Hi folks,
i am currently searching a tool to generate sound effects in linux.
What I found so far are several wave editing tools but none of them
can create sounds. I need it to create special effects for a
multimedia production. Under Windows there are several shareware
tools, but since I do not like working with windows ....
Can anybody can name such a program or is a project currently around?

There seems to be a whole lot of repetitive questions on the Linux
newsgroups lately. Most deal with networking, installation, or DSL/Cable
modems....because of this I have started to comprise a list of helpful links
to sites that supply howto's and other articles.

Hi,
I've set up anonymous ftp on my RedHat 6.2 server. I can log into the
server no problem as user ftp but when I try to upload a file to
/home/ftp/pub, I get the following error message:
Permission denied on server. (Upload)
I'm sure that this ia a simple configuration problem.

If you install linux on one Disc all by itself, then you don't need to
worry because the set-up tool will determine everything.
If you do install it as a dual-boot then you would need to be careful
:-)
Since I have not installed Mandrake I am not sure but I guess that
there is certainly a tool for the install.
Also there are quite a few Internet sites ( for newbies) that deal
with all those questions, just put Linux and newbies in a
search-machine and you will be _pleasantly_ surprised at how many
sites are out there.....
deja.com too is a great resource of information as well...

I had the same problem. Your BIOS has a resident virus detection software.
Is it ChipAwayVirus ? That is a common one. Go to BIOS setup at the boot (ESC
or DEL key). Go to CMOS setup or Advanced CMOS setup. In one of them there will
be a BIOS virus detection item. Just disable it.

The size of the partitions depends a little on the size of your hard
drive and/or how much space you are allowing linux to use. It also
depends on what you are wanting to install and use the system for. The
only partitions that are mandatory are the root ( / ) partition and the
swap partition.
Below is the output of "df -h" on my system.

It will depend on what you want to hide from the user,( let say
personal folders ) or if you want that only root has access to certain
directory then you just need to change ownership of them to root.
How many users are working on that PC, would also determine the
approach to choose.

Good God man! Try not to cross post to so many groups in future! :-)
Anyway, I had an email from somebody with this problem a few days ago.
The problem was that their computer had been cracked into and system
files like 'ps' replaced by altered versions. Try the following tests
(the 'bash$ ' part is the prompt):
bash$ ps h 1
1 ? S 0:04 init
bash$ echo $?
0
bash$ ps h 9999
bash$ echo $?
1
Now if you get '0' printed out when you try to list a non existent pid
(i.e. 9999 - this is _unlikely_ to be in use, but it might be if you
have lots of porgs running) then you may have the same problem. Try this
too across the whole filesystem:
find / -type f | xargs grep "duarawkz"
find / -type f | xargs grep "Assassins"
This may or may not return any matches. If the problem persists, look in
/usr/bin for any suspicious directories or symlinks. Consider the fact
that you may have been attacked. If you have any more questions, feel
free to reply, but note that I have set the followup to point to just
comp.os.linux.questions. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Dave. :-)

Hi
I need to remove superblock info on a couple of disks. How do I do this ?
Why ? Because I've set a couple of partitions RAID and and the raidtools package
writes into the superblock...and the linux kernel autodetect reads this and
mounts my disks as raid. I haven't got a kernel with the patch to switch off
this autodetection.
Thanks in advance.

I suspect, the file wasn't on any of the zip discs, but in the mount
directory /zip itself. Maybe you should have tried
umount /zip
ls /zip
to see, if the file was copied into the directory itself, when no zip
was mounted.

As far as word-processing is concerned, the standards exist and have
achieved quite a level of competitivity with formats such as Word. Take HTML
4 + CSS 2 and have a look at what is possible. Problem is, nowadays many
people use Netscape 4.x, to preserve a so-called competition between
browsers. While Netscape 4.x stays around with a significant market share,
web developers will tend to limit themselves to Netscape 4.x possibilities,
and what will urge MS to comply to the spec more than their competitor have
never had?
For the problem with HTML+CSS is that it is quite rich and quite in advance
on the existing browsers. So, if you get real competitors, i.e. competitors
who really try to compete on technical aspects (unlike Netscape on their
Navigator product those last years), maybe the standard will come to life.
Until then...
That's the difference between a standard format and a proprietary format : a
proprietary format is always implemented at least once. The standard might
never become real.

The problem is on the meaning of "quality". Quality is not about making a
perfect product, it's about meeting requirements. All features that are not
part of the requirements do not increase the quality of the product, they
only add comfort (sometimes getting something too much better than what is
required, but at increased cost, is considered a lack of quality, which is
easily understood because very often "at an optimal cost" is part of the
requirements).
Someone wanting to run a internet webserver will require that the OS is
stable because he wants the machine to be able to work round the clock with
minimal need of human assistance. So the quality of an internet webserver
includes meeting the stability requirement.
Now consider someone working with his computer for interactive tasks
(wordprocessing, drawing, multimedia, etc...). What the job is about is
communicating with the machine, so one of the major quality requirements
will be a rich user interface. I personnally prefer (for interactive tasks)
software that has a rich interface (for instance Windows apps using the GUI
intensively) to software that I can run for three days without a crash,
because restarting a crashed app is faster than using a lame GUI. Of course,
I'll prefer very much to have both, and indeed, most of the time, I get rich
apps with reasonable stability even on Windows, whatever linux advocates
say.
Moreover, any software should be crash resistant (meaning you don't corrupt
your data on a crash, whatever its cause), because it's impossible to avoid
a machine from crashing for hardware reasons (power unit dies, for
instance), and you don't want to have redundant everything for hardware that
does not need permanent availability.

This is true. I can't exactly call Redhat buggy. Rather, it's kind of
outdated and sloppy. Other distros like Mandrake have come up with nicer
utilities, while Redhat hasn't done much to keep up. They've been
surpassed. But the biggest problem with Redhat is that their default
configurations show no evidence of forethought. It takes too much work to
make a Redhat installation usable. Others install and configure themselves
much closer to how they will probably be used, so they take a lot less work.
And that's whole point of a distribution, isn't it? Redhat is simply not
doing a very good job these days. They're mostly riding on name
recognition.

I just started a two node Beowulf cluster and I am having troubles

I am using lam-6.3.2. The error message I keep getting tells me that
there was a problem with rsh on the other node. If you are familiar with
lamboot the error message is coming from the

The superblock stores the logical parameters for the filesystem on the
disk (it's "logical geometry" as it were). If you remove the
superblock, you effectively remove access to the filesystem.
So, to remove the superblock, reformat the partitions in question.
This will remove the RAID superblock for sure, and you won't be any
worse off than if you had just removed the superblock and not
formatted the partition.

That might well be possible. I suppose you know what you're speaking
about. Altough I'd be suprised if the bearings seized after little off time
(one night or a week end).
In the enterprise (which is our discussion), this is probably the best
solution.
On the other hand, at home, I think that switching off is more natural :
most
of the time the hard drives are probably obsolete long before they are dead.
Maybe my opinion is biaised by the fact that I prefer IBM hard drives. If
you
listen to how silent they are, you understand how precise their mechanics
must
be.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

I apologize for taking such a lame question to humans, but Google returns
nothing but lists-of-lists pages describing this instead of providing it.
Where's the tarball for 'loadkeys'??

Subject: WindowMaker mail beeps when asked not to
Date: 19 Sep 2000 12:40:40 -0700
I am using WindowMaker on RedHat Linux 5.2. WindowMaker beeps
whenever new mail arrives, although I have tried to ask it not to.
I have the line
NoBeep
in my .wmmailrc file
No other lines in .wmmailrc seem to be responsible. Can anybody help?
Thanks,
David
