i'm not positive how to reproduce it, but i did figure out that
mozilla was blocking while trying to talk to esd. killing esd freed
it up and let it run. i've had trouble with esd blocking things up
before, especially gqmpeg, ogg123, mpg123 combinations when i try to
skip through songs quickly.
ok, further investigation...if esd is not running, mozilla's flash
plugin (which ultimately uses the java plugin?) tries to access it,
which starts it, then it gets stuck. killall -CONT esd gets it going
again. having esd running before mozilla tries to access it allows it
to check esd and move on without getting stuck.

sound blocking in java
a while back, there was a thread about mozilla starting slowly, and it
was attributed to a poorly-written shockwave plugin which tried to
open the sound device when mozilla started. this open blocked if
the sound device was being used by something else, and made mozilla's
startup wait until the sound device was free.
since shockwave seems to be written in some java, i looked at the java
plugin to see if it exhibitted the same behavior, and it does. though
it doesn't block the startup of mozilla, applets (using j2sdk1.3
plugin) block when they try to access the sound device.
should it be java's responsibility to open the sound device in a
nonblocking mode and fall through nicely if the sound device is busy,
or should it be done by the java programmer?
in the case of it being my responsibility to open it non-blocking, how
would i go about doing that? is there something i can do to make
AudioClip.play() not block?
on the other hand, if it is the jvm's responsibility to do it, maybe
fixing this will fix the shockwave plugin's misbehavior.

The

I have compiled the kernel with UDF read support (as module). But
when
I mount the CD after loading the udf module, I get the following :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cdrom$ l

-r-xr-xr-x1 root root 65 Dec 17 2000 autorun.inf
-r-xr-xr-x1 root root 421546 Dec 17 2000 udfrinst.exe
Why is it not reading the UDF file system ? What is the use of udf
file system support in the kernel ?
If it's reading the disc at all, I think it's working. Are those the
files you burnt to the disc using UDF ??
ps.: With DIRECT CD use can just copy the files from one window to
other. Is this possible somehow in Linux. Means using simple cp
command can some files be backed up on this CD ?
The file manager you're using would need to have support for UDF and I
personally don't know of any (yet). Others may...
it looks as if the cd has both an iso and a udf image, so it can offer
up that udfrinst.exe to install udf support on your windows box.
make sure the cd is being mounted with the udf fs type, not iso9660.
mount will show you. but basically try mount -t udf /cdrom
/dev/cdrom, or whatever your proper devices and mount-points are.
i've burnt udf discs with linux using the boring old:
1. dd out a 700M empty file
2. mkudf that file
3. loopback mount it
4. copy files to it
5. unmount it
6. burn it as an image.
i haven't tried any packet writing. i tried it mainly for more
versatile filenames.

does kde have that sound daemon running? i used to notice that
mozilla would sometime just take forever to start, while other times
it was quick. the earlier discussion over this pointed to mozilla's
(maybe actually the shockwave or java plugin's) attempt to open
/dev/dsp, presumably to check for sound. wouldn't you know it --
mozilla always waits to pop up for the moment between 2 playing mp3s.
in the moment between the songs, esd closes the sound device, and
mozilla's attempt to open it unblocks, and mozilla finishes starting.
apparently older sound drivers would fail to open when it is in use,
but the newer ones just block until it is again available, hence
blocking mozilla (or any other app that tries to open it). the test
for sound hardware probably expects to fail and continue, not block.
ultimately, this should be addressed in mozilla or the plugin which
tries to open the device.
i believe you can demonstrate the same behavior with the older mp3
players. fire off 1 after another, and the second waits for the first
to finish and close /dev/dsp.
newer programs
ah, i just straced mozilla while playing an ogg file through esd. it
stops at:
open(/home/john/.esd.conf, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
access(/dev/dsp, W_OK)= 0
open(/dev/dsp, O_WRONLY
blocking for the sound device.
meanwhile, a better sound app like ogg123 uses O_NONBLOCK when
opening the device:
open(/dev/dsp, O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
i just removed the flashplayer plugin, and it starts up fine. the
culprit in my approximation then is the flashplayer plugini trying to
test /dev/dsp and blocking until it is available.
personally, i've just resorted to stopping my music while waiting for
mozilla to start. it is much faster that way.

Do you have any recommendations on a fast external USB-based CD burner

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
i'm using the old iomega zip 650 cd with my laptop over usb. it works
nicely, though it's far from fast -- it's only a 4x. i think the
speed may be a bit limitted due to usb. i saw an ad for a new iomega
usb burner which dodes 8x or something, but it requires a later
revision of usb spec. i don't know how this applies to linux or your
hardware.
i have hotplug recognizing the device upon connection, and it loads up
the usb-scsi emulation, which assigns it a device in the scsi series,
and i just treat it as a scsi device. it's quite reliable! i have
burnt very few ``coasters''.

`who' is broken?
i'm running i386 debian unstable.
the who program is cutting off the locations strangely, as you'll see
below. also when logged in from a dialup with a long reverse
hostname, who will only print part of the first entry and segfault.
is this a known problem? it's been pretty consistent for at least a
month for me. `w' and `last' work fine.

whats the current state of development regarding
debian packages for watching DVD's?
i couldn't use the debian packages, since the encrypted dvd plugin
isn't exactly distributable with debian, so i built xine from source
and added the css plugin to play my dvd's.
http://xine.sourceforge.net/
this player has been incredibly useful, especially in its latest
release. it's brought me a giant step closer to being able to remove
that win98 partition from my laptop.

alsa-drivers oops my kernel when i reload them
i'm using the alsa 0-0.9beta4 drivers as built from source
distributed with debian unstable.
since debian has started distributing the beta drivers (including
beta3), i've oopsed my kernel every time i've recompiled the
modules, installed them, unloaded the old, loaded the new, then
tried to play an mp3 thru mpg123 - esd - oss emulation.
unfortunately, i can't get a log of the oops, since it takes the
whole machine with it. even magic sysrq seems to be mostly broken
at that point.
any suggestions. i'll try to answer any questions sent my way.
thanks.

no usbmgr for 2.4.x kernels?
i updated my debian unstable laptop today to have the usbmgr package
refuse to configure itself for a 2.4.x kernel. isn't usbmgr the
program that runs my nice little scripts to configure my usb devices
when they are attached? what should i do, since i'm running 2.4?
thanks

multichannels in debian alsa-source 0.9+0beta3-1
i built the new alsa-source modules for my 2.4.3 kernel and was
pleased to notice that i no longer need to unload the modules when i
suspend, but then i noticed that i'm missing support for playing
multiple channels. example: playing 2 mp3s to /dev/dsp (not through
esd). this was a nice little feature of the 0.5.10b drivers.
will the feature be back in the non-beta, or am i merely missing a
configuration somewhere?
i'm using the maestro3 driver on my dell inspiron 3800 laptop.
thanks for any insight.

relay_entire_domain in sendmail
i have FEATURE(relay_entire_domain) in my sendmail.mc, but i still get
errors trying to relay to other machines with my domain name. this
machine should be an mx host for the domain of machines.
i get authentication errors when i try to send to a host on my domain
from an outside site. is there something debian has set in the
debian.m4 which is causing my problem?
how do i fix this?
thanks.
