did you add alsasound to the boot process?

i went 6 months trying to figure out what was wrong with my microphone until i 
realised that i forgot to do that!

also unmute the microphones using alsamixer (in alsa-utils) like Hung 
sugested.

[gentoo-user] TS (transport stream) files: how to strip anything unwanted?

[meino . cramer]

Hi,

from recording from my dvbt-card I have some ts-files (transport
stream). 

To save space AND quality, I want to strip anything from those files,
which is not wanted: anything, which is neither audio nor video. But
I dont want to reencode audio and video for that.

How can I do that? 

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
mcc

I guest you may need to play around with the mixer (KDE,GNOME) or
alsamixer to enable internal microphone. I have to enable
recording/capture in GNOME volume applet to make the internal microphone
worked on my D630.

Hope this help,
Hung

[gentoo-user] Anyone get Acer laptop internal microphone working in Gentoo?

[Walter Dnes]

  I got an Acer Aspire 4551-2728 earlier this year, and now I have some
spare time on my hands, and I've got it almost 100% functional under 64
bit Gentoo linux.  The networking was dead easy, as was the video (once
I was pointed to the instructions).  The webcam took some digging, but
I figured it out, with "Mr. Google's" help.  The last item that doesn't
work yet is the internal microphone.

  Has anybody gotten an internal microphone on any Acer laptop working?

Well this is the purpose of hp-setup, adding or deleting printers.

Run "hp-setup -r" then you can select the printer you want to delete.
Afterwards run "hp-setup" without options to add them again.

But you are right the message should be more verbose.

Hi,

I update my MakeHuman svn source and the Blender svn source on a daily
basis. Currently the Blender folks did a change in the registration
code for Blender scripts. The MakeHuman folks provide a script, which
is needed to load the putput of MakeHuman into Blender. This script
isn't "new registration ready".

I have to do the following the changes to the Makehuman script (a
handfull):

change this: ===
def registration()

Try the ampersand "&" like the example below.

Make a file of phone numbers.
$ cat phone.txt
555-1212
555-1234
555-

Then run the following command to prefix the number with 212 and a dash.
$ sed 's/555/212-&/' phone.txt
212-555-1212
212-555-1234
212-555-

Try moving the ampersand around the replacement string.  If moved to the
beginning it transposes the numbers.  Note:  The dash was moved to make
the result look better, it has nothing to do with the command.
$ sed 's/555/&-212/' phone.txt
555-212-1212
555-212-1234
555-212-

There's nothing special about a line, it's just a bunch of characters that end 
with a newline (itself just a character).

But you can't insert stuff at arbitrary points, you can only replace stuff 
with other stuff. You can replace the start of line marker (^), so do this:

$ cat sed.txt 
1
2
$ cat sed.txt | sed -e 's/^/a\n/g'
a
1
a
2

I replaced "start of line" with "a and a newline". Modify the regex to suit 
your needs. This gets awkward though, as you can search with a regex but only 
replace a literal. If you need to insert some line before any line containing 
say a "z" for example, then that is way beyond sed's capabilities and you are 
into awk|perl territory.

You didn't clearly state what you are trying to do with examples, so the above 
vague wishy-washy goop is the best I can do for you.

Hi,

 I am trying to instruct sed to insert a line of text before

 Is it possible? And how is it possible?
