Re: [Oralux] bootdisc
Hi, Gilles! I've already received the 0.7alpha CD and have successfully boot it with sbm-ru.img downloaded from oralux website. Also, I've asked to check the sbm-ru.img on a i486DX4-100MHz machine, but I've been reported about unsuccessful operation. Then I asked to boot the 0.7A CD with my sbm.img (which includes --noautoscan option), but it also didn't boot. Then I decided to check 0.6A CD with my sbm.img on that computer (this CD was already booted with this sbm.img), but it also didn't work!!? But on my computer all combinations work. P.S. I don't think it is necessary to include sbm images in several languages, as the floppy is intended to boot without user intervention (English is enough, I believe). Instead, I think, two variants of image (with and without --noautoscan option) can be included, if there is a difference between them. I'll try to find out the fine set of options.

[Oralux] Podracer
How do I make Podracer retrieve only the latest episode of a podcast? Seems every time I run the thing, it wants to pick up the whole show of practically everything. Also, I get the following error when I run it: curl: no URL specified! Is that an anomaly in podracer or in my subscription file?

[Oralux] files
Hi I use a site called oldtimeradioprograms.com They have files of shows you can play. Is there a way to do this from the cd. I think they use real and wma files. Thanks Mike. ___ Oralux mailing list Oralux@lists.freearchive.org http://lists.freearchive.org/mailman/listinfo/oralux

Here's a reply from the author of PodRacer, who is not on this list -- Forwarded message -- From: Lorenzo Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Oralux] Podracer (fwd) -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 In order to download only the latest podcasts, try using the catchup option the first time you run Podracer. Then, each time after that, only the most recent shows will be downloaded. As for the curl error, I believe I have fixed that error in a version of Podracer later than the one included in Oralux. It would help to know what version you are running.

Re: [Oralux] apt can't find packages
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes ([Oralux] apt can't find packages): One last question: I'm trying to get mplayer, but it needs several other packages. EVen with --fix-missing, it still isn't finding the dependencies. How can I fix this? You have to add the following line to the file /etc/apt/sources.list: deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main then, do apt-get update. If it still does not work, what packages are missing? hth, Lukas ___ Oralux mailing list Oralux@lists.freearchive.org http://lists.freearchive.org/mailman/listinfo/oralux
[Oralux] Streaming Radio
I don't know what live365 is, but I have a program on here that I think you might like. It is called mplayer and I use it for streaming radio all the time. It is known to play all kinds of file formats, and it is reported to work with the streaming media libraries from http://www.live555.com but I find this functionality is totally broken. It is so bad that it completely causes the compilation of mplayer to fail if used. However, you can do this: Go to the mplayer site at: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ get the source tarball and the essential codecs package for Linux. Now, this might sound a little complex, but do this: Unpack the essential codecs tarball in your home directory. Then do this: move the tarball file of the essential codecs package out of the way so that the following command will not sweep it along into a place where it does not belong and cause you to lose it. You can just put it in another place out of your home directory. When the tarball file is out of the way, and I mean, only the one for the codecs, the one with essential in its name, you will have a directory in your home directory called essential with some numbers after it. Now, do this: change to root and then: mv ./essential* /usr/local/lib/codecs This will place the files required for the mplayer package to play different media formats to be in the place so that it can find them. Now, do this: While still root, because there's no need to keep changing back and forth so much, unpack the tarball for the mplayer itself. Now, mv the tarball file to another place if you wish to keep it, just like the other one. Keep them both together as they are both needed if you do any install on another machine or drive. Now, cd into the directory created by the unpacking of the mplayer source package. Now, once there, do this: ./configure; make; make install Now, go get a soda, some candy, cookies, or whatever or just watch a movie with your wife. The compilation and installation of this program will take quite a while. When the compilation and installation of this program is complete, just try it with one of your live radio links. However, if you keep each link in a file then you will need to do this: mplayer -playlist file-name where playlist means to get the URL from a file, and where file-name is the place to get it from. If the sound comes in for you then you have done it. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C. Computer Scientist For CHRIST!

[Oralux] files
If they use real and wma files, you will have to use mplayer from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ You will need to get the tarballs for the program itself and the essential codecs package for Linux. Just unpack both tarballs into your home directory, put the tarball files themselves away so that are not lost and then just move the directory called essential with some numbers after it to /usr/local/lib/codecs Then unpack the mplayer sources, do this: cd to the directory resulting from the mplayer unpack to start the next process. su to root and do this: ./configure; make; make install The configure script will find the codecs required to render real and window$ media file formats and then it will compile and take a while to do it. When you are done, just try out some of your files. They should work. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C. Computer Scientist For CHRIST!
