[SLUG] Mass converting Gigabites of wma to mp3
Hi
I have 287Gb of my music still on an external HD in Windows Wma format
in multiply directory's under a top directory of wma
i wish to mass convert these files and do a little tidy up on them
I have 3 main goals to achaive
1. Converting the wma to mp3
2. Removing the wma after converting
3. removing the old desktop.ini files in these directory
i have looked around the net and the best so far is the bash file below.
this will convert the wma but wont handle recursive directory.
Could some one please help me archive my goals

There's an awfully nifty utility called find that you can use
whenever you need to interact with directory trees recursively.
I'll give you an example for your first problem, and the rest should
seem fairly obvious from there:
find -type f -iname '*.wma' -exec wma2mp3 {} \;
Which means find anything in this directory tree that's a file whose
name matches '*.wma' and then execute 'wma2mp3 that file'.
Remember, with great power comes great responsibility! Before you run
any find commands you should first make sure you're doing what you
think you're doing. Especially don't trust find commands given to you
by some random guy from the internet.
Changing -exec blah to -exec echo blah will show you what command
you're about to run on lots and lots of files. You may even want to
copy-paste one of the lines of echo output to your terminal to dry-run
it on just one file.
Don't be too proud to double-check - I'm sure everyone here has a
great story or two about wiping their home directory.
Oh, and as always, man find will bring great enlightenment and happiness.

Re: [SLUG] Re: slug Digest, Vol 24, Issue 35
I have seen those problems also. If you are certain that you have the correct driver (this must be right) then try supplying a username and password. It is quite possible that 'nobody' doesn't have the correct access with samba for the printer share to be able to print. Within Samba, it checks username/passwords.. even to print.. Cleanest way is to make sure you have the user registered on the debian etch printing machine with smbpasswd. In the print administration, click and select the log in with a user option if you need to test with a know userid/password.

If you are certain that you have the correct driver (this must be right) then try supplying a username and password. It is quite possible that 'nobody' doesn't have the correct access with samba for the printer share to be able to print. Within Samba, it checks username/passwords.. even to print.. Cleanest way is to make sure you have the user registered on the debian etch printing machine with smbpasswd. In the print administration, click and select the log in with a user option if you need to test with a know userid/password. Why use samba for any of the printing stuff? Cups works perfectly, nicely, properly. I even use cups for windows to print raw to an epson photo printer, the only missing bit is the ink-level feedback and despite all the PR epson's win print of photos is better than their linux offering.

No, the will not work as written. It must be used as a conjunction
on one command line, as in the following example:
mplayer blah lame goop
# the next step will be done.
#
function wma2mp3 () {
if [ ! -f $1 ]; then
echo File $1 not found!
else
mplayer -ao pcm:file=${1%%.[Ww][Mm][Aa]}.wav $1
lame -h -b 192 ${1%%.[Ww][Mm][Aa]}.wav ${1%%.[Ww][Mm][Aa]}.mp3
The above will not work as intended. Rather, you will see an error:
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `'
rm -f ${1%%.[Ww][Mm][Aa]}.wav ||
echo There was a problem with the conversion process!
fi
}

Hi Rodolphe, You posted to me but I presume to meant to post to the list :-) I don't know of any Internet cafes in Sydney that run Linux on their desktops - as you suggest it's the holy grail - maybe others on the list would know? The closest I've seen recently was a number of Optus kiosks scattered around the international terminal offering free Internet access. They all seem to be powered by Ubuntu, but I only figured that out because of the one that'd crashed on a boot screen. :-/ I would suggest that if you get desperate for a Linux desktop you could by a cheap second hand laptop and install a light version of Linux like Xubuntu http://www.xubuntu.org/ Incidentally, Xubuntu on the Eee is a winning combination. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Adding Comic font to Xvfb FC6
Sluggers, Just looking for some info on how to add the ttf comic to FC6 so that Xvfb will use it. I've inherited a server that is using html2image to generate page images using Xvfb and the resultant images don't look like what the user sees on their desktop because the font comic is missing. I pinched the file comic.ttf from my desktop (FC5) and I've found a directory /usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF which seems to contain files like luximb.ttf on the server. So can I just dump the comic.ttf file in there or do I need to run some utility to get it to add the font to the list somewhere. I assume that I'll need to restart Xvfb.
