I'm on gentoo, so, obviously, YMMV, but upgrading from the 5.4.0 rpm to 6 with -U --nodeps worked fine for me. ~Michael On Thu, 31 Mar 2005 05:04:06 -0800, Phil Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Similar setup here ... And somewhat confused. The release notes suggest uninstalling 5.4 before

I kinda got screwed too. I checked this morning when I read about the sb2, and I bought mine exactly one month +1 day ago:( I'm still having odd problems connecting after power off, and, of course, pcm streaming skips sometimes, even in situations I would have thought would certainly work. I've

I said I'd rather not get into it, but the reason is that I would like the notebook not to have any wires hanging off of it; my usb sound card broke one of my ports in the course of a normal day of hauling it about. Right now I'm using a crossover to avoid dropouts, and I believe the ethernet

I'm loving this conversation. Phil clearly knows what he's talking about to a greater degree than any jitter-audibility-skeptic I've ever encountered. Personally, I am quite sure that differences can be heard between transports (even bit perfect ones, I believe), but am less sure that the kind

Another solution is to use Gmail for your mailing lists. It has a unique interface that closely resembles the flat-threaded forum style that seems most popular (I prefer branching threads personally). Its also much faster than most web applications owing to its use of javascript moderated xml

I think if they are distributing the code outside their organization (whether selling it or allowing download), they have to make their source available upon request (by anyone). Even if they only have to make it available to customers, it must be supplied under the GPL, which would allow those

I'll second what Ron says, and mention that a friend of mine found the ER6 much too uncomfortable, but loves the ER4s (as do I). Also, most Ety owners I know prefer the foam plugs for comfort, seal, and sound quality; I'd imagine that they'd be using the tri-flange silicon tips at an expo, since

On the topic of tagging, does anyone have a favorite bulk-retagging tool for Linux that (hopefully) supports ogg? I used audiotag which supports id3 and ogg/flac. I also wrote a couple quick python wrapper scripts to guess tags based on the several variations on file names I've used (purposely
