A few different options.  I believe that the xmms website has it.  also 
freshrpms has it.
xmms-mp3 from freshrpms.org will do it.

AFAIK the only real limiting factor might be disk space, I've done it on
a P133 with 64 MB RAM in the past. It took a bit longer than with my
current systems but it did work. See my last post on this thread for the
command to check disk space.

I don't qualify as an expert, but I've identified two likely suspects on my

There's only one problem. AcroRead defaulted to lpr and, in the print window, 
I changed it to kprinter, which it now remembers. But I can not find kprinter 
saved in either of these two files. So, there must be at least one more file

error to null in cron jobs

2003-09-16 Thread Jason Joines
  How do you send errors to /dev/null in cron jobs?

  When I run nslookup manually on an IP address that doesn't have a 
name associated with it I get this output:
# nslookup 172.16.1.1
Server:  dynegy.osucba.edu
Address:  172.16.0.254

*** dynegy.osucba.edu can't find 172.16.1.1: Non-existent host/domain

  If I don't want to see the error, I issue the command like this and 
as desired i don't see the error:
# nslookup 172.16.1.1 2/dev/null
Server:  dynegy.osucba.edu
Address:  172.16.0.254

  When I do the same thing in a script via cron, I get the error in the 
ouput even with 2/dev/null.

I generally use  /dev/null to keep things quiet.

You can also put that at the end of the line in /etc/crontab to quiet 
the whole cron job.

GTK2 does run on Windows, but that's not what they did.  They wrote a

Can anyone give me any help?

The first thing to do is look at ``dmesg'' output to see if it's being
recognized.  Do this after turning the drive off for 20 seconds or so, then
turning it back on.  You should see something talking about sbpxxx and
/dev/sd[abcd] (pseudo scsi devices).

After you see that, ``fdisk -l /dev/sd[abcd]'' on the appropriate device
will probably show you a FAT file system.  You will probably want do delete
that partition, then add a Linux partition, then finally make an
appropriate file system using mkreiserfs or whatever you prefer.

dmesg|grep /dev/sd shows:
nothing, just my prompt
I see the earlier promt re: reversing the module load order, but it
seems to have recovered (the prompt follows the boot).  The last SBP-2
message is the result of the 20 second off, then on followed by the
dmesg check.  It seems to see it ok, but is failing to assign it to any
/dev/ device. I get the following after the Node, speed,  payload
message:
sda : READ CAPACITY failed.
sda : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08

Odd, since this is a HD, not a CD.

  I've also just noticed that the wavs I'm creating are over 1gb for just
  few minutes of music (but xmms shows them all asbeing exactly 100 mins
  long 

 where are you attempting to write them?  You dont' seem to have very much
 free space on any of your partitions, especially hda1.  What
 bitrate/frequency are you using to create the wavs?

FWIW, 20 minutes of 44.1KHz 8-bit stereo recorded from vinyl takes up about 
200 MB of space on my ext3 filesystem. RHL 8.0 on an 1GHz Duron with 384MB 
RAM.

And yes, that /windows/C drive looks mighty full.

I don't believe the problem lies with the K6 processor, although it's been a 
while since I recorded audio from the line in on a K6...bit rate might be a 
reasonable culprit, but *something* is amiss here. The plot thickens, indeed.

Could it be a soundcard module problem?

Tim

 i've been printing from acrobat via cups. the command is lp -d LJIIIDSS.
 problem is, i cannot get acrobat to remember this, and i cannot find

 but i cannot for the life of me find it. anybody know?

Well, while we're on the subject of pdf files and printing...
For some reason, I can't print a particular .pdf file and I'm puzzled as to 
why. Other .pdf files print fine, but not this particular one. I was able to 
print it at work using the Windows version of Acrobat Reader 6.0, but not at 
home using acrobat 5.0.5, xpdf, or ggv.

If you wanna try, you can find the file here:
