Finally gave up on Knoppix when the hard drive installed version wouldn't record at all ! (It didn't seem nearly as polished as SUSE either). Bought myself a soundblaster 4.1 card for £20 installed it this eveing reinstalled suse and Audacity seems to be working fine haven't recorded a full 30 mins yet, it's late I'm too tired but so far everything looks ok. Why didn't I buy this 3 weeks ago ! I will report back tomorrow when If tried a full album. Thanks for all your help. -- Squabsy Using Opera, The Bat, K-meleon, or Becky.

Re: recording wavs (or aiffs)
Quoting Michael Hipp [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm still a bit puzzled as to why you're looking at KNOPPIX as a replacement for SuSE. To me, that's like replacing your tennis racket with your golf clubs. They are just meant to do entirely different jobs. A more likely replacement for SuSE would be Red Hat (or Debian, Slackware, Mandrake, Gentoo, etc.). But the solving of the mysterious file size limit in SuSE is a dragon that needs slaying. Once that is done, everything will look different. My reason for considering an insall of Knoppix is that I am able to record wavs fine in it. The problem in SUSe is that the wav files are far too big I've watched them grow as they are recording and I'm up to 250mb in about 2 minutes. I've now spent about three weeks trying to fathom out why with no sucess I think I need either a new sound card of a different distro. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Any distro should be able to handle the job - including SuSE. If switching is indeed the solution, I'd go for something more targeted for the job (Red Hat, say). (Did you perchance note what modules Knoppix was loading vs. SuSE?) The problem in SUSe is that the wav files are far too big I've watched them grow as they are recording and I'm up to 250mb in about 2 minutes. Egad! In doing my church recordings lately, I've been able to keep an eye on it by observing that it figures out to slightly more than 10MB / minute. If you could beg / borrow / steal :-) another sound card just for temporary testing would be a logical next step.

Re: recording wavs (or aiffs)
Could you explain a little more about what error message SuSE gives you when attempting the ESS1969? Try alsaconf from a Konsole window. That's what I do when I have difficulties with You can always try editing /etc/modules.conf manually. Find out what Knoppix uses for a module using lsmod and look for essomething... Then search through /etc/modules.conf for the current module SuSE uses. - Original Message - From: Squabsy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2003 6:23 PM Subject: Re: recording wavs (or aiffs) On Wed, 01 Oct 2003 08:05:47 -0500, Michael Hipp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On the cd version of KNOPPIX I use, I just right click on the pretty icon on the desk and tell it to remount as r/w.

Re: recording wavs (or aiffs)
Quoting Net Llama! [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Should I need to do a HD install of knoppix to get it working ? No, although you will need to remount a partition read/write. Excuse me denseness but I tried last night to do this using various parameters with the mount command but failed miserably. the partition I would like to remount is on dev/hdb2 what should the command look like ? I also tried recording with sox in aiff format having read of other people having similar problems to me with wavs. But it still crashed out after about 7 mins and created a 2gb file with the file size exceeded error msg. I suppose I could try recording straight to a high quality ogg ? If I can get it to work succesfully in knoppix I will try a complete clean re-install of SUSE and then if it still doesn't work I may consider switching to knoppix permanently although as a linux newbie i'm a bit nervous about saying goodbye to YAST.

It fails for me here, because there's no mount point sepcified.
