Hi,
Is there a command line tool to `normalize' or balance the volume of
mp3s? Something simple, that just makes MP3s the same volume, without
me having to convert them to .wav's before.
Thanks,

It is multilingual. It just fixes the fuck ups of RedHat in that regard while
maintening
a similar amount of core dumps that RedHat users are used to.

Netscape 128 bits version. Impossible to install unless you screw up your sytem
bad. They made it such that you can't install those package under SuSE or RedHat.
There should be a standard on locals that should be the same whether you use
SuSE or Mandrake. I think the locales on mandrake are better but stability is
better under SuSE.

Hello,
after hard work with installing Squid23-STABLE4 under SuSE6.4 I got it
run. But if I chose a ftp directory all icons are broken. The mime.conf,
mime.types files are located in /etc also the directory named icons. In
squid.conf I made the correct entries for mime table and icon path but as
I told you, it doesn´t find the icons. The syslog tells the following:

Who can help me. Thanks very much Christian

What I said. If you change the partition table on the DISK, you have to
adjust the corresponding map that the kernel holds of it, or they'll
differ and you'll get "interesting" results. I.e. you have to persuade
the kernel to reread the partition table from the disk.

I think you're confusing two parts of the software universe.
I haven't rebooted in weeks, so I can't show you the log. But if you
get a chance, look at the kernel boot sequence. You'll see the kernel
reads the partition tables of all devices on the ide controllers.
Nothing to do with mount.

You can't. As far as the kernel is concerned it won't be there. It
needs to reread the partition table from the disk. The image it
has of the table is out of date. It will only reread the table
under particular circumstances, and you have to ask it to. Fdisk
does ask it, afair, but if any of the disk is mounted at the time,
(for example), the ioctl will error.
: (You'll have to shut down to put the drive in of course, but once it's
: there, there should be no need for a reboot).
Think again. Why is this point so hard to grasp! You canot change the
ondisk sizes of partitions or create new ones without requiring the
kernel to reread the table. If it didn't reread and you changed the
size of /dev/hda1, say, then a mke2fs /dev/hda1 would use the old size
instead of the new one.
: No idea why a reboot is neccesary...
It guarantees that the kernel rereads the partition table. I told him
to do that because I couldn't guarrantee it for him in any other easily
describable way.

Linux doesn't need -R. -R is used to hardcode a library search path into an
executable: Solaris doesn't have an ld.so.conf style dynamic loader, so
the library search path is either placed into the exe, or you use
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. So essentially, junk the -R options.

<snip>
Mandrake Linux branched off from Red Hat Linux in the 5.x days maybe 2
years ago. It started off because at that time, Red Hat refused to
include KDE within their distribution. So the initial Mandrake
releases were little more than Red Hat Linux with KDE. In a short
while, Mandrake became popular and then Red Hat decided to include KDE
in their distribution. Since then the Mandrake folks have strived on
their own, developing their own installation and configuration tools,
etc. Mandrake puts more effort towards the desktop market while Red
Hat goes for the server market so that is where you will see the
biggest difference.

Corel Linux is aimed at Windows users and seems to install as easily as
Windows - maybe even easier. Handles partitioning for you. The
distribution that requires the most knowlwdge is Slackware. Some whare
in between is Mandrake, Storm, RedHat, and many others. RedHat favors
GNOME, so you may want to give them a try.

Correct until the end. I installed a second drive to my system, added
partitions, and FDisk said something about calling IOCTL to recan table.
The only required re-boot was to physically install the drive (I didn't
have any hot-swappable equipment).
When I booted, I FDisk'ed the drive, mke2fs'ed the drive, modified fstab,
moved the contents of the /var partition (one of the ones I was moving
to the new drive) to a temp home, mounted the new /var partition on hdb,
moved the var-backup to its new home, and all was well.

You'll have to read the man page for 'cp' (man cp). One caveat you'll run
into when copying file is file permissions. Not all applications can deal
with their files suddenly being owned by 'root'. (Squid, for one, will bomb
on you if its cache is suddenly owned by root).
'cp -a' should do the trick for you, but I prefer to specify all options
verbosely rather than relying on a "Same as ... " approach. Also, I like
the -v (be verbose) option present so that I know what my system is doing,
also so that I know if there are any problems.
Me, I'd use;
cp -d -p -R -v /mnt/old /mnt/new
That worked like a champ for me when moving my /var partition around.
One could also possibly use the abilities of 'mc' to copy everything,
but I'd still stick with cp if I had the choice.
The other thing you could do, and it's something I've seen suggested
many times, is use 'tar' to archive all the files on the source partition
and expand them to the destination. This could be done in one or two steps
(either archive then extract, or use pipe to extract as it archives), but
again, cp worked for me so my reccomendation remains with it.

That's the one. The ioctl'll error out unless the drive is completely
dismounted at the time. I couldn't guarrantee it for him at his level
of expertise, so I asked him to reboot, which will ensure that every
partition is dismounted.

You'd have had to reboot if your root was on the drive and you were
repartitioning it, for example. That kind of situation is all I
intended to avoid by issuing the instruction as above.

What distribution and kernel version are you using?
I get a very similar error with my Creative 6424 under kernel versions
2.2.14, 15 and 16. Kernel version V2.2.13 (and prior) work perfectly.
There have been some major edits to the scsi source code in the last 3
kernel releases.
At this point my work around is to use 2.2.13. This is not the best
solution BUT is all I have right now. If you do some searches on
dejanews with write_g1 you'll see you are not the only one BUT no one
seems to have come up with a fix.
Good luck!
