usb cdrom on X30 thinkpad
Please, if this is a FAQ, I am really sorry, my googling cannot find it. My Sarge installation booted fine of the usb cdrom and I proceeded to install and run a 2.6.8 kernel. Beautiful, thankyou. I've been using it for a few weeeks. But I am defeated trying to access the CDROM. I do not know how to mount it.

Re: OT: don't understand something about xpdf
cutting and pasting from a pdf - both text and image - is fairly easy using the tools/utils from xpdf. Under X I can drag my mouse over the _text_ in a pdf file. Then in an xemacs window I can double click and the text is pasted in there. (A very useful facility.) How come ? Surely the text in the pdf file is not ascii ? Surely even the text is stored as a graphic in the pdf file ? I am obviously misunderstanding something. Joe Mc Cool -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: playing midi with timiditySOLVED
Please note I have started another tread re timidity and rosegarden4.
It has nothing to do with this one (different machine), and largely sussed.
The timidity in debian is supposed to have working alsa support. Heck, I use
it... It is supposed to have both alsa output driver support (play to an
alsa device), and alsa *sequencer* support (which is what -iA enables).
Debian timidity alsa-sequencing by default uses -iA -B2,8 -Os as
paramenters. It is controlled by /etc/default/timidity and
/etc/init.d/timidity.
I'll confess, at this stage, I have googled so much and tried so many
things that I am really rather tired, confused and frustrated and my
poor old brain is just about frazzled !
So, I started again.
aptitude remove timidity
and, to be sure to be sure, as root:
find . -name timidity* -exec rm {} \;
then
aptitude install timidity
then
timidity /tmp/sweetness.of.mary.mid
-su: /usr/local/bin/timidity: No such file or directory
so
/usr/bin/timidity /tmp/sweetness.of.mary.mid

Essentially my perl script is: system(timidity -L /usr/share/timidity -Ou -o$au_file $midi_file /tmp/timidity 2 /dev/null); system(play -v $volume $au_file ); What is the reason for sending the output to a file and then playing back the file instead of letting timidity send the output directly to the audio device? A mixture of ignorance and laziness. This script has been working for years under a 2.20 kernel. There was no need to change it. issues there. If the file is being played back as it is being created that could lead to some oddities, but would then lead to a question of why does it work with an older kernel using the OSS driver and not with the 2.6 kernel using the alsa driver. I create the midi files using abc2midi. But I have tested using midi from other sources as well and the result is the same: awful, hardly recognisable sound. I normally do not pipe to timidity. I've tried it and the result is again, almost unrecognisable sound quality. This is a pretty standard set of modules. I've used Ensoniq based hardware in the past and currently have one system with an Ensoniq chipset for the onboard audio. I have had issues with static in the audio when the capture level is not set at a low level and the iec958 stuff is not muted, but that doesn't account for bit of the file being played again. If I revert to a 2.2 kernel and use the oss drivers, everything is fine. This leads to the question, if you use the 2.6 kernel with the OSS driver does it work then? Don't have the available. But with 2.6 and alsa I can use mplayer and listen to BBC Radio 3, no problem. This just seems odd. What about audio in other applications? If it only sounds bad with Timidity while using your script that would seem to indicate the issue is in the Timidity configuration or in the script. My hunch is that it is my Timidity configuration, or possibly the age of my box. It is an old PII. But I would have thought that Timidity could have been configured to perform even with that vintage of hardware. My /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg contains: ### ## If you have a slow CPU, uncomment these: opt EFresamp=d #disable resampling opt EFvlpf=d#disable VLPF opt EFreverb=d #disable reverb opt EFchorus=d #disable chorus opt EFdelay=d #disable delay #opt no-antialias #disable sample anti-aliasing opt EWPVSETOZ #disable all Midi Controls opt p32a#default to 32 voices with auto reduction opt s32kHz #default sample frequency to 32kHz opt fast-decay #fast decay notes ### I have tried pmidi, it just hangs. I have reinstalled both timidity and alsa. I have pulled down the timidity source and compiled it afresh. I have tried runing timmidity as a server. The effect is the not always the same, but the end result is always - very badly distorted, repeating sound. Thanks a lot.

Re: playing midi with timidity
Please, when I try to play sound with alsa under a 2.6 kernel, the quality is awful, the system seems to repetitively play little snatchs of my tune over and over, superimposing some of the sound on top of what it has already played.

I don't know where the apache config file lives and 2. I don't want the mail list archive to be public I've added the aliases (manually - newlist does not add them) to /etc/aliases and I have run newaliases. I have restarted mailman and exim4. I can send mail to the list: ls | mail -s test sheep and no errors are returned similarly (as joe): ls | mail -s subscribe sheep-subscribe returns no errors. But I get no acknowledgement and subsequent mails to sheep are not mailed to me as a subscriber. Confused :-( I need an idiots guide.

All of kdm's internally generated messages (i.e., not from libraries and external programs/scripts it uses) go to the daemon.* syslog facility; check your syslog configuration to find out to which file(s) it is logged.
