[expert] /dev/tty12 - anybody seen?

[Ricardo Castanho de O. Freitas]

Hi,

I really do not not what happened to my logs redirect 'automagically' to
/dev/tty12!!

It was handy, nice and desirable!

But now it's gone!

I had a power failure and the system went down BUT before that...
I was trying to figure out how to select the messages there then I
gave up and this morning (after seeing the power failure efect...),
there is no console after tty6! usually from tty1 to tty6 are for console
usage and tty7 is working fine when I log into X and I am able to go and
come as usual, But then again

Where is all the logging on /dev/tty12? It seems dead!

Hope to hear from you soon,

Ricardo Castanho

As already recommended: use gramofile!
It's excelent. I've used it to 'transform' several k7 audio to CD!

But I got a recipe:

- I record and process the sound with gramofile; (initial input and final)
- I use aumix to control the input/output levels;
- I transform wav -> mp3 -> wav, with cddoit (it works with directories,
so you copy all the files to be converted into a directory and inform the
input and output directories to cddoit);
- As I have to edit the K7 source
I use a 'graphic' program "Audacity" which handle both wav and mp3.

We also have SoundStudio, but Audacity is faster, much faster to process!

Enjoy,

[expert] Blurred XFree fonts!

[Ricardo Castanho de O. Freitas]

Hi, there

Please, I just installed mdk8.2 on a new machine and after installing
Nvidia drivers, I got all fonts blurred!

As I mainly use word processors, it's killing my not so good poor eyes!

On mdk8.1, another machine, with a Voodoo 3, the fonts and every thing is
perfect!

The NVidia drivers were rebuilt on the mentioned machine (8.2)
from the rpm sources (NVidia and NVidia-kernel).

I have a gf2 mx200 - integrated (Asus ATN266-VM).

Before rebuilding the souces, I was using VGA or fbdriver an the fonts
were OK!

Any help, Idea!

I would like to have that machine *with* acceleration!

TIA!

Hi Eric!

I've tried several combinations! This one worked:

/mnt -> drwxr-x--- ricardo cdrom (this last 'cdrom' was a mistake!) but,
worked out!
/mnt/cdrom -> dr-xr-xr-x ricardo:cdrom

The same for floppy, I get a I/O error but it opens konqueror correctly!

That's why I mentioned 'register' (set an account up), because that's
exactly what happened to me!

I just started it all over from the beginning!

[expert] CD-RW as backup!

[Ricardo Castanho de O. Freitas]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello!

In the past I used to take those CD-RW and make backups on them just
mounting them and then using taz (and gzip) but, now with mdk8.1 I
can't!!

I can use the CD-writer normally! At /dev/sg!

How can I use the CD-writer for this?
In the past it looked like a *big* floppy for zip-disquete!
It was a HP8100i (RIP) ;-(

Now I would like to do the same on a CD-writer creative! (remember it's
working ok with cdrecord!)!

Can I put a *second* entry on fstab to use and write my cd-writer!
(it's installed on /dev/hdd!)

It seems that mdk has its own gtklib! What can I do?

Force the installation?

Pine is my main mailer but, I would like to have a alternative to it!
Until now, every and each combination I tried just messed up the mail

Thankfully, the guys from the list gave the 'rename' hint and it's working
