I doubt a networked setup such as his would be possible with pt. Well, I don't know if it's possible to set up a comparable networked setup with protools, that surely is a big advantage jack delivers us. Tomorrow I'll do a recording in a professional studio (SAE in munich, for those who know this school) which I guess uses mac + protools. I think I'll take a closer look to it, maybe they have such a networked setup there. But I doubt it.. The SAE in Munich did for a while sponsor Paul Davis to work on a Mac version of Ardour with a simplified user interface for teaching purposes. Maybe you can get us some information from there, whether it was used, how well it worked and so on.. Regards, Philipp So, back again. I really had close to no time yesterday to talk to people, I was the guy who was chosen to be the one with the camera, because I'm our multimedia guy ;-) But I asked the 2nd tone assistant about the software being used in the SAE and he talked about ProTools, Logic, Cubase and Nuendo. I asked him, if he knows Ardour, he said, of course, the guy who wrote that software is right next door! But the guy was gone already. I forgot his name, but it was not Paul Davis ;-) But I guess he might be a contributor or something. About the networked setup, well, in the control room there was no networked setup, the computer was there and every other hardware. Only the backups are stored on another computer via network. For those interested, tomorrow we'll get the final product and provide it as free (free in the sense of free beer) download on our homepage http://www.unstucc.de and on http://www.myspace.com/unstucc (I hope a little advertisement is allowed here ;-) ) It's a crossover song with Metal and HipHop, a little bit like Linkin Park.

[arch-general] How to disable automatic svn updates in Konqueror 4.4?
So it looks like an annoying feature got added to a recent upgrade to KDE4. (Maybe in the recent 4.4 beta?) When using Konqueror as a file manager, apparently there's some new subversion integration - which is getting enabled by default. If you go into konqueror --profile filemanagement and click on an svn working directory, konqueror automatically displays the svn status using icons, and automatically performs an svn update when you enter the directory. Anyone know how to disable this feature? Thanks, DR

It was my fault after all. Maybe you'd have found it, if I had posted
the entire fcrontab command:
@mail(1),first(5) 8h ${tellit} pacman sync; \
{ pacman --noprogressbar -Sy pacman --noprogressbar -Qu || :; } 21
and ${tellit} is:
tellit=/root/bin/screen_backtick.sh -u root -b0
and screen_backtick.sh calls my very own eventlogger, which is a shell
interface to mq_overview(7), the posix message queues. There are
a number of writers in my systems sending status messages to be
displayed in the screen/tmux status line. After switching to tmux,
I increased the rate at which these messages are dequeued and displayed,
so the queues filled up. There's resource limiter in eventlogger: if
too many messages are queued, the STORM pseudo-message is shown to
indicate an error. It so happens that STORM is set to too much
happens.
I should have known better: If I am the only person with some problem,
it just might be my fault ...

I haven't tested it but you can try fbset fbset works without KMS but not with it. It does change something, but not thye way you want. For example with a 1280x960 screen it is possible to get a 640x480 console in the top left corner of the screen but not fullscreen. - Is there a way to enforce an aspect ratio, eg. to have a 4:3 mode with black stripes on the sides on a 16:10 strip? I'm not sure about this, maybe if you set a lower 4:3 resolution on your 16:10 screen AND in the BIOS of your laptop it's setup to NOT scale the screen it will show the black stripes.

Re: [arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [PATCH] fixed detection of CONSOLEFONT and enabled all *gz fonts
I removed psf.gz since i didn't find what's the difference between psfu.gz and psf.gz and maybe it supposed to be handled in other way. The difference between a psfu and a psf font, is that psfu also contains a unicode - glyph mapping which is a necessity for UTF-8 consoles. The psf fonts don't have a unicode map, and by default are only usefull for the charset they were designed for. but it's possible to load an external unicode map with setfont -u. references: /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/README.psfu man setfont -- damjan
