Re: [arch-general] cd/dvd burning software

[mick howe via arch-general]

Recently a friend asked me to compile and burn a few of his favourite
songs to CDs to keep in his hot rod. worked out to 120 tracks on 4
CDs. That was easy enough to do with brasero or xfburn but neither of
them even allow me to directly print the song list or even copy it to
the clipboard. The only way to get the list was 'screenshot' the file
list to the clipboard, open libreoffice and create a page template,
paste the lists into it and print that.

I didn't make myself clear, there are plenty of adequate programs to
author and burn the disc out there but everything seems to go out of
its way to make printing a file list to go with the disc a massive
chore, I mean how hard would it be to make the printable file list?

Re: [arch-general] Telinit?

[mick howe via arch-general]

ArchLinux devs found a much more convoluted, obfuscated method of starting
the system and setting it up "read to use". Goes with unreadable logs, etc
My recollection was that telinit was a mechanism to tell init to change run
level such as change from run level 3 (to put it crudely - normal running
mode) to run level 6 (civilised, orderly shutdown and power off).
It's been many years since I cut my teeth on Red Hat 5.2.

you have rebooted since update? Every time updates generate a new startup?

Re: [arch-general] Got a problem with networking.

[mick howe via arch-general]

Originally using the same account name/password on all systems but after
latest network issues started I changed passwords on win7 and arch.
Made some impact: arch to desktop win10 now works, Laptop to mapped arch
directory works,
Arch to laptop win10 no, win10 desk to laptop no, win10 lap to win10 desk no
Need to work out how to use wireshark/tcpdump when I can think again

[arch-general] Got a problem with networking.

[mick howe via arch-general]

Systems:

Arch / xfce on my main system ( I5, 32gb, 2 + 1tb)

I3 laptop 12gb, 1TB lenovo B50-70 dual booting, originally win8.1 & arch,
when I upgraded to win10 I broke my arch installation and replaced it with
kubuntu because I couldn't face over a week of recreating the arch system.
(Ever since I started using Linux Red Hat 5.2 I have only ever been able
restore the directories and file names, but not the contents.

win7 desktop 4gb, 320GB

Before upgrading to to win10 networking broke with each update to
networking on either arch or windoze usually one system or the other or
both were unable to see each other. I was able to fix it, usually it seemed
all had to do was touch the samba config file. After I added the win7 box I
was able to see all system from each box and sometimes copy files. From the
win7 box I could copy files from any box to any box.

Since I "updated" win7 to win10 I can see but NOT connect between any of
the boxes and have had to resort to sneekernet for file transfers.

I have tried numerous times to find the cause and fix it but I'm just going
round and round in circles, getting nowhere.

Is there anyone out in the ether land who could guide me through this issue?

thank you, I now can make sense of most of what to do. DNS isn't working if

configuring the modem once I get the password for the account.

​I tried it when I first started with linux in 1994​ and now avoid it like

I need a string of cascading daemons to do everything.

[arch-general] manually configure network

[mick howe via arch-general]

I've just changed ISP and I can't get the changed configuration to stick.

I'm using 'static IP address - manual assignment' from Network
configuration wiki page.

I need to change my address from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.20.1/24.

using iproute2 tools as per wiki I can get everything working UNTIL I
reboot, at which time some of the settings show the old values and others
the new.

I've been manually configuring these settings without problems since I
started using linux in 1994.
