CD output problem
Hey All,
I'm running debian unstable on my pismo.
Back about 4 months ago, I used to be able to play audio CD's directly
from XMMS, but then it stopped working. Now when I attempt to add
/dev/cdrom to the playlist like I used to I get a bunch of error
messages in /var/log/syslog:
Dec 9 08:29:31 amadeus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 21:00 (hde),
sector 29
Dec 9 08:29:31 amadeus kernel: hde: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady

Dec 9 08:29:31 amadeus kernel: hde: command error: error=0x54

Dec 9 08:29:31 amadeus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 21:00 (hde),
sector 31
etc... I am using ALSA, but I found the sound quality was poor, so I
use the OSS output plugin.
When I attempt to use another CD program, grip or cccd, they appear to
play the CD but I get no sound output.
Assistance greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
jas.
Re: 2.4 2.6 kernels, should sarge be 2.6 only at least for powerpc ?
Lucas Moulin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Jaume Sabater wrote: [snip] I had problems with ALSA using 2.6.6, but they were solved with 2.6.7. Now just XMMS is the only problem left, as it plays songs a bit faster than it should (but it must be only me -again- as other people with similar configs do not suffer from this behaviour). Just go to Preferences ALSA output Advanced Settings and set the period length to 100ms and it should work fine. Hey! Cool! I was wondering why the ALSA plugin didn't work for XMMS, and when I saw this I thought I'd give it a try and voila! it did... Thanks, jas.
Galeon not respecting CSS keyword font sizes??
Hey All, I've been a bit frustrated lately by pages in galeon having noticeably small fonts, but I didn't do much about it. Then I started an overhaul on a site I maintain, and suddenly there were huge differences between what mozilla was showing me and what galeon was showing me. The difference seems to be that galeon displays all fonts at the same size regardless of what the style sheet says. Using font-size: large, or font-size: x-large has no effect under galeon but works under mozilla. This seemed to happen more than a month ago after a galeon upgrade. But it seemed to have something to do with using truetype fonts. But now that there is such a difference with Mozilla on the same machine I'm confused. I'm using the latest galeon on unstable: ii galeon 1.3.14a-1 GNOME web browser for advanced users Is this just me, or has anyone else seen this? Cheers, jas.

Re: Strange modem prob on pismo, Solved!
Hey All, I'm embarassed to say that the modem problem seems to have been related to my init string not working properly. I used kermit to login manually to my ISP and it all worked??!! So I looked more carefully at my chatscript at noticed that I had been using: '' ATZL1M1X3 it seems that the extra 'Z' was part of a 'Z0' that got mangled. So the modem was returning 'OK' and continuing without executing the other commands. I don't know why trying the MacOS init string didn't work, though, but since all I wanted was for it to work, I'm now content. Thanks for all your advice, jas.
Strange modem prob on pismo, redux
Hi all, I wrote in a month back about not being able to connect to my Indian ISP under Linux. I have a Pismo, and I can connect under MacOS, but under linux I simply get chat timeout alarm and 'pon' fails. When I changed to my new house my modem couldn't recognize the phone dialtone, so I disabled dial tone checking. Under MacOS this is good enough to create a connection. But under Linux I do not get a connection using 'pon'. Because the modem speaker on the pismo doesn't work, it's dificult for me to debug the problem. If someone could give me an idea how to proceed, I will be most grateful. Either some explanation of how the modem connection process could differ under linux and MacOS, or some advice for how to debug what is happening without a working modem speaker. Thanks in advance, jas.

A common problem is that the modem takes some time to power up (up to 2 seconds). It powers up when the port is opened. However, the dialers tend to usually expect that the modem replies to the first AT command right away and thus will timeout. You can play with the dialer timeout values, that usually helps. I'm not using a dialer, though, I'm just using 'pon' and editing /etc/chatscripts/provider. Also, my modem works on my old phone line just not the new one. I also changed the script to *not* look for CONNECT, but instead to just pause 10 seconds and succeed (letting pppd do its thing), but that didn't work either. Without the modem speaker I can't hear what's going on, either. I'm pretty stumped :-( Any help appreciated. jas.
Strange modem prob on pismo
Hey All, I've been living in India for 6 months, and I recently changed apartments, and my dialup has stopped working. The first issue was that the modem didn't recognize the dial tone on my new line (which I fixed by telling it to ignore no dialtone errors), but then the pon chatscript just times out without a connection. Under MacOS it works fine (I still have to tell it to ignore the dialtone). So I'm not clear why it can connect under OS 9 but not linux. Since it isn't the modem hardware, I'm guessing that I need a different initialization string? However OS 9 doesn't seem to give any useful way of finding what init string is being used.

libns{jpg,gif,mng,png} and mozilla-browser in sid
Hey all, I just updated galeon yesterday and suddenly the regxpcom call in the postinstall script for mozilla-browser was crashing due to undefined symbols in four old libraries in /usr/lib/mozilla/components. dpkg -S shows that they don't belong to any package, so I moved them out of the way, and now regxpcom and regchrome run fine.

Modem makes no sound on pismo

Please RTFM. :) One of the next sentences I omitted is: 'All -L options apply to all -l options, regardless of the order in which the options appear.' I understand that they all apply, that isn't the issue. The issue is what is the search order of the -L directories: 1) first in first out (queue) 2) last in first out (stack) My understanding (which seems to be flawed) was that it was 2) and not 1). The way makefiles are constructed, you have little control about what comes first on the link line, but you can easily add: -L/my/private/lib -lmylib to ensure that the private lib gets searched first. What is happening to me is that the search order seems to be happening the opposite of the way I believed it to have always been working. I'm downloading code off standard repositories that is suddenly not linking because of this - did it change recently?? No idea, I wouldn't expect it it did though. No, this has not changed in some time. So has the search order been 'first in first out' all along? I can't find this documented anywhere, it seems like an important thing to know.

-L not working properly?
Hey, I'm running an up-to-date sid on my pismo, and in the last month I've started getting strange behavior when compiling code that uses dynamic libraries that I have multiple copies of (devo versions and stable versions). I've got link lines like: g++ -DLINUX -fpic -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib \ [bunch of .o files] /home/jasons/work/xml-xerces/c/bin/DOMPrint -L/home/jasons/work/xml-xerces/c/lib -lxerces-c -lc but I get a bunch of link errors because the linker is actually using the libxerces-c.so in /usr/lib and not the one in /home/jasons/work/xml-xerces/c/lib by hard-coding the exact path to the library it worked fine. This also happened to a CPAN module I downloaded and compiled, which required a completely different library. I thought the order of -L flags was 'last seen, first used'?

(I hope not...) I *do* use ADB keycodes (too lazy to read how to figure out how to switch). jas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Well, yes, that's what comes of becoming attached to proprietary

That's not the issue. Without a fast JVM or JIT, java on linux is *dog

to use it.

That doesn't make sense. xfs supports Type1 fonts. Do you have any other FontPath lines in your XF86Config besides the one for the font server? If not, then maybe abiword leaves the font path it dynamically adds. FontPath tcp/localhost:7100 #FontPath/usr/share/abisuite/fonts/ FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/ FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ # FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/ FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/ FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/ FontPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/ Perhaps when I upgraded xfs, it stopped working. I have no idea how to test it. Are you saying that with xfs, I shouldn't need the Load type1? Because it *definately* makes a difference. Suddenly the font menus in XEmacs work again, etc. jas.
AbiWord font issues
Hey All, I'm trying to test AbiWord, but I can't get it to start. I'm wondering if it's something to do with my X server being 4.1.0? Or if it has to do with my running a font server? Has anyone seen this problem, and gotten AbiWord to work? AbiWord could not load the following font from the X Window System display server: [-*-Times New Roman-regular-r-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*] Thanks, jas.
