I use alsamixer and mic works, I can use it with gnomemeeting for example.

Command arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav a.wav

does record a file a.wav but that does not contain any recorded-sound, it's
an empty wav file.

Thank you

arecord ?

[Florentin Ionescu]

I have an ISA card CS4236, using ALSA driver-latest one,  which otherwise works
fine, the microphone does work fine, but can't make any sound-recording program
to work with it - ecasound, arecord.

Both programs generate output, programs end recording fine, but no sound
is recorded.

Is there some sort of setting order sound-record to work ?

Thank you.

Re: Unable to mount cdroms in linux 2.6.3

[Florentin Ionescu]

Appending "hdx=cdrom" for 2.6.x does recognize the cdrom - but
CD burning fails, also when I tried to play a CD in xmms failed,
both with an IO error.

Cheers.

Read /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup.gz  and
http://programming.linux.com/article.pl?sid=03/12/09/1341236.

There was also a thread last week on this subject.

I have a 2.6.2 kernel - and looking into these solution  I made cdrom symlink
to hdc ,pass " hdc=cdrom " at boot time and cdrecord apparently works only if
I give dev=/dev/cdrom which is unsupported(?) :



Now, can anybody please explain me who is reading the file "/etc/modutils/cdrw"?

If my understandig is correct, /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup.gz
CDR_DEVICE should give the device name if set in file /etc/default/cdrecord.

The problem is dev=/dev/hdc  and dev=/dev/cdrom give diffrent
results(device [0,0,0] and [1,0,0])- haw can be so ? What exactly should I set
in /etc/default/cdrecord ?

-
ls -l /dev/cdrom
/dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
-
cdrecord -scanbus dev=/dev/cdrom
scsidev: '/dev/cdrom'

I used boot options "psmouse_noext=1 psmouse_rate=60 psmouse_resolution=200"
which does work.
The problem is that synaptic touch-pad on my Presario

Haw do you compile with undel ? I installed e2undel,e2fslibs,

I used
apt-get build-dep mc
apt-get source -b mc

Can you please tell me the output from  ldd `which mc ` ?

mc compilation

[Florentin Ionescu]

I am trying to compile mc with ext2undel - apparently  default configuration
does not include ext2 undelete feature.

Now, file "/usr/include/linux/ext2_fs.h" does exist, and I also installed
e2fslibs, e2fslibs-dev in order to use option "--with-ext2undel=/usr/lib/libext2fs.a"
for mc compilation but, the result is same -
...
checking linux/ext2_fs.h usability... no
checking linux/ext2_fs.h presence... no
checking for linux/ext2_fs.h... no
configure: not using ext2fs file recovery code
...

Can anybody point me what exactly does mc require in order to include this
feature ?

Thank you,
Florentin

Re: "Red Hat recommends Windows for consumers"

[Florentin Ionescu]

PCMCIA module for LinkSys card on my laptop (2.4.22-ac4 kernel) and
modules that can _not_ be un-loaded (like smbfs mount if you disconnect
:-) ) made me reboot too - but - my understanding is that in 2.6x
kernel you can force to unload kernel modules.

Cheers,
 Florentin.

Re: Unstable/Java/Mozilla

[Florentin Ionescu]

There is blackdown java compiled with gcc3.2 - but there is no debian
package AFAIK and that should solve the problem.

ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/java-linux/
JDK-1.4.1/i386/01/j2re-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin

JDK-1.4.1/i386/01/j2sdk-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin

Now from my previous experience, if you use update-alternative command
you can set java and javac but my question is haw do you inform the
system that you do _have_ an JRE otherwise is trying to intall
kaffe,etc ?

Re: USB external modems

[Florentin Ionescu]

On my Compaq Presario (and by the way, I do not advise _anybody_ to
buy it ...! ) winmodem does work. There is a winmodem HOWTO and also check
for your model on line at www.linux-laptop.net - the chances are that
somebody already published a solution.

Re: UML Modeling w/o Rational Rose

[Florentin Ionescu]

I found dia to be _much_ easier and practical to use, as opposed to Rational -
don't miss dia2code which does a decent job.

There is another tool called ToghetherJ - but AFAIK and used them, both Rational
or Toghether do not handle well C++ but java.

Re: [Announce] 1.0.0-4 .debs for i386

[Florentin Ionescu]

Is this a bug please ? How exactly is openoffice to be installed ?
I have dpkg -s libgcc => Version: 1:3.0.4-7 installed
and on the other hand
apt-get instll openoffice.org =>
 openoffice.org: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:3.1) but 1:3.0.4-7  \
 is to be installed

Is there any way around this on woody ?

Thank you,

Re: getting AC97 sound to work under debian 3.0Z

[Florentin Ionescu]

For sound blaster live, this is how I made it work :
 - install module (i.e emu10k1 for me) -> check does dmesg shows that sound
   module is load
 - add profile to audio group
 - in /etc/modules put module (i.e emu10k1)  before sound .

Hope that helps,
Floretin.

woody vs unstable

[Florentin Ionescu]

Can anybody please clarify for me - is "woody" identical with
"testing"  or "unstable" ?

If woody is not identical with unstable can anybody please
paste to me the correct lines for "unstable" from sources.list ?

Thank you,

Re: PINE

[florentin ionescu]

Downloiad the recent version of pine 4.33, APPLY the pathces(check main page 
at UW for pine, are somewhere at top.) I found that at least 2 of them must 
be applied all.patch and time.patch I think

Run ./build lnx.
If still have problems, identify the file-problem and input at top something 
like "#include  "


Hope that helped,

This may help someone compiling Pine...
The Pine people confirmed it as a known problem and said it would be
fixed next release.

Subject: "build lnp" sys/time.h problem

Hi,

Here is what I have...
Pine 4.33
libc6: glibc-2.2.3
gcc: gcc-2.95.4
on a Debian "testing/unstable" system (a.k.a. Woody/Sid)

Here is what I saw (close enough)...
in tz_sv4.c, function rfc822_timezone, line 30:
tzname undeclared, daylight undeclared,
dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

The last line was common to all the time.h related errors that came up
when these where compiling:
imap/src/osdep/unix/{os_lnx.c,news.c,phile.c}

I also "fixed" mh.c and mx.c, just 'cause they were probably next.

The fix was s!sys/time.h!time.h!
pointed out by a note in the sys/time.h file provided by libc6.

Re: "man" command made easy? ->vim

"Actually, I'm not 100% sure that vim supports backreferences

Vim does support backreferences, "h: regex" will give more details.There was 
a recent talk on 
e-mail-list(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/19141)

about the small diferences between perl regex and vim regex.

Re: XFree86 4.0.3 configuration (and autoviewing HTML mail in mutt)

[florentin ionescu]

Thanks for help.

What happend is that XF86Setup and xf86config failed to produce a usable 
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file necesar for the XFree 4xx version server.
Using "XFree86 -cofigure" is the way to do it, and than, thanks to BeckJ! , 
I edited resulted file and made minimal changes.

Yeah, it is no fun when your preferred MUA can't be used.  See below

anymore (except when quoting is totally hosed and I can't tell who said
what).

Actually, pine is a console MUA (last time I checked) so you don't
need X to use it (FYI).

Bek:

I see that you are using mutt.  Someone else gave me this clue, and it
works great!

 ~/.mailcap
text/plain;  less %s; nametemplate=%s.text; copiousoutput
text/html;   lynx -dump %s; nametemplate=%s.html; copiousoutput

 ~/.mime.types
text/plain  text txt
text/html   html htm

 ~/.muttrc
# some people insist on using HTML mail
# this will automatically convert HTML to Plain Test (via settings in
# ~/.mailcap and ~/.mime.types)
auto_view  text/html

# This tells mutt which MIME type to preferr to show, if both are in a
# message
alternative_order text/plain text/html


I am running this on my school's Solaris 8 system where my mail is
received.  They only have 'lynx', not 'links', but the latter will
probably give better looking output (especially if tables, etc, are
used because lynx doesn't support tables).

Florentin:

I recommend backing up your XF86Config file from 3.3.6 first
(hopefully it's not too late for you).  Then use your favorite text
editor to tweak the version 4 config file to include the options you
had with the old version.  This worked quite well for me (diff. card
though).

HTH,

Hello ,

I upgraded to Woody/Testing and implicit to XFree86 4.xx.  Now, my problem 
is that I can't configure the  XF86Config anymore.(ATI Xpert98 video card, I 
never had problem with it before.)


The file XF86Config-4 I generated with "XFree86 -configure" (because the one 
generated with XF86Setup, didn't work at all) and it does starts the X 
server but is completly dead after.


Can anybody please help ?
