Re: [expert] Good audio recording program?
Just a thought, as I never recorded through arts, have you enabled full duplex operation in the kde control center-sound-sound server-sound I/O tab? I think you need to do this to play and record at the same time in arts. I'm assuming that your artsdsp rec output.wavcommand was run while you where playing something using real player. Try something simple first, like recording a CD track. Click the red LED under the CD slider in kmix, play a CD using kscd (or whatever), then try artsdsp rec output.wav. What do you get? (I've also never used rec, so I don't know if your syntax is correct. krecord is your friend :) Note that if you have set arts to full duplex mode, it will never release /dev/dsp so you will *have* to use arts for all sound I/O. If you turn off full duplex and wait for arts to disconnect (60secs by default?) the you can try the same as above but just use rec output.wav. Now what do you get? Don't miss-spell and cause a konsole beep, since arts will reconnect for the beep and you'll have to wait 60secs again. Nick. D. R. Evans wrote: I remember way back in LM 7.0 getting sound to work using sox without any trouble.

They are CLEARLY extant right where they are supposed to be but the kernel complains that they do not exist when trying to start pcmcia! Gee-aaw!

Re: [expert] Good audio recording program?
Le Vendredi 25 Janvier 2002 05:56, vous avez écrit : Thanks for the recommendations for programs to record audio. So far (about three hours) I can't get any of them to work, but I'll keep on trying. mpegrec (in its wavrec guise) looked like it was oging to work, but it never actually wrote anything to disk. The others just entirely killed sound that had previously worked. The Linux sound HOWTO just says (basically) to copy /dev/audio or /dev/dsp, but neither of those do anything useful at all :-( I guess that my embarrassingly simple question isn't really embarrassingly simple at all. Everything else to do with sound seems to work fine (I can play CDs, listen to WAV or MP3 files or grab RealAudio off the Web). So I'm sure it isn't anything silly like a fundamental configuration problem. It may, of course, be a fundamental lack of understanding problem :-) I remember way back in LM 7.0 getting sound to work using sox without any trouble. But things are obviously more complicated these days. artsdsp rec output.wav produces a file with a WAV header, but nothing else.

[expert] How to get mod_frontpage working!!!
Ok here is what I had to do to get the frontpage extensions working. 1. Change apache uid and gid to 101 (they have to be above 100) 2. Chown any directories that didn't get changed properly. 3. Merge commonhttpd.conf and httpd.conf (insert all the lines of commonhttpd.conf into httpd.conf at the line that says Include conf/commonhttpd.conf then either comment the line out or delete it. 4. Set the ServerName to the full URL #ServerName localhost Change to ServerName www.server.net 5. Change the lines #BindAddress * IfDefine !APACHEPROXIED Port 80 Listen 80 /IfDefine IfDefine APACHEPROXIED Port 8080 Listen 8080 /IfDefine Change to #BindAddress * Port 80 Listen 80 6. extract fp40.linux.tar.gz into /usr/local 7. run /usr/local/frontpage/version4.0/bin/fpsrvadm.exe as per the directions on the mod_frontpage site.

Re: [expert] Post install oddity
Further clarification. I had forgotten that I'd used MandrakeUpdate to pull and install the latest security fixes. This includes a new kernel (2.4.8-34). Unfortiunately it looks as if the install of the kernel RPM has screwed things up. The previous kernel (still running) is 2.4.8-26, but the 2.4.8-26.1mdk directory in /lib/modules has disappeared. A reboot would seem the obvious answer, but /boot/initrd.img is now a link to a non-existent initrd-2.4.8-26mdk.img and there is no equivalent file for the new version. Which means I daren't reboot. I am about to try a forced install of the pervious kernel version (having to download the rpm from a mirror). But there would appear to be a basic problem with the kernel rpm (unless I'm missing something very obvious), which is that it only seems to do half the work and leaves the system in a somewhat flakey state. Am I missing something? I'm trying to fit all this in between teaching classes, so I rarely get more than a few minutes to think about it at a time, so if I am missing something incredibly obvious, please someone put me out of my misery and everybody else accept my apologies... -- |Deryk Barker, Computer Science Dept. | Music does not have to be understood| |Camosun College, Victoria, BC, Canada| It has to be listened to. | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |phone: +1 250 370 4452 | Hermann Scherchen. | Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] keyboard mapping hell - (PPC)
hi, if anyone can help, please do. I somehow toasted my keyboard settings (i think by trying to switch to Dvorak in MDK Control Center). i recovered a copy of /etc/sysconfig/keyboard from a time before this problem started, but the problem didn't go away. (!) (I'm not sure if this is the case, but it seems like a PPC distro shouldn't even include keymaps for x86? Just a crazy idea. Maybe some automatic detection could avoid ever installing inappropriate layouts for the machine. I've had this problem with both MDK and SuSE -- everything's fine with the keyboard until you try to change the mapping in a control center for the system or desktop.) So somehow, my keys are mostly OK under X (edited my XF86Config-4). I can switch to text consoles (ctrl-command-Fx), but then once there, the keymap is all wrong, I can't switch back to X or log in, the only option is a hard reset. here is the vital info: Powerbook G4 MDK 8.0 updated with many things from the Cooker. kernel: 2.4.16.6mdk-1-1mdk thanks, -i Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Sound working - and kernel 2.4.17

The first is that I downloaded the source tarball from kernel.org and configured and built that, with the solo1 driver built into the kernel as described above. Sound works.

I'm pretty sure they are but I am rebuilding it now. Another caveat involves a host of non-fatal errors upon boot, which I also noticed on the mandrake 2.4.17 kernels when I tried them. First is: Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent AND I get a hundred or so entries in my /var/log/messages thus: clm-6005: writing inode 53605 on readonly FS. Finally, kernel-2.4.17 appears to have a problem wth kudzu. Kudzu fails to run on boot and the /var/log/messages specifies that it failed and that it should be run by hand. Assuming the 2.4.17 kernel I am presently building works with regards to networking (and doesn't give me the sit0 error message mentioned above), I will use the kernel config file I used to make it with the mandrake 2.4.17 kernel...and just add settings for the grsec security settings, leaving the rest as is.

Re: [expert] Confirmed dead 2.4.27.8
The reason I have resisted straight kernel.org kernels (up to now) is that the mandrake kernels integrate more features than the simple kernels...like the grsec settings in 2.4.17 that are not there in the kernel.org kernel. There are other niceties too. As for kernel-2.3.13, I had a working Mandrake 2.4.13, not a simple kernel.org kernel. I lost it, however, when I accidently trashed my system a couple days ago and had to reinstall 8.1 from scratch. I am trying a straight kernel.org 2.4.17 kernel, mostly with success, but am still fiddling with settings to clean it up. praedor --- mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: did you look here? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ it has kernel 2.4.13 Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] floppy access in 8.1
Is it just me, or is floppy disk usage under Linux an unadulterated pain in the ass? I'm really not a newbie, but I can't get it done. I've formatted it with Gnome Floppy, with a Linux Native (ext2) file system. It formats successfully, and then I try to mount it as follows: mount /mnt/floppy and I get this message: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems. I've run mke2fs on it, to make sure that the disk has the correct file system. That seems to work. I've checked my fstab file, and the floppy entry looks like this: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 I don't know alot about this, but from what I've read, this seems like a perfectly valid fstab entry for my floppy drive. The drive works properly under Windows, and in fact, it seems that I have this problem with numerous different Linux computers. I must be doing something wrong, and I won't be surprised if it's simple and obvious, but I can't figure it out. Please help. Doug Gough Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Sound working - and kernel 2.4.17
Well, it is a laptop so the hardware doesn't really change beyond pcmcia cards or, perhaps, usb devices. However, one thing that consistently was happening with my system when going from 2.4.8 to 2.4.17 was kudzu would come up and re-identify my soundcard, wanting to remove the previous settings from 2.4.8. It still identified it as an ESS Solo1 (es1938) but would do something with the settings. Also, I do not have access to my desktop right now...several states away...and I would like to testdrive stuff on my laptop before I give it a go on my desktop. Problems with kudzu here may indicate that there will be problems on my desktop if I go to 2.4.17 there too. I can now turn it off on my laptop but what about desktop systems?

Re: [expert] Sound working - and kernel 2.4.17
Success! I now have 2.4.17 up and running with sound, with a working net connection, with wireless networking support. I still get error messages as previously described - I can put an end to the kudzu error message by disabling it...though this would not be the best option for a desktop system. My next move will be to try to get the current kernel config I successfully used with the basic 2.4.17 kernel with the mandrake 2.4.17.8 kernel. I still want the security updates that it has but which isn't part of the kernel.org kernel. praedor On Friday 25 January 2002 13:47, you wrote: Hi Praedor, I'm glad to hear that you've pretty much got it all working, but I'm curious about something. Did you say that this was a laptop? If so, do you really need kudzu running? I mean, how often does the hardware configuration change on a laptop (other than maybe an external mouse being plugged in)? And you might check your /usr/src/linux/.config and ensure you've got CONFIG_PACKET=y and CONFIG_FILTER=y enabled before you recompile to get rid of those errors. Cheers, -Charlie Praedor Tempus said: Progress. I downloaded and built the source for kernel-2.4.8-34 and built the solo driver into the kernel. I commented out all the sound stuff in my modules.conf, rebooted, and viola...sound, and networking. I have also had success with kernel-2.4.17 now, with a couple caveats. The first is that I downloaded the source tarball from kernel.org and configured and built that, with the solo1 driver built into the kernel as described above. Sound works. I have a problem at the moment with my 3c589 working...the module loads fine but instead of connecting I get a wierd error message: sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 socket: protocol not available make sure CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER are enabled in your kernel. I'm pretty sure they are but I am rebuilding it now. Another caveat involves a host of non-fatal errors upon boot, which I also noticed on the mandrake 2.4.17 kernels when I tried them. First is: Unknown bridge resource 0: assuming transparent AND I get a hundred or so entries in my /var/log/messages thus: clm-6005: writing inode 53605 on readonly FS. Finally, kernel-2.4.17 appears to have a problem wth kudzu. Kudzu fails to run on boot and the /var/log/messages specifies that it failed and that it should be run by hand. Assuming the 2.4.17 kernel I am presently building works with regards to networking (and doesn't give me the sit0 error message mentioned above), I will use the kernel config file I used to make it with the mandrake 2.4.17 kernel...and just add settings for the grsec security settings, leaving the rest as is. There is one especially nice benefit of building a kernel.org kernel that I had forgotten about (It has been a long time since I last built a straight kernel tarball) - the default settings in xconfig are OFF instead of EVERYTHING being turned on in the mandrake kernel config. This means you have to actively go through and turn specific things off rather than going down the list and turning things off. The way it works out, you end up turning on less than you would have activated by going through the mandrake default kernel config and turning things off - unless you are REALLY dilligent. The kernel you end up with is tighter/smaller, and the number of modules is a good deal less. --- James [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu, 24 Jan 2002 18:02:24 +0100 H.McM [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The only other suggestion I have is to try the 2.4.8-34 kernel from the Mandrake 81 update directory.

Don't miss-spell and cause a konsole beep, since arts will reconnect for the beep and you'll have to wait 60secs again. I get a file of non-zero length (when trying to record from a CD). When I play it back with a WAV player, I get no complaints about format or anything, but all it plays back is silence. I checked it with a Windows program that displays the actual waveform, and it agrees that the file is a valid WAV file containing silence.

RE: [expert] floppy access in 8.1
I used the Gnome floppy formatter to format the disk. I also went to another machine running mdk8.1 with KDE, and used the KDE formatter to create a ext2 floppy. Neither will mount by typing mount /mnt/floppy. However, if I use explicit commands: mount -t ext2 /dev/fdo /mnt/floppy it mounts and works fine. That sucks.. and it's great because it works. What will my Junior Highschool students do though? Well, they will probably use dos formatted floppies, so it's no big deal.

Re: [expert] Confirmed dead 2.4.27.8
Praedor Tempus wrote: OK, when I got a usable 8.1 system with kernel-2.4.8-26mdk running, I decided to try one more time with kerne-2.4.17.8. This time, instead of doing a source build I just installed the binary and rebooted. It booted up and...jus as with my own build attempts, pcmcia failed miserablely and sound was dead. What I get are several things. First, and REALLY unfortunately, with the 2.4.17 kernels it appears that pcmcia-cs is fully incorporated into the kernel. This makes fixing the pcmcia problem very difficult. First off, ALL the friggin' pcmcia modules are there where they are supposed to be but pcmcia doesn't exist in /etc/init.d so it doesn't/can't start at bootup. I built and installed pcmcia-cs-3.1.31 and then did the /etc/init.d/pcmcia start thing and the kernel complained that i82398.o and ds.o doesn't exist. I looked and they DO exist exactly where they are supposed and expected to me. They are really really there but they are invisable somehow to the 2.4.17 kernel. I have gone back to 2.4.8 and have pcmcia working as Buddha intended. 2.4.17 IS dicked up and I would like to address the very real problem with integrating pcmcia into the kernel source. I have a couple wireless lan cards. To make them work properly I need linux-wlan-ng source. Linux-wlan-ng requires pcmcia-cs sourcecode that is properly configured for your kernel/system...and it must have a pcmcia-cs-x.x.x directory of some sort with the config information in it in order to build and install. With the pcmcia incorporated into the kernel and scattered all over several different directories, it is impossible to build linux-wlan-ng. The drivers for my wireless cards in the kernel-supplied pcmcia are crippled. They do not allow for monitoring mode, instead forcing the wimply wvlan_cs module on prism2 cards that have the capability to operate in promiscuous and monitor mode. The wvlan_cs driver doesn't allow this, not on the prism2 cards and not on orinoco cards for which it is better suited. ONLY the linux-wlan-ng drivers allow this full functionality from prism2 wireless cards. Until/unless Mandrake incorporates linux-wlan-ng prism2 drivers instead of pcmcia-cs crippled prism2 drivers into their newer kernels, it will remain absolutely necessary to download, build, and install linux-wlan-ng source based on a separate pcmcia-cs source package. This is a very real problem. I suggest you forward this to cooker list and to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] floppy access in 8.1
Doug Gough [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I used the Gnome floppy formatter to format the disk. I also went to another machine running mdk8.1 with KDE, and used the KDE formatter to create a ext2 floppy. Neither will mount by typing mount /mnt/floppy. However, if I use explicit commands: mount -t ext2 /dev/fdo /mnt/floppy it mounts and works fine. That sucks.. and it's great because it works. What will my Junior Highschool students do though? Well, they will probably use dos formatted floppies, so it's no big deal. Seems like you've already noticed this, but i think the fstab entry somehow defines the floppy to have a fat filesystem - which is why you get a `wrong filesystem' error when you try mount /mnt/floppy. Also explains why it works with a dos / fat disk. I've heard that the fat filesystem is actually better than ext2 for floppies (don't know why, its just something i've heard). Is there a pressing need to use ext2? If not, why not just use fat floppies? But if you need ext2, hopefully someone can explain the changes you need to make to your fstab for ext2 to be the default. If i had to guess, i would suggest trying this in your fstab: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 user,sync,exec,noauto 0 0 BUT this is just a guess. hopefully someone can confirm this one way or the other. Maybe, if you want to use both fat and ext2, a filesystem type of `auto' instead of `ext2' would work? the mount man page has some info on that. -- Chris Spackman gpg: 9B6B 860E 7C06 787F 366F 5D3E 7152 DCB2 FC51 51B9 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
