Re: [expert] Blaster hits and IPCOP..what should I look for???
Kiran, Thanks for your reply, but I wanted to see an actual snip from someone's IPCOP IDS to see EXACTLY what I should look for, I've got many hits on these ports but not sure if its the blaster worn or not.

Re: [expert] Accessing ACM device -- USB Modem
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 16:18:54 -0700 From: Larry Sword <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Possibly it's looking for a "/dev/modem" in which case try making a link to the /dev/usb/acm/0 device. In the kernel doc sections see: file:/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.21/usb/ acm.txt I followed your suggestions, Larry, and created the /dev/modem directory and put in a link to /dev/usb/acm/-0. I checked through acm.txt (a very helpful file, thank you for pointing it out to me). There were some problems in /proc/bus/usb/devices -- mostly that everything for the modem pointed to "hub" instead of "acm" or "comm" or "data". I decided to reboot just to be sure my changes had propagated throughout the system. When I looked again, they had and /proc/bus/usb/devices read correctly (for all three usb devices, as a matter of fact -- it found my scanner that time as well as the external floppy disk drive and modem). Since I'm not familiar with minicom, I tried drakconnect to see if I could get any further than the last time I tried to set up a connection with it. I did. It actually found both the usb modem and the winmodem and proceeded to install and configure KPPP. However, when testing the configuration, it failed to open the modem. There were only two choices for modem in the setup -- /dev/modem and /dev/ttyACM0. It had tried /dev/modem, which failed, so I changed to /dev/ttyACM0. That also failed. I returned to my ms-win partition to write this and found Charlie's message.

Probably a module? Try KDE, do you use that? I can use KDE, but I'm mostly in Gnome because there are a couple of Gnome applets that I like a lot that only work in Gnome, whereas all the KDE utilities that I like will work in Gnome also. KPPP works in Gnome. KPPP/Setup/Device/Modem dev/usb/ttyACMO Note the "usb" I didn't see a way to add /dev/usb/ttyACM0 to the KPPP/Setup/Device/Modem list, and I almost was going to respond and say that immediately. Why I decided to return to Linux and try the two modems listed again, I can't tell you. However, when I returned to Linux, the list of modems had grown to include all kinds of devices that I'm sure are not there. There still was no /dev/usb/ttyACM0, but a device I knew was physically on the system had now shown up -- /dev/usb/acm/-0 -- and I connected. There were still a few more problems, but they were trivial once I got the system to talk to the modem and dial out. Thank you both for your responses, and especially you, Larry, for your patience in working with me on this. deedee Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] LM 9.1 and Ximian desktop
I was rather impressed by Ximian 2.0's integration of OpenOffice and other applications. I'd like to try it, but LM 9.1 is not on Ximian's list of supported distributions. Does anyone know if this is fairly easy to get up and running under LM9.1? I switched over to Gnome and ran the Ximian installation, but Galeon doesn't run and a number of OpenOffice apps are missing from the menu. Any ideas?

While the cups server is running, the problem is that the Cups web interface

You can set your $HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network to whatever you want and then set a different name in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. You get to have your hostname of choice and your internet works. On Sat, 2003-08-16 at 14:45, Rolf Pedersen wrote: > James T.

[expert] Cups web interface files missing
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Greetings:
I am trying to setup a Cups print server using Mandrake 9.1.
I installed 9.1 from CD's without any additional packages and installed Cups
using the urpmi command "urpmi cups".
While the cups server is running, the problem is that the Cups web interface
files at "/usr/share/doc/cups" are not installed, so there is no access to
the print server using "http://server:631";.
I have reinstalled cups a few times ("rpm -e cups; urpmi cups") and still
there are no files at "/usr/share/doc/cups".
The strange thing is this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cups]# rpm -qf /usr/share/doc/cups/index.html
cups-1.1.19-1.1mdk
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cups]# ls -la /usr/share/doc/cups/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x4 root root 4096 Aug 16 14:29 ./
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Aug 16 14:29 ../
drwxr-xr-x2 root root 4096 May 28 16:15 de/

What am I missing here? Any help woul be appreciated. TIA.

Re: [expert] decoding a VBR mp3
> Hey, a Kiss fan?! Me too! My cousin and I saw the "final" (reunited with > Peter) tour in Louisville a couple of years ago. Awesome stuff! Kinda sorta. I had friends who were into it, I haven't listened to them since vinyl days, but it brings back memories. I have a couple of kiss cd's - one unplugged that is rather nice, and 'kiss my ass' featuring covers of different people (garth brooks etc.) doing the songs. That one is pretty good, and there are some interesting variants, including a 6/8 time rendition of "rock and roll all nite" that actually sounds better than the original version (in 4/4 time). led zep is like that too - encomium features a number of new rock artists playing classic LZ. It features probably the wierdest rendition of "custard pie" I've ever heard :). Plus last weekend I ripped dread zezpelin - now that's really weird. kinda reggae / dance music versions :). > > Umm, its 70 mins for audio, right? I use Gcombusts screen to tell how many WAV Yeah, 74 but kiss alive ii fit just fine on a 74 min. Bet the cd version is marketed as a 2 disk version though. What a ripoff :(. One can supposedly calculate the required size from the wav file size, of course, so awk (probably) to the rescue ;). A little aside - if file would just say "this is a 44.1khz file that is so many mins and seconds' or another quickie tool, that would be a good thing. Otherwise I could hover the mouse on an mp3 in konqueror and get the timings. But that's not always the case. I guess I'll have to give gcombust another try. My experience hasn't been all that successful for the type of stuff (namely, other than 44.1khz stereo mp3s) I've been putting on CDs. /\ > Dark>Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] MP3 to Wave
> If your burning it to CD try EcliptRoaster (eroaster) it should do what > you want. Hmm. I have not yet tried that. Here's what I've tried, mpg123 | sox - well, OK, but harder to automate, but only really proven way to ensure that what you have at the end of a conversion is really a 44.1k AIFF WAV suitable for burning. That's important especially if you have (as I do) a number of MP3s in 22050 mono or what have you. Specif- ically, I'm doing a number of CBSRMT radio show mp3s to CDs, and these shows are ca. 45 minutes long, so if your WAV files aren't in the 450 meg or so range, something is amiss and you'll end up with a CD of high pitched voices, like playing a 3 3/4 ips tape at 7 1/2 ips :). k3b - OK at the conversion step, dismal at the burn step. Often the thing segfaults in the middle of the burn and I end up with a locked drive, only seemingly way to rectify this is to reboot. Net result, of course, is a coaster. cdbakeoven -- Seemingly OK in the burn step. Conversion step not OK, they haven't done it right. I end up with data files on the CD, and net result is a coaster with wonderful white noise. Otherwise, I get the wrong size WAV as described above. Very nice looking interface. I have 2.0beta source but haven't been able to compile it yet. xcdroast - didn't like it, don't use it. cdrecord - well great at burning the CD, what can I say :) gcombust - not too terribly useful for mp3s. The one time I tried it, even after ensuring I was making an audio cd and not a data cd, it wrote mp3s to the cd as mp3s, no conversion needed ;). Good so far for data cds, and maybe i'll try burning a cd's worth of mp3s with it if I get that sony portable that can play mp3 cd's as well as music cd's :). xmms-diskwriter: well this will do the job of mp3 to wav conversion when others fail - specifically VBR encoded files. I had mpg123, mplayer and lame --decode all fail with segmentation faults/core dump when I was trying to do this last night. Very easy to use, just select the diskwriter plugin, path etc., then select the files you want, and it puts WAVs in the directory, then run cdrecord. Downside - doesn't know that it needs to resample 22050 mono to 44100 stereo - I just tried that with a file this morning. mplayer - well dumpstream is an option but it doesn't do any conversion, just seems to end up with a stream dump file in the same format as the original. It also segfaulted when presented with a VBR mp3. I got a number of spare cdrs so maybe I'll try eroaster :). Magnus writes; > > I know this is a little bit of topic but can anyone recommend a good=20 > > program that converts MP3 to Wave with really nice quality ? Well I am not sure what is meant by 'really nice quality' since the wav can only be as good as the original mp3. For most serious conversion, I use a mpg123 pipeline to sox, and ensure that all the rates, channels are set up for the input as well as output formats. OK for one at a time deals but a bit harder to automate because the filenames are usually long with lots of saces like 'foo fighers 1 of 14 something song.mp3 :) > Kiran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> David E.

Re: [expert] Installed cable --> now host = HWaddr of NIC
Try adding a DHCP_HOSTNAME= entry to the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file with the hostname Comcast is providing you. The ifup script will send this when it does the DHCP negotiation instead of the hostname you've selected for your machine.
