[expert] Linux Multimedia Resources
What's available for Linux Multimedia resources? By that I mean email lists, books, and websites. My interests are in mostly audio right now, but I am trying to get my sweetie to get me a digital movie camera for Christmas, so that might change. I would love to understand the details of the differences between oggs and mp3, I would love to find out about noise filtering and ID3v1 vs ID3v2, and converting between them. How about other tools than Audacity and Gramofile? Or maybe this tells me to just stay here, and ask away. Rob -- Linux: For the people, by the people.

[expert] vmware host-only networking and smb.conf
Hi, I think my problems with getting my home network set up under 9.1 look like they are related to setting up samba after enabling host-only networking with vmware. This time with 9.2 I set up the networking and it was working great (well almost) until I started fudging round with it trying to get vmware host-only networking going. Has anyone got this working? The idea is to get samba access to my home network and also have host-only networking going with my windoze guest in vmware. They say this is possible but one needs to go into smb.conf and play around. I went in and tried a few things but my conf file was considerably different to their example one and I don't really know what is absolutely necessary and what is not. If anyone has got this working, or has an alternate solution could they post their smb.conf file, or instructions to do otherwise?

I see you got your solution, but if anyone else can't get it to stop that way: The issue with firebird is even worse: there's some sort of google search that i couldn't seem to turn off. And when i did 127.0.0.1, i got the same, which i couldn't figure out. Or does the /etc/hosts file work both ways: 127.0.0.1 turns into localhost? Anyway, my solution was to run webmin on bootup. This way, when you try to go to webmin, since that port is already running, firebird didn't try to search any further... eric -- Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Middle click, ctrl-v, and paste button in application do not work. I think the problem is not the amount of text: it is the EOF marker that is presumably at the end of the file. If that is included (e.g. via ctrl-a), the buffer will not pick it up properly. At least that is what my experimenting is indicating thus far.

OTOH, as the syntax of the config file is so absurdly simple and englishlike, it is trivial for the root user to add servers and username/password pairs to /etc/fetchmailrc to accomplish essentially the same thing. At that one process runs as root, root is the only user that can do this.

Complain to Eric Raymond, then. He has provided an app that can be run as a daemon for system-wide mail retrieval *and/or* as a user job for a more individualized approach, but you just can't please everyone, it seems. :) Were you so inclined, you could cobble together a script that looked into each homedir for a .fetchmailrc file, and either invoked a single copy of fetchmail using each found file (i.e. doing a single poll), then loop, or alternatively, copied the "poll" and "user" lines from said files into the /etc/fetchmailrc file being used by the daemon (as the daemon can tell when that file has changed since the last poll, and will auto-reload it).

I think Greg is correct, if it's in different windows. I'm a kde man, but in various circumstances, either online or off in file manager or kde browser, sometimes c/p works with right click c/p, and not with middle click, or vice versa. Usually I just clear klipper, and that fixes it. Or maybe I'm mistaken. I've just edited klipperrc to hold 50 items, so I'll find out if that delays the problem. Maybe kde developers don't realize many people like to save so many items in the buffer? Damon- I don't understand why the subject of your post is about KDE, if you use Gnome?

Oscar, If you have a standard MDK install with sources, the kernel .config file is found in /usr/src/linux-. MDK kernels are heavily patched. You can't just take that file, and apply it to other kernels. You would have to decipher the source directory, and find all the patches Mandrake includes in the kernels they issue. But you don't have to do that- you can compile other kernels from source as user in a home directory with Mandrake, using your own config file, and your own patches, if desired. Mandrake includes all the patches in it's source when it releases a new kernel, so it's not really practical to try and copy that. You would have to find all the patch If you wish to experiment with other kernels, just do it in completely separate directories in a created /home/user/kernels/, from raw non-rpm source, where it never interacts with the stock Mandrake installed kernel, and system. That way, you never have to worry about not being able to boot if you mess up. I'm not really clear on what you are asking. Please tell us what your objective is, and people will certainly offer many helpful options, and clarify the process. Robert Crawford Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The traditional unix way by highlighting text and then middle clicking where you want it, and the windows way, where you use ctrl-c and ctrl-v to do the job. Consequently there are two different buffers you are using. Every time I have had trouble pasting something with ctrl-v, as in your example, something else unexpected, it turned out that I had some text highlighted somewhere else that caused the trouble. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I've little experience with Gnome, and have been on Gentoo for 3 months, waiting for MDK9.2 to get it together. But I do know Mandrake and KDE very well. Are you using 9.1? Was there always this problem, or did it suddenly occur? What's the Gnome equivalent to kde klipper? Does c/p failure occur when using another window manager? If so, what I would try with an RPM distro, is remove Gnome while in init 3 or another environment like kde, reboot to init 3 or kde, and then reinstall Gnome. With kde, when you do stuff like that, you always rename your ~/.kde folder first to kde.old, so you can replace your mail, and konqueror settings. However, investigate everything else first, before taking that drastic step. We need a Gnome expert to chime in here about the c/p problem! Two other tips for non-command line experts linux types who run into serious problems (myself included): 1. If drive room permits, always install kde AND Gnome, so you can repair and investigate things easier with a GUI. 2. Get a Knoppix cd, and learn how to use it as a rescue boot disk, with it's kde environment. I did my Gentoo install with this, and have bailed out of several seeming impossible situtations for a command line amateur! (Of course, for experts, it would have been easy at a CLI, if you had the background and required knowledge). Robert Crawford Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Where can I get mandrake precompiled kernels .config files?
Hi everybody! I'm new to _this_ distribution of Linux. I would like to know where can I get the .config files used to compile the precompiled kernels Mandrake includes. I got one kernel-source-.rpm, and tried to compile it, but I got some problems. I don't know if this kernel was actually configurated like the compiled kernels Mandrake includes, or it was just something else. Thanks, - Oscar Retana.

Hi Robert, I didn't know about klipper (I use Gnome), so thanks for the hint. Now I see via klipper that when I do a copy, a couple of "weird" characters are going into the clipboard: Ñ and then the square symbol. And that's it - instead of a whole screen of text. But cut works fine, and shows up in klipper. So, time for me to figure out the new bug reporting system? :) Damon Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It should be set at 25 items in history (the max), and the save contents on exit unchecked. At least that's the way I like it. I've had c/p stop working when klipper became full- when I cleared the history, all was well. Klipper is where your copied items are stored in a buffer, to be pasted later. If the buffer is full, you can't copy anything else to it. I'd like to know how to get the "25 item" limit increased. (OK- just found it- /home/ wrc/.kde3.1/share/config/klipperrc). However, your copy/paste problem might be something else. Robert Crawford Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] I need to Port Foward 443 internally
There's two ways of doing it simply
If your using a firewall you can use DNAT or another simpler way is to
use the redirect function in xinetd, something like below
service ipnode
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/telnetd
redirect= 44.131.90.2 3694
server_args = -a none
log_on_failure += USERID
}
you'll need to change the server and change the service name..
MAKE SURE it matches the service name in /etc/services

I just ordered an IBM T41 but replaced the Intel WiFi card with a Cisco Aironet which is supported in 9.2. As I shopped around, it looked like the only real choice in an AMD laptop was HP. As I am not entirely happy with their **on the fence** support of SCO, I had a hard time buying an HP machine. That, on top of the fact that Intel got it right with the Pentium M, and that IBM had a wireless alternative and they actually had documents on their own website about installing Linux on the thing made my choice pretty clear. The keyboard light sealed the deal. Dell doesn't have a wireless option that has linux support, not to mention they don't support AMD and give lip service to Linux. I understand that they get massive discounts from Intel and Microsoft for maintaining their exclusivity, but that doesn't mean I have to buy it just because it is cheaper. Also, Dell just looks cheaper, but when you really price it out with all the options, a comparable D600 to the T41 was the same price. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
