[gentoo-user] [OT] suggestion for recombining audio with video
Hi all, recently I've been doing some better recordings (proper mic into sound system) along with my video camera. This means that I have two sources - one attached to the video, and one separate audio stream. It's not practical for me to plug the sound system into the video camera (although that would be ideal) because I move around too much, and a cable would be ... not practical :) And there are some "room noises" that the video camera picks up that a directional mic doesn't. anyway... I've just started using audacity to edit the "nice" audio, and add some simple effects, and I want to recombine that with the video, so that I have the nice audio + video. So I would require a program to do the following 1. line up video and audio from separate files 2. adjust the position of the audio frame by frame, so that I can get as-perfect-as-possible lip sync! 3. video and audio not necessarily the same length 4. mpeg or dvd compatible output 5. mix two (or more?) audio sources into one audio+video file, with some simple crossfade 6. Open software would be ideal (linux of course!), followed by closed-but-minimal-cost, followed by closed-costly-but-so-excellent-I-have-to-have-it! If there is a choice, I would prefer that the video is left as unaltered as possible by this program, to avoid going through too many conversions. I don't need any fancy editing or effects, I have other programs to do that! Any suggestions? I have been looking on google, but there are so many bad shareware programs that my results get flooded with rubbish! TIA, -- Iain Buchanan "Can you program?"

Re: [gentoo-user] SSH won't restart
The current init script will not try to restart the daemon if everything does not exit cleanly. We already know that the main process won't exit cleanly since it was manually killed. Unless you are comfortable editing the init script I would suggest: 1) Type: ps auxww |grep /usr/sbin/sshd |grep -v grep This will give you the process id of the current sshd daemon. Write it down for later use. 2) On the following page, do steps 1 and 2 (I know this article is specifically related to upgrading sshd on redhat, but these steps are the same for gentoo): http://www.hackinglinuxexposed.com/articles/20020319.html This will give you a temporary sshd server, so that we can kill off all of your old sshd process, while still giving you access to the machine. It will also make sure that there are not any configuration problems with your current sshd_config file that are preventing the daemon from starting. If this copy of sshd daemon won't start then we know the problem is a configuration error or that the binary somehow became corrupted. 3) Kill off the current sshd process from step 1 kill -TERM sshd_pid -- or -- kill -KILL sshd_pid 4) Type: /etc/init.d/sshd zap DO NOT USE the stop or restart commands - they will kill off your temporary ssh server from step 2 5) Type: /etc/init.d/sshd start 6) Try connecting to your server as you normally would. If everything is working, then your can kill off the ssh daemon running on the alternate port. If it still doesn't start then its off two round three problem solving... -Good Luck, Stephen On 9/10/07, Grant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > For Grant: > > I reread the init script for sshd, and I know see what was most likely > > the problem.

[gentoo-user] How do you handle new Xorg + nvidia + ~x86?
Howdy, Well, I had to local mask =x11-base/xorg-server-1.4-r1 =x11-base/xorg-server-1.4 =x11-base/xorg-x11-7.3 today to keep portage from blocking. My guess is that eventually a new version of nvidia-drivers will be available and a new revision of xorg-server will arrive that will support it (no longer block all versions of nvidia-drivers). Until that time will probably just keep masking xorg-server and hope I remember to unmask xorg-x11 at that time. This seems inelegant. So I'm hoping someone has a better approach.

Given that, do you still think restarting is the way to go? I'm just trying to make sure I don't restart and still not have access. That would be bad because there is a crucial daemon running now that won't come up automatically. Please tell me what you think. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] SSH won't restart
Yes, accessing the machine via telnet over an encrypted VPN connection
is a safe way to access the box, but given the setup that Grant was
describing it did not sound like he had a encrypted VPN setup to
telnet over.
I also agree that having a secondary way of accessing the box, that is
secure, is an important factor when updating a remote server (whether
that be another encrypted connection or people you can contact locally
in the data center). Other people had already suggested starting a
copy of the server manually on the a different port.
For Grant:
I reread the init script for sshd, and I know see what was most likely
the problem. The init script, now, tries to kill all instances with
the process name of sshd, not just the daemon (as specified by the pid
file). This is why you were locked out when trying to restart the
daemon. If you can restart the machine, everything should be working
fine after a reboot. This behavior differs from every other distro of
linux that I have used, and with previous versions of the init script.
Sorry I missed that before emailing the list last time.
Complete Side Note:
Does anyone know where to issue a bug report to try to have this
behavior changed. The correct (and more widely) seen behavior of
restart for sshd should be something similar to:
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry 30 --pidfile "${SSHD_PIDFILE}"

Re: [gentoo-user] SSH won't restart
I think that there may be something significantly wrong with your box (or configuration of sshd). I have never had a server disconnect an active connection when killing the ssh daemon. If there is someone that you can contact in the data center I would ask them to: 1) Backup your current sshd_config file 2) Restore the default sshd_config on the box, and then try restart the daemon Are there any other applications that are not behaving correctly? -Stephen On 9/10/07, Grant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes.

If there's a problem with ssh, then you're pretty much stuck with using other remote terminal tool to fix it, else, you can simply kill the process, delete the PID file, then "/etc/init.d/sshd zap" and "/etc/init.d/sshd restart", or "start", anyway...

Thank you but doesn't it look like there must be a problem that is
preventing my sshd from starting? Won't '/usr/bin/sshd -p 3' just
fail, or is that more likely to work than '/etc/init.d/sshd start'?
Also, is '/usr/bin/sshd' sufficient? Why not port 22?

Re: [gentoo-user] SSH won't restart
Killing the ssh daemon does not effect any of the existing connections. The ssh daemon is used to listen for new connections and create a process to handle communications with that request. That is why when you update configuration parameters for sshd, they do not take effect until the next connection. The problem with connecting to the server via telnet is that your password can be easily intercepted - which is one of the major reasons telnet has been depreciated. -Stephen On 9/10/07, Arturo 'Buanzo' Busleiman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA512 > > Grant wrote: > > Should I: > > kill -9 2988 && /etc/init.d/sshd start > > Are you sure? :) > > Sounds scary to kill sshd remotely, specially over ssh :P > > That's why I usually have a telnet server up during ssh upgrade times. > > > - -- > Arturo "Buanzo" Busleiman - Consultor Independiente en Seguridad Informatica > Servicios Ofrecidos: http://www.buanzo.com.ar/pro/ > Unase a los Foros GNU/Buanzo - La palabra Comunidad en su maxima expresion. > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFG5Yd+AlpOsGhXcE0RCqCvAJ46Spe77Qukj5oYjCAtBK4lO0cZ4QCcCm24 > U/zSADTHUKzZZ/G2dkZZkbo= > =5uQv > -END PGP SIGNATURE- > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] keyboard layout
I had a few problems with an update of Xorg over the weekend which I have sorted out, however I've been left with one niggle. The keyboard layout isn't being recognized. I have a laptop with a British keyboard layout The xorg.conf has the following: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "uk" EndSection This used to work fine, but now it's not working I'm using xorg-server-1.3.0.0 Any suggestions as to why it's ignoring the .conf?

Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg.conf changes and dual screen setup
I have tested xrandr but it is useless for me! I tried various things but neither of them seem to have any effect on my secondary screen. I can only change the configuration of my primary monitor. Disabling randr in xorg conf has no effect too. Does anybody know what changes have to be done in the xorg configuration to get it working again! Unfortunately there is documentation at http://www.x.org/wiki/. The man pages of randr and xorg.conf also give no hints. At least i have found nothing until now.

Hi! Before upgading to xorg-x11-7.3 I have (successfully) used this xorg.conf/kbd section option Option "XkbOptions""grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" to indicate which kbd layout is in use. Now the led is always off. Even "Num Lock" swithing doesn't influence to an (another) appropriate led, which is always off also (but switching itself works, as is for layout switching is).

This process is the ssh daemon: root 2988 1 0 Sep04 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd Two things: before killing the process with the KILL signal, I would try killing it with TERM kill -TERM 2988 If that doesn't work then kill the process with the KILL signal. I would also use: /etc/init.d/sshd restart This will give the init script a chance to do some cleanup work before restarting -Best of Luck, Stephen On 9/10/07, Grant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just upgraded ssh and when I try to restart I get: > > > > * Stopping sshd ...

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo 2007.0 installer problem (unpacking the stage tarball takes forever)
True, but my point is that when you need to have a workstation ready as soon as possible and you are not a linux expert (again, my case) it would be advisable to use an installer. Anyway, if you look at my previous post you will see that i tried the minimal CD and fail miserably, maybe ill re-post that error on a new thread with a more accurate subject. 2007/9/10, Randy Barlow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Rafael Barrera Oro wrote: > > However, when you are not a linux expert and want to > > set-up a gentoo workstation fast (my case) i think it would be > > convenient to use a graphical installer and then, with time get to know > > the basic install and all the concepts behind it. > > I would argue that you can much more efficiently learn Linux and Gentoo > by going through the install process by hand rather than using a > graphical installer.

I would argue that you can much more efficiently learn Linux and Gentoo by going through the install process by hand rather than using a graphical installer.

Thanks for your answer, i will try if i can get it working like this but randr doesn't seem to work on the secondary device. I have heard that nvidia cards doesn't support randr 1.2 so i will give it a try with randr disabled in my configuration. One thing is that i want the two screens (where i can move between with the mouse) avaialable not only one. I would also prefer a solution which works with the xorg configuration file.
