Or is there another and different application called Krecord? However, I must clearly try the Gnome program, and I want to try Jaunty, and I assume that the Gnome recorder will be available in Jaunty. So I am trying 2 things at once, have downloaded and burnt the Jaunty AMD64 iso and am about to install it on a spare partition on my recently acquired testbed machine. I'll keep my fingers crossed. If Doze recorder can only keep going for a few minutes, it wouldn't be much use anyway. Lisi Lisi, Krec and Krecord are different programs: http://packages.debian.org/etch/krecord http://packages.debian.org/etch/krec I did a quick search on the debian website and it looks as if krecord is only available for etch. It's therefore unlikely to be available in Ubuntu 9.04.

I'll try that next if what I am doing at the moment does not work well enough. I can install Etch in the free space on the HDD and look at KRecord.

I did in fact try to install gnome-sound-recorder, but it appears not to be in the repositories for either PCLinuxOS or Lenny. Still, if it would definitely be useful, I'll try to find the tar-ball and install it that way. (I was getting very discouraged. :-( Getting the microphone going had been a nightmare of impenetrable jargon.) But I had _much_ rather do it in Linux.

In these versions, pulseaudio sound server is used and I do not think that audacity works with that yet in those versions. However, ubuntu 9.04 works out of the box almost, with gnome sound recorder. I think I had to set the mixer options to include Mix and record Mix, and I think I needed to do that with 8.04.2 also, but in 8.04.2 the gnome sound recorder record level does not indicate, it records ok though. I record some bbc radio 7 stuff sometimes. -- alan cocks Ubuntu user #10391 Linux user #360648 -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Re: [Hampshire] A sad day for me (and Tux??). A good day for Bill?
Lisi I got gnome sound recorder included in ubuntu 8.04) going with no expertise on my part, and captures bbc fine. Having said that, I recently stuffed it either during an update or later, when adding kde to the mix. I live in the hope of resurrecting it at the LUG meet on Sat! XP seems to record for just one minute on its default sound recorder, which is hardly enough time to utter 'I wonder if anyone is interested in a job ...'
