[ilugd] Music Player

2006-06-16 Thread Silver MoonDragon
Hello,

Does anyone know of any music player which can be configured to use file names 
instead of IDv* Tags? It really irks me when most of the music players 
display songs as Track 1 etc. just because I dont want to edit the IDv3 
tags.

Re: [ilugd] how to configure

cobbled together some glyphs to say:
 how can I configure ppp on fedora 5

I would suggest you to use wvdial for ppp. To configure it, follow the 
following steps:
1) Open a terminal.
2) Become root by running 'su -'
3) Type wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf and press enter. It should detect your 
modem.
4) Type 'export DISPLAY=:0' and press enter. In another terminal, without 
becoming root, type 'xhost +', press enter and press CTRL-D to exit the 
terminal.
5) Go back to the original terminal and type 'gvim /etc/wvdial.conf' and press 
enter. Alternatively, instead of step 4 and 5, you can use a terminal editor 
if you want.
6) Edit the file and replace the place-holders with the username, password and 
phone number. Save and exit.
7) Type 'gvim /etc/sudoers' (I know some might flame me telling me to use 
'visudo' instead, but those who are new to Linux aren't really at ease with 
vi. Moreover, I've checked the following line) and press enter. At the end of 
the file, add the following line:
your-username  ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/wvdial
Replace your-username with your username.
8) Press CTRL-D to exit the terminal
9) Open any editor and paste the following into it:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
# KDE Config File
[KDE Desktop Entry]
Comment[C]=Connect to the internet through PPP
SwallowExec=

Name=wvDial

Exec=sudo /usr/bin/wvdial
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/kppp.png

Save it as wvDial.kdelnk on the Desktop.

Now, whenever you want to connect to the internet, just double-click the 
wvDial icon on the desktop.

I'll need to see your grub.conf (located at /boot/grub/menu.lst 
or /boot/grub/grub.conf). Remove the comments (lines starting with '#') 
before posting it, though.

Partly his, partly his mail client's. The mail client's because it does not 
support it, and his because he uses such a mail client. Was that the answer 
you were expecting?

Anyway, my KMail 1.7.2 on KDE 3.3.2 KNOPPIX 3.8.2 can't display Hindi, though 
Firefox 1.5.0.1 which I had downloaded can.

Re: [ilugd] Undeleting The Trash Files

 Hi All

 Can anyone of you tell me how to undelete the files or folders deleted
 even from trash in Linux...like what we are having for the windows
 platform.

If the blocks have not been already overwritten by something else
after deletion, you can recover it using mc (ext2 only).

From http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html :
Q: How can I recover (undelete) deleted files from my ext3 partition?

Actually, you can't! This is what one of the developers, Andreas
Dilger, said about it:

In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after a
crash, it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereas
ext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marks
the inode as deleted and leaves the block pointers alone.

Your only hope is to grep for parts of your files that have been
deleted and hope for the best.

Re: [ilugd] Query reg Knoppix PostgreSQL

  a user wants to use knoppix on a project that

 What are the chances of this succeeding while knoppix
 gets selected over any other distro ?Can knoppix
 (installed on hard disk) give this service efficiently
 ? What can be the pitfalls and problems that can be
 expected? is it something worthwhile doing ? or is it
 a failure even before it started?

Debian and Postgres do not exactly fit together. Debian's postgres
package does not adhere to the normal directories for postgres. I once
made a mistake of trying to package a postgres app with Knoppix but it
took me days to do it. Not only that, but the init scripts are also
not very... normal. I would suggest you either compile postgres from
source or make the necessary changes after installing the postgres
deb.
