Re: [newbie] file name format in Grip
Hi, the problem is solved. Under config/misc there was not only a Do not change spaces to underscore, but also a Do not lowercase filenames checkbox.

The ogg files are named by default like: 11_sun_in_your_face.ogg The encode file format is set to ~/mp3/%A/%d/%t_%n.ogg I want capital letters in the beginning of every word and spaces instead of underlines between the words. How shoud I set the encode file format to get the following file name: 11_Sun In Your Face.ogg Thanks in advance, Fifner This is Linux, you'll have to do that manually to each file you encode. Or, you can use another app like easytag. But seriously now folks, there should be an option in options somewhere that says replace spaces with underscores. I'd say if you uncheck that you should be set except for the capital letters. My first instinct is man tr on that one. tr only matches single characters, it could uppercase the whole name, Like I always say, never trust your first instinct ;) but it isn't up to capitalising each word. The required command is something like: for $i in *.ogg do mv $i `echo $i|sed s/\([_ ]\)\([a-z]\)/\1\u\2/g` done The sed command is correct, but I get syntax errors on the 'for', maybe someone can jump in and correct me. If the filename has spaces in it you need to quote $i in the mv command, i.e. 'mv $i ...'. True. but I couldn't get it to get that far. It complains that mv is unexpected. Something to do with the for syntax that I couldn't find the right mystical incantation for. If you're interested, here's a comp.unix.shell search on change case: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=enlr=ie=ISO-8859-1q=change+case meta=group%3Dcomp.unix.shell There I found this script that works for converting to initial caps: #!/bin/sed -f s/$/aAbBcCdDeEfFgGhHiIjJkKlLmMnNoOpPqQrRsStTuUvVwWxXyYzZ/ s/^\([a-z]\)\(.*\1\)\(.\)/\3\2\3/ :more s/\([ ]\)\([a-z]\)\(.*\2\)\(.\)/\1\4\3\4/ t more s/aA[b-zB-Z]*$// That is a general purpose script for handling text. In this case we can be simpler and still get the job done. (the stuff in the first pair of brackets after :more is a space and a tab.) However, it will not work with a file named 11_fun in the sun.ogg as 11_fun counts as a word. Add a _ to the space and tab and it would work.

My internet provider has changed to DHCP unfortunatley. When I want to switch to my windowscomputer(for games) I have to wait maybe 2 ours before I can get the connection to work. I cant get my ip from dhcp because It's locked to the linuxcomp's nic-adress. It's dhcp but I will get the ip is locked so I will get the same number every time.

After reading this article ... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2001436280_linux group08.html Please put that back. :) I couldn't access it. :) I am left wondering; where does Intel stand in the debate? Are they officially on the M$ side of things are are they attempting to play Even if that's relevant, AMD makes better processors. See tom's hardware. AMD (ca 2001 when I put this box together, at that time the Pentium 4 had just surfaced) is better and faster at the same clock speed than P4. There are still serious issues like cache and pipeline stalls in the P4, unless Intel fixed that since. If Intel is more MS-friendly than they should be, I don't know. I'll stick with AMD. I, for one, don't want a computer that keeps track of my existence and reports to MS - I know I exist, and don't need any help in that area. Of course, I'm referring to the increasing possibility of DMCA-aware computing, with processors that detect or refuse to run stuff.) I can sum up the SCO effort in 2 words: unjust enrichment. I read another article which made the point that at one time SCO (they acquired Caldera, right?) was actively trying to market a commercial Linux distro. I never opted for Caldera, but I read the reviews and such. Now, they did much of that through GPL, no? Did SCO commit any *non GPL* changes to the Linux kernel? No - they would have been rejected by Linus. (Anyone got his input?) AIX is a totally different animal than Linux. The kernels are different. How dare SCO tell IBM that every customer is now using an illegal product. (we use AIX + Pick at work). But isn't that SCO's argument? That Linux got polluted by source from AIX? Redhat, Mandrake, debian, etc. have not signed contracts with SCO to my knowledge. I know I didn't. I can't be in violation of a non-existant license. SCO will never see any money from me. Might as well tell them that if Linux did not exist, millions of people probably would be pirating SCO, or perhaps Windows. neutral in all of this. I have never used an AMD processor and I wasn't AMD is superior. license for software they shipped me under the pretense that it was 'free'? Was it shrinkwrapped? Did it have a non-GPL type license to it? There have been precedences in the user community reactions over the years - involving en masse switching to the competition. For instance, rememmber SEA versus Phil Katz? The result of that was thousands of BBSes switching to ZIP, almost overnight. GIF licensing threats from Unisys engendered a similar reaction, more recently. So if SCO wins, I'll switch to FreeBSD :). I'd rather not, though. FreeBSD is fine, but I think it would require a lot more post-install setup than Linux distros do ATM. I could be wrong on that - I haven't tried it in a very long time. -=Thinker David E. Fox Thanks for letting me [EMAIL PROTECTED]change magnetic patterns [EMAIL PROTECTED] on your hard disk. --- Actually the way I read it was that Caldera acquired SCO and then since they were bringing in more revenue on SCO products, they changed the company name from Caldera to SCO. Better identifies with what they sold more of at less of a loss. So basically the SCO interests took over the Caldera interests and some of the Caldera Officers who were pro open source left the company. Now named SCO of course.

I enter ./POPFile on the command line and press ENTER. POPFile starts up, spits out a few lines of text (Loading (blah) ... Initializing (blah) ... Starting (blah) ...

Re: [newbie] audio software
I tried doing this with the ogg stream from http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com but the wav file always ends up with silence. Any ideas? I'm listening to that now. I have the record script running in another console. Recording is OK. Note I have kmix with the red record light selected on the slider for IGain - depending on what card and driver you have, that could appear elsewhere, but on my system it's the one in the middle - there are two of these funny triangles, select the left one. Getting to the stream was problematic. Starting the stream and having kde run 'ogg123' just produced nothing. I had to save the .pls file and then try a variety of ways to open it. What finally worked was to direct ogg123 to the url mentioned in the pls file. I tried with mplayer as well, and it couldn't read the playlist file directly. It appears that some players can get to the URL in the playlist file, and others cannot. Sometimes the playlist or ASX file is only one line long, and if it can't open it, I use `cat foo.asx` instead :). Aside - it's interesting in that page has a premium broadcast of a *lower* quality on live365, and you can listen to the stream for free there. I tried icecast as well, there doesn't seem to be anything there. Incidentally, this whole time sink started some months ago as a thread on expert (or maybe newbie) concerning how to record live streams - something I've wanted to do for a while. There's even a Twiki page on it, but I can't remember where it is. sox - at least in Mandrake/cooker or 9.1 doesn't have the ability to record to .ogg directly. There are ways to coax it to do so, and I believe the Twiki page references that. But that was sometime ago, and through the different installs and upgrades, I've long since reverted to the sox in Mandrake. I still haven't sorted out Audacity - it doesn't seem to want to record directly off of the soundcard. It used to do that; it was fun to see the graph of the sound and the bar keep going to the right in real time. Fine - just record and then import the mp3 into Audacity ;). If this method doesn't work, you can dump the stream directly using mplayer/mencoder's stream dump option. 'mplayer -cache 64 -dumpstream http:/urlofwhateveritis' should work. The downside - you can't hear it at the same time. You'll get a file in the current working directory. When I try it on this URL, I get an ogg vorbis file. And if the URL is video, guess what -- that dumps the video content too ;). (Im going to cc: this back to newbie - it might spark some further discussion, if you don't mind.) Miark David E.
