[SLUG] Audio out on two machines simultaneously
I have a machine in the lounge room and a wirelessly networked laptop in the kitchen. I want both machines to play the same audio. The laptop is actually only running an X Server and xfm and all apps run on the desktop machine. Currently audio-out only comes out the desktop, through artsd (KDE). So how can I get artsd (or similar) to send the audio to both machines' sound cards at once? -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net Send email with subject "send key pub" for public key.

My favourite story of AI driving is of a giant truck full of computers navigating around a park - it drove slowly up to a rubbish bin, stopped and thought for about 5 minutes, and then drove over the top of it. cheers, Woody -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Debian (2.2)/Windowmake How do you resize a window?
I know it sounds sime, but all I can work out under Debian
2.2/WindowMake is how to iconise or maximise my windows.
How do I stretch the window to the size I want?
i.e. right click on title, choose Resize/Move - then what?
I haven't been able to work this bit out.

Thanks. I was about to reply to myself and say do control + grab RH or
LH bottom corner, but you are right and you do not need the control.

[SLUG] Gnome2.2/gtk & metacity themes
Hi All, I have recently installed aqua themes for GTK2 and Metacity on my home machine and everything is working and looking very nice. However I just tried installing the same themes on my work system and I am getting the Metacity borders ok, and I seem to be getting 'part' of the gtk theme working (ie. I have the bubble 'minimized windows', and config windows seem to have aqua buttions and such) however I don't have any aqua theme for menus in any programs, and *no* tabs have the aqua theme (multi-gnome, galeon etc) which was all working in my home system. I have tried switching to another theme and then back again, but it hasn't made any difference. Does anyone have any hints?? btw, I have installed the gtk-engine-pixmaps as well... Cheers, Adam. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Problems with dhcpd
G'day all... FWIW: Mandrake-8.2 (Kernel 2.4.18) `# dhcpd --version` produces isc-dhcpd-V3.0.1rc8 I'm noticing that machines go to obtain their IP address or renew their leases and they get no response from the dhcpd server. I've had to manually set IP addresses to available IPs. I have no idea what's caused this, its happened twice in unrelated incidences. No amount of fiddling with client settings has seemed to help. Today it wouldn't work for a client, which was working fine on Friday evening. Ideas? TIA... Mike --- Michael S. E.

RE: [SLUG] Creating hard Links to directories]

It was for setting up a development environment - I basically wanted different libraries under /lib without having to build an entire system.

This may seem a complete non-sequitur but I've seen it break installs where a friends systems clock was set a year old for some odd reason. What happens is that when it tries to install the GnuPG package one of the scripts adds public keys to the root PGP keyring. These fail because the date on the system is *before* the key was created. Later packages then fail because they're PGP signed, but the signatures are said to be invalid by GnuPG because the keys were not added. It's a long shot, but you never know.. cheers!

AFAIK (happy to be corrected), this only plays the music at approximately the same time (give or take a few seconds, due to buffering etc). Which is probably not what you want, if you could hear both computers at the same time. We tried this at a lan, it was ugly. A hardware fix would be wiring your audio through the two unused pairs of your network cable. cheers, Woody -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] (Samba 2.2.6) Changing Windows permission/attributes on files.
G'day all... I'm wondering how you can change windows attributes on files under Linux. (The files are being served to MS Windows clients using Samba 2.2.6) I've had some problems with desktop.ini not being marked as hidden where it should be. I'd like to be able to set the hidden attribute on these files. Any ideas / suggestions? Thanks. Mike --- Michael S. E.

There's an xmms output plugin for it and there's a clicky thing that lets you route audio with it. I've not used it for that, but I suspect it could be coerced to do what you want. Anyway, Jack complains for me when it's something like a thousandth of a second off, so it's probably closer to the latency you're looking for.
