If your flash drive is unused and you haven't repartitioned it, I recommend you to repartition/format it under Linux. Or else try upgrading your kernel.

Re: [SLUG] xandros ?
Was this during the install? or after the install, once you have fired up the graphical display? could you post /var/log/XFree86.0.log for us? its a bit hard to know exactly when this error is occuring from your description... is it in a dialogue box once Xwindows starts? or is it printed as a message on the console when it tries to start up Xwindows?

You can't adjust this. you should then be able to load that wav file into audacity, and it should simply recognize it as a 44100 kHz file, and you should edit it at 44100 kHz.

[SLUG] A(nother) question on audacity.
I opened audacity. I received the following error message. Pa_SetupDeviceFormat: warning - requested sample rate = 96000 Hz - closest = 46790 This is, I gather, telling me that the "card" that is currently in the computer can't hack a sample rate of 96000 Hz and that the best it can do is 46790. So, I have a couple of questions, please:--- 1) I'm ripping a CD simply to teach myself audacity, so a sample rate of 46790 would be OK. Presumably I have to set audacity to do this. Can anyone tell me how? 2) I was going to rip the CD via cdparanoia and open it with audacity. The sampling biz would apply to cdparanoia also, wouldn't it? If so, how do I adjust cdparanoia?

Yep. Assuming you're using wall panels or skirting board boxes, you can strip the sheath off further back and route different pairs to two different sockets. It looks a little rickety, but I've never had a problem with lack of strength in the connections. At the patch panel you just do the same thing -- put different pairs into different ports. It does have the distinct disadvantage of not allowing points to be used for an alternate purpose in the future, however -- unless you wire up every point as 1-2, 3-6 (which I heartily do not recommend for several really good reasons). You're also in deep trouble if you need to terminate directly at the closet end (ie straight into RJ-45 and not into a patch panel), but if the client is that cheap you probably don't want the job anyway.

[SLUG] File system barf (ext3), having fsck problems
Hi all, My /home partition is having a hard time at the moment. Whilst untarring some files (logged in remotely), the system froze, and by the time I got to the machine physically, the aforementioned partition was in a bad way, needing several fsck passes to fix a bunch of problems. The ext3 journal is gone, so it's now an ext2 filesystem. I was able to mount the file system and have recovered the home directories, but there are a lot of empty looking inodes remaining in lost+found, and fsck keeps getting stuck on the following error that won't go away: Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Unconnected directory inode 3833802 (...) Connect to /lost+found? yes Couldn't fix parent of inode 3833802: Couldn't find parent directory entry This was after another error that prompted me to delete /lost+found/#3833802. So far google has only turned up advice that I'd give (not very useful, that is). Any ideas? What else needs to be done to clean up the partition? It seems that the superblock is still broken and I'm not sure how to fix that (something to do with backup superblocks I expect). I'll probably delete what remains in lost+found as it doesn't appear to have anything recognisable and I think I have fully recovered the home directories. Then I'll rebuild the ext3 journal and think about a) buying a new hdd b) backing up properly ( :p ) c) reviewing my hdparms. The system has been somewhat unstable ever since I set it up, notably when thrashing the hdd (120GB Seagate SATA).

[SLUG] HP PSC 2110 working on RH 7.3
Hi, I'm trying to get an HP PSC 2110 working on RH 7.3. I've followed all the instructions and installed everything as per the HP & sourceforge sites regarding the foomatic update: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/patchfix.php Anyway, it all goes well and seems to find the printer and install it with the correct driver, but when I try do a test print, absolutely NOTHING happens... Before I upated foomatic (I chose a PSC 9xx) it at least just kept form feeding the printer (with no printing), but now nothing happens at all. Anyone come across/solved this dilema? I've not had much experience with Linux printing, but what I'm trying to do is set up a Linux Print Server that can serve both Linux & Windows machines. If anyone could let me know a good configuration for this as well (LPr, LPD, CUPS, etc) that would be great!! Help would be most graciously appreciated.

[SLUG] HOWTO: Cups, HP3030mfp and Linksys USB Print Server (PSUS4)
Just a quick tip for others as I wasted far too long getting this print server (the Linksys PSUS4 USB print server with 4 port switch) to work with Cups and my HP LaserJet 3030 mfp. You need to use lpd and the queue name is USB1. So the URI required in Cups is: lpd://hostname/USB1 I used the ppd file that was on the CD for Windows NT, however, the "HP 3020 3030" ppd in Cups (Debian anyway) worked fine just without all the options available for configuration. Hope this helps others. P.S. This print server was only about $120 from HT so a great buy. -- Simon Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wongy.org -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

For the raid to be seen at boot time, the partitions must be marked as type ... FD I think. This is the linux auto raid type. This is done with fdisk, etc not the raid tools.

[SLUG] pcmcia-cs KIA
I tried my hand at recompiling pcmcia-cs in attempt to get WPA support on my Orinoco card (Wollongong Uni uses WPA... its the only way to get on). I managed install the new pcmcia-cs, after restarting /etc/init.d/pcmcia no action from the card. The power led isnt active at all. I've tried `apt-get remove pcmcia-cs ; apt-get install pcmcia-cs`, and also compiling an unmodified pcmcia-cs source. Currently I am unable to wonder around the house connected :( -- Simon Males <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> No More AOL CDs Australia - www.anticd.org -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

GNU's version of touch makes it easy. e.g. to find files created on the 4th July: touch --date '4 july' /tmp/find-time-start touch --date '5 july' /tmp/find-time-end find . -newer /tmp/find-time-start ! -newer /tmp/find-time-end -ls I imagine it's _much_ faster than parsing text date strings from ls --format.
