Evolution bug - #273736
Hi Folks, after upgrading to Intrepid my Evolution often will not offer to open attachments with the right application, i.e. only offers to save the attachment. I see that on Launchpad this bug has already been logged and it is supposedly fixed on 16/10/2008. My question is, how long does a fix usually take to get through to the update repositories as my version of Evolution has not been updated yet, and my system checks for updates daily? Cheers. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

Hi Simon, Thanks for your suggestion. I have just created an image from k3b and burnt successfully using Imgburn in wine - thanks - and the file sizes were obviously small. My problem may be a DMA problem that I am not proficient enough to understand or solve.

Hi Ross, The converted data is whatever soundconverter 1.0.1 sets it at for converting from mp3 to wav. Only in the latest version do I have the choice of frequency and 16/32 bit. I don't know of any other linux gui converters - indeed the forums say it is very good???

David, can you create an image with K3b and burn from that with the software that does work for you? Open K3b, select 'New Audio CD Project' and drag your files into the burn window. Select 'burn' and in the next window, in the 'writing' tab, select 'Only create image'. There are other options in the other tabs, such as where you want the image to be created, that you can fiddle with. K3b will create an image of an audio CD for you that you should be able to burn onto a CD with whatever software works for you. I know this is only a temporary 'fix', but it'll get you burning while you figure out what's up with your drive using native Linux apps. -- Simon Ives [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.simonives.info Please consider the environment before printing this email or any attachments. > -- > > Message: 4 > Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 13:41:29 +1100 > From: David Ryder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: ubuntu-au Digest, Vol 33, Issue 11 > To: Ubuntu-au mailing list > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain > > Thanks - I assumed cd players could read the wav format because they > still appear as wav files when listed on the cd - but I accept what you > say. > > On the other issue, I can not burn in Linux using any program to date - > Rhythmbox, Serpentine, Banshee or k3b. > > Perhaps more correctly, and this has only just come to my memory by > reading my notes from Edgy days to date, I can sometimes burn one on one > machine but then all fail - unless I reboot. > > But in wine, using Imgburn, I have yet to have a failure, whether DVD or > CD.

WAV/WAVE stands for Waveform audio format, created by Microsoft and IBM. CDA is a 44.1khz PCM format, while WAV is a container (like AVI) that most often uses 44.1khz, 16bit 2 channel PCM. A MP3 -> CDA conversion may vary depending on the decoder you use, but if you've got the right WAV format, WAV->CDA, it'll be identical every time. David, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but I suspect the problem with large files is that while you've got a WAV container, the data inside the container isn't standard 44.1khz 16bit.
