Re: [ubuntu-uk] Grub/bootloader configs (was: Ubuntu 64 bit)
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your response. As far as I can see, they're not in the same
place. My grub menu tells me it's 1.97 beta4 when I boot up. Looking in
/boot/grub, there is no file with the relevant name.
I did find grub.cfg, but.. it clearly states at the top of the file:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
So, what do I do. Do I ignore the message, or carry on regardless?

If you still have Grub1, then they are still in the same place
('/boot/grub/menu.lst'), which is dynamially updated by the command
'update-grub', based on the installed Linux kernels (dpkg -l linux-image-*).

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu 64 bit
Hi Folks, I joined this list a couple of weeks ago, and tonight I've had my first reason to post something. Been using Ubuntu on and off since 6.06 and with every release I'm getting closer to making it my main OS (I dual-boot with Windows Vista at the moment, which is my main reason for finally wanting to ditch Windows...) Until now I've always used 32-bit versions of Ubuntu and was happily running 9.10 on this machine. Tonight, though, I decided to do a fresh install and go with the 64-bit version. I was hitherto unaware that my machine would support it, but that turned out not to be the case. What's annoying me is that I have a list of kernels that appear on the GRUB menu that I no longer have installed. Indeed, when I try to boot into any of them, the boot process stops. I deleted all the partitions that Ubuntu originally resided on and recreated them all from scratch, so I can only assume that the grub list that comes up is stored in the MBR, which should, in theory, be on my main windows partition. Back in the old days I was able to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or something similar... where are the grub configuration files kept these days? There seems to be quite a change in 9.10. Thanks in advance. Gus -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Update cauing problems with java...I think
I had an update a couple of days ago, and since then, when using Firefox and Chromium, whenever I am on a page that has java on it, everything bounces around. On FF I have Echofan installed, for Tweets, it was ok until the update, now I cant read it if I have a website with java on it, it bounces around too. I also am having problems with Chromium and Facebook. Some of the things on there wont anymore as well. I cant upload pictures or videos. I contacted FB, had a message back asking me to upgrade my java. As far as I know, I have the updated version of java installed. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks John. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Or another option would be to put a server/relay on a wired network and if need be have the box capturing the stream on wireless and have that transmit one stream to the server/relay.

It's actually radio logging software (to cover Ofcom requirements of logging all output for 42 days) so it records the audio stream coming in and streams it to a Shoutcast server and also records to disc (I believe in MP3 or OGG format, not sure about WAV/FLAC). It's also supposed to have an easyish to use web interface (which is handy for radio stations as Ofcom may ask for a specific minute of audio anytime within the 42 days so 1 minute or more out of 60,480 minutes). Other than that you could possibly get away with Darkice (which Darklog is based on) and capture the stream using MPlayer (I've done this in the past to capture radio shows). Hope this helps anyway.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Audio in, Record and transmit over Network
Im guessing Cornelius needs to stream to a server like a shoutcast server for example rather than running one and having multiple clients, but correct me if im wrong. Wont VLC also stream to a shoutcast server? I know theres a package called "Internet DJ console" but it doesnt support mp3 streaming out of the box. However Id say what you need is simply something that takes your input and encodes it on the fly and streams it to a server. Shoutcast apparently have their own tool to stream to a shoutcast server. I havent used it though yet. I only used the windows version a year or so ago. I also used Eddcast on windows which was good as it recorded the outgoing stream too. However I dont believe eddcast is available for Linux? http://www.shoutcast.com/download#14 Mark On 1 March 2010 15:21, Simon Greenwood wrote: > > > On 1 March 2010 14:07, Cornelius Mostert > wrote: > >> Hallo all >> >> I know I have asked this before but only now have all my ducks in a row to >> do this project so please could you tell me what apps I could use to do the >> following: >> I have an audio stream coming in via usb or input jack (line in) and would >> like to: >> 1.

If you stream MP3, users can use a wide range of common players including iTunes and Winamp, or even browser based players. You deliver a m3u playlist which includes the stream and should be handled by some player by default. The only thing that I would suggest is, if it's possible at all, not to stream from the wireless connection as that won't handle enough connections. If your clients are on a wired LAN, put the streaming server there. If the input file is being made on a wireless laptop (for example), export the file to a server using an SMB or NFS share. It's even possible using FTP.

Hallo all I know I have asked this before but only now have all my ducks in a row to do this project so please could you tell me what apps I could use to do the following: I have an audio stream coming in via usb or input jack (line in) and would like to: 1. Record this and 2. Live stream this to the network Now I know I can use Audacity to record but does it also have a Live stream mode "server" and then what clients can I use to play the stream. Please tell me what Software you use or prefer to use. PS. I guess this does not matter but I will be using a WiFi connection for lan trafic and the stream will not go out to the Internet. thanx -- _ Cornelius Mostert Senior IT Specialist United Kingdom: 075 2233 4818 International: 0044 75 2233 4818 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
