[SlimDevices: Unix] Has the Debian/Ubuntu repo moved?
For about a week now, I've failed to get http://debian.slimdevices.com stable. I haven't been on these forums for quite a while - I think I must have missed something. Or is it that I'm the only one with this issue? I've looked around the Linux/Unix forum, there doesn't seem to be any widespread reports of this lately.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Connect Windows and Ubuntu PCs together?
cybervision_: This is just really, really complicated. You have two machines with two interfaces each, bridging wireless to wired on the first and wired to wireless on the second. Plus two operating systems. That would do most people's heads in! If I were you, I'd do this in a router capable of WDS (Wireless Distribution System, a Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT or Tomato firmware is capable and affordable). Link it via WDS to the home owner's network. Then simply connect everything you can via wired and the rest via wireless. Doing it all in one device would surely be a lot easier rather than relying on two machines each with their different quirks, limitations, and different ways of doing things. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61539 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Which Linux-dist. and how to...?
Yes, Ubuntu is based on Debian but provides more user friendliness for Linux newbies. There's also a large, very active forum. Regarding hibernation, it has more to do with your BIOS. However if you found Debian and the command-line hard don't go for the server edition, since it will be just a command-line as well. Install the standard edition. Once you get everything running to your satisfaction, shut it down, unplug the monitor and start it back up. Without a monitor plugged in, it will shut off the GUI which will save a fair amount of resources (CPU, memory). If everything works without a GUI, just leave it alone. You can get in using SSH and the command-line, say with a client like PuTTY. If you're not comfortable with that, simply plug in a monitor again. It'll start up the GUI in a minimal mode, to get it back to full resolution just reboot it using the GUI. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta), SBC (early beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta) Sold: SB3, Duet Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=61444 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] OT: problems installing Rubyripper on Ubuntu 8.10
I'm having problems getting Rubyripper installed on an Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64. In fact I've tried new versions for about a year and none have installed, the last one that installed properly is 0.5.0-0mk1 according to Synaptic - I believe this is in the 8.10 repositories, the last one I remember being able to install manually was 0.4.3.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] OT: problems installing Rubyripper on Ubuntu 8.10
I've been using older versions of Rubyripper (as you can tell!) and overall, it's the best ripper for Linux IMHO. However it does NOT repair damaged CDs. It purports to by re-ripping until it gets two consecutive reads the same - but this isn't repair, it just means it's getting the same errors. So you can get audible defects in repaired tracks. The good news is it clearly logs the positions of the repairs so you can listen for yourself. This is the most critical thing in my opinion and it's what missing from other Linux rippers. If I get an error, I want to know about it! Once the error is identified, you can usually make it go away by performing a scratch repair on the disc.

Those things encode to FLAC and MP3 at blazing speeds. I haven't used one as such, but I'd guess a Core 2-derived Celeron would be great for running SC and have enough power to encode decently as well, all while being quite power efficient and cool, and it's certainly cheaper than a VIA integrated board at least around here. Intel also markets a low-end dual-core Core 2 design as a Pentium Dual-Core, this would also do the job and be even faster at encoding. Agreed, a Core 2 Duo is considerable overkill.

It's a waste, but boy that thing could encode media wicked fast! About the only advantage the processor and 2 GB of memory have now is rescan times, 3 minutes for ~4500 tracks.

hellesangel;317936 Wrote: Many thanks, I'll give that a try but I'm not sure it's what I require as the flaws of the ripped version aren't as you describe. What appears to be the problem is a general lack of detail across the entire CD. The audio produced by the Squeezebox 3 is like the audio the CD player makes but with the speakers wrapped in blankets - It's muddled, dull and lifeless. I know the Squeezebox hardware isn't at fault as other ripped files, ripped by friends using other methods, are much closer to their originals, it's a problem with my rips. The most likely source is the sometimes 10x ripping speed, and I'd like to limit Grip to a max 2x speed as an experiment. I know enough about reading CDs to know I'm confused about promises made by various bits of software, but my ears are good enough to tell me that my rips are rubbish and can be improved. This doesn't make sense, bad rips aren't that specific. A bad rip will have bit errors - enough of these will cause a pop or a dropout, but it's simply not possible to influence the audio so subtly that it affects detail. That sort of error would have to be purposefully encoded into the CD or generated by the playback chain. Bit errors are random and affect the entire audio spectrum, errors affecting detail (say, one part of the audio spectrum) are not random. Is Grip set to normalize or something? Is the SB set for volume adjustment?

I can remember having that problem at one time. I can't remember how I solved it. I think it went away after I mounted it to /home/music/ . /media/ is a special folder I believe. However the scanner will ignore everything but music files and it won't slow down the scan, so you can safely scan the top-level directory provided there are no other music files. Unfortunately as it scans your playlists it may duplicate any items on the playlists as it finds the item directly, then through the playlist. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48263 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix

RubyRipper here too, but the program is no longer in active development.

At least it logs errors so you know where to listen unlike other Linux rippers. peter, thanks for the link to the .deb, I was installing from source and it was a little tricky.

[SlimDevices: Unix] Rubyripper abandoned, any replacement?
See http://groups.google.com/group/rubyripper-release/browse_thread/thread/49a104e72ea57e0e , looks like development work has stopped. Rubyripper is IMHO the best Linux ripper out there because it will detect and log errors, although contrary to the program's design, it usually doesn't correct them. It also encodes to multiple formats and just recently started supporting multi-threading. However I've always had an issue regarding its error correction philosophy - just because a chunk reads the same twice, it doesn't mean it's good. This is true in practice, I have a fair amount of corrected errors that cause audible defects in rips. But at least I know where they are... Upgrading my test machine to Ubuntu 8.04 the other day has prompted me to look for a replacement since I can't get Rubyripper to run on it. Rather than waste time trying to get it working, is there a replacement with all those features or should I give in and run EAC under wine? That's the one thing I find isn't very evolved about Linux - there are no really good rippers that log errors and rip to multiple formats.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Best Linux Distribution for Slimserver...
Most people would say Ubuntu. Until recently, the Debian/Ubuntu SqueezeCenter installation package worked perfectly. Things have been unstable for a bit, but I installed the latest yesterday with only one hitch (all preferences wiped). However it runs fine. Ubuntu is very mature, very stable, has many, many preconfigured packages and a massive forum. Packages are kept quite up to date and there are new distro releases every 6 months that generally upgrade everything to the very latest. It's not as resource-light as other (harder!) Linux distros like Gentoo, Slackware or pure Debian, but it's very easy to use for a beginner. The install CD also acts as a live CD so you can test it out before installing it. Once you get a bit of experience with the command line and provided SqueezeCenter and server activities will be all that you'll do on the machine, you can lighten things up by installing Ubuntu Server. -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Another newbie Debian question
You know, I have my doubts about the AMD K6-2 and its suitability for modern Linux. I have three machines: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4 GHz), 2 GB RAM, Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit. SlimServer 6.5.4. Obviously a monster. If it performs anything less than instantaneously I get peeved. :-) AMD Duron 1.2 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Ubuntu 7.10 32-bit, latest SqueezeCenter 7.0 nightly build. It's slower than the first one obviously, but still runs SC7 very fast. I'd say this would be equivalent to the 1 GHz mini-ITX system you're considering, but the mini-ITX system will have more RAM. AMD K6-2 400 MHz, 192 MB RAM, Xubuntu 7.10. I play around with this one just because I have it. It's obviously very slow, even with xfce. There's also this very annoying CPU lockup which will happen from time to time, I haven't been able to track it down. It also likes to stick the keyboard, thinking I'm pressing and holding a key down when I'm not. More or less unusable. I suppose I could install Ubuntu Server 7.10 on it and try SC7 as I now have enough command-line knowledge to do this but I don't see much of a point. Everyone says that Linux has reduced hardware requirements and this is the case, but is a K6-2 just -too- slow? In my experience, yes. Maybe I'll bash around with Ubuntu Server and see if I get a little more power out of it, but as is, it's unusable. -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.
