FILENAME=~/mp3/Paradoxes/NeverSayNever.ogg
ffmpeg -i $FILENAME -ab 128 ${FILENAME/.ogg/.mp3}

However, converting to any lossy format causes the audio to lose quality
each time a compression is made (that means wav->ogg loses something;
ogg->mp3 loses even more).

If you got rid of the top panel initially did you install the
notification area back into the bottom panel?  i.e. go to Applications
Menu->Settings->Panel and navigate to the "Items" - the Notification
Area can be added using the "+" at the right.  I don't know if this is
key to application shutdown but it is worth having anyway since the
network icon sits in that which is "quite useful"!

Regards,

Gabriel:

You provided the necessary piece of info that I overlooked (as we would 
say in the States .. "Bingo!").


I had all the rpms, but what happened was I got fooled by the 
"system-config-print cups hpijs" setup through admin->printing in which 
it was able to search and find without my doing anything. I was trying 
the Network/Ethernet/Wireless expecting the same. I looked in the 
advance options for an alternative rather than thinking of using it "in 
addition to". As I had already realized I needed the printer to be 
static IP and got that done this morning, I did the "manual discovery" 
and it worked. I would say hp-setup found it but its more like your 
suggestion was "stopping looking all over, its right under your nose at 
this address!".


When I print something (an html, for example), I am now seeing two 
instances of the printer ... the one created through 
"system-config-print cups hpijs" and a second created to hp-setup. I am 
assuming that I can delete the first and that the whole "system-[...]" 
sequence could have been skipped in favor of hp-setup. I want to test 
with a bunch of different situations, plus do on both F14 and F16 (I 
just tested with F14 as its beside me and not downstairs ... I've gone 
up and down them so many times, I've gotten my manditory exercise for 
the day!).


The great part was that when I ran the scanner tool, xsane immediately 
found the HP 7510 and scans like a champ. Mind you, the HP 7510 won't 
scan directly to the Linux box as it only wants to acknowledge where the 
"official HP software is" (the XP box), but that's academic as I have no 
problems with do all scans as "pulls" rather than being able to "push" 
--- I usually pull scans from my XP rather than start the process out on 
the printer/scanner. I did reboots to make sure it wasn't a matter of 
something needing to be kicked.


Tomorrow I'll run the full set of tests.

I really really thank you (assume html bold/italic here). Though it may 
seem obvious to use the "manual" option, I was too deep into trying to 
figure out all the different things that might be happening that 
"obvious" was just not in my range.


My thanks also go to Terry for all his help. Everything worked per his 
advice once the "obvious" was painted on the side of a big barn for me 
to see.

Does anyone have gdm autologin working in the XFCE spin

2012-02-19 Thread Sam Varshavchik
On a machine where I installed the XFCE spin, gdm autologin to a user  
account is not working. I copied custom.conf from a different Gnome-based  
machine where autologin is working, but on the one with the XFCE spin, the  
autologin fails, and kick me back to a regular user login prompt, in gdm.


I can only think of three possibilities: something in /etc/pam.d/gdm- 
autologin is barfing; or the PAM stuff runs fine, but leaves the user  
session in a state that can't start XFCE, for some reason; or gdm's  
autologin is hardcoded for the Gnome shell in some way, which won't work,  
obviously, in the XFCE spin.


If you have gdm autologin working in the XFCE spin, I'd like to compare  
notes.


I have selinux turned off. The only other factor I can think of that might  
be relevant is that the XFCE spin machine has everything mounted noatime.

I think you're missing the easiest method... If you put a file called
".is_audio_player" on the root of your SD card with the right info in
it[1] and Banshee will automatically convert files when you add them
to you phone. I'm surprised about ogg though. My android 2.2 phone has
no problems with ogg files.

  Then it seems to me it may not be the kernel per se ... perhaps its a

mplayer and mencoder and do anything, but you need to sort through
the 187 factorial combination of options :-). They are available
in the rpmfusion repos.

The audacity version from rpmfusion is probably a simpler way.
You can load the .ogg file and export it as an mp3 and most of
the defaults will be reasonable.

Fixing the source of the messages is beyond me, but making them
disappear from the log is possible. Here are my notes on some
annoying message I managed to get rid of:

systemd drivel
==

There are tons of these messages in the log files:

Nov 18 19:59:01 zooty systemd-logind[936]: New session 413 of user tom.
Nov 18 19:59:02 zooty systemd-logind[936]: Removed session 413.

the rsyslogd filtering should be able to get rid of them:

Make a new file: /etc/rsyslog.d/systemd-drivel.conf

:programname, isequal, "systemd-logind" ~
:msg, contains, "Activating via systemd" ~
:msg, contains, "Activation via systemd failed" ~
:msg, contains, "org.freedesktop.systemd" ~

(While I was in there, tossed in a few more rules to get rid
of other less frequent but still annoying clutter messages.)

I second this approach. It is easily scriptable, and both oggdec and lame are 
readily available and easy to work with.

Note, though, that conversion between ogg and mp3 will drastically deteriorate 
the audio quality of the recording. It would be much better to find the master 
recording (the source wav file or the audio cd) and convert it directly to mp3.

Of course, the deterioration of signal ultimately depends on the quality of 
the playback device. :-)

Also, isn't it possible to install an ogg codec into Android somehow? I am 
pretty ignorant about the whole Android technology, but I understand it is 
basically a Linux-kernel-based OS, so...

HTH, :-)

It seems a simple google search of "convert ogg to mp3 linux" would get
you going.

Giving a cursory glance would seem to indicate this can easily be done
on the command line using a combination of  oggdec and lame.

A script called ogg2mp3 in Linux Questions may help:

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/.ogg_to_.mp3

Cut and paste it and save as ogg2mp3 in any directory where the ogg files are 
at or whereever you want it, then 
$ chmod +x ogg2mp3
then run it like the suggestion

Ogg to mp3, anyone?

2012-02-19 Thread Timothy Murphy

I'm looking for a Fedora/KDE application to convert ogg music format to mp3.
(My Android phone does not accept .ogg files.)

I read of a program "sneetchalizer", which apparently is a ruby script,
,
but despite innumerable clues I've been unable to find the program itself.

If anyone knows where I can find this program,
or any program to convert Ogg audio files to mp3,
I would be very grateful.

Terry:

I am at least back to ground zero. Problem was that the subnetwork 
that the F16 machine was on made an assumption about "non-wireless" 
access that I had to correct. I've got it and another F14 machine on 
it seeing the printer and happily printing.





Okay, I've gone through the link and gotten everything on my end square 
for testing.


Printer is now static IP and, using "yum install system-config-print 
cups hpijs", I can print from any machine.


Installed hplip, hplip-gui, and xsane.

On my F14 system, I can hook up a CanoScan N1240 LIDE30 via USB and 
xsane works (very nicely, I might add). However, neither the F14 or F16 
systems will see any printer or scanner running hp-setup or xsane. 
Which, in the case of the printer, is really odd as the admin->printer 
clearly shows the networked printer.


The new Firefox 10.0.1 on F16 almost freezes up the whole system when I 
try to access the scanner's ip. No such problem on F14 or XP (which are 
using 3.6.27). I see 10.0.2 has jsut been releases and I'll wait for it 
to show up via yum. Obviously, a different problem, but just makes 
working on this one a bit harder).


One thing I did notice was I could not find a confirm that HP 7510 was 
working with xsane, just a memo that it was well handled in hplip. So I 
figure I've got to first get hp-setup to see the 7510.


That being said, I am 100% functional for printing and, given that I 
only scan about 20 items a year, using the F14 or XP box is quite 
acceptable. Not certain if my continued effort is actually going to gain 
me anything except personal satisfaction.


If anyone has a HP 7510 running as networked (wireless into a router) 
and can run hp-setup, I'd appreciate knowing so I can see if I am 
missing something.


Thanks,
Paul

Re: Applications do not close with new kernel

2012-02-19 Thread Roger


I would suggest you actually try another desktop (KDE or XFCE) to 
confirm that it does actually affect all desktops not just gnome. As 
suggested by others, please look in your xorg and the messages logs. 
Also you may want to check your batteries in your mouse. gene



Mouse batteries are new.
Other desktops are fine.
Gnome in Fedora 14 and 15 worked fine.
The problem occurred only with the latest kernel update.
Maybe a change in Xorg, I'll check.
Have changed usb ports to no effect.

Thanks for the tip, I had not thought of checking logs, will do.

Doesn't look like it.

$ rpm -qR conky | grep -i gtk
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
$ rpm -q --whatprovides "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0()(64bit)"
gtk2-2.24.8-3.fc16.x86_64

From the other dependencies I couldn't see any obvious ones that could
pull in gtk3.

The weird world of dependencies! :D

F15: Volume level starts at almost full blast

2012-02-19 Thread jonetsu
Hello,

  I have one F15-64 bit machine on which the volume has to be very
close to the minimum as it seems to attain full volume very, very
early.  Not much play in there. when pushed to the max there is some
'hardware noise' as it is very over-driven. I do not recall having this
problem before a recent update on that machine.  Another F15 64-bit
machine does not show this limited rage at all and has a nice volume
control. 

  Would this be a hardware problem or is there something in a
recent update that would mess the audio in such a way when seeing some
specific hardware ?

Thanks.

I assume the software install tool you ran was yum.  On my F16 machine
gnome-tweak-tool is not running all the time. If I run it from from CLI
I get the errors you got. As with many applications it will run without
visable errors if you place it in the upper panel. Press ALT to be able
to do that. It will then run without visable errors. Now the does not
explain the error messages but maybe they are not to be taken seriously.
I am not sure.

I think one stylistic difference between Gnome and KDE is that KDE seems

with fewer knobs to clutter it. Disclaimer: I speak from ignorance here;
my own preferences are a little picky and I don't use either - my last
use of them is some years old now.

Certainly the gnome-tweak tool should be easier to find, from what I've

Yes, some GNOME developers are self-appointed control freak antifeature nazis
who've stripped functionality in pursuit of some theoretical "non geek" user
who does not exist, thereby crippling their software.
And probably some KDE developers are feature sluts who never saw a checkbox
they didn't love, exposing users to all kinds of broken features.

Gnome-tweak-tool issues

2012-02-19 Thread les
I have added gnome-tweak-tool to my system.  However I have some
problems with it.  First run from the software install tool went OK.  
Made changes to various fonts, and they took effect.

However on subsequent runs I had to start it from the command line, and
it hung up, but I also got a few warnings and errors which are listed
below.

Is there any package I need to install to overcome these issues?

I just found the gnome-tweak-tool.  I now have gigantic fonts, a bit too
large, so I will have to play with it a bit.  Unfortunately it doesn't
change the names associated with the icons sufficiently, which I really
need. I still need to research which setting affects that.

I know the favorites bar, I have about 20 applications I use routinely,
and several places I need to directly access, so I am unsure if the
"favorites bar" will expand to show that or will I just end up with yet
another scroll bar or other move/click to deal with.

Maybe KDE is the answer, but it seems like from what I see on the Web
that KDE is headed this route as well.  So based on that I think getting
all of us to input reasons for our dislike along with suggestions and
maybe some day triage to consolidate the list, we might actually get
some thing useful out of it.

Thanks for the suggestion and I am working on the interface issues
myself.  Maybe a switch that says "my custom DM" will be the outcome.

Regards,
Les H

Or type the name of the program, or change the dock at the left of the
screen. You can just drag and drop programs into that list, and they’ll
stay in the order you put them. If you put your commonly-used programs
there, you’ll rarely have to use any other way of launching programs.

You should also examine the various gnome-shell-extension programs, and
especially the gnome-tweak-tool program, which allows you to change a
number of individual niggles.

Well, the accessibility icon (the picture of a person) in the top right
of the screen gives you access to large fonts. More control can be got
through the gnome-tweak-tool program.

Hope this helps,

James.

nx

2012-02-19 Thread Patrick Dupre

Hello,

From a fedora 14 I cannot open a nx session of a fedora 16.

The nx server seems OK

systemctl status nxserver.service
nxserver.service - LSB: Starts and stops the NoMachine NX Server.
  Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/nxserver)
	  Active: active (exited) since Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:34:43 +0100; 
56min ago
	 Process: 3708 ExecStop=/etc/rc.d/init.d/nxserver stop 
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
	 Process: 3741 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/nxserver start 
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/nxserver.service


I get:
SH running with pid: 17524
NX> 285 Enabling check on switch command
NX> 285 Enabling skip of SSH config files
NX> 285 Setting the preferred NX options
NX> 200 Connected to address: 192.168.0.100 on port: 22
NX> 202 Authenticating user: nx
NX> 208 Using auth method: publickey
NX> 204 Authentication failed.


I can make a ssh as well a sshfs of the machine.

Any idea?

Thank.

It would seem you have uncovered a bug within X affecting your mouse. 
My guess is that it would be the same problem under any desktop
environment. 

I would first start off by comparing the /var/log/Xorg.0.log when
booting into the previous kernel as well as the new kernel.

I would also try moving the mouse/keyboard connection to a port on the
front your PC if you have ports there.  And/Or, simply
disconnecting/reconnecting the USB connector to see if the mouse can be
made to become responsive.

If all that should fail, then time to file a bugzilla.

Sounds like you need to file a kernel bug then. I would have said
against X if using the older version hadn't fixed it. I've seen
similar behaviour in a very old Slackware I have to use and there it
has some interesting properties:
1. Often being caused by some application, killing Firefox (which I
run from the Mozilla binary against a system that's too old for it)
brings the desktop back to life.
2. Typing on the Window last in focus generally works.
3. Mouse cursor still moves, but focus wont change. Due to the way the
cursor is handled it can often be one of the last things to fail.

Yes, that's correct.

OK  Well, in your second message on this subject you said: "Thanks
but the mouse is not functional when this happen".

So, my second question would be  does this happen from the very
start of your session or does the problem happen after a while when running?

What type of mouse do you have?  USB/PS2/Bluetooth?

Mouse. Wireless mouse and keyboard with the receiver plugged into a usb 
port at the back of the pc.
When. After any app is started, any time after log in, no observable 
similar time delays before failure.


I can use the mouse to click on the X button of Firefox, Gimp, terminal, 
etc, any app I start, no matter where I move the mouse the pointer moves 
but the app/s remains and no other selection can be made anywhere on 
the  Gnome3 desktop.


When I say the mouse is not functional I should explain. The mouse 
cursor moves as I move the mouse but I cannot start or stop any other apps.


With previous kernel and in Ubuntu the problem does not exist.

Does a tool like this exist now? I was writing one for my PhD (before I
quit to join Red Hat ;) and at the time there was nothing out there in
public. Unfortunately I lost my rights in the code when I left the position.

OK  Well, in your second message on this subject you said: "Thanks
but the mouse is not functional when this happen". 

So, my second question would be  does this happen from the very
start of your session or does the problem happen after a while when running?

What type of mouse do you have?  USB/PS2/Bluetooth?
