The 'K7' builds are only for us who run AMD Athlons. I thought I made this point in my previous message, but obviously not. So when you do an 'apt-cache search asla-modules' (BTW, learn to love apt-cache, it will save your skin many times), you get: coffee (steve)$ apt-cache search

Okay, here's a small known good OGG file. At least, I was able to listen to it here at home. I tried to pick something to match your earlier indicated musical taste. :) http://students.washington.edu/sjuranic/alright.ogg You should be able to hear this at home. Let us know if you can't.

Have you tried just playing the .ogg files with ogg123? Do you have any KNOWN GOOD-type of .ogg's? I'd test with those first to see if it's a problem with your player or with the encoder. -- Stephen W. Juranich

Re: OGG wont do

2002-06-17 Thread Steve Juranich
Did you say you used lame to encode the file? If so, try using oggenc instead (comes in the same package as ogg123). I've never had a problem with that before. I've got some vorbis files that I can point you to, but you'll have to wait until I get home from work. ;)

One thing I noticed, which is probably just an artifact of word-wrapping on your mailer, but make sure that there's no newline in your deb ... lines. I'd be surprised if this didn't break stuff. Secondly, it looks like you're snagging all of the official debian stuff just fine. The problem

Galeon's been pretty wonky for the past week. Some of the problems have been packaging problems (blame the impending woody release), and other problems have been buggy code (blame the impending Mozilla release). So I, for one, have decided that I'm not going to worry about it until Mozilla
