CD, VCD & DVD Burning
by John Lange 03 Dec '03

03 Dec '03

At a recent MUUG meeting someone was asking about burning VCDs (Video CDs). I believe the consensus at the meeting was that burning under Linux was comprised of a hodge-podge of various command line tools for converting video formats and burning making it quite difficult at best. I recently stumbled on the following software: http://www.k3b.org/ which seems to bring everything under one roof and claims to do CD, VCD, and DVD burning all in one application (it does not appear to be just a GUI … [View More]

Problem burning cd using cdrtoaster-1.12:
by S/C Conway 14 May '02

14 May '02

Hardware: Sony CRX140S CD ReWritable Recorder Software RH 7.2 kernel 2.4.9-13 sox-12.17.1-4 cdrecord-1.10-4 cdrecord-devel-1.10-4 Using cdrtoaster-1.12 to burn an MP3 to an audio cd results in never recorded before "chipmunks" coaster. The audio sounds like a 33rpm record played at 45rpm. This may be a bad analogy for the CD exposed generation. Analyzing the script from cdrtoaster the creation of a CD takes place in two steps. One step converts the mp3 to wav the next step burns the cd. … [View More]

KDE 2.2.1 abandoned?
by ed orphan 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

I sent a bug report to tibirna(a)kde.org because Konqueror 2.2.1 freezes on htp or ftp downloads. Netscape Communicator works perfectly, but Konqueror freezes. I could not use the bug Wizard at the KDE site because it said my QT was too old. I just installed Red Hat 7.2 and its too old? I got a repy from my bug report and it said I was using an obsolete KDE. It said I should be using KDE 2.2.2 and they were not very interested in bug reprots for old KDE 2.2.1. It also said I should use a … [View More]

Konqueror freezes on downloads
by author 26 Feb '02

26 Feb '02

First, I'd like to thank you all for helping me install Red Hat 7.2. You can't always believe what you read. KDE desktop did not list a modem and KDE hardware probe had my modem listed as unknown, so I just assumed it wouldn't work. Especially when minicom did a segment fault. But it works just fine. I filled in the KDE dialer info, did a reset with the modem terminal, and it works. But Knoqueror freezed whenever I try to download a file, be it http or ftp. Netscape Communicator runs … [View More]

modem problem
by author 17 Feb '02

17 Feb '02

Red Hat 7.1 kernel 2.4.2-2 recognized my modem and I had no problems with it. It's an internal ISA GVC 5634 BTS 56K set to PnP. Red Hat 7.2 knows its there. I can see it listed as unknown under hardware. But 7.2 refuses to have anything to do with it. Using minicom, I contacted the modem via ttyS2, but when I try to telephone: minicom -d 9866722 I get a segmentation fault in both xterm and on the command line. I then created a link, ln -s /dev/ttyS2 modem but it made no difference. Duh? … [View More]

File system question again
by author 15 Feb '02

15 Feb '02

Just so I get it right, could someone tell me how much disk space to give "/" ? I'm installing Red Hat 7.2 and I've got 14 gigs of extended space on the hard drive. This is the intended plan: /dev/hda7 / space ? hda8 /boot 100 megs hda9 /var 3 gigs hda10 /usr 8 gigs hda11 /home 100 megs hda12 /swap 2 x memory = 768 megs Can I expect any complications from Red Hat 7.1 boot menu? I suspect its taken over the MBR. That's one reason I have not … [View More]

Sendmail/multiple domains/aliases/RedHat 7.1
by Raymond J. Henry 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

OK, here's the scoop - I've got a system running with a couple of domains on it. RedHat 7.1, sendmail 8.11.2-14, Apache, DNS, et all. Everything is running smoothly. This box has the localhost set to my first domain name, and no localdomain specified. I'm upgrading (replacing) the system, and would like to do this without actually shutting the first system off until the second one is online and ready to go. I should note at this point that I took the easy way out when I set this up in the … [View More]

Microsoft WINS.... at MPI
by Chung, Damian 06 Feb '02

06 Feb '02

Well I've talked to some of you at MUUG Meetings about this issue, but I'm afraid it's a losing battle unless I can manage to show the public how there is NO BENEFIT TO CONVERTING TO WINDOWS! Manitoba Public Insurance is planning to convert our extremely reliable AIX/UNIX environment into a "One vendor, Microsoft Solution". In all of 2001, we only had 9 min of Prime-Time Down Time. Why? The business case is for a thin client, web based application. Why not JAVA? I just sat through a … [View More]
