CERES
*****
"Ceres is a simple program for displaying sonograms and for sound effects
in the frequency domain."
Except that its not that simple anymore...
0.40 -> 0.41
-------------
-Fixed a (horrible) bug that caused ceres to crash on newer linux
distributions.
-Simplified the install process a lot. pygtk1, libglade and sndlib
is now included in the distribution and is/can be installed
automatically if needed.
-Connect to jack-server right after starting up ceres, not right
before playing for the first time.

SND-LS
******
Snd-ls is a distribution of the sound editor Snd. Its target is
people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want
to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve
as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up.
0.9.1.2 -> 0.9.1.5:
-------------------
-Made the apply-button always apply to selection if there is a selection.
-Removed some options from the edit-menu that interfered with the way
snd_conffile works.
-Made the insert-option in the edit-menu insert monofiles into the
currently selected channel.
-Added libxt-dev to the list of required packages. (Thanks to robin)
-Made mono-files play in both left and right channel when using Jack.
-Short fix for the nodeline-class.

:: WHAT IS DYNE:BOLIC ?
Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable cd, containing a whole
operating system that works straight from boot, without the need to
install or change anything on the hard disk.
If you like and want to have it on harddisk you can simply copy the
/dyne directory on your computer: the simpliest installation ever!
Dyne:bolic is user-friendly: recognizes your hardware devices (sound,
video, firewire, and USB), and offers a VAST range of free software
applications for multimedia production, audio and video manipulation,
sound composition and synthesis, 3D modeling, photography, peer2peer
filesharing, web browsing, desktop publishing, word processing, cd
burning, email, encryption, remote conferencing, funky games, a world
atlas navigator and even more.
Advanced features include: a complete environment with the most advanced
multimedia applications available on GNU/Linux, automatic clustering joining
the CPU power between any other dyne:bolic on the local network, capability
to work well on old PC (Pentium1 64Mb) and even XBOX game consoles, support
to save and encrypt personal data and settings on a usb key.
Dyne:bolic is shaped on the needs of media activists and artists to
promote free speech as a tool for the production and not only the
fruition of digital and analog informations.
It takes birth as a grassroot effort to spread free software and the
spirit of sharing information and knowledge.

Hey all,
We are looking for some portable digital recording devices with the
following criteria:
- very small
- durable
- near $100 ($100-150)
- usb compatible
- linux + windows friendly
- mic-in with a reasonable signal-to-noise ratio
- descent quality recordings
- battery powered
We intend to distribute about 10 - 20 of these units to radio
journalists in Mali, whom will use these devices to collect material for
their programs which they can then edit in Audacity and broadcast on the
air.
We are looking at devices such as the iRiver 190T
Any one have any experience with such devices, in particular using them
with linux?

Happy new year 2005 to all LA fellows !
Recently I have contacted a manufacturer (WaveIdea) to help them adapting
their hardware (a great midi Interface unit
http://www.waveidea.com/en/products/bitstream_3x/) on Linux and they are
very opened to collaborate with the community.
They are developping with the cross platform libraries WXWidget and
Portmidi, libraries used for example by "Audacity". they have two softs.
- a proprieritary soft : the firmware upgrader, I have compiled it on
Linux and it looks like it will work very well on this platform.
- a "future" open source soft (I succeed in convincing them to make it
open source) that has not been developped completely. It is the
configuration tool of the unit. The developpment should consist in :
- linking the UI action to the low level functions that should
send/receive Sysex between the soft and the unit.
- Improve the UI itself.
Anyone interested to help finishing this open source soft is welcome, just
contact me.
Philippe
Thanks for the responses - the reason I didn't give
more details is mainly because I don't know where to
begin troubleshooting.
Firstly let me explain why I need this to work on
knoppix. I boot knoppix from a customized image on a
compact flash card, so I've been able to add and
customize a lot of software, and it runs all sorts of
things for me like a webserver, proxy, browser, etc
etc. I have a dedicated computer at my house that is
always running knoppix (without harddrive) which is
always on since there is no harddrive to eventually
crash. For my serious audio work I have another
computer that runs midi software I've been using since
the late 80's (Dr. T's) in an Atari ST emulator, and
this system does everything I need for now.
Although I've been dabbling with Agnula and ALSA (with
no luck yet), I still need to get the knoppix system
working with rosegarden2 so that we will have a midi
scratchpad to save song ideas with, to be later
imported into a different system with rosegarden4 or
cakewalk sonar or whatever.
OK here are some details on my system. The computer
is a gateway P2/266, and I have three soundcards (and
a usb interface) that I've tried booting with, but
knoppix doesn't autoconfigure the midi ports on any of
them, although knoppix is able to identify and
configure the audio portion of the soundcards. My
hunch is that I should be able to manually get the
midi portion to be recognized if I knew what to do.
The soundcards I've tried are 1) a digital research
ESS1869 ISA card, 2) an AVANCE LOGIC als-100 ISA card,
3) yamaha YMF-724 PCI card, and 4) a midiman midisport
1x1 USB interface.
When I run rosegarden2 (that comes included in
knoppix), the midi setup has /dev/null as the midi
device. If I change it to /dev/midi, or
/dev/sequencer, it says "device invalid or busy"
when I run sndconfig with the yamaha pci card
installed, it says "the yamaha corp ymf-724 (pci) is
not currently supported" although I still hear audio
through the wav output.
when I run sndconfig with the ESS1869 ISA card
installed, it says "no PnP or PCI soundcards were
found - choose from list" then I choose "ESS1868
audiodrive" from the list, then I get a segmentation
fault.
I checked my /etc/modules.conf - I don't see an entry
"snd-seq-oss", but the top of the file says run
"update-modules" instead of editing modules.conf
directly.
So thats where I am now; I don't know what modules I
need loaded (snd-seq-oss?) and I don't know where to
find or how to add modules (yet).
What can I try next? Any tips will be much appreciated!

Do You Yahoo!?
Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around
http://mail.yahoo.com
I am in desperate need of advice! I don't know if
this post is appropriate here but for months I have
been seeking info from different linux audio
forums/lists, and have gotten nowhere.
I have a knoppix installation that includes
rosegarden2 and OSS drivers and am trying to get OSS
to recognize the midiports.
The midiports are not recognized upon bootup. How can
I configure/check the midi port configuration for the
OSS drivers?
Yes I know that rosegarden4 blows away rosegarden2,
and ALSA is the way to go, but since knoppix includes
rosegarden2 and OSS, I think it would be easier for me
to get this working than switch to ALSA and new
software.
I have tried several midi interfaces/soundcards which
I know are supposed to work (ISA, PCI, and USB)
Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi,
careful with the linux security module: As reported on Bugtraq,
there's a vulnerability when loading LSM as a module instead of
compiling it into the kernel:
"When POSIX Capability LSM module isn't compiled into kernel, after
inserting Capability module into kernel, all existed normal users
processes will have total Capability privileges of superuser (root)."
Read on here:

Ciao
