[linux-audio-user] kernel 2.6.17-rt4 and usb

by Atte André Jensen

Hi I just rolled my own 2.6.17-rt4 (I'm now running 2.6.15) and upon boot it seems that usb was "not working". My usb mouse sisn't work, neither did my usb soundcard or my usb midi keyboard. I seem to remember something about udev, but before I start messing with my system, I'd appreciate if someone could confirm that this this coould in fact be the cause of the problem. If so; how reversible is the process of installing udev, I seem to remember something going... not so well some time back when last tried to go back from udev. If not; what else could be the problem? Surely someone else must have had this problem... I'm running debian/stable and I simply took my trusty 2.6.15 config and copied it to /use/src/linux (symlinked to actual kernel tree) and ran gconfig + save before making the kernel. Thanks in advance for any advice. -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quartet: http://www.anagrammer.dk http://www.atte.dk/gps | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions

It is "non-free" which I guess is why it was taken out. I want it back :-)

[linux-audio-user] Aqualung on Debian? Can it be done?

by Andrew Lester

So does anybody know how to get Aqualung working on Debian? Gentoo is not an option for me. I really would like to get it working, but it depends on a very outdated version of libjack.

[linux-audio-user] font size

by luis jure

hello list, i don't have/use kde, but i use some "kde applications", specifically rosegarden (i also have konqueror and maybe others). the problem i have is the fonts in menus and toolbars are tiny. i solved the problem of gtk applications editing .gtkrc-2.0, but i have no idea how to change fonts in rosegarden and other kde applications. i tried editing ~/.qt/qtrc, but nothing changes. any ideas? these fonts are really hurting my eyes. thanks, lj

[linux-audio-user] Paradoxon in starting lashd/jackd automaticly (was: Re: GLASHCtl 0.2)

by Arnold Krille

Isn't that cool? There s a new mechanism which allows starting servers like jackd or lashd if they are needed. It is meant to help beginners who don't know how to automate via scripts and don't know about all the different dependencies of the apps and servers. And the only way to make that work is to set a variable either on the console or by editing hidden files in your file-manager. And it involves knowing about shell-scripts. You just gotta love that!

Re: [linux-audio-user] AMD64 question

Dave Phillips: > Not long ago I mentioned that a student had traded an MSI mobo (socket >939) for some lessons.

If I would have bought a new machine right now, I would have gone for intel 805d plus watercooling. When overclocking its almost the fastest processor available. Compared to an amd64-3800+fan solution, its not very much more expensive, its a lot faster, and could even be a bit quiter: http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/06/12/your_diy_gaming_rig_for_720/ > 3) The MSI box says it includes an nVidia nForce3 chipset, which I >assume means that there's an audio/video chipset on the mobo. I'll >probably disable the audio, and I have a gForce AGP video card to put in >the machine. Question: Am I better off using the integrated video or >should I use my card instead ? (Btw, I use the kernel nv driver, not >nVidia's binary driver). nVidia doesn't support linux, and many people have had trouble because of this. The nForce3 chipset probably works okey, but if there is an alternative with chipsets from via, intel, or SiS, you should go for that instead, ideologically speaking. Regarding the built-in videocards on nforce boards, all of the ones I have tried (4 different types), have had a bit blury pictures, and neither of them have worked with the open source driver, so you should probably put in your old video card. (the open source driver for the nforce network works just fine, BTW, and its also supported by nvidia themself.) > 6) How can I best reduce the noise from this system ? Get hold of long cables for mouse, keyboard, monitor and sound, and put your machine in a closet or in a different room. For ps/2 and vga cables, you can stretch it to at least 15 meters with asus motherboards.

[linux-audio-user] Wiki (Re: which graphics card?)

by Juhana Sadeharju

>From: Stephen Hassard <steve(a)hassard.net> > >Definitely take a look at mediawiki: http://www.mediawiki.org/ [ ... ] >From: Lee Revell <rlrevell(a)joe-job.com> > >I like the idea of making a master Linux audio page at Wikipedia, and >just put a brief description and links to all the community resources. >I think Google weights wikipedia pages pretty well so it would be a nice >place to point newbies. Whatever wiki is used, please follow this guide: 1. Keep the current wiki pages separated from the edit pages, version pages, etc. For example, MediaWiki at "www.uesp.net/wiki/" has its control pages at "www.uesp.net/w/". Similarly MediaWiki of Blender at "mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Main_Page" has its control pages at "mediawiki.blender.org/" as files "index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit". What it means? That wget can be used to download only the current wiki pages for offline reading by using "-np" (no parents) option. Yes, people need offline copies. Many wiki pages have both the current wiki pages and the control pages at the same directory. Then wget may download multiple GBs(!!) of control pages instead of 200 MB of wiki pages. As an example of wiki where everything is in the same directory: http://iua-share.upf.es/wikis/aes/ (Linux audio presentation at AES) While the simple doc has a handful of pages, wget downloaded 18850 files. 2. If the pages are added to larger wiki system such as Wikipedia, put all pages to a subdirectory so that only it can be downloaded with wget. 3. Check a possibility to generate offline copy of the pages. Wikipedia provides downloadable package files containing the wikipedia. So does "wiki.beyondunreal.com", conveniently, because they also forbid the use of a downloader like wget. As you may have guessed I have downloaded a plenty of wikis for offline reading. Great advantage is that I have a "meta" access to the webpage with "find", "grep" and other commands. The mentioned directory "www.uesp.net/wiki/" has 4825 pages -- info may easily be lost to such a complexity. Many regular webpages benefit from downloading as well: e.g., "find | grep zip" lists all zip files. No time is wasted in finding them. Forums are another trap for offline readers. While mailman archives are easy to download, because gzipped archives are automatically created, the forums have no such feature. Some forums offer a Low Fidelity version but I did find it better to write a special download software.

[linux-audio-user] [ANN] GLASHCtl 0.2

by Lars Luthman

GLASHCtl is a control applet for LASH. This is the first release. Other than my code it contains eggtrayicon.h and eggtrayicon.c (by Anders Carlsson and Jean-Yves Lefort), taken from libegg, and the LASH icon (by Thorsten Wilms) from the LASH project. A patch from Florian Schmidt, adding session renaming and directory switching, has also been applied. Get it at http://dino.nongnu.org/glashctl Attaching README: GLASHCTL ======================================================================= This is a simple applet for controlling the LASH Audio Session Handler. When you run it it will appear as a small LASH icon in your "notification area" or "system tray" (if your desktop manager is compatible with freedesktop.org's "System tray" standard, http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/systemtray-spec). This is typically somewhere in the panel in KDE or GNOME. BUILDING IT ============================================================ To build this program you will need the following libraries: * libgtkmm (2.6.4 or newer) * libvte (0.11.15 or newer) * liblash (0.5.1 or newer) You will also need to have the LASH server, lashd, somewhere in your $PATH. To build the program with the default configuration (install in /usr/local, compile with -g -O2 etc), simply type 'make' in this directory. If you want to change the configuration, use the configure script (run configure --help for details). When you type 'make' a program called glashctl should be generated, and when you type 'make install' it should be installed on your system. You need to install it before you run it, otherwise it won't find the LASH icon file and will not start. USING IT ============================================================ To use the applet, simply run the program. If you have a standards-compliant system tray on your desktop a small LASH icon (a cardboard box with a soundwave on it) should appear there. It is probably insensitive (greyed out), unless you were already running lashd or have the LASH_START_SERVER environment variable set to 1. If you right-click the icon a menu will pop up where you can choose to start lashd. When lashd has started the icon should become sensitive (show colours), and you will be able to restore audio sessions, and when there is an active session, save it, close it, rename it or change its directory. You can also quit the applet from the popup menu. You can also left-click the icon to open a message window that shows information about the events received from lashd. NOTES ============================================================ The LASH icon was created by Thorsten Wilms for the LASH project (http://lash.nongnu.org). I know that the GNOME HIG discourages using the notification area for permanent icons and icons that have actions other than just opening a window associated with them, but until there is a standard for writing normal panel applets that work in both KDE and GNOME and in other window managers I'll do it anyway.
