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.

I was thinking of trying to write such a thing but do not understand
Steinberg's code well enough. It is "non-free" which I guess is why it was
taken out. I want it back :-)
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depends on a very outdated version of libjack.
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

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!

Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich

einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.

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:

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.

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.

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.
