I have never tried to do this, but according to the Audacity man page: "Audacity is primarily an interactive, graphical editor, not a batch-processing tool. Whilst there is a basic batch processing tool it is experimental and incomplete. If you need to batch-process audio or do simple edits from the command line, using sox or ecasound driven by a bash script will be much more powerful than audacity." It seems that sox will do what you want, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoX -- Bob Cox. Stoke Gifford, near Bristol, UK. Please reply to the list only. Do NOT send copies directly to me.

The problem was revealed by applying the verbosity option to
cdeboostrap which revealed some conflict trouble with rsyslog with old
syslogd. Running the following fixed my problem:
$ sudo cdebootstrap -v --allow-unauthenticated --exclude=rsyslog sid
temp http://localhost/sid

According to merriam webster (m-w.com), which by the way helps greatly non
english speakers because provides sound to words, disconnect as a verb goes
back to 1770; as a noun to 1976
I've never heard of "a disconnect". It is the opposite of
connect.

"dismount")

One example is that according to modern rules the classics of the language
would get F's in standard language tests, because they used long sentences, not
bullets, etc. Modern education doesn't realize that complex thoughts require
complex sentences (hence the use of symbols in mathematics to compress ideas).

their speeches, which tells much.

The confusion of verbs and nouns shows the confusion in the mind of the
speakers (in other historically and culturally connected languages the
distinction remains).
If we divide the pie in two pieces we can see the divide. When we then proceed
to disconnect the two pieces we observe the disconnect, and if we try to
reverse the process and attempt to connect the pieces, will obtain a connect.
After thinking a little our think wanders, so we decide that whatever decide
has been previously made may not have been right.
We could continue this chain of thoughts, and after a while we will realize (or
come to the realize) that something is not right.

You'll need to do more investigation into that "somehow". The proper way to set your locale is during your session/shell initialization. If your remote administrator is intentionally breaking that, your best fix is an attempt as educating said administrator. That said, I'm not sure how an administrator could break that.

I have recommended them to others and as far as I know, they have been very happy with them as well. I have a 2100 and I travel quite a bit with it plus use it frequently at home. The great thing about these laptops is that I have never really had a problem with drivers in any of the Linux distros I have tried. In some cases not all of the drivers are present at install, but they are available for Linux. I had to track down a few drivers for Slackware, but Ubuntu 8.10 required no extra drivers or configuration after install. I am not 100% sure about the other models, but all the fancy compiz features work really nicely on the 2100. Just my 2 cents.

If your applications talk to each other a lot, chances are you will see an increase in speed when they don't have to go out to the LAN. You say your applications are Memory intensive and this will probably have the biggest impact. If the application is greedy and just uses all of the memory it can get its hands on, then you will probably see a decrease in performance as the instances of the applications will fight. If the application uses a set amount of memory (eg 2GB) and just constantly read/writes to that portion, then you probably won't notice a difference. When dealing with applications across multiple systems/cores it is very important to determine exactly what your overhead and constraints are first before trying to "upgrade" the system. A good example is a cluster I worked on a few years ago. It started out as five P3 500Mhz boxes. When we upgraded to fifteen Athlon 1.2Ghz systems, our application slowed to a crawl. The cross-talk on the LAN connection was killing the app. We temporarily configured just 2 of the Athlon systems and got better performance then either of the previous configurations while we recoded the app to better deal with scalability. If you can identify where the applications bottlenecks and strengths are, you will be in a much better position to know how hardware upgrades will affect your results.

Which, if you're confused by the one-liner, means:
1) Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and any files in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to replace "etch" with "sid" and "stable"
with "unstable." This will change the package manager's idea of where
to get packages, and what versions are supposed to be current.
2) Run "aptitude update" to have aptitude download the new list of
"current" software packages.
3) Run "aptitude install aptitude apt dpkg" to install new versions of
the package management system.
4) Run "aptitude full-upgrade" to kick off a system-wide distribution upgrade.
You probably don't want to do this without some preparation and
backup, as things can wind up broken during a dist-upgrade no matter
how careful you are. Several people (myself included) have had
problems with perl or with locales not upgrading perfectly, leaving
the system in a hampered state. If you're going to do a distribution
upgrade, you want to make sure you'll have time to fix any such
problems that arise, and resources to help you do so (like a startup
disk in case the box doesn't come up, or a second computer for
googling in case you manage to disable your internet access.)
Don't do this right before bedtime the day before your important
presentation in the morning, or when you have a major project due the
next day, etc.
Good luck!

I'm not sure what exactly causes the problem. I talked to the kernel people, but they suggested something on the chipset/disk/cable side. Technicians said that it's possible that this happens because of static electricity, but still without evidence it's only suggested.

Yes, I have put in my .asoundrc long time ago following entries to have a
duplex device using the alsa docs and different forumes. This I did because
time ago the flash player was playing only at 44100Hz and alsa was
configured at 48000. So I played with it pretty long to understand what was
the issue and did this configuration. I'm not that sure if everything is
fine there, but it seems to work for me.
# Allow mixing of multiple output streams to this device
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
# ipc_perm 0660
# ipc_key_add_uid true
# slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0" # you cannot use a "plug" device here, darn.
period_time 0
period_size 1024 # must be power of 2

#format "S32_LE"
#periods 128 # dito.
rate 44100 # with rate 8000 you *will* hear, 44100
# if ossmix is used :)
}
# bindings are cool. This says, that only the first
# two channels are to be used by dmix, which is
# enough for (most) oss apps and also lets
# multichannel chios work much faster:
bindings {
0 0 # from 0 => to 0
1 1 # from 1 => to 1
}
}
# Allow reading from the default device.

ipc_key 2048
# ipc_perm 0660
# ipc_key_add_uid true
slave.pcm "hw:0"
bindings {

1 1
}
}
It's fun to play with alsa if you have time bad weather outside and boring
tv or a woman around doing her own kind of things ;-)

At least for now, once it's release, it will become 'stable', and testing will point to the future release.

Unexpected loss of font (LucidaTypewriter) in Gnome under Lenny
For some time I've been using LucidaTypewriter in gnome-terminal. I recently replaced my video card and something that I did (dpkg- reconfigure on xserver-xorg or something else) caused GNOME apps to no longer see the Lucida Typewriter font. For example, gnome-terminal no longer lists the font as being available, and it renders text using another font although its setting is for LucidaTypewriter. I know that the font exists, as it is listed by xlsfonts and my xterm setup uses it. Strangely enough, if I run gnome-terminal remotely on a host running etch, it uses the correct font and shows that it is available. In my understanding of things, the server provides the font, so this mystifies me. I have verified that the problem exists using the default gnome setup (I created a user with no previous gnome usage and saw the same problem). Does anyone have an idea of what might have gone awry?

Unstable and testing can go through quite a bit of churn just after release, so It might have too many bugs during that time for you.

OT Internet Radio Reception Program
I ordered an Aluratek AIRJ01F as a Christmas present for a grandson who sticks with Windows XP. My understanding is that this device when plugged in to a usb port automaticly loads a program which provides access to 13,000 internet radio stations with scan options to find various types of music. Curious, I have tried google and apt-cache searches for something similar for linux without locating any matches. Of course mplayer and similar packages allow me to connect to streams from stations I know so the difference is only the problem of identifying 13,000 posible streams and some information about their characteristics. Someone must have done a lot of work? Perhaps the gadget would work with wine? If not maybe my grandson will tell me if he finds a particularly interesting station.

AFAICT, cinelerra is available from debian-multimedia.org (please try to use a mirror in your sources.list), but only for Lenny and Sid. If you are on Etch then you might have to compile it yourself, which will probably be a pain in the neck because it depends on some libraries that are themselves not in Debian. -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yeah, after seeing the other replies on the thread, I recognize that I was incorrect. That said, the time they are identical will only be a few days at most. There are currently packages that are only being kept out of testing due to the freeze. It won't be the best time to be running "testing", but the standard protections for testing will still be in effect. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bs...@volumehost.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.org/ \_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

phone simens ME45 and obexftp via USB
Good time. I try to put some files on my phone by obexftp via USB , but it can put only some bytes and then "connection failed". But it can listen files and read it. Also , after each time of connection to phone i need to replug it , because obexftp failed to connect again. My system is on notebook , i've tried any versions of obexftp - stable , unstable & 0.22 from source , and udev - also stable and unstable. In Windows with "siemens data sute" i can put any files and without replugging phone.

Only a few hours, actually. The next britney run after the release will flood testing with hundreds, if not thousands of new and updated packages that had been kept back during the freeze.

Outside of the debian-multimedia packages (which I would recommend) there's a few other possible repositories, this one for instance has given good results for 64bit systems : http://giss.tv/~vale/debian64/ But I would definitely stick with debian-multimedia, and as Florian Kulzer said building from sources is really not an easy option with Cinelerra... Out of curiosity I have tested Openmovieeditor following your question, which is available in Debian http://packages.debian.org/lenny/openmovieeditor saving you the hassle of adding debian-multimedia to your sources. It has worked very well doing exactly what you want: adding some still images in the beginning of a 800M video, wrapping up some text on top of that, and then rendering everything in mpeg video and audio. So it's worth a try if you can't cope with Cinelerra installation and not-so-friendly gui...

You could stick with 'testing' and delay upgrading for a while, although you'd miss any security fixes in lenny for that period. You also need to consider whether you prefer daily medium-sized upgrades or one massive one, where a problem might be more difficult to isolate. > > -- > > Please reply to this list only.

Well, I was hoping that the new problems would be fixed in a few weeks time after they arise. So I was imagining I could skip them if I stay with Lenny during that while or not upgrade at all. Though upgrading daily has its own advantages, as you alluded. ->HS -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
