Re: mp3 players
Hi, to play mp3s i use xmms, which i love. It can use winamp skins. It used to be called X11Amp. xmms has a plugin that can record a track into a .wav file (disk writer plugin). I think it can write from any source it can read from (eg cd/mp3/wav/etc...)

Xine(.deb) DVD Playback
Hi, I have been using xine + libcss + xine_libcss_plugin to play dvds. The quality of playback wasn't too great compared to previous setups (about 4 months ago) so i tried to install the .deb version of xine, and in the process upgrade to testing. But once installed I've seen that there is no support for dvd playback in the debian version (e.g. no dvd button). Is this on purpose for legal reasons? And would have changing to the .deb format actually have improved the playback? Thanks, Hereward
Scanjet 5370c
Hi, Has anyone had success in setting up a parallel HP Scanjet 5370c scanner? I've found one site that says to use a patch called ppSCSI. Is this the best way? And is there anyway i can get to work as a parallel scanner, rather than have the hassel of doing scsi emulation? Thanks in advance, Hereward

seting up a gateway
Hi, Is there a gateway HOWTO? I found something along that lines but none of it applied to a debian system. Also what do i need a 2.4.6 kernel for it to work, am i right in thinking that it is different from 2.2.x? Thanks in advance, Hereward
Screwed up cursor under X
Hi, I'm running an ATi AGP Rage (pro?) card with a proview monitor, and X 3.3.6. Under X my mouse point, rather than being a normally arrow, is now a white long and thin rectangular box with a couple of vertical transparent lines passing through it, and it happens under all window managers. It moves around fine, but causes me difficulties when trying to do precision work! Any help would be appreciated, Hereward

strange error
I get this error when i do basic command line operations (eg 'ps'):
{isdn_ppp_unregister_compressor}
{isdn_ppp_unregister_compressor_R__ver_isdn_ppp_unregister_compressor}
Warning: /usr/src/linux/System.map does not match kernel data.
What does this mean, and does it make any problems, (anything to do with why

Gateway Bandwidth Control
Hi, I'm running a simple two machine network, with the main machine connected a ISDN line, and setup to be a gateway to the internet for the other. When only one machine is accessing the net it works at full speed (~7.2k/s) fine, but when I try to get both machines online at the same time, the second machine to access the net it is given about .5-1k/s, is there anyway of (auto?) allocating bandwidth to each connection (e.g. half and half)?

speech synthesis on-the-fly
--- I'm off list, please CC: --- Hi, I'm re-wiring a network and am trying to recreate a system which I read in "the story of ping"[1]. Basically you use a speech synthesiser to call out PING as loud as possible for every successful ping of another machine on the network.

I managed to get sed working on-the-fly by using ssed (super-sed). But I can't get festival working on-the-fly, calling out PING as they happen :( Has anyone got something like this working?

libxml2
Hi, I'm trying to compile a package that requires libxml2. According to dpkg it's installed and has dependancys on it, but when I try to ./configure the source of the package I'm installing it says that it can't find it (it is trying to search for xml2-config, but I only have xml-config supplyed by libxml1). I've tried symlinking xml-config to xml2-config it works on one programs ./configure, but the other tries using it and of course it chucks up the wrong version, and so it just says i need libxml2. So how do I get libxml2 to be reconized correctly with xml2-config installed? Thanks, Hereward

But bidwatcher doesn't when I press the "pull info from eBay now" button? When i try adding in an auction manually, it reports a "invalid auction number". The console reports this when starting up: Adjusting tDiif from -28841 by 1.52 Adjusting tDiif from -28842 by 1.54 Adjusting tDiif from -28842 by 1.54 Time Sync() time diff=28840 local time diff=28800 Does this mean anything?

Realistically though I think that > you're not going to get the actual rm file itself... but it might work Nah, wget doesn't recognize the protocol. The realplayer system is designed so that you can't download them, only watch them as a stream, frame by frame. But I'm sure there must be a, dare I say it, 'backdoor'. What about a modified version of realplayer that can record the stream to file? Hereward

If the file is avaliable through http, then it can be downloaded so, but the realserver protocal require a supported reader (ie http -> browser, rtsp -> realplayer). Hereward

iptables nat forwarding
Hi, Could someone please tell me why this command won't forward any www calls to 192.168.1.1 (firewall + gateway) to 192.168.1.2 (apache server). iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.2:80 What I can't figure is why that doesn't work, when the following command does work to forward all external ssh requests from the gateway, to the apache machine. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP -i ippp0 --dport 22 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.2:22 Thanks, Hereward -- GPG Public Key @ : http://www.zadok.uklinux.net/ : "Love is Hate.

I think you need a xmms plugin to do anything other than the basics (wav, mpg,
etc...). Debian had a couple of plugins, mostly visulisation I think. Don't
know where you can get others from, but you select them through
Options->Preferences. Try http://www.xmms.org/ as I'm sure they will have loads
of links.

I think the problem is that dpkg only lists the files from the package list when updated via dselect. Or alternativly you could use "apt-cache search " which would use the apt package list.

Beam make a huge point of making sure you know that you use the dish for incoming _and_ outgoing, and that there are no telephone costs. They say that systems that need a phone line makes you have to live with 3km of your exchange, which in a case like mine, in a middle of a field, is the advantage of using beam. Thanks, Hereward
