If you use GNOME, you can also use soundjuicer to do it. You can easily extract the tracks in FLAC format (lossless compression) or OGG vorbis (lossy, CD quality). It's the simplest software to use in the world.

It could previously (Mandrake 10.1) extract also to mp3, but I don't know how to do it now (Mandriva 2005 LE). <googling>Ok, it seems the instructions to encode in mp3 were here, but i can't reach the website: http://www.emcken.dk/weblog/archives/99-MP...und-Juicer.html </googling>Don't forget that ogg quality is better, but not every brand of MP3 player can read OGG files. But as it's an open format, you're sure you will always be able to read it.

I would suggest removing your sources

updating the sources (with nothing or just one new one if you must)

uninstalling urpmi

rpm --rebuilddb

installing urpmi

updating the source or no source

rpm --rebuilddb

add sources

 

you'll find the rpm/urpmi files in

/etc/urpmi

/var/lib/

/var/cache

be careful messing with them!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

tried this today, doesn't work.... i'm desperated...

1) uninstall and re-install urpmi

2) run a file system check.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

1) didn't work, still the same output. I removed it with rpm -e --nodeps urpmi

2) had no problem with my filesystem for a long time...

I think some urpmi files "lock" the way it knows if it is installed or not, by i don't know wich files urpmi uses... any idea ?

Try the following commands:

 

rpm -e --nodeps libgtk+2.0_0-devel

urpmi libgtk+2.0_0-devel

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

As I expected, it doesn't work... The problem is with urpmi, not rpm... it's poiintless to tell rpm to uninstall something it knows it's not installed...

Thanks for the try, anyway... Any other ideas ?

Hi everyone...

Already submitted this in a few places, but had no response : you're my last chance

Hope this time someone finds the solution...

The problem :

I use mdk10.1 official with all updates...

There are many packages I can't install... urpmi tells me they're already there, rpm tells they're not. I've even rebuilt my rpm base with rpm --rebuilddb, but it didn't resolved the problem... So please, if you can give me a hand on this, i would be very grateful... He'res an example with libgtk+2.0_0-devel, but i also have the problem when trying to install anjuta

[root@localhost luis]# urpmi libgtk+2.0_0-devel
Everything is already installed
[root@localhost luis]# rpm -q libgtk+2.0_0-devel
The package libgtk 2.0_0-devel is not installed

[root@localhost root]# rpm -qa | grep libgtk+
libgtk+-x11-2.0_0-2.4.9-9mdk
libgtk+1.2-1.2.10-40mdk
libgtk+2.0_0-2.4.9-9mdk
libgtk+1.2-devel-1.2.10-40mdk

[root@localhost root]# urpmf gtkversion.h
libgtk+2.0_0-devel:/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkversion.h
[root@localhost root]# ls /usr/include/gtk-2.0/
gdk-pixbuf/ gdk-pixbuf-xlib/

As you can see, I even do not have a the /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/ directory, so this is an urpmi problem... but i don't know how to tell him he's wrong... Is there some kind of files that give him a "memory" of what is installed and what is not, that would cause it not to check what rpm says ?

Thanks for your help, i'm deperate...

I was not looking for something special, but even if i knew that this website had little update, I sometimes get back there just to see if something had improved... I found that strange that all this information had disapeared that way, with no mention about it either on the club or on mandraklinux.com

Could you please tell me where exacly these pages have been mirrored ?

Thanks in advance !

mandrakeuser.org (not "mandrakeusers") has disapeared... it now redirects to the mandrakeclub... anyone knows what happened ?

Hi everyone,

You will find Mandrake 10.0 Official Edition ISOs on the proxad server and on the club-internet server.

The torrent file is also available here

Though, the torrent is still of poor quality, since ISO's availability has not been announced on Mandrakesoft's website (they'll do it tomorrow, I think). Torrent's quality will improve tomorrow, when more people will start using it. And remember to keep your bittorrent client running after having completed the download, to help spreading the files faster !

Happy download

tyme, Mandrake isos have just been released today...

You can find them on this ftp and find the torrent here

Though, the torrent is still of poor quality, since its availability has not been announced on Mandrakesoft's website. I think it will improve tomorrow.

Have a nice download

I've done a full update 3 days ago, no changes... A friend of mine suggested me that I could try recording through the "line in" input, to see if the problem is with the microphone input... Will try this tonight.

Hi everyone !

Here's my problem : I wanted to use gnomemeeting, and installed it (V1.0.2), but I have a problem at the sound setting in the wizard. It tells me ALSA is prefered if available, but i'm only proposed OSS and Quicknet, but no ALSA ! Ok, I tried OSS, even knowing I use the ALSA driver, just to see if it woks. What happens during the sound test, is that I can talk in the microphone, hear myself in the headphones when talking, but I don't hear mylself 4 seconds after as is the test !

I've investigated, and it seem that I can't record the microphone sound. Here's what I have done to find the problem cause :

1. I've checked my ALSA config

- The alsa service is running

- The sound card (sound blaster 128) is detected and the snd-ens1370 driver is used (it's an ALSA driver, the OSS one is ens1370)

My modprobe.conf file (i'm running kernel 2.6.3-7)

alias agpgart intel-agp
alias sound-slot-0 snd-ens1370
options bttv radio=0 card=39 gbuffers=6
alias eth0 8139too
install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe usb-storage; /bin/true
install snd-ens1370 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-ens1370 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-uhci; /bin/true
remove snd-ens1370 { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-ens1370

2. I've checked the write rights on the peripheral :

[luis@liberforce luis]$ ll /dev/dsp
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root root 9 mai 13 23:17 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp
[luis@liberforce luis]$ ll /dev/sound/dsp
crw-rw----  1 luis audio 14, 3 jan  1  1970 /dev/sound/dsp

I'm the owner and have write access on /dev/sound/dsp, so it seems ok....

3. I've tried to record myself using gnome-sound-recorder, but this one hangs when I click the "record" button, and I can't record anything !

[luis@liberforce luis]$ gnome-sound-recorder
GConf audio sink not found, using osssink

** (gnome-sound-recorder:17684): WARNING **: Unrecoverable syntax error while parsing pipeline
DEBUG: gstgconf: error parsing pipeline (null) ! audioconvert ! audio/x-raw-int,rate=22050,channels=1 ! wavenc name=enc
pas d'element "null"

** ERROR **: Could not construct pipeline
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)

Now, I don't know where to look !!!!! It seems I have 2 problems : I can't record myself, and I can't have Gnomemeeting see that i'm using alsa, I don't know if the two problems are related.

Here is my configuration :

- Mandrake 10.1 (cooker)

- Kernel 2.6.3-7

- Gnome 2.6

- Soundcard Soundblaster 128

If someone could help me, I woul be very grateful

Thanks in advance !

Just give a look to the mp3/ogg howto on :

http://www.mp3-howto.com/mp3-howto-9.html

And when I click on a folder it opens a new window instead of just switching in the current window, which is extermely annoying. Anyone got any ideas, or is this how the new nautilus is SUPPOSED to be???

That's the idea : all your windows retain their appearance. You can though open a window an close its parent at the same time to avoid having too many windows displayed, using shift+left-double-click, or double-middle-click.

You also have a button on the low-left corner : with the name of the directory. Click on it an you will have a list that allows you to open any parent window easily.

There's also a menu that allows to close all the parents of the current window, to clean things.

And finally the CTRL + L shortcut displays a popup to enter a path to open.

I always hated the explorer-like "browsing view", its sooo inconvenient to copy or move files (especially across a network). New nautilus is really powerful, once given a little habit, and gives a very intuitive and clean interface for newbies. Now with spatial nautilus, I feel happy again ! :D

you didn't understand : the cooker is now functionning as the "update" media that was previously (for mdk 9.1, mdk 9.2) used for bugfixes.

No new functionnalities are currently added, only bugfixes. So, as long as cooker is working that way, gnome 2.6 can be put into the mdk 10.0, it would screw up their "quality goal". I think we can expect gnome 2.6 in cooker only after the release of mdk 10.0 Official, when it will be "real" cooker, (meaning new features and not update), and after that, it will only be shipped in mdk 10.1 CE...

You can also use easyurpmi on urpmi.org :

1. you remove you 9.2 media using urpmi.removemedia (man urpmi.removemedia)

2. you add the mdk 10 Official Edition media provided by easy urpmi (or the ones on the mdk Official Edition CD)

3. urpmi urpmi (will update the urpmi tool)

4. urpmi --auto-select (will update you to 10.0 Official)

I think it's less dangerous than trying the upgrade version booting from the CD. You keep more control.

As cooker wil be turned into the mandrake official edition, it will not have gnome 2.6 for a long moment, I think.

So the best way is to install it from the sources, as decribed in gnome.org, or find the rpms for gnome 2.6 (from rpmfind, for example).

I tried to find the rpms, but it's a long process, because it seems there's no official mirror with the gnome 2.6 rpms.

Could someone who downloaded it make an URPMI public source (using genhdlist), to help users wanting to try gnome 2.6 ?

Thanks in advance !
