  4. My Sad Story With Mandriva...

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted · Edited by Greg2

    Open your Konqueror and in the search bar type /mnt and hit enter.

    Do you see a windows directory? If so, look for your files you need and copy it to your ~/home on your Linux partition, then open K3b and burn it on a CD.

     

    Edit: I see your using Gnome so instead of Konqueror use Nautilus, and instead of K3b use Gnomebaker.

  13. Gentoo Nut UPS [solved]

    in Other Linux and Unix Distributions

    Posted

    From syslog

    ay  4 11:34:01 localhost rc-scripts: Failed to start UPS drivers!
May  4 11:34:01 localhost rc-scripts: ERROR:  cannot start upsd as upsdrv could not start

    A quick search shows that your driver should be newhidups.

     

    So check for a ups.conf, upsd.conf file and be sure that the driver is 'driver = newhidups'

  18. Telnet

    in Security

    Posted

    Just use the gui software management... search for and install telnet-client-krb5-.

     

    Do the same for the openssh packages you need, or want installed.

  19. Upgrading to Firefox 2.0

    in Software

    Posted

    If you follow these instructions: Software installation , you will be able to install it with your gui package manager or urpmi.

     

    I don't think so. :) Doesn't work. There is no package available for the current version of Firefox as far as I can see. And trying to install any other way--including urpmi--fails.

    The latest stable version for Linux is 2.0.0.3, and mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.3-2mdv2007.1 is in the repos.

     

    If your using 2007, mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.1-4mdv2007.0 is in the repos.

  21. Fun with Festival

    in Command Line, Kernel and Programming

    Posted

    I should have said, both the .wav and festival sounds the same on my system.

     

    Anyway, if you install, or have installed lame... I have found a toy for you (I know you like php),:

    <?php
// define the temporary directory
// and where audio files will be written to after conversion
$tmpdir = "/tmp";
$audiodir = "/change/to/your/path";

// if the Text-To-Speech button was click, process the data
if (isset($_POST["make_audio"])) {
 $speech = stripslashes(trim($_POST["speech"]));
 $speech = substr($speech, 0, 1024);
 $volume_scale = intval($_POST["volume_scale"]);
 if ($volume_scale <= 0) { $volume_scale = 1; }
 if ($volume_scale > 100) { $volume_scale = 100; }
 if (intval($_POST["save_mp3"]) == 1) { $save_mp3 = true; }

 // continue only if some text was entered for conversion
 if ($speech != "") {
// current date (year, month, day, hours, mins, secs)
$currentdate = date("ymdhis",time());
// get micro seconds (discard seconds)
list($usecs,$secs) = microtime();
// unique file name
$filename = "{$currentdate}{$usecs}";
// other file names
$speech_file = "{$tmpdir}/{$filename}";
$wave_file = "{$audiodir}/{$filename}.wav";
$mp3_file  = "{$audiodir}/{$filename}.mp3";

// open the temp file for writing
$fh = fopen($speech_file, "w+");
if ($fh) {
  fwrite($fh, $speech);
  fclose($fh);
}

// if the speech file exists, use text2wave
if (file_exists($speech_file)) {
  // create the text2wave command and execute it
  $text2wave_cmd = sprintf("text2wave -o %s -scale %d %s",$wave_file,$volume_scale,$speech_file);
  exec($text2wave_cmd);

  // create an MP3 version?
  if ($save_mp3) {
	// create the lame command and execute it
	$lame_cmd = sprintf("lame %s %s",$wave_file,$mp3_file);
	exec($lame_cmd);
	// delete the WAV file to conserve space
	unlink($wave_file);
  }

  // delete the temp speech file
  unlink($speech_file);

  // which file name and type to use? WAV or MP3
  $listen_file = (($save_mp3 == true) ? basename($mp3_file) : basename($wave_file));
  $file_type = (($save_mp3 == true) ? "MP3" : "WAV");

  // show audio file link
  $show_audio = true;
}
 }
} else {
 // default values
 $speech = "Hello there!";
 $volume_scale = 50;
 $save_mp3 = true;
}
?>

    please note that I did not write this... but it works. :)
