doing a simple search for "tablature editor linux" will show you some linux alternatives - maybe you don't need to get powertab working under wine... :wink:

I have a samba share set up and working and included in my /etc/fstab I would like to be able to mount this share as a normal user and also to be able to read/write to it. At present I can only mount it as root and it is read only. The entry in /etc/fstab is as follows: //livingstone/C /mnt/livingstone smbfs user,credentials=/etc/samba/auth.livingstone.paul 0 0 Any suggestions anyone?

OK - I have installed blackdonw 1.4 to see if it runs any better than Sun's VM I followed the instructions for installing the plugin - i.e. made a symbolic link to <JAVA_HOME>/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but now galeon cannot display java applets - it says it can't locate the plugin. I assumed (based on expereince with othe plugins) that galeon simply used themozilla plugins. Should the plugin have a specific name? Edit: never mind, I have returned to Sun's VM as I didn't notice any significant performance improvement with blackdown's - all work's well, if a little slowly :(

I figured I might have a go at this and have downloaded the kernel source and two patches (low latency and pre-empt. I have, however, two questions that I cannot find the answer to on the internet: 1) How do I actually apply the patches? :) As I say I have downloaded two, but they came with no documentation and I can't find any help on the net 2) If I've lost supermount (which I'm not too sad about) how do I go about switching it off to avoid the "not supported" error messages?

Sun's Java. Have blackdown ported 1.4 yet?

Thanks - already use fluxbox and have for ages. I will try and find out about optimising services though

Does anyone know where to get the source for the mandrake multimedia kernel? It was on contrib (I think) when I actually installed the kernel, but doesn't seem to be now. Also when I am recompiling the kernel, what kinds of things MUST not be modules - examples would be helpful. I want to try to make the leanest kernel that I can. Also, previous attempts to recompile the mandrake kernel have resutled in supermount not working - which surprised me as I was using a mandrake source package. How can I get round this?

I run Java software/applets quite a lot as my job is a technical trainer - primarily working with Java. I have discovered that on my desktop, running Java applications and applets simply seems to much for my system. Now, I am aware that Java can be a memory hog and, because of the VM, runs a little slowly - but with 128MB of RAM I should be able to load and run simple applets. Is there a way of optimising my system - short of buying more memory, which I actually can't afford to do - that will help with this problem. I am running the latest Multimedia kernel from textar

I read somewhere on this site (I can't find the post - just didd a search for it) where someone was asking about how much memory the Linux kernel could handle. The thread seemed to be suggesting that over a certaim amount of memory (256 or something like that) all memeory was imply used for caching - is this true? I must admit that this sounds a bit odd - so I hope someone is going to correct me. I do see that caching wouldbe very useful in restarting apps - but it also seems to me that running apps may be very memory hungry too

It probably is obvious - but it didn't occur to me I am using the es1371 driver - is this fully duplex?

Hmmm - it looks like realrekord isn't finished enough yet :( If I try to run a shceduled recording I am told that it's not implemented yet, and if I try a straight recording then I get audio via realplayer, but nothing is recorded. It looks like a good solution though - I'm not sure if it's not ready yet - or if I'm doing something wrong

Streamripper sounds like it is for MP3. I looked in contrib and plf and found realrekord in plf which may be a solution. I also need some way of setting what time it should start/finish recording

Turns out that I can record to a hard drive as I have a USB hard drive that I can mount very easily - I thought that it wouldn't work for some reason. It has to be via realplayer as this is the only format I can get these streams in - I can't listen to the rugby any other way that I am aware of

Is it possible to record audio that is streamed from the interent via something like reaplplayer? If so, can it also be recorded onto something other than my hard disk? I regularly listen to English Premiership Rugby via the internet and it would be quite helpful if I could sometimes record a game. The reason I ask about something other than my hard disk is simply that I don't have all that much space on my hard drive and I expect that 80+ minutes of audio would take up quite a bit fo space :D

I guess we're getting a little off topic - but it' my thread so who cares? It does annoy me the way porn popups can appear at almost any time - what if a little kid was looknig for game cheats? My wife was looking for something on the internet and, for the first time, fell foul of porn popups - this helped my case dramatically Glad you got it sorted with your girlfriend :)

Solved it - I looked on the internet and, while deliberately avoiding porn, I noticed that some people where saying that this only worked for them if they laoded into a saved game. I tried it and I appear to be one of those people

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success. Where is the RPM you found - I have searched for a yelp RPM and found nothing

I've just realised that my above edit probably doesn't notify anyone of change - look at my post and help me! :wink: Edit: Please

Whenever I try to run a help from a gnome app, gnome-help crashes. On further investigation this seems to be a yelp problem. Whenever yelp is run it complains about not being able to run yelp-base because of a no such file or directory error. I cannot find yelp base anywhere. Anyone able to shed some light on this?

I wondered about that - but I really don't know what files to adjust permissions for. Edit: plus - did you ever actually adjust any of the files on your computer? Where did you install the game - I have it in /usr/local/games/wolfenstein - is this the same for you? If so it seems unlikely to be a file permissions thing

AAARRGGHH - how frustrating! I have upgraded from 1.4 to 1.4.1 and I have also entered wolfsp +set sv_cheats 1 and it does not work for me. If I try to do it in the game using /sv_cheats 1 them I am told that sv_cheats is read only - why does it work for you but not for me?

You are running 1.33?

I did this exactly again this morning and it didn't work - sv_cheats is still set to 0. Is it possible that punkbuster is affectign the single player game - or is it purely a mp thing? I'd really like to get this working - especially as it seems possible and there isn't an obvious reason why it isn't working for me

I'm not married to you and I don't believe you either... :wink: That's OK - I don't really need you to. My wife knows me pretty well - so I think she does believe me

Hmmm - I tried exactly this and it didn't work - sv_cheats was still = 0 Perhaps I did something wrong - I'll try it again and post my results tomorrow
