gripe about grip

grip won't work as a normal user, it says that the permissions of the orbit folder are wrong, and it cannot access the cdrom. And in su it only will rip and encode about 1/2 of a cd and then it says destination folder full, which I don't understand, cuase I have about 100 gigs free.

not sure on how to make the program run with normal user, but if it's complaining about disk space under root profile, problably your / partition (mp3 dir) is not big enough to store wav and mp3 files.

Ok, for the cdrom - edit /etc/fstab and make fsure that 'user' is one of the options for the cdrom, so that users can access the drive.

 

You need to change the permissions of your target directories so that grip can write wavs and the final ogg or mp3 files to those directories (grip automatically checks for permissions when it starts up):

# chmod 777 -Rvf /directory

 

Also, under the configuration tab, there are two directories involved (unless you assign the same one) - one for ripping the initial wav file and the target where your mp3 / ogg will be put. So make sure both directories are set to what you need them to be.
