null Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 what am I doing wrong, or what do I need to change? I'm using grip with mdva 2006. On my previous distro (FC3 and FC4), grip ripped at an average of 4x to 9x on the same computer. I have it set on grip (cdparanoia) for the ripper. I think I was also using that back on FC.

devries Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I haven t installed grip right now so can t point you to the exact location but there is an option in grip that checks the rip quality. Just disable it and the speed will improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 ok, I'll check into that. Last night I disabled "extra paranoia" and the rip speed improved to 1.5x - not much, but a little better. Or maybe that's what you meant.... ?

solarian Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Maybe try ripperX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I'm pretty new to mandriva & urpmi.

solarian Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 (edited) It seems that: 1. The server is behaving strangely 2. You have to update the contrib repo My advice: Configure URPMI for another contrib server (there's a list at easy-urpmi) p.s. From time to time you have to update the repos any way, because new versions of packages are added and old ones removed Edited December 4, 2005 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 ok will do. before you replied, I also tried: #urpmi --wget ripperx but I got pretty much the same errors as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 naturally - wget accessed the same servers as are configured in your urpmi database (wget is a really cool terminal app for downloading files off internet, but nothing more) good luck!

null Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 well, I just tried wget cuz when I was googling, I found a few posts that mentioned using wget with urpmi sometimes works better than the default "curl"... anyway, I removed my former contrib source, added sunet.se instead, did urpmi ripperx and it installed fine.... thanks!!

null Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 I tried ripperx and I like it. Its like grip, but a littler simpler interface. It doesn't show the ripping speed, but it took 1:45 to rip a 2:16 song, which I calculate to approx. 1.5x, just like grip was doing. wonder if it has something to do with ide/scsi and/or dma...? I thought all that emulation stuff was not needed anymore with the newer kernels....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Yes, it appears that your problem isn't in Grip or ripperX Sorry, but I have no idea what that might be, let's wait for someone other to reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
