No, that looks pretty fine. Hmm. I think ubuntu and it's derivates ship with pulseaudio these days. It can cause some problems. Check the pulseaudio mixers with pavucontrol, and if that doesn't work you can try disabling it with /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop

Also ran sudo amixer set Master 100% unmute and sudo amixer set PCM 100% unmute. I get no sound, but when i put alsamixer master volume to 100% i get wicked feedback from my speakers. Good sign, but still no sound, anyone? I also get system beeps through my speakers. Something interesting, /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart returns Invalid Card number.

I'm looking to start running a Linux portable computer again, but have a software problem: right now I'm using Live Mesh to synchronize all of my files across multiple computers, and handle Remote Desktop to them. It's an extremely powerful tool: I can synchronize unlimited amounts of data across all my computers, and 5 gigs on online storage space. It also does remote desktop to any machine on my Mesh, using https and RDP, at the push of a button. The problem is it's Windows and Mac only. Is there a linux-compatible file sync solution out there that has those file-sync features? I can live without the remote desktop stuff as ssh-tunnels and vnc are a snap, but syncing at least 50 gigs of data is a must.

Mario posted:sed ordinarily works on single lines, so it doesn't see newline characters at all, but you can use the N command to append the next line to the current one, including the newline. Second, why the escaped parenthesis in the regex? i.e., \([^\n]\). I get the need to put the negated character class in parenthesis, to capture it in a numbered capture group, but why escaped? Won't that make it match a literal parenthesis character? Excuse my dumb questions, but I'm largely ignorant about how sed works, and the documentation is pretty dense at times (and way too sparse at others.)

I got bored the other day and switched my laptop over to Ubuntu Jaunty. It's been quite a while since I used a desktop Linux as my primary OS. RH 9 was the last time I was purely using Linux. So here's the issues I've got: * What's the current favorite photo manager? Jaunty's default F-Spot kind of sucks, and it seems to down-size everything I import from my camera when it copies them to the hard drive. * I'm sure it's been asked earlier, but which Jukebox app handles an Ipod the best? * Is there anything I can do with an RDP client to get it to display 32-bit color from the client? Every client I connect to says it won't support 24-bit color, and falls back to 16. When I specify "rdesktop -a 32", it falls back to 16 without the error.

Rsync is probably what you want, though I dunno if it works in a win32/linux environment.

Sounder posted:as was mentioned earlier, rsync also works in Windows. My one irk with it was that it wasn't automated: anytime I want to sync the folders I would have to manually execute a script. File synchronization apps like Dropbox and Live Mesh eliminate all that and make the sync instant and transparent. Cwrsync is aways what I use for this purpose if I need to rsync from a windows machine. It's a standalone windpows installer that runs as a service so I can sync files from a win32 machine (in my case for backups). Assuming your sync is in one direction, this will work nicely and should be very fast after the initial sync, especially with rsync 3.x. If you need to sync in both directions (files being changed on both sides) rsync won't work. Keito posted:Mount your computers using SSH/something similar. I don't know what this means, but rsync can operate over SSH to encrypt the traffic, as opposed to its built in protocol which runs unencrypted on TCP/873.

To sync bi-directionally with rsync you just need to run a script that will sync computer A to B and then B to A. The trick is knowing which computer to sync first. And what's the difference between running cwrsync and the default rsync package in cygwin as a service? I've used the latter before and it seemed to run fine.

Can some one suggest a quick backup solution? I have a hard disk that I plug in (as frequently as I can remember to) to make backups. I just use rdiff-backup, which is theoretically doing an incremental backup. This works fine, but my one big complaint is how slow it is. A 200gb partition, for example, seems to take hours. And that is with maybe 20-30gb of "fresh data", the rest has not changed. I guess it has to hash every single file no matter what and compare it to the current backup? I wonder if deleting the old backup and just copying all the data again would be just as fast? Would it be worth it to get an esata port/enclosure? Right now I just use an sata to usb adaptor.

Note the /'es though. You can also add --progress to show progress, which is always nice.

rdiff-backup uses rsync. What filesystem is the external drive? The incremental backup scheme I've seen uses hard links to link to unchanged files and I don't think they're supported with FAT32.

Kaluza-Klein posted:The external drive is ext3. Sure, the only thing I'm familiar with is a straight rsync method for use on the DNS-323 NAS device (http://forum.dsmg600.info/t2125-DNS-323-Rsync-Time-Machine!.html) and it handles incremental backups by using hard links... each dated folder looks like a whole new directory tree. I was just checking that the filesystem supported hard links figuring that rdiff-backup would use a similar method. So in other words I'm out of ideas.

---background Well Linux and I are doing our dance again. To keep things simple, I just need some help with Apache 2.2. (please note I am no Linux expert, I manage to stumble through every install coming out on top after DAYS of dicking around with it) Running CentOS 5 2.6.18-92.el5, and did a normal yum install of httpd and httpd-devel. The devel is the devil here. According to this tracker, http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2934 the apxs is all fuckered. I just need to install SCGI, and the install should be routine, but fails with: code:
I yum installed httpd to start with, so I yum removed it to tried a archived version from Apache site yet it has all kinds of dependacys. ---issue Please tell me how to install httpd and httpd-devel pre-2.2.3-22 from yum as I don't have the brain power to slap this together from sources. This is day 3 of trying to install a simple loving mod into my web server.

Anyone know if the b43 wireless drivers will ever support interference mitigation? I couldn't understand why my wireless kept cutting out randomly and after some massive googling I found out the open drivers don't support dealing with interference at ALL, which is pretty terrible for anybody that doesn't live on a farm. I don't get why Ubuntu defaults to b43 and b44 for Broadcom chipsets with such a massive feature being totally absent. Spent some time setting up good old ndiswrapper and the connection is much more stable, but I randomly have to take down the wireless interface and put it back up again because the driver will decide it hates me and stop working.

Complieling XMLRPC-C never works correctly (as far as I can tell, although I can make install it) or SCGI will not install due to the errors with apxs (see other post) and even if I do frankanstine this POS with other RPMs on the interweb, the drat webgui never ties into rtorrent. rTWi or rtgui would be nice, but I will take anything at this point.
