RE: Graphics files

I have Kubuntu Dapper 6.06 AMD64 at home and have loaded/ran Easyubuntu in order to get added repos, multimedia, etc. I have system sounds working and I get audio and video from a DVD playing in the drive, but .mp3 files give no sound when played in Amarok. Crweb had me install some lib stuff that should have added support, but "w32codecs" said it had no installation target, like it had changed it's name. He linked me to a .deb, which wouldn't install because it was meant for i386 and not x64. I'll check out the following links tonight to see if that sheds more insight. >-----Original Message----- >From: Jason D.

Graphics files

Not sure where to start with this, but at least I am NOT high jacking another thread!!! (grin) I have been having trouble viewing media files in Email. I get a lot of stuff from friends and family that has audio or video files, and I would like to be able to play an occasional MP3 file but none of that seems to work and I can't find any reference to what works well now. I upgraded to FC4 a few months ago and have been too busy to do a full investigation so a few pointers would be really helpful. I am running the Mozilla suite for Email and surfing and have installed flash and adobe, but not sure what works best for audio and video. What is everyone using these days and what is the best way to install it so I don't spend days buggering something else up? .//

[announcement] kansas city asterisk user group
by Kyle Sexton 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

I would like to announce the start of a new asterisk user group here in Kansas City. Right now it's primarly just a mailing list, but if there is enough interest we will probably start doing meetings and the like. You can find information about the group at http://www.kcaug.net/. If you are completely unfamilier with Asterisk here's a snippet from asterisk.org: Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on Linux, BSD and MacOSX and provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does voice over IP in many protocols, and can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware. Features Asterisk provides Voicemail services with Directory, Call Conferencing, Interactive Voice Response and Call Queuing. It has support for three-way calling, caller ID services, ADSI, SIP and H.323 (as both client and gateway). Check the Features section for a more complete list. Go ahead and sign up on the list if you are at all in running asterisk at home or where you work! Thanks, Kyle

Wow, I got a LOT of responses on this. The server is supposed to be picked up tomorrow by the first responder. If he decides he doesn't want it, I'll start going down the list of people that responded. :) Rich -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: rcedelman(a)comcast.net > Here's the specs: IBM Netfinity 5500 > Dual PIII-Xeon 500Mhz Processors (Quad Capable) > 2GB RAM > 6 9GB U160 SCSI Drives > IBM ServeRAID RAID Adapter > 20/40GB DLT Tape Drive > CDROM > Dual power supplies > > Only Caveat: Server weights approximately 110lbs, and whoever wants it must come > pick it up in Olathe. :) > > Email me with questions, pickup dates/times, etc. > > Rich > _______________________________________________ > Kclug mailing list > Kclug(a)kclug.org > http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug

Speaking as the guy everyone here seems to be going to for authoritative instructions, I am entirely and completely thrilled with Andrew's work on the kc.pm.org web site, especially with the way it has been refactored to not require continuous maintenance. -- David L Nicol E-mail is legendarily opaque to nuance and it becomes less so only with continuous honest feedback.

The mailing list described at kc.pm.org still works (i believe it is subscriber-post and archived at GMANE) although the web site itself is so old the spiders have died in their webs. We met at planet sub in June and discussed meeting again in July.

Does anyone know if the KC Ruby Users Group has a mailing list still up? It looks like their website is basically just the announcement of a workshop I'm guessing happened last week, and the links go to other websites. I went through all the links google returned and found an old link to the mailing list. It seems their rails application is not running properly, however.\ Thanks Josh

That is one of the reason I got away from Gentoo is compile from source all the time take hours on end to update the system and something always breaking or possibility of breaking was much higher than OpenBSD. I don't care about all the "speed" gained if any at all with CHOST/CFLAGS I just want it to install and go that is why I use packages and rest is compiled ports. (though if you want Java installed it took like 14 hours to compile from ports which kinda suck) Not saying OpenBSD is perfect in there pkg manager, but it works for me. And pkg management has been much more stable with OpenBSD over Gentoo. Also not everything is the lastest and greatest version of a software, usually newest as of release and updates for security. I know a lot of this wouldn't matter (compiling from source) as much if I had a faster desktop machine (currently use a Dual 700Mhz/1GB RAM as my desktop).
