Hey fellow linux users!!

Since a week I have my laptop fully running Fedora Core 6.

Fedora Core 6 comes with the "Sound Juice CD-Ripper" which I couldn't get to rip to MP3.

Since I have a PSP and I would love to rip my cd's to MP3....this is how I do it now:

 

Tools I use are:

 

- K3b (yeah the burning software)

you can get it by going into SU mode in the terminal and typing:

yum -y install k3b

yum -y search k3b mp3

 

After that's done, download and install this:

[/url][url=ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.ps...0-1mdk.i586.rpm]ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/carroll.cac.ps...0-1mdk.i586.rpm

 

After that is installed FEDORA CORE 6 will tell your there is 1 new update. install that, open up K3b.

Open the "Settings => Configure K3b" window and goto the CDDB settings.

Change it (if it isn't like that allready) to access the external cddb (for titles and such)

 

After that open a new AUDIO-CD project and in the upper-left navigator click your cd-rom/dvd-rom station where your Audio-cd is inserted in.

After that, select the tracks you wanna rip, goto "Projects => Convert Audiofiles"

Change the "WAVE" into "MP3 (lame)", choose a destination folder and your all set!!

 

Press the start button and let it run.

Hi All,

I have a Linux machine having static IP configuration ( without DHCP). And if this configuration is changed, should this information be updated in the DNS server?

 

In short, does Dynamic DNS make sense with static IP configuration?

 

Any comment in this regard is highly appreciated.

 

With Regards,

nsv

the lovely and talented k3b in action !

Hi there,

 

I sort of installed FF 2.0: it runs from the applications menu and the "web browser" button in the GUI, but if I run 'firefox' from the terminal, I still get version 1.08.

 

Here was my procedure:

 

Downloaded the tar.gz archive from firefox's site to /home/

Untarred to home:

cd

tar -xvzf firefox-2.0.tar.gz

 

then ran the firefox file in the directory

 

I also lost my bookmarks in the old version.

 

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

 

Thanks,

 

Nic

just keeping the forums up to date,

 

looks pretty cool too i think :)

Hello,

 

I ran a search for acpi=ht, but didn't get any hits on the forums. I'm hoping someone can help me solve a mystery.

 

I was having trouble reaching the network with FC4. I had already configured other machines just fine, so I was stumped. On booting up the eth0 would get an IP address just fine, and in the network configuration screen the eth0 was active. I went over the configuration again and again, but neither Firefox nor the update program could connect.

 

Then, using a suggestion from forums.fedoraforum.org/archive, I changed my grub config from this

 

title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)

root (hd0,1)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img

title Windows XP

rootnoverify (hd0,0)

chainloader +1

 

to this

 

title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)

root (hd0,1)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 acpi=ht

initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img

title Windows XP

rootnoverify (hd0,0)

chainloader +1

 

Now I can connect just fine. Great. Trouble is I don't know why. The other forum doesn't explain what acpi=ht is or how it fixed the problem. Can someone here help?

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Nic

When i installed fc6 it used my PCI NIC wich was defined as eth0, but after install i changed to my nforce on-board lan card wich is defined as eth1.

 

Now, every time I boot linux i have to type "ifup eth1" to get an ip from DHCP and be connected to internet. How can I fix this so it happens automagically? :)This is BTW a question I've been wondering for years so please help me someone.

When you finally discover Linux there is a rush of making it work for the first time:
