Looks like k3b is hanging after finishing ripping an audio cd to flac.
Doing a "ps -ef |grep flac" shows that the external flac child-process it invokes has ended.
This was working prior to BETA1, though I'm not sure if it was the k3b updates in BETA1 or anything subsequent that broke it.
update:
Found a similar report on Ubuntu forums for 10.04 but using the lame encoder. As k3b used the 'external encoder plugin" for both lame and flac it looks like the same issue and it's clearly not slackware specific.
Which ways do you use and on what settings do you rip audio cd's to preserve the best fidelity?I installed rubyripper but the multitude of options and formats is a bit baffling for a noob. Basically I want a rip thats closest to the actual CD and not a wav file.
first of all: I am not sure, if this is the right forum, as I don't know, if it is Slackware-relatedm, or if it is a general thing affecting other distros with KDE, as well. If the latter is the case, please let me know, where to post this (Linux Software or Linux Desktop forum?). BTW, I am on Slackware64-13.1 (stable). Currently, I am trying to copy all my music CDs on a harddisk. I thought, this would be a very simple thing to do, but whatever I do I run into another issue.
IIRC, we had this same problem with VLC a version or two ago, but it was with Xfce. Now in KDE 4.9.5, VLC 1.1.6*, will freeze if you click on, "Media" then "Open File." However, if you click on "Media" and pick a selection off of the "Recent Media" list, it plays said media just fine.
I have a small Slackware gatway/web server/mail server. Few days ago I upgraded it to 13.1 and from this morning I have the following problem:
After restart the server works for 15 minutes (htop showed max uptime of 15 minutes 15seconds) and than it hangs (or at least the ssh/web/imap connections are lost)
I have checked all logs but there is no problem!
Neither in syslog, nor in messages. The inittab is set to runstate 3 ...
Again when I was working under Xfce system hangs up. Earlier I had similar problems but under KDE so I blamed KDE for that. I am sure that there is something wrong with an access to external input devices. Some kind of a broken connection. I am using a USB keyboard but the same happened with PS/2 keyboard. Two flashing leds, I guess, indicate that device is no longer supported by the system. The only hope for an access to the system is via external wired connection. The other possibilities, I am thinking of, are hardware problems with PCI-bus or a virus affecting on a hardware level.

My audio is at a very low level and would like to improve that.
I have been using slackware for quite some time now and love installing software in it. Since you get to know whats actually going into your system adn all. Anyways I have been trying to download and install Rosegarden all day now. I installed all the dependencies listed here:
ladspa_sdk dssi liblo liblrdf
[code]....
i have to physically stop it because my computer hangs up so bad and it sits like that for hours! Granted this is Rosegarden 10.04.1 but i have also installed 10.04.2 under my downloads section and ran into the same problem. Now i know that slack 13 dropped QT3 and went to QT4. Rosegarden 10.04.2 was supposed to run on QT4 but i get the same code and the same hang up every single time. No matter what version i try to install. I only tried 10.04.1 thinking that maybe it would work on the slack 13 kernel since thats the number that was for this build in slackbuild.org and 10.04.2 was in the 13.1 tree but neither of them install and just hang up on the computer. Is it a qt3 to a qt4 issue?
I made some hardware upgrades today: installed a new video card, a new CPU cooler, and a DVD burner. Everything seemed fine, but every 10-15 minutes the computer just freezes. Freeze is actually the wrong word since I can still move the mouse's cursor, but it has no effect. Keyboard input is useless and I just have to reboot. On the 3rd reboot fsck checked the root partition and made some changes.
I have checked system/CPU temperature to see if maybe the cooler wasn't working right and checked it's mounts. Everything there is great.
The system hangs whether I'm using the burner or not. (It's an ASUS)
The hangs seem to happen when scrolling a window or changing desktops, but I'm constantly doing something to that effect so it's hard to say if that's the cause.
The card is GALAXY Geforce 240GT. I've never used a Galaxy card so I'm leaning towards that, and have gone back to the old Geforce 9400 in the meantime, but while I'm waiting to see what happens, I was wondering if maybe the filesystem getting modded in the fsck check might point to a filesystem error causing the hangs, or if it seemed more likely that the filesystem was corrupted by the hangs.
After some idle time Slackware hangs up/freezes. When, for an example, i turn on music i can hear it on idle time but after some time music still plays but i'm losing picture (monitor detects no signal), num lock is locked, led on keyboard are turned on but won't turn off while pressing num lock. I've switched off power saving options in Slackware and on bios setup.
My spec is:
X4 620 (without overclocking) AMD 760G (Radeon HD 3000) Catalyst 11.5 for Radeon graphic.
BTW - computer works fine with Windows. Also, with Slackware i can work for an hours, many hours and everything is fine but as soon as i leave it for some amount of time = it hangs/freezes. There is something wrong with hibernation. Not always computern is turned off correctly. TV is switched off, slackware logged off but i hear drives working and cooler fans. It should be switched off completly.
I have installed the 13.1 usbboot.img to a usb stick and tried to boot up an acer aspire one aod751 but it hangs when it come to the onboard webcam.I am guessing that there is no driver for this webcam.There is no way to disable the usb cam in the bios setup.Is there a command that can be given at boot so that there is no attempt to load the driver for this webcam?
I've been using wicd since starting out with 13.0 and it works flawlessly when using three different WPA wireless networks and a couple of wired networks. But, every time I get on a virgin train and try and connect to the internet via the open wireless network, wicd just hangs at the dhcp stage. If I stop wicd and edit rc.inet1.conf to contain this:
I have just installed slack-13.1 on an acer aspire one netbook from a usb stick by booting the install kernel with noudev. I was able to do a complete install including lilo but upon rebooting my boot hangs when encountering my webcam.I see enough info to note the id as 0c45:62c0. This is a microdia webcam which I may be able to do something about later but in the first instance I'd like to be able to boot my system. The bios is very basic and there is no way to disable devices.
I am unable to complete the installation of Slack 13.0 on a new machine with Intel DH55HC motherboard and Intel Core i5 750 processor. The installation proceeds smoothly until the 3'rd CD and then hangs at the FONTCONFIG UPDATE stage. The hung process is apparently rescan-scsi-bus which reaches this stage
"Scanning host 6 channels 0 for SCSI target IDs .... "Scanning for device 6 0 0 0... "NEW:
It is not possible to kill this process even with "kill -9". I have to kill the parent process which is Slack setup, so the installation is incomplete. There is another recent thread on this issue [URL] but it did not resolve my problem. How to correct or bypass this difficulty (maybe another kernel? I use the default).
12.2 is up to date and am running the Firefox from Slackbuilds. There was an update to FF a few months ago. Since then FF "hangs" when I close it out. It does seem to shut down better from the home page instead of whatever site I happen to be on at the time of shutting down. I do have a few addons to FF but they were there before the update with no issues. The addons are Gmarks [disabled], Rankchecker, Scribefire, SEO for FF [disabled], SEO Toolbar, Weatherbug and Web Developer. I haven't done any "fixes" so I'm fairly certain I didn't create my own problem.
I have made an pendrive with slackware and used the huge.s as indicated during the boot on /dev/sda1 for the pendrive, shall work; but it hangs displaying lot of lines ending with :
After installing slackware 13.1 I start up amarok and when I go in and configure the settings and it starts to scan the folder and it either hangs at 10%, stops responding all together or crashes, the library is about 130 gigs of mp3s. I do not know where to start on this one. Amarok version 2.3.0
and hangs for another 120 seconds. In X11 I have no sound at all even after running alsaconf with no errors. My sound works perfectly in Ubuntu, so it's not a hardware problem. Are the two problems related or are they two separate things? Any help here would be hot.
I'm a newbie to Suse and determined to stick with it.Mp3s play in amarok, option to rip cd to mp3s as well. However empty folder created with no MP3. I tried K3B and error re: need MP3 Mad MP3 library. I have read various forum posts and can't pinpoint where the issue arises.I have gone through steps on multimedia repos and restricted formats. I will submit details of my system shortly, but in meantime wonder if there is a simple solution I am missing not done.
I tried sound juicer for this purpose but I don't know how to set the bitrate in that. By default it rips at 128k I guess but I need to rip at 320 kbps. I also downloaded neroAacEnc and tried to use it with k3b by adding an entry in external encoding tools with command neroAacEnc -if %f -of %n.
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64-Bit Desktop Edition, and I am looking for a faster way to rip CDs, without having to resort to Windows. I try to rip a CD, but it takes 20+ minutes just to get the files copied, then another 5 or so minutes to burn the cd!I have a new SATA interface CD/DVD burner, so I know it is not the hardware.
I've been doing some searching on the internet about how to rip my cd's to mp3 within ubuntu. I seem to find that LAME isn't a good way to convert the files. I saw the sticky within the forums and RubbyRipper is recommended, but the installation seemed a bit confusing to me. Everything else I found through my search was considerably old. I'm using Karmic Koala. Any suggestions? (This is also a sticking point for people I try to convince to switch over to ubuntu, btw.)
I travel a lot and I want to convert all my DVD's to avi format so that I can play them through my media player. K3b has an option for ripping DVD, but it doesn't seem to do anything!
