General :: Specify Level Of Compression When Using Tar -zcvf?

Jul 1, 2011

I gzip directories very often at work. What I normally do is

tar -zcvf file.tar.gz /path/to/directory

Is there a way to specify the compression level here? I want to use the best compression possible even if it takes more time to compress.

OpenSUSE :: Move Transparently Between Run Level 3 And Run Level 5 As Autologin User?

Aug 10, 2010

I've been able to kludge a kill script which finds the correct pid for the kdeserver (or gnome server) after my system comes up in run level 5 so I can drop back to run level 3 mode. Lots of experimentation showed me that using telinit 3 and telinit 5 would occasionally leave the video memory in a mess and I would have the black screen of death.

I set the security parameter setting to autologin for me since I am the only user of my machine, but I still have to kludge the default setting under sysconfig (the DEFAULT_WM) under Window Manager to pick a certain window manager, so it takes time to manually switch the desktop.

Right now I can leave the gui and drop back to cli, but painful experimenting showed me that killing the X server is a no no. Right now I kill the kde server, which sends the SIGTERM to the X windows manager, which then figures out that it has to shut down.

Questions: Is there a better way of doing this? Apparently openSUSE figures that we have multiple users logging into the gui desktop, so the gui is always kept running and a login window with the desktop manager option forces the user to login in. With autologin, this never happens, but no choice of desktop is possible on the fly.

Can some type of script be set up to painlessly enable this to happen? And what is the best way of bringing either the Gnome or KDE desktop manager down gracefully? I do get lots of error messages as the system attempts to recover and X shuts down. It appears that apparently the single user with autologin is left out in the cold.

General :: Initializing Run Level 4 At Inittab Default Level

Jan 15, 2011

hello everyone, im having a problem when my computer enters in the run level 4 as the default when i start slackware. The strange thing is that it not seems that is a X window problem, it looks like more like a configuration problem in some part of the kde script to initialize the log in, because if i manually start the X service it works fine, i dont know what is the source. Thank you in advance for the help.

Fedora :: Can't Switch To TTY Or Run Level 3 From Run Level 5

May 12, 2009

Hi Guys,
here is my scenario:

I am running F10 x86_64 with Nvidia Quadro FX 3400.
I installed the drivers and it worked just fine. No errors generated according to Nvidia log files.
However, while in run level 5 when I try to switch to run level 3 by typing "telinit 3" or "init 3" the X server goes down and I get a blank screen. Same thing happens when I try to switch to a different tty session by <ctrl>+<alt>+F2 (or any F key for that matter).
I also noticed that when I shut down my system I can't see any more the screen where services are shutting down and their status ([OK] or [failed]).

Would appreciate your help on solving this issue.

Ubuntu :: Alsamixer Startup "speaker" Level (and Screen Brightness Startup Level)

May 23, 2010

I just upgraded to the 10.04 and everything works just fine as before (except for skype but that really doesn't matters as it has already been 3 years I'm using ubuntu and I managed to get it to work only once, for miracle I believe ^^). The only real issue I have is this: when I start up my laptop, after the log-in, no sound will be heared as the "speaker" volume level in alsamixer is set to 0; if I raise it from the terminal running alsamixer (as I don't know any other alternative) everything plays just fine, but the next time I boot I do have to do it all over again... So, how can I change the default startup level of the "speaker" in alsamixer?

PS: by the way I do have the very same issue with the screen luminosity but the other way round as is always starts at maximum brightness and I can't manage to get it to start at the minimum, as it did before. At least reducing the backlight if far more quick but a couple of times I forget it and the battery lasted something like half an hour

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Mplayer Screenshot Png Compression

Sep 13, 2010

I use mplayer to play my media files. Occasionally I want to take screenshots of media I am playing. I use the -vf screenshot option to take screenshots which generates shotxxxx.png. The issue is that all those png are not compressed and usually large. When dealing with Hi-Def media they are extremely large, each is 4-5 MB in size at the least. Is there a way I can set the option for compression of png images. If I use imagemagick the same files get compressed to like 1.5MB of png file.

Ubuntu :: Compression Excluding Certain Ascii Characters?

Jun 8, 2011

I am working on a project where I am dialing out of a modem!! Old stuff, ya, but the modem allows my device send info from remote sites from my datibase through a phone line so that this IT departments dont have to worry my device being a security issue on their networks.

Any way, the modem I'm using isn't incredibly well designed, and when a certain ascii char is read by the modem, it reads it as an EOF indicator. It is also important that the files I send are compressed.

My question is: Does anyone know of a compression format that allows ME to dissallow IT's use of certain ascii chars?

just as an illustration:

Device --------> Modem ---------> Off-site

and the Modem stops talking to the device when a certain char is passed to it.

Ubuntu :: BZ2 Compression Surely Taking Long Time

Dec 8, 2010

I compressed a directory containing many image files. The directory amounted to 5.3gig. Compressed with TAR using .tgz the compression took a couple minutes at most and compressed down to 4.3 gig. Compressed using .bz2 the compression took about 90 minutes and compressed down to 4.2 gig. Hardly worth the extra time. Do these numbers look normal to you?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Editing Flac Compression In Banshee?

How do I adjust the flac settings in Banshee to do this? The option to edit the settings is not available for flac? I guess there is a config file somewhere?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Converting Multiple BMPs To An AVI Without Compression?

Aug 1, 2011

I am trying to convert hundreds of BMPs into a single AVI file, without compression. Since every pixel matters in my case, I don't want any kind of compression. It's fine if the output file is extremely large.

I'd like to know if it's possible to achieve this with packages coming with Ubuntu 11.04. I have tried ffmpeg/mencoder, but they either compressed the output file, or the output file is not playable in totem. I am a new user for both tools. there is actually a way to get uncompressed avi from these tools.

"BMP to AVI Sequencer" [URL] does the job perfectly. I successfully converted 180 1080P BMPs into a 1G avi, running at 30 fps. Unfortunately I need a command line tool this time.

General :: Windows - Program Which Uses LZW Compression

Oct 4, 2010

how to do Lempel-Ziv-Welch compression using pen and paper for my algorithms and data structures class. Unfortunately we have only a couple of examples in our book of how it is done. I'd like to practice compressing and decompressing text using it, but I need to find a way to check if I'm right doing it right or wrong.

So I'm looking for some preferably free/open source program which can compress and decompress LZW for Windows or GNU/Linux. Programs without binary distributions are fine too.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Copying DVD To Hard Drive Without Compression Using K9copy

Jun 2, 2011

I finally got K9copy to work and I'm using it to extract DVDs to my hard drive. I extract a dual layer DVDs it becomes a 5GB DVD. In the settings, I have DVD size as 9GB because I assumed this would not cause any compression. When I use k9copy assistant to change the shrink factor before ripping, I can only change the shrink factor of some titles to 1.67 from 2.50. I want the shrink factor to be 1 since this seems to ensure that the output of the file is the same size as the title on the dvd. I want the copied DVD to be the same size as the original. I have no problem with hard drive space since I have 6 terrabytes of free space.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Replace It With Software Compression On Our Streaming Machine?

Jun 6, 2011

I'm head engineer for a community radio station. One of our compressors has recently died and I want to replace it with software compression on our streaming machine. I've been looking at VST/LADSPA/JOST etc and I've got nothing but confused. Hence I'm coming here looking for help.

My spec is this. We need a system to run a compressor and EQ, probably a graphic and a parametric. The compressor needs to be multiband and have proper control of the compression curve. A way of configuring it without too much command line work would be an advantage. All needs to run on an Ubuntu server with not massive overhead as it's not exactly the latest hardware. I suspect it would be possible to run WINE for windows requiring VSTs if needed.

I was hoping some of you good people might be able to point me in the direction of a suitable host and plugins to achieve the effect described.
