I loaded RubyRipper today so I can rip some music, but don't know where it went. I extracted it, but don'y know what to do now. If it is not a straightforward install, where I just click install and it does the rest, I am lost. What do I look for, and what do I do?
View 4 RepliesI'm kind of frustrated about the CD ripping programs I've tried - one doesn't stop ripping at the end of the CD, the other one doesn't rip at all. In the past, I used to use Grip, which was perfectly fine, but it's no longer available for Ubuntu 9.10, so I had to move on to other programs. Since I cannot compile from source (tried a couple times in the past, always screwed up badly), SoundJuicer - which is supposed to be really great - is not an option for me (anybody aware of a deb?). Rubyripper looks great, but when I tell it to rip, it simply doesn't do nothing.
RipOff is more simple and basic. It rips, but a) only at, like, 2.3x speed (how can I speed it up?) and b) at the end of the CD, it just continues ripping and never finishes. I end up with e.g. a 5:30 minute OGG for a song that runs for 4:10 minutes. The song itself is perfectly fine and completely present, the OGG just goes on in silence for another minute afterwards. This happened twice so far. It just doesn't stop when the CD is over. How can I get a CD ripping software that does its job flawlessly?
I've been using the rubyripper gui on 10.04 for a while now, using my samsung se-so84 external dvd writer and I really like it. The problem is, I seem to have found that a small handful of my CDs will not rip at all. it says that it is ripping the first trial of the first track and never progresses past this. I check the files and the temporary .wav file. usually, when this file is created it is of size 44 bytes and increases to a number of MB in a matter of seconds. in the case of the albums that do not work, the file remains very small, all being 32KB, with the exception of one that is 64KB and another that remained 44 bytes. I check the log files and they all read:
Code:
STATUS
Starting to rip track 1, trial #1
Filesize is not correct! Trying another time
Starting to rip track 1, trial #1
However, this appears to be normal as I checked the log of an album that ripped correctly and it started with this.
So I tried using the command line mode and that didn't work either. the ouput was:
Code:
STATUS
Ripping progress (0 %)
Ripping track 1
Expected filesize for track 1 is 66389948 bytes.
and then it exits. in the directory, an empty temp folder has been created and the album's folder contains a log file that ends after STATUS. I tried using a CD that works on the gui and the command line did the same thing. could this be something to do with the incorrect filesize that the log showed for all CDs?
I have read several threads on the subject of installing rubyripper, and following the instructions seems to work for a while, but at the end of "sudo apt-get install rubyripper" or some variant like -gtk I get the return: "Couldn't find package rubyripper"
I have tried this through the Ubuntu software center, terminal, Synaptic, etc, and do not know anywhere else to go and look for it.
rubyripper is designed to be the EAC for linux and in this thread here mc4man very kindly gave me the other box encode line for mp3HD slightly modified to give a 320kbps on the lossy aspect of the file
Code:
mp3hdEncoder -br 320000 -if "%i" -of "%o".mp3 - -Title "%t" -Artist "%a" -Album "%b" -Track "%n" -Year "%y" -Genre "%g"
ALSO IMPORTANT
MAke sure you have Lame installed on your synaptic the encoding relies on it for the lossy part and make it executable ALSO make sure you go into the terminal enter mp3hdEncoder and ACCEPT the agreement now i am seeking the same information for 3 other formats.
rubyripper starts ripping but then it seems it stops during the analyzation.No action noticable and it does not finish.The last message in the log is: analyzing the files for not matching chunks.I left it for hours and nothing happens.It happens with all formats and with all CD's I have.No error messages or other.With opensuse 11.2. there was no problem at all.
rubyripper version 0.6.0

Distribution: openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64)

Does anybody have an idea or need any logfiles?A similar problem I have in k3b when ripping audio cd's. It hangs up during analyzation.
I've been using rubyripper quite happily on Karmic, now I've moved to Lucid and discovered a bit of an issue. rubyripper will pause for several minutes between tracks with ruby 1.8. If I upgrade to ruby 1.9.1 the gui client won't run due to an issue with libgtk2-ruby not being available for 1.9.1.
The cli version of rubyripper under 1.9.1 is blazingly fast, so that is what I'm using at the moment, but I do prefer the gui.
Anyone have any insight into this? Googling suggests there may be a bug in ruby 1.8.7 that caused the long pauses, but it was supposed to have been fixed in 1.8.7.249 i.e. the default Lucid version.
I am unable to use k3d or blender due to a weird graphics related problem. It says glx is not loaded. I tried to put Load "glx" line in my xorg.conf but no success

I have installed RipperX and the Lame MP3 encoder, as well as Oggenc. I noticed that Ripperx plugins are loaded at boot. The thing which concerns me is that there are multiple instances of a plugin witht the same name showing in system monitor( or ps command). There are about 15 processes alone with the name "plugin-Lame."
Here's the output of ~$ ps x
Code:
Are these actually different? Or do I really have redundant instances running? I'm concerned because I have an old system with limited RAM, and all the plugins together make an impact. If they are all neccessary and needed for RipperX, is there a way to have them load up when RipperX is started, rather than at boot-time?
I get this error message with KINO.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to ask some questions about checking which driver loaded for a hardware. Information: I am using Ubuntu and Xubuntu version 9.10.
1. For all types of hardware (including but not limited to network adapter, video card, sound card, USB devices, etc), if the command 'lshw' configuration does not show the loaded driver for a hardware, but the hardware work perfectly, is there any other way to know which driver loaded for that hardware WITHOUT ANY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, (and for network device, without using "connection information" feature in NetworkManager) ? If yes, how to do it?
2. Does your answer in question 1 will work for external hardware (hardware based on USB, FireWire, etc) and also the other non-pci based hardware? If it will not work, any other ways?
3. For your answer in question 1 above, do I need to install any packages that was not installed by default during Ubuntu installation?
4. For network hardware, "connection information" feature in NetworkManager does show the driver information. But, like stated in question 1, "lshw" command does not show the information about the driver used, then how NetworkManager get information about the driver used for a network hardware?
I've been looking forward to making the switch to Ubuntu for a while, but ever since I did, the road's been pockmarked with errors and hassles. That's, primarily, because I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Let me explain how I installed Ubuntu: All I did to install Ubuntu was download the file from the website and run the program. I didn't burn anything onto a CD or USB; I just clicked on the .exe file and let it run from there. Everything worked great - all I had to do was boot my laptop and choose from either Windows 7 or Ubuntu. Now, I had no idea how to watch videos, so I started to install a lot of stuff from the Synaptic Download Manager. Now, I don't know all of what I downloaded, but it was mainly games. The next thing I know, I get this page when I choose Ubuntu:
Code:
GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4
[minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completion. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device/file completions.]
sh:grub> _
So I hit TAB and try the easiest command on the list, BOOT. This is what I get when I try boot:
Code:
error: no loaded kernel
So I don't know what I did wrong.
I'm trying to prevent a few modules from loading at boot, like i.e. bluetooth, sco, bnep, btusb, usb_storage and uvcvideo, so I blacklisted them in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf but they still get loaded. I've checked that I unload all of the ones depending on eachother so that shouldn't be the problem, I think. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do to really prevent them from loading?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen i run my iptables script using fw builder (=installed on my router/server) everything works fine...until i reboot (nomather "test run" is active or not) to counter this problem i'm using the 'iptables-restore' in the "interfaces" file. upon reboot a "iptables -L" confirms me the correct rules are loaded.
However... tests (eg ping test from an ethx interface) to the outside indicate the script does not seem to be working. upon installing the script with fwbuilder this works again fine....i see no difference in the route table nor do i seen anything suspicious in the syslog. restarting the "network" does not solve anything either
I have seen posts about an you need to activate it by using "/etc/init.d/iptables save active" but theres no iptables in that location. only /sbin contains that program.

when you first start up your computer it is in command line, before the gui has loaded. Just like when you type ctrl alt f1 it goes to a similar screen. in both those cases my fonts are twice the size they normally are. I've used ubuntu and slackware, installed them both on different occasions, and the font in the terminal was always small and looked like what i came to see as normal. but now they are stretched out and twice the size. i am wondering if there is a command or way to change either the font or the resolution or the display settings of the terminal.

A year ago I had this computer running with Ubuntu despite it's connection to our local wireless with a Belkin N1 F5D8001. Now I've got the newest version of Ubuntu installed on his computer and I'm trying to go through the same steps that I went through in the past. I've managed to get the NetMW14x.inf file downloaded and I've used the new GUI for windows drivers to install the .inf but it's showing no Hardware loaded.
Also, in the past, there was at least recognition of the existence of the card if I did an ifconfig, it was just a matter of assigning a driver to it, etc. Now, if I do an ifconfig, I get the ethernet (disconnected) and lo (loopback). So it's as if the card's dead, but it isn't because I just wiped XP off it this morning. What the heck is going on with this thing? I could swear I've done everything I've read and everything I recalled doing in the past to make this work, but I'm mostly hosed by the fact that it's as if the system doesn't give a crap that the card is inserted at all.
