Ubuntu Multimedia :: RipperX Command Line Parameters Selecting Which Drive?
May 28, 2011
with the current Musicbrainz fiasco with Rythmbox and Sound Juicer I am now using RipperX. I like RipperX, but I would like to know if there are any command line parameters or some way of selecting the CD/DVD drive. It appears that RipperX can multi-task which would save me some time.

I don't understand why this is so difficult.In the old days, there was lpforms which allowed some formatting. CUPS did not see fit to implement this into it's lp package.cgi-...-cgi?lpforms+1In the old days, lpr allowed you to select a font in the command line with -1=fontname. CUPS did not see fit to implement this into it's lpr package.htmIn the old days, printers had fonts installed on them that you could access. Modern printers don't seem to have this. So now I still need to be able to select a font when I print certain text files from the command line but it seems this is impossible. I've been working with instances and lpoptions, which allows me to do a lot of other things I need like orientation and margins and even set the font size, but I still cannot choose a font other than the default.

I have added an application launcher to my desktop and it works fine. However, I want to be able to feed parameters to the launcher before I launch the application. So, for instance, if the command is normally "/usr/bin/foo something" I want to be able to add the "something" parameter dynamically after clicking the launcher but before the application launches. Is this possible in Fedora?

Out of X I have auto-completion for a command parameter (e.g. 'aptitude upd(ate)') but in gnome-terminal I have auto-completion only for the command, not for its parameters. Is it possible to have that?

I have two txt files containing x and y coordinates: xcoord.txt & ycoord.txt. I need to open them; read them line by line to get each coordinate; then each time I need to update Xs and Ys parameters inside another file called "dc.in" with the grabbed values.
Finally each time I need to run two exe files ( dc_2002 and st_vac) and produce corresponding output for each Xs and Ys ( dc.in is an input file for this exe files)
I have written the following code but it does not work:

I've finally got ripperx to work, but is there a way to keep it open between CD's?After each CD the program closes, I'd rather just pop the next CD in and start.Since I have about 250 CD's to rip this is somewhat of a pain.

I use RipperX to rip CD's on my Ubuntu home server. The files it rips and encodes are in mp3 and they are all fine.
However the system is not saving id3 information for the final two tracks, despite having all the information.
You can see what I'm describing in these images: [URL]
If you want more information just say, I'll get back to you.

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 used to be able to mount usb media such as a digital camera like this:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk
After upgrading to karmic, it no longer works. I get this error:

Here's what I have in /dev:

Ubuntu is getting stuck at the loading screen after an aborted attempt to upgrade to 11.04. It's my own fault - the install was running out of room on /, and I, like an idiot, decided to delete some package files under /var/something/archive, thinking they were "old"... I quickly realized they were in fact the new packages being installed... anyway after killing the thing and rebooting it is pretty damn broken (mostly because I can't get networking going so running in dpkg repair mode doesn't do much because, well, I deleted the packages).
I want to copy all the files off my /home and other meaningful partitions onto an external drive so I can just do a clean install. I can actually login to the command line under recovery mode, but I can't get the GUI started. I know it's possible to copy the contents of the partitions to an external

I need to organise an external HDD such that there is no more than 500 folders on it.
Ubuntu's "Properties" pane shows only the file count, not the folder count.
Is there a simple CLI line that will tell me the number of subdirectories?

Everything is plain and simple. I want to know what's the least painful way to control vlc from local command line while having GUI as well?
I would like to e.g. use something like "vlc --pause" in one of my bash scripts to pause music if something hapens. So rc interface is useless, is it not?
not making a thorough search on this as the irrelevance of results is beneath me... Well actually I have made it but it was a while ago and to no avail since the new vlc shipped with karmic got rid of the old http interface which allowed to do this just by using wget on an url....

you longed to listen to your favorite sirius XM satellite radio without the annoying popup every 90ish minutes. And if you were like me, you missed sipie, an application that allowed you to stream sirius via a command line. Since sipie has been flakey, some people have decided to start a new project on GITHUB, called pyxis, and I have to say, after installing (which is a breeze), it is working perfectly. I am excited to have my sirius back up and running strong from the command line.
[Code]...
note, I have no affiliation with the development team, I just thought that this very handy application deserved to be recognized.

How do I save it as a jpg somewhere on my puter using a script? I can wget, but it gets saved as a .evif, which is totally useless. I can right-click on the image in a browser and use the context menu to save it as a jpg, but I want this process automated. How can I DL this image and save it as a jpg? GIMP's CL options don't include the capacity to save/convert this image, though it's possible from teh GUI. ImageMagick won't read this dynamic URL. What do I do?

I wanted to share this nifty technique I came across for capturing video using the command line. The problem: I have a bunch of old VHS tapes (remember those...?) and need to get them digitized. I have a VCR, and a Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge which captures video to DV over Firewire (IEEE1394). I first tried using Final Cut Pro, but it wouldn't capture, perhaps because it expects a controllable DV camera, and the Dazzle isn't a DVC device. I then tried my other favorite video editing app, Kdenlive, but it seemed to have the same problem.
I took a quick stab at the other common editors in the repositories (Kino, Openshot, etc.), but no luck with any of them. Then I remembered the dvgrab command, and gave that a shot and it worked, giving me a nice .dv file. However, DV makes pretty big files, which I wanted to compress down to something more manageable. Since I was going to be digitizing hours and hours of tapes, it would be great if I could compress while capturing. A little more googling and I had the answer - you can pipe dvgrab directly into ffmpeg! Here's the command:
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 - | ffmpeg -f dv -i - -b 2000k -ab 512k -y output.mov
the first part starts the capture, in DV1 format, and outputs it to a pipe file. usually you give dvgrab a filename, like
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 capture.dv
the second part does the encoding:
-f dv: use DV format
-i -: input from the pipe
-b 2000k: video encoding bitrate of 2000k/sec, high quality
-ab 512k: audio encoding bitrate
-y: overwrite file if it exists
I didn't set the codec explicitly, for Quicktime it defaults to MPEG4. This worked great, capturing a 2-hour tape into a high-quality quicktime around 2GB. But I also wanted to be able to view the capture while it was going. Since I left the field monitors and audio splitters at the office, I had to figure out how to do this in software. Turns out that the "tee" command does exactly what I needed - the shell never ceases to amaze! Here's the full command:
Code:
dvgrab -format dv1 - | tee >(ffmpeg -f dv -i - -b 2000k -ab 512k output.mov) >(playdv --disable-audio --no-mmap)
tee uses the
Code:
>(command)
syntax to pipe simultaneously to multiple processes. The only thing that didn't work was audio playback, which was choppy and introduced errors in the capture file. I think a little tweaking with the capture rates could fix that.
