I am a happy Ubuntu user, I run it on all of my servers.
A few days ago I setup a new slice, and now I want to use it to convert ULAW (μ-law) WAV files into MP3's.
If I would only install LAME this would give me an 'Unsupported data format: 0x0007'. Because LAME doesn't support ulaw encoded wav's only Linear PCM's.
I have read that one can use the Libsndfile and use it with LAME --fileio=libsndfile (or something like that) when 'MAKE'-ing Lame. In this case because of the additional encoding library sndfile Lame can read and encode the ulaw into mp3.
I have also read another solution is to first convert the ulaw-wav into a pcm-wav with sox, and afterwards convert the output into an mp3 with lame. This seems to be a lot of extra system resources.
I am looking for a hands on tutorial howto wget, compile, install and run LAME with Libsndfile on Ubuntu Lucid (commandline only) so I can encode incoming ulaw files into mp3's?
I do have libstdc++6 and libstdc++6-4.4-dev installed though. I can't seem to figure out why it wouldn't detect it. Is it just a bug in ncurses' configure or what?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAs my previous thread about compiling the good old Amarok 1.4.10 for 9.10 and make it work properly again was well accepted, I post here the script for doing the same for the recent version 10.04.
In the old thread, there are some really great improvements like a better wiki-patch: [url]
Code:
The ~/ before Downloads makes sure, that you can run the script from wherever you are in your system (stands for your home directory). Further, omit the checkinstall line, as this is not necessary in a script.. The sleep commands in between allow users to check, if everything went fine before going to the next step.
I can confirm the above script is working and Amarok 1.4.10 is set up correctly on a justsetup system.
And yes, I was to lazy too write a proper error handling^^
I didn't perform any larger testing.. Open the program an playback worked. My iPod worked also including artwork.
By the way: Because of self-compiling, a nice little extension program is working again, amarokFS (FullScreen).
That's the way to install it:
Code:
I'm running 11.2 with standard repositories (plus packman). I want to install a recent kernel and then compile some variations of it (to investigate a hardware problem).
So I took these steps:
(1) add the 11.2 Kernel:/HEAD repository
(2) enable multiversion in zypp.conf
(3) use YaST software management to select the kernel development pattern
Note that at the moment, the standard 11.2 kernel ( 2.6.31.14-0.6-desktop) is in use and I have not selected any packages from HEAD. But it has installed 2.6.37-41.1 versions of all the kernel packages I didn't already have (source & docs etc) instead of the 2.6.31 versions. /usr/src/linux symlinks to linux-2.6.37-41 instead of to a directory for the running kernel!
(1) it should have loaded the packages corresponding to the running kernel
(2) it's not supposed to switch repositories
I have been playing around with linux for a bit ... but i am getting to the point where i would like to know what is actually happening to the system .
Scenario ... I would like to install Mozilla Thunderbird On mozilla thunderbird website, current version is 3.1
However, when i run 'yum search thunderbird' i get a version 3.0.5.xxx
Why is repository not up to date?
So is it better to install through YUM or should i download the source and compile it?
If i compile it, will the YUM keep track of it if an update is made?
If compiled, how can i get it so it appears in the menu system (alacarte?)
Is it possible to extract and install source files through YUM (so it can keep track of the package)?

I recently downloaded a tarball which contains a .src file for a program to convert .ttf fonts to .cxf fonts for use in Qcad drawings. how to compile and install this program in linuxmint 9 or ubuntu lucid. What I downloaded from the ribbonsoft.com website is a tarball called ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src.tar.gz. It contains a directory /ttf2cxf-0.0.0.1-src, which contains three files: main.cpp, Makefile, and ttf2cxf. I can post the contents of these files. This is not a high priority problem but i have been messing around with this for a while and have made no progress.

"bzip2 -cd nmap-5.35DC1.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -"
Here I am calling the bzip2 program to work with a specified file. look for the file nmap-5.35DC1.tar.bz2 in the current diretory (-cd) and to pipe (redirect) something, this is where I get lost, I think. And I know what x & v mean but not f, or what that has to do with the previous commands.
cd nmap-5.35DC1
Chage to the named directory.
./configure
I assume this is a command?
make
Builds an executable
su root
make install
not sure what the difference is between this and the above.

I need to install this using command-line. I don't know if I should compile from source (which I downloaded off the "gcc.gnu.org" website) or if I need to install a binary or something. Can I even install anything without root privileges?
