Read AIFF metadata
by Ranbir
Hi Everyone,
I bought some AIFF tracks from Beatport the other day. I prefer them
over WAV because the AIFF have embedded album art, song name, etc.
I loaded them up in Audacious (F17+GNOME) which played them happily.
But, it's not reading any of the metadata. All of the fields are
displayed as empty. I tried VLC and mplayer, too. Still nothing.
I downloaded the same tracks on to a Windows 7 PC and listened to them
with VLC. VLC read the metadata without any problems. Hmmm....
I then installed Kid3 to see if it could read the metadata. Sure
enough, it was all there. So, the tracks are clearly not broken.
I tried converting the AIFFs to FLAC with ffmpeg and flac, but the
metadata was still missing.
I'd appreciate a recommendation for an audio player that can read AIFF
metadata in GNOME or better yet, how I can convert these AIFFs to FLAC
and keep the metadata intact.
Regards,
Ranbir

Logging in to CUPS web UI
by Ian Pilcher
In prior releases, I was able to log in to the CUPS web UI using the OS
root credentials. This doesn't work in Fedora 18.
How can I log into the CUPS web UI in Fedora 18?
Thanks!

Window edges
by Beartooth
My PCs fall into two classes. One has windows whose every edge
and corner I can grab right onto with the greatest of ease, when I want
to move one or change its size. The others make these jobs almost
impossible, at least for those with trifocal fingers and arthritic
eyeballs.
Somewhere I picked up an implication that the difference is in an
actual setting -- and I can control it. HOW??

Limiting .bash_history inputs
by Roger
I am using Fedora 18.
A long time ago someone asked for a way to stop repeat commands like
clear, ls -aFl, and others from going into .bash_history.
Can someone please tell me what the command was.
Thanks Roger

Re: yum upgrade

I wonder if they'll ever automate the upgrade process?.... to make it easier to go from one version to the next?.... seems like it would help make the process smoother for newbies....

there is no simplistic way for

if you do not understand this steps you need to read manuals
or avoid a dist-upgrade with yum at all

nx
by Patrick Dupre
Hello,
I am experiencing some issues with the display when I use nxclient.
What ever I choice for the display (in confidure), I get a session
which covers all my screen. It looks like that the size of the remore
machine sceen size is used and not the one of the local one
what ever I say: 1200x800, "available area", etc..
How can I configure the session properly to have the size of the
nx session fitting the size available on the local machine?
Thank.

best fedora solution to securely erase folders/clean free space?
by M. Fioretti
Greatings,
I started reading online to refresh what I knew about secure deletion
of files, and being sure that "free space" on an ext3/ext4 partition is
surely "free", that is you can't recover the files that _were_ there.
After reading this article:
http://techthrob.com/2009/03/02/howto-delete-files-permanently-and-secure...
I found that there is a Fedora RPM for srm, and that the source code
for sfill is at http://www.thc.org/releases.php
I will (re)study these topics in detail in the next days. My first
interest is to understand if those (or other) tools are enough to be
sure, without reformatting/reinstalling, that, besides the files one
DOES want to keep, there really is nothing else recoverable on the
drive.
I'm very interested to know your opinion/experiences/suggestions about
this.
TIA,
Marco

Re: difference between output of "yum ps" and "needs-restarting"?
by Georg Wittig
OP here.
Additionally, I just discovered strange behavior of the
needs-restarting command,
1. After a "yum update" it usually reads lots of data from the net
before outputting anything. I don't have any idea what it's reading,
and from where and where it stores that data. Why isn't the info
enough that "yum update" has?
2. Sometimes (in the sense of non-deterministically) needs-restarting
reports processes I don't expect. Occasionally it even reports 10 to
20 processes immediately after rebooting (i.e. immediately after login
and su)! At other times it reports a couple of processes that it
didn't report before (no explicit or implicit "yum update" in the
meantime), and a couple of minutes later it doesn't report them any
longer.
Just wondering...
