by Alex 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Hi, Can someone recommend a program to create PDF documents? I have used convert from imagemagik, but would really like something easier to use to create a PDF document from a set of JPG files, for example. Thanks, Alex '

https://koji.fedoraproject.org -> invalid certificate
by Christoph A. 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

koji uses a certificate that is signed by 'Fedora Project CA' which is not installed by default. Fedora owns a wildcard certificate: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/ -> *.fedoraproject.org why is this not used on koji too? kind regards, Christoph

Creating an audio CD
by JD 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

The man page for wodim (aka cdrecord) says: To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run icedax dev=/dev/cdrom -vall cddb=0 -B -Owav and then run wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav The icedax command produced the .wav files and the .inf files. However, I get the following error from wodim: wodim: No tracks specified. Need at least one. Usage: wodim [options] track1...trackn Use wodim -help to get a list of valid options. Use wodim blank=help to get a list of valid blanking options. Use wodim dev=b,t,l driveropts=help -checkdrive to get a list of drive specific options. Use wodim dev=help to get a list of possible SCSI transport specifiers. So if the man page is in error, has anyone else done this a different way and made it work?

OT: linux clone() and errno
by Terry Horsnell 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Apologies for the OT query - if you know a better place to ask, please tell me. If I use clone() to create a new thread in a process, the child thread has the same errno as the parent. Is there any way round this, or do I have to move to pthreads? Cheers, Terry

Digital photo frame with WiFi
by Timothy Murphy 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

I'd like to show the output of a remote web-cam on a digital photo frame in my house, hopefully connected to my Fedora server by WiFi. I wonder if anyone experience of, or recommendation for, such a thing? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

OT - Command line manipulation of sound files
by Robert 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

I attacked the seemingly simply task of producing an audio CD from a collection of MP3 files and have concluded that it's not as easy as it sounds. UNLESS GUI front ends are used! I would much rather stick with CLI because scripting works better that way. I decided that the first step must create a .wav file for each .mp3. I found many scripts to do that; kept coming back to the very simple mpg123 -w outfile.wav infile.mp3 That has worked fine for all the mp3 files I've given it, producing .wav files that play properly with the command play outfile.wav Further, the .wav file will be played properly by VLC Player AND if chosen by k3b as a file to be written to an audio CD, that CD will play fine in the original factory CD player in my '98 Chevy pickup. BUT I have spent most of today finding and trying, then rejecting command-line solutions for writing to CD. From http://sharkysoft.com/tutorials/linuxtips/cdcommands/ I find this one cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=5,0,0 -dao -audio -swab *.wav Which yields cdrecord: Inappropriate audio coding in '$first_file.wav' Then, from http://www.pallier.org/ressources/linux_howtos/linux_howto.html#tth_sEc24 we have cdrecord dev=5,0,0 -pad speed=0 -audio *.wav Which doesn't work, either. Again, I have no problem with k3b EXCEPT that I must manually select which songs to burn to the CD rather than let a script do it ... and surprise me. Any ideas? Thanks!

Heads up re: Users of RalinkTech Chipsets
by JD 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Hi All, Kernel 2.6.35 now supports RT2860 RT2870 RT2872 RT2883 RT3070 RT3071 RT3090 RT3390 RT3572 The device will be wlan0 instead of ra0 I just downloaded http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.35.3.tar.bz2 and built it and booted it. It found my Ralink 2860 based mini-pci and all is super-well. You will need to modify your /etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant and replace ra0 with wlan0 Once you do that, you will need to System->Administration->Network and activate wlan0, and save it. That should create the ifcfg-wlan0 file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and should also create hard links to it in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices and in /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default (unless of course these links are no longer needed). If you had set up your wifi with a fixed ip address, you will need to set that up too. Once done, then sudo ifup wlan0 and you are up and running. I have so far discovered that these rtx00 drivers are driving the card much much better than ralinktech's own driver. For example, the signal to noise ratio is increased by a factor of 10!!! No kidding!!! Factor of 10! i.e. signal strength went from around 5 or 6 to 60!!! Enjoy.
