Just a short note to let you know a very mangled entry for us has appeared on Norfolk County Council's clubs directory: http://norlink.norfolk.gov.uk/cgi-bin/vps2-civ.web.sh?enqtype=SECOND&enqpar… At least the web link is correct.

Automating sftp
by Graham 05 Sep '04

05 Sep '04

Can anyone explain to a novice the way to automate an sftp batch session without the need to supply a password each time? The manpage refers me to sshd and says I need to configure public key authentication, but what does that mean in practical, step-by-step terms? -- GT

Mozilla - Dial up.
by Leon Stedman 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

In the bottom right corner of my Mozilla screen there is an icon which announces "You are online. Click to go offline". Clicking the icon has no effect other than changing (toggling) the both the icon and the helpful message. Could anyone please explain how to make it do more? It could, for instance, dial the ISP and put me on line, or run a script to achieve the same effect. Leon Stedman

k3b and CD burning
by Wayne Stallwood 02 Sep '04

02 Sep '04

This is driving me insane Ever since upgrading to my new box (and SuSE 9.1) I can't get creating audio cd's from mp3's to work properly. I have tried every version of k3b I can find (from the version on the SuSe disks, through the version available on YOU to the bleeding edge version 0.11.13 I found on SuSE's website) I have even tried compiling k3b from source (however it seems to dislike or at least not understand 64bit machines) and unless I manually build everything from alsa to qt to the versions it wants it isn't going to work. The truly sickening thing is that it worked once. About the first thing I did when I built my new machine is burn a CD for my Girlfriend to play at work. Now (regardless of what version of k3b I use) I get a perfectly readable CD, with all the track information in the right place, times etc. yet when I try and play it (in a regular CD player) a strange pulsing sound which vaguely resembles the original music is heard (and no someone hasn't overwritten all my mp3's with German techno music...I checked) Funnily enough if I ask k3b to produce a clone copy of an audio cd the result is perfect (something I could never get to work on audio disks before) so at least I know the writing bit is working. I think it is either something to do with the mp3's getting decoded (by the mad_lib ?) or between there and the raw tracks being passed to cdrecord. I am trying to create a disk using the command line tools only (to better understand the stages) However all my mp3's are at 160kps or higher. If I pass them through say mpg123 to get a wav output track how do I resample it to 128kbps so that cdrecord will accept it ? Also after reading the cdrecord man file I wonder if cdrecord is confused about the endian mode of my (admittedly rather current NEC 2510 drive) however if I try and specify -swab in the user parameters for cdrecord within k3b it seems to get ignored (and forgotten) Any ideas, or perhaps a quick how to burn a 160kps mp3 to audio cd using only the command line so I can at least drop cdrecord into verbose mode.
