Once I needed some specifications of my hardware and I used commands like:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo
lspci

But there is 2 nice programs (GUIs) that can give you specs and everything.
First one is hardinfo, and the other is gnome-device-manager. Just install them using apt-get.

That would be it

Have fun!

Make sure /usr/lib/tls1.50 is set in the tools>preferences>advanced options menu in Amsn.

Restart Amsn

That’s it

To disable Help shortcut in GNOME (which is sometimes annoying) just execute following commands (as root).

mv /usr/bin/yelp /usr/bin/yelp1
echo “echo 1″ > /usr/bin/yelp
chmod 755 /usr/bin/yelp

And that’s it it is disabled, although in some application it will be displayed ’starting help browser’ in status bar uppon pressing the F1 key, but it will not launch it…

That would be it for today!

Default syntax highlighting is bit ugly (in my oppinion), so I wanted to change it a bit. At this site you can get various color schemes, just download any you like, and copy it somewhere from where you will not delete it. I suggest you to put it with default color scheme files, into folder

/usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/styles/

Then just in Gedit choose

Edit >> Preferences >> Font & Colors, and click Add

Navigate to fresh downloaded color scheme, and just choose it Simple but nice

Cheers!!!

Edit: I made my own theme Blue Dream, you can find it on the link posted above, and here is direct download link.

I had some problems with installing Visual Editor, using official FAQ. I followed the instructions and get no errors, but still I was not able to use VE nor to make Visual Class. So I installed directly from the Callisto Discovery Site. Ofcourse you need to have installed The Eclipse SDK 3.2 to do tihs

1. Open Eclipse and click on Help >> Software Updates >> Find and Install

2. Select Search for new features to install and click Next

3. Check Callisto Discovery Site and click Finish

4. Select one of the mirrors when asked to

5. Then select Visual Editor (and some other plug ins if you want) and click on the Check Required to get all the dependencies for those plug ins. Click Next

6. Then you have to agree with licence and then proceed to the actual installation.

After you’ve done all this stuff, you need to restart Eclipse, and then enjoy in visual editing GUIs in Visual Editor plug in! I did this with Debian Lenny, but it should work for every platform Eclipse can run on

cheers!

P.S. I hope other members of MFH inc will also write some new stuff on the blog

After reading many HOWTOs for getting this done, I finally did it. Before this, I used console based ripper (cdparanoia). The thing is that ‘lame’ is not in the repos for a long time, ’cause of some legal stuff. So for getting SoundJuicer to rip into MP3 you need to download and install it manually, or to add Debian-Multimedia repositorium.

1. Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list (for more info check this website http://www.debian-multimedia.org/)

# DEBIAN MULTIMEDIA
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny main

2. Do apt-get update, and if you get this error:

apt-get doesn’t find this public key : NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907 ?

Install the debian-multimedia-keyring package with apt-get

apt-get install debian-multimedia-keyring

or with dpkg

dpkg-i debian-multimedia-keyring

Download package from here.

3. Now we can apt-get what we need

apt-get install liblame0 gstreamer0.10-lame

(if you have installed libmp3lame0, remove it first apt-get remove libmp3lame0)

4. When we have all the stuff we need we must set few things in SoundJuicer. Start it, go to Edit >> Preferences. Under output format choose Edit Profiles, then in new dialog click New and name it whatever you like (mp3 or something). Click on the profile you’ve just created and choose Edit.

For GStreamer pipeline enter

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=0 bitrate=256 ! id3v2mux

and ‘mp3′ for File extension, and don’t forget to check ‘Active’ checkbox.

This way you get MP3 with 256kbps bitrate.

5. Restart SoundJuicer, select your new profile and that’s it

Hope this will be helpful to somebody I did this on Debian Lenny 4.0 but I guess it will work in Etch too.

Cheers!!!
