Matt’s music player of choice under ubuntu. Essentially does the same job as iTunes without the online sales bit. Playlists, external media, rating, album art, id3 tags etc
http://www.exaile.org/

Can I upgrade my version after having apt-get install(ed) it?
A quick visit to getdeb revealed a newer SoftwarePackage exaile_0.2.5b-1getdeb1_i386.deb so I downloaded that and installed it using the GUI(gdebi 0.1.4ubuntu13), clicked my desktop icon and … nothing! Invoking the app from the command line gave me this error

matt@precuntu:~$ exaile

This ubuntu forum link provided a source for the missing python-mutagen package so I was able to download, build and install as per the instructions there.

I’ve got an on-board soundcard and a PCI one, but cannot make it (PCI) work. What’s wrong?

Maybe you have to disable your on-board soundcard. You can do this through the BIOS setup.

Another trick got mentioned on the mailing list, by jaromil:

The /dev/dsp device configured by default in dyne:bolic sound applications is a symbolic link (see ‘man ln’) to the real soundcard, and as such it can be linked to a different soundcard.

A list of the soundcard devices is given by the command:

ls /dev/snd/dsp*

which basically prints out all files starting by ‘dsp’ in the /dev/sound directory.So you can easily change it with:

ln -sf /dev/snd/dspN /dev/dsp

where N is the number of the soundcard you want, normally the onboard is the first.This way you will change the default soundcard pointed by the /dev/dsp device in dyne:bolic.

About the volume: it starts to a default value on the first soundcard, all other soundcards are muted. most simple soundcards can be setted using the ‘audio levels mixer’ from the menu, but multichannel soundcards need alsamixer (command from the XTERM) to change volumes on their channels.

Fantastic free linux distro focussed on providing fully featured multimedia authoring on modest hardwarare. It runs as  Live CD which means you don’t need to install it if you want to just test it out - find it at www.dynebolic.org

So far I’ve run it on Tabadley and it has a few problems.

try

X -configure :1
in a terminal window.

It will generate a file /root/xorg.conf.new
Copy this file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then, hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
your screen should clear and come back at the highest resolution it can handle
if it doesn’t come back, but drops you to a command line, type “startx” and hit Enter

Hope this helps,
Richard

The vga=794 didn’t work for my computer, but searching through the archives, I found this other method.

When in dyne:bolic

1. Open up the Home folder (the second button from the top on the right
   hand side)
2. Click the up arrow to move to the parent directory
3. Open etc
4. Open X11
5. There are two files that need to be altered: xorg.conf and xorg.conf.dist
   After opening each of these files, scroll down to the “Screen” section, and then the “Display” section.
   You will see a list of resolutions in quotes for each of three “Modes”.
   Add your own computer’s native resolution to that list (e.g. “1200×800″) for each of the three modes.
6. Save xorg.conf and xorg.conf.dist after you have altered them
7. In the partition where you have dyne:bolic installed, find the dyne folder.
8. Open that folder and open the dyne.cfg file. Because this is a
   read-only file, it will ask you permission.
9. Scroll down until you find the line:
   # X_RESOLUTION=1024x786
   add another line below without the number hash (pound sign) front of it
   X_RESOLUTION=1200x800
   (of course replace the 1200×800 with whatever your native resolution
   should be)
10. Save the file. Reboot dyne:bolic.

That’s what worked for me.

Serendipidous music tendencies

So my usual radio standby of Five Live decides to throw in a few lame late-night hosts which forced me to go a searchin’.

Vibronics featured on Brinsley Forde’s Dub Basment show

Saturday 23 and 30 December 2006

Dm / G7

If Queen Bodecia is long dead and gone
Well the spirit in her childrens childrens children still lives on
And if Elvis he was the king had his piece of the pie
Well now his century's over im having mine

Dm / Bb / F / A

But if you've lost your faith in love and music the end wont be long
Because if its gone for you then i too may lose it and that would be wrong
You know ive tried so hard to keep myself from falling
Back into my bad old ways
And it chars my heart to always hear you calling
Calling for the good old days
Because there were no good old days
These are the good old days

And its not about, tenements and needles
And all the elvis in the eyes and the backs of their minds
Daisy chains and school yard games
And a list of things we said we'd do tomorrow

The arcadian dream has all fallen through
But the Albion sails on course
So man the decks and hoist the rigging
Because the pig mans found the source
And theres twelve rude boys on the oars
(they're singing "row row row")
