Its Meeting time !

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, Time flies, especially in the summer. I can't believe its already time for another WLUG meeting. Our meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 10th at 7:00 PM. What will we discuss this month? I was hoping somebody had an iRivier or iPod MP3 player with the Linux software working that would bring it to the meeting to demo it, but so far, nobody has volunteered. (iRiver, iPod, iAudio, for what does the 'i' stand - individual??). One possible area of interest is directory services (LDAP). I don't think we've ever had a talk on that subject. Its my understanding that LDAP is good for more than just creating a giant list of email addresses for an organization. Another possible idea would be a talk about databases. What are the differences between MySQL and PostgreSQL - are they technical or is this a religious war? OK, I've tossed out a few ideas, but to make it work, we need a volunteer. Please send me email if you are interested in leading the discussion on either these proposed topics or something else of interest to the group. See ya later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC9KiSHl0iXDssISsRAiVFAJwNeAujY0DpolNA2rUYQceKHR4hKwCfYZd6 hAIXR4wrRQM2YCrmuk0K6hk= =WiLv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: [Wlug] SSH connection.

by Eric Martin

Mike's two questions are your best bets right now. If sshd is running and iptables isn't blocking port 22,check your system log. Also, go into /etc/ssh/sshd_config and set LogLevel=DEBUG. That will give us loads of info. Also, what are you using for a client? if you're using ssh, turn on debug on the client side. if you're using puTTY, you can just view the event log by right clicking on the title bar (although you'll have to configure it to not close on exit).

While the original software was developed on PCs and used floating point, the "Tremor" codec, which didn't require floating point support and was designed specifically for a portable/handheld, has been available since Sept 2002. Given that it was patent unencumbered and released under a BSD-like license, I'm somewhat surprised (though I suppose I shouldn't be) that the support hasn't been more widespread. (While the argument could be made that it requires more processing power than MP3, so do all the MP3 followon/replacement codecs.) Frank

Re: [Wlug] Portable MP3 (and ogg) players and Linux

by Frank Moody

I picked up an iRiver iFP-799T a small while back and have been quite happy with it so far. A quick rundown on the points you asked about and a couple additions: Company : iRiver Model : iFP-799T Specs : http://www.iriveramerica.com/prod/ultra/700/ifp_799.aspx Flash : Yes, 1GB Standard Batteries: Yes, a single AA Data Transfer : USB 2.0 Update/Upgradeable: Yes, via uploading the firmware and triggering the update. Support Linux : An open source app (http://ifp-driver.sourceforge.net/) is available as well as an alternate firmware that allows you to treat the device as USB Mass Storage (Haven't tried it). Ogg : Specs say yes but haven't tested it yet. MP3 : Yes WMA : Yes (but who cares...) FM Tuner : Yes Recording : Yes, Encodes to MP3 from Mic, Line in, and radio. I've been using it mostly to listen to podcasts (which I'm using bpconf and bashpodder to retrieve) and it has been working out well. Only one oddity discovered so far, at certain low and odd encodings, there are some audio artifacts. I've only run across that particular magic combo once and it was so silly/rare that I didn't even bother to note what it was (really low single digit bitrate, very odd sample rate, etc). The content was still audible, there were just some high pitched chirps overlaid on it. The battery seems to make up about half the weight of the device and it is small enough to fit in a pocket. Comes with a neck strap (which I use to attach it to a belt loop) and a sport arm band (that I found mostly useless). There is also a built in text viewer capability, but I have no earthly idea why... Frank
