Just some issues,
Did anyone else have problems with pburn in LH64? I recently tried making audio CD copies onto hard drive, and then burning new - as well as making on-the-fly copies. Pburn kept halting on a strange error until I found it wasn't keeping track of the default cd and dvd drive settings (as preset using the setup wizard). Might be just me, but did anyone also find issues with pburn? I think the problem is fixed now, after a few reboots and default resets.
How do I rip an audio CD into aac+? Burek makes a few useful comments in this thread regarding the codec
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 051#630051 I tried using VLC in LH64 but ran into problems - trying to do a batch conversion of an entire library I guess, where VLC seems to be configured to do single selected tracks... I tried to find other solutions to batch conversions of media files in Puppy (like 'Transcoder for ffmpeg', audio only), but I think I'll have to slink back to something like S.U.P.E.R. in windblows
tazoc, thanks again for pointing out snap2 for backups. I've experimented with both backups and mirror and put them on separate partitions, away from the savefile. However, I noticed recently that Gdmap shows that a ghost file of the L64-514.sfs keeps reappearing in a Data/Snap2Mirror/mirror/mnt/home/L64-514/ directory - even after I manually delete it. Chews up a big chunk of my normal save file but I can't seem to make it disappear using the choices in the snap2 GUI. Lurking in the /initrd/pup_rw directory, but I can't remove it (naturally) - something to do with Spot? Am i missing something really (stupid) obvious to solve this mystery? Removed all mirror setting etc and re-issued a default backup directory on a non-puppy (savefile) partition, but it persists?
Cranked up one of my usb scanners recently - an HP G2410 covered under SANE- but I simply could not get it identified with the hardware wizard (PupControl). Sorry to hassle you further with this now, but I think I got xsane and the scanner going on other puppies - could be just me - I'll try it again later and feed back.
(By contrast, I never had any problems setting up a usb Lexmark T632 printer, with CUPS. VERY happy with what I can do with it in LH64.)
Here's perhaps a project for you meeki - a java-based media server
http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp. Would it be feasible to compile this in a 64-bit environment, or would a suite of lighter applications for media serving in Puppy do, instead? More nooby-friendly GUI's for Monkey- and Samba- servers perhaps, already in LH64?
Thanks again tazoc for this fabulous environment that's my choice for the home office/system.
