It's very nice to see that NUT now supports my Belkin Universal UPS. Great work! Now I'm wondering if there's a GUI client that will build/run on a modern distribution. KNutClient requires an outdated version of Qt, and the "UPS Monitor" link leads to a Spanish error page.

Maybe my imagination is overactive, but I seem to remember reading some- thing in the vein of a HOWTO/tutorial on adding a Win32 API call to Wine. It discussed the SPEC file, header files, etc. I've searched the winehq website and the source tree, but I can't seem to find this. Anyone know what I'm thinking of? Thanks! --

I am getting an SELinux error every time dovecot starts, because it is trying to access my music directory (/srv/music). I've read the doveadm-mount man page, and tried: doveadm mount add /srv/music ignore but it didn't make any difference. Now, I certainly didn't tell dovecot to access this directory, so how can I tell it *not* to do so. This is dovecot-2.1.6-2.fc17.x86_64 on

A few folks have asked for specifics, at the spec level, on how sample granularity editing works in Vorbis. So, here's a whitepaper as the beginnings of a real document. This doc is also in CVS on branch_beta3. Note that vorbisfile is not actually tested with the beginning sample-offset spec for editing. I'll be testing/fixing any bugs in vorbisfile on that front now, and keeping

I am looking for a simple way to send occasional faxes via the FXO port on my SPA3102 -- without having to connect a fax modem to an ATA. In an ideal world, this would be some sort of "softfax" that runs on my Linux desktop and talks (via Asterisk) to the SPA3102 with T.38. This is one of those things that I thought would be relatively straightforward, but a couple of hours of Googling

I'm trying to build a Red Hat 7.3 RPM, and the XMMS plugin build is failing, because the FLAC libraries aren't installed yet. I've looked at some of the SRPMS out there. They all patch Makefile.am in the XMMS plugin directory to make things work, but I can't to that on Red Hat 7.3, because it uses automake-1.4p5.

Hello learned ogg folks, and welcome to 2007. Sadly I am back at work already, and I'd like to seek your advice. We need to store raw RTP packets on disk as they are received from the network. There will be multiple streams of media--at least one audio and one video--that all need to go in the same file. We have decided to use ogg because it is the simplest container format that meets our

I updated my home server with the 6.4 CR packages, and I've experienced 3 or 4 hard lockups since. The server is a fanless VIA C7 "CentaurHauls" system with a 1GHz CPU underclocked to 800MHz and 1GB of RAM. It has a dual-port Intel 82546GB NIC in its single PCI slot. (It also has an on-board Realtek RTL-8110SC/8169SC NIC that is plugged in, but doesn't currently have an IP

I'm hoping this is a new proposal, and not a rehash of something that's already been discussed and shot down. Without logs of the recent IRC discussion there's no way for me to know without asking. When I suggested it in #theora earlier derf_ or AndrewBachmann said that it had already been discussed, so I'm under the belief that this is a new idea. <p>Ok so we've

On several occassions lately, my home Asterisk box has stopped registering with my VoIP provider. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, and the log doesn't contain anything useful. How can I increase the log verbosity for SIP registration-related events? I've looked through logger.conf and tried searching with Google, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer. This

I'm creating a simple RPM for my 32-bit CentOS 6 server. When I build the RPM without specifying a target architecture (rpmbuild foo.spec), it successfully builds an i386 RPM. If I try to build an i686 RPM, I get nothing: $ rpmbuild --target i686 foo.spec Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 And I'm returned to command prompt with no error message.

I am setting up CentOS 7 on my new firewall. This will run as a head- less system, accessed via a serial console when necessary. It's only a 2GB system, so I don't see any reason to have the GPU consuming any of the RAM. I've blacklisted the i915, drm, and drm_kms_helper modules and rebuilt the initramfs, but the i915 module is still being loaded. Anyone know what might be loading
