CDRecord writing speed
by Mohan Cheema 06 Jan '04

06 Jan '04

Hello All, I am using CDrecord software version 1.10 to write my CDs. I found that it writes the CD too slow. I am using Lite-on external USB CD-Writer. I explicitly specified the speed by using the speed option to 40x. But that doesn't help. I tried with the same media and writer on my Windows machine with similar configuration and it writes it much faster.(It took only 4 minutes on Windows but 11 minutes on Linux). Is it an issue with CDRecord ? Is there any other Cdrecording software on Linux that will write it faster ? -- Regards, Mohan Cheema

With regards to the expenses and sponsorship as highlighted by you i would earnestly suggest that you discuss the same with your peers at the upcomign meeting. Very simple Madhav.....in this world everything works based on a simple philosophy of demand and supply. You can lead 10 horses to the river but cant force even one of them to drink. The way i look at it Madhav, it makes no sense to take up the mantle alone if there is no vociferous support. I would earnestly suggest that we scale down the size of the event and lets have a 2 day joint workshop between bombay-goa linux user groups. Me will have the same presented to the bombay lug and line up speakers for the next month. Feb 21-22nd can be a good time to hold this workshop. Lets have a target of 15 speakers spread over 2 days and arrange the same between bomba-goa lugs. The workshop would be open to all over the country with a small entrance fee of 200-300 towards meeting the expenses of food/eatables. This i can assure you will work without any sponsorship and won't require you to cry out hoarse. Get this moving and once we can pat ourself on the back for such small events like this Madhav i can assure you the rest will fall in place.

RE: [ILUG-BOM] New Kernel installation problem
by Nikunj Virani 05 Jan '04

Yeap. It does require another parameter as kernel name: Correct command was /sbin/mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.4.18-27.7.x.img 2.4.18-27.7.x After lots of googling i havent been able to come to any correct result yet. I have already tried removing initrd from grub.conf and it still does not work. Thanks for the help and any further help would be gr8.

New Kernel installation problem
by Nikunj Virani 04 Jan '04

04 Jan '04

Hi Everyone, I have installed RHES 2.1 installed on my machine, which comes by default with kernel-2.4.9-e.24. It works well. I recently upgraded to kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x using kernel RPM as follows: rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.18-27.7.x.i686.rpm /sbin/mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.4.18-27.7.x I am using grub as the bootloader and it has following configuration for booting into new kernel: title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-27.7.x) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.7.x ro root=/dev/hda3 initrd /initrd-2.4.18-27.7.x.img When i boot into new kernel i get following error: pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 160k free Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Thing to note. I can still boot to older kernel and works well. Any one any ideas what could be the problem in here? Any help on the matter will be appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Nikunj

Re: [ILUG-BOM] problem compiling GAIM with SSL support
by linuxdev 03 Jan '04

[snip] For compiling with SSL support i downloaded and installed the ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_8_RTM/src… nss packages as told in the FAQ of gaim. Then i configured it with command ./configure --with-nspr-includes=/nss-3.8/mozilla/nsprpub/pr/include/ --with-nspr-libs=/usr/lib/ --with-nss-includes=/nss-3.8/mozilla/security/nss/lib/nss/ --with-nss-libs=/usr/lib/ [snip] try not giving the end slash e.g --with-nss-libs=/usr/lib another thing. try using the gnutls library instead of nss, which should be available as a direct rpm or srpm atleast from www.gnutls.org hope that helped, C Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.
