The default Ubuntu shell is Bash and today I dug up a good list of those commands here.
Recently I built a dual core machine. It rips mp3’s from cd’s like a hot knife through butter. However when we copied and discovered the music in iTunes to sync over to our iPods (Wife has a Mac) we found out that the id3 tags were broken. What I found out tonight was that when you build the mp3 preference in Sound Juicer you have to add the following line.
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc bitrate=160 ! id3v2mux
Set what you need set and you’re good to go.
For those who want to use Sound Juicer to rip mp3’s but do not know where to start Ubuntu Help comes in handy. Incidentally that’s where I found the line above. You can see the full tutorial here.
Warning: I have been told by a developer for Beryl that Dapper should not have beryl installed on it. It will break upgrades and you will not be able to update to Edgy due to the backporting necessary. While I have not had any package problems it may be a consideration to those wanting to run Beryl to start off using Edgy.
If you’re the savvy type that loves to make your desktop your own personal work of art you may have seen some of the more recent videos showing off what is most commonly referred to Compiz. There’s also a fork called Beryl that seems to get most of the attention lately and after using it for a few weeks and since I need something to start this site off on it’s what I’m writing about this week.
There are tons of tutorials out there detailing many methods of getting any version of Compiz going, but I’ll point to a few threads that appear to work for most people.
First off if you have a ATI card it’s likely that things may be more difficult reguarding the drivers. This usually applies to those cards that are not supported by the free ATI driver. It’s a pain but there are a few good threads on this subject on Ubuntuforums.
For the rest of us who decided on a Nvidia card for whatever reason I have found some threads that can get you started and on your way to desktop nirvana.
The first thread is for us Dapper folks. It’s actively maintained here on Ubuntuforums and answers are pretty fast if you need help with any problems. It is also the source of any updated Ubuntu packages for Beryl when new versions are packaged. It is also the thread I used to get Beryl running on my desktop. Kbuntu users may want to check here for specifics on their version of Ubuntu.
Those on the cutting edge using Edgy and Fiesty can check here for instructions.
As with any tip on Ubuntu tips all instructions are provided at your own risk. So remember to backup any file you edit in case you need to restore them should things not work out.
Enjoy!
