Loving Ubuntu and I only pop back into my windows7 partition to rip cd's and use Adobe Audition.

I dont do much CD ripping myself or indeed music production but the CD ripping has has plenty of native methods without ever having to pop back into Windows and as far as Adobe Audition is concerned, well, you might find some usable advice regarding the use of Audacity & Ardour in this somewhat older UF thread.

Good Luck.

@Hiroki
SoundJuicer is the default CD ripper that comes with Ubuntu.
It does a reasonable job.

RubyRipper is better though. It's Linux's next best thing to EAC.
There's a tutorial here how to install it:-http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ght=RubyRipper

As my screenshot shows, you can rip as flac, mp3 etc and can set the options of the encoders. It's also possible to use other encoders such as NeroAac etc.

It certainly used to be but it no longer comes as part of the Default installation, basically because of Rhythmbox having the same abilities.

If i had a penny for everything i never realized had changed through all those upgrades i`d have a good pound odd`s.

I couldn`t even mention some of my oversights.

WOW Ardour looks like something i'd use all the time, thank you for telling me about that

I'll follow the links and look at the cd ripping.

I will have a proper go at using RubyRipper tonight.

I never noticed that you can just drag/drop the wav files from cd's in ubuntu

i must say I am liking Ubuntu seems to have come a long way since I last used it.

---------- Post added at 22:11 ---------- Previous post was at 21:59 ----------

I am actually having a issue when I use ctrl+C and ctrl +V is doesn't I want crtl and c to copy and ctrl and V to paste, any ideas?

admars · 11-04-2010, 23:28

ctrl-ins copy
shift-ins paste
shift-del cut

they're the older copy/cut/paste commands, but are still in use in Unix/Linux/MS Windows

that doesn't really answer your question, make sure your keyboard is mapped to correct territory. You'd probably know though if that was teh case, as certain other shortcuts woudl be different, or shift and keys would be different. eg US keyboard shift 2 is @ etc

Another way you can copy and paste is highlight text as normal, and middle click to paste.

I generally just highlight with the left mouse button and then the middle click/wheel alone alone does the pasting......unless your one of those terminal using keyboard warriors of course.

Code:

ctrl-insert : copy

shift-insert : paste

shift-delete : cut

shift-ctrl-C : copy

shift-ctrl-V : paste

EDIT: The golf & forum posting just dont mix :-)

Sooo i followed http://dimitar.me/madwifi-drivers-fo...-29-and-above/

And got nothing, would not see any wireless at all.
So i closed the netbook and left it and I have'nt used it until today.

I was in another location and noticed that I could see some access points again.
I just got home 2 mins ago turned on the netbook and BAM wireless access!!!!

Excellent

Im well happy but im really tempted to wipe it and see if it was a fluke.
Hmmmmmm decisions!

<---- Oooooh my 1,000th post excellent

---------- Post added at 21:21 ---------- Previous post was at 20:24 ----------

for those that are interested I performed this on a blank install.
I ran the updates and this broke wireless completely.

I had to run sudo make and sudo make install again from the madwifi directory i downloaded.

Then sudo modprobe ath_pci

I have'nt restarted yet that comes in a minute, wish me luck.

---------- Post added at 21:25 ---------- Previous post was at 21:21 ----------

Excellent, I have restarted and it still works ....

You lose the contents of the clipboard once you close the app you copied from.
It's a security feature.

As the new Ubuntu is out in a few days am I better off re-installing the whole thing or would it be ok to just update to the new version?

grandmaster · 26-04-2010, 13:53

Id say update.
Unless of course you have very little installed/saved then id be tempted to go for a fresh install.

But myself I would wait a while before doing any.

xpod · 26-04-2010, 16:01

I`d also go for the in house upgrade. If you dont mind doing the completely fresh installation then there`s no harm in trying the upgrade first.

If you use a separate /home partition then the upgrade is always a little less hassle data wise when doing a fresh installation. Backing anything up first shouldn`t be too much of a hassle either of course, if it aint backed up already that is....ahem.

If you`ve installed a whole heap of stuff from synaptic, which you`d like to restore after any fresh installation, then you can just save a text file with a list of all installed apps for re-installation on the new setup.

Code:

dpkg --get-selections > my_installed_apps

Will save a file called "my_installed_apps" in your home directory and after you copy it to your new installations home directory...

Code:

cat my_installed_apps | sudo dpkg --set-selections && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade

...Will restore them all again, the ones needing restored anyway.
You should be able to do the same thing with Synaptic of course....

Synaptic: File >>> Save Markings As. Be sure to tick the "Save full state, not only changes" in the lower left......To restore, Read Markings.
Unless you`ve been on a mad one and installed half the stuff in the repositories then it shouldn`t really be an issue of course.
