;) I sorta meant it that way.. if you can't see it, then you don't have it right?

cockadoodle dooo

coin coin

nikki_: To return to the linux/Picard install. Did you just follow instructions? May I ask linux version you are running?

Sigh. "May I ask what..."

debian testing

and I'm not sure, I've messed about so much I know the dependencies by heart :)

Cool. Well, then, I shall just rush into that place that angels can't be found.

wxgtk 2.6, python ctypes, libmb and the python bindings, libtp and the python bindings

although picard 0.7 added libofa and pymb2

But if you have it working on Python 2.3, I have a chance. Thanks...!

yup, never had a problem with picard and 2.3

wxgtk is the problematic one, compiled it once, *never* again

now I head over to wxpython.org and find some rpms

convert 'em with alien and I have handy .debs at a fraction of the stress and frustration!

This is why I'm totally dreading trying to get into linux. I can tell you every single aspect of my machine, but it seems like you know every aspect of your operating system.

Nyght: If you stick with a precooked distro initially, this will not be much of a problem. I'm trying to get something modern to work on an older linux OS. :-/

nikki_: I appreciate the tips. Also, do you know if any of this has dependencies on kernel 2.6? Or do you think 2.4 would work?

Okay... I'll believe you. :D

You know, I have the same problem with some of my older Windows boxen, too. There, however, I'm completely stuck if the binary is designed for XP, instead of 98. Eg, I can't run MBtagger on a Win98 box. Linux, at least, gives you the opportunity to mess about (oh, for joy).

See, told you teleguise would get tired of seeing my name. :D http://musicbrainz.org/showmod.html?modid=4583699

So does Win xp.. it's in the program defaults.

program access and defaults too.

ArgoNavis: I honestly have no idea, but I can't think of any reason why it would be tied to 2.6

Huh. Just read that entire saga, as well as the one you linked to. I must say, though, our discussion from this morning notwithstanding, I do believe that "(from the film BLAH)" is more clear. An AR would be better from the data management perspective, but only if MB can clearly present the info.

Yeah I know.. just wanted to let you know what you started...

However, "(from BLAH)" isn't clear, especially for foreigners, and there is the whole data loss thing.

(to me)

Yes. I deserve to be flayed for my questions. There are just so many cans of worms layin' about.

If we did movies, as well as discs, then an AR could be done.

but, if you can't find the song on the soundtrack, where else do you look?

soundtrack=score

nikki_: Thank you. I can't think of why, either, I just thought I would do as much info gathering before I try to diddle with the install.

I did Nikki

well, it's hardware stuff mostly affected by kernels, isn't it?

Nyght: I meant even the (from ...) bit

but I don't deal with albums like that very often :)

Ah... hadn't thought about doing crib notes for the whole album in the annotation. Then again I would do symbols and make it like an edited book if I was doing it that way

cliff notes too

if we had track annotations we could put stuff like that in those

and stuff like exact locations of live tracks

That was what I had looked for, track anotations

nikki_: Usually, yes. Although sometimes new capabilities are exposed... say filesystem capabilities... and then some software starts using the new stuff. But you're right, it's probably not likely. I'll let you know. ;-)

all cans of worms should be avoided if possible and be addressed only if they touch on major issues. am/pm and the removal of the From Film bit aren't major issues

Why you avoiding rebooting Nikki?

i said my piece, my brain is fried :) i have to go to sleep , good night

because I swear something breaks every time I do

i'll be back later though

I think it's because I don't reboot very often, yet still update my software

Good night nechto13, I wasn't really trying to open up cans of worms. Though I did realize the film one might touch on the debate in mailing list

so the next time I reboot, I've practically upgraded the entire system

GN, necto13...

plus I have all my windows how I want them

if I close all my programs and shut down, I'll have to spend a while getting back how I was!

Nyght: Last time I rebooted one of my servers, it wouldn't come up again. After some brain tissue scarring, it turns out that a load of caps were tubed on the mobo. I am now recapping yet another one. Sigh.

That makes sense Nikki, was just curious. I'm about to do my second ever Linux install in probably a week.

lost but I imagine I'll understand eventually.

I dived in the deep end one day and nuked windows in favour of mandrake

my biggest worry was whether I'd be able to get online ;)

You have guts.

I think what helped me most was not expecting it to work like windows

hehe, took me ages to find the preference in the control panel for how the mouse worked though, the scrolly wheel had never worked in windows so I didn't expect it to in linux (in fact, I didn't know what it was)

then one day, I changed it and my life was transformed! :o

Nikki, if I didn't use this machine for work that pays me, I would do the same. :D

You have no idea how much we share that particular page. My wheel has transformed my life. I'm a better person because of it.

my mum has switched back to using an old-fashioned two button ball mouse

using her computer fills me with rage!

/.me loves my track balls wheel

I can't go down! I can't go up! aaaaargh! :)

Ezekiel may have seen a wheel inna wheel (why in the middle of the air), but I just see a while in my mouse, and my life is complete.

I had a mouse with two wheels once, it was really nice, cause you had up and down and left to right if that's what you chose to do.

I gotta get my fingers checked. Why -> way, While -> wheel. Sheesh.

I've used various other mice, but I'm quite content with two buttons and a clickable scrolly wheel

Mine as well has a single button for back and forth nav on the web. I'm not for a ton of dodads but, those are very handy indeed.

Nyght does remind me, though, that there are new wheel mice out there where the entire plane of the wheel tilts left-and-right. I could learn to like that, I think.

MS ones can do that

I don't like them though now, they changed the wheel

I think you could. though I'll wait until Logitech comes out with it. I'm spoiled to their trackballs and their customer service!

it no longer has ridges and no longer clicks

ick!

so I'm gonna have to find a new perfect mouse when this one dies :(

I really like the older MS ones too

I like the ridges, but I like the smooth low-detent feel... not so much into the hard click-click as it rolls.

my clicks don't feel hard, but I can move it down one click, with the newer MS ones I didn't feel anything

so it was really hard to judge just how far you've scrolled

it felt horrible :o

I guess it's like keyboards: I like to be able to feel that I've pressed a key

rather you than me

:o

I know what you mean. Everyone to their taste. We can trade rodents... I have several of the hard-click MS mice. :-)

What the heck is that, Nyght, a space vehicle? Time travel machine?

:P: tjat

I hate the evil empire

http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/images/featu... mine, and you can see the ridges on the wheel!

That's my trackball.

But, it might be a :P: tjat too, in disguise!

Yep, the logitech doesn't have those ridges, but you can feel it. The thing I like about it is it's got a five year warranty and if it goes out, they send you the new one without any true difficulties, within like two days you're back to servicable with what you've grown accustomed to.

http://salzburg.com.geizhals.at/img/pix/47866.jpg and the one I use with the ibook :)

I don't like the feel of the wheels without ridges, I'm not sure why

probably because you've gotten accustomed to it.

Nyght, you're sure involved in a lotta Worm Cans lately.

I don't think it's that, I never really have liked the feel of them

What else?

maybe it's the stuff they're made of

Hmm... no clue then Nikki, that is strange. I didn't like the feel of the grippies myself, but, figured you guaged something by the feel of how it moved beneath your fingers. Sorta like, artwork editing or something. (had a toggle I used to use when doing artwork, hard to explain but you knew one pixel when you moved it a certain way.)

a harder material instead of the rubber?

yeah, I guess so

LOL

ArgoNavis: what is the next can of worms I opened?

Just teasing. I was referring to the mouse discussion. ;-)

Oh, okay.. I prefer to see them before they get out of control than to be covered in slimy worms after the fact and stunned. :D

well, I got nothing truly done on MB.. and I can't kick my mind into working for either votes or mods.. so.. I'm running away from my computer now.

Night Nikki and ArgoNavis rest well when you do go.

ok

got ot test port one more time

and then i'll submit it

submitted

:)

now just got to wait for a committer to pick it up and commit it

should hopefully be able to get someone to do it tonight

so youre saying i can do a make install clean tonight?

Coeus: assuming a committer picks it up for me, there will be audio/py-musicbrainz2 tonight

woot, thanks DraX

ehaupt and i did libtunepimp update/py-libtunepimp impot

and someone else did picard import

and now i've done py-libtunepimp

and i did libofa

err

py-musicbrainz2

nice...thx to all, will have to use picard more on my bsd machine

i'm hpoing to do a picard-devel soon

oh i see you have to get the source seperate...oh well minor issue

Coeus: yeah it shouldn't be like that
