Comment on FLAC to Audio CD burning on Linux and Mac OS X by abdulet

abdulet — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 19:15:34 +0000

Now its much more easier in Linux, at least with gnome. You only need to install soundconverter (it is in Ubuntu’s repositories) and Brasero. Once you have it installed open the .flac file in soundconverter, edit the soundconverter’s preference to convert it to a .wav file. Once done the conversion simply double click on the project.cue file and brasero will launch automaticaly an wll burn your porject. Be carefull becaouse if the path of the .wav file in the project.cue file is relative Brasero maybe fails saying that the file doesnt exists, simply open the project.cue file in a text editor find the line FILE “….” WAVE and put the complete path to the wav file between the cuotes. Thats it! Linux its going easy

You figured it out already of course, but if you’re interested in a shell script for the same job, the way I did it is here:

Thanks, Mark. Now I know where to look if I ever want to pursue this some more.

Thanks Sidney, I appreciate it.

I kinda hacked together someting very similiar yesterday. I guess you didn’t try to get dokuwiki to login from the wordpress cookies? I’m on the verge of getting that to work…

Mark, I haven't done anything with this since I posted that entry, but I did say that I did it just through changing local.php, so here is what I have in local.php in case that is all you need to get it to work. Note that the MySQL database that is specified is the one that the WordPress installation uses. I have of course changed the actual details of MySQL server, database name, and login info, and this whole thing is bracket by the start and end of php brackets:


$conf['umask']       = 0177;              //set the umask for new files
$conf['dmask']       = 0022;              //directory mask accordingly
$conf['title']       = "Sidney's DokuWiki";        //what to show in the title
$conf['useacl']      = 1;                //Use Access Control Lists to restrict access?
$conf['openregister']= 0;                //Should users to be allowed to register?
$conf['authtype']    = 'mysql';          //which authentication DB should be used (currently plain only)
$conf['auth']['mysql']['server'] = 'MYSQL.SERVER.NAME';
$conf['auth']['mysql']['user']   = 'MYSQL_USER_NAME';
$conf['auth']['mysql']['password'] = 'MYSQL_PASSWORD';
$conf['auth']['mysql']['database'] = 'MYSQL_DATABASE_NAME;
$conf['auth']['mysql']['passcheck'] = "Select user_login as login
                                        FROM wp_users
                                        WHERE user_login='%u'
                                          AND user_pass=MD5('%p')";
$conf['auth']['mysql']['userinfo'] = "Select user_nickname as name, user_email AS email
                                        FROM wp_users
                                        WHERE user_login='%u'";
$conf['auth']['mysql']['groups'] = "SELECT 'admin' as 'group'
                                        FROM wp_users
                                        WHERE user_level > 8
                                        AND user_login='%u'
                                        UNION
                                        SELECT 'users' as 'group'
                                        FROM wp_users
                                        WHERE user_level < 9
                                        AND user_login='%u'";

Hi, I know this entry is quite old but I was wondering if you ever documented how you integrated dokuwiki to use the username and passwords from wordpress? I’d like to do the same thing and was hoping someone had achieved it already.

Thanks

Here is my research proposal for Simulation Models of Prebiotic Evolution of Genetic Coding, expanded from the earlier MSc proposal. I’m still in the Computer Science Department but I’m also formalizing my relationship with the New Zealand Bioinformatics Institute. [...]
