    Re: Linux



    Has anyone got a fix for duplicate music files in banshee (ubuntu 11.10)

    I installed my music library and there are 2-3 duplicates of everything in there now. I have tried re-installing, forums and even tried installing itunes with wine? No joy.

    Has anyone else come across this before?

    Re: Linux

    Wait, how about showing us an excerpt of your music directory.

    e.g. on my machine;

    Code: 
    cd "/mnt/storage/Music/Albums/Beatles - the white album"
    ls
    01 - Back in the Ussr.mp3*  04 - Ob-la-di, ob-la-da.mp3*                     07 - While my guitar gently weeps.mp3*  10 - I'm so tired.mp3*
    02 - Dear prudence.mp3*     05 - Wild honey pie.mp3*                         08 - Happiness is a warm gun.mp3*       11 - Black bird.mp3*
    03 - Glass onion.mp3*       06 - The continuing story of Bungalow Bill.mp3*  09 - Martha my dear.mp3*
    Just to make sure the doubles aren't in your music library (which I now suspect as the problem is cross platform)

    Re: Linux

    Not quite sure how to extract that info -

    do I just run the path in "Terminal"?

    Re: Linux

    You could also use Dolphin or some other file manager. But in general just go to your favorite terminal emulator and type "cd path/to/music" (cd = change directory) and then use "ls" (ls = list contents).

    Re: Linux

    Just installed Fedora, with Gnome 3. Likeing it, but it certainly is different!

    Anybody else tried Fedora?

    Re: Linux

    I used Fedora years ago. I'm sure it is a lot different now! I always like Suse, but I'm sure it's different, too. I've been enjoying Xubuntu these days. It's common place that I have completely forgotten about Windows!

    Re: Linux

    I've used Fedora. I didn't mind it and it worked good enough for me. A distro is a distro though and I preferred .deb to .rpm and apt-get to yum so I switched back to Ubuntu.

    Edit: Which reminds me once I get done with a certain project (which should be over by mid January) I want to convert my linux box to Arch and actually take the time to install all the tools I need.

    Re: Linux

    I keep hearing this Arch business. Isn't it a non-linux like-linux OS or something?

    Re: Linux

    Nope. It's built on linux. It's a rolling release distro though and it's quite lightweight.

    Re: Linux

    Gentoo is a little more hardcore. There is a nice package manager for arch and there is the Arch Users Repository (AUR - at least thats what I think AUR stands for) which packages a lot of things up that aren't in the base repos.

    When you install arch you're left with just the command line and the base tools (you don't even get Xorg by default). But you don't need to compile the kernel or compile everything from source if you don't want to. It's lightweight and a pretty fun distro to use in general.

    Re: Linux

    You know, Gnome 3 is far too focused on mouse movement, making to many mouse miles and I don't like touching filthy rodents. So I think I am going to distro hop again.. any suggestions?

    BTW, why don't you start an Arch installation club Dason. I will certainly join in the fun!

    Re: Linux


    If you don't like using the mouse you could try a tiling window manager like xmonad or i3. They take a little while to get used to but are actually pretty nice.

    There isn't a need to switch distros - just change up your desktop environment or window manager.
