I am having an error that I think is related to this thread, but I can't quite fix it. I am very much a newbie, just installed Ubuntu 9.10 last weekend.
I am able to launch a terminal window just fine from the main menu. I found this posting on how to rip CDs automatically with ABCDE, and did all that was said there. http://www.frozen.ca/ubuntu-tutorials/6-automatic-cd-ripping-with-abcde The contents of my newly-created /home/.abcde.conf file are as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUTPUTTYPE="mp3,ogg" LAMEOPTS='-V 2' OGGENCOPTS='-q 8' OUTPUTDIR="$HOME/jennie/Music/Ripped CDs/" OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM} - ${TRACKFILE}' VAOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various/${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM} - ${ARTISTFILE} - ${TRACKFILE}' PADTRACKS=y EJECTCD=y MAXPROCS=2 mungefilename () { echo "$@" | sed s,:,\ -,g | tr / _ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\] } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After rebooting, I pop a CD in, and up comes a blank Terminal window with the message "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal". I tried a few things to fix it, such as editing /etc/fstab (didn't work, took it out), editing /etc/sudoers to include my username for ALL (didn't work, took it out). I thought maybe it had something to do with the permissions of the .abcde.conf file that I added to my home directory as directed in the above thread, but took no action on this. I noted that I didn't have a mountdevsubfs.sh file, so I downloaded the dpkg-dist, then copied it into the /etc/init.d directory, set it to 755 with owner/group as root. Rebooted. Still doesn't work. I note that I don't have a SXXmountdevsubfs.sh in my /etc/rcS.d directory, and wonder if I should, but don't know how to get one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jen...@laverne:~$ ls /etc/init.d acpid cups killprocs README udevmonitor acpi-support dbus laptop-mode reboot udevtrigger alsa-utils dkms_autoinstaller module-init-tools rsync ufw anacron dmesg mountdevsubfs.sh rsyslog umountfs apparmor dns-clean networking rsyslog-kmsg umountnfs.sh apport exim4 network-interface saned umountroot atd failsafe-x network-manager screen-cleanup unattended-upgrades avahi-daemon gdm ondemand sendsigs urandom binfmt-support grub-common pcmciautils single usplash bluetooth hal pppd-dns skeleton virtualbox-ose bootlogd halt procps speech-dispatcher winbind brltty hwclock pulseaudio stop-bootlogd wpa-ifupdown clamav-freshclam hwclock-save rc stop-bootlogd-single x11-common console-setup kerneloops rc.local udev cron keyboard-setup rcS udev-finish ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- jen...@laverne:/etc/rcS.d$ ls README S25brltty S55urandom S06keyboard-setup S37apparmor S70screen-cleanup S13pcmciautils S49console-setup S70x11-common ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any advice would be very much appreciated!
