I was hoping to meet Hypatia and her man tonight, but maybe next time. In any case, many of the linuxchix met up at Boom Noodle, and ate a delicious meal. Then we walked up East Pike to Caffe Vita, and shared delicious coffee and tech talk. Although I connected to the Boom Noodle wireless without a problem, it was impossible to connect here at Caffe Vita. I finally was able to connect through Kevin's tethered iPhone! And download nmap. :-)

I'm not entirely sure what's up with my wireless card, but it must not be toast, because it eventually worked.

Meryll Larkin taught us how to test our security with nmap, and helped me set up a firewall with hosts.allow and hosts.deny files. Then she tried to hack me -- without success. :-)

Also, I started up Amarok and successfully scrobbled to Last.fm, so my hosts.allow file is working well.

Life is good.

Linuxchix is at http://www.linuxchix.org, Amarok at http://amarok.kde.org, Last.fm at http://last.fm.

In my previous post, I’m talking of juicing your sound to the last bit of it using Audacious. Well, it turns out the Last.FM plugin is not working. So, I’m trying to do alternatives. It turns out that the alternatives are fun. I can play with them and find a suitable configuration.

I’ve find a suitable solution: OSS4 + Jack (Jackd + Jack Rack) + GStreamer + Bluemindo. They satisfied my need. You may be think that those are overkill. Well, I have tried PulseAudio + Jack + ALSA  stack and found glitches when there are two sound sources (media player + system sound). Too bad, otherwise I would not install OSS4.

This is the screenshot of  my JACK using Sennheiser PX100

Audacious is the most XMMS-like player. Meaning, it supports what XMMS 10+ years ago capable of: visualization and sound enhancements. Those are what modern GNU/Linux music player lack of.

Unfortunately, Audacious 2.3 dropped support for Last.FM and in these few days I have none scrobbled to my account. From digging the site, I have found the solution, which require to compile [LFM] or just download [UBF]. I prefer to compile. Last, this is not my original work and the original poster (togdon)  is the most credited. This post is for archiving.

Compile method

$ sudo apt-get build-dep  audacious-plugins

$ sudo aptitude install libcurl4-dev

$ wget http://distfiles.atheme.org/audacious-plugins-2.2.tgz

$ tar -zxvf audacious-plugins-2.2.tgz

$ cd audacious-plugins-2.2

$ ./configure --enable-dependency-tracking --disable-esd --disable-pulse --disable-coreaudio --disable-icecast --disable-dockalbumart --disable-altivec --disable-sse2 --disable-mp3 --disable-libmadtest --disable-rocklight --disable-lirc --disable-evdevplug --disable-hotkey --disable-gnomeshortcuts --disable-statusicon --disable-aosd --disable-aosd-xcomp --disable-adplug --disable-vorbis --disable-flacng --disable-libFLACtest --disable-wavpack --disable-aac --disable-sndfile --disable-modplug --disable-ffaudio --disable-jack --disable-sid --disable-oss --disable-oss4 --disable-alsa --disable-amidiplug --disable-amidiplug-alsa --disable-amidiplug-flsyn --disable-amidiplug-dummy --disable-cdaudio --disable-streambrowser --enable-scrobbler --enable-lastfm --disable-neon --disable-mms --disable-mtp_up --disable-bluetooth --disable-paranormal --disable-xspf --disable-xmltest --disable-cue --disable-projectm --disable-projectm-1.0 --disable-filewriter --disable-filewriter_mp3 --disable-filewriter_vorbis --disable-filewriter_flac --disable-bs2b

$ cd src/scrobbler/

$ make

$ sudo make install

$ cd ../lastfm/

$ make

$ sudo make install

Well, it surely stable enough for me.

Not compiling

Just go to [UBF]  and read it. Basically, it suggests to download the binaries.
