About the install DVD: The main install package is an alias. I was able to get to a directory full of sub-packages by selecting the install package icon, and hitting Command-R. All those packages looked complicated, so I went with the full install. I've only played with Garage band, and...

Thanks, Mindbend! That was a useful answer. What I want to do with Soundtrack is lay down bass and drum line with refrain/chorus changes, and then overlay a vocal and guitar track from another source. The result would be a studio-quality song.

I've read all the product info, and watched all the quicktimes about the interface. It certainly does look cool. One thing escapes me, however: Since Soundtrack adjusts the KEY of the instruments, it looks like a whole soundtrack is in just one note -- G, A, &etc. Does anybody know if it's...

mntamago -- thanks for the pointer about the shell script! I'll see if it works for my current problems with commandline mysql access. I had to follow the exact same steps you did after upgrading to Jaguar (reinstall mysql, chown to mysql user, rebuild mysql user in netinfo, &etc.). I guess...

The trace /btp trap garbage is related to commandline access. For me it's only ever manifested on the commandline, indeed, I can't even import: ./mysql DBNAME < /path/to/dumpfile which really hurts. I use easysql.php (found on hotscripts.com) as a sort of drop-in database management script...

In fact, I did install MySQL onto Jaguar using Marc's instructions. :) MySQL works fine... just not from the command line. I've been doing searches (google and this site), and this BPT/trap thing is apparently showing up with some other OSS installations. Apple moved around some libraries...

New install of 10.2, re-installed mysql. Like others, I get this when trying to access from commandline: dyld: ./bin/mysql Undefined symbols: ./bin/mysql undefined reference to _BC expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib ./bin/mysql undefined reference to _PC expected to be...

At the prompt, type: rm -fr dirname rm = remove file (unlike rmdir, which is remove empty dir) -r = recursive -f = force, interpret everything as a file, even directories dirname = the directory you want to kill Now, the -f tag is extremely dangerous, because with a command like rm...

5:25PM up 1 day, 7:56, 6 users, load averages: 1.95, 1.68, 1.66 Uptime gives you current time, time (days and hours) system has been up, number of users, and load averages over last 1, 5, and 15 messages. If a person has more than 1 users in the uptime output, that's usually still okay...

Regardless how byzantine and backwards Apple's distro methodology is -- all I can say is that 10.1 rocks. Very. DVD of "The Gift" is playing in the background. Onscreen brightness and volume controls. I'd broken some things over the last few months: Sound works again; booting to 9 works...

[Wednesday] faxed an order to Apple for uptodate program. [Thursday] discovered my debit card account empty. [Monday] received uptodate package. Very happy. Going to install it soon. The brown padded paper envelope contained: Welcome to Mac OS X booklet/guide. License agreement 3 more...

That was just my version of a funny joke. (You know how everybody sees a screenshot, and says, "What's this program?" "Where'd you get that background?" "What's that icon?" and on and on.) So I asked about calculator. Haha. Okay so it's not so funny. :)

Great screenshot, but what's that small application you're running on the right side? It has the buttons with 1-9, and has 1.239e+11 in the output window. I've never seen that one before.

Actually, I feel the same way sometimes. BSD is time-tested, stable, respectable, and some systems have uptimes that pre-date Microsoft. :) I wonder how my silly little windows manager / graphics layer is able to humiliate the rest of the system. But then I remember that this OS has only been...

Sad news (for me). I'd just reached 16 days uptime when I decided to use Internet Explorer to surf over to www.UPN.com. The flash/shockwave content somehow froze my whole system, courtesy of Internet Explorer. It was amazing! My entire system was brought to its knees... I'm still not sure how...

Here's where I'm at now -- almost 15 days!: 9:26AM up 14 days, 20:33, 1 user, load averages: 0.13, 0.53, 0.67 [localhost:~] flash% And here's a Sun server I work on: sona> uptime 10:16am up 380 day(s), 8:33, 4 users, load average: 0.05, 0.04, 0.04 That's my new goal (after 10.1). :D

My personal best uptime for my Mac OS X system is 11:44AM up 12 days, 22:51, 1 user, load averages: 0.62, 0.58, 0.42 That's almost 13 days with a TiPB G4, 256M ram 10G HD. This is honestly the best uptime I've ever had for a personal PC, Windows or Mac. I've been crashing Mail, iCab...

Gonna give associator a try. Meanwhile, I've fixed my BBEdit problem with this simple expedient: dropstuff the BBedit OS 9 version and delete the program. If "BBedit for Mac OS X" is the only bbedit app on your Mac OS X system, you no longer make/get files with classic icons that try to open...

I asked the battery nicely but it didn't do anything for me. :) At one point I thought the system was giving me grief because the battery was low or dead -- but both of my episodes to date happened with the laptop plugged into the wall. Sigh. Matrix agent -- Thanks for your helpful post...
