Build of cdfs-src failed in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot and The Alternative Solution

VCD ripping, using k3b

Error Message in cdfs building in Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot

Unlike Windows, Linux, because of its kernel design, couldn't read an copy VCDs as normal files in a data CD. But, of course, there are some way to “copy” VCD in Linux to our harddisk drive. The most used tools to read and copy VCD in Linux are vcdxrip (part of vcdimager) and cdfs. If vcdimager is a ripper tool, cdfs is a module to be patched in kernel so we could mount VCDs just like as a normal data CD, and we could copy paste them into our harddisk.

I prefer use cdfs to vcdimager, and for enough long time I used cdfs to copy and collect my old VCDs into harddisk, but in Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot, I've found an annoying bug. I couldn't build cdfs package from cdfs-src package. When I tried build cdfs from cdfs-src package, module-assistant gave me this error message : Build of cdfs-src failed! How do you wish to proceed?

A post in Launchpad told that current cdfs-src version is not compatible yet with Linux Kernel version 3.x.x (Owwwwhh!). This is bad news of course, because the bug seems like unsolved until someone hack or build new version of cdfs-src to be compatible with Linux Kernel 3.x, or until someone patch Linux Kernel 3.x.x to be able to work with cdfs. As an common end-user, I just could pray and hope that the solution will be presented soon :D

But, of course, as a loyal Linux user, I didn't give up to find a way to cover this problem while I wait for upstream solved for cdfs-src bug with Kernel 3.x.x. Happily, finally I found a simple solution to copy VCD in Ubuntu Oneiric and the solution is k3b+vcdimager. K3b, as a sophisticated and high quality disc burner, presented many sophisticated features such as vcd and dvd ripping, and vcd and dvd making. And magically, by using vcdimager, I've successfully ripped VCD into harddisk without any notable error (really!). The only one note is, if the ripping process couldn't completely rip our VCD, just repeat the process until all the tracks in the VCD successfully ripped into harrdisk :)

Technical Note :

System : Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot with default Kernel 3.0.0-12-generic

cdfs-src : 2.6.23-4

module-assistant : 0.11.4

k3b : 2.0.2

vcdimager : 0.7.23-4ubuntu2

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try. A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...

How To Install Mac OS X Lion Theme On Lubuntu / LXDE

Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock [click to enlarge] Mac OS X is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire it because of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and its profesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”. Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. And so, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows or Linux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance. In Linux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing theme transformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like Mac OS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin. But, all of those projects was designed only for GNOME or sometimes support XFCE and how about LXDE? Our Star in the current lightweight Linux desktop? (Yes, LXDE is the most light-but-complete Linux desktop for now). Until now, there is no project that officially support LXDE. Basically, LXDE uses gtk (now still stay w...

Howto Connect To Windows Share Network (Connect To Server) Easily in PCManFM

In Nautilus 3.4, Nemo, or Caja, there is a very useful menu called "Connect to Server". This menu allow us to connect to a Windows Share network via Samba. If you are using another desktop environment such as LXDE, there aren't such menu, and we need to install third party tool called Gigolo . But apparently, PCManFM (the default file manager of LXDE) already has such function. We could connect to a Windows Share network in PCManFM easily. Here are the simple steps : 1. Open PCManFM and go to adress bar, and type this command : smb://username@server/folder example : smb://staff@192.168.1.69/document then press Enter 2. Once you will be asked to input the Windows Share Network password (if exists), select Remember Forever option. 3. You are connected to Windows Share Network ;)
