Hi,
Knoppix 4.0 comes with Grip, which lists many MP3-codecs (among them lame) but the only codec that really seems to be preinstalled can only produce ogg-files. Also, I've read that lame has not been preinstalled due to copyright problems. Anyway: does the latest Knoppix version come with lame? If not, can you tell me how to install it on Knoppix?

Hi Johnny,
What doesOriginally Posted by JohnnyHmean? As a command line in the terminal, it didn't work. And how do I add it to that list file? I went to http://www.debian-multimedia.org/mirrors.html, but did not find the corresponding line, as "etch" was not to be found there.Code:deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main

I infer from the context of your questions that you are actually running Knoppix 5.1.1 (?), in which case the following will be available to you:-
1. Kmenu -> System -> More Applications -> File Manager - Super User Mode
2. Navigate in file manager to /etc/apt
3. Click on the sources.list file to open it with Kwrite
4. Add to sources.list file the statementBTW "etch" is an alias (or vice-versa) for what is now "stable" Debian. (I prefer to use named designations as it avoids ambiguity with older system sources.list files where "stable" used to be "sarge" - which is now "oldstable" . )Code:deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
BTW for these codec files you might be able to use lenny(=testing) or sid(=unstable) with Knoppix 5.1.1 libraries, but I haven't tried mixing them so no guarantees .
5. Save the amended /etc/apt/sources.list file.
6. From a root-privileged console invoke(I forgot to mention this first time )Code:apt-get update
thenand it should install for you .Code:apt-get install liblame0 lame
Hi again JohnnyH,
the steps you described worked perfectly on 5.1.1. But after executing them, I was shocked to find that Grip is missing. I tried all menues that made sense to find it, and I tried "grip" and "Grip" in the terminal, but Knoppix remained silent.
Where is Grip? Or is there another ripping tool for MP3s?
keenPenguin
Your question specifically asked about installing lame but not about grip ; grip is available in the normal Debian repository. BTW You can find whether this is the case for any package by going to
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
and entering the package name in the appropriate search field. N.B. Sometimes you may know only the command name that you are looking for, which is not always the same as the package name; for this use the "Search the contents of packages" field.
should get it for you.Code:apt-get install grip
Hi JohnnyH,
Well, first of all, thank you for your patience! But I feel I will have to put some further strain on it
As already mentioned, the installation of lame worked fine. But after callingI get an error text. I made a screenshot here:Code:apt-get install grip
http://www.abload.de/img/knoppixscreenzuv.png
The screenshot is in German, but I hoped that you might happen to be familiar with this error. Anyway, calling grip does not work. If the screenshot does not really shed light on the problem, I might try to translate it, or download an English Knoppix 5.1.1. and repeat the process.

The error messages indicate significant incompatibility of your 5.1.1 libraries with what is *now* "testing" or "unstable" in the repositories.
Invoking apt-get -f install (as it suggests) *might* work OK but it would be a pretty brutal upgrade step and might leave you with problems
I suggest that you (backing it up first) replace your /etc/apt/sources.list file with the following which I use with 5.1.1 (I've left in the 'cruft' which you can remove if you like).

Hi JohnnyH,
sorry for getting on your nerves, but apt-get just wouldn't work. I replaced my sources.list by yours, but calling
always fails. Here's a screen shot:Code:apt-get update

1] You don't say that you invokedafterCode:apt-get install grip- what is the result ?Code:apt-get update
2](i) The screen shot http://www.abload.de/img/aptgetscreen21l.png is not showing a 'show-stopper' failure of apt-get update ; it is telling you that the 'unofficial' codec packages are not verified by your system.
2](ii) You can still download & install them by accepting them unverified when prompted by apt-get install <whatever-codec>
2](iii) The verification tool is installed as follows ; from a root-privileged console invoke successively :-
apt-get install debian-multimedia-keyring
gpg --keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 1F41B907
gpg --armor --export 1F41B907 | apt-key add -
(I recommend that you copy & paste each complete line into the console to avoid transcription errors).
*Don't* give up if you think you see an error reported complete the instructions, then tryagain and report as necessary.Code:apt-get update
