mandrake 10.1, KDE 3.2.3
I want to use Konqueror to compress some *wav to *ogg or *mp3 and in the "right mouse click" menu there are the two options.
However trying to do either doesn't work.
ogg just doesn't start at all and mp3 says it cant find lame
I can load the wav file into audacity and then export as either mp3 or ogg so I know the encoders are working.
why not in konqueror ?
Audacity doesn't use the lame executable, but rather the library file, libmp3lame.so.
From console, type `which lame`, to see if it is in your path. If no results are shown, locate the file, and add the directory to your path. Failing that, maybe you don't have the actual executable installed
My guess is that this is either some kind of plugin or, more likely, actions added by a program through Konqueror's service menu architecture.
The service menu definitions are quite simple text files having a .desktop extension and can be found in a Konqueror data directory in a subdirectory called "servicemenus"
The Konqueror data directory is one of the directories listed in
#> kde-config --path data
having konqueror/ appended to the path.
Very likely a command listed in the respective file is not installed or not configured properly.
Thanks for the information.
The lame executable is found in usr/bin.
When I type in kde-config --path data I get the following
/home/bill/.kde/share/apps/:/usr/share/apps/
In usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus there are the lame-encode and lame-decode desktop.
The last line of the lame encode file is
Exec=lame %f `echo %f | sed ' s/\\\\\\\\.wav$$//'`.mp3
Do I need to change this last line ? to point to the usr/bin directory ?

What should I do to have this options in my Konq.? Maybe It would work for me, what should I install. Where are options for this?
