How to convert audio for Asterisk .wav format

In our example we take "sound.mp3" and convert it to .wav. Generally Asterisk for its wave needs one audio channel (-ac 1) / mono and 8000hz (-ar 8000) instead of the standard CD/MP3 of 44100hz. Here is the command to convert into Asterisk .wav format: ffmpeg -i sound.mp3 -ac 1 -ar 8000 sound.wav Errors Asterisk may give you if the format is wrong: -- Executing [91781891@cme:3] Playback("SIP/234-000........

Linux Debian Mint Ubuntu Bridge br0 gets random IP

This can break things easily in remove environments where it was normally easy to convert a normal eth0 to a bridge under br0, and that bridge would normally have the same MAC address by default, which is desirable for most situations. In Debian 11 this is different for some reason now. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/681013/bridge-gets-random-mac-........

How to use the FTDI USB serial cable to RJ45 adapter to connect to the console on Cisco/Juniper Switch Router Firewall in Linux Ubuntu Debian Redhat

It is a quick and simple method for emegencies or deploying a few appliances/devices in a non-standard environment or small environment. However, if this is a route thing, or the equipment is not physically close to you, it would be best to use some sort of "Terminal" server which is an IP connected switch with several serial ports built-in for this purpose.

MP3s Won't Play / ID3 Version 2.4 Issues in Cars and Other MP3 Players/CDs/DVDs Solution

ID3 2.4 can cause various MP3 players, especially on vehicles or even computers, not to play or at least not to display the ID3 tags. In many cases though, since ID3 2.4 is much different than version 2.3, it will cause some players, especially in cars like Lexus not to play. Even on the computer, you may notice if you check the properties of the MP3 that it won't open or show any details (eg. frequency, bitrate and ID3 tags). One symptom of this in a vehicle (eg.

Convert data or file to base64 on a single line

base64 has legitimate uses too and can be an easy way to store a file or data within actual code for developers to keep things in a single file. For example let's take an image we'll see for an application's background: base64 -w 0 some.jpg >some.jpg-base64 -w 0 makes it output to a single line which makes it easy to store in a variable. Without the -w 0 it will wrap over multiple lines.........

Convert and install to LUKS Encrypted Drive Ubuntu 18.04 19.10 Linux Mint and Debian Based Linux

The reason for doing this is that the installer doesn't seem to work properly for LUKS and the server installer doesn't even support LUKS anymore. When you use the GUI install on Desktop for LUKS it won't boot and will just hang after you enter your password. So the only reliable way is to do it ourselves. 1.) Make a default minimal install of Ubuntu 2.) Have a secondary disk on the server or VM. 3.)........

Cannot Print PDF Solution and Howto Resize

If you can print other PDFs but not a particular one it is very likely that the PDF size is A4 (the longer, skinnier Asian paper size) instead of the North American letter size ( 8.5" x 11").
