Rubyripper is a digital audio extraction algorithm that uses cdparanoia in a sophisticated way to make sure that a CD rip is done successfully and accurately. It is very similar to and inspired by EAC. Rubyripper is written in the ruby programming language.

How is Rubyripper different from other CD rippers?

This differs from programs like K3b and Sound Juicer because it is much more thorough. Rubyripper rips each audio track at least twice, then compares each rip for differences and attempts to make the most accurate compilation of rips it possibly can. The result? Higher quality CD rips.

Installation

1. First, let's make sure that all the dependancies to Rubyripper are met. There are several packages that Rubyripper depends on that need to be installed prior to installing Rubyripper. Let's install these packages by opening up the terminal and typing

sudo aptitude install cd-discid cdparanoia ruby ruby-pkg-tools libgettext-ruby1.8 libgtk2-ruby

This command should install all the packages you need to run Rubyripper

2. Next, download the Rubyripper, version 0.5.0 here, on the official Rubyripper site.

3. Extract the files in the Rubyripper archive. You can either do this either through the GUI or through CLI:

* GUI: Right click on the file you just downloaded and select the "Extract Here" option.

* CLI: Open up the terminal, navigate to the directory where you downloaded Rubyripper, and run

tar xjvf rubyripper-0.5.0.tar.bz2

4. From here on out, it will be CLI only, so keep that terminal open!

5. In the terminal, navigate to the file you just extracted using cd. For example, if you extracted the file to your desktop, then you would write

cd /home/USERNAME/Desktop

6. Next, we'll tell Rubyripper what features we want to be installed. Copy and paste the following into the terminal:

./configure --enable-lang-all --enable-gtk2 --enable-cli --prefix=/usr

The above installs the GUI and CLI options, along with all the language support available. This is the recommended and most complete way to configure Rubyripper.

7. Finally, run

sudo make install

to finish the installation.

Rubyripper should now be in Applications -> Sound & Video.

Uninstallation

If you find you are unhappy with Rubyripper, for whatever reason, uninstalling is a snap.

1. First, you basically replicate Step 4 from the Installation process: open up your terminal again and navigate back to the directory you extracted in Step 3.

2. Next, run the following command to uninstall Rubyripper:

sudo make uninstall

3. Finally, run the following command to clean up all files left by Rubyripper:

sudo make clean

On-the-fly encryption software which can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a real disk. It can also encrypt a hard disk partition or storage device, such as USB flash drive. Moreover, TrueCrypt supports plausible deniability.


Preparing your system

You need to install the following packages

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-source-2.6.24 libfuse-dev libgtk2.0-dev

Then create a tmp directory in your home directory

mkdir -p ~/tmp

Now download TrueCrypt source from here

Go to the path where you saved TrueCrypt source and untar the file in your ~/tmp directory

tar -zvxf TrueCrypt\ 5.1a\ Source.tar.gz -C ~/tmp

Now you should download wxAll source code. You can pick it from here

Go to the path where you saved wxAll source and untar the file in your ~/tmp directory

tar -zvxf wxWidgets-2.8.7.tar.gz -C ~/tmp

Now go to your ~/tmp/truecrypt-5.1a-source directory

cd ~/tmp/truecrypt-5.1a-source

and launch this command line

WX_ROOT=~/tmp/wxWidgets-2.8.7 make wxbuild

This will build the ./wxrelease subdirectory in the truecrypt source path. You'll probably will have some warning from the compiler, but you can safely ignore.

Once you have your shell back, launch this command line to compile truecrypt

WX_ROOT=~/tmp/wxWidgets-2.8.7 make

Probably you will get a lot of warning from the compiler, but you can ignore it. They are just warning.

Now go Main directory in TrueCrypt source

cd ~/tmp/truecrypt-5.1a-source/Main

and start truecrypt gui

./truecrypt

If everything is ok, you should have now the truecrypt gui running.

Now close you application from the Gnome notification area and copy your just compiled truecrypt binary in you /usr/local/bin directory

sudo cp ~/tmp/truecrypt-5.1a-source/Main/truecrypt /usr/local/bin/

Now you have truecrypt binary in your path so you can run it simply with

truecrypt

Now you can safely remove you working directories

rm -rf ~/tmp/truecrypt-5.1a-source ~/tmp/wxWidgets-2.8.7
