Debian Multimedia :: Incomplete Or Distorted Typography
Apr 27, 2011
I'm using Debian Testing and I have a little problem with the fonts, fonts behave somewhat strange. Usually happens with Iceweasel, but I've noticed sometimes in the window list panel or terminal. To give you an idea of what I speak, I leave the image:
Look at the letter b, and not always the case with that letter, sometimes the S or L. I've tried several fonts. Even deleted the folder. fontconfig, but still happening. Has anyone had a similar problem? It can be a server problem with graphics? Using xserver-xorg-video-intel

I recently installed Debian 5.0 (Lenny) on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop. I have been banging my head trying to figure out why my laptop display (15.6" optimum resolution 1366x768) is only running at 1024x768. This was not a problem in Ubuntu even as far back as 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) which came pre-installed.
I am running kernel 2.6.32 (from Backports) to get WiFi to work and it still hasn't remedied the video oddities.
How do I either:
1) Letterbox the 1024x768 so that it isn't distorted?
or, more preferably,
2) Display in the full 1366x768?
My video card is:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
I also have the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver from the stable repositories installed.

OS Environment : Debian Squeeze, Gnome, Compiz, kernel 2.6.32-5 Hardwares : Pentium4, ATI Radeon 9600 AGP8x
After upgrading the kernel and restarted, I've been having an issue with the screen. After logged in through GDM, the screen starts distorting, creating small colorful object and blurry
Screenshots :
However, this problem does not exist on tty other than used by desktop ( tty1...tty6 is not affected ) And not in GDM too!!! My GDM shows up nicely, I let it there for hours and no distortion, no strange colors whatsoever.
KMS is enabled ( by default ) as I checked :
$ dmesg | grep drm
[ 5.373278] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[ 5.782595] [drm] radeon kernel modesetting enabled.

I tried to install Squeeze on a new laptop. The installation finished and I was able to log in, but a significant number of packages were missing, including network-manager and network-manager-gnome, OpenOffice, and gdebi. Everything under the System | Administration menu except Login Screen was missing. There's probably more missing, too, but I am not sure how to tell.
It happened a few times but with slightly different results (e.g. I think on one of the earlier install attempts, Iceweasel didn't get installed, but it was included in the most recent attempt). I tried installing using 6.0.1's CD 1, and 6.0.0's hybrid Live image on a USB stick (in both cases, the GNOME version). I had used the same USB stick to install Squeeze successfully on another laptop last week (i.e. I successfully got a complete, working install; I made no changes to the USB stick; then tried to install using it on this new laptop, and saw this behavior).
I tried using both the graphical and text installers. At the step asking what packages you want installed (which allows you to auto-install sshd or mail server, for example), each time I made no changes, so the 3 selected default settings (the first option, Desktop Environment, and the last 2 options, laptop and... whatever the other one is, I don't remember) should all have been installed.
I didn't use the net installer, and I ran the installer offline because both laptops require non-free firmware and I couldn't figure out last week how to get the installer to find that firmware (on another USB stick). So once I got to the GNOME desktop the most recent time, I copied the WiFi chip's firmware .deb onto the laptop and did a 'dpkg -i', then did the same thing to get network-manager-gnome and its dependencies installed; and once I connected to our network I started an 'apt-get install gnome' to try to get the entire desktop environment installed (that also installed the programs that show up under System | Administration).
Is there anything important I might still be missing? Is there a list of installed-by-default packages that I could compare against say a 'dpkg -l'? Does this sound like some sort of known issue?

the title says it all. im using CLI streamripper with this command:
Code: streamripper http://<stream IP address> -d ~/Music -z -o larger -T it keeps a copy of every song it rips in /incomplete then copies it to another folder once it's finished ripping (but keeps the copy in /incomplete). how do i get it to stop this and delete the copy in /incomplete once its finished moving it to the new folder?

I run two sound cards on my system, one dedicated while the other is built-in on my motherbard.
Code:
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
HDA NVidia at 0xdfff0000 irq 23
[Code].....
I am not able to get any sound recorded through my mic using my XFi card. It records the sound my computer makes, thought. In other words, if I play a song, it'll play through the capture channel making people on voip application hear it. For some reason. But I am not able to get any sound through the mic.
I have tried to mute and unmute every channel in alsamixer, and tried to change the soundcard profile as well in gnome sound preferences. No luck.
If I use my NVidia built-in sound card however, I am able to talk. But after a random period of time, the sound through my headphones begin to distort, badly, while the voice from my mic comes through clear. People can hear me clearly, but I can't hear them at all because of the distortion. It sound really, really bad.
At first I thought it was a bug with skype, but it happens in other voip clients such as gTalk.

Hi, I have a Creative HS-1200 headset. When I am listening to sound through it, and something makes a motion on screen(compiz, movie...really anything) then the sound is distorted. Like it takes a nanosecond pauses to redraw. This does not happen with my normal soundcard. Can anyone tell me how can I fix this?

I did a clean install to 10.04. Not too many issues except any sound I play sounds like it's underwater and pops while playing. I have tried to do the Pulse Audio install, but every time I loaded pauvcontrol (I think was the title), it would pop up "Connection Failure: Connection Refused." I tried to follow other guides, but they'd all fail because I'd be missing half of the files it changed. I have a Creative Labs X-Fi Fatality card that has given me troubles in the past, but usually, it works. I tried to install Creative's open driver, but again, I had an error when I attempted to Make the directory.

It is well known that mencoder can be used to encode video to be burned on DVD with a tool like dvdauthor. The whole procedure is described here:
7.8. Using MEncoder to create VCD/SVCD/DVD-compliant files
Sound for a DVD is normally encoded with AC3. I encountered some cases where the encoded sound was badly distorted. As it seems, the default for the input changed to float at some point. The fix for this is to use:
Code:
acodec=ac3_fixed
instead of "acodec=ac3".

So I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my second hard drive. I also just got a new pair of speakers. When I plugged in these speakers, they sounded pretty crappy ie: bad bass, distortion, etc. At first I figured it was because I bought cheap speakers and I was going to send them back. But instead, I booted up windows and voila... The sound was much better.
So I'm trying to figure out whats up (mind you I'm pretty new to Ubuntu) I looked up my sound card: nVidia AC97 and Ubuntu recognizes and apparently has drivers for this. I also followed the sound problems guide posted in this forum. Got as far as the "ALSA driver Compilation" step without much luck. It installed some stuff, but didn't follow what that guide said it would do.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 x64, and the colors in my videos are distorted. Blue seems to be the primary tint over everything. This problem occurs regardless of video format (avi, mkv, flv, etc) and regardless of video player I use (banshee, totem, vlc, etc). However, no other colors in my operating system are distorted; it's only for these movies. I also have an NVidia video card, which I installed the latest driver for through the restricted drivers pop up.

I recently bought a monthful of Spotify Premium to enjoy music at the school with my laptop and Nokia E71 with the offline mode - the WiFi at our school is too laggy to stream online music. Under wine, it works quite fine, however, I would totally like to use the native client (yes, I'm too a "yay linux" person like all of you here ), but the music quality is very poor on offline mode. It clips, goes forward, a second back, then back forward etc. The bitrate sounds to be high, an the quality is very good except the annoying clipping.
Anyone else experiencing this? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Beta release with Samsung N510 so the cpu power should not be an issue even though the native client uses the resources very greedily. Interesting enough, on my desktop computer (Core2Quad @ 3,3GHz, 4GB 900MHz DDR2 RAM) with the same OS version and software plays offline playlists smoothly (only some occasional clipping)

I just installed Debian (lenny) on my HP 2133 Mini-Note (KX869AT). I've managed to get everything working, even the Broadcom wireless adapter, but the display is too large for the actual screen size. To get the screen to a more manageable resolution, I did copy the xorg.conf file of another HP 2133 Mini-Note user. (It was probably a different model; there are several versions of the HP 2133, hence the model number in the description.) Icons and things hide off-screen. The text on the GNOME panel is quite large.

I've got a collection of MP3 files, but sometimes I stumble across a double file in Rhythmbox. At first, I thought they were the real files, but after trying to fix the tags (artist names were incorrect or missing) in tag editor, I didn't see any change in the files in Rhythmbox.
This made me search for the album in which the files were (in Rhythmbox). I found out that these incorrectly named files were doubles, but they didn't show in the actual folder.
So, I deduced, They had to be fakes. I threw the doubles in the trash bin, and there it was. They were hidden files (with a dot in front).
How can I find all these hidden files, so I can remove them?

A good deal of text on web pages are missing; also, the links are usually coming up not as text but, rather, as lines. I've 11.3 installed.EDIT: Ignore the below -- it seems that the server was just slow, is all.(I would have queried this via the listserve, but <opensuse+subscribe@opensuse.org> is not recognized by the mail server.)

I downloaded the oxygen cursors and oxygen cursors extras form the official ubuntu repos using synaptic. I am running gnome in ubuntu lucid with compiz and emerald. I installed them system wide by running
Code: sudo update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme This means that they are displayed eveywhere. However, there appear to some bits missing from the cursor set. Specifically, the window resize icons and the drag and drop (move) icon. All other icons are displayed correctly. For the missing icons, it seems to fall back to the default ugly black x cursors. Has anybody else seen this, or have I installed these cursors incorrectly? Note I want to do this system wide so I have the same cursor even in my sudoed apps.

I'm building a symbol table and syntax tree using lex and yacc for a compiler.
I am stuck with an error for too long. I have defined two structures (one for Symbol Table and another for Syntax Tree).
Code:
typedef struct symbolTable{
char name[30];
.....
struct symbolTable *next;
[Code]......
here's the error:
bottomup.y:76: error: field 'info' has incomplete type.
I tried to define the structure definitions in a separate header file and included in .y file but it didn't work out.
I'm trying to get this done ASAP.

Going haywire on a new Centos 5.4 64bit install on vmware esx 4. I should know, but my mind is obviously fucked up today. I get the "distination unreachable", indicating something ICMP related, checked network setup, all looks like usual. Except my routing table lacks the 127.0.0.0 and 0.0.0.0 def. gw entries, as in this working box example:
192.168.9.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.9.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
FWIW, during install, did the usual basic firewall steps, not'n extra added but SSH. Tried with/without iptables, no change; no wonder given the lacky routing table. Sure, I can add what's missing, but I'd like to know why it's missing; i.e. what I missed on basic setup, as I'm going to repeat this with a nof Centos/RHEL installations (replacing SLES).

So after deciding to upgrade the existing fedora install on my laptop from 11 to 12, I decided to use the preupgrade method. After grappling with the boot space issue by clearing out an old kernel that was deemed safe to remove by the python script on the preconfig wiki page and then using tune2fs, I left the computer to do it's thing, periodically checking back on it. I come back to my computer, and after an apparent restart I see this message spat out at me:
Code:
ramdisk: incomplete write (3537 ! 5123)
write error
kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
I need this laptop up and running for tomorrow and I would appreciate any help given. I have a Fedora 11 live CD running on the laptop and there seems to be an extra 210 filesystem present with the folders efi, grub, lost+found in there, as well as some config files, elf-memtest86+-400, what seems to be .img file amongst other things. If necessary, I can provide a screenshot.

I make it a habit to review the logwatch reports regularly. I have been seeing this one from Anacron lately. I'm not sure exactly when it started, but it has been going on for a while now and started after the F13 to F14 upgrade. I have searched and tried to find out what it means, but have come up empty. This is the report:

Is this something that is just spurious and can be safely ignored? If this isn't, how do I go about fixing it?

Using Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. I'm new to Ubuntu and testing Rsync. I successfully copied 3TB of data from a Win7 machine to an MDADM Raid5 array. All appears to be fine. Used a Win app for the copy. I then deleted a 250GB folder on the Raid5 array and recopied the data using Rsync. Rsync was executed via a Putty session on a WinXP machine. The source was an eSata attached drive (same drive used for the big 3TB copy) and the destination was the same Raid5 array. That copied just fine. I bit verified it with a Win7 app. Perfect.
I then used the following Rsync script to copy a single 26GB file from that same eSata drive back to (what I intended to be) the Raid5 array:
Code:
neil@ANTECUBSV:/mnt$ rsync -r -a -v -e ssh --delete /mnt/disk1/Test/ /mnt/Test
sending incremental file list
created directory /mnt/Test
./ C_VOL-S300-b001.spf
sent 3020267622 bytes received 34 bytes 50760800.94 bytes/sec
total size is 3019898880 speedup is 1.00
neil@ANTECUBSV:/mnt$ cd raid
Note that only about 3GB copied. No error messages were posted to the putty session. I made a mistake in the Rsync command, creating the Test folder directly in the mount folder rather than the Raid array, as I intended. That is a little strange, yes, but I would not think it would cause a partial copy? The /mnt folder is on my system drive, which had about 34GB available space before the copy, so comfortably would have had 6GB or so after.
The eSata disk is mounted as /mnt/disk1
The Raid5 array is mounted as /mnt/raid
I then recopied the file to the correct intended destination on the Raid5 array, which has about 400GB free space (plenty).
Code:
neil@ANTECUBSV:/mnt/raid$ rsync -r -a -v -e ssh --delete /mnt/disk1/Test/ /mnt/raid/Test
sending incremental file list
./
deleting 2010-07-05 Backyard Birds/Thumbs.db
deleting 2010-07-05 Backyard Birds/
C_VOL-S300-b001.spf
sent 11105775462 bytes received 34 bytes 50366328.78 bytes/sec
total size is 11104419840 speedup is 1.00
neil@ANTECUBSV:/mnt/raid$ df -h
Note that only about 11GB was copied, and this was confirmed with an ls -l command. Now I am correctly copying the file to the Raid array but it is still incomplete. I then copied the file back to the /mnt folder to see if the problem reproduces:
Code:
neil@ANTECUBSV:/mnt/raid$ rsync -r -a -v -e ssh --delete /mnt/disk1/Test/ /mnt/Test
sending incremental file list
created directory /mnt/Test
./
C_VOL-S300-b001.spf
sent 26327927554 bytes received 34 bytes 56558383.65 bytes/sec
total size is 26324713984 speedup is 1.00
neil@ANTECUBSV:/mnt/raid$ cd /mnt/test
This time I got my full 26GB file. Why I might be getting inconsistent results? This is quite troubling of course. I'd also be interested in basic a command line Linux diff app (that does file directory as well as bit level checking) if one is available.

I'm trying to complete the porting to RHEL 5 of a commercial application that we've had running on AIX and SCO for decades. It originally ran on dumb-terminals, and even now runs on dumb-terminal emulators that run on Windows. We have thousands of customers, many of whom we'd like to migrate to Linux. We're pretty much done with the port, with the exception of this little glitch we're having with pseudo-ttys...
Our app utilizes pseudo-ttys, such that sub-portions of the application run under a screen manager that provides for screen-switching of multiple instances of the sub-apps on non-GUI terminals, some of which are still running serial. In this regard, it is not unlike the GNU "screen" program. However, it also supports file transfers over serial links using zmodem, and requires the ability to switch in and out of a fully 8-bit transparent mode where the screen switching keyboard commands must be ignored.
On AIX, we're using the BSD TIOCUCNTL (UIOCCMD) capability to send commands from the sub-app to the screen manager. TIOCUCNTL provides custom user ioctls and is an ideal way to solve the problem. It is not implemented on Linux, and the "alternative" of TIOCPKT does not provide arbitrary ioctls so at best we'd have to commandeer some of the existing TIOCPKT ioctls for our own use if that's even possible. TIOCPKT seems like a hack, it apparently was implemented not as a general mechanism but to solve problems specific to rlogin/rlogind.
SCO didn't support TIOCUCNTL either, so years ago we used the SVR5 alternative of putmsg/getmsg. This is a streams-based mechanism of sending control information over streams separate from the data. While RHEL 5 seems to have man pages indicating these commands exist, and in fact you can link programs using them to libc without errors, they are apparently stubbed out and return "function not implemented." This seems to be, according to this Wiki, due to certain Linux factions deeming that streams are "technically inadequate":
Certainly, I would agree that a streams implementation that is incomplete is undoubtedly "technically inadequate."
At the same time, it would appear that the SVR5 method of pseudo-tty is now the recommended implementation, the BSD one being "deprecated" (not to mention, also incomplete on Linux, given TIOCUCNTL is missing):
So here I am trying to figure out how to solve the problem. I have found a library that apparently implements the getmsg/putmsg commands for Linux, called libLiS. However, according to IBM, it has a problem with SELinux:
We've had to disable SELinux for other reasons anyway, so this is not a show stopper for us, and I am actively exploring using it as our solution. However, I've never been exactly crazy about the idea of depending on disabling security features to make something work. But, there's something to be said for the compatibility it would offer for our apps.
However, it occured ot me that we are probably not the first to have this problem, and was wondering if perhaps there is another solution that we should consider.
It has occured to me to use named pipes, but this would be rather ugly--we'd have to maintain a directory full of hundreds of named pipes, probably named after the associated ptys that the sub-apps could use to issue control commands to their screen manager, and the manager would have to monitor these pipes for commands, etc.-- certainly possible, but it seems like it might be re-inventing the wheel a bit, or at the very least, is a somewhat kludgy work-around to the apparent lack of any user-customizable control mechanisms in the pseudo-ttys. And we'd have to support it in addition to the code for the other methods since those platforms aren't going away anytime soon (SCO death-throes notwithstanding).

I'm trying to backup an ext3-formatted disk to an external USB disk, also formatted in ext3.rsync repeatedly reports those kind of errors : rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat "<filename>" : Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character.Following Google, this is usually related to NTFS-formatted drives but it is not the case here.A lead to the solution could be that the folders and files being backuped are mapped through smbd. My smbd.conf file contains the following lines regarding charsets : #Dos charset = 850#Unix charset = ISO8859-1Since those lines are commented out, I believe this defaults to UTF-8.
