Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0 Mplayer 1.0rc2-4.1.2.
I have compiled and installed the mplayer tarball and I have disposed of both the tarball and its contents. There was the option to compile either for the physical console alone or for both this and the GUI. And I really don't remember which one I did choose.
I compiled my own kernel with tun/tap and bridge support. Both modules load fine at boot time (I could read that in the dmesg output). Now I want to use it, and the /dev/net/tun node is not there, so my application gives that error. I'm trying to bridge openvpn connections. Is it possible that udevd is not doing his work?
PS: I'm on a WD MyBook World Ed NAS device. It's ARM, so I cross compiled the kernel from my debian linux machine. I also installed debian on the NAS.)
I read this on Patrick's twitter: Considering compiling future 32-bit x86 Slackware packages for i686 and finally leaving i486 and i586 support behind. Would the devs mind sharing why the change hasn't been made? I'm guessing there must be a lot of Slackware users with 15-20 year old computers that want to run the latest software.

I've read alot on various forums of all the 5xxx users like me unable to properly setup the system and others who say thier video watching, wine game playing and composition are working fine. The problem is tearing while playing video or manipulating windows within the DE. I have read ALOT about this subject as it is obviously very important to me. I've read alot 60+ page threads on phoronics full of names like xv and libva and about using mplayer with gl so on and so forth. Problem is, I can't find a wiki to explain how they mesh together. My questions are:
1. Are certain libraries compiled with acceleration support?
2. If so, why are other libraries not compiled with acceleration support?
3. I get a feeling the libraries these guys are using are different ffmpeg and stuff that those in the repos. Are they?
4. If so, where do you get them?
In short, how does one get compositing and watch a movie tear free (the tearing occurs with or without compositing)? No amount of xorg.conf playing fixes it and the driver is properly installed with direct rendering.
compile mplayer & mencoder with VP8 support? also what with VP8 support in rpmfusion?

I am using mplayer with Umplayer/Smplayer as graphic front ends. I have enabled DVD menus by checking the box in Preference > Drives in Umplayer(also tried Smplayer) but there is still no menu when I stick a DVD in the dvd drive, on the other hand the menus show up if I use VLC to play the DVD so it is not the dvd's problem.
I have already installed libdvdnav4.
1) Does Karmic mplayer have VDPAU support out of the box? If not, why doesn't it?
2) Does LUCID mplayer have VDPAU support "..."?
3) If Lucid doesn't, can I use the Karmic VDPAU PPA for Lucid, or much I compile mplayer myself?
4) Point me to a place with instructions on compiling mplayer with VDPAU support. If you don't know, I'll just google it.
When I try mplayer with different distros, I get different results. Right now I have Kubuntu Karmic on the hard drive, but most of the time I'm running Kiara, which is a rebuild of Slax, from a live CD. With Slax, and (I believe) also with Slackware, Mplayer doesn't seem to support playing flv (flash video), or, strange to say, ogg. Now, with Karmic, I can't get full-screen video, though I can get that with most Debian-based distros, including the earlier kubuntu jaunty. Any way of closing up these gaps?

I thought this may be of interest, so I'm sharing. I've built some experimental mplayer packages for Fedora 11 and Rawhide (x86-32 and x86-64 arches) with shiny new features. Aside from being very recent snapshots, one of them includes support for hardware video playback acceleration via VDPAU and VAAPI, and the other includes support for multi-threaded playback (so you can split the decoding load across multiple cores).
The playback acceleration can definitely be used on NVIDIA adapters (from the GeForce 8xxx series onwards) using the proprietary driver (not, unfortunately, nouveau). Also on Intel Poulsbo (GMA 500) adapters, using my packaged version of the native driver for that chipset (link is in the blog post). VDPAU acceleration is also allegedly possible on S3 Chrome 530 GT and S3 Chrome 540 GTX adapters using S3�s own driver, but I haven't had the chance to test that. Multi-threaded playback can be done on any system, but only really makes sense on those with multiple processors (cores).

I am not able to play certain movie files with MPlayer since a few days:

I am not sure which filetypes are affected by this bug, but I can play *some* files. The specific file here used to work a few days ago.

The only major thing referring to multimedia in the past few days I remember is installing 'h264enc' from Packman, however, meanwhile I uninstalled this package, yet the problem persists.
Code:

The only way of solving this was moving MPlayers config, but that did not help either.

where I can find a package for mplayer with dvdnav support enabled?
I was disappointed to discover that in 10.04 dvdnav support was disabled in mplayer. I rely on it for my mythtv front end box to be able to play DVDs. According to a bug it was disabled because of an upstream email chain where dvdnav was considered 'experimental' and 'not ready for production use'. Funny as it worked fine for me.
Post #6 here is where I found the above reasoning for it being disabled.

I have a few ogg files that I want to put on my phone. My phone doesn't play oggs, so I need to convert. It's just an audiobook so I really don't care about quality. Oddly, nothing I try seems to be up to the task. Here's what I tried so far:
sox my.ogg my.mp3: "sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `x.mp3': SoX was compiled without MP3 encoding support" mencoder: wants video too?? Wha?? vlc (from GUI): "p, li { white-space: pre-wrapStreaming / Transcoding failed: It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder: MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3. If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution.
This is not an error inside VLC media player. Do not contact the VideoLAN project about this issue." lame my.ogg my.mp3: "sorry, vorbis support in LAME is deprecated." audicity (via GUI): success..but I'm now going to have to somehow script it. This is very annoying. It makes me want to rip directly into mp3 from now on. Is there an easy way to convert an ogg file to an mp3 from the command-line?
This should be a very elementary question. I have a URL like http://SERVERNAME/file.wmv. When I enter it in "Open Location" in gnome-mpLayer it connects to the server and plays the stream. But when I run

I think my usage of mplayer in the terminal is correct, since I can watch other URL's.It's only this specific one that doesn't work (I am not authorized to write the URL because they want it to be private.So my question is: Does anyone know why I get this loop? Or is it possible to see how mplayer is called by gnome-mplayer and what output messages it generates?I use gnome-mplayer 0.9.9.2 and mplayer 1.0rc4-4.4.5 on Ubuntu 10.10.
I have a HP laptop which can support 1600x900. But after I install ubuntu 9.10 on it, it can only support up to 1280x700. My laptop has a Nvidia graphics card. And i am using GNOME as my desktop environment.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI was unable to compile a program that used libicu42 on Ubuntu 11.04, because Ubuntu 11.04 has only libicu44 and does not have libicu42 installed. So during compile time I used g++ prog.c -L mylib/ to compile the program. mylib had libicu42 (This library is a shared library and has the .so extension). The program compiled successfully, but when I tried to run it, it failed and complained that it did not find libicu42. So I had to manually install libicu42 in /usr/lib. Then the program worked.'ldd prog' revealed that it looked for libicu42 in /usr/libWhat was the point of specifying the library path using -L, if the compiled program looked for the library in /usr/lib? It's almost like it was just to satisfy the compiler.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi couldn't find anything on google. So here is my problem: It's Debian GNU/Linux. I installed apache2 a few weeks ago, but due to some work I couldn't go on installing further things. Today I installed php5 and mysql. Everything seemed to work fine. I loaded an existing MyBB Board and WordPress Site onto the server and imported the mysql db. I can open the sites and login. However, there are problems. I think my problems are due to the compiled modules. Some are missing. I checked several sites. They all give me this listing:
Code:

What should I do? How can I get the missing modules? Do I have to install apache again (how? remove - install? install what?)? Step-by-step instructions would be kind, because I don't know a lot about unix systems.
install a newly compiled linker as the default linker on my VM running Ubuntu. I compiled and installed a new custom kernel on my VM (linux-2.6.36) and also compiled (not install) a custom gnu c library (glibc-2.11.2) on the newly installed custom kernel. I am able to run a simple helloworld.c program to verify that my program worked successfully using the newly build dynamic linker in the /elf directory.
I want to replace the real linker inside /lib with the new linker that I compiled. I tried to make the soft link named ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 that originally points to the real linker file ld-2.11.1.so, point to my newly compiled linker, but my VM crashed. I also tried moving the compiled linker and wrote it over the original linker, and the VM crashed. None of the commands worked after that as they could not access any of the shared libraries and I received this error '/bin/bash: No such file or directory'. I also tried to change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to my linker and did not have any luck there either.
I already have compiled the source and I want to make an rpm. What do i do with it? Can i utilize the make file?

About a month ago, I decided to go deeper in my Linux knowledge. I've been reading a lot and found out that Arch linux would be my learning distro. As I was installing Arch, it was a pain at first but I really learned a lot which I would never ever learn with Mint. Now I decided to take a step further is which "compiling your own kernel".
MY PROBLEM:
Everything was smooth in my Arch for a 2 weeks until I decided to compile my own kernel. I currently have a Nvidia GTX 460 1GB card.
BTW, the method I used to install nvidia with 2.6.37 was
Code:
pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils
and that worked with all of the .37 kernels (-1 -2 -3 -4) which was download from kernel.org.
When I compiled the .38 (using the same .config of .37), it just boots up to the terminal (not loading gdm). However, I could still login by typing my username and password. So I've checked dmesg of both .37 and .38 and noticed that the Nvidia driver is not loaded in .38.
I tried reinstall it by running pacman and it doesn't do anything. It was thinking of uninstalling nvidia and nvidia-utils but there are so many dependencies conflicts (like screensaver, compiz, etc).
Since, I didn't want to mess up my .37 install, I just grabbed an old HDD and installed from scratch again. This time, I compiled the .38 kernel first (without gui) and then installed nvidia nvidia-utils. It was the same problem.
With this observation, I'm concluding that the nvidia and nvidia-utils from pacman is not compatible with .38.
I've read that I have to wait for nvidia to release a driver that will be compatible with the .38 kernel. Is that true? Does it mean I have to wait for nvidia/nvidia-utils to be updated from pacman? How would I know when it is updated?
I've also read about nouveau, but I guess that is not for me because it doesn't support 3D.
Is there a work around for me to use nvidia/nvidia-utils with .38?
Is nvidia and nvidia-utils proprietary drivers? What is the difference with these two and the one you download directly from nvidia?
First of all, I apologize for the bombardment of questions. As you can tell, I'm so clueless on how nvidia drivers work on linux in general (since it was spoon fed by mint) and I really would love to learn about this is a deeper level. Could someone please explain to me (LAYMANS terms) how nvidia works (and possibly a solution to my issue).
EDIT: Additional info - I have a netbook that also runs arch. It uses an Intel GMA integrated video chip which I used "xf86-video-intel" from pacman and I believe since it is open source, it works with .38 fine. So does that mean if you use an open source driver, it will work with all other kernels?

Is this correct - I cannot compile fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c as modules, only as compiled elements? Or, is there some way for a module to overwrite these routines when the module is installed and re-enable the routines when the module is removed?
