Software :: Crash When Mplayer Tries To Use Fbdev In An Xterm?
Feb 23, 2010
I am running Slackware 12.2, and if in an xterm I use mplayer to play a video using:Code:mplayer -vo fbdev2or something similar, the video starts "playing" in a very weird way and winds up locking up my computer. I typically can CTRL+ALT+Delete to make the computer restart, but I absolutely hate having to restart. Is there a way to get my computer to "refresh" and forget about the screwy use of the framebuffer

I have just done a clean install on slackware64-current and I am suffering some graphics problems.I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 card in my Laptop (Never been an issue before), however, the issue begins before I even start X server.On the first boot, the screen went purple then entirely blank.Second boot got me to a login, so I logged in and installed my packages. I started my WM (Ratpoison) and any attempt to start any windows resulted in an x-server crash and the message:
Module fbdev not available (Paraphrasing here).Is anyone else suffering this?I will note that everything works flawlessly on the previous current build.

Start xpdf or gv. Click an xterm to be active and slide it over xpdf/gv. Vertical lines from xpdf/gv under the xterm stick to the xterm window above and make it unreadable.
The problem does NOT show with KDE default settings with display effects on but does show in fvwm, xfce etc, and in KDE without effects.
On a system with a Sandy Bridge integrated graphics (i5-2400) the problem went away by downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.13.0. But it was not enough for another system with 945G which needed downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.12.0.

On Slackware 13.1, I am trying to connect to another computer using:
X :1.0 -query <hostname>
but I get a black screen and then the following error:
$ X :1.0 -query slackserver

I tried to connect to both another Slackware 13.1 computer and a Debian computer. I also edited the /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess file on the remote host to enable the graphical login access. I always get the same error.

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
mplayer "URL"
in the terminal I get a crazy endless loop of
Playing URL.
Resolving SERVERNAME for AF_INET6...
Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6: SERVERNAME
Resolving SERVERNAME for AF_INET...
Connecting to server SERVERNAME[xxx.xx.xxx.xx]: 80...
Cache size set to 320 KBytes
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'm running Fedora 15 with current updates and kernel. I do not have anything special or non-standard about my configuration or setup. I use grsync to sync my home folder files to a remote rsync server on my network. I've checked my hard drives and my memory and everything else I can think. Here is the problem:
grsync will run for some time and once it nears completion it will crash. This, however, is no standard crash. It literally shuts my computer "OFF". I have shared the remote rsync folder through CIFS as well and I can copy those exact same files through nautilus with drag and drop without issue. I have had a few occasions where the rsync process will complete without issue, but this is a rare occasion. Since it powers my computer completely off I do not enjoy the luxury of having any log files or messages to attempt to diagnose from.

I have a normal computer installed (F14, 32 bits) with a sound card correctly installed. In a normal configuration into runlevel 5, I can play sound and the sound card is visible from the gnome-volume-control window.
I should modify the computer running a naked X server (without window manager and other stuff) and two applications (an xterm and a special application managing sounds). The last application is a text based application and could run on a text console. I have the X server running because I display picture sent from another computer. Currently the computer boots on runlevel 3 and logs in automatically. If I start manually my special application, it runs fine. I create a .xinitrc script with the xterm command and I change the .bashrc calling xinit. Each application runs well independently. My problem is when I try running my special sound application from the xterm window. I have no sound. If a run the gnome-volume-control command, the program shows that no sound card is available.
I suppose the X server removes the original sound configuration of the text mode during its initialization and could not initialize correctly after that the sound card.
how it is possible to initialize the sound card manually into the X server? Do I need running some gnome command before I can call my application?

I am running Fedora 14 and have run into a new problem. If I do either "su -" and enter password, or, "sudo su -" the terminal stops. I put a set -x in roots .bashrc and nothing. Login from a vt works and loging in as root from gdm produces nothing.

I recently upgraded from xubuntu 9.04 to 11.04, and it seems xterm is either incorrectly configured for the new desktop or not working right. After a bit of typing, xterm stops refreshing, and only the first few chars or words are shown until I manually refresh xterm (then, whatever I'd written shows up correctly).
Steps to reproduce
1. Open xterm, basic command prompt shows up
2. Type "hello, this is a test", xterm only shows "hello, th"
3. Press 'ctrl-l' or click outside the xterm window, xterm updates with full "hello, this is a test"
Already tried dpkg-reconfigure with no success.
Attached is the output from "appres XTerm" and "infocmp"

I had this error when installing and running a vncserver before, which I have now removed. However, the xterm's seem to remain in the system and are regenerating themselves. Should the pid IDs stay the same each time I run this?
Code:
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15034 15033 15032 15031 15030 15029 15028 15027 15026
[root nxserver]# pidof xterm
15044 15043 15042 15041 15040 15039 15038 15037 15036

I want to run some parts of a script in different terminals. I already found about subshell, () using parenthesis to group commands and using xterm -e (function), problem is I cannot get pid for the function running in the other terminal. And if I use & to set the job in background the terminal goes away as soon as it ends the job. I am using log files, and then send it them using built in mail. After all the parts finish I have to run the "main" script which needs the data from all the pieces. Also other question, i usually use bash, but to load a tool i need csh, the tool is not mine so i can not change the csh usage. There is anyway of passing bash scripts/commands at the moment of changing/invoking to csh shell in the same console?

The usual operations in starting the xterm app don't seem to apply in Fedora 12. I usually prefer to put my own title and other attributes when starting an xterm. But the operation: xterm -T 'Some Title' does not do anything. Instead, the current directory is always displayed in the title bar of the window (on kde). Where is the resource file to disable this default behavior?

Is there any config files for xterm for default settings? For example, on my system, xterm start with black text on white background, and I want it the other way around. I can do it by starting it with:
xterm -bg black -fg white.
I want to set in a config file that if I run it without arguments, it will start with these options.

Something weird sometimes happens on my Debian system. Typically at the prompt line I can use combo like alt-d to delete a word, alt-f to go to the next word, etc. But quite regularly something happens in my xterm that makes alt-d and alt-f not work anymore: suddenly they print 'ä' (alt-d) and 'æ' (alt-f).
Note that this happens in a terminal that was acting like I wanted to at first. But then somehow must send a code or something that changes the behavior of the terminal. It happens in xterm because that's where I always work. If I go to a console by doing ctrl+alt+f1 then by default alt-d does what I want (delete word) and so does alt-f. Maybe that I could screw that one too by doing some bad manipulation: I just don't know because I don't work in text mode.
Also note that if I spawn an xterm from the "broken" xterm, then the new xterm work as I expect. What is going on? What am I turning on that was off previously? My .Xresources says that and, once again, when I open an xterm it behaves as I expect it, it's only later on that "something" makes that it goes back to broken "I-print-characters-with-diacritics-and-other-nonsense" mode:
$ more .Xresources
XTerm.vt100.eightBitInput: false
XTerm*eightBitInput: False

When the correct password is entered the screen goes to black briefly then returns to the logon screen. It appears I can only logon to an xterm session. how to proceed next?

The following line is in the /etc/bashrc file. I was trying to decipher it but no google results explain it in detail.PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne 33]0;${USER}${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}07"'I understand that 33 is the ASCII character for ESC but not sure what ]0 does or anything after the HOSTNAME variable.
