Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Temporarily Disable OpenAL
Mar 25, 2010
Having an issue with PlaneShift in regards to this error in terminal:
Code:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 731: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed! On search of the PlaneShift forums, I saw someone state disabling OpenAL would fix this.
I've searched Google and these forums, but still can't find a guide to disable OpenAL. So how would I go about disabling this temporarily so I can get PlaneShift working?

I'm looking to temporarily disable NetworkManager while I configure some things in a shell. It's interfering by auto-reconnecting and using the network interface in the process. I've tried killing the process but that just seems to disconnect the network not kill the NetworkManager applet. I don't want to uninstall, and I don't want to have it disabled on startup. I just want to "close" it or "turn it off" temporarily! How can I do this? Also, I'm using 10.04

I'm currently trying to learn how to get around Blender, but I keep running into the same problem. Blender relies heavily on shortcuts and keystrokes to navigate it's GUI, but very often they clash with the shortcuts on my desktop. The result is that the desktop shortcut wins, making Blender impossible to use effectively.
Is there any way to disable the desktop shortcuts temporarily while using the software, and then setting them back when I'm done?

Is there a way to just temporarily disable pulseaudio and use alsa instead?
Or run a program under alsa while letting pulse sit in the background?
I'm getting sick and tired of not being able to play any platinum games on wine...

Is there any way to temporarily "switch off (and back on)" the internet connection on a system (that runs linux)? The following methods are not allowed:Turning off the router. That would lead to a lot of angry young individuals. This method must be particular to my workstation.Use root privileges (coz I do not have them).
Yank the ethernet cable from the system.Why: Sometimes the internet proves to be a distraction.I am using the following system: Fedora release 11 (Leonidas), linux kernel 2.6.30 and GNOME 2.26.3

I am trying to run a game that uses OpenAL for sound (Army Operations 2.50 for Linux) and I receive the following error when the game starts:
Code:

I have quite a strange problem with Skype and Opensuse. First problem was that when I used microphone on Audigy 4 (from some reason recognised as Audigy 2) the sound which people received from me was very chirpy. This problem was solved easily, I just turned my on-board sound system on and started using micorphone from integrated card. And here comes my weird problem. Microphone works all right, but only for short period. After some time after I start talking to someone on Skype the microphone turns itself off, but I can still hear my interlocutors. The only solution is to go to Yast and restart sound system or to restart whole computer, both of which are not real solutions, but well, they sort of work. I'm using Opensuse 11.2 x64.

When connecting to my Ubuntu box from my Windows 7 machine via Telnet, the session will sometimes freeze for a few seconds before allowing me to continue typing. This seems to happen every few minutes. Both machines are wireless and I am connecting through my local network.

I'm attempting to disable RandR so that fglrx can control X without interference. I've already followed this advice from another thread, but aticonfig still indicates that RandR is active:
Code:
$ aticonfig --enable-monitor=0
Error: option --enable-monitor is not supported when RandR 1.2 is enabled!

How do I temporarily but completely uninstall Ubuntu 10.4? I can't locate it in my registry, either using RegEdit or Revo Uninstaller. This is temporary. I will re-install on a different computer of mine that has much greater memory.

When I first installed Ubuntu, I installed the ATI drivers with Catalyst Control Center, too. I believe the next time I restarted my computer, it was overscanned. It had the 2 inch border around my display. It was terrible, and I wanted to stop using Ubuntu because I couldn't find a fix. I finally removed the drivers through the terminal (don't remember how) and the border was gone.
The problem is, I don't have any actual drivers for this card installed. It's a Radeon HD 4650. I was thinking of trying: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
Would the be a way to remove overscan with that? Or is there a way with ATI's closed source drivers I had the first time? Ubuntu crashes sometimes and the screen goes all weird, which I'm pretty sure is from the video card. I also can't see the boot splash for Ubuntu when starting up the computer, which I've heard can be caused by your video card.
I'd like to have the drivers for my card, but not have to worry about the damn 2 inch overscan.

I was configuring mythtv and when I was in the video settings I set it up to use OpenGL. Now I can no longer see video and I can't get back to the settings screen to disable OpenGL. Is there a config file that I can edit to disable OpenGL or someway to revert everything back to default. I tried completely removing the frontend and reinstalling it but that didn't do anything.

I have had ubuntu installed for a few months now and have been loving it. Yesterday I wanted to get JDK installed for a found a forum that said how to install it on ubuntu. The installation was not a success (I am not sure why because I am not skilled when it comes to the command line and I didn't understand the error). Later, I tried to install a different application just through the ubuntu software center and it said it was waiting for a different software manager to finish. I didn't understand what was still running because I had all other applications closed that I know of.
Once I restarted the problem was the same. Then I found a bug where people had the same problem with the software manager and they entered this and fixed it:
sudo dpkg --configure -a Now whenever I try to apt-get anything I get:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

I have been experiencing issues when switching users since my last update; I filed a bug, but I was interested if anybody else was having the same problem:URL...In a nutshell the computer freezes temporarily during the switch user process. The longer it is running, the longer the freeze lasts. When frozen the screen is black except for a mouse pointer; but the mouse and keyboard are not responsive including the usual X command keys (Ctrl-Alt-Del, Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc.).When I get the chance I am going to rollback gdm to see if that makes a difference.

As part of my job, I have to configure a lot of network devices that are configured through web pages. This generally means plugging in to them via ethernet, going to their default IP address and reconfiguring them. I set my IP address using ifconfig, which is much faster than plugging numbers in to networkmanager's GUI. The problem is, NetworkManager seems to take the interface down at random.I could disable NetworkManager but then I don't have a wireless connection.Is there a way to tell NetworkManager to temporarily ignore what is happening on a specific interface or should I just ditch NM altogether when doing this kind of work and use wpa_supplicant to get on my wireless?My co-worker with the Windows machine is looking over my shoulder and chuckling

I have been using totem player as my default video player. I've abstained from using VLC player considering the fact that it's got some security issues. Of late, I've installed and was mighty impressed by Mplayer because it could play .flv files which totem player couldn't. The only thing which I find irksome is its multiple instances. Can you please help me disable multiple instances in Mplayer. (I've experienced same problem in VLC player too, but right now I'm trying to stick with Mplayer)

I would like to disable the headphone jack shutting off main speakers when I plug headphones in. I know this sounds odd. But when I use mixxx I would like to be able to use the line out for external amp hook up. The headphones for cueing. This worked after I installed mixxx but once I rebooted the computer it no longer worked.

Is it possible to temporarily enable all repos from within the command line? It would be useful when searching for packages. ie yum enablerepo=* search tint2 (which doesn't work btw!)

This is probably already on these forums, but I recently re-installed suse 11.3 and had the desktop effects working fine with the desktop cube animation and everything. But not the case this time...I resume compositing, and try my desktop effect shortcuts, but nothing happens and it comes up saying for me to press Alt+Shift+F12 to resume the compositing again. I do that, but still nothing, and I even re-apply the desktopct settings completely and restart the computer and it comes up saying that none of them were activated or something in the notifications pop-up on the bottom right of the screen. I thought I downloaded the right files (OpenGL??) from the repositories along with basically anything I thought would make it work.

Midnight Commander startup is usually instantaneous, but when the network (eth0) is down, mct takes over a minute to start.This is a known problem. See:#40 (savannah: MC doesn't open if network gateway inaccessible.) (07 Jan 2007)for example. The problem seems to be caused by mc's use of samba. Is there a known solution or circumvention? The above file advises me to "comment out the eth0 interface from the smb.conf "; however, my /etc/samba/smb.conf seems to have no eth0 interface.The "man mc" file mentions that "smbfs" is one of the virtual file systems used internally by mc. I tried reducing the "vfs" timeout in the ".mc/ini" file from 60 to 5, but this had no effect on the startup time.
