I have installed mpd & GMPC. I've set the MPC config to point to /Music & chown'd it to mpc. When I try to play a MP3 I get an error in GMPC saying"mpd reported problems decoding mp3"
edit: I tried playing from files instead of an saved playlist.. it worked
it doesn't save the size of the window after i 'quit' and re-start it, even after i enable that option

I believe I have correctly installed the xvba driver and I think I just need to setup vlc correctly but I am not sure of this.

I have installed debian jessie stable and would like to use hardware decoding with the nouveau driver. I have tested with the propietary nvidia 340.65 driver and MPV and successfully enabled hardware decoding. However, there seems to be a frame sync issue with mutter and nvidia that I want to avoid. I've followed the instructions for enabling hardware decoding with nouveau here, hURL..., but haven't had success. What I've done so far is install jessie stable, run updates, install mplayer2, mpv, mesa-vdpau-drivers, and follow the previously mentioned guide. Mplayer2 throws an error about not finding the proper codec. MPV at least attempts to play the video but promptly freezes the system so that I can't recover without rebooting. URL....
View 0 Replies View RelatedI've setup a EEEBox 1501P exclusively to work as a Media Center. So i've picked up Ubuntu 11.04 x64, and Boxee x64 (latest), and installed the nVIDIA drivers directly from site. The problem is that video playback at 720p is a bit sloppy! I've tried on VLC player for example, and the CPU cores are at 10%. But when i use Boxee, one core gets stuck at 100%, and the others at 10%.
So this means that currently, boxee, cannot handle hardware acceleration in x86_64 Linux! My question is:What software can I use to set-up my Ubuntu-based Media Center?
I'm owning an old single Core AMD (Opteron 148, like Athlon 64 3200+), it can't play h264 1080p-Videos without framedrops in active scenes. I'm also owning an not so old AMD/Ati Radeon HD 2400. It's not an UVD2 card, it's not even UVD+, its UVD i.e. UVD1. All articles regarding GPU h264 decoding I've found so far are saying "for vaapi gpu decoding on linux you need to have a UVD2 card". That's wrong! My UVD1-Card is playing fine some demo movies.
Setup:

It's a two Monitor setup with fglrx' big Desktop. On the right there's running a movie Trailer (I Am Legend) and on the left there's some status info. Quality is not perfect (as you can see, horizontal displacement), but it's basically working.

2 months ago, I built a dedicated backup server using 4 2TB SATA drives for software RAID5 (6TB total). A few days ago, smartd sent out mail saying it found an unreadable sector on one of the drives. I ran selftest using smartctl and the error persisted. So far, neither software RAID nor ext4fs running on top of the RAID volume have reported errors.
MOST OPTIMISTIC: It is normal to have a few bad sectors among billions. Software RAID takes care of alternatives. Keep using the system until RAID spits a more serious warning in the future.
MOST PESSIMISTIC: It is a really bad sign to lead a disaster. No good disk drive should have bad sectors especially when it is only 2 months old. The error is simply not detected by software RAID and ext4. Replace the drive immediately and return the bad drive to the supplier.

When I setup Intrepid (upgraded to Jaunty now), I chose to create a swap partition. I don't remember the size I specified. Here's what I'm confused about When I do 'cat /proc/meminfo' or 'free' or use the system monitor, it reports my swap size as 1262304 KB (i.e. 1.2GB). But if I do a 'fdisk -l', the partition size is reported as 746991 blocks (of 1024 bytes) and if I use the partition editor it says it's 729.48MB. XP disk mgmt shows it as app. 700MB too
View 9 Replies View RelatedCurrently I am running Ubuntu on my laptop however my desktop is still XP pro. I want to move from XP to a Linux (Ubuntu) or Unix distro (BSD). My desktop is used as my ftp server, music/network storage, and for syncing my iPod with iTunes. The only thing that is keeping me from totally reinstalling the OS on that computer is iTunes. I know there are tons of applications out there that will sync your music to your iPod however I want to still be able to use itunesu and some other features in iTunes. My plan is to run a *nix os but have xp running in virtual box for iTunes. Has anyone else done this and if you have is it a huge pain? Is there a better way to go about what I'm trying to do? I have tried to get the newer iTunes installers to work with wine but I haven't gotten it to work yet. I get errors and the errors are reported bugs on winehq.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy MP3 Player (Zen:Vision:M) has roughly 60 GB of space and yet Ubuntu insists only 3.6 GB is available. I know this is not true because in Windows the correct amount of room is displayed and can be filled up. Because my music collection is stored in my Linux partition I need to solve this issue if I'm going to actually use my MP3 Player. What is also interesting is the fact that the device doesn't show up in Gparted, System Monitor or fdisk.
When I attempt to look at the Zen's contents through Nautilus I get this message:

On my dell inspiron laptop if I use a live cd to boot into Ubuntu and then reboot into Windows the computer freezes up within 5 minutes. I uninstalled everything that I had put onto my computer since I purchased it (less than a week ago) in desperate measures because I was ready to take it back and play stupid to get a replacement. Once I went on an uninstalling frenzy my problem was fixed, but I had to know if it was from a program I installed or the live cd I used so I tried it again and sure enough, within 5 minutes my computer was unresponsive. I was using usb flash drives for my live cd and this was on a different flash drive than the first. Just thought it should be known, and I'm not doing it again once I fix my less than a week old computer from this again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 15 twice last night because I thought I had screwed up the installation somehow when I ran a df -h and found that it reported all my LVM partitions twice (/, /home, and /var) and it also showed /var/tmp mounted on the same logical volume that /var was mounted on (lv02 = /var AND lv02=/var/tmp). I've never seen this before and it definitely didn't appear like this in Fedora 14. Is this something new to Fedora 15?

I inherited a centos 5.2 server at my work. I didn't know anything about it when I got it except that the fate of the organization rested on my ability to manage it. I've gotten along fine with it. I don't really like it, but it mostly works. I learned a lot in the process. Anyway, I went bought some more ram for the box because, hey, it's a server and it will serve faster with more RAM. So it had 3x512mb and I took out one of the 512mb and put in 2x1gb (it's only got four slots). I rebooted and and top reports 1585152k of ram. It should be 3gb. So I haul out a monitor and keyboard because I want to see if the BIOS sees more. Sure enough, on boot I arrive at a grub/centos boot screen and it says somewhere that I have 3gb, I boot and top still reports 1585152k.
How do I make this computer realize it has more RAM?
incoming connections are not being reported to my /var/log/secure. I can't see if people are trying to connect. I can't troubleshoot because I can't do anything.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've ran "powertop" on my computer and it showed horrible amount of wake-ups per second:
Code:
Cn Avg residency P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running) (26.7%) 2.81 Ghz 100.0%
polling 0.0ms ( 0.0%) 1400 Mhz 0.0%

350 Mhz 0.0%
Wakeups-from-idle per second : 63944.8 interval: 5.0s
no ACPI power usage estimate available
Top causes for wakeups:
45.1% ( 15.6) <interrupt> : pata_atiixp
26.0% ( 9.0) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start_range_ns (tick_sched_timer)
9.2% ( 3.2) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer)
5.8% ( 2.0) <kernel core> : add_timer_on (clocksource_watchdog)
1.7% ( 0.6) <interrupt> : ohci_hcd:usb4, radeon, yenta
1.7% ( 0.6) Xorg : queue_delayed_work (delayed_work_timer_fn)
Suggestion: increase the VM dirty writeback time from 5.00 to 15 seconds with:
Echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
This wakes the disk up less frequently for background VM activity
Q - Quit R - Refresh W - Increase Writeback time
If I wait it decreases to 50000, but it is still huge!
Situation is duplicated after complete F12 re-install. All defaults are used and no changes performed after install. Just checked again and let computer run idle for a while. Powertop reports 79604 wake-up per second, even more than before. Again, the top cause is "pata_atiixp". Also, performing suggestions of powertop shown at the bottom of the program does not help either. That decreases wake-up by a few hundreds only. Wake-ups are still well over 50000.
