Xine, XMMS & Mplayer's windows 'lags' and sometimes stick to the mouse pointer
by Henrik Lind 16 Aug '03

16 Aug '03

Yes I know, it's sounds very wierd and dosen't make much sense :) In Xine & Mplayer it's the video window that sometimes have the 'urge' to get stuck on the mouse pointer, after I have tried to move the window. It goes something like this. Step 1 : Point at the main title bar of the window. Step 2 : Push and Hold the left mouse button Step 3 : Move the window The window does NOT move with the mouse pointer. Step 4 : Let go of the mouse button and do step 1 and 2 again. Still the window does not move, but if u let go of the mouse button it snaps to the mouse pointer (without holding any button down). This also happens with the visual scope thing in XMMS. Other tested distro's are : Mandrake 9.0 9.1 9.2beta2 , Libranet 2.8 , Suse 8.2, and they do not act like this. Using the NV driver (I have a Creative 3D Blaster4 4800-SE) I could try and installe the NVIDIA driver..... Just wondering if I should report this to bugzilla?

Re: lost the GNOME panel, how do I get it back?
by Jef Spaleta 16 Aug '03

16 Aug '03

>HOW do I get back the default panel? Have you tried running gnome-panel from a terminal, to get a fresh panel? Did you have gnome setup to autosave session on logout? I've found that that autosave session on logout feature can be a little counter-intutive if you have a problem severe enough to segfault out a program you normally expect to be running like gnome-panel or nautilus. It seems the autosave session on logout does its job too well and notices the fact that a something like gnome-panel isn't running and so saves the session state that way. So with autosave session on logout enabled...you can't just use a logout/login trick to recover if something segfaults out or whatever. I'd imagine from a non-technical user perspective this would be extremely frustrating..you dont know why something stopped working...you logout and login again..and its still not working...sometimes becuase that autosave feature is enable...so a program just isnt started. If there was some way for autosave session to know the difference when a program was disabled by a user or stopped working because of some unknown error...and would not autosave some session state info if it noticed an error..that would be good...but thats probably not so easy to implement. -jef

Severn doesn't like my onboard 1394 controller, but RH 9 worked
by RaXeT 15 Aug '03

15 Aug '03

Here is something of interest. Tell me if I should post bug report: I installed severn over the top of RH 9 Shrike I had to disable my Onboard 1394 Controller on my Asus P4PE mobo to first get past the following error using any install from CD: "loading sbp2.o" Just wouldn't go. Finally installed severn by disabling 1394 onboard in bios. Now here is the rub. If I "Enable" 1394 in bios and reboot after install, I get the following messages in sys log: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loading sb2p.o module SCSI0: SCSI emulation for IEEE-1394 SBP-2 Devices blk:queue C1993014, I/O limit 4095 mb mask 0xffffffff IEEE1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And that's where it hangs, dirty shut down required Go figure?? Here is what lspci shows after clean boot without 1394 on board : 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset Host Bridge (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 02) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #1) (rev 02) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #2) (rev 02) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #3) (rev 02) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB2 (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA/CA/DB/EB PCI Bridge (rev 82) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DB LPC Interface Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DB Ultra ATA Storage Controller (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R300 ND [Radeon 9700 Pro] 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R300 [Radeon 9700 Pro] (Secondary) 02:05.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) 02:09.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB12LV26 IEEE-1394 Controller (Link) 02:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

>Isn't it a good thing to find out the truth? Is it a good thing to make baseless,factless accusations in public? Aren't we encouraging the continued creation of baseless accusations if we jump to respond to each and every one which come to past? You have to take the track-record of the accuser into account when evaluating accusations based on "private" conversations from "inside" sources.If the person making the public accusation has a history of crying wolf...or over-blowing the situation to inflame passions because of a specific bias...should that person continue to receive the same level of respectful discourse in the future? At some point, the person repeated looking for public answers to private rumors, looses credibility...and looks more like a source of rumor making...than someone looking for "the truth." Féliciano's judgements about mosfet's longterm interests and motivations probably have a more certain "truth" than some rumors. I think i heard Fox News was going to offer mosfet a job to do reporting about IT...becuase he his commentary meets a certain standard of unbaisedness and factuality. -jef"the answers to the questions here are no,yes,no"spaleta

Sox and soxmix [bugzilla bug#102499]
by Jared Smith 15 Aug '03

15 Aug '03

I've already filed this in bugzilla under bug #102499, but I thought I'd post here for some input. The RPM for sox (a sound manipulation program) is missing soxmix (a program for mixing two audio streams together into one file). I've looked at the spec file, and found the following: # remove unpackaged files from the buildroot rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir}/soxmix My question is this: Is there any specific reason you are removing soxmix from the RPM? To make a long story short, I've created a patch (attached to the bug report in bugzilla) that fixes the problem. I hope my little contribution helps someone else out and can find its way into the next beta (if it's not too late). I'd appreciate any feedback you might want to share with me... Jared Smith
