Re: DVD problem
by Paulo Cavalcanti 04 Jan '07

Hi, Anne lets go by parts. As I said before, I do not know why xine is not reading your dvds. 1) Xine should be statically linked against ffmpeg, so it will not be affected by the update. xine-lib comes from extras. You only need the gui (xine) and the non free part: xine-lib-moles from freshrpms (equivalent to xine-lib-extras-nonfree from livna). 2) On the other hand, the update will fix libavcodec, needed by mplayer. Therefore, you have three programs to try: xine, mplayer and vlc. All of them use libdvdcss, that you have to install. 3) mjpegtools 1.9.0 has a bug. It does not recognize -p S The command 'lavplay -p S filename.avi' gives: Unknown playback mode: 'S' Version 1.9.1 from cvs (ATrpms) fixes this, and works with libquicktime 0.9.8. http://dl.atrpms.net/all/mjpegtools-devel-1.9.1-14_cvs20061009.fc6.at.i386.… I suppose you were using mjpegtools 1.8. 3) dvdrip is based on transcode, and uses mjpegtools for SVCD encoding. I have used it many times for converting a dvd to avi (compressing with xvid, in general). It is very simple to use, but it has to be able to rip the dvd first. Otherwise, nothing else can be done. It is transcode that forces the upgrade of mjpegtools to 1.9. And finally, mythtv (a very popular PVR) requires transcode. The main problem is that everything is connected, and must match. /Paulo Roma

autoextractible archive

Hi, I need to make a simple command line installer (a binary file that would uncompress its content when run, then execute an arbitrary comand) but I didn't find such a utility in fedora packages. Does anybody know one ? Thanks

Will my graphics card support this?
by awrobinson-ml＠nc.rr.com 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

I received a Dell 20 inch monitor for Christmas. It's native resolution is 1680x1050. Looking at my Xorg.0.log file, I find these lines: (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1680x1050" (hsync out of range) (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1680x1050" (hsync out of range) (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1680x1050" (hsync out of range) (II) NVIDIA(0): Not using default mode "1680x1050" (hsync out of range) (II) NVIDIA(1): Not using default mode "1680x1050" (hsync out of range) (II) NVIDIA(1): Not using default mode "1680x1050" (hsync out of range) (II) NVIDIA(1): Not using default mode "1680x1050" (hsync out of range) (II) NVIDIA(1): Not using default mode "1680x1050" (hsync out of range) Do these lines mean my video card will not support this resolution or that I need to do some configuration to get the card to support this resolution or something else entirely? Thanks! Andrew Robinson

The changelog does not clarify this for me... thanks. g/

Re: bacula server

Thanks again mostly u/we got it to work so far. However it is asking for a pile of dependancies. I know give a guy an inch and he will try to take a mile or km here in Canada. Is there a way to install without any gui stuff or mabey i am wrong mabey there is no gui stuff. Some of the dependancies for those dependancies are X11 related. I do not have any X11 stuff on this box it has no xwindows/gnome system and is minimum install Command prompt only. So before i go ahead and make a big mess of my faily clean fedora box do i really need all these or is there a way to turn some of them off. Thanks again and sorry about top post i think my clock was messed up not sure how it happend but should be fixed now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Howarth <paul(a)city-fan.org> To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list(a)redhat.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 1:10:02 AM GMT-0700 Subject: Re: bacula server On Mon, 2006-03-13 at 17:11 -0700, RYAN M. vAN GINNEKEN wrote: > First off thanks to all for your tremendous help without it i would have probably given up on bacula by now.

Also, maybe consider using Bastille Linux to lock it down a bit tighter. All depends on how secure and what you want to allow them to be able to do. See: http://www.bastille-linux.org/

GnomeBaker and unmounting RW media
by Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hi! I'm using GnomeBaker on FC6 to write CD/DVD. When I insert an RW media that already carries some content, Gnome correctly mounts and pops up an window for it. If then I try to write to this media using GnomeBaker, it's not possible because the media is mounted. The problem is: IMHO either GnomeBaker should unmount the media, or there should be an option when right-clicking over it (the media) to unmount it. Right now I have to open a terminal, 'su' to root and unmount it. How can I make this somehow automated, or at least get the unmount option on Gnome? -- % Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) | Maceio/AL/BR % % mteixeira{a}webset{d}net | http://smartpm.org % % http://mteixeira.webset.net | http://pmping.sf.net %

Custom DVD
by Астахов Петр 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Hello! If I put FC6-CDx-*.iso somewhere in the network available via nfs, I can load from 1-st CD-disk, select installation method NFS and enter path to this isos. All ok. But if I put 5 iso-files on the DVD and try to install from my own DVD, installer can't found packages. Why I want such DVD? If you have DVD on destination computer, installation will be easy. If you don't have DVD on destination computer - you can write ISO-s to CD and install FC from CD. Is anybody can help me with this problem?
