[OT] ffmpeg buffer underflow
by Mark Haney 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

I know this is slightly off topic, but it's driving me nuts and I want to see what the Fedora community says before I have to hit up the ffmpeg list. I've been using ffmpeg for years converting digital video into DVD format. The basic command line hasn't changed for me: ffmpeg -i [inputfile.avi] -target ntsc-dvd outfile.mpg I've never had a problem with this before, but with the latest ffmpeg I'm getting killed with buffer underflows even on files I have encoded successfully in the past. I've googled for an answer and all the ones I've found have been ~1 year old. Does anyone have an idea or should I pester the ffmpeg list (or whatever list is appropriate).

Samba 4
by Gabriel VLASIU 15 Apr '13

15 Apr '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi! Maybe someone can help me with samba 4 (F18). In previous version (samba 3/F17) I had this definition for a share: [xxx] path = /xxx browseable = yes writable = yes ; writable = no printable = no public = yes guest only = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 force group = xxx The important thing here is "create mask". I do not want all files created by users to be executable in linux. The same definition work in samba 4 with the exception of running windoze .exe files from the share. In windoze, there is no read & exec permissions associated with the file. Only read for everyone and read/write for unix user/group. I can manually set the exec flag (from linux or windoze) but this has to be made every time someone copy an executable file. Any chance to revert to the behavior from samba 3? Thank you.

Dell Inspiron 1100 and Intel 82845 video problems
by Kevin Cummings 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

A week or so ago, I came into this Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop, and I boot it with the Fedora 17 Live CD. The system booted, but fell into Gnome 3 Fallback mode. At least the system runs, so I installed to Hard-Disk. when it rebooted, I started to have graphics problems. X either failed to start, or it presented me a completely black login screen (I'm not sure which). Through some finagling, I was able to login on a Console Terminal, and I got my WiFi dongle working (The ethernet cable had been also working). I was then able to run yum for all the updates. Great! Now I have 2 kernels installed: 3.3.4-5 from the live CD and 3.8.4-102 from updates. Now I *still* can't get a visible graphical login to display. After some more playing with the /boot/grub2/grub.cfg file, I was able to make the following changes: Changed the system font from TRUE to a real font name. Changed the gfxpayload=keep to 832x624. Now, when I boot either the 3.3.4 kernel, or the 3.3.4 recovery kernel, I have a graphical login screen (at 1024x768 resolution). But, If I try and boot any of the 3.8.4 kernel entries (with the same changes that work for the 3.3.4 boot), I can see a mouse cursor (sometimes in a "subset" of the full screen) that seems to work, but no other visible indication that X is running. Now, here's the kicker: If I position the mouse to where my userid would be listed near the middle of the login screen, click, then wait a couple of seconds, then type my password, My X11 session starts to appear. But, not everything displays perfectly. There are lot's of "dropouts" in the menu texts. For example, there is no visible text on the XFCE applications pulldown (it should say: Applications). In Thunderbird, the top menu bar says: "F ", "Ed ", "V w", "O_ " etc The text in the title bar is OK, as is the text I type in this compose message window. But, the Task Manager buttons are also incomplete (one of them says "T rm -r @kj 3:~"). xrandr lists both the LVDS and the VGA ports at 1024x768, 800x600, & 640x480, and that is running in 1024x768 mode. Any ideas what's wrong? I'd prefer to be running the latest kernel over the older LiveCD kernel.... -- Kevin J.

DSoD : Diagonal Screen of Death
by Beartooth 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

On Fedora 17 and 18 I sometimes get a display like nothing else I know. It's made up of short horizontal lines, some in color, arranged into long diagonals that cover the screen, with about the angle of a backslash. The little lines in each group are parallel, and there's always a little space between every group and the next. It comes up suddenly, on a key press or a mouse click. Once it comes up, it owns the machine -- nothing the mouse or keyboard can do (that I know of, anyway) has any effect, and I have to hit the reset button. I have yet to discover any correlation with any user action : afaict, some power of darkness arms the trigger, apparently randomly, and the next thing I do brings on the crash. Has anyone else seen this? Diagnosed it? Found any prevention or cure?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck, Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

configuring fetchmail while accessing internet from behind proxy server
by Ranjan Maitra 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Dear friends, I have looked around a fair bit but have no leads so I am throwing this out here just hoping that someone here can help. I can currently only access the internet using a proxy server and a specified port. My question: what should I change in my .fetchmailrc settings to be able to fetch mail using fetchmail?

Alternatively just use gsettings to turn on in gnome. check current setting: gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer Turn on locate-pointer: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse locate-pointer true Alan
