October meeting...
by Simon Parkes 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

So guys, do you want me to go ahead and get the place booked at Red Lodge for October 28th ??? Things sort of petered off on this, but if I'm to get something organised I need to know, what's the general consensus.. Simon

Re: [Alug] Xine

When I run Xine in a terminal I get this: xine open dvd://VIDEO_TS.VOB, start pos = 0 input_dvd: seek VIDEO_TS.VOB to block 0x240: 0x120000 select audio channel : 0 ac3_reset input_dvd: read error: Input/output error demux_mpeg_block: checking if we can branch to dvd://VTS_01_0.VOB input_dvd: is_branch_possible to dvd://VTS_01_0.VOB ? video stream end audio stream end xine_notify_stream_finished Which means I'm still stumped! It doesn't even try to access the DVD drive (i.e. no flashy lights or disc-spinning).Perhaps I need to install another driver? :( Ricardo -- Love Ricardo, "Surely this monstrous hybrid comes not from a mother's womb but from an Ephialtes, an Incubus, or some other horrendous demon, as though spawned in a putrid and venemous fungus, son of Fauns and Nymphs, more Devil than man." -Athanasius Kircher, Mundus Subtarraneus, Amsterdam, 1665, pp.279-280 http://www.rscampos.net Get your @hellokitty.com FREE e-mail account at http://www.sanriotown.com Sanrio Town - Your Ultimate Community to meet Sanrio character & friends.

Whose is this? [spam_filter@linuxfreemail.com] Re: [Alug] Xine

Hi, Someone's email provider doesn't like Ricardo's new mail provider. While I think that someone really should fix the line wrap on the webmail he's using, I'm not bouncing every email from him like the following one. I've sent a few copies as requested, but unless anyone can tell me how to fix this, I'm going to seek and destroy whatever subscription is causing this. So, any ideas why I'm getting this all of a sudden? TIA...

> What distro/versions are you using? I compiled Xine 0.9.1 with no trouble on Slackware 8 (X 4.1.0, kernel 2.4.10, with a GeForce DDR). MDK 8.0 (X 4.0.3, kernel 2.4.1, Geforce 2 MX DDR), nvidia drivers installed. I didn't compile, but used the RPMs and followed the "if you're using Mandrake 8.0" instructions. I've just d/l the tar.gz's , but compiling on this system always seems to take so much time.... (in the sense that it never works 1st time, only on about th 10th time). I'll have to do it when all other options are exhausted. > Are you actually opening the files individually using Xine? You should > just click on the DVD (or whichever decss'ing plugin you have) button > along the bottom of the control box and it will find the whole movie. Err... mine appears to be a tab near the top that says DVD, so I clicked on that. Press the play button, and it hangs.... In one HOWTO, it mentioned that if a DVD is encrypted, you have to make sure that the device is NOT read only (i.e. have write permission on it), in order to negotiate the encryption keys. Did you do this? I mean, did your install ONLY involve compiling and away you went, or did you have to go thru setting up MTRR etc. ?? > If you still have no luck, run it from a terminal window and look at the > messages it gives out when you try and play a movie. That'll be my next step. > Once you get it working Xine is excellent, it produces smoother video > than PowerDVD on W2K on my PC (Athlon 800). Now you're just teasing me! My monitor is larger than my TV screen (only ever watch the news on TV anyway), so hence all this palaver. I'll not have access to my box til the weekend... and well, it'll be the weekend, so I probably won't get owt done till next week. Thx for the tips, perhaps my next mail about Xine will be more of a "Hooray! it works!" one. :) Ricardo -- Love Ricardo, "Surely this monstrous hybrid comes not from a mother's womb but from an Ephialtes, an Incubus, or some other horrendous demon, as though spawned in a putrid and venemous fungus, son of Fauns and Nymphs, more Devil than man." -Athanasius Kircher, Mundus Subtarraneus, Amsterdam, 1665, pp.279-280 http://www.rscampos.net Get your @hellokitty.com FREE e-mail account at http://www.sanriotown.com Sanrio Town - Your Ultimate Community to meet Sanrio character & friends.

Well, it was the only computer on the network at the time. I'll have another go at some point. It was configured during the install, but now I'm feeling the bite of an install that holds your hand all the way and doesn't let you figure out exactly what you're doing and why. -- Love Ricardo, "Surely this monstrous hybrid comes not from a mother's womb but from an Ephialtes, an Incubus, or some other horrendous demon, as though spawned in a putrid and venemous fungus, son of Fauns and Nymphs, more Devil than man." -Athanasius Kircher, Mundus Subtarraneus, Amsterdam, 1665, pp.279-280 http://www.rscampos.net Get your @hellokitty.com FREE e-mail account at http://www.sanriotown.com Sanrio Town - Your Ultimate Community to meet Sanrio character & friends.

Cambridge Lug
by Adam Bower 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

I just dropped a mail directly to the Cambridge lug with a bit more detail on the Alug as the crossover mail was a bit lacking in references. Anyhow I have asked them on opinions/ideas for any crossovers between the lugs etc, but have not crossposted them. btw do we have a next meeting yet?

I don't think I remember seeing it done, but automatically mounting selected windows shares could be useful sometimes. -- MJR Do you need advice about the Internet or particular net services?
