Hello all, I was wondering if there is a low latency kernel available for SuSE or if I need to investigate DeMuDI or the Agnula project to try to install one? Cheers, Alexandre

28 Feb '03

DVD Decrypter is my choice for ripping (just copying) dvd to my HD over Windows. What about ripping DVD in linux? What are (if there are) the best programs? I prefer something that rips subtitles (embeded or not) too. Also I need something to compress to DIVX OR MPG. thanks for any help a. -- Adagilson Batista Bispo da Silva Bibliotecário FIOCRUZ-Centro de Pesquisa Aggeu Magalhães Fone 81 3302-6524

Doing the monitor always "on" in FVWM2
by Prabu Subroto 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Dear my friends... I am using FVWM2 and SuSE Linux 8.1. I succeeded to make kiosk with FVWM2. FVWM2 is perfect for kiosk. My boss request is now to make the monitor to be always "on". No stand by modus, no screen saver. How can I do this? Please tell me. Here is my "/etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc": " prabu@patrix:/etc/X11/fvwm2> grep -n "xset*" system.fvwm2rc 63: + "I" Exec xsetroot 66: + "I" Exec xsetroot 718: + "hard%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset c 100 719: + "Off%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset c off 720: + "soft%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset c on 727: + "fast%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset m 4 2 729: + "normal%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset m 2 5 730: + "slow%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset m 1 1 737: + "loud%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset b 100 600 50 738: + "normal%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset b on 739: + "loud and long%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset b 100 600 300 740: + "Off%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset b off 747: + "Blank%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset s blank 748: + "Off%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset s off 749: + "Pattern after 5 min%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset s noblank s 300 300 750: + "Immediately%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset s activate 751: + "Default%mini.xapp.xpm%" Exec xset s default prabu@patrix:/etc/X11/fvwm2> " Do I have to change "xset" ?

Hi Henry, Have no experience with xine, sorry... I use mplayer and am EXTREMELY happy with it :) I guess the one that comes with SuSE8.1 is already quite a decent one, if it's missing any special functionality you need - try to look in www.mplayerhq.hu for a newer version... Good luck Eduard P.S. for a quick start try mplayer -dvd 1 to see if you have it installed and if it will play you disk --- Henry Hill <charlie1(a)ns.sympatico.ca> wrote: > hello > > I am usung Suse 8.1 , it is missing the Xine DVD player .

Sound Blaster PCI 512: sound through the speakers, none to the applications
by Emery Snyder 16 Feb '03

16 Feb '03

Other people have reported this behavior on this and the German multimedia list, but I haven't seen anyone post an answer that works. I've got SuSE 8.1 with a Creative Labs Soundblaster PCI 512. I checked by modules.conf file, and all the lines that the ALSA documentation say should be there were put there by YAST. I'm trying to record (using record or audacity or broadcast2000) from a cassette deck hooked to the the line-in input on my soundcard. Although I can *hear* the sound from my tapedeck fine through the speakers, no app seems to be able to get the sound. Nothing shows up on the meters, and if I save the files and play them, no sound is there. I am using alsamixergui, and have the line-in set as the recording input (with the little red "light" icons). Any suggestions?

Re: [suse-multimedia-e] Help needed
by Allen 11 Feb '03

I've done something similair to this using two seperate apps. First open KMix and specify which input to use. This took a little trial and error for me. I'd highlight one and blow into the mic until I found the right one. Next open up record, just go to a command prompt and type in "record" (i believe this it came with sox). This will open up an archaic looking interface but don't let it scare you. The instructions are right there. I run it with the auto-adjust turned off, it seems to come out better. When ever your ready to record hut the spacebar and it will begin outputting to a wave file in your home directory unless you specify otherwise. When your done jsut hit the spacebar again and it stops recording. There a man page for it that is also pretty small and straight forward. Hope this helps. >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >Hi: >I know nothing about Multimedia, except how to play/listen to cd's through >KsCD.

mplayer - green screen
by Vince Turzo 08 Feb '03

08 Feb '03

I'm running SuSE 8.1. I'm trying to play some AVI movie files, which play flawlessly on my Media Player in Windows. If I try and open the files in Konqueror, the task list says Mplayer and I see the hourglass moving for about 30 seconds, then the Mplayer entry disappears and nothing happens. If I open a terminal and use the command "mplayer (filename)", the movie opens with a green screen; the audio works fine. I used Yast to reinstall the Mplayer package, but that did not correct the problem. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Please advise. Thanks. Vince

Problems with sound card
by Magnar Strand Olsen 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

Hello, I recently installed SuSE 8.1, and it generally installed like a dream, detected my hardware all right - although I did have to change the soundcard from CS 42?? to CS 46xx (I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz). Now, the sound from the card is very distorted - it sounds like the sound is coming from a tin can. On my previous SuSE install (8.0) it sounded wonderful. I know ALSA has been upgraded since SuSE 8.0, and that the sound drivers for the Santa Cruz has been modified (it now accepts more than one simultaneous audio stream). Has anyone else experienced problems of this kind, is there a fix, or is there a fault in the driver? Thanks, Magnar S. Olsen

Hi! When I try to burn a CD with KOnCD, I get this error message: Cannot map "/dev/scd0" to a SG driver Cannot open SCSI device "/dev/scd0" Cannot setup device "/dev/scd0" Permissions (r,w,e) for scd0 have been set as root. I've also done "chown root /usr/bin/cdrecord" and "chmod 4711 /usr/bin/cdrecord". I run SuSE 8 Pro with scsi emulation. Any help welcome. Pablo
