I have a blender-2.57b release which can't build with python3-3.1 it needs 3.2, do I have to wait for 3.2 to hit factory before I start bugging the python people to send it to tumbleweed, I can then submit blender to Packman.

Can packages in the 11.4 standard or update repos build against tumbleweed?
by Dave Plater 29 May '11

29 May '11

Can packages in 11.4 standard or update repositories build against packages provided in the tumbleweed update repository.? I've filed bnc#696826 about 11.4's lv2core-devel's lv2config being unable to function due to a lack of package python-redland. The LV2 plugin system cannot be used at all if the package can't build against lv2core and slv2, I submitted new packages lv2core, slv2 and an updated redland package that included the python bindings before 11.4's release, lv2core is in the 11.4 distribution but slv2 is still in review, here is it's history : 62079 State:declined By:autobuild When:2011-02-18T16:30:51 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory note: obsoleted by submitreq 62078 From: plater(new) Descr: Removed conflict for libslv2-8 62078 State:review By:coolo When:2011-03-28T16:14:46 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory From: plater(new) -> saschpe(review) Descr: Removed conflict for libslv2-8 60049 State:declined By:autobuild When:2011-02-18T16:30:43 submit: multimedia:libs/slv2 -> openSUSE:Factory From: plater(new) Descr: Add slv2-0.6.6-licencefix.patch to remove file with conflicting GPLv2 statement in the header.

There was a comment made in a reply during one of my many emails pleading for slv2 to be accepted that it was a duplicate of a Packman package and I replied that it's purpose was to enable multimedia applications to build with support for LV2 plugins and openSUSE packages cannot build against Packman packages. I'm busy updating qtractor from 0.7.8 to 0.7.9 the earlier version would have been in 11.4 had slv2 been present and now it seems that version 0.7.9 is also going to be blocked. Reference threads : http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-02/msg00678.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-02/msg00004.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2011-01/msg00377.html I originally created the lv2core and slv2 packages when a user requested LV2 plugin support for ardour which isn't in the main distribution but he was happy with the result and this verifies that there isn't anything wrong with the package. Maybe I violated an openSUSE rule inadvertently but if nobody explains what it was I may do it again. I'm passionate about openSUSE multimedia and I feel that it presents an important face of openSUSE.

Strangely, the kscd option I ceated for audio CDS on insertion does not appear anymore. It did work on the day I created and I launched kscd with it. But now it does not come up in the options offered. The only thing I remember is , installation of VLC backend, which sneaked as part of update. But what it has to do with device notifier? The option is present in the list of device-notifier options, but never comes up when an audio cd is inseted. A device notofier problem or any backend problem?

bug fixing for amarok
by jdd 18 May '11

18 May '11

Amarok is the audio gebneral purpose aplication for kde (if I understand well). It's pretty buggy our bugzilla: https://bugzilla.novell.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevan… kde bugzilla: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc… I just fall in this trying to make it play audio cd's (as it's one of the two apps that are listed by default when an audio cd is inserted). Amarok do *not* open audio cd's, nor in 11.4 nor in Factory 12. is it usefull or dumb to try to fix amarok? (I don't know how well amarok is maintained upstream) thanks jdd NB: the audio cd read do not needs packman, so this should be bare openSUSE -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.youtube.com/user/jdddodinorg http://jdd.blip.tv/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+help(a)opensuse.org

But I have no music CDs just lots of MP3 and OGGs. Even with that error, whatever it may mean, it works. I looked up the configuration of device-notifier, where there is an entry for KSCD, but it does not come up in the choices. I figured out that the default rules (conditions) in the entry include a storage volume condition, which may not be releavnt to Audio CD. I changed the conditions, it now works. The very first time kscd audio choice came up and I chose, kscd produced a jarring sound, no music at all and froze the desktop. A while after,it killed X and blank screen folowed. But after hardboot, next time it worked well enough.

kscd is the obvious choice for reading audio cd in kde.

It looks like amarok is no mpore able to read audio cd's, and this is not restricted to openSUSE (same found on ubuntu forums) But amarok is still the first option proposed by the audio cd applet, so either amarok have to be fixed or removed from this applet :-) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=627563 thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.youtube.com/user/jdddodinorg http://jdd.blip.tv/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+help(a)opensuse.org

how to know the default pattern content?

Is there a way to know what is the default pattern content without installing a fresh distro?

some operations very slow
by jdd 11 May '11

11 May '11

Hello, I'm again in the way of testing most dvd authoring tools. I do this in 11.4. see: http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.DVDAuthoringWithOpenSUSELinux and also: http://dodin.org/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.DVDReadersInOpenSUSELinux the present problem is that for two of the applications I had problem reading mpg files. I forget which one was the first (2mandvd?), but the last is DeVeDe the problem come when I have to insert a video file. I open a file open windows, clic on the needed file... and wait, and wait... say more than two minute for 100Mb file (just verifyed) wich makes building dvd very difficult. The mpg files are already of the desired format for dvd (created by ffmpeg), and I used DeVeDe on a much slower computer some month ago without problem. I use a 64 bits i5 computer with 4Gb ram. During the wait, top do not show any application with more than 2% cpu! do you have an idea of the way I can help debug this? by the way, after that creating the dvd took only one minute and a half (no recoding) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.youtube.com/user/jdddodinorg http://jdd.blip.tv/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-multimedia+help(a)opensuse.org

Midi not playing note I expect
by Koenraad Lelong 06 May '11

06 May '11

Hi, I think this is off-topic here, but I'm trying anyway. I'm learning to play the Flemish bagpipes. I use noteedit to help me study my pieces. No problem here. In a while I have to play together with a clarinet and a sax. The piece I want to play had no lines for clarinet and sax, so with the help of my teacher I transposed some other instruments. Then I played the piece with noteedit. On some places it sounds wrong, so I told my teacher something was wrong. She says that the output of midi does not transpose sounds like clarinet or sax do. I was surprised to hear that so I investigated. I let noteedit play some notes and measured them with my tuner, e.g. when noteedit plays a G with a clarinet-sound I measure a G with my tuner, same with a sax-sound. Then I asked my daughter to play a G on her clarinet, and, to my surprise, I got an F on my tuner. Other notes "behave" the same. I had heard of this fenomenon but didn't understand it then. I tried the experiment with my tuner with rosegarden, with the same results, so I don't think it's the score-editor, but midi. I even tried different sound-fonts with the same results. So my question is, why would a computer sound like a G when I ask to "play a G with a clarinet" when in reality a clarinet will sound like an F when the player sees a G on the score and presses the keys for it. What I mean is, when I copy a score which includes clarinet and sax, and then I play it via midi, it will not sound like when that piece is played with real instruments. So what's the use of midi when it does not play the reality ? Or do you have to be a musicologist just to copy a score, let alone transpose one ? You would have to have two versions of your score : one to play with midi and one to play with real instruments. Any references to this problem will be highly appreciated. If you know a better place to ask this I would be happy to hear about it. I did search with google, but I didn't get answers, but I don't really know how to ask this in google.
