[opensuse] Kdenlive analog capture
by John Bennett 28 Dec '10

28 Dec '10

Sorry, probably a bit OT, but hopefully a fairly easy answer, although with a bundle of googling - can't find. Trying to capture analog video/audio off a VCR, through a SAA7134 (Kworld DVBT-220RF - I believe) which is a DVB card with analog input as well. Can use TVTime to capture using: tvtime -d /dev/video1 -i1 and this works OK, as I have plugged the audio staight into my audio card input. Question is, how do I configure KDdenlive (or anything else) to recognise the channel option ( -i1 ) so I can record from the analog? Current setting in Kdenlive : -f oss -i /dev/dsp -acodec mp2 -f video4linux2 -s 640x480 -r 25 -i /dev/video1 -vcodec mpeg4 Thanks, John. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 11.3 Screen Resolution annoyance
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 27 Dec '10

27 Dec '10

Hi, Using OpenSuSe 11.3 with KDE as a pre production test machine. I complete a vanilla DVD install, with the optional non-oss CD included and after selecting the screen resolution of 1024 x768, before clicking on Installation. The install finishes and I login to amend the software installation. I am greeted with a horribly large resolution of 1680xsomething and can barely see the text. I figure to use Sax2 to change it yet there is no sax2. Going to the Desktop Display Settings option on the kicker does resize the screen but the task-bar shown is too long for the display, resulting in the loss of the time, updater and info widgets. Doing a Google search revealed many more such bad issues and my Google Fu did allow me to determine the file I can edit ......> (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf), however on editing the file a number of different times in different locations and rebooting the system each time, now just saw me returned to the cli and not KDE. Thankfully I took a backup of the old file and have replaced the corrupt one with it. I would be really appreciative of anyone if they could either send me the file name and copy and paste the file contents so that I can try it on my system. If that doesn't work then it is lousy hardware courtesy of a lousy video card on an Intel motherboard, unless someone else has an idea? Thanks Hylton P.S: The same incorrect resizing happen on 11.2 on the same machine using Sax2 -- ======================================================================== Hylton is a Lions Club member of Fish Hoek Lions Club(District 410A) Part of the worlds largest NGO Lions Clubs Int http://www.lionsclubs.org This Lion is using openSuSE Linux since v9.0 with KDE ======================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I updated to firefox 3.6.13 (opensuse version) in the meantime and also installed the mentioned xine browser plugin (1.0.2-2.pm.2.2) from packman repo. Unfortunately it can't play the video on my system. I disabled every plugin except of xine, in Tools>add-ons>plugins, and the video window now gives a message saying "The plugin for this content has been disabled. Click here to manage you plugins." I also tried to set plugins in Tools>Manage content plugins, but I could not since the window's response was very slow, I could not select any of the mime types, and cpu use raised to 92% when the window was open.

by xPol 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

When rising a konsole or okular window to foreground, often a white shadow, covering the window content, is shown on the left side. Here enclosed is a picture. The same also happens at each new page, when browsing a pdf document with okular. I am using kde 4.4.4 opensuse 11.3 Any ideas to fix that annoying behaviour? thank you ----p

[opensuse] Question about Free Software policies within the openSUSE Project
by Kostas Boukouvalas 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

What are the Free Software policies inside the openSUSE project? The only thing FSF notices that separates openSUSE Project from the Emacs Church is "openSUSE offers its users access to a repository of nonfree software" [1]. Could this change? I mean, could this repository be ousted from openSUSE but still being accessible by openSUSE users if they want to? Instructions could be given in forums outside the wiki or the official openSUSE community sites. Something like packman but with no help from the community. It would also be a chance for business for someone that wants also to help freedom but on the other hand to help a user in the extreme case that some hardware cannot work with Free Software and she wants it to work "the very moment". Not mention the high importance of having the analytical list of non-free software that may is needed in openSUSE to run efficiently. This would help a lot, programmers, to create new free software and have a roadmap to where they are going. Also, what's the state of the Linux kernel that openSUSE uses? Recently Debian, changed that and will put on its version 6.0 "Squeeze" a completely free Linux Kernel, blobs not included [2]. Could openSUSE do the same thing? It is of important value that among the major distributions on [1] the openSUSE and SUSE distributions are the least blamed. I don't think that at FSF didn't searched about openSUSE and searched to find about all others. I think that we are indeed more close to Free Software Guidelines than anyone else in the mainstream GNU/Linux distributions river. It would worth a lot to make this little step and touch (and maybe open) the door of the FSF.

[opensuse] Searching for 10.2 repos
by Roger Oberholtzer 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

I know that opensuse no longer support 10.3. But I recall reading here that there are places that keep copies of these repos longer. But I do not seem to find them today. Anyone have a pointer? This will only be useful if I am correct in the following: I have a 10.3 system that I want to update to 11.2. IIRC, 'dup' was added to zypper after the original 10.3 release. But it was available as an update. If I install the zypper update for 10.3, I am hoping I can update the 10.3 system to be 11.2. I will of course be very careful. But is the general idea accurate? I seem to recall that 10.3 was one of the first releases that could be updated this way. Is it really possible to go from 10.3 to, say, 11.2, without going to the other releases in between?
