[opensuse] GNOME+Compiz+11.4=Texture Mapping Failure
by Jim Henderson 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

I started seeing this issue in 11.2 a few days before upgrading to 11.4, and it still persists in 11.4. System is an HP Pavilion Slimline with an ATI GeForce 6150 LE video controller that uses shared memory. No setting in the BIOS for the amount of memory to share, though. Running GNOME2 with Compiz, I can start 3-4 windows (depending on what's in them, if I open multiple GNOME terminals I can get 5 open before the problem occurs) and then the windows start coming up with no contents. The contents are there (for example, if I open a term and tell it to echo the bell, I hear the bell), but it seems the texture mapping is failing. Sometimes this happens taking a window from windowed to full-screen. If I disable compiz, I don't see the problem, so it seems to be related to the way compiz maps stuff to the windows. I'd prefer to continue using compiz, though, as I use the enhanced zoom plugin on occasions where I've left my glasses in another part of the house. I applied the recent updates to the xorg server, and that doesn't seem to have changed anything. Prior to the final updates on 11.2, I didn't see this problem at all, and I had hoped it would clear up when I moved to 11.4, unfortunately, it didn't. Thanks for any tips/pointers/advice.

[opensuse] mp3info help
by Gary Hodder 09 Jun '11

09 Jun '11

Hi all, can somebody help me with a script using mp3info that will only print out number of files in a directory and number of files with a bit rate of less than 192k. I look after a community radio station and a presenter is modifying the station music collection, I need to catch this guy in the act. I want to run this script from cron before and after his show and send it to a smb printer in the office. The music library sits on a Linux box running samba. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Gary. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
