Subject: Making MPEG movies from AVI?
Date: Thu, 8 Jul 1999 08:52:55 -0400
Hello Everybody,
I have a hauppauge tuner card in my Redhat 6.0 system that i've been using
XawTV with to watch TV. I've been messing around with the AVI capture
utility 'streamer' to make movies. I'd like to compress these to MPEG
movies and downloaded 'mpeg2encode'.
I have three problems... the first is I can't get sound with streamer. I
hear sound when it captures, but no sound when I view the AVI. Anyone
encounter this and fix it?
The second problem is I can't play the AVI movies under Windows. I can play
them under Linux (w/o sound), but both realplayer and media player don't
work.
The third problem is I can't figure out how to convert the AVI movies to
MPEG in mpeg2encode. It wants a parameter file. I copied one of the sample
parameter files and they all want seperate files for each frame. Anyone
used this program before?
BTW, once I get this all figured out I want to convert family video to MPEG
movies to ship downstate to the rest of the family. I have another little
one on the way (i.e. baby) and want to be setup in the next few weeks.
TIA,
Jeff Volckaert

I don't have an answer for you, but since nobody else appears to have
responded...
Do you have TERM and DISPLAY set thussly:
$ export TERM=dumb
$ export DISPLAY=unix:0
According to "man ls", "--color=" defaults to "none", so you really
shouldn't be getting COLOR change escape sequences.
Especially not from gcc!
What shell are you running ?
$ echo $0
/bin/bash
$
Maybe the shell is trying to do something strange with the output ?
What exactly are the Escape sequences you are seeing ?
I've never seen this happen, but then, I'm running just "emacs", not
xemacs.

Netscape in windows changes the periods in filenames to underlines.
This can cause problems until you manually rename and change them back.

They're not full right now, but they probably fill up when you cp.
Particularly, on the root partition / you only have 264 Mb available (by
default df displays the space in blocks, and 1 block = 1k, if I read the man
page correctly). So if you were trying o copy something larger than 264 M
you would run out of space and fail.

That's no indication that the audio device you need *is* actually
free, as playing a CD doesn't use the audio device - just the mixer.
You can even sometimes play a CD without setting up your sound card.
To check out the sound device, try to play a .wav file or an mp3.
Are you running a window manager / desktop environment with desktop
sounds? That's a likely culprit.

Since there are always multiple processes running on a Linux box,
*any* app will benefit at least a little bit from SMP.
Any app that runs in multiple processes (eg. client/server) or
multiple threads will gain the full benefit of SMP.
The game "Civilization: Call to Power" is multithreaded, and runs
fairly well on my dual-pentium (not P2/P3) SMP box.

Date: Thu, 08 Jul 1999 14:21:26 GMT
Hi all,
By default, Linux-Mandrake enables postfix. Mail
sent _from_ a local user _to_ a local user (e.g. gregh
to root) works just fine. However, when I use fetchmail
to get mail from my ISP's POP server, it seems to get
deferred and never delivered to the queue (specifically,
/var/spool/mail/gregh). I've tried to figure this problem
out on my own, but have met it with no success. The
changes I made to the "RECEIVING MAIL" section of the
main.cf file in /etc/postfix haven't done the trick.
Could someone tell me what I need to do or where I should
look to solve the problem. Oh, sending mail to addresses
outside of the localhost works.
Thanks in advance!

This is actually a security feature (which can be disabled). You can
also try doing a telnet as a non root user, then su to root.

Try a "df -i".
There are two resources that can be "filled up" on a filesystem:
blocks and inodes. The command you typed only reports on the blocks.
A "df -i" will show if the inodes are used up.
If you have a filesystem with a lot of very small files (for example
if you have a news spool in /var/spool/news), it's easy to run out of
inodes before you run out of blocks.

Date: Thu, 8 Jul 1999 10:28:06 -0500
I am using Linux-Mandrake 6.0 on a Pentium II 333.Everything prints fine
from the kernel 2.2.9 that came with the distribution. Howver, I cannot
print anything from kernel 2.2.5 that I had to compile just so that I can
use my sound card. I made sure that I compiled this kernel with parallel
port support, printer support etc.
When I am in printtool, it lists the printer (HP Laserjet 4L), I can restart
lpd, but when I try to test print an ASCII page, it gives me the message
that the print is qued but the printer daemon cannot be started.
I can see the print jobs in the queue by using lpq.
I have tried using 'lpc start all' and gives me the message that printer
cannot be connected.
What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I've installed Oracle (boy, was that fun!) on Red Hat 6, which uses the
bash shell by default for all the users.
Last time I used UNIX (Solaris) there was a .login file in the home
directories, but not on Red Hat. There's a .bashrc file, a .bash_profile
file and a /etc/profile file.
Also, when following installation instructions for Oracle (not Oracle's
instructions, which didn't work, but someone else's, which did), I had
to alter a file somewhere to change 'oracle' and 'root' users' shells to
sh rather than bash, then had to create a .profile file, etc.
Anyway, can someone explain what role each of these files has.
Also, where should I set system-wide (ie for all users) env vars? Where
should I set my own env vars (speaking as a normal user)? Etc.
Thanks in advance,

>From bash manual pages (man bash)
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it first
reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if
that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that
order, and reads and executes commands from the first one
that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be
used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.
When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands
from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists.
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is
started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if
that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc
option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read
and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.
When bash is started non-interactively, to run a shell
script, for example, it looks for the variable BASH_ENV in
the environment, expands its value if it appears there, and
uses the expanded value as the name of a file to read and
execute. Bash behaves as if the following command were exe-
cuted:
if [ -n "$BASH_ENV" ]; then . "$BASH_ENV"; fi
but the value of the PATH variable is not used to search for
the file name.
If bash is invoked with the name sh, it tries to mimic the
startup behavior of historical versions of sh as closely as
possible, while conforming to the POSIX standard as well.
When invoked as a login shell, it first attempts to read and
execute commands from /etc/profile and ~/.profile, in that
order. The --noprofile option may be used to inhibit this
behavior. When invoked as an interactive shell with the
name sh, bash looks for the variable ENV, expands its value
if it is defined, and uses the expanded value as the name of
a file to read and execute. Since a shell invoked as sh
does not attempt to read and execute commands from any other
startup files, the --rcfile option has no effect. A non-
interactive shell invoked with the name sh does not attempt
to read any startup files. When invoked as sh, bash enters
posix mode after the startup files are read.

Yes, but configuring the system this way is Dumb(*). Login in normally

I don't know much about NFS, but I suspect it *could* work if you tweaked
an awful lot of stuff. You could have a /usrlocal directory, for
instance, which contained just enough to survive until /usr could be
mounted - you'd then need to tune everything which used /usr before it
was mounted to use /usrlocal instead.
Also, of course, whenever the NFS server died you'd be in major
trouble...

This is a configurable option.
You must edit the /etc/securetty file and add the ttyp0...ttyp8 varying the

Or did you not post this? What part of "more than your entire country",
which is in the millions BTW, is less than the casulty figures from the
US Civil War?
*sigh*

I have a RH 5.2 server. It is in a computer room in the building, and my
office is downstairs. I sometimes need to login as root, but can't do this
from my desk via telnet. I am NOT trying to telnet across the internet "in
the clear" to manage the server.
Is this a configurable option?
Thanks (again)!
