Subject: Real Player 7 -- No sound and poor video
Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 19:20:43 +1000
I have a PII 266 machine with 96 mb RAM, a Creative Vibra 16 PnP sound
card and a #9 Revolution 3D 4mb video card.
On trying to play a Real Player video clip, I get the message "Cannot
open the audio device. Another application may be using it." No other
sound application is open and the sound device is working. The various
sound settings in Preferences make no difference.
RP7 for Windows works normally with the same sound and video cards
under native Windows but does not work under VMWare with Linux as a
host. MS Media Player works under VMWare without difficulty.
Has anybody else experienced similar problems with RealPlayer?

Whats all the fuss about?
I think these camps are excellent, only the material u need, why would
somebody wanna study years and years when its possible in one month.
If you aint talented enough than just dont do it and mind your own business.
This is excellent for people that really wanna learn something, its heavy
alrite but atleast it gets you somewhere.
I dont understand what all the noise be about.
Yall linux gurus afriad you wasted al ur time experimenting with "real-world
experience".
I guess some people just dont understand the real meaning of studying or
even whats studying is about.
when i read all the replies: old farts with oldfashioned opinions who just
need something to discuss about.
i'd say go critisize about something that really deserves critic.
Kind regards
Bas
(somebody who did a couple o boot camps with success and is happy he did
them)

Anyone who is capable of such accomplishments in a month should maybe
think about applying themselves to nobler pursuits, like a cure for
cancer.

I couldn't agree more. If you have the cash and the room for a home network,
then that is a great way to go. But make sure you are good at self-study,
disciplined and focused.
There is nothing new under the sun...someone wrote that sometime ago....and
it still holds water today.
There are many ways to gain certification and knowledge. Boot camps are one
way to go, home networks another, reg. cert classes and/or university
settings are others.
The point is there are many ways for people to learn, which one is best
suited to each is a personal choice.
Are bootcamps the end-all/be-all of the IT industry? Of course not. But for
the experienced professional who wishes to add certs to their resume, boot
camps are a great way to go. And for those who lack the experience,
certifications can (not will) offer a good starting foundation. Yes, you
should still take an entry-level position, but you'll be much better
prepared.

According to the kbd docs if you use loadkeys to load that map XFree86
should honor it. Any chance you have xmodmap loading one of its files
in .xinitrc/.xsession?
Either uncomment any xmodmap line in that/those files or modify
an xmodmap file to make it similar to your us.kmap file.

I use update-info for that. It adds and removes entries with or without
user interaction. You can add or remove multiple entries instead of
the one-at-a-time install-info way.
For the life of me I can't figure out where it came from but I use it
quite often. Not listed in any of the package entries on Slackware.
It's two scripts, update-info and update-info.f.
If you're interested in them let me know.

BTW, if I'm not mistaken you're supposed to specify the dir file.
install-info cipe.info /usr/info/dir (not sure on that)
or use
--dir-file=dir or --info-dir=/usr/info (implies infodir/dir)
install-info --help
or
the install-info entry in the texinfo info page.
