That is good to know, but it implies that 'About Firmware' needs an
addition for (some) nvidia cards ?  At the moment we only cover
video cards in

Firmware for ATI video chips (R600 and later)

Also, did you have to load other firmware for your Skylake, or was
that just the CPU firmware ?


I do have /lib/firmware/cpia2/stv0672_vp4.bin which, IIRC, is for a camera 
on my laptop.  Nothing else for either my Haswell or Skylake.


The details for nvidia are at https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VP4/

[blfs-dev] tagging: install-tl-unx

2016-03-01 Thread Ken Moffat
On my kaveri, with its (expletive-deleted) attempt to build kde4, I
have now installed the binaries from texlive.  But as is my custom,
I downloaded a recent version of install-tl-unx (20160226) instead
of the version from June last year, because anybody trying it now
will almost certainly use a current version.  It all installed, but
running my latex-test suite, lualatex crapped out.  I tried tlmgr,
but no updates seem to be available.

For the moment, I've taken that to a texlive list.

This is getting to be as bad as two weeks ago.  I've also got
a problem (blank display) with the 4.5.0-rc6 kernel on that machine,
so my plans to reinstall Fedora and then try to use that to build a
server version of LFS (with the packages I care about) will probably
have to take a back seat.

Looks as if I misinterpreted past output from xine: on the kaveri in
7.9-rc2 I again see a maximum size of 0x0 reported, like on my other
machines.  So I will stop building libvdpau-va-gl.

I don't have any nvidia machines, but on the integrated GPU in the
haswell I got

libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vo_vdpau: vdpau API version : 1
vo_vdpau: vdpau implementation description : OpenGL/VAAPI/libswscale backend 
for VDPAU
vo_vdpau: maximum video surface size for chroma type 4:2:2 is 1920x1080
vo_vdpau: maximum video surface size for chroma type 4:2:0 is 1920x1080
vo_vdpau: maximum output surface size is 0x0
vo_vdpau: Failed to check vdpau get/put bits native capability : 
VDP_STATUS_NO_IMPLEMENTATION

Those last two lines suggested to me that it was not useful.

For your GeForce, perhaps it only supports WMV3/WMV9.  I had
thought you were using a skylake with integrated video.


That's my workstation.  My development system is a i7 Haswell without 
embedded video.  It has the nvidia card.


The bottom line seems to be that this stuff is sensitive to hardware.

Works fine with mplayer-SVN-r37794 (notice that ffmpeg is newer than 3.0.

{ time mplayer big_buck_bunny.mp4; } 2>&1 | tee
big_buck_bunny.mp4-mplayer.log

Could not get language to change to C above.


For VLC, needed to choose VA-API via DRM.

{ time env LC_ALL=C vlc big_buck_bunny.mp4; } 2>&1 | tee
big_buck_bunny.mp4-vlc.log


My general impression is that mplayer was better (sound and video).

I've run into a brick wall.  I'm trying to finish up kf5 but can't get 
kdenlive to work.  Trying to trace it, I looked at the dependencies.


The mlt package installs an executable named melt.  This program plays an 
mp4 file.  The one I use for testing is


http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/files/big_buck_bunny.mp4

It is a 1 minute video/audio file for testing.

BLFS, SVN-20150703, it also plays fine with melt.


The problem with the latest version is that I get:

I've tried rebuilding mlt and its dependencies as well as ffmpeg, x264, 
libva and libvdpau.  I also tried reverting from mlt-0.9.8 to mlt-0.9.6.


Can I please get someone to build/test melt (package mlt) for me and see
