 Hi list,
 I want to make capture for my desktop. xvidcap is a good tool but it
 is not suitable for capturing all the screen.
 Have you any idea about the tool that was used to capture the video in
 the link above?
recordmydesktop is in Fedora extras

Why not give that a try.

 Like all the /etc/sysconfig files, you can put something like:

 or the like to start rpcbind with particular arguments.

  i'm not suggesting there's anything *wrong* with the current

RPCBIND_ARGS, it would have been handy to have mentioned it somewhere
so users might be able to take advantage of it.

  personally, i like your suggestion 2) above -- have a no-op
/etc/sysconfig/rpcbind file with at least a few comments and sample

any fundamental difference between fedora and suse NFSv4?


  i'm currently reviewing a doc on suse linux enterprise 11, the
section on NFS, but i don't have a SLES 11 machine in front of me.
could anyone who uses both SLES 11 and fedora 12 comment on how
indistinguishable the NFS setups are across those two distros?

  so far, i haven't seen a lot that's massively incompatible, and i
wouldn't expect to.  obviously, the fundamental files are going to be
the same.

I saw SLES 11 on my bro' laptop. I think it's totally different from
any Fedora I've ever seen. It's strange and ugly. It has different
folder structure and there's no yum (only some package manager called
'zypper')! Sorry, can't help you any more - I have no access to it now

running only NFSv4 on f12 produces rpc.mountd error


  i'm currently still messing with various bits of NFS on f12, and
i wanted to see if i could properly run *only* NFSv4 (that is, no
support for any earlier version of NFS), so some questions.

  first, is there a short way to examine what versions are supported
by a running nfsd?  i'm *guessing* that i can see that via rpcinfo
-p:

...
132   tcp   2049  nfs
133   tcp   2049  nfs
134   tcp   2049  nfs
132   udp   2049  nfs
133   udp   2049  nfs
134   udp   2049  nfs
...

  is that what i'm being shown above?  that i currently have support
for versions 2, 3 and 4?is there no simpler way to query a running
nfsd for that info?

  but here's where it gets trickier.  from here (which i assume is
relevant):

http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Deployment_Guide/ch-nfs.html

i'm told that, under NFSv4, there is no need for any of rpc.mountd,
rpc.lockd or rpc.statd (as i read it, all this functionality has been
moved into the kernel with NFSv4).

  so i can see how to disable support for all earlier versions of nfs
in /etc/sysconfig/nfs:

#
# Define which protocol versions mountd
# will advertise. The values are no or yes
# with yes being the default
#MOUNTD_NFS_V1=no
#MOUNTD_NFS_V2=no
#MOUNTD_NFS_V3=no
...

  so i uncomment all those lines to (allegedly) disable all earlier
version support and:

# service nfs restart
Shutting down NFS mountd:  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS daemon:  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS quotas:  [  OK  ]
Shutting down NFS services:[  OK  ]
Starting NFS services: [  OK  ]
Starting NFS quotas:   [  OK  ]
Starting NFS daemon:   [  OK  ]
Starting NFS mountd: Usage: rpc.mountd [-F|--foreground] [-h|--help]
[-v|--version] [-d kind|--debug kind]
[-o num|--descriptors num] [-f exports-file|--exports-file=file]
[-p|--port port] [-V version|--nfs-version version]
[-N version|--no-nfs-version version] [-n|--no-tcp]
[-H ha-callout-prog] [-s|--state-directory-path path]
[-g|--manage-gids] [-t num|--num-threads=num]
   [FAILED]
#

  ok, what just happened there?  am i not allowed to do what i just
tried?  and if i explicitly try to run *only* NFSv4, why is rpc.mountd
even being invoked?  is there something else i need to be doing here?

The simplest way is to regularly backup your machine definitions
via virsh dumpxml name  name.xml, then you can recover the
machine definition via virsh define name.xml. If you can still
boot f11, that would be the way to go.

The error-prone, will probably force you to re-activate windows, way
is to define a new virtual machine with virt-manager, and when
it gets to the disk image part, say use existing, then browse local,

from the disk image and maybe it will be back.

I haven't use suse in quite some time.  Are you asking about SLES (which
is the equivalent of RHEL) or openSUSE which is more akin to Fedora,
AFAIK? 

In any event, if I were doing what I think you're doing I would download
either the openSUSE DVD or the openSUSE live CD's and try it myself in a
Virtual Machine.  I mean, who better to know what exact comparisons I'm
looking for?

As I said, I've not used suse in quite a while.  But, your question as
well as the post about firefox/kde integration has prompted me to start
downloading the DVD to give it a try.  I think it is safe to say that
Fedora/RH place less emphasis on KDE than suse does.  So, being a KDE
leaning person it would be worth the time to check it out.

Of course, just like trying any other distro there will be differences. 
I believe suse uses yast as their package manger.  But, at least it is
rpm based and I'm used to the warts of that system. 

Should I get the chance to experiment with NFSv4 on it I will.  Probably
try to export and mount file systems from/to a F12 system.  Sounds like
a nice challenge.

Sansa mp3 player support

2010-01-03 Thread Robert Moskowitz

I have a Sansa Connect player that has a number of the setup functions 
disabled (for example the wifi is turned off).  I cannot get it into the 
mode where it appears as a USB drive to non-M$ systems that have itunes 
installed on it.


I just installed FC12 on this notebook.  When I plug the Sansa player 
in, it displays messages about geting Ablum and song info and then comes 
up in its regular Music Library.  On my FC12 system, I cannot find any 
mounted device (like in /media) and RythmBox (which was running at the 
time) does not show any of the songs on the player.


help?

Libvirt itself stashes all its info in some random place, God knows
where :-). If you really have an complete disk image of f11, you might
be able to chroot to it, start libvirtd, and do the dumpxml command
that way :-).

If your runs of the XP image with the qemu command line work with
no activation problems, you can probably tweak the new machine
definition xml to match the qemu command line, since basically all
the xml does is define the things it will pass to qemu (you just
have to guess how to translate things :-). More or less complete
docs for the xml appear at libvirt.org.

the second -r 15 is the final fps of the output video

the second -b 500k is the output quality, this saves me converting it
later, you could just use...

ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1280x1024 -r 15 -b 5000k -i :0.0 out.flv

but the output would be huge but really good quality, so you could then

ffmpeg -i out.flv -s 480x360 -r15 -b 500k resized.flv

the top example does both these in 1 command

i use .flv as the output so i can put it my website, you can just change
out.flv to out.mpg or out.ogv or out.avi and ffmpeg will automatically

option, not just -t nfs.  is that actually a *requirement*?  is the
mount command not smart enough to figure that out?

* as i read it, nfsv4 no longer requires portmapper, rpc.mountd,
rpc.lockd or rpc.statd, which inspires the question -- if you're
running *exclusively* NFSv4, is there any reason to even *start* those
last three daemons?

  i ask since i'm looking at the startup script /etc/init.d/nfs, and
the start argument is processed thusly:

# See how we were called.
case $1 in
  start)

# Check that networking is up.
[ ${NETWORKING} != yes ]  exit 6

[ -x /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd ] || exit 5
[ -x /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd ] || exit 5
[ -x /usr/sbin/exportfs ] || exit 5
... snip ...

  the problem, of course, is that if you're running exclusively NFSv4,
what's the point of checking for the existence of /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
if you have no need to run it?   and that same startup sequence
invokes rpc.mountd later, again unnecessarily.


 and as i mentioned in an earlier
posting, if i make this change to /etc/sysconfig/nfs:

MOUNTD_NFS_V1=no
MOUNTD_NFS_V2=no
MOUNTD_NFS_V3=no

then when i run service nfs restart, i get:

# service nfs restart
Shutting down NFS mountd:  [  OK  ]

#

  debugging the call to start rpc.mountd shows it being invoked with
the following args:

--no-nfs-version 1 --no-nfs-version 2 --no-nfs-version 3

which i would have *thought* is what i wanted to see.  apparently not.

  in conclusion, what capability *should* i expect from NFSv4 on
fedora 12?  can't i even *start* it without supporting earlier
versions?

wine dxdiag - shows nothing

2010-01-03 Thread AlannY

Hi there.

Recently, I've used Gentoo and runs Wine for games on it. But now, I switched 
to Fedora 12 x86_64.

I've installed wine successfuly:

%# yum instal wine.i686

After that, I've installed directx9 and gecko with winetricks script.

Set up wine is OK:

%# winecfg

Some win-programs already works.

Then, I need to test graphics:

%# wine dxdiag

But, this command shows nothing. Exit code ($?) is 0 (which means everything 
ok).

What to do? I cannot play games with wine-directx on Fedora, but can on Gentoo.
I've fell in love with Fedora and don't want to switch back.

P.S. Are you playing win-games in Fedora?

It would be foolish to log in graphically as root.  Don't do it.  Log 
in in text mode as root by switching to a different Virtual Terminal 
with Ctrl-Shift-F2 (F1 to F6, F7 or sometimes F1 is the X session).  
From a graphical login, either use the normal graphical tools and 
authenticate from time to time, or open a terminal and `su -` to become 
root there.

I believe you can have them all on or turn them all off (except
'other') but cannot just show one user.

As for root - I'll let others answer - see past long threads - it was
turned off intentionally but there is a way to allow root to
gracphically login if you really want it. (Tho why you'd ever need this
is beyond me. I've used linux for many many years, and never once needed
a graphical root login.

If you want the control you seek - you may want to try kdm instead of
gdm. You can still use gnome desktop with kdm.

I am not recommending this one way or another - I am an ex kde user.
kde was so wonderfully configurable ... but somehow they shot
themselves in the foot and lost a huge number of users alng the way and
seem to be struggling to regain their user base. Even Linus himself
switched to Gnome .. after criticizing gnome for its lack of
configurabilty for a few years ..

Enna media center on Fedora?

2010-01-03 Thread Valent Turkovic

Media Center support for Fedora is currently really lacking when

repository near me ;)

There are certainly radeon bugs out there. For instance:

Re: Changing GNOME default directories

2010-01-03 Thread Alessandro Boggiano

 Yes, I tried! But I can't find anything in it!

 Just blame this on my age. I thought I understood what you wanted to do
 in your original post. Now I am clueless.
 What do you mean by the position of the Gnome default directories?
ate/MailingListGuidelines

Blame on your age, but on my English as well! ;)

I'd like to change the destination of the default GNOME directories :
the directories like Videos,Music, Documents.. ( I'm using GNOME
in Italian, so
the original name, maybe, are a little different).
Usually their definition is in the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, and
the file is there!
Here a couple of lines:
[snip]
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR=$HOME/Scrivania
XDG_MUSIC_DIR=$HOME/Musica
[snip]

But if I change the values, for example:
XDG_MUSIC_DIR=/Dati/Mp3

The change is not detected, even after a logout.

Maybe I could use sym links, but,IMHO, is not the clean answer!

Kde problems

2010-01-03 Thread david walcroft


Hi,
I've reposted as I need to try and get a response as it's a ridiculous
situation reinstalling because I cannot get kde to work as it should.

I'm using fc12-86_64,my problem is when ever I logout/login or 
shut-down/reboot I lose kde,it will not start,only a blue screen.
and no desktop.Sometimes I get the error 'cannot access 
/usr/bin/autorun: no such file or directory' so I cp -r /usr/bin/autorun 
from my backup and logout/login with no result.
An install a while ago my sys. booted into a default desktop not my 
usual desktop,I found out that kde was not reading my ~/.kde file,I cp 
-r a copy from ~.kde.old ~.kde but on logging out/in the ~.kde file was 
over written.The only solution I've had is to reinstall the system.
I've got no idea how to troubleshoot these problems.Help would be 
appreciated.


david

 change /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf to enabled=False
 Then I deleted the Videos, Pictures, Music, Documents, Public, etc,
 which I do not want in the first place.

Thanks Henk,
but this is not what I want! I'd like to have them, but with the right values!
Maybe, I could disable, delete them, and using bookmarks, but it's

 you do not run a '.cgi' from a shell. run man 8 upsstats.cgi to see what

'man' should have explained it for you. i do not have this man page so i can

 All from tarballs since the rpms are too old to deal with this 2+ year old
 ups, with paths corrected well enough it now runs, except for a fail report

 a FAIL.  And it was configured with all optional pieces, built and installed.

even with ups being 2+ years old, you should be able to pull what you need

primarily what you would need is the communications that are used to receive

Also having NFSv4 problems

I have mirrors of several repositories a 1TB hardware raid array mounted
as /pub on a RHEL54 server. I want to locally export that to several F12
laptops and desktop machines on a gigabit home network using nfs4. I'm
having trouble getting F12 nfs4 clients to mount the exported directory
on the RHEL54 server. The error I'm getting on the F12 client is:


# mount -v -t nfs4 -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr lion:/pub 
/lion
mount.nfs4: timeout set for Sun Jan  3 17:16:25 2010

Local details:
RHEL54 server 'lion' = 192.168.1.2
/etc/exports = *(rw), owned by root, permissions 644
F12 laptop 'tiger' = 192.168.1.7

The server looks fine:

The problem appears to be on the F12 client side:

About four years ago I was able to set up a similar arrangement using

be having the same problem Robert P.J. Day is having with rpc.mountd.

gthumb problems

2010-01-03 Thread Paolo Galtieri

I have a Nikon D70s camera.  I also have an external USB smart card reader

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0b97:7762 O2 Micro, Inc. Oz776 SmartCard Reader

When I plug the 4GB SanDisk from my Nikon into the card reader it mounts the
disk and puts an icon on my desktop.  When I double click on the icon it
brings up a file browser.  It identifies the contents as being digital
photos and there is a button on the file browser to start the gthumb photo
import tool.  Clicking on this button does not bring up gthumb.   When I
look in my .xsession-errors file I find the following:

(nautilus:2163): Nautilus-GDU-WARNING **: unable to query info: The
specified location is not supported

handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
handle_message(member:'NameOwnerChanged')
D70S; exec gthumb --import-photos: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking
for matching `'
D70S; exec gthumb --import-photos: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end
of file

The same problem occurs if I attach the camera directly to the PC.  The
actual mount point is

/media/NIKON D70S

Note the space between the NIKON and the D70S.  It looks like the file
browser is choking on the space since it is showing D70S rather than NIKON
D70S.

This all worked fine under F11.

Once the device is mounted I can run gthumb manually on the mount point to
import the files.

  While I am still unable to find the original .xml files on the backup

  Then Tom's virsh define should now work if I copy the lines from log

Using ext4? If your file system's not syncing before poweroff, perhaps
it's file system corruption. Have you tried ext3?

  a private emailer tells me that what's causing the problem above is
deselecting the NFSv1 line from /etc/sysconfig/nfs.  apparently, that
causes the problem so you should try this:

#MOUNTD_NFS_V1=no
MOUNTD_NFS_V2=no
MOUNTD_NFS_V3=no

weirdly, that fixes that last problem.  why should that be?

 Before changing back to ext3 and reinstalling - which looks like a shot

 The simplest way is to regularly backup your machine definitions
 via virsh dumpxml name  name.xml, then you can recover the
 machine definition via virsh define name.xml. If you can still
 boot f11, that would be the way to go.

  I have backups of the entire disk but cannot still boot f11. Is that

Try /etc/libvirt/qemu for the xml files.

Complete stab in the dark :-) Doing a fsck is a good idea - I was
assuming that the partition was being formatted each time Fedora was
re-installed, but if he uses a separate partition for /home, then that
could well be it.

My understanding is that he does fresh installs and KDE works
correctly the first time, but then dies after the first reboot. That
doesn't make sense, so seems like his KDE configs aren't being written
properly. I've had a similar problem with Fedora 11 and ext4.

Problems ripping DVDs I legally own to my media server

2010-01-03 Thread Thomas Cameron


All -

To make clear - I am only doing this with DVDs I legally own.  I am not 
pirating, I am just trying to get all my DVDs onto a media server I am 
building instead of having them strewn all over the entertainment center.


Specifically, I tried to rip Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen.  It 
apparently has some new copy protection scheme where it reports that it 
is 80 gigs, and every method I tried to decrypt them under Linux failed.


I wound up having to fire up my dusty old Windows box and use Ideal DVD 
Copy to rip them successfully (http://tinyurl.com/yg8269g).


What, if anything, are you using to make legit backups of your newer, 
copy-protected DVDs under Linux?

  I've seen that - for me was usually a graphics driver problem -
installer works great (in vesa mode) - but as soon as it boots the
'real' driver jumps in and craps out.

  I'd look in /var/log/X* and /var/log/boot and see if there's anything
of interest (using recovery or live cd or whatever).

control-C and yum update

2010-01-03 Thread Paul Allen Newell


A quick question which is hopefully just an education request ...

While reinstalling f12 on a machine that I messed up, I was following 
all my notes and directions and reached the point where the install was 
successful and it was time to update. I did a su -l and then typed 
yum update. I realized I had forgotten something and immediately did a 
control-C in the terminal that I had executed the yum update. To my 
surprise, it ignored it until it got to the first confirm and then 
proceeded to kill the process. No problem as the update was stopped but ...


I though control-C was an immediate kill of whatever was running and 
was wondering why yum didn't stop when I tried to kill it.


Am I missing something about either control-C or yum update .. or both?

Thanks in advance for any explanation as I am wondering if I really 
understand control-C

Technically speaking, all settings stuff go to /etc and the xml files

I would suggest look into the virsh interactive command line to manage

open one, try `virsh --connect qemu:///system'. You can see all the

yum update question

2010-01-03 Thread Paul Allen Newell

While doing a yum update after an install from DVD, I noticed that I 
got the following message (this is a write it down and then retype into 
computer that has mail so I might have a typo:


[...]
   Installing: kernal-PAE-2.6.31.9-174.fc12.i686
W:  Possible missing firmware ql8100_fw.bin for module qla2xxx.lo
W:  Possible missing firmware aic94xx-seq_fw.bin for module aic94xx.lo
[...]

The machine is old and I am prepared to understand that it might be 
getting too old. But I can't figure out how I am decipher this message 
into something which lets me understand what f12 thinks is missing in my 
firmware. I checked my f11 install logs on another machine and do not 
see these warnings.


IMHO, it would be nice if yum told me where to look to understand these 
messages, but MHO might be ignorant of something obvious, so I can't 
complain until I understand this warning.


Thanks in advance,
Paul

   rpc.mountd.
 
a private emailer tells me that what's causing the problem above is
  deselecting the NFSv1 line from /etc/sysconfig/nfs.  apparently, that
  causes the problem so you should try this:
 
  #MOUNTD_NFS_V1=no
  MOUNTD_NFS_V2=no
  MOUNTD_NFS_V3=no
 
  weirdly, that fixes that last problem.  why should that be?

 Robert,

 Weird is right. It does fix the nfs restart problem, but not the
 manual nfs mount problem. There's something else still lurking.
 Thanks.

  i'll start with submitting the above rpc.mountd error(?) to
bugzilla.  it seems pretty clear that *needing* NFSv1 support simply
to *start* rpc.mountd makes no sense.  but there's still another issue
related to this.

  as i read it, NFSv4 now incorporates the mount operation in the
protocol, and i read that as saying that you don't even *need* a
running rpc.mountd anymore if you restrict yourself to NFSv4.
however, the earlier emailer wrote the following:

My understanding is that mountd, statd etc are still needed but they
do not need to be exposed to the outside world. That is, you can limit
all of them in /etc/hosts.allow to 127.0.0.1 and only open port 2049
on the firewall.

  so does anyone know for sure?  in any event, i'll bugzilla that
earlier error.

I though control-C was an immediate kill of whatever was running and was
wondering why yum didn't stop when I tried to kill it.




It's an interrupt, which could be blocked or it might be on a
different queue. You should be able to background yum and kill it
straight away:

Ctrl+z
kill %1

-c

  

Chris:

Got it ... this makes sense as there are jobs I run that I have to ps 
and then kill. If yum blocks until first y/N, it makes sense.

I suppose a case could be made for that either way.  Seems rather minor
to me.

I've not yet had time to look a this stuff.  However, is there any
downside from starting rpc.mountd even if it isn't going to be used?

Re: Problems ripping DVDs I legally own to my media server

2010-01-03 Thread Marko Vojinovic

On Monday 04 January 2010 04:29:37 Thomas Cameron wrote:
 To make clear - I am only doing this with DVDs I legally own.

I always understood all this DVD ownership thing in the following way --- you 
own the disk itself (the hardware media, the cheap part), and you own the 
right to play it in your home (the expensive part). But you don't own the data 
on the disk (I guess that would be 8-digit expensive), and therefore are not 
allowed to make copies of it, even for yourself. I am not sure that this 
interpretation is correct, but you may want to reread and rethink the 
copyright clause of your DVD's and understand more precisely what exactly you 
do own and what you do not own.

That said, I perfectly understand the need to backup those DVD's. If movie 
companies would provide a service of replacing original but broken (or worn 
off) media with new ones, free of charge (or only for the cost of media), life 
would be much easier. But unfortunately, movie companies are greedy enough to 
require you to buy not only two copies of the media (cheap), but also two 
copies of the right to play it (expensive) when your media wears off. As a 
user, the only legitimate option you have is the illegal one --- to break the 
law and copy the data... :-)

 Specifically, I tried to rip Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen.  It
 apparently has some new copy protection scheme where it reports that it
 is 80 gigs, and every method I tried to decrypt them under Linux failed.

In principle, every movie that can be played back on a computer can be copied 
on a hard disk (think of capturing the screen on every frame). So the real 
question is --- can you *play* the damn thing in Linux? If you can do a

mplayer dvd://

and are able to watch it, then you can use mencoder to rip it. If you are not 
comfortable with command line, there are various GUI's for various encoders 
out there that can make things easier.

 I wound up having to fire up my dusty old Windows box and use Ideal DVD
 Copy to rip them successfully (http://tinyurl.com/yg8269g).

Do you want to rip the DVD or to copy it? These things are not quite the same. 

Making an exact copy of the DVD may not be so easy, if at all possible. The 
manufacturer may intentionally implement hardware errors in the media, with 
the idea to check if those errors are present during playback (thus 
determining if the copy is legal or not). Those things are not easy to 
reproduce.

OTOH, ripping is the procedure of re-recording the data that is being played. 
Provided that you are able to play the movie at all, this can always be done.

 What, if anything, are you using to make legit backups of your newer,
 copy-protected DVDs under Linux?

If I want to rip the movie, I use mencoder. And I tweak the custom detailed 
options for every particular movie in order to get the best rip.

If I want to copy the DVD, I usually use dd to create an .iso file. While the 
.iso is on the hard disk, I always loop mount it and check if the movie is 
playable from there (ie that there are no nasty copy-protection schemes 
involved). If it is, good. If it is not, I try to understand why, tweak the dd 
options a little in order to get it right, etc. If I fail or tweaking takes 
too much time, I give up and rip the movie instead.

HTH, :-)

Re: Kde problems

 I'm using fc12-86_64,my problem is when ever I logout/login or

 from my backup and logout/login with no result.
 An install a while ago my sys. booted into a default desktop not my
 usual desktop,I found out that kde was not reading my ~/.kde file,I cp
 -r a copy from ~.kde.old ~.kde but on logging out/in the ~.kde file was
 over written.The only solution I've had is to reinstall the system.
 I've got no idea how to troubleshoot these problems.Help would be
 appreciated.

Ok, how about this: create a new, dummy user, and log into that account (into 
KDE, of course). Check that everything is ok, logout, log back in. Is it the 
same? Do you still see the error message?

If the dummy user works as expected, then something in your old settings in 
~/.kde.old is making KDE unhappy.

If the dummy user doesn't work, then there is some deeper problem and it needs 
troubleshooting. My idea would be to read the system and KDE log files, and 
look for errors and warnings. Or to switch to runlevel 3, do a startx, 
reproduce the error, read the output from the terminal. Or to do a strace or 
something, to see what app is trying to access /usr/bin/autorun.

Incidentally, I don't have /usr/bin/autorun on my system, and it runs KDE just 
fine.

HTH, :-)
