Re: [gentoo-user] Where to set language with lightdm
As a temporary solution you may set your locale to de_DE.UTF-8 but export LC_ALL=en_US in the shell's rc file. Well, I can live with that - for now :) Thx Still hope lightdm will behave like GDM in the future. If you google around you find some bugs related to set language issues, so there's still hope.
Re: [gentoo-user] Video editing advice on formats and size of file
Michael Mol wrote: This is a slightly simplified explanation, owing to my probably not remembering details quite correctly. Media files consist of at least three parts: The container format, the audio stream and the video stream. You're familiar with container formats as .flv, .mkv, .avi, .mpg, .mp4, etc. The audio and video streams consist of frames (for video) or samples (for audio) where each one consists of information particular to a particular video image or audio sample. The audio and video frames typically don't include information as to when they occurred; a frame won't tell you that it's specific to 33.2 seconds into a sequence, for example. Normally, the file and/or streams will describe how many frames per second the video stream should move along at, and how many samples per second the audio stream should move along. When the samples and frames stop matching up as the media file plays, you get desync. This is normal to within a certain tolerance; when you're moving along 48k audio samples per second, and only 30 video frames per second, nobody cares if an audio sample is ten or so off from its ideal position. Unfortunately, I can only tell you what's going on. I can't tell you how to fix it; it's not something I dealt with much. I'd suggest you give the other tools a try, too. The other tools brought up will do essentially the same thing as avidemux; they're just ripping the audio and video streams out of the source container files and placing them into a new container file. Your old approach was very, very slow because your tools were generating completely new audio and video streams. It's the difference between dd if=src of=dst and dd if=src|lzma --decompress --stdout|lzma --stdout|dd of=dst ... except lzma doesn't loose any data in the process, while your transcoding was. Once you get the sync issues worked out, you might even notice improvements in audio and image quality. :) I been doing some testing on this. I went to about the end of a 3 hour video. By the time it gets near the end of the video, the sound is almost 1.4 seconds off. I tested this by telling smplayer to adjust the audio delay. It is a bit annoying to see something on screen then hear it a second or so later. It's like seeing a explosion at a distance. You see it then have to wait for the sound wave to hit you. When I am midways of the video, it is about .6 to .7 seconds off. So, it gets farther off as it goes. It's most likely one step off that just gets worse as it goes. I tried a couple other commands but I get errors about the file type. I think a couple movies are in flv1 which is old. I may have to convert them then stitch them together, which may not do the sound any good then either. lol Well, I got something to play with.

[gentoo-user] Re: Error emerging ati-drivers-11.11
I finally found an unconfirmed bug about this - https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392753 Unfortunately without solution. Any tips? 2011/12/24 czernitko czerni...@gmail.com Hello everyone! I've got a problem that makes me lose my hair for about two days already. Emerging ati-drivers results in ebuild error, but ati proprietary installer works just fine. Last version of ati-drivers that compiles just fine is 11.6. All following versions of the driver (11.7-11.12) fail to compile. I haven't found any appropriate bug, so I guess there is more probably some problem with my environment. I am using hardened profile, by the way, but without PaX or GrSecurity. Does anyone have any clue about a solution? Or should I fill a bug at bugs.gentoo.org as this seems not to be an upstream bug? Thanks for any advice!

I stitched the first two videos together into a temporary file. Then I stitched the temporary file to the 3rd video. The sound is off but it sort of resets when it reached the stitch point so it is a good bit closer than it was. If I ever get me a video camera, I'm going to know to not break up videos if I ever plan to put them back together again. It appears that when you break the video, it is like humpty dumpty. You just can't quite get it back together again. At least this way is faster tho. Thanks to all for the ideas. I'm still testing things. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...

[gentoo-user] kdepim-4.7.3 or shall I wait for 4.7.4
I have held back from an upgrade until I had some free time over the Christmas hols, because I was fearing the kmail-migrator going belly up and leaving me with a broken mail client in the middle of a busy week. Now it's time to consider this upgrade, but I notice the 4.7.4 is in the offing and would probably go stable (which is what I run) in early January. Is it worth me waiting until then (by which time I'm back at work) or shall I just upgrade to 4.7.3 because as far as migration to akonadi is concerned there's no difference between the two (I think) ? Also, has anyone tried running akonadi with sqlite3? That's how I've been running it so far with no discernible problems (despite devs warnings about sqlite in general being unable to cope with parallel access/read/write calls from kdepim). -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] Video editing advice on formats and size of file

By the time it gets near the end of the video, the sound is almost 1.4 seconds off. I tested this by telling smplayer to adjust the audio delay. It is a bit annoying to see something on screen then hear it a second or so later. It's like seeing a explosion at a distance. You see it then have to wait for the sound wave to hit you. When I am midways of the video, it is about .6 to .7 seconds off. So, it gets farther off as it goes. It's most likely one step off that just gets worse as it goes. I tried a couple other commands but I get errors about the file type. I think a couple movies are in flv1 which is old. I may have to convert them then stitch them together, which may not do the sound any good then either. lol Well, I got something to play with. Dale :-) :-) Well, I tried to go to sleep and come back to this tomorrow. I couldn't sleep so here I am again. While laying there I came up with a idea. I stitched the first two videos together into a temporary file. Then I stitched the temporary file to the 3rd video. The sound is off but it sort of resets when it reached the stitch point so it is a good bit closer than it was. If I ever get me a video camera, I'm going to know to not break up videos if I ever plan to put them back together again. It appears that when you break the video, it is like humpty dumpty. You just can't quite get it back together again. At least this way is faster tho. Thanks to all for the ideas. I'm still testing things. There are ways to fix the sync, I just don't know what they are. Don't give up hope. :) Though...hm. One thing you might try is keeping the 'video' streams in 'copy' mode, but transcode the audio streams to something like 256kb/s MP3. It'll increase your file size slightly, but the tools may be clever enough to maintain sync better that way. -- :wq

If I remember correctly Avidemux has an option to calculate the original video file audio length (if the audio is VBR). Not sure how this would work with two files though; perhaps you would need to do this for each file first and then adjust accordingly? I guess the only way to find out is to play with it...

[gentoo-user] Modifying ebuilds, and dependency thoughts between hugin and luminance-hdr.
So, media-gfx/luminance-hdr uses hugin's align_image_stack by default. Except the ebuild doesn't list a dependency on hugin. I tried modifying its ebuild file to add the dependency, but Portage complained about a failed digest verification. So I don't know how to work around that. Then there are some additional realizations I had. 1) Pulling in hugin pulls in gtk and a bunch of additional dependencies. Luminance-hdr is a qt app; having a qt app trigger pulling in gtk seems silly. 2) The tool that luminance-hdr needs is a CLI tool. It doesn't need the GUI side of hugin. So it should be possible to build that hugin tool without the rest of its GUI. Sounds like another USE flag, or perhaps splitting align_image_stack into a separate ebuild and having both luminance-hdr and hugin pull that in. 3) Luminance-hdr doesn't *need* hugin; it has a builtin tool that fills the same role, but behaves a bit differently. It should be perfectly possible to remove hugin's tool from the list of options, based on a USE flag. Now, both hugin and luminance-hdr are both tools I've messed with a great deal...enough to be frustrated with aspects which lead me to dive into their source code to try to fix things. I'm pretty confident I could do just about all of it, code-wise and logic-wise. What I don't know is anything about ebuild and app development on Gentoo.* So...where do I go from here? * This also comes in on my desire to play The Old Republic, but WINE 1.3.x has trouble with it. Day job as a Win32 coder comes in handy here... -- :wq

I was mildly scolded for filing a bug report against xemacs' failing to build with libpng15, when xemacs was stable, and libpng15 wasn't, yet. I'm trying to being slightly more conservative about what I unmask. The devs are just sometimes grumpy and, as a group, inconsistent. Assuming there isn't already an existing bug report for that issue (just makes sure you check *thoroughly* - duplicate bug submissions is a pet peeve of mine) it's perfectly legitimate to report it. If you don't report it, then there'll just be a spate of users doing so when libpng15 is stabilised. It may very well be that libpng15 hasn't been stabilised for this very reason, but in that case there should be an existing bug so you don't waste time reporting the problem. I report bugs all the time saying please mark this ~x86 package as stable, works for me on an otherwise mostly stable system and I never get any complaints. The sum of your experience and mine is that devs will complain about this only when it suits them. Gentoo devs are over-worked volunteers, so we must accept such idiosyncrasies. But please don't stop fling useful bug reports. Stroller. (Searching shows that your report *was* found valuable, and that your bug was set as a blocker to bug 354479 until bug 385207 was created. This is *exactly* how it should have been handled, and if you hadn't reported the issue then someone else would have had to find out the hard way. The dev's chiding was a poor choice of words - please continue filing such useful bug reports.)
