Re: Xine Build
I would start xine from an xterm window and look at the error messages. I built xine from the tar ball and it worked, finally, quite nicely.

This is on a COL 3.1 box btw. The i686 rpms are for SuSE and didn't work on COL. Xine starts but exits abruptly.

Re: ps2dpf produces lines in some graphics
Ugh. Forget it. The error was due to acrobat reader in linux. There are no lines when viewed in acrobat with windows. And, switching through numerous maginifications, sometimes the lines go away.

RE: Re: Re: How to run DVD under Linux
Skippy, Got it working under xine 0.9.6. But I would be greatful if you would still send me a list of your files/libs that improved your xine. Thanks and best regards, Keith B.

If you are interested i'll mail you the list of libs and programs that I am using and testing for using as vcr, also for burning vcd and dvd disks.

EXT3 on laptops...
While watching S. King's IT on tv. tonight... with the wifey ofcourse... I upgraded my laptop to use ext3. Once installed, I did a couple of tests... namely... I removed the battery and then unplugged the wall adpater from the laptop... while in the middle of a compile session... Upon reboot, it was proclamed that the root system had to be I think it said re-journaled... anyway... an eye blink later I had my laptop back and ready for use! Amazing! I did this a COUPLE of times and each time the filesystem check was less than a second or two and this was on a 12gig file system! The same fsck on a 12gig ext2 would last forever... I'm royally impressed! And the movie stunk...

Now that ext3 has been merged into the 2.4.x mainline, there's absolutely no excuse for being at risk when the unexpected occurs.

If you take a 'fuzzy' (backup while system is in motion) what happens when you restore? If you boot a backup system can the root of the ext3 system be accessed? Not expecting you to answer all these... maybe someone can chime in. (or point to a source of information on ext3) -- ++ + Bruce S.

bluefish and galeon
I just hacked a webpage tonight with bluefish. Pretty easy to use. Bluefish allows you to view the html you are creating with Netscape, which is all fine and good if you like waiting for Netscape to start each time. Fortunately in the external preferences, bluefish does allow you to override the browser. When I set this to galeon %s, I was much happier. When galeon is already running, it just opens a new tabbed window in the already running browser. Of course you do need to remember to x out the window each time, or you will have dozen's of tabs hanging around. -- Collins Richey Denver Area - WWTLRD? gentoo_rc6 k2.4.17-pre6+ext3+xfce+sylpheed+galeon ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

If you're doing some sort of an image copy of an active filesystem, even without journaling, I would think that would be bad news. Also you can use an external journal in a separate fs with ext3. To tape? Question is, what happens when you restore (perhaps from a backup system) and then boot the ext3 root. I suppose it all works fine. -- ++ + Bruce S.

Odd, when I try this I have to close Galeon to reactivate Bluefish. I'm in Libranet (debian with woody update). You just entered galeon %s as the command?
