<0> hi all is there support for the cpu yet please AMD Mobile Turion 64 Mobile Technology
<1> hi, my print jobs vanish without any error messages, could this be a kernel parallel port issue? if so how can i fix it?
<2> does lvm's device mapper constitute a block driver?
<3> _RADIOhead!!!
<4> ooooooooooooooooo
<4> neil_m, dude
<4> sup man
<4> kick gb_,
<4> :)
<4> TheBonsai, man
<5> why is System.map removed by make clean, while it is required by some modules....
<6> Blank, I wanted to ask one information: I am compiling kernel 2.6.14.4 on a FC4 and wanted to know if someone has never seen to dull in the following compilation error: make[1 ]: *** [ _ _ modpost ] Error 135
<7> i have mplayer running with near 100% cpu (this is a very cpu intensive video), and the linux kernel takes this to mean the program is non interactive, and gives it a much lower priority... this cause extremely annoying video jitters, is there any good/graceful solution for this?
<7> bah, not allowed to non superuser...
<7> heh, by regularly calling setpriority(0) it works
<8> try running as root and nicing it to -10
<7> geckosenator: running mplayer as root is braindead
<7> it's about as smart as running your regular shell as root :)
<7> anyway nice won't help, it needs priority... changed mplayer source, made it run 'setpriority(0)' once a frame, it slightly helps...
<7> linux is still quick to repriority it though, according to top...
<8> why braindead
<8> I can run mplayer as root fine
<9> running any user space app as root is braindead
<9> might as well go back to using micro$hit
<9> your basically running every app as root there too
<7> geckosenator: mplayer -dumpstream /etc/shadow (you can also override /etc/shadow with your own file with -dumpfile)
<7> not to mention you can run any arbitrary program via mplayer -slave mode
<7> btw, i DID have mplayer suid root for a long while, it's not that insanely insecure if you don't run live streams and are a single user machine
<7> but it's still not very smart
<8> that's silly
<8> oh, I suppose I am more secure then
<7> what, that mplayer can do these things?
<8> since I don't run X
<8> do you run x?
<7> heh
<8> well?
<7> yes, i do...
<8> well it runs as root
<8> I run mplayer as a user, I only suggested running it as root if it would fix your problem
<7> oh heh
<8> so maybe you are less secure than me
<7> hey, i'm really not one for paranoia, i told you, i ran mplayer as suid root for quite a while just because it was more convinient..
<8> I think it's fine
<8> you can renice user processes if you are root also
<8> so you could run it as a user then set the priority higher than the user is allowed to as root
<7> i'm wondering if there is any linux solution to my problem...
<7> (since it's sort of the cause of the problem, at least more so than mplayer)
<8> well my computer is too slow for h264
<8> it's watchable but sometimes jumps
<7> you can try -lavdopts skiploopfilter=all
<8> what does that do?
<7> it reduces ~30-50% cpu with extremely minimal quality reduce
<8> hmm
<7> it makes the decoder not conform to spec by not blurring block edges
<8> I should do this
<8> also my video could be too slow
<7> i can run the h.264 serenity trailer only with that option (iirc it's 1920x1080 ?)
<8> well this is 640x480
<7> video out? always use a hardware accelerated vo...
<8> i'm using fbdev2
<7> this means not fbdev,sdl,ggi,etc.
<7> thats bad
<8> those are the only ones that work
<7> vo_xv is usually the simplest, but ok, no X, you can try cvidix and one of the hardware specific ones, which card do you have?
<8> matrox
<8> but it isn't supported
<7> perfect! vo_mga
<8> it's matrox millenium II
<7> heh which matrox is it
<7> hmm, what is that, G550?
<8> no
<8> it's lower
<8> that driver doesn't work at all
<7> well, there's mga_vid, it needs a kernel patch/module, and then you can use vo_mga
<7> mga_vid doesn't work for you?
<8> hey cvidix worked
<8> I didn't have mga_vid
<8> the problem is the text is still there
<7> if cvidix works the mga_vid works, mga_vid has the advantage of not needing root
<7> text?
<8> yeah
<8> on the console
<8> well I have two video cards
<7> oh, you mean, you have video under text?
<8> geforce2 and matrox millenium
<7> persoally i find that very cool :) and the solution is -nocolorkey
<8> well the text from the console is there under the movie
<8> it's funny
<8> well that worked
<8> cool
<7> as an added bonus from switching from vo_fbdev, you can now click 'f' during movie to go full screen and back
<8> can matrox do cvidix ?
<8> because it plays on the geforce
<8> it's always full screen
<7> heh, yeah, it should...
<8> fbdev is on the matrox always
<7> heh
<8> I tried getting the matrox kernel modules a while ago and didn't work
<8> I used to have vesa support but it didn't work right
<7> there's a 2.6 one instead of the 2.4 one, it's quite hard to find though
<8> yeah
<8> I'm using reiser4
<8> so I can't go back to 2.4
<7> try -vo cvidix:mga_vid.so
<8> ok
<8> it didn't work
<8> the -nocolorkey thing helped
<7> ah, found it
<8> also, do you know why mplayer outputs text on top of my video?
<7> it's called colorkey... everything had the color '0' (black), is filled with the movie
<8> with fbdev it does
<7> has nothing to do with text, just color
<8> oh
<7> -colorkey RRGGBB
<7> -nocolorkey means just put the video anywhere
<7> accept my dcc
<7> or just grab this
<7> http://attila.kinali.ch/mga/mga_vid-2.6.12-2005-06-18.tar.gz
<7> you'll probably need to recompile mplayer with mga_vid support...
<8> oh
<8> ok
<7> just look at 'mplayer -vo help', if mga is there you won't need recompile
<8> I'm getting lost in irc
<8> I don't think I have mga
<8> I have like 20 outputs though
<8> hehe
<7> i have.. 27 it seems
<7> 26
<8> hehe nice
<7> however md5sum and null outputs aren't particularly interesting...
<8> I'm learning about mplayer now
<8> well null can be useful
<7> btw have i mentioned i'm mplayer developer...
<7> yes i use both often
<7> you're better off -novideo or -vc dummy, unfortunately they are crashing...
<8> I was wondering if you were
<7> hehe
<8> I wanted to write support for mplayer to use the gpu
<8> for decoding or maybe for mencoder
<8> it's kind of far-fetched
<8> I got lost in the mplayer sources pretty quick
<7> ... you mean, for cards which support mpeg decoding?
<8> no, I mean for people with recent video cards
<8> to speed up computation
<7> -vo mpegpes , though i don't know how to use it (don't have it)
<7> -vo xvmc too
<8> no, like opengl support
<7> -vo gl ?
<8> it could be completely off screen
<8> to encode video
