Re: aRTs and XMMS problems anyone???

LOL :) NO it doesn't abort !! It's CPU usage blows up to 50 or 60% and stays
like that ... no segfault , no stream aborting, and if you want to see smtg
nice, go to control center in kde , hit test sound, and quit it , until it
finishes to play the sample, and then play a song in xmms, with arts out ...
and guess what ... the sample will continue in xmms ... :(

kernel: Nforce2 AGP patch in 2.4.21.-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl?
by Patrick
Hi all (Arjan specifically :),
Since the hardware acceleration on my Radeon 9000 is sort of not there
(glxgears gives a measly 230fps), I wonder if the infamous nforce2 agp
patch has been applied to the 2.4.21.-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl kernel?
Regards,
Patrick

not sure how many others have suggested this, but is there any

Failed Install (additional gripes)
by Chris Elston
Up front I'd like to say that this message will come off rather negative.
That's only because I've been using RedHat so long and I hold it to a
slightly higher standard than other distros. That being said...
I'm having problems installing Severn on a Dell Inspiron 8100. Standard
setup: 800 MHz Intel, Cisco Wireless, 128 RAM, etc. I saw in the archives
that someone named Rob had already gotten his working but he never ran
into the problems I did, so here I am.
Downloaded the CDs, popped them into the drive and booted into the
installer. I've been here before (many times), so no surprises. Jump
through the hoops and opt to install all packages, just to see what Severn
has to offer and to insure that I would run into fewer problems as I tried
to install more stuff later. Reboot, go through the "first boot" deal and
then...nothing. Well, not quite nothing. White on black terminal comes
up with login prompt instead of graphical login. Catch is, my keyboard
doesn't respond. So even if I wanted to login or change to other virtual
terminals (Ctrl+Alt+F2, etc) I'm out of luck. Tried rebooting again, just
to see if it had something to do w/ the "first boot" going wrong, but no
dice. Tried reinstalling using the default "desktop" set of packages
thinking that I may have installed "too much" and some unnecessary
service was making my laptop hang. Eventually I have the same problems,
hangs after graphical boot and goes to a unusable text-based login.
Judging from other messages, one problem might be that my video card is an
NVidia, which aparently looks to be giving more than just me problems.
However, if I can't even get to a working login prompt (graphical or
otherwise), how am I suppose to go about updating drivers? Rescue boot?
Anyone have ideas on what's going wrong? Anyone else experience this?
Anyone else have a Dell Inspiron 8100 that they got working? Even the
slightest help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, now w/ that, let me go into a few complaints that I have w/ Severn and
a few of the past releases in general:
1) Severn's graphical boot - seems like I'm not the only that didn't like
this. Actually, I dig the idea. Don't think it's much of a Windoze copy
as it is a Mac copy. How about this to satisfy everyone: offer a way to
toggle silent/verbose mode. I'm envisioning something similar to XCDRoast
where you can go from Minimal, Normal and Extended views. You could have
"Press F1 for Minimal, F2 for Normal and F3 for Extended views". Is it
not possible to take keyboard input during that phase?
2) Before and after my Severn troubles, I've been running Mandrake 9.1 on
this laptop (use RH 9.0 on my workstation/server, love it). Only thing
keeping from 9.0 on the laptop was wireless problems. Mandrake allows me
to fully configure my wireless setup (specifically my SSID for our private
network) during the install process. When using 9.0, I had to wait until
after my first full boot before I could have it set up properly and even
then I had issues. A neighboring, public wireless network kept "stealing"
my connection from my private network and it seemed there was no way to
stop it. When using Mandrake, I was able to configure for my private
network during install and never had my connection "stolen" from that
pesky not-as-good public network. What I'm getting at is...a) why can't I
do all my network configuration during install? b) what was causing my
troubles in 9.0? c) did Severn address these issues? (I'd much rather use
RH over Mandrake)
3) Maybe I missed a "meeting" or something, but when did support for
other window managers than Gnome and KDE drop off? I've personally never
liked the Blue Curve Gnome and only used it log enough to get WindowMaker,
BlackBox or Enlightenment running (which often had to involve some
hacking around). I'm not against having Gnome in by default (gives those
newbies a familiar territory and keeps them using Linux long enough to
enjoy it) but what does it hurt to at least offer them for the few of us
who prefer the less bulky, stripped-down window managers. Not enough room
on disc 3?
Those are the issues off the top of my head I've been having. Just trying
to put my $0.02 in. Again, any help on my install problems and
opposing/supporting comments on these other thoughts is welcomed.
Thanks,
Chris Elston

Bob,
If your keyboard, mouse, and all your systems have USB ports, this will do
the job very well:

Re: Just an idea!

Not sure if this is the best place for discussion on this
feature...maybe there is a targeted gnome development list where the
technical problems with this idea can be better flushed out....but that
being said..here is my take on the issue:
Automated placement in the correct Menu category would mean
autogenerating, or editting of the .desktop file associated with that
package. Several possible gotchas here.
What if the package has an already defined .desktop file...what if it
has none...what if the package actually installs several binary files
that should be accessible from the gnome menus...and how do you really
decide if a specific binary that the package installs needs to have an
entry in the gnome menus (surely a perl module package wouldn't get an
entry in the gnome menus)
So I guess some of this logic would be solved for if there was a
mechanism to see if the package included any .desktop files, so that any
included .desktop files could be automatically editted to use the users
preferred Category. And packages without included .desktop files...don't
get entries in the gnome menu(the assumption here being the packager
would have included a .desktop file if the package was enduser oriented
and not something like a system library or a lowlevel commandline
utility)
But even this leads to problems i guess with something like the rpm -V
command which would flag these editted .desktop files as not being
stock. Not sure if the rpm -V issue is enough to say this feature isn't
implementable.
But the real question is...what are you trying to solve with this extra
gnome-vfs logic? Is the issue, how to add menu items to packages that
don't have menu items packaged with them? If thats it..then I don't
think this is a good solution...packagers need to included .desktop
files for the applications they expect people to use as a desktop user.
Trying to automate the creation of .desktop files if they aren't already
there would be very hard to do right....but if you limit this feature to
only packages that already have .desktop files as part of their payload,
this might be doable with a edit of the Category inside those .desktop
files...as a sort of post rpm install scriptlet.
And would this have applicability to only inside nautilus? I'd be more
interested if other gnome applications could get access to this sort of
thing via the gnome-vfs layer. Like when i'm downloading an rpm with
epiphany...it would be nice to be able to use the same applications://
hooks as part of the download step...but this too is probably outside
the scope of this beta list i think. I would encourage you to poke
around on the gnome mailinglists and see if there is interested parties
there in working out maybe how this would work best.

NVIDIA direct rendering problem solved!
by Guo Yang
Or at least it was solved here in my machine. Wish you all who have this
problem good luck too!:)
I've been annoyed by this message for a long time after I installed the NVIDIA
driver:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
But I never tried to solve it because it didn't bother my daily use until today
I disovered the crash of my IDL (Interactive Data Language) was caused by this. So
I decided to try to track it down. After searching google in vain for an hour, I
decided to look at my system carefully and see if there were any problems. Then I
found this strange links in /usr/lib/tls/i686/libGL.os.1 which pointed to
/usr/X11/lib/tls/i686/libGL.so.1.2. But this libGL.so.1.2 was from the old Mesa
package from XFree86. I thought this was the problem and deleted the i686 directory
and ran ldconfig again. Then I tried glxinfo and glxgears. Bingo, the message was
gone and the glxinfo shows the direct rendreing: Yes. And most important my IDL
doesn't crash anymore!
I am using severn with the kernel upgraded to 2.6.0-0.test2.1.30. And I installed
NVidia pakage before I upgraded the kernel. I am not sure if NVidia missed the
link in the i686 directory and caused this problem.
