Bruno Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 For the DVD I still have no answer . . . . so I suggest you test-run that Slax Live CD and see if you can post on the forum using Slax :DRemember the login is "root" . . password "toor" . . . . . and if you get no GUI: "startx" Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) I think I found something for the DVD:As user ( not as "su" ) $ xine -A arts Aparently it should use the arts sound driver and not the oss that it is using by default . . ( you can also try "xine -A alsa" to use the alsa driver . . I tested in on a regular music CD) Brunoref: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...lready+uses+PCMhttp://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...lready+uses+PCM Edited January 13, 2005 by Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 It works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     Sweet.Thank you soooooo much Bruno!!!.HURRAY ! HURRAY !! HURRAY !!!DVDs in Xine working !!! Congrats Gaucho !Now, I know a nice cool additional trick for Xine, start it like this: $ xine -A alsa --borderless Have FUN !Next, regarding your adventures with Slax and D Small Linux:This shows us that your hardware has a sightly problematic compatibility with Linux ( mildly said ) . . . . I think we should avoid Slackware and Debian based Distros.A good thing we got PCLos running okay now, and that by updating you basically never will have to install a new versions ( updating will get you the new versions automatically )One day, when we are really desperate for new things to do we could try to tackle the connection-at-boot problem . . ( Maybe until then we could make an icon on the taskbar for quick-connect as temporary solution: make a new menu-item with "menudrake" in the section "applications¨ --> "monitoring" . . . the command for it is "usr/bin/net_applet" . . . save the new menu and start the applet from the menu, you will see a new applet next to the clock, rightclicking on it you will get a menu with "connect" "monitor" "configure" and "always launch on startup" . . . that is what you want: "always launch on startup" because then you just have to click the icon after booting to make the connection to the net ) BrunoPS: Remind me to tell you all about Gkrellm next time we are online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauchoperezoso Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 dvd works ok but only with xine and only after ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd ifrom the command line.that is after i reboot i have to run it.i wonder why it doesn work in mplayer or kaffeine....as for the internet connection,i got lost a little bit.after applications>monitoring what do i choose next?and one more easy i hope question.how do i make firefox my default browser?now it is konqueror and when i choose in preferences of firefox to set it as default browser it doesn work. oh i was supposed to remind you of Gkrellm. and last thing what exactly happens after :xine -A alsa --borderless ?

Bruno Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Those are a lot of questions . . . but the evening is still young Let us start with the first:I think that you have to do "ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd" after every reboot because "udev" does not make it at boot . . . but I know a work around: # kwrite /etc/rc.d/rc.local And put the "ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd" line at the END of that file . . then save the file and you are done.Then show me # cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local so I can see if it is correct ;)After that we will do point 2 of your questions :DB) BrunoPS: "xine -A alsa --borderless" gives you a borderless video output window . . . pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
