Pekr 6-Oct-2005 [223x2] | but that was reported some xyz versions before. They do regular updates, it is really a nice app, having auto-updates for itself and its plug-ins, simply a joy to use - that is how apps should work - install just once and then have it up-to-date for ages ... |
ah, did not noticed I am in linux group, sorry. But Azureus is JAVA based, hopefully it will work with linux too ... | |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [225] | should, thats why i did not notice it could be wrong :) |
Alan 6-Oct-2005 [226] | I tried playing the presentation on Mandrake and all I got was the vid/no sound ? Which player are you guys using that will play a mp4 ? |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [227x2] | mplayer. |
but Gabriele says vlc works, except of version 0.8 | |
Gabriele 6-Oct-2005 [229] | mplayer is probably the best on linux. |
Alan 6-Oct-2005 [230] | tried mplayer and all I got was the vid/no sound-yet it does play a mp3 ? |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [231] | do you have all the plugins? it uses some codecs from windows. compiled mine myself, based on some tutorial. maybe distros has not everything due to ip? |
Alan 6-Oct-2005 [232] | will check,thanks ! still a newbie in the Linux world-have a Linux user group meeting tonite :) |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [233] | i have a /usr/lib/win32 full of such codes. and there where one or two other dirs mentioned too. IIRC xine suggested to download the mplayer-codes too, althought i installed from distro. |
Gabriele 6-Oct-2005 [234x3] | mplayer should not need the win codecs for mp4. |
maybe your mandrake is just a bit old. | |
try to download mpeg4ip, it is a mp4-only player/encoder. that should in theory work... | |
Alan 6-Oct-2005 [237] | have 10.1 not the very newest but $ is tight right now |
Gabriele 6-Oct-2005 [238] | (IMHO you should donwload Ubuntu, it will keep itself updated and it is easy to use - though gnome based) |
Alan 6-Oct-2005 [239x3] | also i can not get View 1.3.? to install it does not make a ./rebol dir ? |
problem with most Linux distro is that I have a dual cpu and most don't support dual cpus :( | |
on XP right now other wise I could check as I write | |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [242x3] | google "mplayer mp4 mandrake" The solution (hopefully): install something more: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20050925.165309.a1ed86e6.en.html your problem: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20050924.022642.ef5dfed6.en.html |
about dual cpu: i guess thats wrong. usually distros have multiple kernels and you need one with smp in the name. should be as simple as telling the package-manager what you want. (in theorie, never tested smp, but on debian changed kernel for other reasons that way. | |
ubuntu sounds good. there is a kubuntu or something beased on kde. also, dont know about ubuntu, but on debian if i would install a kde-program without having kde, it would suggest a lot packeages, and 100mb later i would have everything including desktop i guess. | |
Henrik 6-Oct-2005 [245] | it's about the same for ubuntu, except they usually use the latest packages. I had gnome 2.12 the day before it came out officially. |
Tomc 6-Oct-2005 [246] | so with ubuntu what do I do about the missing lib to run altme |
Henrik 6-Oct-2005 [247] | tomc: I have the same problem, btw. |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [248x4] | install something ;) |
there is also a trick with linking new library to old library, but i forgot the details. | |
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages, at the bottom you can enter a filename and usually get its package. most libs have compat-somethings. i guess the packages on ubuntu are similar, and that they have a similar page. (my link shows in german here, i guess thats some smartness. you should see something in your language). | |
my debian-altme runs some month know, so i forgot what i did exactly, sorry. | |
Tomc 6-Oct-2005 [252] | I have not spent 3 seconds looking into it yet. just hoping to spend my time some other way :) |
Henrik 6-Oct-2005 [253] | this used to be something with libxaw6, but I have it installed... |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [254x2] | what does altme say if you run it from the commandline? |
hmm, is altme 1.0.2 current or did i miss an update? | |
Henrik 6-Oct-2005 [256] | symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libXaw.so.6: undefined symbol: xawPrintShellWidgetClass |
Tomc 6-Oct-2005 [257] | I am not where that machine is so cant really help |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [258x2] | the interesting thing is usually the .so.6, which is the version-number. you can install multiple versions of libs, and altme wants an old one. |
hmm, but undefined symbol is something different. hu? | |
Tomc 6-Oct-2005 [260] | thats a coincidence I want a new altme |
Volker 6-Oct-2005 [261x3] | maybe ubuntu does something a bit different? dont know. i am only expert in installign packages.. |
and expert in pasting error messages in google. http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2005-July/068257.html http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2005-July/069412.html till now i know you have a bug. | |
and they play the ball to altmes/sdk . http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-bugs/2005-July/069415.html *sigh* | |
Kaj 8-Oct-2005 [264] | You have to install the package libxaw6 |
Henrik 9-Oct-2005 [265] | kaj, that seems to work on debian, but not ubuntu |
Kaj 9-Oct-2005 [266x6] | That's strange |
I'm on Ubuntu Hoary here, which is basically Debian, and I'm running View and AltME | |
I have libxaw6, libxaw7 and libxaw8 installed, which are standard Ubuntu packages. libxaw7 is the standard XFree86 library, libxaw6 is the older X11 library, and libxaw8 is a new version of libxaw7 | |
libxaw7 is currently default on most Linux systems. For older REBOL versions like AltME you have to install libxaw7. The new View 1.3, however, is already linked to libxaw7, which makes this a lot easier | |
In the same way, the new View needs a relatively new libstdc++ standard C++ library (part of GCC). On older Linux systems you may have to install this, but on most systems it's already standard, so this should usually not be a problem | |
Henrik, did you install all the dependencies of libxaw6? That error message looks like libxaw6 is installed, but that if can't find something that it needs | |
Volker 9-Oct-2005 [272] | See my links. Henrik has the lib, but a symbol is missing. Another app had same error-message, they say "deprecated, tell vendor". But they say also libxaw8 (unsupported) has it. You have it, maybe Henrik needs it to, even if altme says 6? |
