Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Boots and logs in really fast. (Well - maybe compared to the very slow 9.10!)

Mostly OK. Only bug I see is that the network manager doesn't start.
No big deal since I can run dhclient3 from the command line.

There was a serious problem in upgrading from 9.10. GNOME didn't
install properly, preventing an X login. Just sits there.
To fix, installed these from the command line.

embedded flv video crashes after skipping through frames

I'm haing issues using the latest mplayer on debian lenny.

The video (flv format) stops/crashes after skipping through frames but can still be playable from the start.

Anyone experienced this on a linux media server running mplayer, mencoder, and flvtool2?

Regards,

OL

problem on flvtool2

Hi!

Anyone had experienced this problem?

I'm using mencoder to convert wmv file into a flv file.

$ mencoder -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=64 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:keyint=50:vbitrate=300:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -vf scale=-3:360  -ofps 24 -o file.wmv.flv file.wmv

The flv file works if playing from a browser but after using:

$ flvtool2 -UP file.wmv.flv

The flv file is still playable but crashes when skipping through frames.

I'm using debian lenny by the way. Same setup works on debian etch though.

Regards,

OL

GoboLinux's filesystem/directory philosophy

It is outlined here:

http://www.gobolinux.org/index.php?page=at_a_glance

and now I realize it is in exactly the same spirit as
that of OS X's!

While I have not yet spent enough hours using OS X
at the command line level to make an proper judgement,
superficially at least it seems this way of arranging
files makes a lot of sense and might be a truly superior
alternative to the traditional file hierarchy.

The one downside I can think of is that there will
be a (heck of a ) lot more futzing around with
symbolic links (?).

Perhaps people here who have used GoboLinux and/or
OS X in depth can weigh in?

Still too pricey but at least the gates have been opened for the technology and market mindshare for these devices. :) ciao! -- -- "Programming, an artform that fights back" Anuerin G.

Re: Code Review

Hi,

These jamming devices only works for wireless protocols (eg. GSM GPRS). Comelec have the option to use
kawasaki protocol to transport signed data to the next level :->

according to comelec, there is a backup plan in case transmission thru
cell carriers is not possible (jammed signals including). but they
will not divulge what this backup plan is.

maybe, these jamming operators want to lure comelec into going to the
backup plan so that necessary dagdag-bawas can happen in the backup
plan.
