You can use mplayer -vo help to get a list of all video outputs. If you use a GUI frontend for mplayer, there should be a Video Output option somewhere in preferences.

Some of us wants to watch youtube and other flash sites). Just FTR (although you probably know this), Flash isn't required for YouTube; you can grab the videos with youtube-dl / clive, and play them with your favorite video player. There are many advantages to this method, including: With YouTube in particular, I find HTML5 and Gnash work very well on my free systems. YMMV. 1) Better playback controls (as per a recent thread here) I've found that those helper apps (like the DownloadThemAll firefox extension) do not always work with all of the flash video sites out there. I dunno exactly why though my guess is that they fail when javascript comes into play. And don't forget that videos are only a litte part of the flash based sites, there games and online applications that depend on flash. I think it's sites that require flash for navigation that are an even more serious issue. 3) Flash is evil ;) Let me be a bit more picky here. Flash is evil because Adobe made it so. Adobe's Flash Player, completely open, properly done, developed and programmed could have its use. So, Flash is evil because it's not open source, and has been allowed to become a standard of sorts.

I highly doubt this will work, I suspect Plymouth and Upstart will give you serious headaches.

I would recommend trying the process on a virtual machine and see what happens there first (something I plan to try when I get some time). Ubuntu regularly has issues upgrading from one version to another, now you expect it to upgrade to a new distro... This idea doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

Re: 64 bit debian, 32 bit app and libaio.so.1 dependency
On 11-04-07 04:10 PM, Bob McGowan wrote: Hi, all, I have a Perl based application tool set that uses DBD::Oracle libraries from the Oracle 11 instant client package. The DBD was compiled in a 32 bit environment. Now there's a user who wants to run it on a 64 bit system, which at least requires the installation of the 'ia32-libs' package. However, 'ia32-libs' does not include a 32 bit version of libaio.so.1, which is required by the Oracle 11 libraries. I could supply a 32 bit copy of it with the Oracle 11 libraries, but it seems to me there should be a better solution, based on standard package management tools. There was some discussion for improving 32 bit library support in 64 bit architectures in June 2010 and thereabout (David Kalnischkies is perhaps lead developer?), but based on what I found, this may still be a future feature. Mention was made of an 'ia32-apt-get', but that is not available on the 64 bit Debian system (fyi, it's 6.0.1, in case that's relevant). So, is there a way currently to get a 32 bit library installed in a 64 bit environment using apt-get or aptitude, outside of the basic 32 bit support package? Thanks, I have had good personal success using the getlibs script to install 32bit libraries on 64bit systems (mainly for gaming purposes in my case), it utilises apt tools but is certainly a hack.
