bookworm display power management issue
Since upgrading to bookworm I'm having a display power management issue. I am using XFCE. Setting the display power management slider to blank after 5 minutes does indeed blank the display. However, every 30 seconds or so the monitor comes back on, then simply displays no signal and goes back off again. This repeats every 30 seconds or so. I am getting the same behaviour in MATE as well, so it's not unique to XFCE. The machine in question is an HP Elitedesk 800 G3 with intel graphics. It did not have this issue on debian 11. Looking for ideas on how to diagnose and fix. thanks, Scott

Radeon graphics work with 4.19.0-8 but not 4.19.0-9
I installed a Radeon WX 3100 a few days ago on my buster system. It failed to bring up the X server. I installed the proprietary drivers from AMD's site, but still no dice. Just for fun I tried to boot the previous kernel 4.19.0-8 and the system worked fine. I have install the amd-graphics-firmware from buster backports version 20190717-2. Also installed xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu version 18.1.99+git20190207-1. I have reconfigured the kernel and ran update-initramfs. Also purged the amdgpu xorg driver and reinstalled.

powerline ethernet
Anyone using a powerline ethernet with debian? I've got some difficult to wire locations so I thought I'd investigate my options. I've tried wireless and it's a bit spotty so I'm hoping that some debian folks have some good experiences with powerline. I've seen them from Dlink, Linksys etc. and from about 14Mbs to 200Mbs. If I can get about 50Mbs reliably I'd be happy. Any thoughts on security for these things? thanks, scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

buying TV card

Re: help exporting files from guest to host in QEMU....
Michael Fothergill wrote: Dear Debianists, I have a few questions about QEMU. I posted a query a while back about loading cdrom image files into Windows 98 (guest) running under QEMU with Debian Etch r1 (AMD64) as the underlying OS. I followed the helpful recipes and I loaded some software on to Windows 98 and was happy with the result. Thanks for the help. There is one thing that I am not so sure about however. How are you supposed to export files out of the Windows 98 guest environment in to the Linux file tree? If you were to copy the file to a “cdrom” in the guest environment would that end up producing an iso file in the Linux environment? Or is there a simpler method to get files out of the guest environment to the host one? There are ways to write files from the guest environment to the Linux disk but there is a warning about data corruption if you aren't careful. I am looking for a relatively safe and simple way to get files created with software in the guest environment into the host area. Comments and suggestions welcome. Regards Michael Fothergill _ Feel like a local wherever you go. http://www.backofmyhand.com Not sure exactly how QEMU works - haven't had time, but under a VMware - XP setup I just ran samba on debian, shared a path and went over to windows to use the share under network neighborhood.

I can understand that since sometimes the 2070N at my home takes quite a while to print a page with graphics in it (it has 16MB RAM). HL-5250DN comes with 32MB. How does that sound? It also has an empty slot to accommodate 64MB, 128MB, 256MB or 512MB (144-pin DIMM). The way I look at it is this: Ghostscript sends the printer a graphic, bitmapped with PCL 6. So, a whole page at 600x600 dpi x 8.5 x 11 = 3366 bits 3366 b / 8 b/B = 4207500 B / 1024 = 4108 KB / 1024 = 4 MB So thats 4 MB per page for the image data itself, 8 MB to hold two sides, plus whatever for control info (PCL wrapping). If it has 16 MB, it can be printing two sides while it receives the data for the next two pages. If you were to be using the built-in font system whereby you sent it plain text and it translated it into your selection of fonts that you donwload to it, that would take up a whole slew of memory. Ditto if you used built-in forms. Neither of which applies if you're just using ghostscript. Doug. I think the HL-5250DN does have postscript built in.

Re: digital album making choices and photo management
H.S. wrote: Hello, Could some users share their photo management experiences in Debian here? I have this little project at hand. The objective is to make a digital album of family pictures to be given to family members on a CD. I am thinking on the lines that the CD should have self contained digital album. The photos should be accessible directly and easily as well as through some sort of cross platform photo browser run directly from the CD. So the pictures may put in one top level (or second level) folder, perhaps called Pictures. A user can directly access the images there to view using their own software. Additionally, there could be a digital browser wrapper that access those pictures through an interface so that the user may browse the pictures without firing up their own application. One option is to export the album to an HTML format. Digikam has such an option, I am playing around it a bit. G-photo (Gnome) also has similar functionality albeit a very very limited one. Another option is to have a java based photo browser on the CD but haven't found a Debian package that does this. The second option assumes, obviously, that the user has java already installed. What have other users here experienced? Any comments on the above approaches? Any other alternatives worth investigating? thanks, -HS I have been using kphotoalbum for quite some time. It has an excellent database for tagging photos. The plugins allow you to export in various ways. You can export to cd, create a slidewhow, export to flickr, export to html for buiding web pages etc. I was the official photographer for my kids field trips and burned a cd for the teacher as well as posting the photos on a web site. The teacher would load the photos in a powerpoint presentation for use later. All in all it worked very well. I've got about 6000 pictures in my database now and its very easy to find them - as long as I've tagged them appropriately.

I think i've done this with mpeg4 videos from my still/motion camera. I've used mencoder successfully from time to time to take a few videos from the camera (my Kodak EasyShare C310, does video, but no audio recording) to convert those files (which come up in .mov format) to mp4, with about a 25% space savings on average, but then I can't edit them with kino. kino expects quicktime format, which I thought that the .mov file was already. I thought kino wanted dv format. Generally the type that is captured directly from mini-dv cameras. Although I have not tried any other formats with it. I wasn't aware that ffmpeg would do the conversion to digital video, and so I tried it on the sample files that I have, and find this to not be successful. For instance: I converted some videos from a casio Z600 that produces MPEG4 and got them on dvd. I'm sure I used the ffmpeg -target ntsc-dv to convert the files for kino, but now when I try it on a casio S600... it fails. I'm not sure what the difference would be. Unfortunately I do not have the z600 files anymore to see. I was successfull converting the files from the casio s600 to mpeg format using the script found here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/10/msg01361.html this uses transcode to do the encoding and seemed to work well. At least the audio was present and appeared to be in sync.

I would go ahead and give the transcode script a try. It worked for me first try. I think it uses mplayer to get the information to encode and since mplayer can play just about anything it should work. Don't know why the audio is not found. Will the camera file play in mplayer? Try to play the mpeg file after running the script. If that looks good then insert the file into kino. Kino will ask to convert it and that conversion should work fine. then: Stream #0.0: Video: dvvideo, yuv420p, 800x600, q=2-31, 200 kb/s, 25.00 fps(c) Stream mapping: Stream #0.0 - #0.0 [dv @ 0xb7ee6230]Can't initialize DV format! Make sure that you supply exactly two streams: video: 25fps or 29.97fps, audio: 2ch/48Khz/PCM (50Mbps allows an optional second audio stream) Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?) Seems that it expects an audio track, but it's not letting me know how to not provide one. Tests on a sample taken from the camera (without any prior conversion) show that I can convert the file to a dv format with: ffmpeg -i camerafile -target ntsc-dv test.dv (The ntsc portion is not even mentioned in the manual page that I can see.) But kino tells me that this is not a digital video file, and the (default) file size is ridiculously large -- 170 megabytes for a 30 second video clip. Oddly enough, adding 'maxrate' does not affect the size of the encoded video. The ntsc/pal stuff is mentioned under the -target section. I think those two options apply to most of the formats. Yes, dv format files are extremely large, about 13GB for one hour of video. I've added disk space several times once I started doing video. 170mb for 30seconds sounds about right without using a calculator. hope that helps.
