Bug#672972: Wheezy: VLC player can't play videos

2012-12-05 Thread Mark Hobley
FWIW: I noticed a similar problem on a third party Hewlett Packard machine 
using an Intel based graphics chipset. Again other video players work fine on 
the same machine.


Bug#672972: Wheezy: VLC player can't play videos

2012-12-02 Thread Mark Hobley
I am having a similar problem here using Debian (Sid/Unstable) using an ATI 
Radeon 9000 on a 32 bit IBM compatible computer.

The VLC player shows the first frame and does not proceed any further. On the 
same machine mplayer2 works just fine and plays the same video.

There must be something different in the way that the vlc player and mplayer2 
handle the video. Maybe it would be useful if vlc could be configured to use 
the mplayer2 video handling code.

Hi Cyril. I am running on the current version of the package, and the keyboard 
appears to be working ok for me, so I guess that this is fixed.

If noone else claims a problem, then I suggest we close this bug as fixed. (If 
a problem reoccurs, then we can always reopen it).

Cheers,

Mark.

I am not sure. I pinned this package down to prevent upgrade. I'll knock the 
pin out and try some tests over the next couple of weeks.

I have just installed fimware-linux-nonfree and restarted the X server. This 
makes no difference:

xvinfo
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
 no adaptors present

Right, I have now restarted the system. Unfortunately, I am not able to test, 
because the system system is now out of ptys, and I am unable to get a terminal 
window at this time. (Something odd is going on with Lenny).

Bug#514846: UK AT keyboard does not work on IBM compatible computers

2009-02-11 Thread Mark Hobley
Package: xkb-data
Severity: important

The xkb-data package renders the keyboard inoperable from with an X 
windows session. The keyboard behaves fine from the console outside of 
X.

When X is running, if a letter is typed into the x terminal window, the 
letter appears in the terminal, but the scroll lock light comes on. When 
another letter is typed, the scroll lock light goes out, and either the 
previous letter typed is deleted, or the key behaves as an enter key, 
entering the previously typed single letter as a shell command in the x 
terminal window. If a letter key is pressed again, the cycle repeats, 
with the
scroll lock lighting up again, and a single letter appearing, followed 
by the scroll lock going out, and again a deletion or false enter.

This problem was observed on an IBM compatible PC, using a traditional 
101 key United Kingdom AT keyboard connected to the keyboard input 
connector on the back of the computer (In this case via an AT to PS/2 
adapter cable).

The keyboard works fine from Debian Etch, and works ok from the console 
in Debian Lenny (apart from an insert key bug, which occasionally 
requires the insert key to be pressed in order to operate the cursor 
keys from the shell command line.)
