Problems rebuilding ffmpeg to include libfaac
Got an iphone for Christmas. I want to be able to stream videos to it
from my MythTV setup. Looking through the MythTV wiki, step one is to
get ffmpeg to transcode videos to a format that the iphone can use. I
tried the ffmpeg that came from rpmfusion for my Fedora 11 installation.
It lacks libfaac support.
To try to fix this and preserve all the yum dependencies, I decided I
should download and build the source rpm. (Is this the best approach?) I
downloaded and installed ffmpeg-0.5-3.fc11.src.rpm, which matched the
version from 'rpm -qa | grep ffmpeg' on my system. Looking in the
ffmpeg.spec file, I found these lines:
%{?_with_faac:BuildRequires: faac-devel}
%{?_with_faac:--enable-libfaac --enable-nonfree} \\\
whineI also found this comment in the changelog:
- Don't build faac by default because it's nonfree. (kwizart)
I thought the purpose of rpmfusion was to provide the software that Red
Hat and Fedora did not want to ship but people wanted on their
computers. So why not include the software for something as popular as
ipods and iphones?/whine
I uncommented those two lines and ran 'rpmbuild -ba ffmpeg.spec'. The
first time, it failed with a list of devel packages I needed. I
installed those with yum. Then it ran for a long time and then errorred
out at the end with these statements:
Requires(rpmlib): rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) = 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) = 4.6.0-1 rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) = 4.0-1

This is what does exist in those directories:

# ls /root/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/ffmpeg-0.5-3.fc11.i386/usr/lib/i686/
vhook
So my question is this. What don't I know that is required to run
rpmbuild on the ffmpeg src rpm? What do I need to install or do to make
this work?
Thanks!

Went back and looked at the ffmpeg.spec file. I realized that when I
uncommented the --enable-libfaac line, I also removed the triple back
slashes for the line continuation. I put those back and reran rpmbuild.
It worked this time. Sorry for wasting the bandwidth :).

Re: Problem with F11 and Broadcom b43 wireless
I never got a reply to this query. I tried everything I could think of with Network Manager to get it to work with no success. I finally reverted to Fedora 10. I installed the exact same drivers in F10 that I tried in F11 with b43-fwcutter. The wireless has never disconnected itself in F10. So I guess I'll forgo F11 on my laptop and hope that F12 works better.

Audacity, F9, and sound systems
I want to start ripping my LP's, so I installed audacity on my Fedora 9 box that I already use for MythTV. When I fire up audacity, it offers a number of choices for the input sound and playback sound. Most of those choices seem to revolve around ALSA. The only ones that seem to work are OSS. OK, I'll use what works. However, once I have run audacity once and exited, the next time I get into it, there are only ALSA choices available for playback. OSS is no longer available in the drop down and none of the ALSA choices give me sound. Anyone have any idea of what is going on here? From what I have read, I thought OSS was being deprecated in favour of ALSA. And then I thought the new pulse audio system in F9 and F10 was supposed to supplant ALSA. I am guessing I lack a basic understanding of how the audio systems work on Fedora 9 and how to configure and control them. Can someone explain this, or even better, point to a document that does.

OT: High pitch buzz when recording
I am trying to record on my Fedora 9 box with audacity. When I do, the recording includes a high pitched buzz on the right track. I have unplugged everything from the sound ports, and still get the buzz. I can see the right channel has a higher level on the input meter when recording. This is an six channel on-board nVidia audio on an ASUS motherboard. Anyone have any idea what causes it? Am I likely to be able to fix it? Thanks!

Default route not set on bootup
I posted this problem a couple of weeks ago. I did not get a solution,
so I'm trying again.
I installed Fedora 10 on my E machines laptop. Got the Broadcom wireless
network working. For the first time, I am letting Network Manager manage
the network. In Network Manager, I disabled the wired network and
enabled the wireless network.
The problem: on bootup, the default route is not set. I confirm this
with the 'netstat -nr' command.
Here's the ground I've covered.
- The is not the bug where Network Manager sets the Netmask to the
gateway IP address. I noticed that and corrected it during the initial
installation. I can't say the issue isn't related, but I caught that error.
- I have the GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 directive set in both the
/etc/sysconfig/network file and the ifcfg-wlan0 file.
- If I reset the interface ('ifdown wlan0', 'ifup wlan0') or reset the
network ('service network restart'), the default route gets set.
Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong?
Thanks!
Andrew Robinson

Any other ideas? netmask should not be in /etc/sysconfig/network you can however put GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 there Just out of curiousity, are you sure that the gateway address isn't registered on startup? route -n # doesn't show the default gateway address at startup? if so, does running the commands... ifdown wlan0 ifup wlan0 make the gateway address appear in 'route -n' after running those commands? Interesting. The default route does appear after an ifdown - ifup. I've been using 'netstat -nr' to determine its existence. So that begs the question of why it is not set at boot time. Any thoughts?

Way OT: DIY printer repair
The paper grabber on my Samsung ML-1710 laser printer has stopped grabbing paper. The printer errors out on just about every sheet. I certainly have gotten my money's worth out of this printer, but if I could fix it, that would be very cool. Anyone know of any links or sites that would direct me in determining if the printer is fixable and how to do so? Thanks!

After installing F10, when I power up my laptop, the default route does not get set. I have a GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 statement in both the ifcfg-wlan0 file and the /etc/sysconfig/network file. 'netstat -nr' shows no gateway until I run 'route add default gw 192.168.1.1'. This is the first time that I put my network setup under the control of Network Manager. I don't know if that has anything to do with this. I know I could code the default route in rc.local or something like that, but I would rather have it work correctly. Any ideas? Thanks!

Correct way to get lirc module to load in F9?
I am running mythtv on my Fedora 9 workstation. What is the correct way to get the lirc module to load at boot on Fedora 9? I know I could shove a 'modprobe lirc-i2c' into the rc.local.

Re: Linksys WRT54G2
Rich Emberson wrote: I run Fedora 9 (only, no windows or macs). I recently was given a Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G broadband router with its installation CD (which according to the terse instructions has a windows and mac modes - of course no Linux). I want to use this as simply a wireless access point to my existing LAN. I already have a router and DSL internet connection. The wireless router is self-contained. You do not need any software to work with it. The software on the CD gives Windows (and maybe Macs) utilities to measure wireless signal strength and stuff like that. The router is configured by its internal web server. Others have noted that you access that at 192.168.1.1, no userid, and a password of admin. That is if the subnet and password weren't changed by the previous owner. Others suggested ways around this. I do recommend using a wired connection to the router to configure it. The one issue I think you will run into is that with the Linksys software, the WRT54G2 will want to act as a router. It will perform its own NAT. You can cable it to the existing router, but then any wireless connections will be on a different network segment than your wired boxes. The two solutions I see are 1. replace the existing router with the WRT54G2, or 2. install alternate firmware that gives more functionality, like simply providing a wireless access point on an existing network segment. The two most popular replacement firmwares are dd-WRT and OpenWRT. One or both have versions intended to fit on a smaller memory router. I have installed one or the other on a WRT54GS. I don't have any experience with a WRT54G2. You could look at both websites and see what they say about your model. Hope this helps.

OT: pci express 1x card in a 16x slot
Anyone know if a PCI Express 1x card would work in a PCI Express 16x slot? Why would I want to put a PCI Express 1x card in a 16x slot?, someone is bound to ask. Because there is a capacitor on the motherboard just in front of the PCI-E 1x slot. The Hauppauge PVR 1250 card I want to put there has a jack at the very bottom of the card. The card will not fit all the way down in the slot. Actually I think all the contacts are made; I cannot see any of the gold from the card's contacts in the slot. However, the top of the card's faceplate will not reach the chassis to allow me to screw it in. With the power off, I found that the 1x card will fit in the 16x slot. I just don't know if it will work there. Anyone know? Thanks! Andrew Robinson -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
