Re: [Freevo-users] Issues with latest Ubuntu 7.10 Packages
I also use Ubuntu Gutsy 64 bit version and I have Freevo 1.75 installed from source. I have never had luck getting Freevo to work from the "Ubuntu" repository run by Geole, so I would suggest using Synaptic to get rid of what you have installed now and download and install the same version from Freevo's website , using the the source code tarballs for Freevo and the 3 Kaa support modules.They're really easy to install. Just remember it's all Python code, so when you install, cd to your home directory and then "python setup.py install", instead of the more common ./configure,make, make install.This applies to Freevo and the Kaa modules.Then configure Freevo as you would have normally. - Original Message From: Andrew Berry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008 12:41:34 AMhii Subject: [Freevo-users] Issues with latest Ubuntu 7.10 Packages Hi, A few issues with upgrading to the 1.8.0rc2 release that's within the ubuntu repository.

I think that some of those menus have labels that you can call from what
I remember of the MENU_GOTO_TV etc. shortcuts. It would be a very nice
feature if someone wanted to add it.

This is expected behavior. When freevo starts a game it hands off event controls to that game, so even though lirc is still send events for freevo, freevo is not in control of the game. Toways to handle this: 1) if a game understands lirc inputs, map a set of buttons for the game in the lircd.conf. The second is to run an lirc event handler irexec to generate an escape key.

You can not rempa a button to the escape key, bu you can tell irexec to generate one using xmacro Make sure the irexec daemon is running, then add the following to your lircd.conf: begin button = menu prog = irexec config = xmacroplay-keys :0.0 Escape end You can change the button to what ever button you want.

I have not seen any suggested work arounds. Hmm, I've seen this. Do you have an AMD64 processor? If so Try a 'file /usr/lib/libGL*'. I can't quite remember how I fixed this but it was something along the lines of moving the /usr/lib/libGL.so* files out of the way and then soft-linking the /usr/lib64/libGL.so* files to /usr/lib.

IIRC it is the directory where screen shots of a game is saved. I'm not sure how one is generated Duncan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Freevo-users] troubles to run Freevo on Ubuntu 7.10
Hi, I am currently on a school projet. We have to create a media centre solution including TV, Internet browser, IP phone... So I have chosen to install Freevo on Ubuntu (I have to say that I am a beginner in linux distribution !) I finally achieved to install Frevvo but now I just can't run. When I click on the freevo icon nothing happen. It would be very kind of you, if you could help me to solve this problem.

[Freevo-users] Problems compiling xine-libs (libGL.so)
I posted this the the xine-users list, but have not heard a response yet. Has anyone on this list encountered this problem? I am trying to compile xine-lib-1.1.10.1 on my FC8 box. When I compile, I get the following error: /usr/lib/libGL.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong format Looking at other posts, it appears to be related to the fact that I have an nvidia card and driver. I have not seen any suggested work arounds. Any suggestions? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Freevo-users] Joystick woes
I am trying to use a joystick with Freevo. I have also set up a number of games. I use the joystick for these games as well. Everything "works ok", except that sometimes when I quit a game, Freevo has queued a number of my joystick actions and executes them all at once, usually causing another game to open. Does anyone know of a work-around for this, or where these events are queuing in the code? Thanks! - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Freevo-users] IMAGE_PATH for GAMES
Does anyone know what this does? Is this images for the emulator or the roms? Would anyone know where I could find/make such images or have an example?
