[gentoo-user] Embedded Systems

2003-10-17 Thread Monah Baki
Hi all,

This is of topic, but I'm trying to find a embedded system with a video adapter 
(matrox or ati 
7500 or above) to support gentoo 1.4 dedicated for streaming video. I installed Gentoo 
1.4 on 
my 500 mhz via computer with generic trident card, customer was completely 
dissatisfied when 
viewing trailers or using codeweavers quicktime.  So if anyone has a URL I would 
really 
appreciate it.


Thank you

[gentoo-user] sshd on startup

2003-10-16 Thread Monah Baki
Hi all,

How can I start sshd on startup, I read somewhere you need to create a link in a 
directory to 
sshd, but I forgot where.


Thank you

Re: [gentoo-user] Dual boot question

2003-10-12 Thread Monah Baki
So hopefully if I were to add to my grub.conf the following:

 root (hd2,1) 
 kernel (hd2,1)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hda4 
 initrd (hd2,1)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 

I should get the (freebsd & linux) label and be able to boot either, or do I need to 
also add in 
grub.conf a section for freebsd

My dmesg shows the following:

VP_IDE: IDE Controller at PCI Slot 00:11.1
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
VP_IDE: VIA vt8231 (rev 10) IDE UDMA100 controller on pci100:11.1

Could not find anywhere in my dmesg anything related to hda besides what was given

The machine has no floppy drive.

Thanks.

Now my disk layout is:

hdc1 Freebsd
hdc2 Linux (boot)
hdc3 Linux (swap)
hdc4 Linux (root)

I'm planning on using grub

If my grub.conf was:

title=genkernel
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/hdc4
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r7

title=freebsd
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/loader

I should have no problems, correct??

Thanks

[gentoo-user] Dual boot question

2003-10-10 Thread Monah Baki
Hi all,

I'm trying to dual boot gentoo with freebsd, I installed freebsd first, then as I was 
partioning my 
HDD, I noticed gentoo's device boot was labeled (/dev/hdc2p1, hdc2p2 and hdc2p3) 
Freebsd 
was hdc1. I wanted to enable ext3 on hdc2p1 but the system responded with 
"The device apparently does not exist", and I checked /dev which was true. 

Any suggestions??

Thanks all for helping,

As of now, if I save my .mov file to my harddrive, and used gmplyer I can watch the 
movie, but I 
noticed a little lag. However if I use mplayer, or the web (quicktime.apple.com) for 
the trailer, I 
get the greenish background. Also, after running the movie twice in a row, mplayer 
crashed on 
me.

Mplayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_video
- Mplayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM
recompile mplayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and disassembly.
- Mplayer crashed. It can be a bug in the Mplayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in 
your gcc 
version.

I ran it a second time, same error message.

I have 256MB ram, 500Mhz and a VIA PLE133 (trident blade 3d) I couldn't find via in my 
xf86config card database section.

Any suggestions

I'm using mplayer-0.91 and mplayerplug-in-0.80, thanks to Collins for pointing that 
out.

Thank you

[gentoo-user] mplayer newbie

2003-09-27 Thread Monah Baki
Been trying to emerge mplayer-1.0 and emerge mplayerplug-in-0.91 from ports, so that I 
can 
watch apple's quicktime trailers. Nothing happens, I get a greenish screen. Am I 
missing 
anything else.
I'm running mozilla 1.4 and gnome.


Thank you

[gentoo-user] mplayer help

2003-09-27 Thread Monah Baki
Hi all,

I'm running gnome & Mozilla 1.4, I emerge mplayer and openquicktime to watch a trailer 
from 
quicktime.apple.com, once I click on the the trailer, I see mplayer plugin loading, 
then the 
dialog box turns green, and nothing shows up.

What am I missing???

Thank you

Hi all,

I just installed my first gentoo server and I'm quite impressed, although I had to 
struggle a bit 
with my video card. I followed the instructions on the website and the machine boots 
up fine.
However I noticed on my left side of the monitor there's a vertical line all the way 
from top to 
bottom and it looks like its flickering so fast, I don't know what to make of it. I 
never saw it 
during the install, and I chose hotplug since I'm new here. 

My PC is a VIA EPIA (www.solarpc.com). 

Here's my dmesg, thank you.
