But the4 thing you are trying to play is not a stream, it is a file. You cannot change the nature of the thing on the ftp server as it is whatever it is. To turn it into a stream, you will have to log into the ftp server and do whatever is necessary there to do that. mplayer is not able to make such changes for very obvious reasons.

Chuanwen Wu wrote: You have to download it as it has to be in RAM before mplayer can use it. And you have to download the whole thing as it's a container file, not a stream. So, you mean mplayer can NOT play stream? As far as I know, mplayer can play file on a web(html) site. In "man mplayer", I can see that : Stream from HTTP: mplayer http://mplayer.hq/example.avi Stream using RTSP: mplayer rtsp://server.example.com/streamName So, I think there may be some ways to play mplayer from the ftp(or other protocol). Somebody work it out and suggested me to do it like this: wget ftp://THE_FTPSERVER/1.RM -O - | mplayer -cache 8192 - But I just failed every time I tried to do it in this way. Can you do it successfully? Does the wget itself work, eg. does wget ftp://ftpserver/file.ext download your file? If not, you may need to add some quoting... For instance, the [ character should be quoted twice, once for the local shell and once for the remote server (at least that was the case on a quick test I did), so downloading a file called "[.ext" would become wget 'ftp://ftpserver/\[.ext' or wget 'ftp://ftpserver/\[.ext' -O - | mplayer -cache 8192 - Regards Michael -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Ha! I was blaming MSWindows for causing the PC to hang whenever I was trying to connect to the office file server (through a VPN session). My reasoning went that I shouldn't lose the whole machine for 10 minutes, while waiting for an error that it couldn't authenticate me on the domain controller. I blamed the OS for being stupid of course (not withstanding the outsourced tech support who can't fix it). In the sense that neither Linux, nor Gentoo constitutes a stupid OS, I think this is a bug. Fine for the application/terminal to crash, but not the whole machine. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Given the fact that other tools don't serve your purpose, I'd say you give
ettercap a try. It's a
sniffer that can do ARP Poisoning ("sniffing in switched lans"). Of course,
this is not a tool you'd
like to keep running all the time, given how troublesome ARP Poisoning can be.
You might get something useful enough.

[gentoo-user] Ghosting a Ext3 partition
I am having a major problem right now with my laptop. I regularly make backups of my system using Norton Ghost 2003 to DVD. However, my laptop crashed and I tried to restore my backup that I had made and it restores just find but when I try and boot it tells me that my Ext3 filesystem is corrupt and had errors and I would have to run fsck manually. When I ran fsck it told be that about every inode was invalid and that Group X had all sorts of other problems (I can't remember every little detail). Doesn't Ghost work with Ext3? What can I do to recover my system without reinstalling from scratch? Thanks! Jon -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Suspend/Hibernate on Dell Inspiron 6000
Hey, I actually had the same problem as the original poster. I have the Dell Inspiron 6000 as well. I had the ati 8.40.4 driver and I recently upgraded my kernel from linux-2.6.21-suspend2-r7 to various versions of linux-2.6.23-tuxonice sources just to try to get it to suspend to ram properly. Suspend to ram would suspend, but would fail to resume within Gnome. There seems to be a problem with the ati 8.40.4 drivers with the newest linux-2.6.23 and .24 tuxonice-sources, because I have tried almost every single combination to try to get suspend to ram working correctly. What I did to solve this was to emerge the newest ati-drivers, which as of today is 8.455.2-r1. I also installed radeontool and vbetool. I made the changes in my common.conf and also in my ram.conf in /etc/hibernate to enable vbetool and radeontool. If you need these files, I'll gladly post them up. With the linux-2.6.21-suspend2-r7 kernel, I did not have to use any of those tools to help me resume but with the linux-2.6.23-tuxonice-sources I did. I'm currently running linux-2.6.23-tuxonice-r10.

I do only minor backups... but even for anything major I would use a tool like tar or rsync and drop the filesystem metadata entirely. Also directly reading from the block device is hazardous unless you umount (or mount as readonly) the filesystem in question. This is because, the filesystem may not keep all the data synced to the disk at all points in time. Actually, even the tar/rsync method may lead to inconsistent files if the files are backed up while they are still in active use. However, this is potentially less damaging than having invalid filesystem metadata backed up because the filesystem was not in sync. If you *have to* backup an always active system, I would first create a snapshot and then back up the snapshot. That ofcourse requires a more involved disk setup using LVM. _r
