[gentoo-user] Adjusting brightness on videos. kmplayer in particular.
Hi, I downloaded CSI and a NCIS video a while ago. I'm trying to watch it but it is really dark. I am using kmplayer with mplayer for the backend. I found where it says you can adjust brightness and contrast but they don't do anything. The screen looks fine outside of watching a show.

[gentoo-user] Bash Script that wraps Mplayer/Mencoder.
I have a script currently called rip that rips DVDs to H.264 using x264 with mencoder. It always does 2 passes and runs 2 threads(uses two cores). It has many lines but I'm sure if we work together we can shorten the number of lines and add more functionality. Uhm...for now, it does what it is supposed to do. It could use a little bit more functionality but it is user friendly once you have the right tools installed. It uses mplayers crop-detection feature to crop black bands out of the video. It requires libdvdread, lsdvd, mencoder/mplayer with x264, sed and of course bash. Here is the syntax below: ./rip.s dvd_device bitrate movie_name audio_id title Examples: ./rip.sh /dev/sr0 1200 Movie_Name 128 1 This will rip title 1 from device /dev/sr0 and place the video files into MovieName directory. The resulting file will be Movie_Name.avi. or if you have a range of titles to rip you can also specify this like so: ./rip.sh /dev/sr0 1200 Movie_Name 128 1-3 or if you don't know which title... It'll choose the longest title for you with the trailing option below. Just change the title field to auto ./rip.sh /dev/sr0 1200 Movie_Name 128 auto If you're not sure what the options are just run the script without any options. It will tell you if you can't remember or are not sure. I created the script because Acidrip ceased to work after a while. It no longer does what it used to do. Maybe it'll work on older distributions. In summary, Acidrip has not been updated to use the latest libraries. My script has much less of the functionality that Acidrip once had but it gets the job done. If anyone is interested please let me know and I will most definitely post it here. I look forward to porting this to python one day and calling it Acidripy using pygtk. Thank you for reading. I look forward to hearing from you guys.

That's why I never set up a linux system without mc. It's just so much easier when you can look inside an archive and manipulate files just as if it were part of the file system. :) Anyway, the archive has a directory inside it (linux-2.6.29). That's where all the files are. So it would be /linux-2.6.29/Makefile. Be lucky, Neil http://www.neiljw.com

Jonathan Callen (ABCD abcd at gentoo.org writes: Rather than rebuilding kalgebra, unmerge it completely then emerge it again. It might be a problem with the emerge process for that package not using the latest version for some reason, so it is rebuilding against the old libs (which therefore remain preserved). Also, try removing /lib64/libreadline.so (not .so.5 or .so.5.2 !) first, so that kalgebra is forced to link against /usr/lib64/libreadline.so (which ends up pointing at /lib64/libreadline.so.6). My guess is that for some reason the linker is looking in /lib64 before checking /usr/lib64, and finding the wrong file first. OK, I'm in the process of trying all that has been suggested, along with syncing and rebuilding anything that complains. I'll post an update on the process, once I have exhausted all these ideas.. thx James

Changing the hue doesn't work here anymore for some reason, though. Cheers, Renat I didn't check the hue but the others worked like they should. I'll try those in a bit. I have to make a grocery run for a friend. Dale :-) :-)

Re: [gentoo-user] can't linux#make menuconfig -- Makefile goneFOUND
That's why I never set up a linux system without mc. It's just so much easier when you can look inside an archive and manipulate files just as if it were part of the file system. :) I remember Midnight Commander from the old days but forgot how useful it could be. Anyway, the archive has a directory inside it (linux-2.6.29). That's where all the files are. So it would be /linux-2.6.29/Makefile. No leading '/', actually mw

[gentoo-user] re-extracting linux sources
Hi group, After my last -uvDN world and subsequent revdep-rebuild and emerge --depclean I found the main Makefile under /usr/src/linux was missing. I managed to extract it from the sources and copy it over only to find that, naturally, many other files were missing too. I gave up after the third extraction/copy pass. Which leads to the following: 1) What is the approved method of re-populating that all-important directory, just untar the sources back in or ? 2)How can I prevent this from happening again? The gentoo docs just say, after the dust settles, to do a revdep followed by depclean. Is that what did the deed? This was my first world upgrade and I sure don't want to go through this again, if I can prevent it. Maxim

Yes, the package that will tell you is emerge itself. Use its -t option to get a dep-graph of why something is getting emerged. Also, you can use its -v option if you want to see if the package comes from some overlay. Furthermore, *after* emerge -C oldPackageNoLongerNeeded, do: grep oldPackageNoLongerNeeded /var/lib/portage/world to see if it's still listed in the world file. If yes, remove all traces of it (you can simply edit this world file with a text editor, it's safe, but of course you might still want to make a backup of it.)

So after that rambling intro, is there a package/utility that will tell me, when in this situation, what package needs oldPackageNoLongerNeeded and why it is being brought into my emerge. Thanks for any help, Andrew p.s. Tried Google on this and just couldn't seem to get the right keywords o find anything. Check into the -t option. That should tell you what pulls it in even tho it is not installed. Just add the -t to the option you already have. Dale :-) :-)

Make sure ATI's OpenGL library is used instead of X.Org's: eselect opengl set ati Also make sure that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains this: Section DRI Mode 0666 EndSection Finally, make sure to rebuild all X drivers since you updated xorg-server. This should be a rather quick compilation; the drivers are small: emerge -a1 `qlist -IC x11-drivers/` You need app-portage/portage-utils installed for qlist though. Restart X. For what it's worth, I just installed bzflag here. I'm on AMD64, a Radeon HD4870, ati-drivers-9.10 (renamed ebuild of ati-drivers-8.660, which is a beta release of 9.10 released by Ubuntu, therefore the weird version and mask in portage), gentoo-sources-2.6.31.

I'm trying to watch it but it is really dark. I am using kmplayer with mplayer for the backend. I found where it says you can adjust brightness and contrast but they don't do anything. The screen looks fine outside of watching a show. Here is some emerge info just in case I missed a USE flag or something: Have you tried changing the gamma? I tried changing all the things in the menu that pops up. None of them do anything at all. They move and they are not grayed out or anything, they just don't work. It reminds me of adjusting the volume when it is muted. Ideas? Try other output drivers. Run mplayer -vo help to see what drivers are supported. I've just tried it with xv (default) and it didn't work. x11 driver works, but the brightness of the whole X changes. Using gl and gl2 output everything works as expected. Cheers, Renat You da man !! I first checked out the command you gave and I have a lot of options listed. After reading the man page, should I mention that thing is HUGE, I then opened kmplayer and checked out the options there. I selected the OpenGL driver and it now works. It goes from completely black to blindingly white. You can adjust contrast, hue, and saturation as well. Changing the hue doesn't work here anymore for some reason, though. Cheers, Renat I didn't check the hue but the others worked like they should. I'll try those in a bit. I have to make a grocery run for a friend. Dale :-) :-) Same here. The others work but not the hue part. Not sure what it does but I couldn't see any difference when I changed it. Isn't that like a red/green balance thing? Dale :-) :-)

Not sure if this message is related to your CPU frequency stepping (I'm getting similar ACPI messages when the fan kicks in: ACPI event unhandled: thermal_zone TZ1 0081 ) If you delve into your ACPI configuration files you can define an action on your message.
