DVD for Linux - audio problem
Hi. I got the Plextor Combo CDRW/DVD player. I can burn cds in linux and use that fine. I installed MPlayer and compiled my kernel to enable dma. I then figured out how to use hdparm to enable the dma on hdc and still have the thing set to scd0. So, I now get the movie going just fine at the right speed with audio. Very nice for about 15 seconds and then the audio cuts out. The video keeps going which makes me think that the bus speed is ok. Anyone here know anything about this? Maybe MPlayer is a little complex for the job. I was going to try Xine, but I saw that they don't decode. I had to install the lib for css separately for MPlayer too; so maybe that is what you do with Xine. MPlayer mentions possible buggy sound driver in their docs, but the sound is perfect for that short time. -- Anita GnuPG key: 1024D/9EDAC910 ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: Trolling ebay for computers: Chips ahoy!
The downside to the $200.00 Walmart PC is that it has a VIA C3, and 128MB of memory--part of which it steals for video. And it may not have an AGP slot to add a different card. However, the same box is available with Lycoris or no OS, or for another $100.00 with WinXP home. I think it will go to 1GB of memory, and there are still decent PCI video cards out there. Walmart also sells systems with Mandrake, but not the cheap one. Their higher-end systems seem not to be priced quite so irresistibly, and still use onboard shared-RAM video. I have to second Lonni's criticism of Tiger, though must admit to being one of those who has had good luck with them. It comes from their originally (and still to some extent) being a vendor of surplus merchandise. The house brand (Systemax) PCs they sell are also available from Global Computer Supplies (http://www.globalcomputer.com/main/home.jsp). And the Vision systems are available direct--though on their site you have to be careful or you get redirected to Tiger.

The correction states: quote FYI - This is from NRTC, a Powered by DirecWay partner December 13, 2002 Hughes Denies DIRECWAY Comments in The Wall Street Journal, Dec. 12 Hughes Network Systems (HNS) has assured NRTC that an article appearing in the Dec. 12 Wall Street Journal under the headline Hughes to Halt Internet Offerings It Views Risky, is in error. Hughes tells us that The Journal took comments made several months ago by Jack Shaw, CEO of HNS parent company Hughes Electronics, out of context. An NRTC representative was present earlier this week when HNS CEO Pradman Kaul outlined the companys current position on DIRECWAY during the Lehman Brothers Technology Conference in Orlando, FL. At that conference, Kaul said that HNS is continuing to offer DIRECWAY and expects to add 100,000 residential and small-office/home-office customers in the coming year. In fact, he said, HNS currently is adding 3,000 new DIRECWAY subscribers a week, which is ahead of the 100,000-per-year pace. Kaul also said that subscriber acquisition cost (SAC) is the most significant factor limiting DIRECWAY growth. He estimated SAC to be $400-$500 per subscriber. In our communications with HNS, they have indicated their desire to move away from the subsidization of DIRECWAY and retail distribution through DIRECTV. Instead, they seek to shift more distribution to Powered by partners, including NRTC. Hughes has said that they will focus their efforts on the Enterprise and SOHO marketplaces. In July 2002, Jack Shaw speculated in public on the possibility of discontinuing DIRECWAY service. Shaws comments appeared at the height of the public relations battle surrounding the proposed EchoStar/DIRECTV merger. At the time, many analysts believed that HNS was using Shaws comments and similar messages in an attempt to sway public opinion in favor of the proposed merger. The Wall Street Journal reporter appears to have used those out-of-date statements as the basis of the article. NRTC responded to the July 2002 comments in the July 19 issue of The Download. As stated in that item, HNS executives assured NRTC then (and continue to assure) that they are not planning to pull the plug on DIRECWAY and will continue to support ongoing operation of that business.

[Fwd: [OT] VFP7 will run on Linux]
Original Message Subject: [OT] VFP7 will run on Linux Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 09:45:33 -0800 From: Paul McNett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of ProFox [EMAIL PROTECTED] This question has come up before, so I wanted to post my recent results here in case people are still interested. Last night I put the final piece of the puzzle together to get vfp7, out of the box, to run in a mostly stable fashion on Linux. Here's my first screenshot: http://www.paulmcnett.com/vfp/vfp7wine.html My testing also indicates that executables built from vfp7 will also run on Linux. Please understand, these are preliminary results only and I haven't done testing in the way of printing, scanning, com ports, etc. I have verified that vfp dbf's and dbc's are handled just fine, and that the various sqlstringconnect(), sqlexec(), etc. commands work for connecting to backend databases. Classes can be designed visually, browse windows will display, etc. I also don't have, at this point, a roadmap to tell others exactly what to do to get vfp to run on their linux installations. I do have notes jotted in various places and intend to get them formulated into a set of instructions. How far along I get in doing this depends to a great extent on the amount of interest shown for this.

I just wanted people to see how possible it will be to run VFP on Linux... a glimpse into the future perhaps... (by the way, I've had no luck getting VFP8 to work and I have tried.

Re: DirectWay/Linux?
I was told by the owner of a company that installs satellite systems that there is about a 750 ms lag in communications. He was installing an dish I used for Educational channels for me and while talking to him I found out his company also did satellites and he had the satellite Internet from the company he repped.

Look, I don't need anything but the DNS, phone number and whatever other information is needed to log on and use my account -- it doesn't matter if it's linux or not. But we don't support linux, the technical parrot repeated. Look, are you telling me your phone number changes if I run linux, or use a Mac or run OS/2? Are you telling me you just don't know what your DNS is? I'd like to help you, but we don't support linux. I hung up and called back later and pretended to be on a Windows system and wrote down the information which I then used to set up my linux system which they don't support.

SCSI vs IDE vs FIREWIRE/USB
I find the 4 drive limitation of IDE machines quite bothersome. Is there some way, other than scsi, to overcome this limitation in the linux world? Is setting up a scsi system just a matter of installing a scsi adaptor and then plugging things in (along with the appropriate drivers)? Is it worth the extra cost? Are there easier/better alternatives like firewire/usb peripherals?

Plus in the SCSI controller, plug in the drives (make sure that they are properly terminated), and then either compile support for the controller into the kernel, or create an initrd. As for it being worth the cost, depends on what you're using it for. If your sole reason for going SCSI is to have more than 4 drives, then its not worth it. If you want better performance reliability, then its certainly worth it. Are there easier/better alternatives like firewire/usb peripherals? Not for anyone who is serious about storage.

Are there easier/better alternatives like firewire/usb peripherals? SCSI is probably the best bet if you're looking for high performance and reliability. We're doing some experimenting now though with FireWire for things like large ftp sites where things change very infrequently, and access speed is limited by our T1 to the Internet. We're also looking at using external 120GB firewire drives for backups. They're easy to hot-swap, cheap ($200US for a Maxtor drive ane the external chassis), and fast enough for network backups using rsync. Assuming this works well, I plan to have at least two of these drives, one of which is at an off-site co-location site (I'll make the original backup locally, then ship the drive to the co-lo for rsync updates). This way we'll have a local copy for fast recovery in case a machine goes down, and a remote copy in case of major disasters. Right now I'm doing my first network backup from an SCO OpenServer box to a Caldera 3.1.1 Workstation box with a 2.4.20 kernel, with the external Maxtor drive. I'm planning on getting a managed 10/100 ethernet switch with two 10/100/1000 ports, and putting the backup server on the 1000 port to see how things go when I have several machines backing up simultaneously.
