Anne, why uninstall Xine? Shouldn't I just be able to update it?
   The Mandrake versions of mplayer and xine are not compiled to 
take advantange of the 'unfree' codecs and apps that they can't 
distribute for legal reasons.  Anne's advice was correct, uninstall 
the Mdk versions and then install only PLF versions.

The instructions from easyurpmi set up your sources.  You then need to use 
urpmi or Software Installer to do the updates - either way you will see it 
happening.

If you haven't installed slocate, do so.  ISTR that you also have to add 
yourself to the slocate group (userdrake, to do that).  Then, from a console 
you can type
slocate packagename
and you will see all the packages with that name in - including the docs - so 
you will see which version you have installed.

There are probably other ways, but this is the way that I check things.

Most of the media players in Mandrake's distro play DVDs. Xine, Totem, VLC 
spring to mind.  Simply install them and insert the movie DVD.

You can indeed.  However, commercial dvds are encoded, and thanks to the legal 
implications Mandrake cannot give you the packages you need.  PLF supply 
Mandrake packages to deal with this situation.  So -

1) Go to easyurpmi.zarb.org and follow the instructions there to make sure you 
have a plf source - while you are there it would pay you to grab one source 
from each of the sections listed.  A long chain of commands will be given to 
you to paste into a root console.  It does take a while for that to complete, 
so be patient until it has finished.  Using urpmi from the command line or 
Software Installer as a gui will now give you a whole raft of possibilities 
you didn't have before.

2) If you have xine installed, uninstall it.

3) Get the xine packages from the plf site - if you use Software Installer 
make sure you have enabled Maximum Information.  You also need decss and any 
codecs you can find, to give you maximum flexibility.  Install them in the 
usual way and you should be fine.

Thanks Peter, knew that, dun that :-)

Thing is I'm on dial-up here and the thought of downloading more than 1900
files for a total of around 2Gb is not a real option either. (yes, I do
know I don't need them all).

Nevertheless it's very frustrating to have to continnually go online to
obtain libraries and applications which you expect to be on a DVD which is
supposed to contain better than 3500 files if the the file-count on the
main repository is to be believed,

I have taken other steps to rectify my shortfall, I merely intended to see
if others on the list had encountered the same problem

[newbie] cd/dvd drive not recognizing another disk on insertion

2005-01-01 Per discussione Bruce Ellison
Hey all.

As a new convert, I'm perplexed at several things, but this thread is
about I can read/write to the first disk that I put into my cd/dvd
burner drive.  But as soon as I take it out, and insert another disk,
Konqueror tells me that there are zero files on the new (data filled)
disk.

Now I thought I had this problem licked by being careful about
mounting/unmounting, but that doesn't seem to work 100% - to be clear,
mounting/unmounting was working when just reading the data disk, and
then unmounting it before ejecting it.  Then I tried to make a ISO in
K3B and then I got the zero files when browsing to the data DVD
again.


Problem is also solved by restarting Linux, but that obviously isn't a
long term solution.

I am just going in through mnt/cdrom.  Do I need to make a mnt/dvdrom
or something?

drive is a LG 1610 dual layer DVD burner

You need to put the es1371 in modules.conf I believe. But 10.1 seems to be a

As for the DVD problem install libdvdcss from the PLF web site or it is also 
on Mandrake Club RPMs  web site. This is the DVDJohn decoder library and  
your  xine should run then, maybe. HTH.

[newbie] Still DVD problem

2004-03-30 Per discussione rhein
Hello,
I'm still not able to watch DVDs with xine and Kaffeine but I have 
installed those packages:
libdvdread 0.9.4.2 mdk, libxine 1-1.0 rc3.2plf and libdvdcss2-1.2.8. lplf.
I can whatch VCDs, lissen to cds and MP3 with xine and Kaffeine. Burn 
cds, read R-writeble.
I found also this on a xine download page:

By default, xine expects to find your DVD-ROM at //dev/dvd/. Creating a 
symbolic link to your device is recommended (for example, //dev/hdc/ or 
//dev/scd0/). The command below should work for most users:

 # ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd

Since I have a combo driver I don't know how to check the pass to my 
driver. Shall I use this command and will I not mess up my cd-rom driver?
Thanks
Christophe

 What target are you using for the command?  If you haven't created a /dev/dvd 
 or link, you may need to specify /dev/cdrom depending on how many drives you 
 have.
 
 You can also use the mount point /mnt/cdrom /mnt/dvd depending on what you use 
 and it should still open the tray.  However, if you have opened a console 
 window to go to a mounted drive or konqueror window, you need to close all of 
 those before you can eject the drive and you may need to su to root to get 
 the drive to open.

Okay, well assuming that you are using ide-scsi emulation for your DVD device, 
then /dev/hdc would probably not work.  The actual device would probably be 
listed in fstab as /dev/scd0 or something along that line.  Have you tried to

Do you happen to have a copy of the fstab that I could look at, especially the

[newbie] 9.2 DVD from ISO

2003-11-06 Per discussione mooney
I've succesfully downloaded the bittoerrent files, now I'd like to create a
single DVD (rather than 3 CDs) from the 9.2 ISOs.

Any suggestions as to how I convert the hdlist files, etc?

Many thanks

Paul M

magari star trek non è criptato. ma se è criptato mi sembra dura. sei 
sicuro di non avere installato le librerie di decriptazione? dicono che 
non le includono nella distribuzione ufficiale per timore di problemi 
legali (lo status legale delle librerie css sarebbe incerto), per questo 
bisogna cercarsele su plf.

grazie, sì avevo provato ogle ma senza successo. ho preso linuxpro di 
maggio, non so se era il n.7 (dove è scritto il numero?), ma non ho 
installato la 9.1 della rivista bensì il powerpack 9.1 di 7 cd comperati 
da mandrake. riproverò con ogle quando avrò ricostruito la scorta di

indispensabile per vivere felici, per andare per funghi o a pesca e per 
fare funzionare questa roba che alcuni tenteno di spacciare per un

Strange, it has a checkbox for divx in the search engine, but not one

However, I did notice that there is a section on converting divx to vcd,
how is the quality on that?

Re: [newbie-it] dvd ogle sound alsa

2003-05-30 Per discussione paolo brusasco
vero, grazie. prima volta che una roba scaricata dalla luna funziona al 
primo colpo!
mplayer!
ho installato libdvdcss2 (credo) e mplayer con dipendenze da plf e va, e 
non si pianta se vai avanti-indietro-pausa-ecc.
però se cambio lingua o sottotitoli in corso di proiezione mi riparte da 
inizio supporto (pazienza ce ne fosse che funzionano al primo colpo).
però per fare il pedante, molti vedo che preferiscono ogle.
in effetti sul mio sistema il servizio alsa risulta fermato secondo 
mandrake control center - services, nè riparte premendo start.
eppure suona tutto, quindi magari il sig. ogle potrebbe contrattare il 
suono con qualche altro signore e magari si può dirglielo, questo era in 
parte il senso del quesito.
temo che quando Emiliano parla di menuconfig si riferisca a 
compilazioni. io non ricompilo per principio. ho comprato 8.1 
powerpack,  9.1 powerpack, pago e pretendo (scherzo). però non è che 
magari le update servono?
grazie a tutti. ciao.

Quasi tutti credo abbiamo avuto problemi con Alsa e mdk 9.1, il kernel ha un 
bug, quando tenti di entrare da menuconfig in alsa salta del tutto menuconfig 
e nella shell ci sono messaggi di errore..
Ma possbile che quelli della mdk non se ne siano accorti?
Oppure su alcuni pc i driver Alsa funzionano correttamente?

HarM - just an off-chance.  When I had a similar problem under 9.0 it was

Well, I've just found out that my dvd player can't read the dvd's anymore.
Meaning what? I don't know...there's a /dev/dvd link allright. Manually trying 
to mount it just gives me the read error no medium found.

So it's hardware recognition specific, I guess.
Looks like I'll have to rumage around a little more but first I'll try an 
update-install it's been known to help before:o)

I tried and tried and finally gave up on Xine with DVD's.  I use Mplayer now, 
it works much better, has an easier configuration and seems to pick up DVD 
navigation much better than Xine.  You might want to try it, it comes with 
the Mandrake 9.1 distribution now.

It is not picked up on install or by

and my CDRW is mounted as scd0 on /mnt/cdrom2.

   

  

Oh, that happens, don't know why, I change the /mnt/cdrom and 
/mnt/cdrom2 around in /etc/fstab entries and then they come out the 
proper way round, ie, cdrom= DVD,  cdrom2=writer.

John



try,
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto 
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom2 auto

I cannot remember if you have both devices scsi-emulated but this way 
round makes dvd = scd0 = cdrom,  writer = scd1 = cdrom2, always provided 
that you have dvd/writer master and slave in that order, because the 
master slave determins scd0 or scd1 , and your fstab entry determins 
which is cdrom, and cdrom2.



John

  

As they say look in bios, but it's simple really, if you do it the same 
as mine and all is ok then your've got dvd/writer , master/slave, if it 
comes out , dvd=scd1=cdrom2,  writer=scd0=cdrom, then you're 
master/slave is the opposite way round.

As far as naming the /mnt directories goes it matters not what you call 
them, if you prefer dvd and writer, so be it, I chose cdrom,and cdrom2 , 
but it doesn't matter which you choose, so long as you have these names

You should be able to get into BIOS and be able to determine which is
which - most BIOS with autodetect will tell you that a DVDROM is listed
as DVDROM and every other CD/CDR is just CDROM - at least on the BIOS of
the machines I've worked on for the past few years...

[newbie] Swap DVD and CD-RW drives

2003-01-15 Per discussione Mungal Dhanda
Mandrake-Linux experts,

I have Mandrake 8.2 on a PC with one DVD Rom drive and one CD-RW.
Currently, DVD Rom drive is the master (hdc) and CD-RW is slave (hdd).
I want to swap the two CD drives around so that CD-RW is the master and
DVD Rom drive is the slave.

Could someone explain what needs to be done within mandrake-linux for
the DVD and CD-RW to be recognised correctly.

Many thanks.

Mungal.

The hardware change is the most important. You're going to have to set
the jumpers on the CDRW to master and the DVDROM to slave. Mandrake
SHOULD pick up the pieces and figure it out.

[newbie] adding DVD player

2002-12-24 Per discussione Jim Snyder
Hi

I just installed a new internal DVD player (Toshiba) and can see it in my 
Mandrake Control Center. It is on it's own cable and set as master. 
I do not know how to add the DVD to the /dev directory as it is not there and 
I cannot use my DVD players (Xine and Ogle). Ogle gives me an error message 
that /dev/dvd is not there. There was an HP CD burner in the slot previously 
and it was not functioning very well so it was unplugged some time ago and I 
have been using an external HP CD burner. Not sure if this matters.

Is there a simple command to add the DVD?

Many thanks in advance.

I cannot believe how cheap these players are now. This one was only $45 off 
the web.

 Mandrake Control Center. It is on it's own cable and set as master. 
 I do not know how to add the DVD to the /dev directory as it is not there and 
 I cannot use my DVD players (Xine and Ogle). Ogle gives me an error message 
 that /dev/dvd is not there. There was an HP CD burner in the slot previously 
 and it was not functioning very well so it was unplugged some time ago and I 
 have been using an external HP CD burner. Not sure if this matters.
 
 Is there a simple command to add the DVD?
 
 Many thanks in advance.
 
 I cannot believe how cheap these players are now. This one was only $45 off 
 the web.
 
 Jim Snyder
 

Here's how mine's setup;

/dev/cdrom - /dev/dvd

I just did a:

ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd

...that was all she wrote!

 Mi piacerebbe proprio trovare dei divx creati con linux con

Buon giorno a tutta la Ml, vorrei porre una domanda, che mi pare non sia mai 
passata.
Se sbaglio spero di non venir punito troppo duramente.
Se ho un filmato digitale (ad esempio un film catturato dalla tele) esiste 
sotto linux la possibilità di fare l'encoding in divx?
Questa possibilità esiste anche per i film in dvd?
Ascoltando i discorsi in università tutti usano win2000/xp, ma con linux si 
deve solo guardare? 
Tra parentesi io non ho neppure il dvd, quindi non mi interessa ancora, ma un 
pò di campalinismo
Mi piacerebbe proprio trovare dei divx creati con linux con caratteristiche 
audio/video migliori di quelli creati con win.

Ciao Nicola

I used to be a rebel in my youth.

This cause... that cause... (chuckle) I backed 'em ALL!  But I learned.
Rebellion is simply a device used by the immature to hide from his own
problems.  So I lost interest in politics.  Now when I feel aroused by
a civil rights case or a passport hearing... I realize it's just a device.
I go to my analyst and we work it out.  You have no idea how much better
I feel these days.

I sent an E-mail to Mandrake about it (you are talking about what they call 
the workstation DVD, right?). They told me it was basically the 7 CD 
Powerpack with no manuals. So...if you order it, and the separate manual 
package ($19), you would wind up with the 7 CD Powerpack on DVD.

 Since attempting to get my dvd player accepted as a scsi device, by editing
 lilo.conf and fstab, I now have a device that doesn't appear to be either
 ide or scsi.  I can't install or uninstall software because it always asks
 for the discs to be in cdrom1, and does not recognise it when I do that. 
 The only information I can find that's relevant follows:

 fstab
 /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount
 dev=/dev/scd1,user,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount
 dev=/dev/scd0,user,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
First of all I suppose you've run lilo after having changed lilo.conf...

The above lines mean that the first scsi-emulated ide drive (your DVD) is 
being mounted in /mnt/cdrom2 and the second one (RW) in /mnt/cdrom

First attempt to solve your problem is to put the CD the software manager is 
asking for in the RW, not in the DVD drive.

If that doesn't work, what is the exactly message you get from software 
installer asking you to put a Mandrake CD in?  If you see it's asking for a 
CD in /dev/hda just link /dev/hda to /dev/scdx (where x is the identifier of 
your scsi-emulated ide drive)...

Hope that helps.
