173 Processes? |
|
Is it normal for GKrellM to show 173 processes?
EDIT: Powered up fresh this morning & before opening any windows it shows 132 processes. Is that normal?
Last night I looked and saw what appeared to be print processes (daemons) listed but there were no print jobs active active. Lots of "0%" entries in Pprocess, same now.
Or might that explain why I'm having trouble with VLC playing MP4 files - starting OK then audio drops out and video gets jittery then completely garbled?
Only Seamonkey was open with one Web page (this one), the main email page, and one compose page open.

Contrary to that, it is a "user-level" service started on-demand by other mechanisms, most often desktop related. Like polkit stuff.
Therefore, it is not <gam_server> per se which is responsible for intensive CPU consumption, but rather whatever mechanism services higher in the stack that are launching it on their behalf to monitor files/directories activity. | So maybe this change to spacefm will help, at least if spacefm was responsible. There are other KDE services which may use gamin:
polkit, akonadi, nepomuk, strigi, virtuoso, as well as apps like dolphin and konqueror. |
yea ksnapshot uses it. I had to run the following to get it to run:
Code: | export $(dbus-launch) |

Edit (Today, at 11am): I have seen lots of these as well. I have wondered if they are present from the use of one/more browsers I have. Up until you mentioned it, I had not paid much attention to this, only noting there presence without attributing it to a base element ni the system. I run 2 browsers: Chrome and FF. I used Chrome to define a LAN printer via CUPs and I have 4 add-ons in FF.
Although it probably wont happen this week, I think it would be prudent to test a full Mariner to see what and where the elements begin to show up. This would serve to identify which component is the contributor. As far as I can tell, I have NOT seen case to whether the behavior of these elements have a positive or negative system impact....but they may.
Anyone else know anything about these PID elements?

FireFox Update 24 Doesn't Load |
|
I'm getting a pop-up to upgrade to Firefox 24.
If I click OK it appears to run but never accomplishes anything so I close the window.
Does this update need to be done a different way?

Yes that many processes are not anything to worry about. And they aren't 'print' processes in the way you think about 'printing' things. To explain this would be WAY beyond the scope of this thread. dbus is a very low level part of a linux distro. It's not something that can explained throughly in a simple explanation.

Thanks Q5sys ...
I just remembered, I am still running under generic VESA as the problem with finding the proper video driver was set-aside for other matters when I first loaded LH64-602b.
Perhaps that is where the instability in VLC lies?

Upgrade of FF when the offer presents itself in LH64 |
|
There is a Menu item which can assist all who need to take advantage of the FF Upgrade:
- Go to Menu>Internet>Firefox Update Help
- Click the Firefox (root) button to Open FF under the root ID (instead of Spot)
- When this FF opens, go to Help>About Firefox
- On the screen which pops up, Under the version number, FF will show the upgrade status/alert. Click if necessary.
Hope this helps

v4l2-ctl? |
|
I am trying to get a Dazzle DVC-100 analog to digital interface to work.
One of the steps in the Linux instructions I found is: Code: | v4l2-ctl --list-inputs |
Console reports: "command not found"
ALSO ...
The instructions for VLC settings include \:
Quote: | Media -> Stream -> Capture Device:
Capture Mode = Video for Linux 2 |
However, the only Capture modes offered under Capture Device are "PVR" and "Desktop"
How should I proceed, please?
Thanks!

v4l2 is NOT included in LHP. And to be honest, I only know if it as a 32bit component within the 32bit compat packages.
I dont recall ever seeing a native 64bit package for it.
EDIT:
I stand corrected. You can 'try' this package. It may or may not work for you.
http://slackbones.org/pets/v4l-utils-0.8.8-x86_64-2.txz
EDIT2: After you install that run the following from the command line.
Code: | ldd /usr/bin/v4l2-ctl |
If everything is found... your part of the way there.

Now onward to the VLC settings ...

OpenShot - Status |
|
Current version is 1.43
Based on this page:
http://www.openshotvideo.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
... the best-case scenario for OpenShot 2.0 is some time in December ... maybe.
That's a long ways away ... and probably will not happen ... more like January of February according to typical major-revision history ... sigh.
Maybe I will try again to get Avidemux to play nicely ... or hope someone gets OpenShot 1.43 working for LH64-602b?
BTW: Any imminent updates to LH-64 or Raring?

Arista 2-Click Transcoder? |
|
I have an 11g file from converting a VHS tape to AVI via a Dazzle box & VLC.
I really need to reduce that footprint!
The Arista transcoder app for Linux has been recommended as simple and reliable.
A brief review here:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/arista-twoclick-video-conversion-tool-linux/
Source code:
http://www.transcoder.org/downloads/
Anyone tried this in LH64-602b?

PuppyPin and PuppyPinLHP Subject description: holding desktop changes after reboot |
|
Not quite sure if this is a bug or a feature.
In the default window manager of Puppy, when you drag an icon to the desktop or do some other modification, those modifications are put in the file /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin.
LHP does the exact same thing.
However, the file that seems to be what creates the desktop is actually /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPinLHP. So, when you reboot, the desktop returns back to the original setup (losing your changes), unless you manually copy the PuppyPin file to the PuppyPinLHP file.
Thanks

Backlight with LHP 64 602 beta 2 Subject description: Issue with Intel chip and the backlight turning off |
|
My friend asked me to update her Lighthouse. Currently she has LHP 443 on her Gateway NV78. It is old and I want to update her to the x64.version.
Unfortunately this lhp 64 602 beta 2 version allows intel to turn the backlight off at start up. This does not happen with lhp 443. I also found that lupo 528 also keeps the backlight on. Is there any way to get LHP 64 602 to turn the backlight on?
I figured out that I could attach an external monitor to her laptop to change the settings. I found workarounds that are temporary, that needs to be fixed each time the computer is turned on. However my friend is not geeky enough to do it each time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Pete.
