VLC 2.0.6 is throwing an error when I try to play an mkv file:
VLC can't recognize the input's format:
The format of 'file:///media/New_Volume/Once%20Upon%20a%20Time%20-%20Season%203%20Complete-ChameE/Once.Upon.a.Time..S03E01.HDTV.x264-ChameE.mkv' cannot be detected. Have a look at the log for details.
Anyone else seeing this?

Is there a fix, please?

Thanks - David

I am not a user of VLC and there are many others more knowledgible. But until they arrive with a solution you might consider:
The "log" mentioned in the message and if VLC accepts plugins. I wonder if the VLC from FATDOG or Slacko64 addressed this as they may have been compiled or newer.

Anyone ...

If you are NEW, or are a LH64 "Live" user or have not noticed there is a far-reaching technology that may have been overlooked by some of us.

Go to Menu>Setup>Remaster Lighthouse LiveCD. Read the opening parable. This distro has so many gems quietly kept that it is still ahead of its time.

Here to help

Did you mean to type Setup rather than Settings?

Menu>Setup>Remaster Lighthouse LiveCD

Thanks for pointing that out - quick & simple backup & rescue method.

Updated Chromium for Lighthouse64

#586 Post by gcmartin »

@Peebee has been making a 64bit version of Chromium available to community users over the past 2 releases.

I just tested on a pristine Mariner version without loading the Chrome SFS at boot time.

Instead, @Peebee's contribution, Chromium64 was
  1. downloaded
  2. moved from the /root/spot/Download directory to /root
  3. Open ROX to downloaded SFS
  4. Rightclicked to run sfs-load
  5. Chose CD as the target to save
Image
Success message gotten, but, I could not get it to run after it as whether I wanted it for "...default". In a terminal, I got this message

Code: Select all

bash-4.1# chromium 
/usr/lib64/chromium/chromium: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.18' not found (required by /usr/lib64/chromium/chromium)
Has anyone found a path to launch success using this SFS?

Means that the infrastructure (glibc) of LH 64 602 Beta 2 is not current enough for the demands of Chromium64......

Regarding this post and those leading to it:

I need a suggestion for which commands [and where] to add to the grub.cfg file in Lighthouse64-6.02-B2_Mariner.iso, so there will be no auto-save during a session nor at shutdown/reboot, but will be presented with the choice to "save or no save".

Anyone?

@Syylvander has reported that the XFCE desktop for LH64 is 32bit. I have never used it and am at a disadvantage in being a help. But, others of you have used this WM.

Questions
  • Have you noticed this?
    Does it impact use?
    Is there a current 64bit version that offers benefits
?Curious of this finding.

Ideas for LH64 Updates?

#590 Post by edoc »

Any chance we can gain some insight as to potential additions/updates to LH64 from the newest release of Caine?

http://www.caine-live.net

Sure has some neat features and some UEFI workarounds ...

Anyone get a DJVU reader to work in LH 64?

PPM says I have djulibre installed but "djvu" "djview" etc. don't work from Console, nor can I get it from toying with various Run Action settings.

Any thoughts, please?

I have a radio schematic I am trying to view ...

Thanks!

The updated FF is complaining about VLC:
VLC Web PluginVersion 2.0.6 Twoflower, copyright 1996-2012 VideoLAN and Authors
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ vulnerable
They offer a bunch of Linux distro updates for VLC but I'm not sure if I should use any of them or wait for a Puppy/LH64-602-b2 compiled VLC update.

WDYT?

I just poked around and didn't find this ...

Where, please, may one set a password to protect access to LH 64?

Just a simple log-in thing at boot-up - just to keep a basic-skills computer user off the laptop.

I haven't tried this since I do everything as root, but have you tried 'menu/setup/personalize settings/ ...getting started (upper right)/password wizard' ?

You should also be able to set up a password in the bios/firmware of your box which would theoretically keep everyone out.

Thanks!

Here's the thing - as I look at those two password options I recall that I am never asked for a password when I power-on the computer - so the one on the left won't help, & I believe that the screen saver password only engages once the computer has been on & times-out to screen saver mode - yes?

If that's all correct than do I really need to set a BIOS password?

I want to require a password when someone tries to access the computer which has been powered off.

Note: I boot this laptop from USB in order to get around the MS/UEFI monopoly-mess. I'll have to experiment with a BIOS password to learn if the workaround also compromises it.

Thanks again.

If you are booting with GRUB, you can add a password line to your menu.lst like

Code: Select all

title Lighthouse
password abcde
Make sure that you have an alternate way to boot the machine, like off a CD, in case you make a mistake.

Seamonkey updated & is now forcing a window every time it opens whining about the need to check plug-ins and VLC is the trigger.

Seamonkey -> Help -> Plugins: Version 2.0.6 Twoflower

There isn't an update in PPM (latest there is 2.0.4).

I'm guessing I need the Slackware 64 version?

http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/vlc/build/

Is this the correct file?
vlc-2.1.5.tar.xz 06-Jul-2014 10:16 19M
NOTE: If libvlcplugin.so is in that ".xz" it's not visible to me! Must be another source somewhere ... help, please?

I need the updated "libvlcplugin.so" to replace the old one here:
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

What, me, make mistakes? :roll:

Is it the grub.cfg file (looks a lot like a typical menu.lst) where I insert this?

Should I insert it after "set timeout=10"?

Code: Select all

insmod png
background_image /menu.png
set timeout=10
menuentry "1 Lighthouse64" {
    linux /vmlinuz
    initrd /initrd.xz
}
Thanks!

You have GRUB2, so I don't know where it should go.

I just found the instructions:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Passwords


Complexity comes with power ...

I wonder if someone could create a simple "Set GRUB2 Password" entry, via a PET, for the LH64 Menu?

It could be only for All Access or also break down some of the user and/or menu options.

I just need something simple to keep a basic computer user from accessing the computer - an initial superuser password requirement, prior to the display of any Grub menu items, should get that done.

Anyone good with GRUB2 out there, please?
