(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Neither my Hauppauge or Siig video capture USB devices are recognized in LH64-602b.

I cannot find any reference to Siig working with Slackware but there were several references to the Hauppauge & Slackware - most mention bttv.

I looked for bttv under Packages but came up empty - then I found this site from Hauppauge:

http://www.hauppauge.com/html/linux.htm

Can anyone point me to the app I need for LH64-602b to talk to the Hauppauge, please?

@eDoc, I just found my notes. It was Avidemux2 that TaZoC has mentioned. It worked OOTB and is added to my system via the Update icon that is built-into the LightHouse desktop. It works and is ever-present after a system save-session to the DVD

Sorry for the delay, as I had trouble finding my notes (again). Thx @TaZoC, again. Work

It shows up as "Avidemux 2.5.6" in Help -> About

I need to find a quick & simple tutorial as I need to output add a few text frames, a few fixed image frames, and a couple of video clips for a 5min promo for families to come alongside international exchange students at the local university.

EDIT1: Found & printed the wiki ...

EDIT2: It seems that this is a rudimentary tool. I guess I need to create text frames in some other tool then import them to the file. Any recommendations for which tool I should use? I'm thinking simple frames that read "Welcome to Georgia, USA", "International Exchange Fellowship", "Share our culture & learn about others", and "Please become a local family to an international student". I also need a few fixed frames of the college sign, an airplane landing at the airport, plus a few photos I already have, in addition to the video clips. WDYT?

Nice to see you back.
You're old links to your LHPUPrecord are all down. Do you still have it on hand?

LHPUPrecord - wow its a mess. I was playing catchup and found a guy who did what i did with LHPUPrecord but in Qt.
It works like mine did but with out all the alsa nightmare selections.

Its fast and lightweight!
Compiling it was a nightmare. It has not check msg for the build besides telling you FAIL! so I had to gointo his code on github and look for the line i filed on. Fixed the depend and a --disable for a un-needed.

Give it a try.

------- All my old links were down ---------
Got a RC1 canidant for LAMP and threw it on my new LHPUP64 - LAMP server

My repository can be found here.

http://puppyfiles.puppytune.org/lighthouse64/

kinda had to do it. bad to make a LAMP.sfs and not use it

LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP) + webmin


Quick Start Guide

Install LAMP_Webmin-0.3.0-x86_64.sfs
SFS - http://puppyfiles.puppytune.org/lightho ... x86_64.sfs - 332Megs
MD5 - http://puppyfiles.puppytune.org/lightho ... 64.sfs.md5

Install LAMP_depends-0.3.0-x86_64.sfs
SFS - http://puppyfiles.puppytune.org/lightho ... x86_64.sfs - 78Megs
MD5 - http://puppyfiles.puppytune.org/lightho ... 64.sfs.md5

restart

Open up your web browser.

you can now access all of the below from a nice webpage located at
http://localhost/server
Webmin
login = admin, Pass = password
myPHPadmin
apache
phpinfo

Put all your html or files in the DIR
/root/spot/lamp/apache/apache2/htdocs
this is its home folder for web hosting

I wanted it out of my pupsave file not eating up space. For my server I symbolicly linked it out of my pup to the hdd.

Unless you know how to chown or chmod dont put it linked to another HDD. keep it on the same drive your pet is at.

Backup
Yes thats right. run the command ' mlampbackup '
It will take you through a script that will take every thing in your lamp dir and turn it into a sfs !!! so you can take your stuff with you or backup and changes you make.

Running as root or spot
If you use any port below 1024 it will run as root. Set all ports above 1024 and it will run as spot. At first I had this options script with diologs etc. Then i thought keep it simple stupid. Change ports and hit apply for apache in webmin that simple.

Notes

https works! id recommend making your own keys but ill cover that in a video

The only bug is if you try to restart mysql in webmin. It will turn off.

I will be making a new forum thread on this LAMP and making some howto videos. Ive tried to setup basic things like icons to common files etc.

What will this server run....... Well its packed full of the options.

It installed coppermine with out issue.
http://coppermine-gallery.net/

Installed owncloud just fine
http://owncloud.org/

Should do fine with http://wordpress.org/ or http://www.joomla.org/ CMS's

Clipbucket was an issue. They are working hard on v3 and then it should work fine on this server.

Tell me!

If your needing a build package for the server that was missed in my build
If ya just have a usage question.



hope this gets put to use. wonder if it works in fatdog.

Your LAMP effort looks like a very valuable addition, thanks!

BTW: Doesn't LAMP also open the way for MythTV?

I got a question for ya all.

What 32bit puppy OS should I use to build the 32bit version of lamp.

Basically what is the root pup ATM...... Wary?

I want to build it on something that should work across the board.

edoc wrote:BTW: Doesn't LAMP also open the way for MythTV?

yes. well the back end anyway.

I have not seen a Qt 4 - dev pet in a while.

i hate building Qt and a few of the other depends for MythTV.

but if your looking for a database server this LAMP would do it.

I forget the many layers necessary for MythTV.

At one point I had it working on my old Panasonic CF-29 laptop but then updated the Puppy version and lost access ... sigh.

It would be nice to have something in a SFS that does it all - then which is updated as necessary version to version.

There are a number of devices that depend on MythTV but it's simply not worth the time to battle through all of the dependencies over and over just to keep them running.

Would you prefer the full QT4 or QT5?
I've got plenty of cores I can assign to the task. lol

Isn't QT4 a PET in LH64/FATDOG Repo?

FYI

gcmartin wrote:Isn't QT4 a PET in LH64/FATDOG Repo?

FYI

Yes, but its not the full development package. I think it still has qt-creator, but it doesnt have all the add-ons or extensions or sources. Which makes sense since the full QT dev package is well over 1gb.

TazOC,
I've noticed a bug popping up every once in a while. /usr/libexec/gam_server will start to run really hard, and when it does several things happen.
1) In Openbox, the click menu causes X to lock up.
2) Unable to start XFCE
3) Unable to start KDE
4) Unable to start JWM.
5) Only Openbox and LXDE will load.
6) If you kill -9 on gam_server it will respawn. (I dont know what's spawning it)

I was able to resolve it by running: killall gam_server

This doesnt happen often, but when it does its kinda annoying. I just have to crtl-alt-backspace to kill X and then run killall from the command line and then xwin to log back in.

re. "Avidemux 2.5.6"

Is it typical to build fixed frames , e.g. a text frame or fixed image, for a video editing project in something like MTPaint or Gimp?

They would be displayed in between video clips.

I presume that I would either repeat the frame or tell the editor to pause on it for a few seconds?

EDIT: Just found this & it's printing as I type this ...

http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.ph ... audio_file

Avidemux2 will not allow me to import a mp3 or wav audio file.

I have followed the wiki instructions.

I tried running a mp3 through Audacity to export as a wav - per their wiki instructions - and that was a fail.

Has anyone had success with this in LH64-602b, please?

@TaZoC and @eDoc, there is a newer version of AviDemux. Don't know if it addresses the audio issue of a Picture in the video, but "may". Someone in the community may need to build a PET for testing, assuming it can be tested in the existing LH602.

Also, anyone interested,AviDemux has a forum where operational questions can be raised, also..

Hope this helps

I have joined the Forum.

Right now I'm trying to sort out how to add multiple text frames (created in mtpaint and saved as png).

I have a Project with 60 frames of an airplane about to land.

BTW: Why is it so hard for the app to just offer a Time option? I should be able to add an image and specify that it should be held on the screen for xx seconds.

Anyhow ...

I need to add 60 frames of a text message saying "Welcome to Statesboro, GA, USA!"

When I open the Project and go to the last Frame, #60, then Append and select "welcometoga1.png" it is added as Frame # 61.

However, if I try to add multiple additional Frames Avidemux2 v. 2.5.6 crashes.

I just discovered that if I create a second Project containing 60 Frames of "welcometoga1.png" then Save As Multiple JPEGS then Open the first Project and Append to the end it works. (Not terribly intuitive.)

Next to add video clips and then sort out the audio problem ...

According to this forum thread elsewhere Avidemux 2.5.6 may be broken on the audio side -- which may explain my day-long frustration trying to get it to recognize the audio associated with the video.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36430

The source file comes from a Canon camcorder which generated a .MOD file in which VLC identifies the audio as AC3 (a52) stereo 48000Hz bitrate 256kbs.

Welcome edoc; Depends what you are working with.
Avidemux worked great editing vob files ( mp2 ).
But not editing the files after they were converted to x264 ( mp4 ).

### NOTE: Lighthouse would not make a Save file for me either.
.

I listed the Audio codec, here's the Video (also per VLC):

MPEG-1/2 video (mpvg)
720 x 480
Frame Rate 59.940060
Decoded Format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV

Hello,

A lot of applications are very ugly in KDE, especially applications Puppy.

What can I do ?

Thanks
