Lucid 525 Mplayer package
On reflection, I think the lucid 5.2.5 ffmpeg is 0.6-2 from Maverick--that is, the libraries are from medibuntu for Maverick.

Thanks for checking gnome-mplayer 1.0.4 pemasu. I will fix it now. That's done. I have got to remember to check the menu entry and jwm.

ffmpeg didn't break anything (as far as I know) so I posted it. Mplayer (compiled from svn) broke the brand new gnome-mplayer, so to avoid confusion I didn't post Mplayer (however it does seem to work fine).

Those who know where I store my repo are welcome to give it a try :wink: , just be aware to get GUI you'll need to recompile gnome-mplayer.

EDIT: I can't get gnome-mplayer to work with my new mplayer compile. It compiles fine but it segfaults with a glib object error. Maybe a new ffmpeg is not good for lupu :(

Do any of the gnome-mplayers work? The default 1.0.2 was compiled by ttuuxxx. I may easily have overlooked something in the 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 that I did. Ah, someone could try Smplayer (from PPM) and Umplayer (from forum). Maybe better results there. Don't worry about the 1.0.4--I just thought it was funny coincidence that 01micko and I had done those two things at the same time without knowing.

Micko, Kevin DeKorte said the new gnome-mplayer 1.0.4 had 3,000 new lines of code. I am looking for 1.0.3 source.


I wonder if 1.0.3 would work better.

source for 1.0.3 -> http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/downloads/list

source for gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.3 -> http://code.google.com/p/gecko-mediapla ... loads/list

Here's ffmpeg-0.8 Note: It complained that an updated VA-API =>.32 would be needed for full API support. It also needed an updated libvpx to enable it.

Hey jpeps, long time no see ;-)

As I understand it we would also need mplayer linked to the new ffmpeg libraries, plus that mplayer would have to work with the rest of Lucid 5.2.5--the problem has been, again as I understand it, that gnome-mplayer/mplayer segfaults. You didn't have anything else planned today did you?

Both gnome-mplayer and mplayer seem to be working here with ffmpeg-0.8

edit: I hadn't read the last few pages of the thread before posting :).

Ah, I see. I *think* they are working with the older ffmpeg libraries which have slightly different names and are not replaced by the new ones (such as libavcodec52 and libavcodec53). You might try deleting libavcodec52 and seeing if mplayer/gmplayer still work. The trick will be to get an mplayer that works with the new libraries but also works in lucid without segfaulting.

mplayer needs it, for sure.

Code: Select all

 ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep libavcodec* 
	libavcodec.so.52 => /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.52 (0xb62a7000)
I tried linking it to libavcodec.so.53 (used by ffmpeg), and it didn't work.

It looks like something interesting might come out of this. An i686 Lucid maybe even.

I compiled MPlayer 1.0rc4-4.4.3 on top of ffmpeg 0.8, and it runs without libavcodec.so.52, libavcodec.so.52.72.2. Gnome-mplayer also works without it.

stripe, I'm with you. I personally think it would be possible, but there would be some problems to solve. Anyway, I don't think it will be Lucid. I hope someone takes the challenge.

Iguleder has made his first steps toward 64 bit lucid 525.

There are couple of follow up posts starting from that linked post.

I was thinking it would be useful to have a "libs" category in the PPM.

Maybe an all libs sfs, at least for a FRUGAL install it will not take extra space of the save file.

CUPS + OPERA

#1906 Post by Volhout »

I have a strange behaviour in my puppy 525 setup.

I have installed the printer (Epson RX420) as a shared printer (so I can access it from my netbook using puppeee), and when I print from Abiword or from Libreoffice all is fine. But when I print from Opera 11.00 (installed from pet) every print job is double. They show up as 2 identical jobs in CUPS.

Any idea ? Did look through the Opera setups, but couldn't find any setting that helps. I print via the Opera pulldown menu (did not test ctrl-P yet).

Quick search in Google and this seems to be bug in Opera.
There is a newer version in Additional Software->internet.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

Sorry Bigpup,

I have searched in the (I did the update) PPM (no opera), I have searched ibiblio (could find only opera 10.10 and 10.11). And in Quickpet there was only 10.63 and my current one 11.00. 11.00 is the most recent one I found. I must be blind...where should I look for additional software ???
