Try adding the following arguments at the end of your boot command line:

Code: Select all

acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux
This works for an Acer Aspire 5755. Your results may vary. :)

Thanks,npierce. It doesn't seem to change things. But It's no biggie. I mainly reported it here because I thought it might be helpful information as a bug report, though a minor one.

Re: Open Office won't open version 3.1.1

Yes, you are right, 3.1.1 is a no go.

There is an other one you can try. It's Open Office version 3.2.

This one works fine with Racy and Wary. You can find it on 'ibiblio' or one of the others.

f.e.: http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/pupp ... modules-5/
c8d9d74f75a1adb968643c5c6d84224b openoffice-3.2-dpup-sfs4.sfs (md5)

Cheers, Feodor
Thanks very much Feodorf. I haven't tried OO 3.2 as an sfs yet, but had already downloaded Libre Office, and that worked.

I'd suggest here in the bug reports section that Open Office 3.1 sfs be removed from the Racy official repository as it comes up in the sfs installer -- and it's a long download 160mb. The 3.2 version should probably be there instead.

Thanks again Feodorf!

Hmmm, that is strange. Wary/Racy has a recompiled ffmpeg, but x11-grab was enabled.

Did it work with an earlier version of Wary/Racy?

Would you mind trying the older ffmpeg, get it from here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_pa ... 02-w5c.pet

The reason that I recompiled it, is that it had network support disabled, that someone wanted for Pmusic.
Today I tried running Lobster's script with both the old (ffmpeg-20111002-w5c.pet) and new (fmpeg-20111002-1-w5c.pet) versions. Both gave the "unknown input format: 'x11grab'" error.

Support for x11grab can also be tested like this:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -formats 2>/dev/null | grep x11grab
Both versions failed to list the x11grab format.

The ffmpeg-0.8.4-i686-s.pet version grabbed the X11 screen OK and listed the format:

Code: Select all

# ffmpeg -formats 2>/dev/null | grep x11grab
 D  x11grab
(But be aware that installing this .pet in Wary will break other things, such as some libraries used by mplayer.)

What is the difference in the versions? I found some information that seems to indicate that if certain libraries, header files, and functions needed to support x11grab were not available when ffmpeg was compiled, support for x11grab would not be included, yet no error message would be given at compile time.

For details, see this article (and search it for "x11grab"):
Capturing the Screen or Video of Your Virtual Machines Using X, Vnc, Rdp or Native ways

Of most interest is this bit of code from the configure file, provided in the article:
enabled x11grab &&
check_header X11/Xlib.h &&
check_header X11/extensions/XShm.h &&
check_header X11/extensions/Xfixes.h &&
check_func XOpenDisplay -lX11 &&
check_func XShmCreateImage -lX11 -lXext &&
check_func XFixesGetCursorImage -lX11 -lXext -lXfixes
According to an ffmpeg bug report (http://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/ticket/821), this has been fixed as of 2012-Mar-21. Now compilation should "die if x11grab dependencies are unavailable". One would hope that it will also give a useful error message. I have not tried it.

ffmpeg and x11grub

Yes, it is a mystery.
I have tried to compile ffmpeg on Racy with x11grub.
I installed libXext and libXfixes on Racy, but still failed to enable x11grub support... :cry:

ffmpeg and x11grab

#276 Post by npierce »

I took a look at the configure script for ffmpeg, and noticed that it does not automatically track down the X libraries in /usr/X11R7/lib/. It only looks in the default library directories searched by gcc.

Since gcc will also look in $LIBRARY_PATH, I worked around the problem by temporarily setting that on the command line to be equal to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which has /usr/X11R7/lib/ in the path:

Code: Select all

LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab . . . [other options]
I had to do the same when running make:

Code: Select all

LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH make
That worked.

But looking a little more deeply at configure, I saw that it has an option that allows us to do this without my work-around: --extra-ldflags=

Code: Select all

./configure --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/X11R7/lib" --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab . . . [other options]
When configure runs, the "-L/usr/X11R7/lib" is prefixed to $LDFLAGS, which is saved in config.mak, so, using this method, nothing needs to be added to the make command.

Anyway, using either of the above methods I was able to create an ffmpeg that worked with Lobster's pup_rec script on Racy 5.2.2.

(One word of advice: When experimenting with building ffmpeg, don't be shy about using the "make clean" command. I became neglectful in that department, and was confused when things seemed to behave inconsistently.)


By the way, I used the source from Barry's site: http://bkhome.org/sources/alphabetical/ ... svn.tar.gz and modified the configure file according to the 2012-Mar-21 change that makes configure die with an error message when it can't find the X dependencies, instead of continuing happily on its way with no complaint.

With that fix, it does indeed die when it cannot find them, giving this error message:
configure wrote:/usr/lib/gcc/i486-t2-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../i486-t2-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
ERROR: X11 not found
But there is no need to make this modification. I tested with the unmodified configuration file, and it works fine as long as it is told where to look for the X libraries. It just doesn't tell you that it couldn't find them if you forget to tell it.

Seems the whole _PATH_ garbage from /etc/profile is of no real use ( except for the 'PATH' ) .

I have LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/X11R7/lib:/root/my-applications/lib:/usr/local/lib"

and here How To Use FFMPEG To Screencast from any Puppy Distro
i could compile ffmpeg with x11grab using --enable-pic
configuration:

Code: Select all

--disable-yasm --enable-sram --enable-pic --enable-zlib --enable-bzlib --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab
Puppy 4 also has /usr/X11/lib like wary/racy .

Re: ffmpeg and x11grab

#279 Post by npierce »

shinobar,

It is good to hear that you had success!

If you remove the --disable-network option, ffmpeg should also support streaming from a URL, which will allow pmusic to work with radio streams.

For my own PC, I used the same options that Barry used in his 18 Mar 2012, 8:05 comment near the bottom of this blog entry: ffmpeg 20111002svn recompiled -- the comment where he removed --disable-network. I also removed --enable-network since, as Barry pointed out, that is the default. And, of course, I added --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/X11R7/lib".


Karl,

Thanks for the info. I was wondering about how others, including you, have done this in the past, so I appreciated reading about your successful method.

I see from the thread you referenced that you were able to compile ffmepeg 0.7.11 on Puppy 4.3.1. When I tried that version of the source on Puppy 4.3.1, using your options:

Code: Select all

./configure --disable-yasm --enable-sram --enable-pic --enable-zlib --enable-bzlib --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab
configure didn't list x11_grab_device as an indev:
configure wrote:Enabled indevs:
alsa fbdev v4l
dv1394 oss v4l2
Only when I added --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/X11R7/lib" did I have success:

Code: Select all

./configure --extra-ldflags="-L/usr/X11R7/lib" --disable-yasm --enable-sram --enable-pic --enable-zlib --enable-bzlib --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab
configure wrote:Enabled indevs:
alsa oss v4l2
dv1394 v4l x11_grab_device
fbde
So you must have worked additional magic.

Perhaps you installed the libraries in /lib/ or /usr/lib/ where they would be found without the need to add anything to the library search path.

Likely the libs from "--prefix=/usr" -debian did the trick
but i think that x11grab showed up at final ./configure output and also in ffmpeg --version
before this but simply did not compiled into ffmpeg which was very confusing .
I also tried shinobars' three ffmpeg-svn* back then saying x11grab enabled but did not work either and wondered what was wrong and found no messages about this on the forum .

I think the whole /etc/profile is worth to split into several /etc/profile.d/path files for better handling like /etc/profile.d/Puppy_QT, Puppy_Seamonkey, Puppy_XDG, Puppy_LD . Probably profile files need to be sourced by xwin too to be carried (exported) into X environment ( rxvt, urxvt, sakura, xterm, ... ).

I also must say that i started to disable the /etc/profile lookup in .bashrc long time ago .

Now its all solved thanks to npierce.

BTW, you can check if the ffmpeg supports x11grab by typing:

Code: Select all

# ffmpeg -formats 2>/dev/null | grep x11
 D  x11grab

yes, /usr/X11* is a royal PITA... I sometimes mv everything into /usr, rm -rf /usr/X11R7 and then cd /usr; ln -s . X11R7 ... Just to avoid all the damned workarounds.

create programs ffplay and ffserver

#283 Post by WB7ODYFred »

Hello, I am reading the configure file for ffmpeg and the makefile. I am trying to build a new version of ffplay and ffserver. Can someone post
a configure command line or a make command line with the options to build a functioning ffplay and ffserver? Sorry to ask, but you made running configure easy from previous window.

thanks for your ./configure command line above. I was able to copy and paste in my terminal window and then run "make" and "make install".
Although "make check" had a error with libavutil/cabac.h and lib???/time.h
compile. "make" and "make install" did complete properly.

May "make check" error. have searched google for the below errors.
http://ffmpeg.org/faq.html#toc-error_00 ... 27asm_0027 says gcc error DONT REPORT TO ffmpeg bugs
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-89 ... art-0.html
Regardless, I suspect you're running into an old gcc bug, that's been fixed in the recent 4.5 series.
There's a note about it in one of old ffmpeg bugs.
Yes, I'm running gcc-4.3.4. So, you said I need upgrade to gcc-4.5 (4.5.1, 4.5.2 or 4.5.3) Anyway it's good idea since 4.5 support Intel Atom which is inside in my eeepc ;)
Yes, upgrade gcc to 4.5.3 solved the problem

when you run "make check" do your have errors, too? Or do you use different source base for ffmpeg?

I also had to download, compile, and install libvpx before configuring and compiling ffmpeg.

libvpx > 0.9.1

Where do these new update libraries get uploaded to, so that a non-DEVELOPER could use Puppy Package Manager to install Libpng14, Libjpeg.so.8 and many other useful libraries.


I am compiling openmovieeditor and needed a working ffmpeg libraries
ps. In addition to RoxTerm and Geany editor what other developer tools do you use?
Eclipse? Anjunta? CodeBlocks?

Should we use a newer version of GCC 4.5 in the devx_5.2.8.sfs ?
I see am using 4.4.3 version.

Fred, when i compile ffmpeg i get 1000 lines of warnings. I seldom->never run make check or make test. Why? Good questions, probably because i can not do much to fix them. The programs run anyway.

But because i had compiled ffmpeg-1.11 lately and still had the folder i couriously ran make check on it :

Fred, I don't use anything else than what you use (rox, geany), but have adjusted new2dir and dir2pet for my experiments.
But my header and supporting library structure had need to grow for 1½ years. So the configure script automatically puts things in like SDL.

*

Fred, since you refer to 528 i am guessing that you run Lupu/Lucid (while this is a Wary/Racy thread).

Fred, i am guessing, that such questions are better addressed here in the Compiling section.

Your post can be off topic. I think you are better to post a new thread somewhere.
As for the configure option for lupu, i used next options to make the ffmpeg-8.11 on lupu-528JP, based on lupu-528.005 + Pmusic_Upgrade.

Code: Select all

Thanks very much for your work on this guys.
I can now use ffconvert on my Racy installation :D
I was wondering how I can tell ffconvert to use the audio from a usb headset? I have managed to do this using ffmpeg before (with the pup_rec script), but I'd like to be able to do it within ffconvert so that I can take advantage of the other setting available ...

ffconvert is basically an av file converter. I recommend the mhWaveEdit for short time audio recording and the Bacon Recorder for long.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I am trying to make screencasts, I have go the screen-grab aspect of ffconvert working (and I like the way you can just grab one window). But I can't see how to get the input from my usb headset to become the audio track.

Using Lobster's "pup_rec" script, this works fine - so maybe I will just stick to that. :)
