Do you need help?X

You shouldn't install packages with dpkg directly. Instead add a source=20
for experimental in your sources.list and use



aptitude -t experimental install locales



That is, if you want to try my solution. There is always more than one=20
way ...

Andrei

just a quick note on power supplies. Its not the total wattage that is
of concern, but how that power is distributed into the different
rails. How many watts are hitting the 3.3 volt rail, the 5 volt rail
etc. Are they split -- some have so many watts to one 5 volts rails
and another amount going to another 5 volt rail etc. Its worth the
time to figure out what you actually need for in different areas.=20



Case in point: I bought a ps for my home server about a year ago. It
carries 4 big PATA drives. All the big power supplies (you know, the big
super flashy 600W monsters) didn't supply enough power (allowing for a
reasonable margin) for PATA drives, it was mostly routed to the SATA
connectors. I ended up with a much cheaper, lower wattage ps that
happens to put the power where I *need* it.=20

Yup.  That's exactly what it's for.  It uses a technique called  
"onion routing" to create an anonymous, encrypted channel.  The  
details are beyond the scope of this message but they're described  
well on the project's website:
http://www.torproject.org/

> was curious about what it can do inside the firewall.


If you run it inside the firewall, it will be able to make outgoing  
connections but won't be able to accept incoming ones.  Unless you  
want to join the Tor network as a server, this is just fine.

Be forewarned that Tor's anonymity comes at the expense of speed.   
Your requests are being routed through at least three other systems,  
more or less randomly chosen around the world, so it can be pretty  
sluggish.


Confused? Frustrated?X

Do you know why the playlist option helps? I'm really curios since I=20
really can't see any connection (and I see the same error from time to=20
time).

The usual cure for this is to add the -playlist option:

    mplayer -playlist <file_to_play>

You do NOT need avisynth.dll.

Subject: where is the Message-ID?
Message-Id: <200711201910.lAKJAVue005759@syrano.acb.uc.edu>

I post occasionally to the mplayer forum, which is archived at:

  http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/

All posts there are done by e-mail.  When I (or a responder) posts, it shows
up there pretty fast.  Much later, I get a digest of the last few posts by
e-mail.

I prefer to use sendmail.  When I post a reply (here for example), I preserve
threading as follows.  I construct the message with mailto, manually add the
References, and send it off with sendmail.

With the mplayer forum, there's a problem.  If I wait for the digest that
arrives by e-mail, I can see the Message-ID of the last post and add it under
References to preserve threading.  However, I see no way to find the
Message-ID at the online archive.  So I can either wait a long time, or I can
screw up the threading.

Clearly other posters there have figured this out.  How do they (or their
mail programs) get a hold of the Message-IDs?  (I would ask them, but they're
not thrilled with posts that aren't directly about mplayer.)

Thanks.

Isn't that a bit cumbersome?  Consider switching your subscription to
non-digest mode.

I don't know what everybody else does, but I prefer to read large
mailing lists in a newsreader.  Gmane (http://gmane.org) is a
mail-to-news gateway that hosts 10,000 public mailing lists, and
mplayer-users is in the group gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user.  You can
also post your own articles via Gmane, if your newsreader cannot send
mail for some reason.  And, very important: Gmane preserves the original
Message-Ids and References.

Cheers,
       Sven

Good point. Grub in its menu.lst has only a few of them that I currently 
use. I don't use Raid but have 4 HDDs, 2 IDE and 2 USB, of which one is 
PATA and one is SATA.

Curious point: with this setup I have to boot grub from CD, otherwise he 
doesn't get the right menu. That happened since I installed the SATA USB.

Thanks for a good suggestion.  I found the forum but was unable to find any
way to display the Message-IDs.  Perhaps this is withheld as a way to prevent
harvesting of e-mail addresses.  I was able to find a way to reply to a post.
I tried that and it worked.

I wrote a program to keep track of what's where:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/e46065d5-2182-4d4f-8ca0-96245460e4f4/do_test_gpc_11102007

It uses fdisk to check all the partitions and then displays

1 partition devices
2 disk models+kernek versions
3 partition sizes
4 date last used
5 mount count

As you see hda10 where home is, is due for an fscheck.

AFAICT, a .pls file is a playlist file (like .asx and .asf), so mplayer
needs the playlist option to look for streams inside.
The error with avisynth.dll seems to be a generic error message.
You could try googling for 'mplayer avisynth playlist' to find some more
hints.

Is your local loopback interface up and working? Check the output of
"/sbin/ifconfig".

I have a Windows XP machine connected to the Internet and an
additional network card with a fixed IP configured (192.168.0.5). I
connected a crossover network cable to my laptop in which I installed
Debian Sarge 3.1. I configured the network in /etc/network/interfaces
passing the correct configuration for each option like static IP
192.186.0.10 gateway 192.168.0.5 and the DNS servers of my Internet
Service Provider. I can ping normally the IP 192.168.0.5 but my
browser can't navigate the web. I passed inside Mozilla's preferences
that it's a direct connection to the Internet. I even disabled Windows
XP Firewall but it seems to have no effect either. My Windows XP
machine has TrendMicro OfficeScan installed but I don't know if it
could prevent any connection through the network. I also contacted my
ISP asking if both DNS numbers were changed and they said both numbers
are still the same. What could be a possible problem and what I could
try to do to solve it?

I may be wrong but I do not think that xp can be set up as a router,
except possibly by using the share my internet connection facility.
However, I have never felt disposed to even try that.
IMO your best bet is to make a direct connection to your router from
the laptop if you possibly can.
Alternatively reverse the situation and route the xp machine through
the laptop, you will need to get a plugin nic of course.
Good luck
