To play videos with out going to X (with mplayer) you'll need to use the framebuffer or the SVGA lib as output. Using: mplayer -vo fbdev file.mpg or: mplayer -vo svga file.mpg should work from the console. mplayer -vo help gives a list of the available video output drivers. I'm not sure about other media players. Rabin -- Rabin Vincent [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There's a bug report about this problem here[1]. It's apparently related to an upgrade of libglade2-0. There's no proper solution as of now, but there is a workaround: "As a workaround, you can install a glade-2 and open and save the file /usr/share/synaptic/glade/window_main.glade" [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=288445 -- Rabin Vincent http://pandora.iu-bremen.de/~rvincent/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, I was able to make vgetty do this. This was about two years ago and I unfortunately no longer have the scripts. >From what I can recall, and seeing the man pages now, it wasn't difficult to accomplish. Actually, the Perl Modem::Vgetty module's documentation[1] has everything you need. You can use the answering machine[2] script to record your message, and then later run the callme[3] script to call a number and play it back.

Running dump2efs on the partition will give you, among other information, the block size and the journal inode. Then run debugfs on the partition, and use the command: "stat ", replacing i with the inode of the journal. This will give you the blockcount. Multiply this blockcount by the block size to get the journal size in bytes. Rabin -- http://rabin.blogspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I haven't come across a program that does this. But, here a bash
one-liner that does at least part of what you want. It should be one
big line, replace /dev/hda2 with your partition, run as root. Its
output is like:
/dev/hda2, 1024 byte/block, 16452 kb journal
--snip--
part=/dev/hda2;blocksize=`tune2fs -l $part | awk '/Block size/ {print
$3}'`;tune2fs -l $part | awk '/Journal inode/ {print $3}' | xargs -i
debugfs -R 'stat <{}>' $part 2>&1 | awk '/Blockcount/ {print $4}' |
xargs -i expr {} \* $blocksize / 1024 | xargs -i echo $part,
$blocksize byte/block, {} kb journal

Use stat or ls -lu.

The sleep function works, but the output that has been outputted with print has not been flushed. To make Perl automatically flush after every print statement, put this line in your script: $| = 1; This enables the OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH. You only need to do this once in the script. The name of the variable is just a pipe. Once you do this, the script works just as it did with the shell's sleep. > I think it is not coherent to use the sleep of the shell whereas Perl has such > function. And I tried to write this function in C to rewrite my program in > C . but the C function sleep in C works like in Perl ... Same thing with C. To make it flush, call fflush(0) after each time you call printf. Rabin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
