[Bug 304887] Re: Cannot transcode to mp2v/mp4v

2008-12-10 Thread Brett A. Taylor
I agree. The vlc package provided is quite useless for me. I use vlc with the telnet interface with mvpmc to transcode divx on the fly to mpeg to stream to my Hauppage MediaMVP set-top box. I get a similar error. [0404] telnet interface: using the VLM interface plugin... [0404] telnet inte

I can also confirm this problem. Temporarily removing /etc/init.d/mdadm- raid seems to have worked fine for me as well. I suggest this get marked with a higher priority. -- Upgrading mdadm package is impossible - can't upgrade while raid arrays active https://launchpad.net/bugs/60623 -- ubuntu

+5 I agree. This is very annoying for Firefox users on KDE. I just spent an hour searching for a Firefox b5 theme that would make Firefox less ugly. Note I'm not using KDE4 (I'm 3.5.9 -- I just upgraded to hardy). I've attached a screenshot that shows why it's so ugly. The bottom of the tab bar i

2008-05-04 Thread Brett A. Taylor
I thought I would follow up (better late than never...) Turns out my D-Link switch was on the fritz and auto negotiation randomly started failing. There's no other explanation for it. I bought a new switch and all my problems went away. My comments above can be ignored. -- Gutsy Beta: Ethernet i

Is this still an issue for you? I am experiencing very similar symptoms (likely the same cause) with my Intel card. Same messages in /var/log/messages. The link just goes up/down constantly. I can trace it going up and down with repeated calls to ethtool eth0 and watching the "Link detected" line

This is crazy. After unloading SuperKaramba, my problem has also gone away. I guess bug 109507 is the key. At least I have a work-around for the time being with that bug... Thanks for updating this bug with the details. I bet there are a lot of people suffering from this not realising the relation

I ditched Beryl because it's a little too unstable for my liking at this time, especially with dual displays. Back to getting frequent hangs in X. I ran gdb and did a couple back traces: (gdb) bt #0 0x0809c8d4 in DeletePassiveGrabFromList () #1 0x08092cc5 in ProcUngrabButton () #2 0x08142531 in
