I've just done a search on apachecorp.com and brings up a website for a petroleum research company in Australia? It looks a fake to me.

Welcome to MUB. When you say fx520 do you mean the Nvidia fx520? Also could you please elaborate on what you want to do with the drivers? Then we can perhaps point you in the right direction.

This is my fstab /dev/hdb5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb6 /bigun ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrom2 auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 none /media/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=ut f8,sync 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,nls=utf8,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /spare ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb8 swap swap defaults 0 0 and I have access as a normal user no problems. I've not tried writing to it but I can certainly read from it.

As by way of a question, is my knowledge of how sound systems work out of date now? Is it software that controls whether the sound is sent to the headphones or to the speakers?

As I understand things it points to a hardware problem, as in the connection to the sound card. I'm certainly interested to learn how alsa controls whether the audio is routed through the speakers or the headphones. Surely plugging in a set of headphones operates a mechanical jack plug socket to cut off the speakers and connect the headphones, or am I not up to speed with things these days? :huh:

I would be inclined to create a new qdvdauthor.xml via the gui as it seems from your output, using the command line, it is trying to update your source from NTSC to PAL. Alos it should integrate the new silence sound file. Keep at it you are nearly there.

cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/qdvdauthor/silence.mp2': No such file or directory INFO: [mplex] mplex version 1.8.0 (2.2.4 $Date: 2005/08/28 17:50:54 $) **ERROR: [mplex] Unable to open file /video/tmp/land/Chapter 9-12/menu.mp2 for reading. /video/tmp/execute.sh: line 3: /video/tmp/land/Chapter 9-12/menu.mpg: No such file or directory The first error which results in the following. STAT: Processing /video/tmp/land/Chapters 1-4_menu.mpg... ERR: Error opening /video/tmp/land/Chapters 1-4_menu.mpg: No such file or directory You would seem to be missing the 'silence.mp2' file. Try a search for it or make one. If I remember correctly I had one but it was in the wrong directory!? The AUDIO_TS directory on mine is always empty, maybe because I am not processing a separate sound track.

Sorry I forgot you had NTSC. Just alter any sizes to match what you need. The post process is not essential but I found it gave a better result. I've no idea why you should get empty folders. You can watch the output from qdvdauthor and maybe there will be a clue.

Oh dear! I don't understand why you have so much trouble. Here is my entire process. From tv capture to producing a dvd. mencoder -tv driver=v4l2:input=1:width=768:height=576 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=350:vhq:vqmax=31:keyint=300 -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=48 -vf crop=720:540:24:18,pp=lb,scale=384:288 -endpos 01:00:00 -sws 1 -o output.avi tv:// kdenlive cut out all the adverts -> render to mpeg high quality 720 x 576 dvd size....... Post process with :- mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 -o output.mpg output.mpeg qdvdauthor to create the dvd with menus and such. Burn with K3b It works a treat.

Best of luck, I've been playing about with two progs. One is kdenlive to put together a series of clips and encode them into dvd files. Along with QdvdAuthor for mastering. As yet I have not succeeded with QdvdAuthor. Kdenlive is a breeze although some features are not fully working yet.

Dunno about the card, are you able to record any sound from any source? and of course play it back. xvidcap is quite neat and flexible.

May I suggest trying xvidcap. I've been playing around with it to create a dvd. If that fails on sound well I'm at a loss as to what is wrong. Sorry.

If it's any consolation I can get a reasonable result with :- mencoder tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:input=1:norm=pal:harddup:width=240:height=176:volume=30 -of mpeg -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vrc_buf_size=327:vrc_minrate=1152:vrc_maxrate=1152:vbitrate=1152:keyint=15:acodec=mp2:vbitrate=1152 -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=ac3:abitrate=96: -o record.mpg Although you will need to change norm=pal to norm=ntsc but everything else should be ok.

Looks to me as though you have no audio codec in your command?

Your sample looks like de-interlacing. How to get round it I'm afraid I don't know but, it may give fuel for thought.

Glad you got it sorted, we never stop learning. I think the way you found the answer is in my tagline somewhere. :P

What you do need to understand is you are not simply installing a piece of software you are compiling software prior to installing it. Very different. Anyway the first output(s) as it says are warnings and scribus will carry on regardless. QT problem tells you to look at the end of the config.log. This will have been created in the directory you are compiling from. Take a look at it and it will give you clues. Also the ./cofigure is telling it needs the (headers and libraries). You say you installed all the development packages you could find, may be you need sdk's, or qtlib packages.This is where the learning comes in. Look at the log file and I'll bet you find the answer in there.

To help you help yourself you need to read the output of the ./configuration script and see what is missing. As a hint it states :- checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for g++... no checking for c++... no checking for gpp... no checking for aCC... no checking for CC... no checking for cxx... no checking for cc++... no checking for cl.exe... no checking for FCC... no checking for KCC... no checking for RCC... no checking for xlC_r... no checking for xlC... no checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables This is telling you that it has no way of compiling the files, and that is only your configuration. Start at the top of the output and deal with the errors and you will find the error list will get smaller and your knowledge will grow. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but if you are going to compile then you need to know how to.

Seeing as you keep getting the same results i.e. printer busy it would suggest you have some jobs stuck in a queue or something. If you haven't already done so it may by an idea to uninstall cups, delete the cups directory from /etc and delete any installed printers. Re-install cups and your printer(s) using the ppd files offered in Mandriva and using the cups web interface (localhost:631). After a COLD reboot, just to clear any queues etc. It sounds a big ordeal but as you will know it's not a lot of work really. As I said in my first reply I chased down the exact problem you are experiencing, except for the printer busy, and spent a number of hours chasing my own tail. Cups and network printer setup really does work. ;)

Is the space in the directory name there by design or a slip up in your typing? Linux doesn't work to well with spaces.

You could try a different protocol maybe.

I have just finished chasing this very same problem and my solution was to install webmin and set up the printers from there. However the only changes I could find that webmin made that MCC didn't was the following in /etc/cups/printers.conf <Printer HPCLJet2600n> Info HP Color LaserJet 2600n Location [i][b]DeviceURI socket://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9100[/b][/i] <------ State Idle StateTime 1178972477 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy retry-job After that manual change it all works fine. You could always try http://localhost:631 Which should bring up the cups web interface, and install from there. I just remembered that one. Hope that helps.

Maybe this topic will help you. https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtop...st&p=310735

Is there anything reported in your syslog or any other log that might give you/us a clue?

Seems to me that you are possibly opening your system to unintentional abuse. As Paul says the MX records are not available to your 'localhost' This is a safety precaution put in place from your internet provider. You will have to provide a 'fully qualified host address. That is you have to use your Internet Providers mailserver. I think I'm on the right track here. :unsure:
