| karsten | FatalErrorX: current ballpark looks like Apri/May 2007 |
| Sazpaimon | so when I try to compile certain things I get ": multiple definition of `__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx'" errors It's happened with a few things so far |
| FatalErrorX | thanks karsten |
| Sazpaimon | is this a common thing in debian? |
| Guerin | Sazpaimon: ask in the channel of whatever language it's in |
| Sazpaimon | Guerin, I checked on google and noticed that it's mostly debian having this issue |
| mezmiro | Guerin: Okay, I'm going to try 1152x864 first and see how it goes. |
| Sazpaimon | so i figured it'd be best to ask people that were having this issue |
| Guerin | Sazpaimon: so you already know the answer to your question. Now go ask if people know how to fix it. |
| mezmiro | Guerin: That is a bit better.. Interesting. |
| Guerin | heh i found all this shit out when trying to use a celeron 450 as a video-playing box |
| mezmiro | lol |
| Guerin | it worked fine until x264 took hold |
| mezmiro | Yeah I've heard lots of bad things about x264 |
| Guerin | mostly from haters |
| mezmiro | lol Probably. |
| Guerin | it's an awesome codec, it really has superb quality per size it's just a bit young |
| mezmiro | Hmm..so I guess it's even newer to Linux then? |
| Guerin | well, not really it was first implemented by apple, for a while it was known as `quicktime format' |
| Sazpaimon | Guerin, it looks like the solution is to upgrade to gcc 4.0, which i did, but gcc -v is still returning 3.3 |
| mezmiro | Wow, quicktime.. |
| Guerin | Sazpaimon: change the gcc symlink |
| Sazpaimon | oh right |
| mezmiro | I never would have guessed. |
| Sazpaimon | i would have thought apt would have changed that, heh |
| Guerin | the windows/linux implementation is x264 more properly, the non-crapple implementation is x264 |
| mezmiro | Guerin: Any idea what happens with MPlayer when it gave me those errors before? Guerin: The "error opening/initializing -vo device" etc etc. That happens when I use the GUI for MPlayer, but it works fine from bash. |
| Guerin | mezmiro: you probably have the wrong -vo output set as default. change it in .mplayyer.rc or whatever it's called |
| hark | or in preferences->video or something |
| amphi | mezmiro: echo vo=xv >> ~/.mplayer/config mezmiro: or whatever driver you like |
