Isn't QT4 a PET in LH64/FATDOG Repo?

Isn't QT4 a PET in LH64/FATDOG Repo?

Yes, but its not the full development package. I think it still has qt-creator, but it doesnt have all the add-ons or extensions or sources. Which makes sense since the full QT dev package is well over 1gb.

TazOC,
I've noticed a bug popping up every once in a while. /usr/libexec/gam_server will start to run really hard, and when it does several things happen.
1) In Openbox, the click menu causes X to lock up.
2) Unable to start XFCE
3) Unable to start KDE
4) Unable to start JWM.
5) Only Openbox and LXDE will load.
6) If you kill -9 on gam_server it will respawn. (I dont know what's spawning it)

I was able to resolve it by running: killall gam_server

This doesnt happen often, but when it does its kinda annoying. I just have to crtl-alt-backspace to kill X and then run killall from the command line and then xwin to log back in.

re. "Avidemux 2.5.6"

Is it typical to build fixed frames , e.g. a text frame or fixed image, for a video editing project in something like MTPaint or Gimp?

They would be displayed in between video clips.

I presume that I would either repeat the frame or tell the editor to pause on it for a few seconds?

EDIT: Just found this & it's printing as I type this ...

Avidemux2 will not allow me to import a mp3 or wav audio file.

I have followed the wiki instructions.

I tried running a mp3 through Audacity to export as a wav - per their wiki instructions - and that was a fail.

Has anyone had success with this in LH64-602b, please?

[gcmartin]

@TaZoC and @eDoc, there is a newer version of AviDemux. Don't know if it addresses the audio issue of a Picture in the video, but "may". Someone in the community may need to build a PET for testing, assuming it can be tested in the existing LH602.

Also, anyone interested,AviDemux has a forum where operational questions can be raised, also..

Hope this helps

I have joined the Forum.

Right now I'm trying to sort out how to add multiple text frames (created in mtpaint and saved as png).

I have a Project with 60 frames of an airplane about to land.

BTW: Why is it so hard for the app to just offer a Time option? I should be able to add an image and specify that it should be held on the screen for xx seconds.

Anyhow ...

I need to add 60 frames of a text message saying "Welcome to Statesboro, GA, USA!"

When I open the Project and go to the last Frame, #60, then Append and select "welcometoga1.png" it is added as Frame # 61.

However, if I try to add multiple additional Frames Avidemux2 v. 2.5.6 crashes.

I just discovered that if I create a second Project containing 60 Frames of "welcometoga1.png" then Save As Multiple JPEGS then Open the first Project and Append to the end it works. (Not terribly intuitive.)

Next to add video clips and then sort out the audio problem ...

According to this forum thread elsewhere Avidemux 2.5.6 may be broken on the audio side -- which may explain my day-long frustration trying to get it to recognize the audio associated with the video.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36430

The source file comes from a Canon camcorder which generated a .MOD file in which VLC identifies the audio as AC3 (a52) stereo 48000Hz bitrate 256kbs.

Welcome edoc; Depends what you are working with.
Avidemux worked great editing vob files ( mp2 ).
But not editing the files after they were converted to x264 ( mp4 ).

### NOTE: Lighthouse would not make a Save file for me either.

I listed the Audio codec, here's the Video (also per VLC):

MPEG-1/2 video (mpvg)
720 x 480
Frame Rate 59.940060
Decoded Format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV

Hello,

A lot of applications are very ugly in KDE, especially applications Puppy.

What can I do ?

Thanks

I'm sorry that no one can answer me..

I'm sorry that no one can answer me..

sorry I would but I run openbox window manager.

I don't know what you mean "ugly" since "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

I see an operating system and apps as purely utilitarian - I don't care what they look like so long as they are efficient to use and get the job done effectively.

IMHO, YMMV ...

Hi Senza Vega; When I first started messing with Linux I used KDE.
But now I avoid the "big boys", Gnome and KDE. Bloated and don`t offer much that`s new.
I`ve always liked Xfce and Lxde looks very good also, maybe better than Xfce.

You need to describe what your problem looks like for us to help.
Is it color, the way the controls look, or something else?

Thank you !
My problem is resolved !

Thank you, I laughed a lot, and it is always good for health !

If you saw my all-steel house (studs, siding, & roof), and knew my somewhat artistic & traditional wife, you'd laugh even harder as to my utilitarian perspective vs her preference for pretty and traditional.

It does look nicer on the inside - where we live - than the outside where the bugs live.

I don't want to see it, thanks

The avidemux.org Forum is all-but useless -- a few views of posts but rare helpful posts -- none despite three efforts to add information to my request for help.

Yesterday I had success building a project with an audio-video clip then a file containing 60 copies of a fixed image.

It broke when I added a second audio-video clip at the end.

Today when I try the audio-video clip with the 60 image file it errors-out when it gets to the file that worked fine yesterday.

I haven't changed anything on this laptop & have all auto-updates turned off (or at least I think I do).

Here's a PupSnap of the error:

Any idea how I get Gtkam, or some other app, to recognize a Sony HDR-CX380 camcorder?

It's not listed in Gtkam - I tried MTP and it failed as well.

I tried all of the USB options and it "could not initialize".

It would be nice to be able to pull clips off the SD card via a USB cable while in the camera rather than always having to remove the SD card and mount it on my laptop.

WDYT?
