Radeon on linux 3.10 UVD problem

I have AMD HD7640G and AMD HD7670M in my laptop. When Arch release linux 3.10, the first thing I do is trying the new UVD feature.
But i can not use UVD/vdpau to accelerate a mp4 test video. Use -vo vdpau can not reduce cpu useage.
dmesg | grep -e radeon -e drm

You could use the mesa-git packages (There is even an unsigned unsigned repository)
Edit: Some feedback. MPEG and WMV3 produced a black image (Mobility Radeon HD 54XX series), both H-264 samples worked from this list:

thanks for the quick fix. but after we started installing the new client 6.30rev10 on the first user machines, complaints started coming in rather fast ->
it seems that in certain windows that tab-key doesnt work properly anymore. it doesnt jump from entry field to entry field anymore.
example -> transaction fb50 (Enter G/L account document)
in the fields at the top (date, reference currency) the tab works as expected.
but down in the details... it doesnt work at all, the cursor is simply gone. you have to click with the mouse in to each field to enter data.
we started with a clean settings file, tried various preferences settings in the client. no luck.
also it seems that in the preferences of the client "auto select text in insert mode" doesnt work anymore. no matter what is set there, when using the insert mode, the text is not selected.
these problems appear on machines running 10.3.9, but it doesnt matter if the Java Security update from earlier this week is installed or not, the same effect.
hmmm, did i miss some setting somethere to get this working again?
thanks

I am currently using the legacy catalyst drivers + Xorg 1.12. It works, but it has its own set of issues (eg. screenshots not working on KDE)
Is there a easy fix for this so that I can use the open source drivers for my old ATI card or is it a kernel bug and needs to be reported upstream?

Hi,
Although I'm a Ubuntu user, not Arch Linux's, but I had the same issue.
Passing radeon.dpm=0 solved the issue (as workaround).
Thank you so much for great information.
# radeon.runpm=0 doesn't solve the issue. Yeah, I firstly thought that this issue was related with acpi; I really had to use acpi=off.
[Edit]
My machine is AMD A8-6500 + MSI A78M-E35.
Without radeon.dpm=0, my machine reboots suddenly rather than blackout.
I have big difficulty of debugging.

Linux.32bit.Cyrillic encoding problem.

Hi!
In flash player 10 under Linux 32-bit v.10.0.22 (Slackware-current, if it helps) there is a problem with displaying cyrillic fonts.
It could be solved by changing system encoding from default UTF-8 to ru_RU.CP-1251. But it is a great headache, you know.
Hope this will be fixed soon. Besides, this problem is known to me since flash player v.9. And this wasn't fixed yet.
I don't know if there is a bug-tracker here... I didn't found one.
Thank you.

WindowsLookAndFeel on Linux : BIG and complete PROBLEM

Hello,
I have implemented a GUI application with the windows look and feel. I work under Linux with the jdk 1.3 and eclipse.
To run my application with the windows lf, I add the following lines in my code :
System.setProperty("os.name","Not Windows");
try {
     UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new WindowsLookAndFeel());
} catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
          SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(getRootPane());
In Eclipse, it works well, but an execution from the line command in a Xterm generate the following exception :
java.lang.NumberFormatException: multiple points
     at java.lang.FloatingDecimal.readJavaFormatString(FloatingDecimal.java:1073)
     at java.lang.Float.valueOf(Float.java:186)
     at com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel.initialize(WindowsLookAndFeel.java:108)
It seems that the problem is caused by the following line :
System.getProperty("os.name","Not Window");
the system property os.name is parsed as a float.
what can I do to run my application with the windows lf and under linux ?
any help will be helpful
Regards,
Anne

for this (System.setProperty("MyFalseOpsSys","Not Windows")). I wonder what use you have for it since you force the Windows L&F anyway?

any help will be helpful Maybe find a JRE which supports it natively. Or, if you are very lucky, extract the relevant classes and resources from the JAR of a Windows JRE (in Sun's rt.jar, com/sun/java/swing/plaf/windows/) and put them into some independent JAR you add to your Linux classpath. For better luck, use the very same version for both JRE. Pray that there are no native methods involved.

Solman 4.0 Linux Oracle Install - Label Problem

Hi All,
I'm trying to install SOLMAN 4.0 on Linux x86_64 with Oracle.
I have selected a UNICODE install, but when it comes time to specify the media location I get a message stating that it found label....
SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL: <etc>
but that it needs....
SAP:AKK:700:KERNEL: <etc>
On the flip-side, if I attempt installing NON-UNICODE (by not putting the check in the 'unicode' checkbox) I get the message stating that it found label:
SAP:AKK:700:KERNEL: <etc>
but that it needs....
SAP:AKK:700:UKERNEL: <etc>
Am I crazy (don't answer that)????
Has anyone else expericenced this? Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Any help is appreciated!
Best Regards,
Than Martens

Than,
Did you ever find a resolution to this issue.
We are experiencing the same problem on a Linux x86-64 server attempting to install Netweaver.
Thanks

RH Linux and AQ performance problem

I am running RH Linux 7.1 with Oracle 8.1.7. My web application
works fine until a specific point when I begin using AQ. Part of
the AQ initialization in my application is to create 8 DB
connections which pole the DB every 500 ms. These connections
cause the web application to begin processing extremely slowly
(about 30 seconds between pages). There has been a proposal that
this might be due to a Linux threading issue. Any ideas?
As a side note, I first noticed the problem after recreating a DB
with the JServer option included (as I am writing Java stored
procedures too). To eliminate this from concern I have executed
jvmrm.sql to remove the java classes in the database. My
original problems continues to exist.
Thanks,
David

I am assuming you are polling the database for messages in
queues to be dequeued every few seconds on these eigh
connections.
Suggestions -
a) why don't use notification mechanism and let the database
tell you if there is a message for you to dequeue.
b) why do you need eight connections?

OWB 11g on Linux 64-bit security problem

Hello guys,
Our database (11.1.0.7.0) is under Linux 64-bit. Is there any way to start embedded OWB (which is part of the database install) from a different OS user than the owner of the Oracle binaries ?
Due to the VERY slow response time, it is not practical for us to use an OWB standalone Windows version as a client to connect to the repository installed on Linux; so, the only option is to have the OWB client on the same machine as database. But this means to give developers access to the Linux box (using VNC), using the OS user who owns Oracle binaries; this is a very serious security threat, as they, for example, can connect as SYSDBA into db.
When we were using 10g (database + OWB), it was possible to install OWB on the same box as db, but in a different OS user (not in dba group) and to access design repository/control center. For 10g it was released a 64-bit version of OWB. It's not the case with 11g. Also, support told us that it isn't supported to use 32-bit OWB binaries installed on 64-bit Linux.
Any inputs are appreciated.
Regards.

I donot know whether i understood your problem correctly or not but.
i donot understant the point
But this means to give developers access to the Linux box (using VNC), using the OS user who owns Oracle binaries; this is a very serious security threat, as they, for example, can connect as SYSDBA into db."Previously, each Oracle Database utilized as a repository for this product required a user with SYSDBA privileges. Beginning in this release, this is no longer required. A schema OWBSYS is created while installing Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1). OWBSYS holds the metadata which is divided into workspaces. To start using Warehouse Builder, you just need to create a new workspace. You do not need SYSDBA privileges"

Linux 920 Database Disk1 Problems

Hi
After spending nearly 3 days downloading 9i for linux I ended up with Disk1 being a corrupted gzip.... Very annoying. Don't know whether this was my problem or not, but now I can't download lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz again with resume supported. disk2 and disk3 are fine!
Any ideas to a frustrated user without broadband!!!??
Cheers
Chris

This problem doesn't just occur on Linux. I have encountered the same on both Digital Unix and HP/UX. I finally gave up and told it to just create the scripts. Looking at the scripts, there are a number of different problems depending on the items that you choose to install and/or customizations to db setup, such as size and placing of files.
To find them, I generated the scripts and then looked at the contents and used svrmgrl to individually run commands so that I could see the "real" error message.
It's been awhile but I think the not logged on was a failure in the initial create database command... Or maybe it was the MAX_ENABLED_ROLES being too small in the default init file to support some of the products... Or the rollback segments being created as private and not being automatically added to the init before the assistant does a shutdown and restart... Or it creating the rollback segment tablespace not the size and parameters that I requested...
You may guess by now I wasn't too impressed by the dbassist program. All I can say is doesn't anyone believe in testing anymore? I have a hard time believing that anyone at Oracle actually tested running this product and actually using any of it's features.
This really pissed me off because when I first saw the pretty GUI and nice interface I thought WOW, this is great, finally something to make database creation simpler than running all those commands and scripts.

OmniPortlet, Linux and graphs a problem?

I have the OmniPortlet working under Linux and made a tab report against emp. Worked fine.
I then set the style to chart instead. Now I cant press OK on the portlet definition page or edit or view the page. I just get "Internal server error".
In the portalTools application log file i get:

Sorry for the delay, I couldn't access the server any sooner.
Which version of OmniPortlet are you using ?Version: 9.0.2.6.1 June 27 2003
In the config page it says that DISPLAY is not configured.
I've set it for OC4J_Portal in $MID_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml. I've also set it in $MID_HOME/portal/902dcm/opmn.xml and in $MID_HOME/portal/9023dcm/opmn.xml.
I ran dcmctl updateConfig and restarted the midtier but it's still "not configured" in the config page.
The application.log also complain about the DISPLAY not being set.
Any suggestions? Are there other files?
My sysadmin has said DISPLAY should be localhost:1.0
The data is just ename and salary from scott.emp but it must be the DISPLAY that's causing my problems.

Radeon X1900 and mac pro graphics problems

Hi all,
i've a mac pro with two xeon cpu's (2,66GHz) in it. 2GB main memory and a radeon X1900 graphics card. on this mac i use bootcamp beta 1.4, installed the newest driver for this version from the apple support side. also i have updated the graphics FW to the newest version. so all things are on up to date.
my problem is the following: if I play some very graphics intensiv games like STALKER or BIOSHOCK (yes i use my mac for works and sometimes to play), it seems that the graphics card will be to hot. I get a lot of pixel errors. horiz. lines and after a while windows xp is freezeing. so I must reboot the maschine. also VPU recovery comes up.
I've tried several settings (800x600/1024x768/until maximum). 2-3 minutes the game is running well. after that my fans spin up like a plane, get the errors on the pixel side and the game crashes or windows xp is freezing.
i don't know any solution yet. can anyone help me? have some others the same problem?
many thanks
Andy

Hi There,
I was having the exact same problem playing command and conquer 3 in Win XP. I'd play for about 5 minutes or so with the fans spinning at full speed (sounding like the mac was about to 'takeoff'), and then it would just crash.
I followed the advice here, took the graphics card out, clean the dust out and hey presto, the problem was fixed! My MacPro is about 6 months and i was surprised how much dust had got clogged up in there!

Canon LBP6000/Linux/Drivers/CUPS/Installation Problems/Help

I'm working on installing these drivers, http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/laser_printers/imageclass_lbp... the "CAPT Printer Driver for Linux Version 2.60". My distribution is Arch Linux, and my print software is CUPS. I've been at it for a couple of days now, and am pretty familiar with with all the terms, variables, and commands; I think the main problem is that some of my command line settings and other random printer options/preferences are filled in with the wrong choices.
Anyone wanna help me sort this out?

Hi Suzanne,
I'm also based in Hong Kong with the exact same printer I bought from Broadway the other day. I had the same problem as you describe when I tried to install it earlier tonight, but now I've got it working.
Once you have the driver installed and the printer connected and turned on, open any printable document, then:
File > Print
Choose "Add Printer..." in the Printer dropdown menu
You will see LBP6000/LBP6018 in the box that appears. Ignore it. Instead, click on "More printers..." in the bottom left corner of the same box.
Another box will appear with a dropdown menu at the top, giving you two choices. Choose "CANON USB (CUPS CAPT)," which will give you the model number again. Click on it, then "Add," and voila!
Hopefully, this will save you the angst you will likely suffer from calling customer support (funny how that has become an oxymoron...)

ATI Radeon 9600 and PowerMac G4 QuickSilver - problem

Hi guys!
Sorry for the big amount of posts but I have yet another problem.
Yesterday I replaced the stock Nvidia GeForce2 MX in my QuickSilver with an OEM ATI Radeon 9600 128MB from my G5. I taped the pins 3 and 11 and the card worked immediately.
After using the Mac a bit, I noticed that the graphic performances are pretty much exactly the same as before. I installed Leopard and I got the translucent menubar, but the graphic performances are terrible (seems exactly as bad as the GeForce).
Does anyone have the same issue? Here is a screenshot from System Profiler in both Tiger and Leopard:
And here are some Xbench scores (the same card in the G5 scored about 121 points):

The DP800 shoild help, especiall the 1 MB L3 per CPU, but the Bus speed is still a bottleneck.
Overall, the Geekbench scores almost doubled, from 372 on the 733, to 670 on the DP800, which was mostly CPU not Graphics improvement, but you should see some.
I only have Xbench results for my QS2001 with upgraded CPUs to 1.47 DP/7455s & an MX2 it seems...

I re-copied the zip contents to my web root, and now it's
working, for whatever reason.

Radeon 9600 Pro MAC/PC resolution problem

I am trying to use this card with a 30" Apple display and can only get 1280 x 800 resolution which is horrible as you could imagine. I have also load the most recent ATI drivers. I am running a G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz on Mac OS 10.4.11. Thanks in advance.

I have been having the Exact Same Problem. I have two ViewSonic VA903b Monitors and an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC&Mac Edition installed in my G5 PPC. I used to have the standard Nvidia card installed, but replaced it because I wanted a dual monitor setup. It's worked fine with no issues at all since. I recently reinstalled Leopard (up to date) on my mac and now it won't recognize any screen resolution other than 1280x800 which is not what I'm after at all. I have tried downloading the drivers from here:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/macosx10-4x-3x-radeon.aspx
This does install the ATI Control Panel, but most, if not all of the options are grayed out and unavailable. I must also note that I am using two DVI>VGA Connectors for my Monitors. This was not a problem before I reinstalled Leopard, so I know that it must be a drivers issue- I hope. When I reinstalled Leopard, the Main Screen was all gray and nearly illegible, but I was able to perform a fresh install of the OS. I am wondering if the mac needs to have the ViewSonic Monitor plugged directly into the Card, as it was originally before upgrading to the ATI card? If this is true, I do not have the old card anymore. Any ideas?
