SOLVED: Openbox Problem: Messed Up Video

In my new Arch install, I'm using OpenBox for the WM/DE. It looked fine before, but today when I booted and right-clicked for the menu, it was a mess. You can view the mess by clicking on this link: http://www.drlanelester.com/menuprob.jpg
After I log on to the terminal, I'm starting X with this command: xinit /usr/bin/openbox-session
As I understand it, if I use startx to start X, it will read the commands in .xinitrc. I would like that in order to start some other things. This is the .xinitrc I have:
#!/bin/sh
exec openbox-session &
exec tint2 &
exec /opt/StartStopConky.sh
But X does not start with startx. Here you can see the output: http://www.drlanelester.com/startxprob.jpg

your call to your WM should be the last call in .xinitrc. Start all the apps you want first and then at the end call your WM.
Thanks, that got X started, but messed up video similar to that shown in the top link in this thread.
I am now going to start a new thread in the Installation forum. I just made a fresh install in a separate partition and cannot get X to start.

  • Iam trying to import a short video in final cut express and I'm getting this error... File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.  How do I solve this problem? The video is on my desktop it's an mpg.

    Iam trying to import a short video in final cut express and I'm getting this error... File Error: 1 file(s) recognized. 0 access denied, 1 unknown. How do I solve this problem?  The video is on my desktop and it's an mpg file. Please help me 

    Get a copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert your MPG file to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).  In FCE, select one of the setups that uses AIC that best matches your clip (say, 1920x1080i60).  Create a new sequence, then import the converted file.
    Note that if your MPG file is actually MPEG2 you will also need the QuickTime MPEG2 Component in addition to MPEG Streamclip. 
    What was the source of the MPG file?  How about if you open it in QuickTime, then do Window > Show Movie Inspector.  Tell us what it says for codec/compression, frame size & frame rate.

  • [SOLVED] openbox problem

    hi,
    i have 2 x screens, but cant get openbox on both at the same time! i looked at the faq in the openbox wiki, but it wasn;t much help;
    How do I run Openbox across multiple X screens?
    In order to have Openbox manage multiple X screens (this is not the same as multi-monitor TwinView or Xinerama), you need to run an instance of Openbox directly on each screen. We've put work into making Openbox work well with other instances of itself, for this type of configuration.
    In order to run Openbox on two screens, use commands such as these:
    # run openbox on the second screen (they start from 0)
    DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox
    # by default openbox will run on the first screen (screen number 0)
    exec openbox-session
    i assumed that after reading this, all i need to do is put the following into my ~/.xinitrc
    DISPLAY=:0.0 openbox
    DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox
    or
    DISPLAY=:0.1 openbox
    but neither worked! what have i missed?

    ok, after re-reading all the advice, i think you have all missed the point of what i am trying to achieve!
    fluxbox, kde, gnome & xfce all achieve this 'out of the box', openbox & icewm dont!!
    i am now concentrating on openbox. i currently have my pc looking & running perfectly, but i cant fire up vlc on my tv! I have a gforce 6200 with crt connection going to a 17" crt, & a tv-out going to a 28" tv!!

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • When i play a video or movie i get a buzzing sound from the speakers. how do i solve this problem?

    I get this  buzzing sound from my speakers when I play a video, or movie either from the internet or playing a DVD. What can I do to solve this problem

    A: There is no such thing as an unlocked iPhone 3Gs in the United States. ALL iPhone 3Gs's sold in the US are locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones, therefore it is not legitimately unlocked.
    B: Sprint is a CDMA network as others have mentioned. They do NOT use SIM cards. The iPhone 3Gs will NEVER work on Sprint. Ever. It's not physically possible.
    Either your Uncle misunderstood or he was mislead. Send it back and tell him to get his money back. Buy an iPhone in India from a supported carrier.

    You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

  • [Solved] Minimalist setup with no video tearing

    Hello all,
    I maybe jumping the gun a bit here (as I still have other issues with flash and can't really test properly - see here), but here goes.
    After lots of reading and experimenting, I came to the conclusion that I really like the minimalistic approach of using Openbox and adding stuff as I need (Tint2 etc.).
    However, It also came clear pretty soon that should I want to make things look a bit nicer (that is, using some sort of composite manager), I will most likely end with screen tearing to some degree, using one of the non-opengl composite managers (xcompmgr, cairo commgr, compton).
    That is when I came across the option of using Compiz as a standalone WM, with no DE, which should solve the problem of tearing and still remain pretty minimalistic.
    Compiz, however, if I understand correctly, is going through some development "difficulties" this days (mainly used in-house by Ubuntu).
    Bottom line, my options, as I'm aware of, are:
    1. Openbox + no composite manager - should have no tearing, as minimalistic as it gets, a bit rough.
    2. Openbox + some composite manager (most likely compton) - will probably have tearing, still minimalistic, a bit nicer.
    3. Compiz 0.8.8 from repos - not sure, actually, except from the fact that I will probably not have video tearing and that it's a bit outdated as the 0.9.x line is considered stable by Canonicial.
    4. Compiz 0.9.7 (or 0.9.x should I feel adventurous) - I think I've read somewhere the 0.9.x line isn't really suited to be used as a standalone WM, something to do with the absence of Emerald (not too sure, though).
    Any input regarding those 4 options is highly appreciated, Adam.

    Doesn't matter what video card you have. OpenGL is OpenGL. Older cards support older versions of it, but it should still be enough for basic desktop effects.
    I was thinking of using a script that kills (or pauses) the composite manager if the media player window is fullscreen, since video tearing is more noticeable in fullscreen videos than windowed. Maybe adapt this script? Bah. I'm too lazy... Right now I can't be bothered with eye-candy. I used to have the tint2 clock set to right click and left click. One killed xcompmgr and refreshed the desktop and the other one started it, and restarted tint2 (for the true transparency to kick in). It's doable but I kinda gave up on it and went with vanilla Openbox + pseudo-transparency in tint2, guake and aterm because that's the only 3 programs that I wanted transparency in. And I can live without shadows. Easier on the resources too.

  • After updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google,yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. How can solve this problem?

    after updating to Firefox 7.0.1, menu bar for Google(web ,image,video,map etc),yahoo, Facebook (message,notification,profile,home) and others site are disabled. even I cant log out from different sites cz the log out bar is completely disabled. I tried with Firefox 4;5 and 6, same problem exist . I tried by active all add ons for facebook, same problem exist. If I use internet explorer , I don't find such problem with it.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Problem with Flash video/dropdowns in Mozilla

    Am trying to add a flash video to a webpage using a
    Dreamweaver extension called Active Slideshow Pro by DMXZone.
    The page can be viewed: www.faith.org.uk/Testindex.html
    In IE7 it works fine. The video shows and the dropdowns of
    the menu work correctly.
    In Mozilla Firefox the video works but the dropdowns do not
    show.
    If I remove the block of coding which is generated by the
    DMXZone extension:
    <object
    classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
    width="514" height="129" id="testshow" align="middle">
    <param name="FlashVars"
    value="xmlFile=testshow.xml&preloaderBackColor=0x0099FF&preloaderBorderColor=0xCCCCCC"
    />
    <param name="movie" value="slideshowpro.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="best" />
    <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
    <embed src="slideshowpro.swf" id="testshow"
    wmode="transparent" quality="best"
    flashvars="xmlFile=testshow.xml&preloaderBackColor=0x0099FF&preloaderBorderColor=0xCCCCCC "
    scale="noscale" bgcolor="#000000"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="514" height="129"
    pluginspage="
    http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
    />
    </object>
    The page works in both browsers and the menu dropdowns appear
    correctly.
    I would be most grateful for anyone's advice on this.

    A discussion with Adobe support lends the idea that MPEG
    layer 4 might be an issue. That since these videos come from DVD
    perhaps encoded with MPEG layer 4 that that could be the reason tha
    all of them have this problem. (Some were done using AVI - I have
    to check and see if that makes a difference)
    BUT
    According to the PDF from Adobe Design - Flash Video Encoder
    Wizard - By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
    Flash should be able to convert an MPEG4 file. (Well it does
    but they all stop after 30 sec.) Now how do I solve this problem?
    All the videos still stop after 30 sec.s

    Flash Video Encoder Wizard
    By Tom Green and Jordan L. Chilcott
    The first thing you have to understand about the use of video
    in Flash® is the original
    video must be converted to a format Flash can read. This
    format is FLV (Flash Video)
    and you can either use Flash, the Flash Video Encoder, or
    third-party software to
    create the FLV file. If you use video-editing software such
    as Adobe® After Effects®,
    you can also export the file as a FLV file. If you are a
    Dreamweaver® user, the current
    version of Dreamweaver—Dreamweaver 8—contains a
    feature that allows you to add
    an FLV at the click of a button.
    The purpose of the Encoder, therefore, is to convert the
    video file to the FLV format.
    When you installed Flash Professional 8, the Flash Video
    Encoder application was
    also installed on your machine. If you also have QuickTime,
    Adobe After Effects,
    Avid Studio, or Final Cut Pro installed on your machine,
    they, too, were given the
    capability to use the Encoder when it was installed.
    If you will be converting a video to the FLV format, the
    video must be in one of
    these formats:
    • AVI—Audio Video Interleave
    • MOV—QuickTime 4 or later
    • MPEG—Motion Picture Experts Group

  • Start-up problems with no video

    I have an HP Pavillion DV9000 and it is constantly powering on and off before an image even appears. I cannot get a screen to even appear with the F11 key interupt. I;m wandering if I have a video card issue or a boot up problem.  I have no recovery disk either.

    According to the message you have recently posted I would like to confirm that this could be a hardware issue and I strongly recommend you to immediately Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance without any delay to get your Notebook diagnosed and serviced by an authorized HP Certified Engineer
