Hi,
I like VLC as it goes straight to movies, and avoids pesky trailers etc.
However the Sqeeze model gives no video, maybe they took the codecs out of it?
I then tried the unstable Sid model, and it worked, but in Kanotix, it would not close and stopped logout or shutdown.
The Sid model runs OK in Debian Squeeze, so something stops Sid things working properly in Kanotix, I wonder what.
I had to uninstall it and also uninstall VLC-nox.

Hi ElZorro,

you can also use a self-compiled VLC in your home directory. Kano offers a nice script to automated the whole process. You can find all instructions in IRC with !vlc.

Hi thanks TheOne
but why do not Sid packages work, when they do in Debian squeeze, guess Kanotix is a different beast really, and the packages are too.,
Yet unlike ubuntu that is forked, apt in squeeze usually handles unstable bleeding edge packages, and many run a mix of stable/ unstable.
Curious.

I try to avoid the installation of sid packages. In case of VLC I wouldn't use the sid package because it is an older VLC version (1.1.7) than the one I get with Kano's VLC script (it compile the latest git version, currently 1.2).

As long as testing was squeeze you could in theory mix squeeze + sid, but that's definitely NOT the purpose of Kanotix. I only use selected backports together with Debian stable, currently squeeze. But for vlc i have got a script, use it and be happy. Visit irc and ask the bot about !vlc .

Hi Kano
Don't like IRC, it invades ones computer and is not confidential at all..

Not my problem. I see no reason to update the same instructions at different places. If somebody else will do that ok, but main support channel for Kanotix is the irc. There are the updated informations.

Hi
I got below from irc
I might be doing something wrong, but this does not seem to install vlc,
it gives much activity in the root terminal though

http://kanotix.com/files/fix/vlc-vaapi-local.txt

and finally
root@KanotixBox:/home/zorro# vaapi: vlc --ffmpeg-hw
bash: vaapi:: command not found
root@KanotixBox:/home/zorro# vlc --ffmpeg-hw
bash: vlc: command not found
root@KanotixBox:/home/zorro# vlc
but no vlc

I wonder what is going on
Any advice appreciated
Thanks

Hi Kano
I ran
zorro@KanotixBox:~$ wget -qO- http://kanotix.com/files/fix/vlc-vaapi-local.txt|sh

but it ended with an error message, so maybe I made the script kaput pasting the text in terminal?

Hi ElZorro,

run that script first as root. It starts to install all necessary dependencies first. After that, execute it again but as normal user. The command you are using is correct, first as root and then as user Winken

That line tells me that the script did not install all dependencies. So you did not run it as root first.
Trust me, the script is correct. It finished succesful on a test machine some minutes ago.

And read the script outputs more carefully.
Code:
to start open a new console, then run vlc with vaapi: vlc --ffmpeg-hw
So the command is only
Code:
vlc --ffmpeg-hw
You tried it several times with "vaapi: vlc..." thats NOT correct.

Please try it again. Here an idiot proof how-to.
1. Open a shell
2. change to root
Code:
su
3. run the script the first time (root)
Code:
wget -qO- http://kanotix.com/files/fix/vlc-vaapi-local.txt|sh
4. change back to user
Code:
exit
5. run the script again (user)
Code:
wget -qO- http://kanotix.com/files/fix/vlc-vaapi-local.txt|sh
6. start vlc via
Code:
vlc --ffmpeg-hw

Hi TheOne,
thanks for your trouble and idiot-proof instructions, but I think I am paying the penance for pasting the text into terminal when it sprang up ever so temptingly in icedove when I clicked on the blue script line in irc..
Ho hum
The script no longer works after this exercise it seems.

However I did exactly as you said and ran the script as Root and then as User with the same results, and once againI did it again with the same outcome.
I ran a number of commands in desperation before but none worked.
So running script as root cannot fix a sinful text terminal paste and it seems, as kano said the script is not intended to run as pasted in terminal text.
So one day a reinstall it seems and try as it is intended..

First of all it seems you did not run it as root, why do you never join irc? Also it can be problematic when you added additional repositories without deb-src entries.

I really recommend to visit the IRC. You will get really fast support because it is more interactive. If you need some instructions howto use IRC with Kanotix, read this wiki page.

Hi Kano
But I did run the script as root the first time, and user second time..
I also ran the pasted text as root the first time, and I dd join irc, perhaps I'll ask if anyone can suggest a fix.though I very much doubt it..
Maybe just live without vlc is better.

Most likely you killed the system by enabling sid. It is basically possible to revert parts of those changes but as sid is no supported option here just reinstall and run the script the way it is intended without trying stupid other things first.

Titel: Re: VLC from squeeze is a no go. so I tried the sid version-
Hi Kano,
did a reinstall, of hellfire 32 bit kde, installed nothing else and followed the idiot proof instructions for the vlc script

I ended up with a non working version of vlc version 1.2, after a very great amount of terminal activity, and this was worse than ver 1.7 from sid, that worked, but shared the same problem in that it too would not allow shutdown, log out etc like the sid version, except from a root terminal.
So no vlc still, beats me--

I can not say that 1.2 series does not work, but it is a peace of cake to change the script to compile 1.1 series:

search for:

case $(automake --version|head -1) in

and disable the first case section with # - keep the *) part. Rename ~/dist to something else first or delete it.

is it perhaps VLC 1.2 series has to make use of libs that are not available to Squeeze, or is it the compiler?
Kano - 29.03.2011, 18:19 Uhr
Titel: RE: Re: VLC from squeeze is a no go. so I tried the sid vers
For vlc 1.2 git you need newer autotools, that's why i compile 1.1 on lenny. Every other never lib thats required to build on squeeze is installed in the home.
