| dahlberg | hello. i have ubuntu 11.04 studio installed , installed VLC from software center. playback is flickering and sound is strange at times. message window gives "signals error: signal 17 overriden (0x7febfc9c4450signals error: /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4(?)[(nil)]" dont know whats wrong here | 10:40 |
|---|---|---|
| dahlberg | if you guys have a better suggestion for video playback im all ears ;) | 10:40 |
| astraljava | Seems to be a tricky one. Been reported somewhat, but no real solutions. :-/ | 11:00 |
| holstein | dahlberg: hey | 15:34 |
| holstein | are you up to date with package upgrades? | 15:34 |
| dahlberg | holstein: sorry i was out busking ;) im pdating now ;) | 16:18 |
| dahlberg | *updating | 16:19 |
| holstein | i would say, upgrade, and check again | 16:19 |
| holstein | then, try and determine if its VLC or something in the back end | 16:19 |
| holstein | try a few other players and see | 16:20 |
| holstein | VLC was my go-to media player for a long time, but i had some video playback issues not too long ago on a box, and i started looking else where | 16:20 |
| dahlberg | updated. still same issue. tryed with gnome Mplayer aswell.. this realy buggs me now ;) | 16:39 |
| dahlberg | im using ATI drivers. btw | 16:40 |
| holstein | dahlberg: thats when i had the issue | 16:40 |
| holstein | and actually, i ended up switching cards for some other reason | 16:40 |
| dahlberg | uninstalling the ATI drivers. just tosee if that makes a difference | 16:41 |
| astraljava | Come to think of it, Ubuntu's been around for almost 7 years now. ATi/AMD drivers are still as bad as they were, in some cases even worse. | 22:43 |
| holstein | yeah, what do you do :/ | 22:44 |
| astraljava | Stop buying their hardware, that's what. :) | 22:44 |
| astraljava | Personally, I've never bought a new ATi card. | 22:45 |
| holstein | vote with your wallet | 22:45 |
| astraljava | Granted, during the time it mattered, I've only bought one card, but that was an nVidia. All the others are either 2nd-hand (mostly free) or company-delivered. | 22:45 |
| astraljava | Damnit, Mike, you should get into metal. You're so fun to talk to, we need a mutual music genre. :D | 22:46 |
| holstein | hehe | 22:46 |
| holstein | i dont hate metal | 22:46 |
| astraljava | I know, but it's not your 'thing'. | 22:47 |
| holstein | i just dont really take the time to branch out much | 22:47 |
| holstein | i should | 22:47 |
| astraljava | I agree. Once in a while, I stumble onto completely different genres. | 22:47 |
| astraljava | Oh, did you know, I've gotten a classical training? Started with the cello at the age of 6, brought the piano along at 10, but then started to get into the guitar at 12. | 22:48 |
