60's TV shows and comedies.

@ jayseye and Salix folk.

Hi. I was a boy in the 1960s. Obviously back then there wasn't the tsunami of entertainment options there are now. Tv was in black & white. You had to wait for it to "warm up" a couple of minutes before you could watch anything. If you had favourite weekly TV shows, then ...

Re: Salix, LXDE, Opera - winning combo!

............. Would be interested in hearing more about '60s TV in the Useless Talk sub-forum, if you'd care to follow up, Jonathan.

Right Ho!

Re: Salix, LXDE, Opera - winning combo!

Hi, I'm using Salix 13.37 LXDE with Opera as my main browser. Everything works fast and light, yet sturdy. IMHO Opera is an underrated browser.
Totally agree. I keep using Opera since I switched to Linux, circa 2009. Really fast (currently using it under Salix xfce) and with built-in tools (email ...

Salix, LXDE, Opera - winning combo!

Hi, I'm using Salix 13.37 LXDE with Opera as my main browser. Everything works fast and light, yet sturdy. Opera has an extension to dowload YouTube vids available, just like firefox. My hardware is far from state of the art. I run a 2.8 Ghz pentium with 1gb RAM (C.2006) and an AMD 1.66 Ghz XP with ...

Re: TinyCore Linux

I'm writing this two years on from salixuser's post. I too am interested in Tiny Core. By, 2012 it seems to have moved on and developed into an easy to use, yet powerful linux lego kit. It has educational benefits too because people like me, who have only limited experience of the CLI, can build a ...

Re: VLC video capture problem.

It's OK gapan, I've found the Salix OS page to upgrade the kernel. I rate myself as an intermediate linux'er so I'm chewing over whether to attempt the process and risk b***ering the system, or waiting for Salix 14.

Cheers.

Re: VLC video capture problem.

Could it be that your device is not supported by the kernel in 13.37?
You could be right gapan. I see from my system info I've got kernel Linux 2.6.37.6-smp (i686). On checking wikipedia video4linux they say "V4L1 support was dropped in kernel 2.6.38", which could also mean possibly that "V4L2 ...

Re: VLC video capture problem.

Sorry, the full error message I get in LXTerminal is.........

Code: Select all

Failed to open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
Noticed on re-checking.
Ive tried out the procedure on Linux Mint and it works. However, I get above error message if the PVR unit's USB lead is disconnected.

Cheers
