anyone using love4 and a haupauge wintv card? it was working fine using the latest gs-sources , i am also now using udev which could also i guess be the culprit but /dev/v4l/video0 exists and the drivers show that they are loaded (videodev and bttv).
just would like verification if this is working for someone

Is there a kernel option needed to enable the contents? If so thier absence from my machine may not be hugely significant |
Yes , is the only entry i have in the /proc/sys/vm/...
But up to 2.6.6-love2 i had all the other options like swappiness... _________________ "Linux, the choice of a GNU generation"

You are using love1 , up to love2 i had all the entrys , but now with love4 i've lost all of them.
Otherwise to know what they do you have to Search, GIYF
swappines regulates how much your system swap data from memory to SWAP area, more is the value and much more your data will swap.
and is what i0m missing much more.

most tv tuner programs expect to find the video0 device in /dev, not /dev/v4l, you'll probably need to modify the rules file to make a symlink in the root dev directory, something like this Code: | KERNEL=video[0-9]*, NAME=v4l/video%n, SYMLINK=video%n |

prakashc: i just had a permissions problem with reiser4:
i extracted an archive, and as normal user was unable to use the
files - permissions denied on every action i tried.
as root i could use the files as normal.
the files had no permissions set - no read/write/execute/stickies.
chmod 666 foo made the files usable again as user; i could even run
this command as normal user since the file were owned by me.
the problem does not always pop up with newly created files, but
when it happens, it affects all newly created/extracted files - you
can reproduce it if you try to extract the same archive a few times;
it will likely create the same situation within a few tries.
i would like you to try chmod 666 on the files you have problem with.
ps. i also noticed that files such as the browser-cache are not crea-
ted with the peroper permissions - various images on these forums
did not show up in my browser until i booted with a kernel with a dif-
ferent reiser4 snapshot, cleared the cache and reloaded the page.

The reason all your processes stopped the first time you booted instead of coming up is because you copied off a currently running system where there were lock files in place. so the start stop script saw that services were started (due to the lock) and stopped them (which deleted the lock) rebooting came back fine because the shutdown script doesnt try to start a stopped process... its job is to stop running processes only.
hope that explains the why _________________ The terrible thing about hell is that when you're there you can't even tell as you move through this life you love so you could be there and not even know |

PrakashKC:
Hi, I read about your badluck and I tried to reproduce it with your tarball. On a "blank", 20 Gig reiser4 partition, using "tar -xvvpjf bug.tar.bz2", I was able to unpack and sync 10 times without problem. I watched top and saw nothing out of the ordinary. I even recreated the partition's reiser4 fs the last time and it sync'ed fine after the untar. This was with -love4, reiser4progs-0.5.4, libaal-0.5.1, all compiled with gcc-3.4.0-r2 on a ASUSA7N8X-DLX and Seagate SATA drives. If there's anything more I can do, just pm me or join up on irc.freenode.net (#love-sources).
I know there is some funny business because of a few minor problems i have, such as "su'ing" to root in X takeing a good 30 secs in aterm and emerge sync just seems to halt on "checking timestamp". Both work fine in a VT, where I do most of my work anyway.
I just noticed this yesterday (the same day which I moved my install to reiser4, tried -love4, and then moved a few folders onto RAID0 arrays) so i really need to test boot into another kernel (speedy probably) to see if those operations are still slow. I've been lazy about it |

@neenee
The permissions are alright for me.
@ejohnson
I tried now with a slighty different partition site, but still the same problem. Grrr. Well, another love release to come shortly. Perhaps that ones behaves nicely... BTw, I did a simple tar xvfj bla. But I dunno whether that's the problem. |

Yeh, but I thought if you have a need for at least minimal web space, and apparently you have, it would be useful to you rather than to go begging on the forum. |

That's an old notes.txt file. What's in this kernel is still a mystery to me. _________________ Rationality is the recognition of the fact that nothing can alter the truth and nothing can take precedence over that act of perceiving it. |

my bootplash is working fine also, but I have had that problem you have....
now if I could remember what I did....
it seems that because I had ran the #

Code:
/sbin/splash -s -f /etc/bootsplash/default/config/bootsplash-1280x1024.cfg > /boot/initrd-1280x1024
command from the directions and did rc-update add bootsplash default I was having that problem, I deleted bootsplash from rc-update and it works. I think that was the problem......

For some reason, I can't use wine to play any cd-requiring games with this kernel. Back on 2.6.6-love1 it works fine, but then it can't find the cd after switching to anything newer. Any ideas? _________________ There is no substitute for experience.

How do I find out what patches make up 2.6.6-love4 ? I am very impressed with the difference between love and the stock kernel. I don't think I'll ever use a stock kernel again. I'm not positiive but it seemed like once I enabled elevator=cfq things started to get even better. I am curious about this, I am assuming this enabled what is referrred to as Nick's Scheduler, where can I find more information about it? |
