hello,
after years of painless work the dvdauthor broke down. I know for sure i didn't change any user-level params. the only thing i did was an regular update with sec errata.
anyway:
i'm on SL6.2 64 with latest patches. dvdauthor is 0.7.0. it seemed to be the only one version available.
i run as regular user-
Today i reinstalled the dvdauthor ( from rpm ) and noticed the line in the messages:
Code:
Jun 17 21:42:43 server yum[15518]: Erased: dvdauthor
Jun 17 21:43:21 server yum[15524]: Installed: dvdauthor-0.7.0-6.el6.x86_64
Jun 17 21:44:18 server kernel: dvdauthor[15546]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000004049d5 sp 00007fffd3648e10 error 4 in dvdauthor[400000+26000]
the rpm is from epel. It seems there is only one version there.
Code:
yum repolist
Loaded plugins: security
repo id repo name status
adobe-linux-x86_64 Adobe Systems Incorporated 2
elrepo ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el6 199
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64 7,547
epel-qbittorrent Qbittorrent repository 6

virtualbox RHEL/CentOS-6.2 / x86_64 - VirtualBox 21
P.S. Arhhhh. Just noticed - ffmpeg is from rpmforge and dvdauthor from epel. Erased both and installed older versions from rmpforge:

Install 3 Package(s)
if you are going to use rf then you ONLY use rf and NO others not even sl or epel
it is SUCH a mine field that is do not even install most multimedia on my sl6 installs
just bare min for the web
last year i spent about 3 months FIXING my Cent5.6 install from getting vlc and mplayer working right
in the end i removed them
however
once you DO have a fully working and NON incompatible set up
( might take a few weeks to sort out )
then it can be a stable platform for a myth-tv media center
however getting it to that state is not easy
i do NOT recommend rhel/sl/cent for general home use
for the business office and for in the Univ. lab it is great , but not home use .
true, true. for me it's a decent compromise between fedora that breaks my simple old scripts faster than i want it to and requires constant updates and upgrades. And old yet stable RH.
Going back to my original question - i think i took all multimedia packages from rpmforge because ( here i don't remember, so please correct me ) they were not available @ epel? do i make sense at all ?
