Mount fat32 in Gentoo???

That is most strange... I don't understand it at all. Don't you get any kernel messages when you mount it?

update: I fixed it!

I logged into kde as root and changed the user and groups. For some reason it was backwards:

user=100
group=1000

when it should have been:

user=1000
group=100

once I did that I updated my fstab and then rebooted. I can see my files are user now. I haven't tried the write options as user yet, but I am happy just being able to access 30GB's of mp3's for now.

I also fixed my sound problem - I emerged kdemultimedia so I could get kmix and take a better look at everything and lo and behold the problem went away!

My two remaining issues:

1 - when I am viewing a video plugin on the apple site (or any other), it tries to open mplayer in full screen mode even tho I have disabled it from starting in fs. It starts to open the file on the page as it should so I know the codecs are working fine, but it should just play on the page, it shouldn't be opening mplayer at all. Also when I try to play a music video thru mplayer, it automatically goes full screen and just shows a frame and sits there for about 10 seconds and then goes to the next frame and it starts making a clipping sound. I re-emerged it and it didn't make a difference.

Here is my /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf file:

Code:

 Should it handle embedded movies ?
noembed=0

# Set to 'mini' if you want the seek bar
use-gui=no

# Normal mplayer style config options
#vo=x11
fs=no
zoom=yes

and when trying to play a simple mpg file:

Code:

Starting playback...
New_Face failed. Maybe the font path is wrong.  1   0%  0%  0.0% 0 0 32%
Please supply the text font file &#40;~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf&#41;.
subtitle font&#58; load_sub_face failed.
Fatal signal&#58; Broken Pipe &#40;SDL Parachute Deployed&#41;  0%  0%  0.0% 0 0 34%

Can someone please compare it their mplayerplug-in.conf that is working properly? I haven't changed anything in it.

*Update - I emerged smpeg-xmms and it will play the video but then do the same thing where it starts to sound all clippy and then it freezes. Seems to be a video issue somehow.

2 - getting my burner to work. It doesn't even show up.

I am currently working on these two issues so I may come back with a solution.

Thank you for responding to this thread.

Did you compile scsi support into your kernel? http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.p...t=idescsi+cdrw is an excellent guide...

**yowwww** · 08-23-2003

yes I did and I did happen to come across that guide, I will definitely take an in-depth look at it soon.

have you had any trouble with mplayer or the plug in?

Is there a specific way to emerge it?

**Dillinger** · 08-23-2003

I get the fullscreen too, unless the videos have actual size definition like on apple.com/trailers. I don't watch THAT many videos so it's not that big a deal to me. So no I've never had a problem with mplayer or the plug in.

**yowwww** · 08-24-2003

well, they to prevent mplayer from opening in full screen instead of being embedded is to edit the /etc/mplayerplug-in.conf file so that:

#vo=x11

is

vo=xv

(or you can just add vo=xv since the top line is commented out.

mplayer still doesnt work though, i try to play a video and it goes really slow and then freezes

**Dillinger** · 08-24-2003

Hmmm, play around with the different video out types. Also, did you compile mtrr support into your kernel? I noticed somewhat of a performance boost after having it.

**yowwww** · 08-25-2003

I didn compile MTTR into my kernel on a previous install and the same thing happened. I will double check it this time and put it in but I don't think that is the answer.
