Oh, you're right - ~/.xinitrc!

On a stock Salix system, if you install qt and when you run qtconfig on a terminal and this error output shows up: $ qtconfig QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme. simply add: export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0" To your ~/.xinit, or install libgnomeui via slapt-get.

No, but I installed VLC on my VM and it played ok. So there must be a problem with either Whaaw! or GStreamer.

Ah, so you're not playing the DVD, you're trying to play the vob file, which is not right and that's not the way to play a DVD. A DVD is much more than vob files. You either right click on the DVD on the desktop and choose to play it with whaawmp, or launch whaawmp and select Play DVD from the menu...

My faulty notebook's got to get its HD replaced. Whaaw! played other video formats perfectly - even .rmvb ones! - but when I browse the DVD via Caja and try to play a .VOB file... it gets played but without sound. MPlayer reproduces it alright (but without the menus). On my VM, I can browse through ...

I tested it on a faulty notebook, which plays ok but no sound, and on my qemu VM it doesn't play at all, an error message pops up: GStreamer encountered a general resource error. gstmpeg2dec.c(455): gst_mpeg2dec_alloc_buffer (): /GstPlayBin2:player/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin1/RsnDvdBin:source/RsnV...

Wow, worked like a charm. Thanks!

I've never wondered how and why the x-content MimeType existed.

Go to System -> Configuration Editor

There, browse to /apps/marco/general and mark the compositing_manager box.

By the way, I'm working on a GUI for setting up some stuff on gconf imported from the Mint MATE version AND compiz-fusion packages... stay tuned!

Ah, the music device - it's an ipod, and I know Exaile can handle it if python-gpod is installed.

For asunder, I think you have to add

Code: Select all

MimeType=x-content/audio-cdda;

in the asunder.desktop file.

The MimeType addition did the trick for asunder, thanks.

I want Exaile as the default Music Player.
