  Is there the ability to "search" in Linux lite?
Posted by: JanetBiggar - 11-09-2019, 10:22 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (5)

I was unsure where to post this question - I was wondering if similar to Mac's (spot light or search light) and even Windows if there an equivalent ability to search for something by name or topic (when you've forgotten the exact title) actually "on" the computer like these other OS's allow you to do.

I have googled and also checked the forum for similar questions, but haven't found anything.

  Tutorial: How to play HD videos on a single-core Intel Atom netbook.
Posted by: m654321 - 11-09-2019, 05:25 AM - Forum: Tutorials - No Replies

[size=1em]Do you have old or low-powered hardware that seems unable to play HD-quality videos ?[/size]
[size=1em]If the answer is yes, then don’t worry. Help is at hand with a video file manipulation application called handbrake. This tutorial is for those who, like me until recently, had never heard of or used this application.[/size]

[size=1em]I discovered handbrake while trying to figure out how to play HD-videos (1080p/50fps) on a single-core Intel Atom netbook (see signature), which I use mainly as a portable media player. Due to the low processing power of this machine, playing HD videos resulted in either stuttering (choppy video motion) and/or a lack of audio/video synchronisation (audio running ahead of video).  To make this video play on an Atom netbook, or other old or low-powered hardware, you’ll need to set the bitrate and reduce the frames per second (fps):[/size]

[size=1em]First, download and install handbrake from the repository that comes with the LL package. When you’ve done this, open it from Menu (type handbrake in Menu search box).

Then, from within handbrake, load the file you want to modify, using the Source or File/Source buttons in its toolbar. Make sure you’ve indicated the desired Destination for the modified file, though by default it appears to choose the Videos directory. Next, look for the toolbar running from left to right (located half-way down the handbrake window) with the following options: [/size]

[size=1em]Summary/Picture/Video/AudioDefaults/AudioList/SubtitleDefaults/SubtitleList/Chapters/Tags

Click on the option Video, then:
- select option Bitrate (kbps),set this to 2500
- select option Constant Framerate, set this to 25 (PAL Film/Video)
- click on Fast Decode (not sure if this makes any difference)
- finally click Start Button to start file processing.

When you’ve finished, collect your modified video file from the Video directory and open with your media player - the playback experience should be improved. If not, you could try a lower bitrate, e.g. 1500 kbps. Processing time will depend on the type of file modification you want, e.g. a lower bitrate setting of 1500, it will take longer.  With a bitrate/fps setting of 2500/25, a video with a 30 minute playback time took me around 45 minutes to process on a Dell Latitude D630. Handbrake will do all sorts of other video file modifications - I’ve only described one specific case here.

NB. Modifying video files is very CPU-intensive. Therefore, it’s highly recommended that you don’t carry this out on a low-powered machine (it may either fail or take forever) - I recommend using at least a Core-2-Duo computer - the more cores the better ![/size]

PS. around 23-24 fps is apparently the threshold framerate, at which the brain is fooled into seeing continuous motion.

[size=1em]Hoping this tutorial will be of use to someone. [/size]

  Noob problems trying to compile Gnumeric
Posted by: Sprintrdriver - 11-07-2019, 06:56 PM - Forum: Installing Software - Replies (7)

Hi.
I'm trying to compile Gnumeric, following the INSTALL file - but runs into problem imediately.

Code:
gnumeric-1.12.46  ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for gtk-doc... no
configure: WARNING:
  You will not be able to create source packages with 'make dist'
  because gtk-doc is not found.
checking for gtkdoc-check... no
checking for gtkdoc-check... no
checking for gtkdoc-rebase... no
checking for gtkdoc-mkpdf... no
checking whether to build gtk-doc documentation... no
checking for GTKDOC_DEPS... no
checking whether NLS is requested... yes
./configure: line 3819: intltool-update: command not found
checking for intltool >= 0.35.0...  found
configure: error: Your intltool is too old.  You need intltool 0.35.0 or later.
And then:
Code:
gnumeric-1.12.46  make check
make: *** No rule to make target 'check'.  Stop.


I'll post updates - if I manage to get any way forward with this.

[edit]So using Synaptic, I didn't find gtk-doc directly,  but gtk-doc-tools. I hope this one include the gtk-doc also.
