Mplayer on Arm linux

http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/pipermail/linux-arm/2005-February/009391.html

The following is my working note, I really got runnable binary, but the description is some ambiguously as I am not good at English.
So, good luck :-)


fetch tarball from
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0pre5try2.tar.bz2

untar it, and compile on x86 platform, we need this step because we
need codec-cfg(a executable binary)

./configure
cd libavcodecs
ln -s ../config.h config.h
cd ../libmpcodecs
ln -s ../config.h config.h
make

rename codec-cfg to sth else, for example codec-cfg.x86

and now we compile for ARM
./configure --enable-static --prefix=./install --enable-runtime-cpudetection --cc=arm-linux-gcc --as=arm-linux-as --target=arm-linux --enable-fbdev --enable-ossaudio --disable-mpdvdkit --disable-tv --disable-tv-v4l --disable-tv-v4l2 --disable-tv-bsdbt848 --disable-dvdread --disable-libavformat --disable-x11 --enable-linux-devfs --disable-sdl --disable-mencoder --enable-mad --enable-libavcodec --disable-win32
make

when the ERROR occurs, rename codec-cfg.x86 back to codec-cfg and continue with "make"

/********************/
I found the codec-cfg is wrong.
we should run
"make codec-cfg CC=gcc"
first and then run
"make"
/********************/

Do you think that if i save sector 0 and then restore would my phone be locked again? Thx Mihai

Save old Sim and CID this is identified the area CID.

pdocread -n 1 0x000000 0x10000 -b 0x4000 old_cid.nb

You simply save the area CID - in this area SIM lock and CID lock.

If you want to return back you it is enough will write back file by command

pdocwrite -n 1 old_cid.nb 0x000000 0x10000 -b 0x4000

Fwd: "Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" error while accessing Firewall settings in Windows XP Service Pack 2

Symptoms
  1. When you open Services.msc applet, the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service may not be available in the listing
  2. Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service is available in Services listing, but you are unable to start the service
  3. You receive the following error message while accessing the firewall settings (firewall.cpl)
Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings.

Cause

This happens due to missing or corrupt SharedAccess reg key, which represents the Windows Firewall Service.

Resolution

Download {sharedaccess.reg} (only for systems running Windows XP Service Pack 2) and save to Desktop. Then double-click the file to merge the contents to the registry. The Services entry will be created. Restart Windows (mandatory step, otherwise the following NETSH command will display an error message).

After restarting Windows, run this from Command Prompt (cmd.exe)

NETSH FIREWALL RESET

Launch firewall applet from Control Panel, and then configure your Windows Firewall settings.

If nothing helps, as a last-resort solution (before reinstalling Windows XP Service Pack 2), give these two commands a try. Click Start, Run and type:

rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection Ndi-Steelhead 132 %windir%\inf\netrass.inf

Restart Windows, and then run this command (from Command Prompt):

NETSH FIREWALL RESET

Attempt to start Firewall applet. Start the Windows Firewall service if prompted.

save this to a .reg file and run

Klingon programmers

The top 12 things likely to be overheard if you had Klingon programmers working for you:

12. Specifications are for the weak and timid!

11. This machine is a piece of GAGH! I need dual Pentium processors if I am to do battle with this code.

10. You cannot really appreciate Dilbert unless you've read it in the original Klingon.

9. Indentation?! I will show you how to indent when I indent your skull!

8. What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not make software 'releases'. Our software escapes, leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake!

7. Klingon function calls do not have "parameters" - they have "arguments" - and they ALWAYS WIN THEM.

6. Debugging? Klingons do not debug. Our software does not coddle the weak.

5. I have challenged the entire Quality Assurance team to a Bat-Leh contest! They will not concern us again.

4. A TRUE Klingon warrior does not comment his code.

3. By filing this bug report you have challenged the honor of my family. Prepare to die!

2. You question the worthiness of my code? I should kill you where you stand!

1. Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!

Excursie Baiului februarie 2006

Ruta planificata si care s-a si respectat pana la urma:
Busteni - Culmea zamorei - vf baiutul - coborare pe partia sorica - azuga

Echipa:
2am & company adica Adrian

Pregatire fizica necesara
Satisfacatoare. A nu se subestima efortul. Durata a fost 5 ore pentru a atinge varful Baiutul.

Avand in vedere ca marcajul (cruce rosie) este mai mult decat precar e recomandata o harta, busola si eventual o descriere a traseului.

Pentru orientare am folosit descrierea excelenta a traseului nr 10 (parca) din muntii nostrii.


1. Busteni - Iesirea in culmea zamorei
Am urmat exact descrierea traseului si nu am avut probleme. Se merge in mare parte pe drum forestier. Drumul are o traiectorie mai ciudata la inceput urmand o traiectorie spre sud aprox 1-2 km (da! se trece pe langa groapa de gunoi Busteni. Din totdeauna m-am intrebat unde isi duce Busteniul gunoiul. Ce mica e lumea!) dupa care o ia spre est (la un moment dat chiar pieptis) pe versantul drept al culmii. Intr-un final dupa multa behaiala se iese in golul alpin in zona cantonului Zamora (ce a mai ramas din el).


La iesirea in gol vreme frumoasa, soare stralucitor, urme de skiuri serpuind printre copaci.


2. Culmea Zamora - Vf Baiutul

Drumul se continua spre stana de pe Zamora dar am preferat sa iesim in creasta pentru un quick look pe ambele parti ale Zamorei si spre abruptul Bucegilor.



Spre nord se vad skiorii de la telescaunul de la Sorica. Spre est creasta baiului.


Probleme de orientare nu au fost :) .Am urmat linia culmii spre vf baiutul in planul indepartat.

Vremea a inceput sa se schimbe, la inceput innorari temporare insotite de rafale de vant ca pe urma sa urmeze ...viscolul. Rafale puternice de vant insotite de zapada inghetata izbindu-ne in fatza. O placere ce sa mai.

Achizitionarea unor cagule a devenit brusc ceva iminent.




Iesirea in creasta, vf Baiutul si "virajul spre nord".


Privire spre SE de pe vf Baiutu.




3. Vf Baiutul - Azuga

De pe Baiutul cam cotit-o spre nord urmand linia crestei sa iesim la telescaunul Azuga.


Pe la jumatatea drumului spre telescaun, vremea ne mai pregatea o surpriza. Ceata!



Ceata + zapada = Orientare 0

Aspect care nu a fost subestimat si salvarea a venit din partea busolei + harta. Dupa ceva orbecaiala, presupuneri bune sigresite am iesit la liman. Pana la urma s-am dovedit a fi un bun exercitiu de orientare (nu cine stie ce totusi).
