Debian Squeeze : no picture when reading DVD with overlay
*********************************************************

My computer is a laptop Amilo L7300 (448 Mo RAM, 64 Mo Video RAM, Celeron 1.4 Gz, Graphic chipset VIA PN800) and I have installed Debian Squeeze. I still have Debian Lenny on this PC.

When I try to read a DVD (or an AVI file) using Totem, VLC, Xine or Kaffeine, I have the sound but no picture : the screen is black.

But, in VLC, if I unchek "Overlay" in Video parameter, the picture is present, but the CPU load is only 20% idle.
Also, if I set the video driver ix Xine to "Xshm", it also works, with the same CPU load.

hello folks,

I have a big problem, I have the website working on a chroot system (apache2), and I need to install nagios on the base system...

My doubght are can I have two apache´s running on different´s system but on the same machine?

Is there some way to install nagios on the base system with the front end on the chroot system?

what should I do?

I am having difficulty getting the amazonmp3 download application to work on Debian gnu/linux (lenny/stable) on AMD64 architecture.
(works perfectly on my vanilla x86 machine with lenny).

I downloaded their .deb file (http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/help/amd.html/), and did

dpkg -i --force-architecture amazonmp3.deb

(I have ia32libs)

It asked for a handful of libraries, so I aptitude installed them all, and then ran dpkg again,
and it "successfully" installed, but...
When I try to run it, I get this error:
amazonmp3: error while loading shared libraries: libglademm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But, I DO have the library installed.
ls -l /usr/lib/libglademm-2.4.so*

I am having an issue with scanning images all of a sudden. I installed debian on a laptop I was given, I was able to use my scanner without any problems. The laptop died after a couple of months, and so I got a new one and installed the same debian (stable) on it. Now when I scan (xsane) all the images come tinged pink. I can't seem to find any way to alter this. Adjusting the Gamma just makes the pink lighter or darker. I don't seem to have any other controls other than contrast and brightness.

If I scan in gray, the image looks normal.

xsane seems to detect my scanner properly, it identifies the make and model properly.

Could the scanner be malfunctioning? Is there a hardware failure that could cause it to scan everything in pink?

Hi,

After using Debian for about a year now I came across a problem.
I want to watch movie files (.avi .divx .wmv ....).
That worked with Dragonplayer but now I just have black screen and sound.

Tried using vlc from console gave that error:
[swscaler @ 0x9e76ab0] bad dst image pointers

I´m using debian squeeze.

ps: I´m sorry for my english... it´s not native
