MacBook install: triple boot: linux, windows, Mac OS - Peter Johnson

Peter Johnson — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:13:18 +0100

I have been trying got weeks to be able to triple boot my macbook 5,2 with snow leopard win 7, and ubuntu 9.1. I have osx and win7 working, and after alot of work, I was able to finally install ubuntu, but now after I select it thru refit, it says grub loading, then I have an option to select what I want to run, I choose linux. After this, I get a curser and then a black screen. Nothing happens.
I would appreciate any help or advise. Thank you.

This is one of the best things to come to VLC. Once GPU acceleration is considered stable, I’m sure most people (including myself) will finally be able to use VLC as their sole media player.

Keep up the good work!

Bonjour, félicitations et remerciements pour cet impressionnant développement. Les utilisateurs de W7 sur netbooks avec Poulsbro ou Ion apprécieront le support DXVA2.

Qu’en est-il du support DLNA (préférence) ou sinon uPnP?

Il existe tant de serveurs DLNA mais - à ma connaissance - aucun bon client soft…

So in theory, we only have to implement a crystal HD backend for va-api, right? I’m quite confused because it doesn’t seems really a mess (based on what I can see in the graph). Anyway, thanks for your work! I’ll be able to use vlc also when I can’t use my cpu to watch HD.

@mumuri: on code en php, passe par une moulinette qui génère du HTML statique. Donc 99% des gens ne passent jamais par le php.

quand tu dis contenus statique, c’est que vous avez un script php qui génére une version statique du site html ou que vous avez un script php (type spip) qui met en cache les pages si elles ne le sont pas déjà. En gros, est ce qu’une personne passe par php pour arriver à une page de votre site ou juste par le serveur web?

A very good year!
But I have a little problem. I wish work on VLMC, so I must compile both vlc and vlmc.
I run on ubuntu karmic 9.10
I have cloned vlc from vlc.git && vlmc from vlmc.git
I must disable some options because libraries not found, so, after I configure with

./configure —prefix=/usr —enable-snapshot —enable-debug —enable-dbus-control —enable-musicbrainz —enable-shared-libvlc —enable-mozilla —enable-lirc —enable-live555 —with-live555-tree=extras/live —enable-x264 —with-x264-tree=extras/x264-trunk —enable-shout —enable-taglib —enable-v4l —enable-cddax —enable-dvb —enable-vcdx —enable-realrtsp —enable-xvmc —enable-svg —enable-dvdread —enable-dc1394 —enable-dv —enable-theora —enable-faad —enable-twolame —enable-real —enable-flac —enable-tremor —with-ffmpeg-mp3lame —with-ffmpeg-faac —disable-quicktime —enable-dirac —enable-skins2 —enable-qt4 —enable-ncurses —enable-aa —enable-caca —enable-esd —disable-portaudio —enable-jack —enable-xosd —enable-galaktos —disable-goom —enable-ggi —disable-cddax —disable-vcdx

it seems good, but when I make, I obtain:

CCLD libx264_plugin.la
/usr/bin/ld: /home/pierre/vlc/extras/x264-trunk/libx264.a(common.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1’ can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/home/pierre/vlc/extras/x264-trunk/libx264.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I am desapointed, what is the trick?
