Debian 5.0 Lenny and VLC not running videos - Solved

keywords: videolan vlc debian 5.0 lenny package no suitable decoder does not support this sound or video format vmware green screen

# uname -a : Linux .6.26-2-686 #1 SMP 2010 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/issue : Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
# vlc --version : VLC version 0.8.6h Janus


THE PROBLEM:

If you installed vlc on debian with apt-get:

# apt-get install vlc
Desempacotando libavcodec51 (de .../libavcodec51_3%3a20080706-0.3lenny2_i386.deb) ...
Desempacotando libavformat52 (de .../libavformat52_3%3a20080706-0.3lenny2_i386.deb) ...
Desempacotando libvlc0 (de .../libvlc0_0.8.6.h-4+lenny2.3_i386.deb) ...
Desempacotando vlc-nox (de .../vlc-nox_0.8.6.h-4+lenny2.3_i386.deb) ...
Desempacotando vlc (de .../vlc_0.8.6.h-4+lenny2.3_i386.deb) ...

And when you run VLC you have this error:

$ vlc media.avi -v
VLC media player 0.8.6h Janus
[00000304] main decoder warning: cannot load module /usr/lib/vlc/codec/libffmpeg_plugin.so' (/usr/lib/vlc/codec/libffmpeg_plugin.so: undefined symbol: img_resample)
[00000304] main decoder error: no suitable decoder module for fourcc div3.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
[00000281] main playlist: nothing to play
[00000281] main playlist: stopping playback

The problem:
libavcodec version in multimidia repositories is not working properly with VLC version 0.8.6h Janus.

The solutions:

# Solution 1 )
Clear cache files:
rm -rf /home/[you_user]/.vlc
run vlc
(maybe work)

# Solution 2
1) remove libavcodec51 and vlc
# apt-get remove libavcodec51
# apt-get remove vlc

2) Comment the "multimidia repo" in your /etc/apt/sources.list :

#multimidia mirrors
#deb http://debian-multimedia.org/ lenny main
#deb http://ftp.debian-unofficial.org/debian lenny main contrib non-free

add the official vlc repositories in sources.list

# vlc official repositories
deb ftp://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://linorg.usp.br/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

3) Update packages
#apt-get update

4) Reinstall libavcodec51 and vlc
# apt-get install libavcodec51
# apt-get install vlc

# apt-get install libavcodec51
Desempacotando libavcodec51 (de .../libavcodec51_0.svn20080206-18+lenny1_i386.deb) ...
# apt-get install vlc
Desempacotando libavformat52 (de .../libavformat52_0.svn20080206-18+lenny1_i386.deb) ...
Desempacotando libvlc0 (de .../libvlc0_0.8.6.h-4+lenny2.3_i386.deb) ...
Desempacotando vlc-nox (de .../vlc-nox_0.8.6.h-4+lenny2.3_i386.deb) ...
Desempacotando vlc (de .../vlc_0.8.6.h-4+lenny2.3_i386.deb) ...

5) Try run vlc again:
$ vlc
Try to open some media files.
It should work!

VLC GREEN SCREEN IN VMWARE

If your VLC run the audio with a green square in place of the video, the problem is your "video output". You can change by command-line:
$ vlc -V X11
$ vlc -V xvideo
$ vlc -V opengl
try to see which work to you.
I'm running debian in a vmware, so only X11 module worked for me, the opengl module show me the green screen.
To make this a permanent configuration open vlc interface:

---

Configuration -> Preferences -> Video -> Click over "Output Modules" -> Select "Advanced Options" -> Video output module -> Select the apropriate module that work to you.

---

Tell me if these solutions worked to you.

Sorry for my bad english.

HOW TO RECORD MMS TO A FILE

# mplayer -noframedrop -dumpfile outfile.wma -dumpstream mms://media1.broadneeds.com.br/91rock

blue screen and reboot after clonning harddisk

Yesterday I cloned a 30Gb with windows xp to a 60Gb IDE Hard Disk using a Linux Live CD (System Rescue CD) and the command "dd" (disk druid)

Sintax:
# dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdd

Problem:
after clonning and swap the disks windows xp started to give me blue screen of death and rebooted at logo screen.
I tried to boot with windows xp instalation cd and repair windows instalation (no sucess)
I tried to boot in Safe Mode and in device manager delete harddisk drivers and IDE ATA Controllers and reboot (worked but not for a long time)

Solution:
The problem was that I changed the IDE cable of the HardDisk.
I thought that the IDE flat cables are all the same thing, but I was wrong, some IDE cables are different, or maybe my cable was damaged.
After using the cable that was there before, windows started with no problems.

So, pay atention to the IDE cables after clonning disks.

After clonning a disk to a larger one, you need a program like "Partition Magic" to resize the partition to the full size of the disk.
