Hi all
I4m a noob in YLD and just installed it yesterday on my PS3. ( nice with HD )
but while I tried to "yum install yum-protectbase" after updating the repo as shown here :
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3017
and get the error message ( syntax problem apparently ) :
ing "installonlyn" plugin
Config Error: File contains parsing errors: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo

Can't wait to try 1080P MKV on the beast

It looks like you may have used the CODE: SELECT ALL function - unfortunately, it doesn't work. As the instructions in the link say:

Copy the following text in the box below Code: (highlight, right-click, select Copy -- do NOT use the forum's Select All function) from your browser window to your "Unsaved Document 1" window (right-click in the blank window and select Paste).

If that's not it, we have some troubleshooting steps here:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4785

As for 1080p MKV, don't bother. PS3 Linux can only use a non-accelerated framebuffer graphics display. This means the CPU has to do all of the drawing to the screen. Since the Linux kernel only runs on the PowerPC core of the Cell - ignoring the 6 SPEs - this does not translate to great video performance. The PowerPC core - the PPE - is a moderately fast, single core, dual threaded, in-order microprocessor. Not exactly hot sauce. The true power of the Cell comes from the 6 SPEs - which are available in Linux - but are only used by a few custom programs. None of the popular video playback programs use them - although a few developers are experimenting with it. Nothing has been publically released yet.

The normal limit in video playback in PS3 Linux appears to be roughly DVD resolution - 720x480-ish.

Cheers,
Paul

yup thanks for your quick answer !
I just be aware of the advertise on the SELECT ALL function so the copy, paste is correct for all the repo files
I checked them few times .
I'll look on the link yo gave me and will try the enblaed = 0 or enabled = 1
But i don't undersatand, with the last 6.2 YLD i thought "Improved PS3VRAM support" but you tell me that DVD resolution is the best the VLC player can display ( so not even 720p ? ? )
But we can display all the things on the desk without any problm in 1080P
I'm so sad about your answer ...

[ppietro]

But i don't undersatand, with the last 6.2 YLD i thought "Improved PS3VRAM support"

PS3VRAM support is not the PS3's video driver, unfortunately. It's a different driver that allows us to use the unused sections of the framebuffer display RAM as slow speed storage space. We normally use it for Linux's swapfile memory, since it's faster than a physical hard disk, but slower than system memory.

The framebuffer display is unchanged - same limitiations: no 3D acceleration, no 2D acceleration, no video support, CPU driven. It's capable of displaying at 1080p - it's just not capable of much else.

Cheers,
Paul

I have a problem with installing VLC player, have followed all the suggestions and installed the codec packs and repository files but have had issues with the installer not finding a number of dependent files. Really baffled why this is happening. Could someone walk me through how to get VLC up and running on YDL 6.2 on my PS3?

Thanks for any advice

Your repos don't look quite right to me.

To start, get rid of the EPEL repo, and the RPM Fusion repo. EPEL is now contained in one of the YellowDog repos (extras, IIRC), and the RPM Fusion repos seem to be x86 only, not PowerPC.

You either want a repo list that matches this post:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3017

Or - if you want to add ps3bodega, billb's main guide is here (I think - correct me if I'm wrong, billb):
http://pleasantfiction.ipower.com/bodeg ... ?f=11&t=21

Cheers,

EDIT. System is installed via network, maybe here is problem.

[billb]

Error: vlc conflicts with faad2 >= 2.5

There's one problem -- you'll probably need to uninstall faad2 before installing vlc. Not sure what other problems you may run into ... you're using (or were using?) the 6.2 version of the ps3bodega repo and that isn't meant to work with livna, fedora-extras, etc.

[Unhealthy]

I have tried install with disabled those reops, i am using 6.2ydl.
So no solution to help me?

EDIT. With disabled dribble, fedora-extras and livna:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# yum update
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "protectbase" plugin
Setting up Update Process
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
[root@localhost ~]# yum install vlc
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "protectbase" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Nothing to do


[billb]

EDIT. With disabled dribble, fedora-extras and livna:

I don't think anyone suggested doing that.

[Unhealthy]

Ok i got it, i just needed to remove "missing" packages and then try to install vlc or mplayer.
Now works greate, thanks for help

[jjlevek]

Hi everybody,

I have ttroubles with installing any software, When I use yum install it stops as shown below :

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# yum install vlc
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "protectbase" plugin
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Excluding Packages from Livna for Fedora Core 6 - ppc - Base
Finished
Excluding Packages from Fedora Extras
Finished
 

it then stays as it is, doing nothing

any suggestions ?

Thanks

JJ

[billb]

What's the output of:

Code: Select all

rpm -q vlc

and:

Code: Select all

yum search vlc

EDIT: scratch that

You mean it just hangs at that point? If you're on YDL 6.2, disable the yellowdog-extras repo -- protectbase is just taking an extremely long time excluding packages. To disable that repo:

Become root:

Code: Select all

su

<enter root password>

Edit the file:

Code: Select all

nano -w /etc/yum.repos.d/yellowdog-extras.repo


Change enabled=1 to enabled=0 and save the file.

Clean the cache files:

Code: Select all

yum clean all

Then try installing vlc:

Code: Select all

yum install vlc
