Error: Totem Movie Player gives "Could not read from resource" when trying to play dvds.
Fix:
Add atrpms repository if you don't have it
yum install libdvdcss libdvdcss2
and dvd's should now play.
Note this is tested on Fedora 13 x86_64 but should apply to most recent Fedora releases. |

Welcome to Linuxpro.
Linuxpro is my way of giving back to the Open Source community. I have found with my
many years of google-ing that often when people search for solutions to problems and
post on mailing list and forums. Once they have the answer that's the end, and they
never follow up with a conclusion. This is often frustrating when one reads through
a forum and finds it's comes to a dead end and you are non the wiser, and have wasted
time on a lead with a dead end. I'm not with out blame for not positing a solution.
What I have done here is create content with the issue / error and what I have found to be
a definite answer. So that others may have a clear cut solution, or at least a good clue to
resolution. Where possible the solutions are copy paste.
I only post issues and solutions that would typically exist in public domain.
They also need to be repeatable.
Linuxpro is also my an note pad where I keep useful information and notes so that
they are available to me no matter where I may be traveling.An example of this is
the web links directory .. this is from my "Bookmarks". |

Samba - hide files from users |
|

There are 2 ways to Hide files from users.
One is to configure the share so that files with certain names or extensions are hidden, but if windows Explorer is set to show hidden file this will make them visible. To use this method add "hide files = /desktop.ini/*.bat/" to the share's configuration where you want it to be applied.
eg:
[everyone]
comment = everyone
path = /data/everyone
read only = no
hide files = /*.CR2/*.cr2/ #all files with the cr2 extension are hidden, unless hidden files are viewable in Explorer
guest ok = yes
Two is to configure the share so that the files are not visible at all via samba at all. Thus no matter who the user's work station is set they will never see the files. To use medod add "veto files = /desktop.ini/*.bat/" to the share's configuration where you want it to be applied.
eg:
[everyone]
comment = everyone
path = /data/everyone
read only = no
hide files = /*.CR2/*.cr2/ #all files with the cr2 extension are non existent to Windows Explorer
guest ok = yes

This a howto on compiling php from source. This has been done many times before, so what's different, I have added more detail in the form of dependancies,tips, errors with fixes to try and simplify the process, and remove some of the common head aches. As with all howto's you use it at your own risk.
Note this Howto was writen for Fedora 12 x68_64 but should apply to most Fedora installs.
Dependencies - depending on the functionality that you require the following may be needed.
rpm list :
re2c
bison
flex
lemon
patch
glib2-devel
gcc-c++
libtool ?
ibtool-ltdl-devel
httpd-devel
openssl-devel
mysql-devel
libxml2-devel

libjpeg-devel
libmcrypt-devel
libpng-devel

libtidy-devel
libxslt-devel
Tips:
1) If running 64 bit os use --with-libdir=lib64 the will resolve a lot of path dependency issues.
2) set the correct include paths in you php.ini
; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
include_path = ".:/php/includes; /opt/php-5.2.13/lib/php;"
3)Note if a recompile still gives errors after installing dependencies and fixing paths
then start again on clean source as "make clean" does not remove all
settings and old compiles.
4)If your are having issues with debugging add " > debugging.log" to the end of the command you are exicuting to capture the output. eg: make > debugging.log
I typicaly download the current stable source from the php.net site / local mirror into a directory that I can use for the compile.
[root@www php-5.2.13]# wget http://nz.php.net/distributions/php-5.2.13.tar.gz
[root@www php-5.2.13]# tar -zxf php-5.2.13.tar.gz
[root@www php-5.2.13]# cd ./php-5.2.13
now I run configure with compile options to my requitements. You will note I'm installing php into the /opt/php-5.2.13 , this is because I run multiple installs of php, called as cgi.
[root@www php-5.2.13]#./configure \

--with-mssql=shared
Next we want to compile the code.
[root@www php-5.2.13]# make
It is recomended to run make test but this can be skipped it takes ages......
[root@www php-5.2.13]# make test
Now we install the compiled binaries / files
[root@www php-5.2.13]# make install
I use the php.ini-recommended as the starting point for my php.ini. Depending on your compile options you may want to copy it to /etc , for my install I copy it to /opt/php-5.2.13/etc/
[root@www php-5.2.13]# cp php.ini-recommended /opt/php-5.2.13/etc/php.ini
