Ok jedi,

This command line path worked for me in x-term.

~ $ mplayer home/user/mydocs/.videos/9.mp4

Only thing I don't know about is the output being spued down the x-term screen telling me certain things weren't working like video or audio yet it played back fine. Some OSD controls caused issues though with pict/audio!

EDIT: I need to remember these dir paths in linux!! not used to it. I have to open Kmplayer to get hold of the dir path so I can type it in x-term lol

So I'm presented with X-term in user mode

I'll output the strange output I got thrown in my face for running the swappolube command-line installs!

Tried apt-get update. didn't work. just managed to update though in faster app manager itself. unless x-term is using repos from the standard maemo app manager.

You're not just copying a whole block of command into xterm are you? It has to be done line by line

Hey Mr 1337INT13H - glad to see you're enjoying your voyage of discovery

Is it possible you can chill with the posting? I can't keep track of what your question is.

The 'strange output' is quite normal for Linux programs. Most of the time it can be safely ignored, but if you're having problems it can be valuable to find out what's going on.

Please remember that alot of your questions will have been asked and answered here many times before - searching is cool

Enjoy!

Captwheeto,

I type it in as jedi had given me the following

root
apt-get install kernel-power
kernel-config limits 250 850
kernel-config load ideal
kernel-config save profile overclocked1
kernel-config default profile overclocked1
exit
exit


& it brought up the errors in the post above the post I'm replying to you about.

nice I'll try slow down for you yoda. lol how ironic now!!! I always love editing in advanced mode. it's so geeky cool too
