Each of those packages carry the {u} marker, so they should be replaced by other packages, and are no longer in use. Please do yourself a favour and backup important data anyway before you setup a build environment. I made some adjustments to the runvdr script: export VDR_LANG="$LANG" export LC_ALL="$VDR_LANG" export LC_COLLATE="$VDR_LANG" export VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE="ISO-8859-6" VDRPRG="/usr/local/src/vdr/vdr-1.7.15/vdr" # For other options see manpage vdr.1 VDROPTIONS="-w 60 --port=2001 --log=3 \ --config=$HOME/vdr-1.7.15/ \ --video=$HOME/vdr-1.7.15/videos \ --localedir=/usr/local/src/vdr/vdr-1.7.15/locale/ \ --lib=/usr/local/src/vdr/vdr-1.7.15/PLUGINS/lib" VDRPLUGINS="-P xineliboutput" # You will need to select your output device plugin if you want # to use VDR to watch video. For instance, for a "Full Featured" # DVB card that would be # VDRPLUGINS="-P dvbsddevice" VDRCMD="$VDRPRG $VDROPTIONS $VDRPLUGINS $*" while (true); do eval "$VDRCMD" if test $? -eq 0 -o $? -eq 2; then exit; fi done It makes no sense to load/unload dvb drivers right now, so let's leave those code passages aside, you can run it without sudo then. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
