Nice! I really want to visit Ireland some day but I'm afraid my time is running out to do so. On Thu, May 21, 2026 at 7:54 AM Andrew Randrianasulu via Cin < cin@lists.cinelerra-gg.org> wrote:

Hello all.
I *finally* hauled home another desktop bought second hand, and installed my "old" GeForce 710 in it. Installed some version of Slackel ( Slackware -current from nov 2023) on it, and partially updated it. Installed proprietary 470 drivers from Slackbuilds.org link (280 mb!). There was not enough headers to compile this driver, so I compiled kernel first with its embedded config (modprobe configs, zcat /proc/config.gz > .config, make in Linux source tree).
After around two hours on this Sandybridge -era i5 at 3.19Ghz + 4gb ram + mechanical 250 gb sata drive formatted as ext4 I got my kernel and proprietary driver installed, escaped world of 640*480 into my glorious 1400*900 native resolution.
Compiled cingg from git, in around 45 minutes. Loaded few videos I downloaded from samples.mplayerhq.hu, tried h264 nvenc (I was careful to replace ffnvheaders with our old 2020 version, thankfully provided in tree.) At first it was failing at 97%, but then I realized all failing vids set cingg correctly to interlaced mode, as they were interlaced.
Progressive 720p 60 fps mpeg2 dreamtime.mpg from HDTV folder played ok, and encoded with nvenc at around 73 fps.
So, new toy is a bit noisy and can heat up to 85 C under full load, but now I hopefully can test for regressions on this front again.
Also compiled qemu from git (it worked) and cinelerra-cv from my fork at github (Randrianasulu/cinelerra-cv-randrik, branch "wip"). Its mpeg decoder worked when compiled on older glibc 2.30+ gcc 5.5.0 based Slackware, but crashed under Debian 11 (glibc 2.31,gcc 10.something) and this not completely current -current Slackware with gcc 13.2.0 . I tried to debug this, but no success so far. Otherwise it works, mostly on pre-converted to mjpeg + pcm .mov files with help of modern ffmpeg.
At some point I'll manually switch my keyboard, mouse and monitor back to main machine, they both know how to "sleep" properly, so I can leave them in such state and wake up from keyboard (this function was problematic on many other previous computers I used).
Sorry, no video for now - this tablet definitely developed some blurred region on its plastic lens cover at back camera. May be I'll make some self-recording with cingg on destop later.

ok, played with alsamixer, enabled loopback mode there and auto-mute, disabled audio monitoring in cingg, and voila!
No more weird artefacting in sound!
Enabled cursor capture too ....
Not exactly usage cinelerra was designed for, but she easier to compile than say OBS. At least for me on Slackware.
sbopkg and slapt-get surely make life easier for Slackers like me.
Long live Slackware! ;)
