create thumbnails problem by mplayer

Hi, I have mplayer on my SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64).I have a problem using a command line that uses mplayer to create thumbnail of video. This is the command: ./mplayer -ss 00:01:34 -noframedrop -nosound -vo jpeg -frames 1 /home/sxp/heikediguo2.ts But I got a snapshot with mosaics. So I used another command to solve the mosaic problem. ./mplayer -ss 00:01:34 -demuxer lavf -vf screenshot -vo jpeg -lavdopts skiploopfilter=all:skipframe=nonkey -nosound -frames 2 /home/sxp/heikediguo2.ts However the first snapshot is gray. Any ideas? I appreciate any help. Thanks!

New to Linux need help with Conky and Gedit...

I seem to have found myself in a mess of confusion. Originally I began following a tutorial for installing Conky. It states, "Save a copy of the original conky.conf in another location and open the original file with Gedit Text Editor" So I am trying to install Gedit... I type ./configure in the terminal but I get this configure: error: Enchant library not found or too old. Use --disable-spell to build without spell plugin. I need some help, or possibly reference to a tutorial a bit more simplified. I am not used to ./configure not working on my first try and I do not understand if I have to install each one of these things it checks for or if I am making things more complicated than they have to be. Oh and if it matters I am running Ubuntu 11.10 with LXDE Thanks for you time.

sftp, ftp mget get

i installed vsftpd on my machine running ubuntu 11.04 and i try access on a variety of different computers including my laptop with ubuntu 11.04 on it. Well i downloaded my music folder from the server using mget and using a wild card *.mp3, but when i try to use get to download a single file and i type the files name in or copy and paste the files name in i get the error 550 failed to open file. I try using the passive command but i dont think my firewall is the problem considering i can use mget. I am running this on a lan. so can anyone explain to me how to fix this is it would be much appreciated.

Screen / keyboard gets out of sync

Oracle Enterprise Linux (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) release 5.6 occassional when I'm typing in the terminal window, a popup error message (email) shows up, when I close it my cursor is reversed and my keyboard doesn't work correctly... it is as if I PRESSED a control key (or did a right-mouse click) and didn't let go ... so I can't type anthing successfully, mouse clicks will open an app but then can't pick any menu selections. the only solution I have is to remotely login and reboot the Linux server to reset it.. is there any other way?

Host: request time out on 1 NIC .. success on other

first posting .. forum won't allow me to post IPs so I can't post ifconfig info. RH 5.6 why can my windows 7 PC ping my Linux server on the NIC 0 which has an IP set by DHCP but fail (timeout) on NIC 1 which has a fixed IP address? I try to post more info but the forum won't allow anything with numbers (until I've posted 15 times) I can ping from other windows and other linux boxes to fixed IP.. only on the Window 7 does it fail

Program Error Initializing: File not found!

When i run a program in terminal by typing in the entire path along with the program name, I get this error: Error initializing: File not found! However when I change my directory to the directory of the program and then do a ./program_name, it runs fine. After a bit of research my hunch is that I need to change my PATH, but I'm not sure how to do that or if that is even my problem. Any suggestions?
