 Hi all!
 
 I've switched on the (experimental) transluncency option in Control Center -
 Desktop - Window Behavior - Translucency. Works quite OK after minor
 adjustments to xorg.conf and looks really nifty. Thanks for the packaging
 effort, btw!
I was curious to try this feature after reding your mail, ando I
turned on that option too.  Unfoturnately I can see non translucency
effect at all, so I am guessing that maybe it is caused by my
xorg.conf. What exactly have you put/changed in it?

BYe.

 Did you restart your xserver after turning the translucency options on?
 
 Add these lines to your xorg.conf and then restart your xserver:
 
 Section Extensions
Option Composite Enable
 EndSection

Ok, then this should be the problem: enabling composite extension
causes a lot of problems to my screen (it is filled with black
horizontal lines) maybe because of some problems of the proprietary
ati driver for mi video card (ati mobility radeon x700), so I will
miss translucency effects still for a while  :-)

 uhm, it looks like apt-build doesn't like your environment. I take you
 already upgraded to gcc 4 and updated libc6 and binutils... can you
 please post your config.log so that we can see the problem? :)
 
 and yes, apt-build rocks. It's not yet a Gentoo-killer, but certainly
 a nice tool :)

Then maybe you can help me to solve this problem I have when using it:
building sources works for almost all packages, but when going to
install them apt-build fails with this error:

Building dependency tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  picwiz
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/34.5kB of archives.
After unpacking 106kB of additional disk space will be used.
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  picwiz
E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes
Segmentation fault

I can still then install the package by hand with dpkg -i but I would
like to have apt-build to do all the job. So I investigated a little
in man pages of apt-key and apt-secure, but I couldn't find a working
solution*.
Any help will be appreciated.

Bye.

* In fact I tried the following:

1) I created a gpg key for root:
# gpg --gen-key

2) I signed with it the release file in local repository of apt-build:
# cd /var/cache/apt-build/repository
# gpg -abs -o Release.gpg Release

3) I have add teh key to the accepted ones:
# gpg --armor --export rootkeyid | apt-key add -

but this seems not to work since, according to what written in
apt-secure man page, you need to update the signature every time a new
package is uploaded to the repository, and this cannot be done
automatically by apt-build after the compilation and before installing
the package.



No sounds with kmid

2005-09-11 Thread Michelasso
Hello everybody, 
I am using kmid 3.4.2-2 from sid for amd64. I have setup timidity for
midi emulation, and I can play .mid files with pmidi, but not with
kmid:
pmidi -l gives

Port Client name   Port name
 62:0 Midi Through  Midi Through Port-0
128:0 TiMidity  TiMidity port 0
128:1 TiMidity  TiMidity port 1
128:2 TiMidity  TiMidity port 2
128:3 TiMidity  TiMidity port 3

pmidi -p128:0 file.mid works; 
if I tell kmid to use the same  port in its settings I get no sound.
Any help is appreciated.
