In my experience, compiling it yourself is a looong process, which swallows bob loads of memory, cpu, and disk, but the results are worth it. OpenOffices' fonts (especially menus) looked so much nicer afterwards.

I know there are some replacements for > procmail, such as maildrop, but they somehow all seem to inherit > the syntax stupidity from procmail. Another poor soul who saw the very fancy stuff you can do with some strange, complicated rules and now thinks they all have to be that way... If all you want to do is sort mail to different folders based upon content, all it takes is three short lines. Here's an example from my .procmailrc: :0 * ^(From|Return-Path|To):*.(Cbmccandless|skfan127) Personal-Cheryl/ Here's the explanation... The first line indicates the start of a recipe that does not use a lock. I use the maildir structure. If you used the traditional Unix mail spool structure, then you would need a lock which would be indicated by adding another ":" after the "0". The second line is the filter. The "* " indicates that this is the filter expression. Everything after that is a regular expression. If it matches a portion of an email, the email is acted upon in accordance with the rule(s) in the third line. This filter is simply looking for any email with the userids of "Cbmccandless" or "skfan127" in the "From:", "Return-Path:", or "To:" header fields. The third line tells what to do with matched emails. You can get very fancy here if you wish. The admin account at my last contract had a recipe that watched for emails from the intrusion detection system indicating a possible security breach. When such an email was received, a copy was forwarded to all the system admins, their pagers were triggered and caused to display 911, and the breached system was disconnected from the net. Obviously I have nothing so fancy here. Because the most common action is to place the email in a folder, you tell procmail to do so by simply giving the folder name. If it has a trailing "/", procmail will use the maildir format, otherwise it will use the mbox format. As you can see, it's nice and simple. In fact, no harder than the filtering built into some email clients. On the other hand, it will allow you to create some very powerful filters and rules that you cannot do with any email client's built in filtering. You can literally do anything to your email using procmail if you take the time to learn it's advanced features. One of the top list servers used is nothing more than a bunch of procmail filters and rules. It's the advanced stuff that seems to freak people out although most would never have any reason to use it. -- Thomas M. Beaudry k8la / ys1ztm [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yes, as long as they don't change the same things. If diff A changes
things that diff B also wants to change, the program ("patch") that's
looking for the things to change will not be able to find what it's
looking for, so diff B will fail -- either completely or by one or more
"hunks".
So if you've got one kernel patch involving filesystems, and another
related to networking, odds are you can apply them both. If they are
both trying to change the way memory paging is performed, you probably
won't succeed in applying both patches. :)

[Fwd: [gentoo-user] installation woes]
Well, I've all but solved it. In /etc/init.d/pcmcia it says: if [ -z `fgrep "ds " /proc/modules | head -1 | cut -c1` ]; then /sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core $CORE_OPTS 2> /dev/null /sbin/modprobe $PCIC $PCIC_OPTS 2> /dev/null /sbin/modprobe ds fi Somewhere I read that module i82365 may be needed for pcmcia, and for my systen it is. o, by modprobe-ing i82365 before ds fixed it. However, I didn't think hacking the init.d/pcmcia script was a good fix, so I took that back out and added i82365 to /etc/modules.autoload. This also worked. This is something I can live with, but that doesn't necessarily make it right. I posted this as an FYI and to ask if the fact that I had to do all this work is an indication of a bad load?

I sort of understand patches, but I still have a question. I know that a patch is a file that contains a set of changes to be made to another file or direcotry tree. So far so good. Now, my question is: is it possible to apply more than one patch to a source tree? Suppose that I have two patches from different sources. And I'm interested in both.

Actually, there are three errors in the ebuild...
1) line 126: use jpeg && myconf="${myconf} --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib"
Should be:use jpeg && myconf="${myconf} --with-jpeg-dir=/usr"
And magically jpeg support works!
2) line 132: myconf="${myconf} --with-png-dir=/usr/lib"
Should be:myconf="${myconf} --with-png-dir=/usr"
And magically png support works!
2) Java support: mod_php does not work if blackdown-jdk 1.3.1-r7
is selected and gcc is > 3; I think that is because that app is
binary-only, and compiled against gcc 2.95 (remember also the
mozilla/java plugin issues with gcc 3?). Selecting sun-j2sdk
(that is compiled from source) solves this issue.

Hmmm You could: emerge `find /var/db/pkg -name 'CONTENTS' | xargs grep -sl /etc/init.d \ | sed -e 's,/var/db/pkg/\(.*\)/CONTENTS,=\1,'` That command will search files that were installed in /etc/init.d and will reemerge the packages.

Alright, i just tried to emerge kdevelop 3.0-alpha3... and there is no executable... even though it looks like it built.

[gentoo-user] PPP line sharing
I recently got a lodger who wish to share my modem ISP connection. Since I pay per minute I wish to do the following: a) Have my Gentoo box act as a gateway to the net for his Windows box. (This I can handle myself, I guess). b) Track our usage, so that we can pay a fair amount of the bill. Maybe have him use PPP-over-ethernet, then subtract his connection time from mine.

Greetings! So I think about to setup a local mirror for my favorite distro, because the number of hosts in my domains are growing by about 20 in August/September. And so they want Linux? They will get Gentoo ;-) (I think it a good way to suggest the user to use the "good" way of installing application. Means: ./configure ... make && make install :) The number of clients are growing, and so do the number of requests for install/upgrade packages. So I think about a _complete_ mirror of my favorite distro... And I mean a _full_ mirror, not only via rsync -rlptDvz --delete rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/ ... But how should I mirror the packets in the distro? Via rsync rsync://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/gentoo-sources/ Is this enough ??? Should/must I modify the files to build the packages, so that they are downloaded from my local mirror instead of the "standard" (?) source from ibiblio.org ? When should I sync the packages to the local mirror? I think about setting up a local user, which subscribes to the gentoo-security list and automagical check for new messages and sync the mirror if a security messages arrives ... Comments? Hints?

[gentoo-user] Machine reboots when 'emerge sync'
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Well, I got a new problem today. It seems that everytime I try to do 'emerge sync', it works fine until it comes up to 'recalculating portage cache'. When it does, the machine reboots (or it just hangs if I'm in X). My /var/log/kern.log contains some binary junk, which I find a bit suspect for a log file. I've attached it so you can take a look at it. Don't bother with the beginning of the file, the junk is somewhere in the middle. I hope we can fix this problem soon.. Until then, I'll use my current Portage tree and won't update it.

[gentoo-user] installation woes
I've spent the last day working through a stage 1 install on an IBM Thinkpad T22. The install seems OK so far, except for pcmcia. For some reason pcmcia fails on startup.

I'm not saying that you _have_ to tweak Mutt in order to get it to work. I guess I myself would prefer "default"-Mutt over Pine. The bad part is that in order for Mutt to work as a high-volume mailer, you need to use procmail, which has the suckingest syntax I ever saw in a rc-file. I know there are some replacements for procmail, such as maildrop, but they somehow all seem to inherit the syntax stupidity from procmail. (On a side note, I am thinking of making a Ruby module that would make it easy to roll your own procmail replacement, with rules embedded. With a good example file, this might make a newbie-friendly replacement for procmail, which would also encourage people to start learn programming.) -- Björn K. H.

Great thing about mutt is you type mutt and press and you are reading your mail within 0-1 second, while using something like gnus might take you 2-6 seconds to be up and reading mail (depending on how you have everything set up). Mutt has a very small learning curve (as opposed to Pine which has *no* learning curve) as opposed to emacs / gnus which has a naughty little learning curve, but you should be up and running with gnus within 01-30 days if you are so inclined and determined to do so. I would suggest something like Mutt if you are comming from something similar to Mozilla, as there is not much reading and *man* mutt'in' to begin with, but I suggest gnus if you are already using emacs. I can proudly say I have not had one commercial email which has not been zapped by gnus's scoring and regexp rules and could not be happier with my mail / news reader, on the other hand, I have been spending quite a few hours a day getting a hang of the whole GNU "emacs" (gnus) sexperience (thanks to mkennedy). I never really put much time into figuring out if the following could be done in 'mutt', so any of you mutt users correct me or enlighten me if the following can be done. See, I have about 26 aliases in my /etc/mail/aliases file (along with 32+ virtual domains) which generate quite a bit of email a day. I (maybe due to lack of RTFM'ing) pretty much had 26 accounts on my system to maintain order, since having all of those aliases going into one account created one large headache for me. You can imagine what a pain it was logging into each account to check and see if I had mail... what a drag! In comes gnus to the rescue! I now only have *one* (as opposed to 26) personal account which I use for mail! This due to gnus's advanced way of mail handling and filtering. I'll be honest with you, I've only really been using gnus for the last 20-40 days, but oh man has this not been the answer to my prayers. My mailbox has never been *cleaner* or more desirable than it is now. I'm sure I could have *probably* of done this with mutt, but I never bothered learning how to do so since I didnt really have to learn much to use it. So, maybe that is my bad, but I'm doing it with gnus, so I'm excused :p Bottom line: Use pine if you dont want to think much and just want something reliable and worry-free. Use mutt if you want a bit more control over your mail client and just wanna be up and running with minimal fuss. Use gnus (emacs) if you wanna spend long hours awake tweaking your .emacs and .gnus files and learning a whole new way of looking @ a mail / news client. Be prepared to spend more hours with this puppy than your current girlfriends or wives, and dont say I didnt warn you when they get pissed cuz you're spendin more time with your newsreader than *them* (yes them ;)). You wont be dissapointed with gnus... I can tell you that much. Gee, I wonder why I'm awake @ 11:29 UTC... oh yeah I'm tweaking my .gnus file :)) Have fun with whatever choice you make :) -- Louis C.

Mike Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [20030308 08:21]: > I hear good things of mutt, but never used it myself. There is > something based on/around emacs I believe (gnus ?) But my > personal fave is pine. Mutt is really good (I'm using it right now (or rather I'm using Vim in Mutt right now)). On the other hand it has a quite large learning curve. You really have to get into heavy conf-file editing to unleash its full power. This is by the way the only one of these three that handles PGP in an RFC-compliant way. Pine works and has simple configuration, and a simple build-in editor (pico), but has some misfeatures, such as non(but almost)-standard mailboxes and not being free software. Some people might also like the build-in newsreader. Gnus is a story by itself. It's really a newsreader, that can read mail by some tweaking. I guess the harm is already done if you're using emacs, though. (But you can of course use emacs with both Pine and Mutt, if you want to). -- Björn K. H.

[gentoo-user] FAM & imon
I'm having problems with getting FAM to use imon. I have compiled imon as a module (as requested in the kernel help) and read as much as I can about FAM. The problem is that imon doesn't seem to be used and as a result KDE Konq doesn't keep up with what is happening with the files it is showing. ie. I can create a file and it will not detect this event or I can delete a file in the directory and it will keep displaying the file. Another thing is that there are seconds delay in reporting the file size; which suggest FAM is polling. Has any Gentoo guru got this to actually work? I have used this on a Mandrake install so I'm trying to mimic this as I find the feature handy. Result for imon "lsmod" imon6820 0 (unused) Is there config files I need to tweak? The FAM documentation that I have read doesn't talk about having to point FAM towards imon in any way? Is there something I'm missing? I would be grateful for any assistance.

Re: [gentoo-user] init scripts and linux-wlan-ng
Here is what I found in the documentation of wireless-tools. See if you like the compromise, or else I think you may have to do a little programmin. Now, when you are at work you do : > cardctl scheme default And at home, you do : > cardctl scheme home I guess you get the idea ;-) More elaborated configurations : -- Some people may need some more complex configurations. For example, you might want to do one of the following thing : o cycle through a set of schemes o autodetect the proper scheme There is currently no support to do that. However, the Wireless Tools package contains a tool called "iwgetid" that can help in this job. The source code contains some hints on how to achieve the above thing. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] init scripts and linux-wlan-ng
1) Have you thought about "rc-update add wlan ..."? 2) I assume you have the reason to use different wlancfg-xxx settings, otherwise, wlancfg-DEFAULT should work with any AP. Like I use different channel at home that at school, I just comment out CHANNEL. A suggestion: How about messing with wireless.opts file? Maybe there are options that could achieve what you have in mind. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Canon N640P scanner and SANE
Hello, I managed to get my Canon N640P scanner working with sane-backends-1.0.9 half a year ago, but I recently reinstalled my Gentoo and now I cannot get it working again. The scanner is a paraller port version and uses the canon_pp backend for SANE. I remember that I had to enable force_nibble from the canon_pp.conf to get it working, as it was giving I/O errors without it. Now I am unable to get the scanner detected by xsane / scanimage. When I try to scanimage -d canon_pp:/dev/lp0 -T, it spews an I/O error. The scanner makes this short sound, kind of like aligning itself and then it stops. The kernel detects my parport0, dmesg shows this: parport0: PC-style at 0x3bc (0x7bc), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,ECP,DMA] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). I'll paste the relevant parts of my kernel .config here, maybe I missed something there. # # Parallel port support # CONFIG_PARPORT=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_CML1=m # CONFIG_PARPORT_SERIAL is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y # CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_AMIGA is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_MFC3 is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_ATARI is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_GSC is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_SUNBPP is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER is not set CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y CONFIG_PRINTER=m # CONFIG_LP_CONSOLE is not set CONFIG_PPDEV=m -- Aki Hänninen - Registered Linux user #215071 All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
