[gentoo-user] Adding fonts to Gimp-1.3
Hello: I've been reading all kinds of forums on this issue, but so far have yet to find anything resembling a simple howto. I'm running xfree 4.3.0-r2, gimp 1.3.15, and xft 2.0.1. None of the howto's or forums seem to be conclusive - leaving me feeling unsure of which method to implement. Can anyone offer some feedback on which method worked best for them? My objective is to be able to insert hebrew/aribic characters into graphics. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance, Steven -- Know your neighbor.

[gentoo-user] Mad at Mozilla 1.4 : it broke my galeon.
Hi all, I am having a bit of trouble with mozilla 1.4. I usually use galeon, and, ever since I emerged mozilla 1.4, it does not work anymore. The symptoms are always the same : I call galeon, nothing happens, then my computer slows down a lot and X exits. I topped the computer to see what was happening, and it appears that the process called galeon-bin just runs and runs at full CPU until it has exhausted the whole RAM space. I tried the following : 1: emerge unmerge galeon USE='-gtk2' emerge galeon. Did not work, same symptoms (it wants to emerge galeon-1.2.10a, which is fine with me) 2: emerge unmerge mozilla galeon USE='-gtk2' emerge galeon The computer emerges mozilla-1.4, mozilla-1.3 and galeon, but same symptoms again. 3: emerge unmerge mozilla galeon delete every single file that had to do with those, marked mozilla-1.4 unstable (KEYWORDS=~x86) in my $PORTAGE_OVERLAY directory, USE='-gtk2' emerge mozilla mozilla compiles, installs and works fine (version 1.3) USE='-gtk2' emerge galeon galeon compiles and installs fine, but same symptoms. 4: emerge unmerge mozilla galeon marked mozilla-1.4 stable in the $PORTAGE_OVERLAY dir, marked galeon-1.3.5-r1 stable in the $PORTAGE_OVERLAY dir, emerge mozilla galeon mozilla comiles and installs fine, as do galeon, but, again, same symptoms : mozilla works fine and galeon does not.

Unless you get scsi drives (which I don't think they make scsi dvd-rw's yet), you should not put more than one drive per IDE chain, or you'll probably end up burning a lot of coasters.

The following commands set these codes: setkeycodes e05b 125 setkeycodes e05c 126 setkeycodes e05d 127 This can now tell the computer something interesting about pressing these keys. Unfortunately, they still don't do anything. Fortunately, there's a program called loadkeys. Run it and type the following: keycode 125 = Decr_Console keycode 126 = Incr_Console ^D I don't know what the special name for flipping consoles is, but this is very basic. I assume one could also run `loadkeys keymapping` where keymapping has the map that you want. I have not tested that out yet - it's one I want to try due to the ease of adding that into load scripts.

RE: [gentoo-user] Adding fonts to Gimp-1.3
Steven, I've been reading all kinds of forums on this issue, but so far have yet to find anything resembling a simple howto. I'm running xfree 4.3.0-r2, gimp 1.3.15, and xft 2.0.1.

Re: [gentoo-user] Local mail
That still doesn't change the fact that currently, in version 8.9.12 there are no known security issues with the sendmail distribution. There are no known exploits the current patched version of Windows XP I use at work, either. I'm not saying sendmail is more secure than QMail, I'm just saying it is currently not less secure either. It is by inherent design flaws; not merely based on current code revisions. It's qmail, not Qmail. Sorry, pet peeve. --snip-- yet it keeps resending ignoring your 55x responce.) If a sendmail flaw is found I will be either patching it manually, or just emerge -u sendmail and not thinking again about it. I'm sure everyone is very thankful that you properly set up your Sendmail server to work securely. However, the unfortunate fact is that many MTA admins publically accessible Sendmail mail servers do not. Because: Sendmail is needlessly complex due to years of patching on top of patching and rewrites; which in my opinion can lead to configuration mistakes. I think any experience admin agrees that Sendmail tops the list for Worst Configuration File award. It tries to be everything all at once, which in a proper design--the true unix fashion--smaller, focused programs should contribute to the greater whole. But, you are correct; any MTA is susecptable to misconfiguration. I simply steer towards qmail because it's much harder /to/ misconfigure, and in my opinion from an overall design standpoint, it makes much more sense. -brian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Bootstrapping different hardware setups?
Hey all. I'm starting to work on my Gentoo OpenMosix cluster. I've got the home node working just fine, I think (forgot to re-emerge the alsa stuff, but that got fixed easily). I'm running a DHCP server on it, and now I want to create a bootable CD for my wife's computer, so I can test out the cluster on more than one computer. I know I could just setup a directory for her system, chroot into it and do the Gentoo setup on there including all compiles, but as I need it all to fit onto CD when it's done (at least for now), I'd like to bootstrap my existing configuration to do it. Once I can figure out how to do this, and have more than one node functional on the cluster, I'll be able to faster compile everything on the home node, and it'll migrate as necessary. At least, that's the plan. It should speed up customization of other computers as well. Can anyone point me to some M's to FR for this, or lend a hand in setting it up? Thanks very much!

Is there something I can do to flush both out of my system and start again from scratch, as it were? emerge unmerge realplayer mplayer should do the trick. What was your problem exactly? A realvideo file doesn't play? How does it fail? Have you tried different realvideo files from different sources? Are those files local or are you playing a stream from a realserver? OK, I did that, then I re-emerged realplayer and tested it on a number of different real audio/video streams/files, and it worked just fine. So far so good. Then I emerged mplayer again, there was a line that said something about setting the reallibdir to the correct /opt/RealPlayer8/Codecs directory. Any typos are probably my bad memory, I didn't think to copy it at the time. But after mplayer got compiled, I've been having the same problems with it: 1) I tried it with a quicktime first (Troops, worked just fine!) 2) I tried it with a local RealVideo file, but it didn't work... the sound was fine, but the picture didn't update, and started out full of square artifacts 3) I tried one of the realvideo streams again, but this time it crashed mplayer. I first tried it with the RAM redirect file, but mplayer said it wasn't a valid file. Then I tried it with the .smi file that was the actual source, and that's when mplayer crashed. 4) Another real stream, audio this time, I tried with the rtsp:// url, but mplayer came back with Unable to open URL: http://rtsp://...;, RAM file for that one came back with the usual unrecognized. I'm not sure what else to try at this point. I can use RealPlayer, which is what I've been doing because I've never seen a working version of mplayer personally.

OK, I'll do this, though I've never done this before. Announcing... me. I'm signing up to the list (again) because I'll really be sticking around for a while this time.

Re: [gentoo-user] gcc 3
Maybe you were wondering if when you recompile glibc you need to recompile world? Answer, in this case, no. Initially when switching from some versions of glibc you needed to recompile all static libs on the system, but that only really broke development against them. Have a nice day. On Fri, 2003-07-18 at 00:03, Dan Foster wrote: Hot Diggety! blade- was rumored to have written: When I do emerge -Up world it lists the following [ebuildU ] sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.3-r1 [1.3.1-r1] [ebuildU ] sys-devel/gcc-3.2.3-r1 [3.2.2] [ebuildU ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 [2.3.1-r4] Will I have to recompile everything again or is it just a minor change the will not require me to do much at all. Well, depends on how you look at it. It will indeed recompile all these three ebuilds... but all you need to do to upgrade them will be: # emerge -u world So, you don't have to do much, but you could have some waiting for the compiles to finish, depending on how fast your system is.
