Hmm. Not quite enough information here, would be useful to know if you're using ALSA or not. And which particular output plugin you're using in xmms. There _is_ an issue with some ALSA drivers in that select() isn't always handled properly. I know this can cause similar effects if I'm playing sound through SDL, which is the default for mplayer. If I set mplayer to play through ALSA directly, it works just fine: if it's through SDL, then the music plays fast and then skips as mplayer tries to sync the audio and video back up again. If you're using ALSA, try making sure that xmms is using an ALSA output plugin directly rather than going through anything else first. If not, then I'm afraid I can't help you. ---+--- Bryan Feir VA3GBF|"Every man has somewhere in the back of his head Home:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | the wreck of a thing which he calls his | education." -- Stephen Leacock ---+--- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Perhaps better than a cp -a would be to enter: find dirtocp -depth -print -mount | cpio -pdfV /destpart where "dirtocp" is the path to the top of the directory structure to copy and "/destpart" is the full path to the mounted partition you wish to copy the file structure into. This copies every file, including directory structure, maintains ownership, creation time and permissions. The "-mount" prevents it from copying from a different partition than the one you start in (so /usr and /boot are not copied when you copy / ). This also prints one '.' to the screen for each file copied, so you can monitor progress. YMMV. In Harmony's Way and In A Chord, Tom ;-}) Tom.

I believe gif was non-free, but it's free now. Anyway, my gimp supports both gif and tiff. Which version do you use? I have 1.2.4. Also check with which USE flags gimp was compiled: $ etcat -u gimp (etcat is part of gentoolkit) If gimp was compiled without "tiff" USE flag then you will most probably have no tiff support in gimp. However gif support is always built in. If that's not the problem and GIF and Tiff are simply grayed out in the "Save" dialog box, then you can set "Determine File Type: By Extension" and then simply append "gif" or "tiff" to the file name.

I have a Promise and a Highpoint "BIOS controlled software RAID" controller, indeed, there are ataraid modules for these controllers, but they only provide _additional_ devices for the arrays defined in the BIOS. IIRC, the ataraid modules map the BIOS settings to the md modules to be compatible with the windows drivers.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Audigy2 configuration
Hi, This issue is not strictly gentoo-related, but I hope someone has encountered it in the past and can help me. I've recently bought an audigy2 card. I had no idea that it could be unsupported -- after all, the creative production is as mainstream as could be :). However, I can't get it to work. The alsa emu10k1 doesn't support it, but I hoped it would work in some sort of legacy mode. The module starts perfectly, but I can't hear anything from the speakers. (Yes, I did unmute the channels). Neither audigy2, nor audigy is not supported, according to alsa soundcard matrix, so I switched to OSS modules. The emu10k1 drivers from sourceforge.net should support audigy (not audigy2, though), but I can't even load the modules -- it exits with "unresolved symbol" error messages. Hope someone can help me.

[gentoo-user] Deleting /var/tmp/portage/*
Hello gentooers! A short question: Is it safe to wipe out contents of /var/tmp/portage directory? Quick searching in docs didnt give me an answer (perhaps that's because I'm too sleepy now).

I've built it from the ebuilds, and it seems to work but I admit I haven't actually committed anything yet :) My only complaint with the ebuild is that it seems to assume all network access will be done through webdav instead of the native svn server because it doesn't provide an init.d script. My impression is that most svn users are moving to svn server because of severe performance problems in webdav. Once I get around to actually using svn I'll make an init.d script and submit it to bugs.gentoo.org. Van -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Subversion Ebuild
Hey all, Is there anyone out there who uses the new subversion ebuilds in portage? I've used subversion heavily since November, but I never used the gentoo-provided ebuilds because they were so out of date, and Berkeley 4.0.14 seemed to do weird stuff whenever I tried to emerge it. On my server the Berkeley/Subversion stuff is installed manually in /usr/local/ instead. Now I notice that the subversion ebuild seems to be more or less up-to-date again. Can anyone tell me if they've tried it, and if it works well enough for me to use? I admit I'd much rather be using ebuilds than manually installed /usr/local packages, but I won't install it untill I've heard from someone that it works (with the mod_dav_svn module for apache2 etc).

If you can remember how the disk was laid out -- what the partitions were, what order they were in, what types they were, and how big they were -- then I think there's a way you can rewrite the table. I would guess that you could probably just re-enter the data in cfdisk or similar, but I'm not sure. Can anyone back me up on this?
