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

I got farther, but when I did an emerge system I get an error while it is building sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r7.

I assume that this isn't a problem here though - I thought the emerge sync updated the sources so I wouldn't have to worry about that... Do I need to set any flags differently in the make.conf? Could it be that I made a bad disk and have a corrupted file or does it not matter because of the emerge sync? Should I just try the stage 1 install again? Suggestions?

Re: [gentoo-user] determining length of MPEG video
I wanted to ask if this program can rip a DVD from a CDRW drive, or do you have to use a DVD drive? (Some of the PC ones will, I think.) This is technically impossible. A DVD is a different type of disc. A cd-rw cannot read a DVD unless it is some sort of DVD/cd-rw. The reason is simply that a DVD uses a much finer laser, I want to say something like a tenth the size. This is why it can also read cds. The theory of a cd and DVD is more or less the same I believe, its just the size of laser. However at one point they stopped producing even CD-RW/DVD drivers because the laser was so small it couldn't realiably write a cd. Too easy for it to jitter I believe. -- Christopher In 1968 it took the computing power of 2 C-64's to fly a rocket to the moon.

Of course, with a banker and coffee shop density as high as it is in Toronto, you kind of need that sort of access.

Without power, most computers will have a hard time to do a clean shutdown. Or, does your computer provide a delay when you push the power off button? You push power off and the computer powers off a minute later? Is this somehow configurable in your BIOS? (I must admit I don't have the very latest computers myself, so there may be some new hardware out there that I've not seen yet.)

RE: [gentoo-user] [OT] Laptop in Europe
From some of what I've heard, most parts of Europe have their networks publicly owned still, so within a single country it should be fairly consistent. No idea on how well that would work travelling between countries, though. Phone jacks and 220V plugs are typically different between European countries... IIRC in some cases different countries use the same jack, but wire it differently! You can get a travel kit at a good (European?) electronics store, or at an electronics store at an airport. I would expect you can find publically accessible (privately hosted) WiFi hotspots at all major European cities. But, again, regulations concerning WiFi are different between European countries. They differ in channels allowed, licensing, and if you are allowed to use it outside of a building (as if the radio waves will stop at the walls...). Any Italians or French out on this list?

[gentoo-user] newbie question
Title: Message Hi all, I have just installed Gentoo 3 days ago and first, I would like to thank people who works on this projet .. It is a dream All my installation process was OK thanks to the very good documentation and the work made in the scripts by Gentoo team. I have installed KDE ... from GRP ... But when I try to configure KDE, I don't find the french support in available languages ? Is there any binary package that have other languages than english for KDE ? If not ? How can I compile KDE to have this support ? After a look a the docs on the web site, I have tried to make : emerge unmerge kde and then,I have just writethe same command thanduring the installation GRP processbut without the "-k" option : USE="bindist" emerge kde But nothing compile ... It uses the binary packages ... In fact, I don't thinkIt delete my previousKDE installation ... What is wrong ? Can someone help me on this matter ???

Interesting. I'm learning new stuff here. (I *really* should build myself a new computer soon. My newest box is about 4 years old. ;-) Does this mean that the OS can intercept you pushing the power off button and do something? - Like booting to another OS on the same computer? - Like doing a controlled shutdown instead of just letting the computer turn off the power? - Like even refusing to power off?

On Monday 25 August 2003 18:10, Peron, Stéphane wrote: And if I want to recompile KDE anyway ... ;-) ??? How can I do this from a GRP installation ? (It just to understand how portage works) Ordinarily, to recompile a package you can just give the command emerge package/name. However kde-base/kde is a little different. All it does is depend on individual parts of kde as a convenience. If you look in /usr/portage/kde-base/ you'll see many packages.Kde depends on: kde-base/kdelibs kde-base/kdebase kde-base/kdeaddons kde-base/kdeadmin kde-base/kdeartwork kde-base/kdeedu kde-base/kdegames kde-base/kdegraphics kde-base/kdemultimedia kde-base/kdenetwork kde-base/kdepim kde-base/kdetoys kde-base/kdeutils The only other package in the kde-base group is arts, which is depended on by some of the above packages. This gives a few options on how to recompile. The most basic is emerge -e kde-base/kde. This, however, won't only recompile kde but will recompile everything in your system that kde depends on, and anything those packages depend on. Usually, with this sort of command, most of the base system will be recompiled as well. To only recompile kde, including arts, you would need to emerge each of the packages listed above. This could be done one at a time or all together; i.e. emerge kde-base/kdelibs; emerge kde-base/kdebase; emerge kde-base/kde-addons; ... or emerge kde-base/kdelibs kde-base/kdebase kde-base/kdeaddons ... The latter command can be shortened somewhat and also made to include arts with the following: cd /usr/portage; emerge `find kde-base -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1` Note that they are `` and not '', shift-~ on a US keyboard. I hope this helped you to understand a little about how portage works! Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Usually the button is configurable in BIOS so that it either powers off straight away or powers off after the button is held for 4 seconds, the latter being the default. When the button is depressed an ACPI event is generated, which the OS intercepts and reacts to accordingly. With acpid, your first two suggestions above are both possible - the third could only be the result of a buggy motherboard (or motherboard producer ;-). There are other power-related ACPI events as well, such as depressing of a sleep button and for a laptop there's also low battery, removing/inserting a battery and closing/opening the lid, attaching/detaching mains power and more.

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo on RAID box question
Hi Kai, I use this RAID-0 box to test dual-boot OS, Win2K and Linux. I may encounter difficulty in this test. Win2K can see the raid controller but Gentoo can't. After first installing Win2K and coming to installing Linux the latter can't see the raid controller but 2 drives. Gentoo will be installed on the 1st drive leaving the 2nd drive empty.

Re: [gentoo-user] Power off button
First, trust me. I'm really seriously interested in understanding the potential of this. Jason Stubbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Usually the button is configurable in BIOS so that it either powers off straight away or powers off after the button is held for 4 seconds - Does this mean that the OS has no more than 4 seconds to do a clean shutdown? (I douth so, since I couldn't make this happen on the most feature-poor of any of my Linux installations, no matter the distro.) - If not, what happens? Does the OS tell the BIOS that OK, I promise you to do a shutdown and a software driven power off. Trust me. ? By braking that promise, the OS could effectively inhibit a power off action. I doubt both of the above and believe that something smarter is going on. I just wonder how it's designed to work. Sorry to be so nagging about this, but I can see some interesting usage of this.

The 4-second thing people have talked about here isn't that the power-off happens 4 seconds after you press the button - it's that you have to hold the button down for 4 seconds or nothing happens. The purpose of action #2 is to shut down a machine that refuses to turn off because it's wedged or otherwise incapable of shutting itself down in response to action #1. Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jason Stubbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Usually the button is configurable in BIOS so that it either powers off straight away or powers off after the button is held for 4 seconds - Does this mean that the OS has no more than 4 seconds to do a clean shutdown? (I douth so, since I couldn't make this happen on the most feature-poor of any of my Linux installations, no matter the distro.) - If not, what happens? Does the OS tell the BIOS that OK, I promise you to do a shutdown and a software driven power off. Trust me. ? By braking that promise, the OS could effectively inhibit a power off action. I doubt both of the above and believe that something smarter is going on. I just wonder how it's designed to work. Sorry to be so nagging about this, but I can see some interesting usage of this.

Re: [gentoo-user] Power off button
Now a small light starts to go up for me too. ;-) So the idea would be to capture that the user does a short push of the power button (shorter than what it takes to force the BIOS to just brutally turn it off) and when this short signal generates an event to the OS, do a graceful shutdown. Great. - Push the button for a short moment: Shutdown with power off. - Push and hold the button: Immediate power off. Nice. Really nice. Gus -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Intel PRO/100 VE integrated installation
I was wondering if anyone has had anyluck getting the Intel Pro 100M Integrated PCI NIC working and which driver they used? I am attemping to install Gentoo 1.4 but the ethernet card is not being detected. I have recently installed RedHat 9 on the same machine with the same problem. I was on the Intel website earlier and it said that integrated cards in the Pro/100 family where an OEM deal and to contact my computer manufacturer. Ignoring them, I downloaded the latest e100 driver and crossed my fingers. No dice. Same as Redhat, the card was auto-detected as (eepro100) EtherExpress 100. However this driver doesnt work either. Running 'modprobe e100' gives me an error message 'No such Device' and 'insmod ... failed' . If i run 'modprobe eepro100' I get no messages, then I run 'ifconfig eth0' and get: BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU 1500 Metric:1 (everything not filled in is 0) RX: 0 TX: 18 txqueuelen:100 TX bytes:4460 Interrupt:11 Base address: 0x7000 I have a Dell Dimension 4550 and of course Dell does not support anything but windows for my computer.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to install NPTL v0.55?
Hi! At this point, I'd almost trust NPTL more. After following this thread, it seems you have the knowhow and motivation to fix buggy LT apps for NPTL if they break. Fixing buggy LT apps should be relatively easy, if they are buggy due to the current limitations of LT. If they are buggy otherwise, I guess, that's more a traditional Pthread debugging. Actually, my first motivation is to test NPTL. NPTL is certainly on its way to replace LT (not only because it's technically better- but also because the glibc maintainers decided to switch to NPTL). However (limitations asides) it remains that LT is, as of today, far more stable than NPTL. The only way we have to improve NPTL stability is: to use it!!! In all extends! So that problems show-up, and so that we can report those to the glibc maintainers (for instance, the last NPTL issue I remember is the SIGPIPE signal that is not processed correctly). That's basically why I'm eager to have NPTL. That's definitively use at your own risk, but yes, I think I'm prepare for that... As for NPTL+SMP, that goes double. LT is pretty much unmaintained at this point, and that's scarier than a few hitch es along the way. Actually, NPTL makes sense on SMP machine. Because, contrarily to LT, there is no manager thread (so certain Pthread functions don't get serialized). I'd be happy to offer any more system specific help WRT portage, ebuilds, gentoo, the linker, gcc etc. Get a basic grip on it, and go to town. Sounds like you're ready to break stuff. Wow, great. Thanks! I take the offer! I shall make some more thoughts, how I should organize my gentoo so that I have both NPTL and LT.
