Re: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: rpm problem
Well, rpm keeps it's own database that has nothing to do with portage so rpm won't know about all the stuff you install via emerge and vice versa. If you have programs that are not available via portage I'd suggest the following steps: 1. Search bugzilla - many times there are ebuilds in bugzilla that are not in the tree. If you find one then use it - even if you have to modify it slightly it's better than rpm. 2. Make your own ebuild. 3. Get the tarball, unpack it and then install as normal.

Re: [gentoo-user] ISP blocking smtp
I am not a networking expert. If they are blocking smtp as a protocol - dont know. If they are blocking inbound/outbound traffic to/form port 25 - simply changing the port may work. You may also try to use ssmtp ( smtp over ssl ) which uses port 465 , not 25. If you do ssmtp over a nonstandard port I don't think your ISP can stop you in any way. Since the communication is encrypted they can't really know if it smtp or just some random encrypted stream of data.

the pieces you need are mindi, mindi-kernel, and mondo-rescue. if you emerge -p mondo-rescue, I believe that you will also get mindi and mindi-kernel. But, I had to set my use to ~x86 to get a working version. I installed mondo and read up on it quite a bit last night. I appears that most ppl are booting it off of a cdrom or floppies.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome Office
Hi there,
Do not give up hope. But do not compare apples with pears. Gnome office are all
independent programs. Unlike OpenOffice witch is one big program. There are
three major (official) programs, like mentioned before. MrProject is not one of
them.
I'm pretty certain it is in the portage. Can not imagine it is not. But if I
can recall, I have been reading somewhere a long time ago that it changed it's
name. Only I can't remember what it is now.
If you look closely at the site to witch you are pointing at you will see that
it is not fairly up to date. It has a bottom line mentioning 2002, and the last
version 2003. I have been celebrating 2005 ;-) not so long ago. Also if you
click on the link witch you see in your image Gnome Office. You see directly
that Mr-Project is not included.
So keep on looking, only not for the name Mr-Project but for the new name.
Good hunting,
William.

Re: [gentoo-user] Cron Jobs.
Hi, Best way is to run 'crontab -e' as the user you want to set the crontab up for. You'll need to add that user to the 'cron' group in /etc/groups before it allow you to do it, unless you do it as root. Then, the line you want is probably: 10 */3 * * * wget -q -O /usr/share/xplanet/images/clouds_2000.jpg http://www.wizabit.eclipse.co.uk/xplanet/files/local/clouds_2000.jpg First field is 10 minutes past each our, next one is a trick for every 3 hours, you can do this with all other fields. For example, instead of doing 0,10,20,30,40,50 you can just do */10 in the minutes field. The next 3 are day of month, month, and day of week, but you already knew that. as for wget: almost right. Your command will have downloaded the image in the current working directory, probably /root if you put it in /etc/crontab. You need the -O to tell wget to put it elsewhere. To pipe to stdout, use '-', but since you're just putting it in a file you can put the file's path right in there.

One of the basic points with using Gentoo, IMHO, is that it *is* a source based distro. I think that's a common misconception about gentoo. If you read the Philosophy of Gentoo, at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/philosophy.xml , you can read We have become known as a from source distribution, but the heart of the Gentoo concept is not from source. From source is an important and key aspect of Gentoo, and something that was and will continue to be necessary for Gentoo, but it is not the only issue or most fundamental issue. The most fundamental issue is designing a technology that allows us and others to do what they want to do, without restriction. and, a little further down It's important that our tools support binary packages, because binary packages are widely used and widely in demand in the Linux community. If our tools don't support binary packages, then we can't claim that our tools are designed to allow a user to do anything he or she might want to do.

I'm still confused about the network architecture and where these servers actually live, but as I mentioned, the policy is to block port 25 connection attempts, so as long as you have control of a server sitting outside the comcast domain, you can direct SMTP traffic to another port, say, 2500.

You can download python from http://www.python.org Unzip it, run
./configure with the parameters portage is using (you'll find this in file
/usr/bin/ebuild.sh in function econf) and then run make. The parameters
portags is using for make install can you find as well in file
/usr/bin/einstall in function einstall. After that, your python should be
complete thus you should be able to emerge normally. what parameters should
i use? econf() { if [ -z ${ECONF_SOURCE} ]; then ECONF_SOURCE=. fi if [
-x ${ECONF_SOURCE}/configure ]; then if hasq autoconfig $FEATURES !
hasq autoconfig $RESTRICT; then if [ -e /usr/share/gnuconfig/ -a -x
/bin/basename ]; then local x for x in $(find ${S} -type f -name
config.guess -o -name config.sub) ; do einfo econf: updating $x with
/usr/share/gnuconfig/$(/bin/basename ${x}) cp
/usr/share/gnuconfig/$(/bin/basename ${x}) ${x} done fi fi if [ ! -z
${CBUILD} ]; then EXTRA_ECONF=--build=${CBUILD} ${EXTRA_ECONF} fi if [ !
-z ${CTARGET} ]; then EXTRA_ECONF=--target=${CTARGET} ${EXTRA_ECONF} fi
# if the profile defines a location to install libs to aside from default,
pass it on. # if the ebuild passes in --libdir, they're responsible for the
conf_libdir fun. if [ ! -z ${CONF_LIBDIR} ] [ ${*/--libdir} == $*
]; then if [ ${*/--prefix} == $* ]; then CONF_PREFIX=/usr else local
args=$(echo $*) local -a pref=($(echo ${args/*--prefix[= ]}))
CONF_PREFIX=${pref} fi export CONF_PREFIX
EXTRA_ECONF=--libdir=/${CONF_PREFIX}/${CONF_LIBDIR} ${EXTRA_ECONF} fi echo

--sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var/lib \ ${EXTRA_ECONF} \ $@ The
parameters above are the one portage is using.
Additionally, you can choose optional parameters which you'll get by
running ./configure --help
${ECONF_SOURCE}/configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --host=${CHOST} \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/usr/share/info \ --

As I mentioned earlier, gentoo already has recovery procedures builtin
(README.RESCUE), so you don't need to download and built python from
external sources.
If you want to do it the hard way, fine and dandy, but it's not necessary.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT web based terminal emulator
I'd say there are a couple of options. One that I would choose is OpenVPN.

It must be possible to connect even from another firewall/proxy server protected network, so it can't use ports connection which will not pass through. My idea is, that on firewall I will run a servlet (on Tomcat or JBoss), client will be browser (Mozilla) with java/applet support. Browser connects to servlet and downloads/starts applet. Servlet connects to a device. Applet-servlet (encrypted) communication will run only on regular http connection...

Re: [gentoo-user] ALSA + Audigy 2 = Botched mixer settings?
Yeah, that is annoying. I emerged good old alsamixergui for that reason.

My problem is that something with the mixer settings it botched. In alsamixer there's just a long row of volume sliders, in kmix there are no inputs. Line has a volume slider in output, but this is not where it's supposed to be (knoppix does it just fine). Is there something I can change? I need Line, Line2, Mic, etc. to be seen as inputs (mostly so I can get sound into my system from my TV card - Plugged into Line).

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] apache, php, mysql
Why not let them access the tables via OpenOffice's database front end? You can also look at Rekall...may have changed its name by now. Kevin.
