Robert Persson wrote: But what's wrong with tools to make things easier if they don't impair the performance of the system? Why not have a nice simple X-configurator that does the job of the SuSE or mandrake equivalents? You could even unmerge it To me this depends upon what level of X configurability you are talking about. 1. Do you want something for initial configuration, to recognize the graphics card, monitor, keyboard and mouse, and make a reasonable defaults to get those things working at a decent color depth and resolution? 2. Or do you want something that allows you to tweak and configure every possible setting of the graphics card, monitor timings, mouse sample rates, etc. For me, #1 is silly on a modern computer, because all of that can be detected and configured automatically. The X server can detect what graphics chip I have, how large my LCD screen is, what kind of USB mouse I have, etc. Autoconfiguration is the goal of X -configure, and indeed you should be able to run X.org even *without* a configuration file and have it use sane defaults. Most users don't want to have to configure such basic details, whether it is in a GUI or not, just like they don't expect to tell the system how much memory is installed. I might want to adjust some of those settings, which is where something like #2 would be useful. But I doubt anyone could sanely do this for every possible setting on every possible driver including the proprietary ones. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} Don't buy from NETGEAR
How else do we know about problem hardware and vendors with Linux - if it is fixable we get to know about it, if not we find out why and gain from that. Is this gentoo relevant? Yes and no - such publicity is what makes manufacturers sit up and take notice and gentoo as well as linux in general will benefit - but not if we accept it and hide our heads in the sand. As well as poor hardware, netgear support sucks. In OZ we are supported out of asia by people who dont understand english or our culture (Oz has a culture?) - it took many days/emails until it was escalated to the point where I got to email a westerner who understood what I was trying to say. In my case it was a firewall/router that would go to sleep: reccomendation was to upgrade to beta, unsupported drivers. It doesnt work, sorry ... In the end I left a linux box up 24 hrs sending keep-alives, so the windows boxes would still have net access in the morning.

[gentoo-user] ggi is low level library (lower then SDL)?
Being dumb again. I really know nothing about graphic libraries. I noticed many packages can be compiled with ggi or sdl USE flag, and libsdl can be compiled with ggi USE flag, but libggi cannot be compiled with sdl USE flag. Then I come to guess, since SDL can use GGI for rendering, GGI should be some lowever level graphic engine. Thus, if an application can be compiled to work with either ggi or sdl, then it should be faster using ggi. I am using ultra-sparc U2 with a very normal video card, what should I choose if an application (game or video player) support both SDL and GGI?

Personally I wouldn't live without Kontact - which is more of a KDE killer app (together with the F4 open terminal function in Konq) ever since Evolution drifted away from the integrated approach. Regards, Martin S I agree that Kontact is a pretty major reason to run linux. I would also say that MLDonkey is a much better way to do file sharing than what is available for windows because it is not vulnerable to gui crashes and therefore runs much longer. If you are into typography (a minority interest I know) then the humble fontforge is pretty damn good. Much better than Fontographer which is hugely expensive despite the fact that it hasn't changed for several years. Zynaddsubfx is a wonderful musical instrument, even though there are still many more great softsynths for windows than there are for linux. And I almost forgot jack! A fantastic sound server. Also plays well with AudioUnits in OSX, which opens a realm of possibilities for networked signal processing between *nix boxes. Still short of mature clients, although Linux music software has come a long way recently. There's a recording studio in Minneapolis that makes heavy use of Linux.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDM configuration...
Thank you both for your comments. A little bit disappointing given that there is so much questionable configurability in the kdmrc file, yet something I actually used is taken away with no configuration option to put it back :-/ It may be that most users like to stick to the one WM, but how many would know to tinker with the menu before they login for the first time to choose their preferred WM. Or perhaps it is all a cunning plan to increase KDE market share Anyway, at least I now know to stop looking. I guess I either change the source or roll back to an older version.

On the bottom line are four buttons/menus: Go, Clear, Menu and Shutdown, with 'menu' just containing the 'restart x-server' option. However on my Gentoo install, I get no Session Type line, and only three options on the bottom line: Login, Clear and Menu. Now the Shutdown and Session Type functionality does exist on the gentoo setup, but it is burried down in the 'Menu' sub-menus, nowhere near as convenient to get to, and as I change window managers all the time, annoying not to have a display of what the default is going to be for the next session. So I am curious - is there a setting somewhere that I have not stumbled accross that controls this behaviour? Has KDM taken a backward step? Or did SuSE make some improvements that hasn't found their way into other systems yet?? AFAIK, you're out of luck, unless you want to modify the KDM source yourself. I don't remember how 2.2 kdm worked, but I know all the 3.x kdms I've used have the layout you describe. Also, IIRC, there have been discussions on the KDE lists about what the name of the Menu menu should be, because of its contents, including the Session Type submenu. Actually , now that you mention it, I do remember the session type option. But I certainly haven't seen it since I moved to Gentoo (post-kde-3.0), and I do think it eventually disappeared from my Mandrake kdm back when I used Mandrake. Like John I am pretty sure that this is a feature of the current kdm setup. I got lost finding sessions to start with. I dunno why they hid it in menu - perhaps to unclutter, or perhaps to be less confusing to people that just want to keep using the same WM.

I know people have pissed and moaned about how you must run all updates by hand to make sure everything goes perfectly well. And I can agree...for the first machine. But if you do the same process manually on two machines, you can cope but when you get to seven or eight machines, it is miserable. I have a customer with 15 machines and the thought of updating all of those on a monthly basis[1] is frightening. This process must be automated otherwise, you can't use gentoo in widespread deployments. another place for process improvements could be made is updating the configuration files[2]. If the installation process or at least the configuration file update process could create a patch file between the original baseline configuration file (i.e. the one belonging to the current install package) then apply the patch file to the configuration file, we wouldn't need to work so hard. If the patch doesn't work right, store all the information in the configuration file and tell the user. When automated things break, it's OK to scream for human but at least try to automate because it will work right most of the time.

Le mercredi 06 avril 2005 15:26 +0200, Volker Armin Hemmann a crit : ggi is a lowlevel graphics system, to replace X or svgalib. SDL is an abstraction for ogl/X/svgalib/directX and a lot of other stuff. Not quite. GGI is an abstraction as well. You can run ggi apps over X, framebuffer, directX, Aqua, across multiple displays or over the network. It is much more flexible than SDL with respect to universality. But it is only an abstraction for graphics and input. SDL aims more at portable games. So it offers abstractions for network communications, sound, etc... In this regard it is much like a cross-platform directX. SDL can use GGI for its graphics, but has to rely on other interfaces for sound or network. GGI could very well use the graphics part of SDL to do its rendering. They probably just need someone to write the corresponding target... mode imagination on You could for example use an SDL game over X, with the X server using a ggi driver instead of direct hardware (it is called XGGI).

I agree, thats the whole purpose of the wiki.
Should I update the wiki to include this whole line:
cat links.txt | sort | uniq | xargs -n 1 -i{} sh -c 'for i in {}; do
wget -c $i break; done'
instead of the current one:
wget -i links.txt

[gentoo-user] Portage downgrading question
Hi All- I needed to fill out a PDF form today, so I figured I'd try the new Adobe Acrobat Reader 7. I did the following: `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -pv acroread` And subsequently emerged the package without the -pv. All went well, and acroread seems to work happily enough on my box. I'm impressed with the software, I just wish it was open-source. So now I'd like to do an `emerge -pvuD world` to clear up a few GLSAs that have come across in the last few days. Alas, this is among the output: [ebuild UD] app-text/acroread-5.10 [7.0] -cjk -noplugin 9,068 kB `man emerge` explains well enough why it's trying to downgrade acroread. The only place I can find some semblance of a recommendation to prevent this behavior is here: http://users.dslextreme.com/~craig.lawson/linux_notes/gentoo_portage.html Where the author suggests modifying /var/lib/portage/world so that the package reads: =app-text/acroread-7.0 But doing this doesn't change emerge's behavior when doing an `emerge -pvuD world`.

I hear Mandrake have quite a nice GUI configuration tool these days. IIRC when i installed Gentoo in my newly-built box in 2003, i used the X config file created by Mandrake from my 2000 box, as i use the same monitor for both machines. Gentoo is not for beginners, but it doesn't hurt to have good tools sometimes that includes a GUI interface, eg configuring Xscreensaver. even Vim is easier to use in the Gvim version, at least for me. there's no harm in being a fanatic, if you know when to stop (grin).

Re: [gentoo-user] learning to write ebuilds, failed to login anonymously into cvs server
Note if you're not used to V.C.S.'s :: you can get tings without *officially* checking them out. There are instructions for the Gentoo version of this somewhere, I suppose. rgh.

[gentoo-user] Shared ftp directory?
Hello, I'm trying to come up with a way for two seperate users logging in via FTP to have a location where they can share files back and forth. That is to say, user A and user B would both be able to get to this, write to it, delete files even if they were put there by the other user etc. The only thing I came up with so far (I was in a hurry) was creating a seperate directory elsewhere, and having a symlink called shared in each of the users home dirs pointing at this seperate directory. The dir is owned by user A, and the group is set to that of B, and the dir is mode 770. This works out fine when I log in via ncftp, however when i use IE the shared item isn't even listed. I use proftpd for the ftp server, so I found the ShowSymlinks option and set that. However it still doesn't show this symlink in either user A or B's home dir, when using IE. Proftpd has a setting to show dotfiles, but due to other uses of the ftp server, that's just not acceptable. So I'm looking for a better way to do this, any ideas? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Two users, two soundcards. How ?
Thanks for the help everyone. FYI, this is the reply I ( eventually ) got from alsa-user: ___ A pc has two soundcards, and two users. I want one soundcard to be accessible ONLY to one of the users, the other - ONLY to the other user. The device files in /dev/snd/ with a C in their name are card- specific (the digit following the C is the card number). Can this be done through .asoundrc ? Probably not. You could create user-specific .asoundrc files that redefine the default device, but those wouldn't prevent the users from accessing other cards directly.

I am using ALSA, no OSS emulation layer. phew, that's too much for me ;-) . This is concerning ALSA sequencer, and I'd recommend to join the ALSA user mailing list or the linux audio user mailinglist. AFAIK, asoundrc does not contain any section about user priviledges, but maybe I'm wrong. Best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
