I would suggest writing a script for each wm that needs other apps started with it.

Re: [gentoo-user] PDF Server
Hi...you may not be looking for suggestions for improvements, but this just crossed my mind, and I thought I'd share it with you: Why not set it up to email the PDF to the user as an attachment? That way if they have to create a private/confidential document of some sort in PDF format, they don't have to worry so much about it being stuck on a public share. There are Perl modules, such as MIME::Parser, which afaik make it relatively easy to create MIME messages with attachments. Then all you'd have to do is figure out the email address of the user, and pipe it to sendmail. Just a thought from left field...admittedly slightly OT, but hopefully helpful.

Re: [gentoo-user] mod_mp3 problem
Hmm. I've never had any problems emerging xmms, but you can try an older ebuild by looking in /usr/portage for the xmms ebuilds, and then doing the following: ebuild xmms-x.x.x.ebuild merge Where x.x.x is the version number. If xmms stable is having a problem, it might be a good idea to file a bug, unless someone else here has any ideas how to fix your problem.

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't compile media-libs/gst-plugins
OK, it seems to be looking for arts in /usr/kde/3, which is wrong...since your KDEDIR is for KDE 3.1. As a kludge, my suggestion would be to symlink /usr/kde/3 to /usr/kde/3.1, and backup your old /usr/kde/3, if you have one. Then run ldconfig. If you upgraded to 3.1 from 3.0, chances are you still have some old programs somewhere that rely on 3.0 and just haven't been upgraded yet. If this is true, then you can expect those programs to break...but a simple re-emerge should fix them. Hope this helps. -- Josh On Wednesday 12 March 2003 20:23, you wrote: > On Wednesday 12 March 2003 2:31 pm, Joshua J.

Re: [gentoo-user] :(
I have an nVidia GeForce 2 MX in my desktop which I've been using for a while, and I'm really happy with it...I think personally that nVidia has done a pretty good job with their drivers, even though they're not OSS (and they should be). The only major issue I've had has been some memory leakage in kernel space requiring a reboot every few days, but it looks like this issue has been largely cleaned up. Just make sure you use agpgart (which is an option in the kernel), and not nVidia's AGP interface.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel Panic on first boot
Perhaps...I'm just going based on the Gentoo installation instructions, and my own (basic) understanding of ReiserFS. (see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap6) I haven't actually done any research into why this may or may not be needed, but IIRC Reiser packs the tails of files together into a single block if there's any wasted space. Notail disables this behavior, which some bootloaders may not be able to handle. (Imagine having the last few hundred bytes of your kernel mixed in with some other file in the same block...LILO can't handle it, I don't know about grub.)

This tends to be a pretty big time-saver. After you have a stage3 system setup, you'll have basic system utilities like a shell, cp, ls, fsck, etc. You still need to install programs like a cron daemon, a syslog daemon, and any other programs you want to use (X, mozilla, KDE, GNOME, etc). And, you'll also still need to compile your own kernel. Hope this helps. -- Josh - Joshua J.

It was a royal pain to get setup, but I think it works pretty well. Mainly, you have to generate keys, and add them to your ipsec.conf file on both machines.

[gentoo-user] Strange XChat Masking
I'm running the latest version of Portage in Stable, and I'm having a rather strange problem. A while back, I copied the XChat 2.0.0 ebuild and put it in my $PORTDIR_OVERLAY in the right place, so that I could install it even though it was marked unstable. Everything installed fine, but recently when trying to emerge -up world, I get this: condor@deneb ~ >> emerge -up world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuildUD] net-irc/xchat-1.8.10-r1 [2.0.0] condor@deneb ~ >> I have checked and verified the following: - PORTDIR_OVERLAY is set correctly. - The ebuild for xchat 2.0.0 is in the right place, and is marked as stable, just like I wanted it. - xchat does not appear in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask. I believe this started happening shortly /before/ I upgraded Portage, so I don't think it has anything to do with the new version, specifically. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Re: [gentoo-user] configuring wlan
You need to create yourself a net.wlan0 init script. Usually you can just copy net.eth0 and add "need pcmcia" to the depend() section. You'll also need to setup your wlan0 interface in /etc/conf.d/net...usually something like "iface_wlan0=dhcp" works just fine. After that, I *believe* there is a way to get it to start automatically, though I'm not sure (I always start it manually with /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start on my laptop). I haven't actually had much time to play around with my wireless configuration yet, so perhaps someone else can jump in here and add the part I'm missing.

This line: > alias_eth0:0="192.168.0.20" should be changed to: alias_eth0="192.168.0.20" If you want multiple aliases, separate the IPs with spaces, as in: alias_eth0="192.168.0.20 192.168.0.21" Hope this helps. -- Josh ----- Joshua J.

Re: [gentoo-user] Life after ALSA> Its killing me softly:(
You'll pretty much have to recompile everything that uses libasound...a grep of the files in /usr/bin and /usr/lib should reveal to you what programs and libraries need reinstalling. After you have a list of files that reference libasound, you can use qpkg to determine what Gentoo packages these files belong to (or, you can be lazy like me, and just emerge -e world to rebuild your entire system).

Artsd *should* release the sound device after a certain period of inactivity. I think the default is something like 60-90 seconds (which IMO is just silly). IIRC there is an option to change it under "Sound Server" in the KDE Control Center. If that doesn't work, then kill artsd and try again. -- Josh > > - richard > > On Sun, Feb 16, 2003 at 08:52:57PM -0800, Eric Miller wrote: > > I posted earlier about my sound working except in a > > game...I was wrong. > > > > It only works in KDE (y'know..the little noises it > > makes minimizing and maximizing windows...) > > > > Any other app, a game, even flash sound in a > > browser...no dice. > > > > What should I do? > > > > __ > > Do you Yahoo!? > > Yahoo!
