Re: [gentoo-user] Which laptop vendors officially supports linux?
On Wednesday 04 June 2003 17:38, MIKE MacMartin wrote: I might recommend powernotebooks.com. Damn nice prices for the hardware as well. bryce I was wondering if there was any laptop vendors that officially supports linux? Eurocom. I know linux can work, with more or less tweakings, on most laptops, but which brand actually have enough guts to officially say that linux works well on some or all of their laptops? Eurocom. They have a list of all their laptops, and which versions of RedHat they have tested on them - and what works, what doesn't. Gentoo will be about the same - that is, those laptops they say don't work likely won't work with G or RH. Thanks, Cedric MIKE -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] openoffice 1.1 beta took a dive
My OpenOffice 1.1 beta took a dive tonight. Tried to open up a rtf, and it returned an error. So, i started to screw with it( yeah, i know i'm brilliant ;) ). Anyway, i decided to try and remove the .OpenOffice directory, in hopes that it would reset itself. Tried to start it agian, and it complied about misconfigurations in .sver??. SO i axed that file as well. And tried to run setup, as both user and root, and whenwhen i do i get this error: /usr/bin/ooffice: line 159: 10233 Aborted /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1_beta/program/setup -R:/etc/openoffice/autoresponse.conf 1/dev/null setup failed.. abort Does anyone have any ideas on what i can do to fix this?? thanks for the help in advance, bryce -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Java error-SOLVED
Thank you Ragu, that solved my problem.
Sorry for almost starting a flame war based on language preferences. It was
not my intent. But thanks for the reading material! ;)
And to Norberto Bensa:
Thank you very much for telling me to read up on Pet Hate. Appreciate the
advice. However, i felt that writing that email was appropriate because java
in gentoo is handled differently than other linux distros( might i even go as
far as to say to improved??) via java-config. And if i was to bring this up
in another list, say a generic java list, they might not know enough about
gentoo to help me out if this was a gentoo related problem. It wasn't, but i
didn't know that when the problem occurred.
Thanks everyone for helping in your own little ways.

Bryce,
This error occurs, when the classpath is not set properly.
You have to set the classpath before running/compiling your
java files.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:current-dir
Hope this helps you out.
Cheers

Re: [gentoo-user] glitch in GL
I had the same problem, and in doing a little digging on my system i found out it was [EMAIL PROTECTED] running in the background. So maybe if you have something like [EMAIL PROTECTED], or seti, running in the background that could be causing your glitch. bryce On Saturday 05 April 2003 11:46, Mitchell James wrote: I am having a problem with any GL program. About every 20 seconds the screen stutters. This happens with nVidia drivers after 2880. My assumption is that there is another process running that is causing this. I am attemping to use top -Si in batch mode to find out what process is causing the glitch. Is there a better way? Mitchell James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Opinion Poll: KDE Vs Gnome

Waimea is a varient of blackbox that has no toolbar and to shift to a new desktop you move your cursor to edge of window but the desktops can be vertical and horizontal. With ice it reminds me of kde1x for some reason and I'm still messing around with it before I form much opinion on it really. There are text based wm tho I forget the name of it. Evilwm is really barebones from what I can see tho actually not tried it just visited the website. I belive most give a right click menu and in some cases middle button menu. Afterstep and Windowmanager I think tho had just the square icons on the screen and it was somewhat weird manuvering around it. Enlightenment is diffrent and not sure quite how to describe that one. I suggest looking at the gentoo online package database list of window managers and visiting their official sites. There is one rather neat one there called tree but tho I find it neat I'm not enough of a power user to fully benifit from it. To continue along those lines, my money(if i had money ;) ) goes to xfce. The look and feel of CDE, and its nice and light weight, so i can push my poor out of date box on other computing fuctions. bryce -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
