[gentoo-user] question to balsa users
Hi for everyone,
my wife liked Balsa's screenshots, so she should choose that one but I need
one simple info before switching to that:
does balsa support filtering (on receiving) throug a pipe/shell(script)
command?
{ I know i can do it with fetchmail/procmail-> local mail, but I want
my mail-client to do this - as kmail and sylpheed(-claws)? does.}

[gentoo-user] question about alsa-sound and aplay
Hi I am using alsa-sound and I have no idea how to mix sounds? I read all manual on aplay, alsa-sound, searched google, and nothing helps, so I am asking community.. Problem: I set 'sound' into my IM as 'aplay soundfile'. When I listen to music via XMMS, XMMS blocks the audio device. As result, I do not hear the sound from my IM program (in fact, a number of aplay process are waiting in background until XMMS is finished). So, when I stop playing XMMS, it takes around 2-3 minutes to listen to all those sounds which were waiting for several hours. Question: --- Does anybody know how to play sounds simultaneously (via some mixer???) so I will hear both IM and XMMS player? thanks. -- Alex V.

[gentoo-user] question to output of "last"
Hi folks! When I type the command last -i -a $LOGNAME I get a table with the last logins from the actually logged in user. When he did log via XDM/KDM, the ip adress shown seems to be rather random, while logins from console show up correctly with 0.0.0.0 and real remote logins with the correct remote-ip. The random ip's for local kdm-logins are somewhat confusing; Is this a configuration error on my system or a bug?

If your rc script contains raw iptables commands, then run them and do an
'/etc/init.d/iptables save'. This will use iptables-save to save your rules
to IPTABLES_SAVE in /etc/conf.d/iptables.
Running '/etc/init.d/iptables start' will then use those saved rules
('/etc/init.d/iptables stop' WILL NOT SAVE YOUR RULES).
/etc/conf.d/iptables also has a variable to enable IPv4 forwarding.
If it's an iptables-save formatted file
(
*nat
:PREROUTING
)
The just stick in place of IPTABLES_SAVE and start iptables.

Nope.
You can optionally set ALSA_CARDS=emu10k1 in /etc/make.conf so alsa-driver
will only compile the emu10k1 driver, can save quite a bit of time.

But simply creating a new package directory within it doesn't solve the problem. To see this, try creating a new subdirectory $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/app-whatever, create an application directory within it, and a valid ebuild within it. Do an ebuild digest, then emerge app-whatever/whatever/whatever-1.0.ebuild. It should install fine. Then do an emerge -s whatever. It won't find your ebuild. So package directories must be registered somehow with portage, but I don't know the mechanism. js -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] question re creating meta-ebuild for application distribution
A question about using Gentoo's "meta-distribution" aspect: I'm about to use a local meta-ebuild to deploy a set of applications across a group of servers. I'd rather not add this ebuild to an existing package directory -- I'd rather use "app-$mycompanyname" -- but when I do so, I see that portage doesn't know about the new package directory when I do an emerge -s $myappname. This isn't a big deal in and of itself, since the ebuild seems to merge and unmerge without problems, but is there a way I can locally add a new package directory so that portage fully knows about it? Can I do so in such a way that an emerge rsync won't lose that information? And if not, I am going to run into other problems by using an unsupported pkg location?

Re: [gentoo-user] question
Stephan, Nathan, Jan Excuse me a little, I tend to get upset after screwing with stuff that should work the 1st time. Now I have fixed the problem. Let me explain properly what what the problem is, I am cooled off now. In developing a program on Caldera system, I have moved the code to gentoo. I now created a directory tree under /usr/local name silverware with bin,docs,logs,lib/debug,lib/release & etc. When scons built a new or rebuilt an shared lib, it is instructed to copy the lib to the new directory, debug libs to lib/debug, release to release. These wre not symlinks , just stright copies. In actually it was all proper, but this exerc forced me to perform what I wanted in a more relative postion as I should have done before. As things turned out I have had to perform some things & learn gentoo a little better, I think I have. One thing I do know the worst linux distro is 1k time better than M$sludge. At this point all is well here in mudsville till the next crisis. I still have a cupsd problem to work on and sound does not seem to work, even though the system says sound is loaded. Hmmm, that must wait a while. this program is for a directed study project that is comming due in 3 months.

Re: [gentoo-user] question
Rick, What Nathan and others have conculuded from the information you provided that is that the program you running is trying to create a hard-linked file across mount points, you can not do this, you can only create soft-links across mount points. I am guessing that when you built your Gentoo system, you most likely made the descision create mount points like /, /usr, /home, etc, where your Caldera system made the decsions for you and put everthing on /. If you do a 'df' on your Gentoo system and if the source directory and the destination directory fall on different lines then you can not create use hard-links 'ln', you need to use sof-links 'ln -s' HTH, Steve On Fri, 2003-07-11 at 17:02, Rick Sivernell wrote: > Nathan > > I guess software can not move, copy data or programs, you must be bash or > something.

I am almost ready to dump gentoo, just too many problem here. You're right, Rick, it is bull. Any script or program can move and copy files. You're getting a lot of aerobic exercise jumping to conclusions because nobody can identify the problem from the description you've given and the one person who's trying (me) doesn't seem to be able to describe his observations in language you can understand. Sorry it's not obvious... but it isn't. There's a significant chance that the application you're using simply isn't very robust, and your Gentoo system provides a configuration it can't deal with. Since you don't want to take the time to understand it, dumping Gentoo is probably the right answer for you.

You might look at the differences in how you've laid out your filesystems before and after moving to Gentoo. My wild guess is that two directories that were in the same filesystem (i.e., partition) are now in different filesystems.

The error message suggests that whatever process is running (installer?) is trying to create a hard link across disk drives. For example, maybe it's trying to do a: ln /foo/libregistryD.so /usr/local/sliverware/lib/debug/libregistryD.so and your /foo and /usr are on different drives. This is a fault in whatever process is trying to do it - the usual "right" way is to make a symbolic link instead of a hard link.

How did you go about importing your old (1.2.4) contacts and calendar? For me, I had mixed results - on one system my accounts were preserved but no contacts/calendar, and on the other system it was as if I had started clean. Other than that, Evolution 1.4.0 has worked fantastically. On Sun, 2003-06-29 at 11:04, Steven R.

[gentoo-user] Question about Evolution 1.4
I apologise in advance if this question has already been asked. Any idea when the Evolution 1.4 ebuild is going to "blessed" as being as stable as the 1.2.4 ebuild? I have been using it for a day or two, and it seems to be as stable as the 1.2 series so far. I know that my results may be different than other people's; just wondering what others thought. Thanks!

Re: [gentoo-user] Question about emerge
My understanding of it from running into where I had to use sync vs rsync(new portage that unmaked when it shouldn't of at the time). Is they are the same. Sync is the new command and rsync the old. Here is what the man page says: rsync See sync below. sync Initiates a portage tree update with one of the rsync.gentoo.org mirrors. Note that any changes you have made to the portage tree will be erased. Except for in special circumstances, this uses rsync to do the update. See make.conf's description of PORTDIR_OVERLAY for a method to avoid deletions. When I'd got the newish portage one time it complained I'd used "rsync" and told me it was an outdated command and I should use "sync" instead. Then later that portage was masked. When it was re released it allowed the rsync without complaint. So I think you can use either or.

I've switched off blackbox for now to openbox but also looking at fluxbox again. Other than waimea is it possible to somehow have a second silt?

Also I tried sawfish and it was ok enough I suppose but not my thing.(for one for some reason bbpager wouldn't work) I then tried oroborous and tho it installed and said it was launching nothing happened. I thought it was a stand alone window manager or is there something I'm missing? I know it's gnome complient and stuff but I'm not running gnome. Other than that I'm liking the features of openbox. One last question tho on the blackbox family of window managers. Is there someway to make bbpannel always on top? When windows are maximized they are covering it.

I've updated from portage-2.0.46-r9 to portage-2.0.47-r8. At the first time to use it, it asks me to : portage: 'portage' user or group missing. Please update baselayout and merge portage user(250) and group(250) into your passwd and group files. Non-root compilation is disabled until then. Also note that non-root/wheel users will need to be added to the portage group to do portage commands. For the defaults, line 1 goes into passwd, and 2 into group. portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false portage::250:portage I have settled down the variable PORTAGE_TMPDIR to "/tmp" instead of "/var/tmp". So I suppose that I have to set user portage's home path to /tmp/portage. Is this correct? Iago Sineiro. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Or is that the case only for certain specific games? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I noticed something about a games group scroll by drin he install, but have no idea what to do regarding that. As root, edit the file /etc/group and find the line that starts 'games'. If there is just a : at the end of the line, add your username, otherwise put a comma then your username. That will add you to the games group, which sounds like it's what's disallowing you access to much needed gaming :) MAL -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] question about dependencies
Hi all, I would like to unmerge vi and libtermcap-compat from my system and switch over to vim. How can I be sure I haven't installed anything else that depends on libtermcap-compat? Thanks, William -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
