I'm sorry but as OT as this thread is (haven't read all of it) I have to get my 2 cents in here. Response inlined below... * On Sun May-08-2005 at 08:44:08 PM +, Calvin Spealman said: [...] > I'm tired of everyone being so blatently rude in their defensive > stances over simple suggestions of improvement.

The W3C wants to release a new > version of HTML? No one complains (mostly). Someone wants to create a > new e-mail standard, or expand an existing one? Off with their heads! I have to disagree here. If you read RFC 822[1] (1982) and then take a look at RFC 2822[2] (2001) then you'll see that there have been changes and updates to the e-mail standard. If you care to create a new one then go ahead and do it. If people like it then they will start to use it. It's as simple as that. Perhaps instead of trying to extend a standard that was created to send text around you should be trying to form a new standard altogether; I'm not really sure what you're trying to push for here. Apparently the ability to attach any file you wish to an e-mail is good enough for most people and this really is a non-issue. If you care to have fancy formatting or whatever else then attach a document in any format you like and if people want to read it they will. If someone's e-mail client displays certain attached files inline with the message than that's fine with me. In certain cases I think this even makes a lot of sense (e.g. images). I just don't see why this isn't good enough to get your fancy formatting. Outlook does this with HTML and we all know what a horrible mess that has created, but I think if you're really keen on this and adapt a mail client to automatically display certain types of attachments (without being a huge security risk!) then people may adopt it; but that is all speculation. To cut to the point all I'm trying to say is that e-mail has the capability to do what you want, you just need to figure out an appropriate file format for this purpose and then push to get clients to automatically display these files. If the majority like it then it will be used. > Going by the way everyone reacts to these ideas, one would come to the > conclusion that we should all still run nothing but command lines and > pass our information around on FTP and Gopher servers. Transferring files using the File Transfer Protocol -- silly us! Sorry for that, but it's hard to take that last sentence seriously seeing as it's a patently false conclusion.

I'm just going to be off-grid for a little while. Are you sure this is a reiser4 problem and not a K3b limitation? I have found that K3b will not properly burn data CDs over about 2GB (*.iso files converted to CD are fine, I just mean for example a *.mpg or some such burned as data). I'm using Reiser 3, but I never thought that Reiser itself was the problem I found that K3b would *claim* that it burned the DVD (+R for me), but the DVD was actually unreadable by any means under Linux (it could be read under Windows). I don't remember if Nero for Linux exhibited the same problem or not. IIrc, it *might* work properly if you tar or tar.gz the files first, it's just that a single pure data file above a certain size seems to bork the whole thing. Plus, is there a reason that you're burning an *.img as a data file? This is usually another sort of compressed archive similar to *.iso, and if K3b doesn't detect it natively in the "Burn CD image" dialog (although I think it does), Nero for Linux definitely will. Anyway, hope this info is of some use to you. I have no experience with Reiser 4, so you might be right, but based on my experience with K3b (and the fact that Reiser is not showing any problems on its own account), there could easily be another reason for this. And sorry if somebody else said this already; the lack of subjects means I'd have to go through every unread message just to see if somebody else answered, and I was impatient :) .

I think this is a limitation of the ISO9660/UDF format. I've found that any file over 2GB copied to a DVD is truncated, so if the file is exactly 4GB, you get an empty file.

I thought ro for readonly and rw for > read+write. My cd-rom device is a cd-writer. Yes, but writing to it is done through different mechanisms. In case of writing ISO images to CD-R(W) media, this is done with cdrecord, which accesses the hardware directly. In case of packet writing to CD-RW, which enables you to use the CD-RW media like a harddisk, you have to use another device (/dev/pktcdvd/). So for both cases, specifying rw here is not completely wrong, but useless, since cdroms will allways be mounted ro anyway. HTH...

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: udev not getting usb key
I got the same problem here. There is a quick work-around this: When /dev/sda is available you can do cfdisk as root this will somehow display the proper partition table (fdisk wont) and everything is ready (/dev/sda1 is created). I suspect the problem is in chipset driver because the same usbstick works fine on same kernel/other chipset. Have just tested with other usbstik it was recognized directly. On 256Mb Kingmax the kernel fails to read the partition table, but with 128Mb Kingmax it works fine.

[gentoo-user] no cd under sudo
I'm noticing a problem using sudo where the builtin cd command is not known under sudo. User attempts to `ls dir', receives `permission denied' ( its a root owned dir) User uses `sudo ls dir', and is queried for password, sudo then prints the ls display when password is supplied. All good so far. Now user attempts to use sudo to cd into dir: sudo cd dir sudo: cd: command not found Far as I know `cd' is a shell builtin. Why doesn't sudo environment know about it? Does sudo envoke a different shell that lacks that built in..? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

No, my whole problem is that all I wanted to do was make an off handed comment about one or two or my own, personal thoughts and opinions, in reply to something mentioned by another member of this list. However, everyone misinterprets this as me saying everying is wrong and I know how to make it right. I'm just expressing an opinion, everyone, so chill a little bit, OK?

Yeah, things change. This is the nature of things. You say the standards have been "built up" over the years? This is because small _changes_ were made to them. That's all I'm talking about, doing more of what has been done for years. For decades, even. > Fine - if you feel so strongly about it post an RFC and follow the normal > process for having standards changed. Your effort to post on this list will > not convince anyone nor would it make any substantial change. Well, of course. But, who would post an RFC until the idea was more solid? Maybe I felt the need to get some opinions on the thoughts before hand. Maybe see what I might want to add or to change about the ideas before trying something like that. Maybe I simply don't have the time, but still have the ideas. > Simply put, the list just works. And it works because we have all agreed on > how we're going to make it work.

I've tried to stop these OT threads, but everytime I do, someone says something that I have to defend myself on. I want this to be the last message I post in this manner. I want to talk about how my video playback is completely botched. I want to help others configure their new systems.

[gentoo-user] Problems mounting CD-Rom device
Thanks to everybody for answering to my posting. Now I was able as a normal user to mount a cdrom with: paul # mount /mnt/cdrom but most of my cd's that I have burned or normal audio-cd's, I am not able to mount. Not as user and not as root. I've got the following message. As user: "I've could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified." If I try it again as user: paul # mount -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom, than I've got again the following message: "mount: only root can do that!". If I try as user: paul # mount -t auto /mnt/cdrom the error message I've got is the following: "mount: only root can do that!". If I try the same as superuser than happens that: root $ mount /mnt/cdrom mount: you must specify the filesystem type. root $ mount -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom . than I've got an output of how to use 'mount' correctly. The same happens when I try: root $ mount -t auto /mnt/cdrom If somebody knows what to do, I would be really happy about it (I would like to hear my audio-cd's, for example).

Maybe you don't have dvb or v4l2 support compiled either into your kernel or as modules? By the way, just as a sidenote, the order I modprobed the drivers was: cx8800 cx88-dvb cx8800 is the module that actually registers /dev/video0 (for analog NTSC) and /dev/video1 (for digital ATSC HDTV.)

[gentoo-user] Problems mounting CD-Rom device [solved]
Hello everybody! Thank you Aaron for your posting, at the moment I received your e-mail I was just reading an article about mounting cd's and that audio cd's cannot be mounted ;-) I would like to ask you how can I point my cdplayer to my cdrom-device? I am using (well, I am trying to use ...) cdplay from a shell. When I type cdplay -i (for listing tracks), it recognises perfectly the tracks on the CD. When I type cdplay -c it starts playing, but I cannot hear any sound. When I type cdplay -I it states about the track it is playing at this moment. I have read the README file corresponding to the program cdplay, but it is a very short file and it only states the way to use the program. Is there anybody who could help me with this issue? (Perhaps I need to install some more alsa-tools, or something like that - only for your information: I installed Gentoo 2005.0 (stage3-athlon-xp) on my laptop and since then I only updated the portage tree and installed fetchmail, procmail, nbsmtp, mutt, muttprint, pcmcia-cs, prism54-firmware - and I think, nothing else).

A routine whose job is to set everything in the computer -- registers, memory, flags, everything -- to zero, including that portion of memory where it is running; its last act is to stomp on its own "store zero" instruction. Death code isn't very useful, but writing it is an interesting hacking challenge on architectures where the instruction set makes it possible, such as the PDP-8 (it has also been done on the DG Nova). Perhaps the ultimate death code is on the TI 990 series, where all registers are actually in RAM, and the instruction "store immediate 0" has the opcode "0". The PC will immediately wrap around core as many times as it can until a user hits HALT. Any empty memory location is death code. Worse, the manufacturer recommended use of this instruction in startup code (which would be in ROM and therefore survive). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] lm_sensor stop freeze
Hi, I can not halt my PC, 'cause when lm_sensors stop, the system freezes. The problem, how I see, that rmmod i2c_viapro can not succeed, cause of Device or resource busy. What can occupy the module in the late state of shutdown? My /etc/conf.d/lm_sensors is the following (generated by sensors-detect): # List the modules that are to be loaded for your system # # Generated by sensors-detect on Sat Feb 12 12:13:44 2005 #These are compiled into the kernel #NOLOADMODULES=YES MODULE_0=i2c-viapro MODULE_1=i2c-isa MODULE_2=eeprom MODULE_3=w83627hf It is an 1800+ Athlon XP with a 2.6.11-r6 gentoo-sources. In addition I don't really understand, why the system freezes instead of a simple error message about rmmod failed and go on. TIA.

When you emerge a package, the package is added to your world file, but any dependencies that are emerged are not. So the world file contains only those packages that you explicitly want, not their dependencies. Whenever I re-emerge anything I always use --oneshot, on the basis that if it belongs in world, it is already there and if it doesn't, I don't want to spoil things by adding it now. shadow is a clear example of this, as it is a package you would never install manually (in fact it is part of system). -- Neil Bothwick Groucho Borg: "That's the silliest thing I ever assimilated..." pgpxyNwHCWADn.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] qpkg and etcat deprecated?
Unless things have changed, equery is not a full replacement for qpkg and etcat: you can get different results for packages that are installed at times - all three can and do show different results at times. None are always correct! Its actually quite a useful fault finding tool. On the balance, I use qpkg a lot (its nicer to use) and only look at the other two when the results dont seem correct - sometimes they add information, sometimes not.

[gentoo-user] nfs export/remote mount problem
Hi, On my wife's machine, which we converted from FC2 to Gentoo a few weeks ago, I have one thing I forgot to do. We have a large (50GB) ogg music library that we used to export over NFS so that other machines in the house could play the music locally.

Normally NFS registers with the portmap service and doesn't listen on its own port at all, IIRC. My guess is that when you try to mount from the remote system, it fails to contact the RPC (portmap) service on port 111, so it tells you the server is down. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
