All I need is a simple sound recorder, and if it has a function to view the waveform (and even better edit it!) so much the better. You can try qarecord (alsamodular.sf.net) for recording via ALSA or JACK. However it doesn't provide editing, just recording. For recording and editing you can try kwave, which is KDE based and you have to struggle with the sound system (setting arts to full duplex etc.).

[gentoo-user] Notice: Changing mozilla useflag to browserplugin for all Java runtimes
Hi gang, over the course of the next few days, we will finally be replacing the 'mozilla' useflag in all the Java runtimes with a new USE flag, called 'browserplugin'. The change means that in order to have continued Java browser plugin support, you must add the useflag 'browserplugin' to the USE= line in your /etc/make.conf file. The reason for the change is that: ) all browser plugins now work with more than just the Mozilla webbrowser, thus naming it 'mozilla' has become rather inaccurate. ) the 'mozilla' useflag is primarily used for embedding Mozilla into other applications. ) it should be possible to enable the Java browser plugin system-wide, without turning on Mozilla embedding for random other applications. As such, the 'mozilla' and 'mozilla' useflags are different, but at the present time have the same name, which is rather confusing. (For now, the new useflag is not a global useflag, so as to not upset certain elements in the developer community. It is marked as a local useflag for all packages supporting it. However, the difference is merely academic, but I'm sure a flamewar will erupt over this as usual.) Refer to [1] for tracking of this issue. We will keep supporting the 'mozilla' useflag for a minimum period of a month, and you will be amply warned about the change when installing or upgrading a Java runtime. -- Karl T [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94056 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] GENTOO_MIRRORS
Noodling around I found a gentoo server at: http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo/ I'm not sure if I can use this in my make.conf file? If it's complete you should be able to use it. If it's not a publicized mirror then there could be many reasons why. For example, they might not sync the mirror as frequently as other sites or have a limitation on the number of concurrent users. Could also be meant only as an internal sync mirror (I use an internal mirror to sync my internal gentoo systems against). If so, what would the setting look like? Add the URL for everything up to the distfiles directory. If distfiles is in the /mirrors/gentoo directory, then you can add the URL as you've listed above to GENTOO_MIRRORS line. Hopes are that is closer than my current mirrors. Is there an a method/software to test which mirrors are the fastest? The handbook recommends using mirrorselect. Use that to identify your closest mirrors. As a word of advice I would try to time the mirrorselect run with when you plan on actually syncing the system; a mirror may appear to be slow during the day when you run mirrorselect but actually be faster when syncing at 3am. I have this setting on some gentoo systems: SYNC=rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage Should it be added to all my gentoo systems and how does the 'SYNC' setting affect/interact with specific GENTOO_MIRRORS settings? SYNC is used to define the rsync server to get the portage mirror from. You probably do not want to use any value in there (portage will pick the appropriate one at runtime). The sync mirror and the gentoo mirrors serve different things, namely the portage data versus the distfiles. 'mirrorselect' detail documentation seems to elude me, and I'm not even sure this tools is useful to evaluate the closest/fastest mirror or rsync host. Hell, I'm not even sure what the main/functional difference is between a mirror and a rsync host? Rsync is used to remotely sync a filesystem. The portage tree, for example, is not a single file to be downloaded but a remote filesystem that needs to be copied to your system. Rsync is optimized to only pull remote files that are different from those in your local /usr/portage directory. Mirrorselect is used to find the closest/fastest distfiles mirror. The distfiles are the actual source package files that are downloaded to build the packages on your system. confused on optimizing gentoo downloads The first thing you can do to significantly optimize internal gentoo downloads is to set up your own mirror system. I use that for my systems and it's pretty easy to set up. The gentoo wiki has all of the details. Basically I've got a server system that: a) at 1am runs emerge --sync to sync portage against the public mirrors. b) runs rsyncd to make the server's portage tree available to the internal gentoo systems. c) runs http-replicator as a download proxy. All internal gentoo systems use the server as the proxy - actual internet downloads occur only once, after that the cached copy is returned. There is only a delay for the initial download, the rest are almost instantaneous. I'm sure you'll get recommendations for using NFS as the portage tree, synced by a primary system and exported to the other internal systems. While this will work, I personally don't like it because a) NFS is a huge network hog and b) if the serving system is not available the remote gentoo systems don't have the portage tree available. However, if disk space is an issue for you this might be the way to go. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Maybe I'm too cynical or maybe it's from experience but in either case I can tell you as a developer the change log often reflects what I remember I changed since the last release and is never intended to encompass every change I made to the source. From that perspective the change log provides some helpful ideas about what changes were implemented but never represents the complete change list. Making the assumption that it does means that you could end up missing a critical gentoo security/stability fix.

RE: [gentoo-user] rsync internal mirror configuration
I did not see what determines what (during a 24 hour period) controls the time the internal rsync mirror goes out to update the files? Obviously I only want the rsync internal server to update once a day. Following that document means that you are exporting the /usr/portage directory on the local box for your internal servers. This has some implications: 1. the /usr/portage directory is not updated by this process. You still need to emerge --sync the local system. This is QED by a cron task. 2. This only syncs up the /usr/portage tree but does not help reduce the number of distfiles downloads. Look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/Http_proxy and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_LAN-Http-Replicator for instructions there. By using the http-replicator you only will be downloading distfiles/patch files once. 3. There is no additional disk space requirements for the rsync mirror; you're serving up your existing /usr/portage directory so it's not like you wouldn't have those files around anyway. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Sound problem
For the kernel, deprecated == likely to be removed soon == obsolete. Now, it is true that only the OSS drivers are deprecated, not the OSS emulation provided by ALSA. The question is if the ALSA OSS emulation is a good idea. Because it exists, people are not urged to use ALSA. I have no problem with applications supporting OSS for operating systems besides Linux, because as you say, that is the standard for those systems. I do have a problem with apps that insist on *only* supporting OSS for Linux. That's true. What really bugs me is that most of the offending apps are commercial applications that don't even have ports for Solaris, FreeBSD, etc!! Besides, it isn't like supporting multiple sound APIs is really all that hard Note that, AFAIK, there is no mixing possible with the OSS API. Your It does support mixing. According to the dmix HOWTO, you are correct, it should work. I guess I just gave up too easily, and I stand corrected. Thanks. If an application tries to access /dev/dsp, DMIX does - AFAIK - not work transparently. INstead you have to start the application using the aoss wrapper, maybe aoss skype or aoss reaplay. This doesn't work convenient for the user. Furthermore, there seems to be a bug so Skype will crash as soon as it gets invoked via aoss (I don't know if it is a Skype or an aoss bug).

I use that for my systems and it's pretty easy to set up. The gentoo wiki has all of the details. Basically I've got a server system that: a) at 1am runs emerge --sync to sync portage against the public mirrors. OK I edited /etc/crontab to this: 30 1 * * * root emerge sync b) runs rsyncd to make the server's portage tree available to the internal gentoo systems. OK following these pages: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror. ON the internal server I 'emerge rsync' Then edited the /etc/rsync.conf file as specified and ran rc-update. http://gentoo-wiki.com/Http_proxy On each system I added these entries to the /etc/make.conf file: GENTOO_MIRRORS=192.168.2.9 SYNC=rsync://192.168.2.9 So that they both sync and download files from the internal server c) runs http-replicator as a download proxy. All internal gentoo systems use the server as the proxy - actual internet downloads occur only once, after that the cached copy is returned.

Re: [gentoo-user] New MySQL doc
Chris White wrote: Here's the initial devspace draft of the new MySQL draft I've been working on: http://dev.gentoo.org/~chriswhite/mysql.html Comments, etc are welcome. Mysql is bound to localhost by default in Gentoo. I'd add a note and make it blink in gigantic neon letters. That's the number one problem users have in the forums. An explanation of how to change that in the my.cnf and some of the security implications of that would probably be a good idea as well. Adding privileges for remote users. You do a good job with adding access from localhost, but there isn't any mention of adding access for a user from any IP. Additionally it might be nice to show how to allow a user access from a particular subnet as well a single IP. You may also want to mention that things like phpmyadmin should connect to localhost if they are on the same server instead of the hostname which is a common mistake. The root user is just a convention. I've also seen a number of post where users seem to think that the root user is somehow special in Mysql rather than a Gentoo/distro default user that has been granted admin privileges. You might want to shoot for a much broader explanation of users accounts than what you currently have mostly centering around the fact that Mysql accounts are separate from system accounts. On the subject of USE variables you may want to mention that in 4.0.x innodb is not turned on by default while in 4.1.x or greater it will be due to a request from upstream. Also mention that innodb will need to be turned on within the my.cnf file as it is not on by default. Another common forum question is how to completely remove all Mysql databases and start from scratch though there might be less call for this if users are able to set Mysql up correctly from the get go. How to reset the admin password is another common question in the same vein. If you're aiming for a more complete doc, you might also want to demonstrate a SELECT * FROM $table WHERE $field LIKE '%$string%' as that's another handy select beginners will find useful. Also adding LIMIT 10 or COUNT (*) are other good ones. Some mention of mysqldump and restoring from a dump might also be interesting. myisamchk and turning on bin-logs for data recovery if needed would also be nice. And finally the default my.cnf isn't tuned towards a dedicated Mysql installation. Users may want to at my-huge.cnf in /usr/share/doc/mysql-version/conf-sampples. Most of this last part is probably way outside your planned scope, but it is stuff that has come up on the forums. All in all this is a well written and readable doc. It'll help a number of users.

I think that's how I fixed it too-- although the gnome mixer isn't all that useful as a mixer (compared to alsamixer, or gamixer), it is useful to be sure that *GNOME* is correctly set up for sound (the mixer acts like the canary in the mines; if it won't load, or errors with the 'no device found' business, you can be sure that no GNOME/GTK applications which normally produce sound, will). Good point I am sure I can find some mixer somewhere, but would prefer to actually find this one. Right click on the panel; Add to Panel=Mixer should be somewhere in the list; if not, then check in the 'Pre-existing Gnome Packages' section (but I think it's in the first list). No. It really wasn't there, i.e. the binary wasn't present. I followed your advice and went to bugzilla. This sent me to the forums and the hint that the gstreamer USE is important. I set this and did the requisite emerges. Now sounds do come up but I get the no device found you mentioned above. I shall pursue this. The mixer still does not appear when I do add to panel. I don't see pre-existing gnome packages. What (and where) is it? In any case, very few, if any, of the former gnome-applets seem to be runnable as commands any more. And the most recent gnome-panel (2.10.2) is so buggy-- even for GNOME-- that I've had to go back to fbpanel, which at least doesn't crash all the time due to some problem with the system notification area... instead of getting better (it used to be that the panel would crash in the mixer applet all the time, until you got the GNOME backend straightened out, but after that it was pretty stable-- no more, it seems). So this problem really could be anything, but I will say that the mixer applet worked fine once I (working from memory): 1) went to the GNOME control panel and made sure esd was set to start at GNOME login, which I believe also needed 2) the esound daemon running in the default runlevel and then 3) deleted and re-added the mixer applet. Problem was I didn't really want to be running the Enlightened Sound Daemon, so I somehow or other reconfigured everything to be ALSA instead (took esound out of the default runlevel, and *thought* I told GNOME not to start esd at startup, but it persists in doing so, went to the GNOME Control Panel=Multimedia and Sound, and mucked about with the sources and sinks until I could at least get test sounds), and the mixer applet continued to work (although the panel itself was notoriously unstable). If you can follow all that sigh... it was a bit of a trial. Hope it's helpful. Helpful, as always ... and as always, thanks. allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

In that case, make sure to run gstreamer-properties to make sure the gstreamer backend is properly configured. I did try to work with gstreamer, but the only thing that uses it --Totem-- really worked much better with the xine backend, so I switched Totem to that (recompile; if you compile it -xine it uses gstreamer; if +xine it uses xine) and didn't think about gstreamer much more after that, so I can't say more about its inner workings.

Re: [gentoo-user] Sound problem
On Mon, July 11, 2005 4:02 pm, Christoph Eckert said: For the kernel, deprecated == likely to be removed soon == obsolete. Now, it is true that only the OSS drivers are deprecated, not the OSS emulation provided by ALSA. The question is if the ALSA OSS emulation is a good idea. Because it exists, people are not urged to use ALSA. There is also OSS ALSA emulation. I have no problem with applications supporting OSS for operating systems besides Linux, because as you say, that is the standard for those systems. I do have a problem with apps that insist on *only* supporting OSS for Linux. That's true. What really bugs me is that most of the offending apps are commercial applications that don't even have ports for Solaris, FreeBSD, etc!! Besides, it isn't like supporting multiple sound APIs is really all that hard Note that, AFAIK, there is no mixing possible with the OSS API. Your It does support mixing. According to the dmix HOWTO, you are correct, it should work. I guess I just gave up too easily, and I stand corrected. Thanks. If an application tries to access /dev/dsp, DMIX does - AFAIK - not work transparently. INstead you have to start the application using the aoss wrapper, maybe aoss skype or aoss reaplay. This doesn't work convenient for the user. Furthermore, there seems to be a bug so Skype will crash as soon as it gets invoked via aoss (I don't know if it is a Skype or an aoss bug). So, if want to stay idle for incoming Skype calls, do not start any other sound application because Skype blocks your device... I am admittedly not to familiar with Linux's implementation of OSS, it could be that it is obselete and buggy. I have only used OSS in other operating systems. In my experience mixing and/or dynamic virtual channels are available with /dev/dsp through kernel/modules no userland applications are needed. This all seems kind of irrelevant though, I believe this guy is using ALSA with OSS emulation :p. -- James Tanis [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pycoder.org -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] New list member installing gentoo
Hello list. I'm back from the convention and have recuperated to some degree. Sadly, I am still encounteriung a problem even with my MAKEOPTS being set to -j1. Now, it stops during the compilation of gcc. It is also interesting to note that it stops at the same point it did when I was bootstrapping for the first time during my first attempt at a Gentoo installation using a stage 1 tarball.

Re: [gentoo-user] I think I messed up USE flag by using -alsa as Gnome has no sound

Re: [gentoo-user] Fixing xfs filesystem?

Sure :(( Well, this is a real long shot; but, given that nothing sane has worked... With fdisk/cfdisk/parted, after writing down the starting block and length, delete the partition, and write the partition table, and exit. Go back into whichever you used and create the partition at the exact starting block - it should default to the correct parameters. Then write the partition, exit, and sync. Then run xfs_repair on the partition. It might rebuild the filesystem now that the partition tables and inodes are back in a sane state. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Re: rsync internal mirror configuration
Dave Nebinger dnebinger at joat.com writes: This has some implications: Ok, let's take it from the begining. A. I followed step 4 in this document: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml?style=printable I was able to 'emerge sync' up a local client on the rsync server successfully,so that part is done. Here are my client entries in /etc/make.conf: GENTOO_MIRRORS=192.168.2.9 SYNC=rsync://192.168.2.9/gentoo-portage Test, per this document was successful, So now I can manually rsync up one system and then emerge sync all of the local gentoo clients manuallyor via cron (with crontab entries). 1. the /usr/portage directory is not updated by this process. You still need to emerge --sync the local system. This is QED by a cron task. OK on the local rsync server I added this to automate the daily task of rsync(ing) # Rsync entries # 30 1 * * * root emerge sync Spartan but hopefully sufficent. I have (3) other documents to follow (this should be one doc) B) http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror. C) http://gentoo-wiki.com/Http_proxy D) http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_LAN-Http-Replicator (B) tells me how to edit the /etc/rsyncd.conf file and the /etc/rsync/rsyncd.motd file. Also I did these: etc/init.d/rsyncd start rc-update add rsyncd default This mod was already made to each client's /etc/make.conf file: SYNC=rsync://192.168.2.9/gentoo-portage 2. This only syncs up the /usr/portage tree but does not help reduce the number of distfiles downloads. Look at http://gentoo-wiki.com/Http_proxy OK, now I use document (C) to create the proxy entry on each client: Editing File: /etc/env.d/99local to look like this http_proxy=192.168.2.9:8080 instead of this http_proxy=proxy.server.com:8080 I check it on the client by issuing echo $http_proxy which give the correct results: 192.168.2.9:8080 So far so good??? and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_ LAN-Http-Replicator for instructions there. By using the http-replicator you only will be downloading distfiles/patch files once. OK here's where I use doc (D). http-replicator is masked so I # echo net-proxy/http-replicator /etc/portage/package.keywords # emerge http-replicator Which worked fine. Then I added this line to the clients and the rsync(distfile) server: http_proxy=http://192.168.2.9:8080; per the doc (D). On the server I ran: 'repcacheman --user portage --dir /var/cache/http-replicator' Then http-replicator start at boot: rc-update add http-replicator default and last run this daily on the server to keep it current? emerge -uDva world repcacheman Anything I missed? The last part of doc (D) is a little fuzzy, especially the part about deleting duplicate and deleting the distfile directory. ??? Surely parts of all (4) documents belong in one master howto? 3. There is no additional disk space requirements for the rsync mirror; you're serving up your existing /usr/portage directory so it's not like you wouldn't have those files around anyway. Yea, well I'll keep a close eye on this. I have the server set up, and one client to update manually off of the server, It all goes well, I'll add more systems, and automate via cron the system that stay up 24 hours a day. Is there a script to update workstation systems, automatically, say 10 minutes after booting? How best to do this? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
