The only difference between you and the others that I can see is that you chose to read while others don't. Well, could be many things.

The more experience you have, the more likely you are able to solve a *new* problem quickly, as it could be related in some way. Perhaps you can call this intuition. And I'm sure there are many more. So no, not superior intelligence. In fact, I don't believe in *genius*. :) Actually, I had a great debate about this topic with a guy at work. He worships people like Linus and such. I told him that even people like Linus, although intelligent, will happily admit that they are products of circumstance. And, to prove my point, I did a search about Linus on this topic. As it were, he wrote a book called The Accidental Revolutionary, or something like that. I've actually been meaning to read it. So, either Linus has false humility (which is arrogance), or he means what he says. I've also found that those who think they are intelligent, usually are not. :D As it were, I believe Linus to actually be intelligent, only because he decides to actually work, rather than sit on his butt all day.

OK... have you checked KMix to make certain that it's unmuted and not taking over the mixer settings from ALSA? Do you have any other unusual conditions/setup relating to sound on your system? Multiple sound cards, recording setup? Do you use any unusual compiler flags that might have caused arts to *seem* to compile all right, but in fact break? How have you installed KDE? Split ebuilds?

Re: [gentoo-user] how to remove gnome complete
Thank you, i will try this, but i have emerged the gnome-light meta-package + some other gnome packages witch are part of the gnome meta-package, but i did not remember all of them. So i thought there is a simple way to remove all of them. When i remove the gnome light meta-package, will the additional packages i have installed become orphaned too, i am not sure if they will so i probably have to remove them manually I did not use any of the gnome packages like evolution or totem before, so i started to think the only thing i need is a nice comfortable and custumizable windowmanger and gnome even gnome-light is to big for me. Regards Daniel Holly Bostick schrieb: Daniel Pielmeier schreef: hello all, i want to test some other windowmanagers and if i find one that satisfies me i want to switch from the gnome-desktop to this windowmanager. So how can i remove all gnome packages. Is it save to remove all gnome-base and gnome-extra packages and run emerge depclean and revdep-rebuild. A better way would be to emerge -C gnome(-light) to unmerge the meta-package you installed (either gnome or gnome-light; this will not unmerge any packages, just the meta-package, but it will orphan all the dependent programs that were installed by the meta-package, which is what you want), then run emerge depclean -p to show the now-orphaned dependencies of those meta-packages, emerge -C(av) the ones you know you don't want (since you might, for example, want to keep Evolution, if you use it, or Totem or whatever; just because you don't use the GNOME desktop doesn't mean you have to stop using every GNOME package you might enjoy, even under another WM), emerge (-av) any of the packages that you may want to keep (to get them into your world file) run emerge depclean -p again to confirm that you got rid of everything you wanted gone, if so, you're done, if not, rinse and repeat. Don't really know why a revdep-rebuild would be necessary, but it doesn't hurt to do one (with -p first). And of course, you don't necessarily have to remove GNOME at all, just because you use another WM/DE (unless you have a disk space issue or something). Suppose your other WM/DE breaks? It can be useful to have a spare around so that you have something to login to, if you feel more comfortable inside a GUI. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrade + gcc dilemma
On Sun, 08 Jan 2006 01:50:10 -0600 Anthony E. Caudel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, my problem is, how do I avoid the extra 100, unnecessary compiles? I tried emerge --emptytree --upgrade -p but it ignored the upgrade option so I can't combine them that way. Simply put you can't. The base system - emerge -e system, has to be done once and that gets everything in the system profile built with gcc 3.4. However, both gcc and glibc need to be rebuilt again after the first pass, and anything using glibc needs to be rebuilt after glibc has been recompiled, thus the - emerge -e world. Think about it this way - things like binutils and linux-headers are used with gcc-3.4 and the old glibc to rebuild glibc. But the new glibc is different than the old glibc, thus bin-utils is working with pointers to places in glibc that may not exist any more. Thus needs to be rebuilt with the new glibc, as does ncurses, zlib and a ton of other things. One thing you could do to speed up the emerge -e system pass is to add a - USE=-X -doc to avoid building Xorg on the system pass. Still it take two complete passes to use both the new gcc and the glibc compiled with the new gcc. Look ate the output of emerge -ep system. All those packages before glibc have to be rebuilt after glibc has been rebuilt. And all the packages after glibc that have dependencies on the previous packages have to be rebuilt after the previous packages have been built with the new glibc. This is essentially what occurs during a Stage 1 install and /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh is run - multiple passes, rebuilding the system profile in a specific sequence.

Probably my best results have been using ivtv from the web site instead of portage, but even that hasn't been fool proof.

[gentoo-user] rss-glx + KDE + kscreensaver problem
Hi list, i'm trying to install the rss-glx screensaver and i'm using the KDE window manager. After a successful installation i can see the kscreensaver entries in the Screen Saver section of the kcontrol module. However when i try to test the screensaver or tweak the screensaver with the setup option nothing happens. Looking into more details in the .desktop links that define the menu entries, it appears that it is searching for two programs kxsconfig for the setup and kxsrun for the run part, that are actually non existing in my machine Here's an example for the solarwinds saver: #cat /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/solarwinds.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=solarwinds Icon=kscreensaver Type=Application Actions=InWindow;Root Name=Solarwinds (GL) [Desktop Action Setup] Exec=kxsconfig solarwinds Name=Setup...

Next, I want to get mythfrontend working on my wife's computer. It will need to use the database and mythbackend on my computer remotely. Is there anything special I need to know to make this work? I've already set up the IP address in mythsetup on my machine to my PC's network address... The issue here is to get mysql to allow your wife's machine to have access. I am WOEFULLY inadequate and uneducated in this area. I promise that I am giving you incomplete or inaccurate info. (Honestly and openly though...) IIRC you need to do at least three things: 1) Set up mysql on the server to bind to the network. From /etc/mysql/my.cnf # keep secure by default! bind-address= 192.168.1.55 port= 3306 # this can make it even more secure: .55 is our backend address. Substitute your backend's IP and restart mysql. (NOTE - don't run that machine with DHCP...) 2) Change the settings in mythsetup to use your IP address instead of localhost. Do not change other settings. 3) You then have to run some mysql commands shown on the web to give remote devices access to the database. IIRC I used the strategy where you make eveything on the local net able to access the server. I thought it was in the Gentoo wiki but I'm not seeing it right now: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV Go to the MySQL section 9.2. It should have been there, I thought. (Incorrectly) It's probably in Jarod's Fedora setup guide for MythTV. The deal here is that the standard setup for MySQL is overly secure for a MythTV type setup and you need to open it up. I hope this info is at least moderately helpful. I admit I'm a putz. I did get it working, but it was nearly a year ago I think. - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Re: rss-glx + KDE + kscreensaver problem
Hi list, i'm trying to install the rss-glx screensaver and i'm using the KDE window manager. After a successful installation i can see the kscreensaver entries in the Screen Saver section of the kcontrol module. However when i try to test the screensaver or tweak the screensaver with the setup option nothing happens. Looking into more details in the .desktop links that define the menu entries, it appears that it is searching for two programs kxsconfig for the setup and kxsrun for the run part, that are actually non existing in my machine Here's an example for the solarwinds saver: #cat /usr/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/solarwinds.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Exec=solarwinds Icon=kscreensaver Type=Application Actions=InWindow;Root Name=Solarwinds (GL) [Desktop Action Setup] Exec=kxsconfig solarwinds Name=Setup... [Desktop Action InWindow] Exec=kxsrun solarwinds -- -window-id %w Name=Display in specified window NoDisplay=true [Desktop Action Root] Exec=kxsrun solarwinds -- --root Name=Display in root window NoDisplay=true Any ideas? PS: they are working well if one calls them directly on the command line (i.d. /usr/lib/misc/xscreensaver/solarwinds) Ok. Sorry to all it was my fault. I compiled some time ago kdeartwork-kscreensaver without xscreensaver. so the kxsrun and kxsconfig binaries were not created. Just enabling the xscreesaver USE flags has resolved this issue.

[gentoo-user] No xterms after kernel upgrade.
Hello all,
I recently upgraded the kernel on my laptop to 2.6.14-r5, as well as Xorg, and
many other packages. Since this change I cannot run an xterm anymore. I seem
to recall this happening to me years ago, but I do not remember the cause.
When I start X, all is well, and everything runs as it should, except for term
programs. Eterm hangs there, but instead of a prompt, I get press esc to
exit. konsole and {a,x}term don't even show up, although I suspect they are
just starting then stopping immediately.
I do have psuedo terminals in my kernel, and in fact the config is exactly as
it was with the old kernel.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this? If you want to see my config file or
something else just ask.
Thanks,
-d

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - mysql (WAS: [Re: OT - Need help with mythfronted GUI])
What instructions? Are you referring to the GRANT line? I did that yesterday. As for the mythbackend server IP, I set that two or three days ago. It's in the database correctly: mysql select * from settings WHERE value = 'BackendServerIP'; +-+-+--+ | value | data| hostname | +-+-+--+ | BackendServerIP | 192.168.1.3 | camille | +-+-+--+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) What else do I need to do? Again, I'm not that good on this stuff but it's this basic command: The specific grant command is this one, or something like it: % mysql -u root -p mysql GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mythconverg.* TO 'mythtv'@'remotehost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' Before you do that make sure you have camille's address in /etc/mysql/my.cnf: # keep secure by default! bind-address= 192.168.1.3 port= 3306 # this can make it even more secure: Make sure you have 192.168.1.3 in the mythsetup stuff for the server. At this point you should try logging into the mysql server from a terminal on both the server and your wife's machine. If you cannot log in then neither can Myth.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - mysql (WAS: [Re: OT - Need help with mythfronted GUI])
OK. I went to my terminal on catherine and put in the line you suggested. Here's the output: catherine ~ # mysql -u mythtv -h 192.168.1.3 -p mythconverg Enter password: ERROR 1130 (0): Host 'catherine.espersunited.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server This suggests that the mythconverge database hasn't been properly modified with the GRANT ALL command we talked about earlier. One other possibility I found from rereading somuch of the painful thread I created 9 months ago was that I did have to restart mysql after doing the GRANT commands. DId you do that on the backend machine? /etc/init.d/mysql restart However, when I try it on camille it doesn't work either, unless I remove the host entry: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mysql -u mythtv -h 192.168.1.3 -p mythconverg Would it allow mysql -u mythtv -h localhost -p mythconverg Enter password: ERROR 1130 (0): Host 'camille.espersunited.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server Ahone other possibility I remember running into was that camille.espersunited.com is NOT the same as camille. mysql was VERY picky about names in my hosts file, etc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mysql -u mythtv -p mythconverg Yes, this command does not attempt to bind over the network. (I thinkdon't trust me!!) The correct address IS in my.cnf: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep 'bind-address' bind-address= 192.168.1.3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/mysql/my.cnf | grep 'port' port= 3306 [mysqlimport] port= 3306 So why can't I connect with the IP address? Mythsetup already has 192.168.1.3 as the address of the backend server... This is so similar to what I stuggled with for weeks. I think you're very close if we can just find the trick. Definately try restarting at least mysql and also mythbackend: /etc/init.d/mythbackend stop /etc/init.d/mythbackend status /etc/init'd/mysql restart /etc/init.d/mythbackend start /etc/init.d/mythbackend status Don't totally trust the Gentoo scripts to do this right.

[gentoo-user] Udev Permissions
I've been having trouble getting udev to create stuff with the right
permissions. The latest is with my phone which has a USB Mass Storrage
Interface. I've added this line to my 10-local.rules:
# My Phone
BUS=usb, SYSFS{interface}=Sony Erics Memory Stick,
KERNEL=sd?1,NAME=%k, SYMLINK=phonemem, GROUP=users, MODE=0660
Which sort of works. It creates the /dev/phonemem symlink to /dev/sdc1
when I plug my phone in. However instead of giving it the group
permissions I suggest it still selects disk:
malory rules.d # ls -l /dev/phonemem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 9 01:00 /dev/phonemem - sdc1
malory rules.d # ls -l /dev/sdc1
brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 33 Jan 9 01:00 /dev/sdc1
malory rules.d # ls -l /dev/sdc
brw-rw 1 root disk 8, 32 Jan 9 01:00 /dev/sdc
I was under the impression that configuring things in 10-local should
overide any of the following general stuff in the main body of rules.
Have I come across a bug or have I just not understood the subtly of
creating the rule?

[gentoo-user] Sata Controllers and drives
I have a system I need to upgrade from SCSI with an Adaptec 3210S RAID (I'm using HItachi nee IBM SCSI Ultrastor drives which aren't holding up too well) and am looking at going with SATA. Some input from the those with recommendations or experiences would be appreciated. 1. SATA Controllers - I see a bunch listed in menuconfig but what have you found to work? Is Promise any good? What are some good brands 2. Sata drives - what have you found to be reliable and work well. I've crossed Hitachi off my list because of my experience with the Ultrastores. Thank you. -- Brett I.

[gentoo-user] Mailing list problems
Are there issues with the mailing lists at the moment? I have made a few posts in the last 2-3 hours that have yet to show up on the lists. I've also noticed considerably less traffic on the lists in recent days, could this be due to a general email slow down due to an increase in spam email traffic? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
