[gentoo-user] Sharing file systems
HI This mail is not directly related to gentoo. I have gentoo,ubuntu 5.10 on my system and using FC3 since it was released. I tried to install FC4 on my system by sharing the swap and /home partition between FC4 and ubuntu. The installation went well. I did not install KDE in FC4. I was well aware of permission screw ups that this could lead to, hence I did not create any user (The UID and GID of root is preserved across Linux distros) I booted in as root and created a new user with UID and GID same as on ubuntu. Now I booted in GNOME and it was completely configured Moreover gaim started and signed me in to all my accounts!!! This was first time login... My question is that can sharing /home okay for a long run or will it lead to problems. Also can other file systems like /usr be shared along with this and if it can be then under what restrictions?? If any one has done this please let me know. Sumeet

Sharing the /home partition is fine, sharing a home directory between distros will cause trouble. Even if you fix the permissions problems, by giving the user the same UID on all distros, you'll have trouble when you have different versions of the same software and the configuration files get screwed. The solution I have used is to have a separate home directory for each distro, but keeping the same user name and ID. I named them nelz-gentoo, nelz-mandrake etc, to make it easy to keep track. For data you want to share between the distros, I used symlinks like ln -s ../nelz-gentoo/documents nlez-mandrake/documents.

Would there be a command to do so? To install: acroread Description: Adobe's PDF reader For an x86 system, would I download the file from adobe, then something like emerge acroread, and would that also give me the plugin for firefox? Or, is the firefox plugin for that through http://mozplugger.mozdev.org/ which connects to acroread? I know there are other GPL readers, of course. For perhaps a different thread, I'm feeling my way with with xmms, realplayer, windows media player, mplayer, shoutcast, streamripper and streamtuner, etc. Right now I have firefox configured such that an MP3 shoutcast playlist opens with Audio Player (xmms), which is ok, but I notice that streamtuner uses bmp. One of the reasons I'm looking at gentoo is in the hope that gentoo handles mplayer and the multitudes of codecs well. I have a gnoppix CD kicking around, so I'll probably use that, if I can find it. thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] kghostview pdf aspect distorted!
Hi all, When I open any pdf from any source (home-made or downloaded) in kghostview, they seem to be stretched wider than normal. Also the font is some ugly fixed-width font. However, in acrobat, or evince, the pdf's show nicely (correct aspect and fonts). You can see what I mean about the aspect here, but this is not my rig. I just found this when searching for the problem online. (Incidentally, I couldn't find an answer either): http://onfinite.com/libraries/145774/735.jpg I've tried manually setting the page size to A4 but no difference. Printing works great though!

Re: [gentoo-user] Is my postfix being used as a relay?
If you want to see what each of the emails in your queue is take a look in /var/spool/postifx. In that dir there are a number of subdirectories, including one called defer and one called deferred. As I don't have anything stuck in there I can't recall exactly which of those subdors houses the deferred messages. They are indexed in a further level of subdirs numbered 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D.E,F depending on the first character of the email's ID number (which you can see in the output of mailq). It is a hex number. Does that make sense? On Fri, 17 Mar 2006 09:41:06 -0800 Kevin O'Gorman wrote: On 3/17/06, John Jolet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes, I expose this machine's port 25 on purpose.

[gentoo-user] Problem burning Gentoo 700 MB LiveCD
Dear friends: I have been trying to burn the Gentoo 2006 ISO image to a Memorex 700 MB CD using Nero 5.5. I first tried to use other CD burning programs. They all gave the same error message: No media in the drive or Drive is empty. Please insert CD. Of course, the CD is in the drive. So, when Nero says: No media in the drive. Please insert CD the drive opens up and I close the drive (or replace the CD with a new CD). But it repeatedly refuses to proceed. I also tried to uninstall and install my Nero 5.0 and then Nero 5.5 to no avail. And yet, believe it or not, I did successfully burn an ISO image of the Gentoo Minimal InstallCD (49 MB). It took some effort (same error message) but finally succeeded. I could install the minimal 50 meg bootable CD. I know it works. But I would prefer to install the 697 MB LiveCD. Here are two images with data on what's going on: http://www.websher.net/temp/nero1.jpg http://www.websher.net/temp/nero2.jpg I would very much appreciate your help. Is this a hardware or software problem and is it fixable? At least, can I fix it enough to burn the Gentoo CD? Thank you again. Benjamin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
