[gentoo-user] opensource arcade game alike ?

2008-09-10 Thread zhangweiwu
Hello. Is there an opensource arcade game that plays very similar to
old-school CPS1/CPS2 games, like Captain Commando, Cadillacs and
Dinosaurs, Warriors of Fate, Final Fight and Streets of Rage?

This category of arcade game different from typical arcade Super Mario
that it features sideway movement (instead of only forward/backward),
combo attack (press punch continuously), special move (usually down +
up + punch) and a health slot (picking up food would add health back).

I played many opensource arcade games, but most are more Super Mario
like rather than CPS games. I haven't tried all games in
portage/games-arcade, but if someone already know some in that style...

Maybe not what you're looking for, but don't those games run under MAME?

The style of game you're looking for is the Beat 'Em Up genre
(Double Dragon maybe was the first). CPS1/2 games are not limited to
this genre (Street Fighter 2 is an example), and not all of the games
you listed were CPS1/2 games (i think Streets of Rage was a home
console game only).

I think you may be interested in Beats of Rage:

After I learned this category of game is usually referred as Beat 'em
up, I quickly become able to use google to answer my own question.
Beats of Rage runs on Linux, is opensource (but license was not
mentioned on their website, the corresponding project on sf.net suggest
it's BSD license). Streets of Rage Remake is another one in theory can
be built on Linux but nobody seems released source code of it or Linux
binary.



Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} GPG: pub sec keys required to decrypt?

2008-09-10 Thread Grant
 Can I configure this so that I don't have the two keys on the same
 system?  I'd like encrypt with my remote system and decrypt with my
 local system.  Is that possible?  It seems like importing my private
 key also imports the public key.

 I'm a bit confused as to what you're trying to do.  If you are encrypting
 mail to other people, you should be using *their* public key, not your own.
  The only case where you need your public key is to encrypt mail to
 *yourself*; otherwise you don't need either of your keys on the remote
 system.

I'm trying to encrypt email on my remote system and read it on my
local system.  I'm the only one who needs to read the mail.

Should I delete the private key from the remote system?  It sounds
like the public key can always be regenerated from the private key so
there's no use in deleting it from the local system.

it's only appears on first console (tty1)

but i think i'm ok with kernel and /dev/ permission

#ls -alh /dev/tty[0-2]
crw--w 1 root root 4, 0 10 set 19:57 /dev/tty0
crw--- 1 root root 4, 1 10 set 20:21 /dev/tty1
crw--- 1 root root 4, 2 10 set 20:20 /dev/tty2


# more .config | grep UNIX98_PTY
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y

i can see the warning also like nomal user and root user

can be grub setting 

nel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/sda2 splash=profile,silent
video=uvesafb:1680x1050-32,mtrr:3,ywrap quiet CONSOLE=/dev/tty1  

?

 I would have thought google would return thousands of hits for a message like

 This error seems to relate to not having access to the tty device. Here's a 
 good place to start:
 
 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-152855.html?sid=657f0bbf1fe140faf141b965bbf161ad
 
 Also check obvious things like UNIX98_PTY is enabled in your kernel, and your 
 user does have permissions on the console devices /dev/{p,t}ty*
 
 Normally, it user root, group tty and the user is in the tty group

Make sure that there is a console device in 'real' dev.

There is a recent thread about the splash not working.  It may not be a 
console problem but a splash problem.  Something about the splash image 
being moved or something.  I don't use splash here, don't reboot enough 
to need one.  LOL

Personally, I find the little green OKs crawling up the right hand side of

ever be. Plus I get to see if stuff actualloy still works or not...

But that's just me. I'm weird like that.

Well, I like to freak out the windoze users when they see it.  I tell 
them that if something fails on mine, I know it before it hits the fan.  
LOL  It's better than finding out later that something important didn't 
start.  It also doesn't fake that it is started either.

[gentoo-user] APIPA address

2008-09-10 Thread Mick
I keep getting this Class B subnet 169.254.0.0 in my routing table on my 
laptop and I'm not sure why this is happening (for some months now).

# route -n

Does it matter?  I just don't want to have things configured without 
understanding why they are so, especially when this is not a MSWindows 
machine to use by design an APIPA scheme.  Should I do anything about it?
