Re: [gentoo-user] Any Flash editor with gui?
Mick wrote: Hi All, I am looking for a flash editor like e.g. (Adobe) Macromedia Flash is for M$Windoze and AppleMac. My wife needs to learn how to create flash animations and I can't find anything in portage . . . Google tells me that F4L is a flash GUI editor, but probably needs some more development. I keep telling her to pull her finger out and learn some raw action script, but her M$Windoze-GUI dependency is hard to overcome. What do Gentoo people use to develop flash stuff? A lot of Linux users don't like Flash because it is not a standard. When Adobe makes the player source available, I bet we will see Flash compilers for other platforms. :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] net.eth0 net.eth1 net.eth2 persist in trying to come up even though not in any run level.
Richard Watson wrote: Hi, I recently upgraded my system with emerge -uDN world. Afterwards I found that net.eth0 was grabbing my firewire port (ieee1394) and I needed to create net.eth2 for my NIC as net.eth1 was being assigned to my wireless. My problem is that although rc-update show indicates all my interfaces are NOT being loaded other than net.lo at boot (which is what I want) my system keeps trying to start net.eth0 net.eth1 net.eth2 in the default run level. Can anybody help? It's very frustrating waiting for these interfaces to try and connect before timing out.

I think that will depend on your USE flags. You may want to post that. It may be some sort of plugin too. On mine, it pops up like yours does then when I click on 'open in a new window', it pops up the contents. I can then copy them to the hard drive or whatever. This is done in Konqueror by the way.

It can be difficult to detect the type of a CD as not all of them follow the red book audio standard. Some may be 'enhanced' CDs that include videos and images on a data track, they will show up as a plain data cd. I think some copy protection methods can make a CD deviate enough from the standard to make it look like something else. Although regardless of what KDE thinks, the CD should still work perfectly fine when played. Thanks for the explanation. Yep, it works fine. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
