[newbie] OT: Gnome Panel Level ??
Hi everyone, I know this is off topic, but maybe someone knows what's up with this... I just created a floating panel in Gnome, and added a "Desk Guide". Then I played around with the settings of the panel, and when I got to Panel/Properties/Level, I changed it from "Default" to "Below". The panel disappeared, and I have no clue whatsoever if it was deleted, or if it went under (below?) or how I can access it again?. I would just delete it and place a new one, but I can't select it since I can't see it. So my question is how do I know if it's still there (but invisible) and if it is still there how do I select it? And what does "Level" mean in the first place? The docs don't mention this (at least I haven't found them saying anything about this). Thanks in advance!!! Join Excite! - http://www.excite.comThe most personalized portal on the Web!
Re: [newbie] Upgrading Gcc to 3.01 from bugy 2.96 under Mandrak 8.2
I say 'buggy' becouse it does not compile some libs correclty; I was/am trying to compile and install the newest version of Mplayer (As said in the email- see, I DID tell you the prog), but due to the fact that some of the libs (like LAME for example)compile incorrectly due to a very small bug in the code that does not get used many times due to its nature, I am sorry if I offended, but I consider something buggy if it fails to do even one simple thing it should, such as failing to compile a bit of code when the language's own parameters lets you do it such and such a way; Its a personal definition, not stricly a technical one, although it does have merit under that term as well, you must admit - Once again, my headache (As I again said in the email) made me forget to #define myself a bit more.. oops. As for the agressive defence of it, I understand what you are saying, as I said, its a rare thing, yet when it does happen it creates errors; No matter how little experiance you have as a programer, a error is still a bug - I was not mistaken, although your point is taken, understood, and agreed on ;) As for cooker, if you are on the dev team (I have no idea, as I have not been on this list long enough to know the dynamics in detail), then may I sugest you take out xmovie and replace it with a working Mplayer?

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Well, unles you believe Mandrake developers are idiots, you should note that 2.96 has been in use there in preference to all others, for three distros. The so-called bugs were the fact that the compiler is STRICT, not allowing sloppy C++ code that 2.95 did allow (Perl compiled under 2.95.3 actually failed its own regression tests at our shop). Anyway, when we think about making a distro, we start with a compiler we can trust. We have tested all the gcc3.x compilers and yet they have not been used... Now finally, Cooker will be using a gcc3.1 version and this is likely to become the 9.0 distro compiler, but until this time, we had found nothing to match the performance of gcc2.96 in producing reliable code (many times we had to tweak source, but usually it was something simple like a header that was no longer loaded by default and had to be #include (d).) The fact that the number was abandoned by the gcc team made no difference in the stability of the compiler, which was a miraculous combination of patches. It shouldn't have worked as well as it has, but it undeniably did so. Now if we can compile 3000 packages with 2.96, could it be possible that the one or two you have that won't compile might be missing something, or be expecting some slack that is not there or even be set up as a few packages were to refuse to compile if it saw 2.96?

I wounderd whether it was possible to set up a situation, where you typed cdrecord into a terminal and all the availble choices came up, and you selected one and pressed enter,and the appropriate command line is then run. Just a thought. Hi John, depends what you are referring to. What choices of cdrecord do you want to have? If I recall there aren't so many options, or have you managed to get cdrecord to get your groceries and wash the car? ;-) I usually make a bash script for the program choices I want, but I have no idea what you mean with cdrecord.

Greetings Ralph Well, it''s not just cdrecord , but it will do for example, so within it's capabilities are to my certain knowledge audio, data, ISO image etc etc, now each one of these headings has a number of variation, so that shall we take for an instance audio writing, if I want to write audio tracks to disc and this is a multiple continuous audio track(without gaps) then I use, cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,1,0 -dao -audio -eject /homedirectory/tmp/*.wav this writes the individual files on my home directory in /tmp. but if i want to do the same with 2 second gaps gaps I think it is slightly different , anyway you get the idea, and so if one can set up aliases so that they do the full range of whatever commands you eventually wind up for the cdrecord programme, I think it needs to be organised in some way. The aim might be to type cdrecord into terminal, then, cdrecord - audio, read with gaps, opt 1 audio, read without gaps,opt 2 audio write with gaps, opt 3 audio write without gaps opt 4 select type option number command runs.

Re: [newbie] Was Boat Anchor - Now K7S5A Sound
snip The ECS K7S5A is high performance, but before 8.2 was little better than a boat anchor itself. With 8.2 you need to do some tweaks: 1. edit /etc/modules.conf and find the line that starts alias sound-slot-0 pcm-snd-i8x0 and delete it and the line following it. then put in this line alias sound i810_audio and save the file. Don't bother with your SB 16 card for this machine. The onboard sound is good once you get past the misconfiguration for/by ALSA.
