Re: [gentoo-user] Palm Tungsten T5 help needed

Hello,
I am fighting now for a very long time to get my Palm T5 sync under
Linux. Unfortunately without any success, so maybe someone can
point me into the right direction. Ok, here is my setup:
1) kernel
Linux stonki 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 #3 SMP Thu Jan 12 21:24:53 CET 2006
x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD
GNU/Linux
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_VISOR=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
2) Udev
I have a working Tungsten E and it seems to me that you are suffering
from an UDEV problem. Here's what I got:
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-visor.rules:
KERNEL==ttyUSB[0-9]*, NAME=tts/USB%n, GROUP:=usb, MODE:=0666
BUS==usb, SYSFS{product}==Palm Handheld*, KERNEL=ttyUSB[13579],
SYMLINK=pilot, MODE:=0666, GROUP:=usb
/etc/udev/permissions.d/10-visor.permissions:
ttyUSB*:root:usb:0666
tts/[0-9]*:root:usb:0666
tts/USB[0-9]*:root:usb:0666
pilot:root:usb:0666
With that I am able to just use /dev/pilot regardless of which ttyUSB is
really created. Before I forget: I put myself in the usb group.
sys-fs/udev-070-r1
# PalmOne Tungsten T3
BUS=usb,SYSFS{serial}=12345467893ABC,NAME=pilot,OWNER=root,GROUP=tty,MODE=0660
#
# This works for one user's Handspring Visor. Put the desired user
in the usb group.
KERNEL=ttyUSB[01]*, NAME=tts/USB%n, GROUP=usb, MODE=0660
3) System
stonki portage # rc-update -s | grep hotplug
hotplug | boot
So, an up-to-date Kernel with Visor support, Udev is installed and
the hotplug daemon is running
--
4) I am now connecting the T5 to the computer without (!) pressing
anything !
stonki portage # udevinfo -p /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB3 -a
[...]
DRIVER==visor
[...]
SYSFS{product}==palmOne Handheld
SYSFS{serial}==504E35424D35543556305848
5) I am creating a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d
tonki rules.d # cat 10-udev.rules
# PalmOne Tungsten
BUS=usb,SYSFS{serial}=504E35424D35543556305848,NAME=pilot,OWNER=root,GROUP=tty,MODE=0660

# This works for one user's Handspring Visor. Put the desired user
in the usb group.
KERNEL=ttyUSB[0123]*, NAME=tts/USB%n, GROUP=usb, MODE=0660
6) am using the unstable pilot-link version (the stable did not work
for me as well), but still no success:
a) I am attaching the T5 without (!) pressing the sync button.
In /var/log/messages it says:

Re: [gentoo-user] How many people use KDE?
All right, my turn to congratulate KDE on doing such a fine job. --rant arg=slight-- I have been using Linux (Gentoo at that) for over 6 yrs. During that time I have tried Gnome, KDE, and XFCE off and on. After spending some time with each (2-3 weeks) I would always go back to a plain window manager (Openbox or FVWM). For the last 2yrs I had been using FVWM and had went to a lot of work to get my desktop completely customized to how I liked it, then KDE 3.5 came out and I decided to give it a shot, especially since I had been doing some reading about KDE 4 and was totally amazed by Plasma and how they are planning on interfacing with DBUS / HAL. I must say combining the easy configurability of KDE and the unbloatfullness of split ebuilds. KDE is now just about perfect for me, my only 2 complaints that I have so far (1 being Amarok and not KDE) are I wish KDE 3.5 was a little faster but that should get fixed with 4.x and I wish that Amarok handled Podcasts with more flexibility and allowed me to create playlists and such automaticlaly on my iPod (problem solved by not using Amarok and using bashpodder / gnupod). KDE has been a great experience and I can see why Linus prefers it over Gnome (I used to enjoy Gnome more than KDE). This all being said I am very excited to see what KDE dev's come up with next (maybe a good Arts successor). --/rant-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] 3dlabs Wildcat Realizm
Hello all!! I just purchased a 3dlabs Wildcat Realizm card, and I only would like to know if there is someone who had ever used under linux. They have drivers, but I'm having really big problems with their precompiled drivers It comes with a sh script that takes care of systems's requirements and then: tail -n 98 to say from here this is a tar file and it tries to untar the precompiled driver. Tweakeing I made it work (because it was made for Redhad Enterprise 4). Now the problem says that tar file has obsolete 64-bits headers or something like that. In any case I don't want to do this kind of investigations any time a new driver is released or I update the system... So, any one uses Wildcat Realizm?

With USE flags, the user can control what gets compiled and what not. If the developer has functions that are not ever being used, then that's the developer's fault.

The problem you;ll have is that Gentoo moves much faster than 3DLabs, and much faster than Xig, which used to supply the Linux driver for the older 3DLabs card (technically, the Xserver as well). 3DLabs, somewhat like ATI is more concerned with their WinXX customers - the big OEMS, big dmedia customers, and others where they can make the most of Marketing messages, and sell numerous cards. Nvidia is like this as well, but internally, has a large base of Linux using developers - not Linux specific developers, but devs that won't use other operating systems. Thus tended to get through the Linux ramp-up for drivers really fast as it had a large self-interest. So expect to have to stay on the same kernel/Xorg for a really long time. Best to switch over to just updating for GLSA issues and running a really stable system. And then when you do upgrade, expect to have to deal with the issue again. Most of 3DLabs' base will buy a set of systems and cards for a specific project, and after the 3 yrs or so the project runs, move on to the next project, at which time they will update the software and probably hardware as well.

Re: [gentoo-user] How many people use KDE?
On Sunday 22 January 2006 16:57, Mark Knecht wrote: Is there no 'kde-light' to get me the environment without all the zillions of apps, etc.? Yes, with kde split ebuilds it's actually possible to build a light kde system. Just emerge kdebase-startkde and build from there adding the apps you need (usually, kicker, konsole and konqueror are enough to give you an usable desktop, but I must admit that the notion of usable is very subjective; anyway, I hope you get the idea). In fact, you can have a functional kde desktop by installing no more than 20-30 applications among the zillions you mentioned before :) HTH -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Or, if you want, you can modify the 1.0.4 ebuild to accept poppler. I just switched to the unstable portaltransforms for now, and all is fine.

[gentoo-user] emerge mc: undefined reference to `write_socket'
Hi all,
thanks for your support on this mailing list.
Gentoo is a very great Linux distribution.
I have a question about Midnight Commander:
I can't emerge mc because of a compiler error.
Does somebody knows how to fix it?
I tried already to remove samba in the USE flags, but it changes nothing.
When I try to emerge mc, I get this error:

As it turns out, nothing! I was aware of fgrep but had never checked it

[gentoo-user] Re: vim USE flag: vim-with-x
* Walter Dnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] [22/01/06 06:14]:
The one thing I find painful in my setup is copying text from the X
session to a text session or visa versa. I end up opening vim in X,
saving the selected text to ~/x, switching to a text console, and then
:r ~/x
in vim. At work, where I have to use Windows (ptui) I can copy text
from the GUI to the clipboard, {ALT-TAB} to a vim session, and paste the
clipboard with * even if vim is running in a textmode console. Is
there some similar channel for vim in linux?
If you just set DISPLAY correctly before you run vim (usually ':0.0'),
you can do it the same. You can even use the mouse (if you use gpm)

I just wasted my holiday installing e17 on two of three machines. It is smaller than Kde, but background is 20% of cpu . Buggy. Beautiful. A PITA to configure, and menus suck. I don't think I'll be there long. I liked enlightenment .16 except I guess I really do need icons to remind me of what I've got on the system, and good menus. that was exactly how I felt. All the problems to get it installed, and than it was such a bad thing to configureuse, that I deinstalled it some days later. I used earlier enlightenment incarnations as my main desktop for some time, back, when KDE 2.X was dead slow, but when KDE 3 came out, enlightenment lost its appeal. That's a bit unfair on e17, given that it's still pre-release software. It is indeed buggy at the moment (though I should add I haven't had any problems with more recent CVS installations), but that's to be expected in a pre-release, and you're warned about it in big red letters when you emerge it. It is also a PITA to configure at the moment, but graphical menu managers, keybinding editors, icon creaters, desktop icons, etc. are planned before the release version, and every CVS checkout seems to add more graphical configuration options at the moment, and reduce the number of times I resort to the enlightenment-remote shell command. Finally, on my ancient Pentium2 450, it uses 2-3% of cpu. In fact, I find it more responsive than e16. So I'm not sure where the 20% comes from. Maybe you've enabled lots of the processor intensive eye-candy, like animated backgrounds or the snow or flames modules? Or you just need to update to a more recent CVS release. Without wishing to start a flame war, it's unfair to the developers to give the impression that their software doesn't work very well without at least mentioning it's pre-release (and therefore not expected to!). And really, criticising it at all for being buggy and lacking features is a little unfair. If you're not prepared to put up with some rough edges, wait for the official release version. Just to put in a good word for e17 to balance the discussion... Personally, I prefer enlightenment to KDE or gnome because I don't like the whole integrated desktop approach. I prefer my window manager to manage windows, and leave me free to run whichever apps I like. My ideal window manager has nothing at all on the desktop (except maybe a wallpaper to gaze at when nothing's running), no gizmos taking up desktop real-estate, an easy way to run my most frequently used apps and some way to get at any others I might need occasionally, some way to navigate between running apps, and as much as possible of this should be manageable from the keyboard (with completely configurable keybindings). If it does all this and looks beautiful at the same time, so much the better! I find that, of the traditional window managers, enlightenment comes closest to this ideal (though I admit I've never tried FLuxbox or IceWM - I stopped looking when I found I was happy with enlightenment). Since a lot of e17 features are written as modules, I can choose not to load (or often not to install) them, so only those features I want take up disc space and memory (it's the gentoo way!). For instance, I don't bother loading e17's start menu. (what's the point when I have ibar and keybindings to run the apps I use most, and the run dialogue for the rest?). But it's there for those who want it. E17 has completely configurable keybindings, even if they're a pain to configure at the moment, and the enlightenment-remote command line...err...command is fantastic for getting shell scripts to interact with the window manager. If you've read all that, you'll not be surprised I also like ratpoison ;-) But I haven't used it long enough to get used to it yet. And I've not got beyond installing ion yet. Window managers are very much a personal choice, and there is no right decision, except try out a few and decide for yourself. Which means it's worth at least being aware that there are plenty of other choices apart from KDE and gnome, if you're not happy with them (unlike a certain other OS, where there's not even a single alternative ;) Toby -- PhD Student Quantum Information Theory group Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics Garching, Germany email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: www.dr-qubit.org -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If I remove the -p and do it, hal-0.5.5.1-r3 pops up in 'emerge -uD world' and on and on and on...
