Re: [gentoo-user] Using java-config with manually installed JDKs
Felipe Ribeiro: I've installed the version from portage before, but i had performance problem with the amd64 version. so i decided to install the x86 version on my amd64 box. and i dunno how to do it with portage, so i installed manually.

[gentoo-user] Wireless print server recommendations
Good afternoon, I'm looking for recommendations for a wireless print server with a minimum of 1 USB2.0 port and 1 parallel port. I currently have a Linksys WRT4GS router running openWRT Linux firmware. I've looked at the Linksys WPS54G WPS54GU printer servers, but can't determine, and can't find via Scroogle, whether they support 3rd party firmware. Does anyone have any recommendations that: 1) Works just fine in a Linux environment. 2) Will accept 3rd party open source firmware, preferably openWRT. 3) Is just an outstanding deal. 4) Supports a HPDeskJet 5550 printer. (I only mention this because some reviewers have mentioned that the WPS54GS doesn't work with some USB printers.)

[gentoo-user] php 4.4.1-r3 wont emerge
I am trying to update my system, and it seemed like a good time to go from the old php ports to the dev-lang ports. But I'm having trouble building php-4.4.1-r3. I have masked php-5 and up, as I'm not quite ready to move to that yet. When I try to emerge php-4.4.1-r3, it stops with this error: QA Notice: USE Flag 'nis' not in IUSE for dev-lang/php-4.4.1-r3 I get the same error with php-5.0.5. I don't have nis set as a use flag anywhere in my stuff, though, and I cannot find it set for php in the profiles. I have put -nis into package.use for php and I have tried removing nis and setting -nis into /etc/make.conf, but nothing helps. I don't find reference to this issue when I google, so that tells me that something might be misconfigured in my system. I try not to do anything too wild, so I'm not sure what it might be. If it makes a difference, I have copied my system into another partition and I have chrooted into it. This has worked fine for me in the past, though, so it doesn't seem that would be the problem. Any helpful advice would be appreciated. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] OT: Default Scan Size
Hi, sorry, not Gentoo related, but as it happens on a Gentoo box :-) : My scanner just works fine using sane/scanimage; I mainly use Kooka, a KDE frontend for scanning. Recently I tried Kopyshop for doing easy paper copies. When starting Kooka the default scan size always is set to something way too small for A4 paper. I can set the size in Kooka, but I cannot in Kopyshop. I guess there's a config file where I can set the default scanning size for sane/scanimage instead of manually specifying the size in Kooka, but searching the web didn't bring up anything useful. So my question is: Does anyone know if there's any config file where I can put the default scanning size? Or is it hard coded into scanimage? If it was possible to set the default size in scanimage, I guess Kopyshop would really work cool. I'm even thankful for a pointer to the right RTFM :) .

If in that time you decide you want to buy it, then do so, uninstall the demo and reinstall the full version (which your purchase will enable you to download, if it is in fact a different download) with Portage.

[gentoo-user] Why does portage want to downgrade?
Here's the skinny: I updated iptables from 1.3.4 to 1.3.5 this weekend. Everything's cool. Next 'emerge --update --deep world' wants to downgrade iptables back to 1.3.4. So I add '--tree' to see what package wants it downgraded, and it's shorewall. I opened the shorewall ebuild, and it has a depend line for iptables stating: =net-firewall/iptables-1.2.4 Well, in my book both 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 are greater than the 1.2.4 dependency. So I don't understand why portage thinks it needs to downgrade iptables when clearly shorewall should be happy with 1.3.5. Anybody out there that can provide a clue?

[gentoo-user] Why does sendmail think its hosts name is `localhost'
Can anyone here tell me what might cause a tool like sendmail to get the idea its hosts name is `localhost'. I don't mean the generic way localhost is often used but as an actual host name: My home network is local.net0 the host sendmail runs on is reader Sendmail puts the righthand side of local mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sendmail logs show `localhost' where the host name normally is.

Re: [gentoo-user] A new experience an account on gentoo without root priv
here's a guide on the gentoo wiki to install the packages without portage http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_install_programs_without_portage i guess it's the closest you can get if there's a way to do it with emerge i'd like to know it for sure.

Does this fellow have a public mail address for dev work? Yes, of course, but I omitted it intentionally, because I think the best thing to do is post to the list. There you can publicly discuss the issue and find people thinking you are right and people against your point of view. IMO It is definitely more useful a post than a swarm of bugs marked as INVALID in a few minutes.

[gentoo-user] Console + setfont - Need larger fonts for Console (TV-Out)
Hi All, I'm trying to locate a nice and _BIG_ font to use on the console for when I use TV-Out. I know there are lots of fonts in /usr/share/consolefonts/ but I don't really want to go through them 1 by 1 to locate the one I want. Is there a utility for seeing these fonts? A font browser? Searching google didn't find anything positive. when I tried to look at it using gnome-font-browser, it says it can't load it. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
