 Good point! :) What about media-sound/cdplay? Doesn't seem to have any
 dependencies at all.

  I tried that too.  It appears to play the CD, but no sound.  It does
output through the CDROM's headphone jack on my old Dell.  I don't
really want to, but I may have to open up the PC and muck around with

[gentoo-user] *SOLVED* App/plugin to play CD?

2006-05-14 Thread Walter Dnes
  Installing the XMMS plugin is the first step.  There are two ways to
get XMMS to work...


  1) From L or Play File

  In XMMS L (or select Play file from the menu)

  Navigate to /dev/cdrom (or whatever device name your CD has)

  Click on Play.  Nothing happens, but don't worry...

  Click on right-pointing triangle (2nd from the left along the bottom)

...and it finally plays.


  2) From CTRL-C or Play AudioCD

  In XMMS CTRL-C or (or select Play AudioCD from the menu)

  Click on right-pointing triangle (2nd from the left along the bottom)

  Menu opens up.  It's already at /dev and the selection cdrom

  Click on Play.  Nothing happens, but don't worry...

  Click on right-pointing triangle (2nd from the left along the bottom)

...and it finally plays.



  Somewhat convoluted, if you ask me.

You might find gentoo-portage.com interesting for browsing portage. It's
pretty much the same thing you'd find in /usr/portage, but with a pretty

cdplay is sending output through the analog or digital line on the cdrom
drive, to the soundcard. If there is not a line plugged into the sound
card, then you will not hear sound. Many cd playing applications now will
read the cd itself rather than just sending the play command to the drive.

Strange, when I play Ctrl+C my XMMS reads the CD, fetches all the
titles and starts playing the first track, all on its own . . .

I use the CD Audio Player 1.2.10 [libcdaudio.so] module.

The only thing that annoys me on a laptop of mine (Compaq Evo N600c)
is that there is NO sound, until I either:
1. Press the sound +/- buttons on the front of the laptop (they
increase/decrease the Master setting of alsamixer)
2. Launch alsamixer and change (up or down) the sound setting of Master or PCM.

The same annoying 'feature' happens with the console bell - as it
happens I want to have bell sounding on the console.

Has anyone seen this mute-until-you-change-volume-setting before?

[gentoo-user] using xscreensaver hacks in gnome-screensaver (gnome 2.14)

2006-05-14 Thread Iain Buchanan
Hi All,

For a while I was looking for how to get gnome-screensaver (gnome-2.14)
to use xscreensaver hacks. Well, I never found out anything, so I wrote
this script to convert the xscreensaver xml files to
gnome-screensaver .desktop files. Just run it like this:
$ xs2gs.pl /path/to/xscreensaver-files/ tmp/

then when you're happy with all the files in /tmp, copy them
to /path/to/gnome-screensaver-files/

That's usually /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/ for the xscreensaver
hacks, and /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes/ for the
gnome-screensaver files.

If your favourite hack doesn't work, let me know and I may get around to
working on it :)

save this as xs2gs.pl

enjoy :)

Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and

I go ahead and remove the pretend option or reemerge gcc, and the next 
run of revdep-rebuild show the same thing. I'm not real sure how to
proceed.

All ideas welcome,

Hello,

I don't know if I missed a previous message, but you give no clue as to what 
hardware you have. It seems you have no sound card installed. Either you did 
not compile the appropriate module, or it is not getting loaded.

You should  load the module for you card manualy (e.g. modprobe 
your_sound_module), chechk that it works then add it  
in /etc/modules.autoload.d/your kernel.

[gentoo-user] ALSA and Gnome problem.

2006-05-14 Thread Allan Spagnol Comar

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing a real odd thing, I configured my kernel to alsa for
NVIDIA AC'97 sound card, the sound options had beeing done well since
cat /proc/asound/cards returns:
0 [CK804  ]: NFORCE - NVidia CK804
 NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at 0xda003000, irq 11

nice,
XMMS plays my mp3 and ogg files, mplayer plays most part of my videos,
but mplayers always says at starttup that audio device is already in
use, but it plays video with audio.

Until there, no real problem, but gnome enviroment sounds just don't
work, if I change multimedia for alsa none of the other programs work
and gnome sound events sound shuttering.

What can I do to solve this issue ? anyone had a clue ?

Thanks for all the support, Allan.

 Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and

 I go ahead and remove the pretend option or reemerge gcc, and the next 
 run of revdep-rebuild show the same thing. I'm not real sure how to

Hi,
Check Bug-125728, there's a solution too, but only for GCC-4.X branch.
For 3.4.X manually fix the two broken files. Two steps below:
1.qlist gcc | grep -i libgcj.la (equery files gcc | grep -i libgcj.la);
2.manually replace /usr/lib/libgcj.la with
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/libgcj.la (from step 1).
PS:the solution for gcc-4.X is by putting a new option in an eclass.

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't get sound

2006-05-14 Thread Tito Valentin




Thierry,

Here is what my sound card is based on lspci:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER
(ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

I can add the card manually when I do:

# modprobe snd

But after that, if I play something I get the following error:

Hello,

I don't know if I missed a previous message, but you give no clue as to what 
hardware you have. It seems you have no sound card installed. Either you did 
not compile the appropriate module, or it is not getting loaded.

You should  load the module for you card manualy (e.g. modprobe 
your_sound_module), chechk that it works then add it  
in /etc/modules.autoload.d/your kernel.

Thierry

There is probably a better way, but I just added the

/etc/make.conf to prevent revdep-rebuild from looking there.  The java

built with gcj might break one day.  But the other libraries
(libstdc++.so in particular) only rely on glibc, and if the major

I'm not sure why php-5 is being installed, but it's not too likely

No, they just think you're loading the wrong kernel through some human

You might have luck just backing up your .config, deleting all of the

config), removing the modules from /lib/modules, booting from a live cd,
emerging a new kernel, copying the .config to /usr/src/linux, running make

I doubt that you are adding anything to be honest, unless there is
such a module called snd.  Also, if you also pass the -v option to
modprobe it will tell you what's happening.

I suggest that you recompile your kernel adding the appropriate module
for your hardware.  Then run: # modprobe -v snd-intel8x0, while you
keep an eye on dmesg.

You may have to also select your device in XMMS
(Options/Preferences/Alsa Output Plugin/Configure.

Good luck.  :-)

[gentoo-user] OpenOffice with KDE icons (ooo-kde)

2006-05-14 Thread Mick

Hi All,

Until recently ( a couple of stable versions ago) I used to have
ooo-kde in my USE flags, which emerged OOo with the nicer (me thinks)
Ximian style icons.

Well, ooo-kde is now deprecated.  I removed it and ever since OOo is
launched with the uglier menu icons.  That's despite me having kde,
qt, -gnome, -gtk in my flags.

Why is this happening?  How can I compile it to recognise the
KDE/Ximian looks?  Bear in mind that it takes me  than 23 hours to
emerge it on this slow machine of mine and I would rather not have to
experiment any more - I mean, I am wearing the CPU out with this
problem!

Is it an env problem?  I am really lost with this because I do not
understand how OOo links into the DE.

PS.  Yes, on this slow machine the binary is significantly slower, so
I am mostly interested on solutions applicable to emerging from
source.

Yep. That's because you used JDK 5.0. In bugzilla you can find

No, all is fine. Everything is going as expected.

Either fix all the packages yourself as you insisted on
using JDK 5.0, despite it being hardmasked. Or you remove
all the Java packages which got installed after you installed
JDK 5.0 and install them new, now that you're back with JDK 1.4.2.

 Here is what my sound card is based on lspci:

 I can add the card manually when I do:

 # modprobe snd


Try

#modprobe snd-intel8x0

If it does'nt complain,  in /etc/modules.d/alsa, add the lines

alias snd-card0 snd-intel8x0
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss

then

#/etc/init.d/alsasound restart

No, that's not how it sounds like. It sounds like they don't
understand how that happens and have a hard time following
that. So they are trying to get you to a certain point, which
is more or less clean.

The problem is, that your problem description isn't clear.

No, maxim.  Most likely, YOU have made a mistake somewhere in
upgrading your kernel.  Either you are not buildilng what you think
you are, or are not copying it to where you think you are, or are not
booting from what you think you are.

But you keep trying to convince everyone that you did not make a
mistake, and are not providing enough detailed information for them
(or us, I remember the previous thread here on this issue)  to either
tell you where you made your mistake, or mentally get past the
likelihood that you made a mistake and consider other options.

I asked you for dmesg output on your previous thread here.  You did not respond.
Daniel asked you to attach dmesg output on your bug report.  You did not.

So, again, I will try to help you...

1. If not already done, configure your kernel General Setup - Kernel
.config supprt and the sub-option Enable access to .config through
/proc/config.gz.

2. If necessary, rebuild and re-install the 2.6.16 kernel.

3. Reboot from the 2.6.16 kernel, and run zdiff /proc/config.gz
/usr/src/linux/.config.  If this produces _any_ output, you are not
booting from the new kernel.

Once we _know_ whether you are actually booting from the kernel that
you are building or not, we will know how to proceed to fix the
problems you are having.

 2.manually replace /usr/lib/libgcj.la with

no,

very obviously they try to help and YOU fail to give the information.

mount /boot
Make grub.conf point to vmlinuz
like this:

title=2.6
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 gentoo=nodevfs noexec=on 
nmi_watchdog=1

for security reasons, a second entry like this is a smart idea:

title=2.6.old
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/sda3 gentoo=nodevfs noexec=on 
nmi_watchdog=1

because make install copys the bzimage, renames it, adds the version to the 
name, creates a vmlinuz symlink and a vmlinuz.old symlink to the old kernel 
version, that had vmlinuz point to it. And it copys System.map (which is 
important.

make a symlink from /usr/src/yourusedsources (like 2.6.16.14) 
to /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make all modules_install install
umount /boot
reboot.

 If you usually use gnome, then try xscreensaver (with  gnome-2.14) or
 gnome-screensaver (with =gnome-2.14).  gnome-screensaver still needs a

 xscreensaver:
 1. change random screen saver to only one screen saver
 2. choose GLSlideshow, VidWhacker, XTeeVee, Zoom, or any of the other
 image based screensavers (trial and error :)
 3. go to the Advanced tab, and select Choose Random Image
 4. enter the directory to your images.
 
 gnome-screensaver:
 1. Choose pictures folder
 2. make a symlink to your picture folder:
 $ ln -s /path/to/photos ~/Pictures
 
 and you're done!
 
 If you feel game, you can convert some of the xscreensaver hacks
 (/usr/share/xscreensaver/config/) to gnome-screensaver xml files
 (/usr/share/gnome-screensaver/themes/).  Post them back if you do so!

Re: [gentoo-user] QTrouble: static libraries?

Hi Richard,
on Saturday, 2006-05-13 at 10:29:53, you wrote:
 Well the building of static libraries is on a per package basis, so I
 guess your fastest option here is to copy the qt ebuild to your
 overlay directory and modify it to make a static library.  You could
 also file a bug report on bugzilla requesting the change for qt, if
 there isn't already an existing report for this.

OK, I'll try the local ebuild first.

 However, my guess is that you are on the wrong track.  It really
 sounds like the DISPLAY environment variable is not set correctly, or
 possibly the program is modifying it's own environment for some
 reasonmaybe an strace of the program would reveal more.

Well, other X programs work just fine from the same ssh session, so it
can't be the environment. The program doesn't modify anything in it
either, I checked that much. But the strace I hadn't tried yet---here's
the halfway interesting bit:
| access(/usr/lib/qt3//plugins, F_OK)   = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
| access(/root/.qt, F_OK)   = 0
| lstat64(/root/.qt, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
| brk(0x868a000)  = 0x868a000
| access(/etc/X11//qtrc, F_OK)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
| access(/root/.qt/qtrc, F_OK)  = 0
| [trying to read empty qtrc]
| munmap(0x4000, 4096)= 0
| fcntl64(3, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}, 
0xbf9dbe60) = 0
| close(3)= 0
| write(2, usrmgr: cannot connect to X serv..., 35usrmgr: cannot connect to X 
server ) = 35
It doesn't matter if the plugins dir ot /root/.qt/qtrc is there or not.
I can even put the old server's /etc/X11/qtrc in place, no difference.
I'll play with strace some more, looks like the program used some call
that's not traced by default because it's not even trying to read
$DISPLAY; the error seems to be something generic.

cheers!

Just an FYI, you won't see the environment access with strace.  Strace
works on system calls, and since reading or writing the environment
doesn't involve a call to the kernel, you won't see that there.  You
can see the environment that the program is called with if you add the
-v option to strace however.

BUT, you should see at least an attempt to connect() to something.  I
mean, how can it claim that it cannot connect to an X server without
even trying??? :-)  For example, when running xclock locally, I see
these:

socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
...
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=/tmp/.X11-unix/X0}, 19) = 0

When running over an ssh connection, I have:

socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
setsockopt(3, SOL_TCP, TCP_NODELAY, [1], 4) = 0
...
setsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, [1], 4) = 0
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(6010),
sin_addr=inet_addr(127.0.0.1)}, 16) = 0

You should see something similar.

Normally it is for updating an older kernel source tree to the current one.

You probably don't have to mess with that though.  If you have merged
any 2.6.16 sources, gentoo, suspend2, anything...you should have
linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2 in your distfiles directory.  That is the plain
vanilla sources from kernel.org.  The suspend2 and gentoo sources
simply extract the vanilla sources and apply patches.  If you are in
doubt, download the .sign file for 2.6.16, and verify it with the
instructions here:

You have sucessfully build a kernel, you only forgot to set some

There's no easy alternative as long as you don't read the manual of

A patch is usually to fix, else it would be an upgrade. Gentoo sources
are specially patched vanilla-sources, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway,
read the manual, set the bootloader and be happy.

[gentoo-user] 1366x768 HDTV

2006-05-14 Thread James
Hello,

I'm trying to get the SVGA input on a HDTV to work with my gentoo system.
The monitor manual says it works with 1366x768. The video card in the machine 
is:
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] 

Any wikis or docs or example xorg.conf file laying around I can use as a guide?

I'm running KDE (3.4.3) and Xorg-x11 6.8.2-r7

It also has a HDMI interface, so I guess I could get the digital cable 
for the FX-5200 to HDMI and use the digital capabilities, if anyone
thinks this is a better idea?


Any suggestions are appreciated.

  I have a script ~/bin/x like so...

#! /bin/bash
startx -- -nolisten tcp -nosilk -config ${1}xorg.conf 

  The command x translates to the default...
 startx -- -nolisten tcp -nosilk -config xorg.conf 

  The command x 2048 translates to...
 startx -- -nolisten tcp -nosilk -config 2048xorg.conf 

  The command x 800 translates to...
 startx -- -nolisten tcp -nosilk -config 800xorg.conf 

etc, etc.  I used to have several more before I discovered xrandr.  Now
I use xrandr when I want to watch a small-screen streaming video blown
up to near fullscreen.  Lower resolution (via xrandr or modeline) gives
me the benfits of rescaling without killing the cpu.  Think of it as a
backdoor method to hardware rescaling without exotic drivers.

  Is there anything similar to SIGWINCH after xrandr changes screen
size?  My launch panel (pypanel) disappears off the bottom of the screen
when I use xrandr to go from 1280x1024 to 512x384.
