[gentoo-user] pgadmin3 doesn't work
Hi, both verions in portage of dev-db/pgadmin3 1.2.2 and 1.4.3 don't even compile if I'm using the latest stable of x11-libs/wxGTK which is version 2.6.2-r1. Now I have updated x11-libs/wxGTK to version 2.6.3.3 and dev-db/pgadmin3-1.4.3 compiles succesfully.

I found automount worked on this USB enclose when installed on FC5_64 on this PC (on another HD) and also on FC5_32 on another PC, both with icons displayed on gnome desktop. Of course! well spotted Andrew! you need to start gvm - run `gnome-volume-manager ` from a terminal, then logout and back in again, and see if it works. Yes, it worked, no icons on gnome desktop. $ ls -al /media/disk $ ls -al /media/disk-l showed 2 partitions of the USB enclosure.

How can I set that up in a script and execute just the script?

vobcopy -m || exit

Thanks for the script. I set it up to temporarily use my dd images as
the source, and it looks like the iso comes out about 13MB smaller
than the dd image. Does that make sense?
Also, mkisofs didn't like -o ${TITLE}.iso and errored with something like:
'.iso' is an invalid atom
Does ${TITLE}.iso need quotes?

I am familiar with and have no problem using the particular setup you mention; however, it will not work for what I want to accomplish. I want to tunnel vnc traffic over ssh to my router, then forward that vnc traffic to the actual vnc server. I think the problem lies somewhere in my iptables rules. I did have: /sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP --dport 5901 -i ${WAN} -j DNAT --to
192.168.0.235:5901 , which will forward it correctly if I connect through 5901, but tunneling via SSH doesn't work. Again, I want to tunnel the vnc connection to the router, which will then forward the port 5901 traffic to the vnc server.

If I kill xcompmgr the CPU usage instantly comes down to almost zero. Restarting composite makes the CPU usage rise again to something like 10-20% (it depends), quite high but bearable.

Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg 7.0+composite+radeon OSS drivers+radeon9200se : X cpu usage sometimes rockets to 80%
If you *really* want eye candy, try using beryl and emerald from the portage-xgl layman overlay. ;-) Yes, I investigated it. But it seems my card is not so well supported by XGL (If you have different experiences let me know) and XGL eye candy is (still) not what I was looking for, at least as for what I've seen (I'd never use wobbly windows and rotating cubes, sorry). The little, subtle effects of composite are enough. The only defect I can complain -but I suspect it would require a rewriting/rethinking of X apps- is that transparency is applied to a whole window. This has the side effect of lowering the contrast of what's inside the application. In many contexts (not always) - it would be very nice to have a transparent *background* of the current window, but opaque (and therefore fully contrasted) foreground. Think of a terminal, or a text editor, but not only. Is there some project aiming to this? I am pretty sure though that xcompmgr and friends (kcompmgr) are dead. Bugs I've reported against KDE 3.5's compositing issues have been closed with WONTFIX and comments that indicate this. That's interesting. Can you point me to a link? The current way things are going is to use compositing window managers such as compiz, beryl, metacity, whatever xfce4's wm is named, etc. I would not like to be forced to change WM.

Thanks for the script. I set it up to temporarily use my dd images as

I guess that could be down to the encryption overhead.
Also, mkisofs didn't like -o ${TITLE}.iso and errored with something
like:
'.iso' is an invalid atom
Does ${TITLE}.iso need quotes?
It shouldn't, because disc names shouldn't include spaces, but it's
probably safest to add them, because shouldn't rarely equals doesn't. The
error looks like it could be caused by a space at the end of the movie

Tony -- Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Simple and short answer is that at run-time the binary and libraries are loaded into memory and run from there. When you do the update it replaces the binary and/or libraries on disk, but you won't actually be running those updates until you restart the process. There may be other, more dynamic, cases that I am aware of, but that is the general gist of it. Troy -- Beware of spyware.

[gentoo-user] Package dependencies
I have seen it mentioned here several times that equery depends ... is broken. Is there a good way to determine package dependency?

Re: [gentoo-user] Configuring UPS for Gentoo
/ I'm having a 2.2KV APC UPS, and i'm connecting my Gentoo email server on it, so what is the proper way to configure my server to auto shutdown, when the Main power off. emerge apcupsd It works beautifully. :-) Communication between server and UPS works with serial and USB. I purchased the additional SNMP card with mine and it works also. To have a stable system, you will need to: 1) alter your bios so that your server will automatically start up on power restore. 2) Adjust apcupsd.conf to match your server(s) power down requirements. 3) Follow the apcupsd power failure test procedure to insure your server issues a UPS power down w/delay command during server halt to protect against intermittent power failures.
