Re: [gentoo-user] Can Neon be slotted?
What versions of these are you trying to run? davfs2-1.1.3-r1 and subversion-1.4.2 both depend on just net-misc/neon, without any version deps, so I presume they both work with the current neon-0.26.1-r1. Actually, svn does not depend on neon, only if you use WebDAV, and then it's a svn bug. Reason: neon is meant to be included with packages using it. This is clearly stated in the manual. So, correctly, you would file bugs with both davfs2 and svn. ralf -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] another strange alsa problem
I'm using alsa for years now and it has always been fine; especially it has always been possible without any problems to have multiple apps running that access the sound card. For example i could start audacious to play some music and to totem and watch a movie _with_ sound; or play some music and start a game etc. Yesterday, i noticed, that this is no longer possible: For example, if i try to play a mp3 in gmplayer while running audacious i get: alsa-init: using device default alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:914:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave alsa-init: playback open error: Invalid argument Could not open/initialize audio device - no sound. Now the funny thing is, that the same works as root; so i guess that some permissions are not set correctly (note that my everyday user is in the audio group) and perhaps, but this is only one possible explanation, this is because i've upgraded to sys-fs/udev-103 recently ... any ideas ? btw, this is my sound-card: Creative Labs SB Live!

[gentoo-user] Help with joliet fs
Hi All, (I'm starting a new thread with this problem, because it isn't directly relevant to my previous thread on transcoding). I am trying to burn a DVD with a large avi file (c. 3G) using K3B. K3B has a number of options on the Burn settings, under Advanced ISO9960 Filesystem. By default K3B only shows 'Allow 31 character filenames' and further below 'ISO Level 2'. I want to be able to read filenames which have spaces, underscores, lower case letters, etc. and long names/titles, so I ticked 'Allow 103 character Joliet filenames' and 'Allow untranslated ISO9960 filenames' - hoping that this will do the trick. I left the default 'ISO Level 2' ticked. What happened is that the DVD was burned successfully, but I cannot mount it using my Gentoo. It mounts and plays fine with WinXP, but with Gentoo returns this error: $ mount /dev/hdc mount: No medium found It makes no difference if I try it as root and if I specify UDF, iso, auto as the fs type. dmesg shows this: ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3 ISOFS: changing to secondary root My /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd auto,iso9660,udf noauto,ro,user,exec 0 0 Could you please tell me what sort of Joliet fs options I need to select so as to be able to mount the burned fs, or what do I need to configure in my system to enable me to achieve this?

This show the disadvantage of aggressively cleaning $DISTDIR. You have already downloaded this file once, when you installed 2.6.17-r1 (or even earlier when you first installed a 2.6.17 kernel). Patch level updates use the same source files, so cleaning out tarballs for installed packages results in more downloads and more load on the mirrors. Thanks for pointing this out.

I will probably try it soon anyway but just wondering if anyone else out there has more experience. I have done this, but end up rebooting the vmware session every time I try, because I move around to different networks and the networking between linux and XP gets confused. So generally I'd recommend suspending the virtual machine with vmware's suspend function first, and then hibernate. You are right, it kills the vmware machine on hibernate. I just tried it. Oh well, at least it doesn't freeze. I'll try that vmware suspend function. vmware uses Alsa, no? I see no way you can keep sound apps running if you have to unload the alsa module before hibernating. Regards, T. hmm, maybe that is it. I'll try not unloading the alsa drivers and see if it still crashes. Do most sound drivers resume just fine? I think with mine the sound will still work on a resume and will only NOT work if I was playing music while I hibernated. So I just set it to unload them every time to be safe. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The built-in screen saver displays a large X pattern, unless Xorg determines that the hardware is capable of blanking the screen, in which case it will prefer to do that instead.
