Re: [gentoo-user] knotes: cannot move around notes
I just tried this, same effect here. But you can move windows in XFCE (and many other window managers) by clicking anywhere inside the window, with the Alt key pressed. BTW, the right mouse button resizes windows then. Uh, didn't know this trick. I'll try as soon as I'm back home. Did you try xpad? It's gtk+-based, so there should be no problems with xfce. Seems to be quite lightweight and similar to what you're looking for. No, I didn't know about it. I'll try it too. Thank you! m. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Since knotes and xpad are being kicked around... Does anyone know of a light weight knotes style app that multiple users can access via a single server backend? I'm looking for such a solution.

Traditionally it was fstab that did this, and automounting programs read that file and did nothing if a drive was not listed. These days it's becoming different. Icons that pop up on the desktop are normally mounted via hal. KDE and Gnome at a minimum have applets that control it and where you can make your settings. Other wms may or may not do this for you, and of course on the console you get to use the mount command as always. alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

Yes And then what creates the volume name that is displayed on the desktop for that drive? Gnome VFS (Virtual File System) reads it from various possible places, like the file system label, or the disk drive description, or one of the USB attributes in the case of USB storage devices. What VFS us trying to do is find a sensible descriptor to display to you so you know what device it's talking about In my example I have a USB external drive with a ext3 partition, there is no listing in /etc/fstab for that partition, /etc/mtab lists it as, /dev/sdc2 /media/disk, and on the desktop the icon for it reads, 66.0 GB Volume. Where is that configured? It isn't configured anywhere to my knowledge, but I'm not a Gnome user and could be wrong. Let me explain how this works: The kernel knows about mount points and file systems. Somewhere it has a function that performs a mount, and user space programs use this function to accomplish the mount. One such program is mount, which is configured via /etc/fstab and mtab as you point out. mount is a traditional program, been around for ages and we all know and love it. It's even suid so regular users can use it if root puts user or users in the options for a particular mount. mount is not the only way to mount stuff though. You can write any user space program you want, and call it whatever you feel like, to perform this system function called mounting. And you don't *have* to consider /etc/fstab when doing it either. Now, mount worked fine for years, but it all went belly up when pluggable storage devices came out. A user expects to insert a flash disk or camera and to see the files on it, and to not have to be root to do this. This effectively makes mount unsuitable for pluggable devices. So KDE and Gnome have figured out other ways to mount stuff, and lately the workable solutions have used hal to find devices and dbus to tell apps about the device, all nicely configurable with GUI tools. They don't use fstab either. You can cause interesting effects for yourself if you use an app like supermount from Mandriva and also use KDE automounting. Supermount modifies fstab, so this combination can result in the same device being mounted twice at the same time - entirely possible but seldom what you want :-) I hope this helps, and that I correctly judged what you needed to know. Now it's up to you to find the cute box to click to get the behaviour you want. alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

[gentoo-user] Encrypt USB flash drive
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi. I'm looking for a portable (Linux, *BSD, Mac, Win) way to carry around encrypted files on a USB drive.

I know pretty much how to do encrypted file systems on Linux, but don't know of a way to do it under Windows that would be compatible. Something with AES256 or better would be preferable.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo VMWare image works on Intel but not AMD. Are they not interchangeable?
I have a VMWare Workstation image of Gentoo Linux that I transfer between my desktop and my notebook (for LAMP/Ruby development) and it works fantastic on both. Both are running WindowsXP as the host VMWare. Both are Pentium4. Recently, I tried to share the image with a co-worker and it pukes out about the time it does some udev stuff at the top of starting up. The (rc.init ?) scripts start breaking and spewing lots of errors and ultimately doesn't mount the filesystem properly. We are able to manually mount it later, but then lost of other things are broken. VMware doesn't have any errors we could find, not even in the logs. It seems to be an OS issue. Does the host CPU make a difference? I thought it was all emulated? I tried to recompile the kernel with the generic '386 CPU settings and removed all power mgmt etc, and the same issue happens. Can I not transfer between Intel and AMD CPUs? Is there some magic thing in the kernel I need to set so it can work on both? We attempted several times and tried using VMWare player and also VMWare workstation. It would really suck to have to have him re-compile everything just to get the same dev environment setup as mine. I also posted this on the VMWare forums in case anyone cares: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=71079 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Completely lost regarding wifi
(I had some trouble posting this message the first time, so I apologize if it appears twice) Hi, last fall I spent some of my summer earnings on a ThinkPad X41 tablet, and have been loving it ever since I installed Gentoo on it. There is one thing I have not yet been able to make work, though, and that is wifi. This is probably due to a combination of my own lack of wifi-related experience and the fact that my school (the only practical place I have to use wifi) seems to use a horrendously complicated setup .. I have heard that others with this laptop have managed to make wifi work. I have been trying different things on and off for a few month now, but the fact is that I have very little idea of how to configure wifi, and there seems to be little documentation that I can find which is relevant to this situation. I've decided that there's little left to do except bug all of you with my problem =(. My school has some Windows/Mac setup instructions here (scroll down a bit): http://rorschach.concordia.ca/neg/remote_access/wireless/ They mention Xsupplicant in relation to Linux, but once again I find myself way out of my depth. . . lspci lists my wifi card as: 04:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (rev 05) I am using the ipw2200 module, and the wifi card shows up under iwconfig as eth1. I hope you can help, and please tell me if I should post any other info, Henk Boom -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
