There's probably no cost to having the CUPS daemon running 24/7 - it starts up, the o/s sticks it in virtual memory when it sees you're not using it and then reloads it to RAM when you do.

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo from USB stick

Re: [gentoo-user] What is the gimmick to run tightvnc from windows to gentoo
I did this a while back and I got it working by tunnelling via SSH (using putty on windows). But I can't remember the exact details off the top of my head. It may be worth googling that set-up. I seem to remember thinking it felt like a kludge and I can't quite remember why I ended up doing it, but I do remember that it worked.

Re: [gentoo-user] Video DVD Creation
Jorg, Another update. I had made two attempts burning my movie to a no-brand DVD-R. Not wanting to waste another DVD-R I instead used a brand name DVD+RW for another test. It worked, the movie played. When I get the chance I will pick up a brand name DVD-R and try the burn again. Thanks for the help, Sean -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Now i use DVD+R and it works without problems at least at the PC (had no chance to test on standalone players yet). When burning to DVD-R the burn process starts, it burns 1MB or at least the progress shows 1MB then it stucks for a few seconds after that the burn process resumes and the rest is burned normally.

Re: [gentoo-user] xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1 problems
Hi, I think this problem is not *-ati (driver) related. Since the module needed for drm has the same name as the driver has, but resides in another directory. I would suggest you to check whether x11-base/x11-drm or to the kernel module is build for drm. Since I am using the package mentioned above, there is a .ko called /lib/modules/version/x11-drm/radeon.ko. The kernel module for ati drm resides in /lib/modules/version/kernel/drivers/char/radeon.ko. Hope this helps. Regards, acm. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[gentoo-user] Trouble tweaking KDE package six
I've never tried to hack a KDE appliction before, and I'm having a bunch of trouble just finding the right resources to RTF*. The package is six-0.5.3, and I have some tweaks I got from the original author back at release 0.3.3, but I cannot get them into the 0.5.3 source tree properly. It involves a new target in Makefile.am, but if I run a new 'automake' I get a Makefile.in which is _very_ different from the old one, and won't even compile the old target. Most obviously, a bunch of *.moc targets are not generated. The Makefile has some references to 'automoc', but that does not seem to be an executable or package in Gentoo (but if I'm reading it right, it is a package in Ubuntu). I have a book on autotools, but have only used them, not configured them. I have a book on Qt (apropos of moc and automoc), but have never written Qt code. My tweak is for a non-GUI alternative, so I was hoping that the GUI stuff would just keep working and not bother me. KDE itself seems to be largely lacking in programming docs (or I just missed it), although there a a few short tutorials. I'm not looking for answers (my questions may not yet be well-enough formulated for that), but pointers to resources. Of course, if anyone has answers, or can guide me, that would be welcome too. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
