Re: [gentoo-user] [OT Xfce4/KDE] A URL aware applet

Any time you highlighted text that looked like some kind of URL, a dialog window would open and offer to open it with whatever application normally opened such a URL. You might highlight a URL in a man page, text file, or even in the scrollback buffer and the dialog would be right there offering to open it. I wondered if there is anything like that for Xfce and if anyone knows what that applet it?

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Openmoko Freerunner as USB client

Uh, I'm kinda surprised by that. I mean, here in the UK it costs about $15 to add a free unlimited data plan to your standard mobile traiff. And smartphones are really popular in Japan. I don't know what you mean by because Apple isn't paying them off. But I really really wanted a Freerunner. I still dream of getting one and not getting a service plan..just using it as like a PDA with wifi. Any thoughts on this? There are other PDAs with wifi and such (a friend was trying to sell me an old Palm with wifi a few months ago), but I really want it to run Linux. ... But I really want SSH on my phone...grrr. Laziness for the win! Well, this seems kinda contradictory. Either you want just a Linux PDA without phone functionality, or you want ssh on your phone. Seems to me like you do indeed want a single device. SSH on the Freerunner is really pretty nice. I haven't used mine much, but it almost seems like the Freerunner's best or killer feature. The Freerunner has a particularly high-resolution screen, so that you can fit a lot in the terminal, and even tiny fonts display fine. I'm not completely convinced about the on-screen keyboard, but like I say I haven't used it much. Downsides of the Freerunner: - it's a bit large, it was described as a brick by a 20-something female I know. I wouldn't want to have to carry it _and_ a separate PDA. - may need some hardware fixes, which require surface-mount soldering skills. There are people offering these fixes, but it could cost you some $. I'm not sure on the status if you were to buy a new one today. Keywords: buzz-fix, #1024 (the latter is supposed to significantly improve battery life in suspend). - just a lack of slickness, really. I mean, I don't like the iPhone's closed ecosystem, they're apples and oranges, but the iPhone blows the Freerunner out of the water. Have you tried the email setup on an iPhone? It's just slick and it works, you can set it up in 2 minutes, and your new mail is there. End of story. I hate the iPhone Store and this whole thing of $3 apps, but I'll bet you could get a decent SSH app for the iPhone for not much money. Install Pidgin on the Freerunner and it just looks like a typical X-windows application from the Linux desktop; it's not really very inspiring. There was a video on the BBC website the other day which showed the interfaces of the Palm Pre and an Android phone. I think they're both worth considering, particularly Android-based models. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/2009/10/palm_pre_and_o2_a_marriage_of.html From what I'm seeing of the Freerunner's user space applications, it's at least a couple of years behind these, just a lot slower and less responsive. Yet both the Palm Pre and Android phones are based on Linux, so that you may be able to find one that's easily unlocked and which you can install whatever environment you want (e.g. Google's developer edition of the Android G1). You might well stick with the original firmware for the moment, but because these ship with Linux they give a decent opportunity to developers who want to develop a Linux / 3rd-party / X-windows based user space, and that might be really good in a couple of years. I'm probably not the best person to write about mobile phones, because I get really excited about the tech, and then when I get a new mobile phone I tend to find it too fiddly to actually use. Maybe an iPhone would actually be ideal for me. I think there are lots of other alternatives to Openmoko, and most of those you can get from your mobile phone provider for an extra £10 or £15 a month, spread over an 18-month contract so you basically don't notice the cost. If I was in the USA, I think the Kindle looks like a killer device. You can get a refurbished one from Amazon for $175 and the built-in web-browser works with a web-based SSH GUI (see xkcd's kindle 2 blog post). It's been hacked enough to get a shell prompt on it, and that opens the way for a native SSH app and PDF readers c. I think ideally you wouldn't just install a

[gentoo-user] OT? How to capture error messages from glibc
This may be OT, inasmuch as it's not gentoo-specific. It's here because my system runs Gentoo and I don't know where else to ask. If it annoys, just point me in the right direction to where it will not be OT, please. I'm trying to write scripts to help me grade student submissions in a systems programming course. Students are just learning about malloc/free and some are floundering. I'm seeing lots of errors that are caught by glibc (with some help from compiling with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2), but I would like instead to capture those messages in a file. It appears that glibc does not use stdin or stderr for these messages, since I cannot redirect them. I suspect they are being sent to /dev/tty. Is there any wizardry that would allow capture of these messages? I know that somehow the script(1) command captures such stuff, but it's not useable since I want all of this scripted and ironically script(1) does not seem to play nice with scripts. I also know that this is about to tip me into the abyss of session leaders and controlling terminals, but I'll try to be brave. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

[gentoo-user] Remaining inconsistencies after revdep-rebuild -- libgomp.la missing
Hi, When I run revdep-rebuild, I get something like the following: [...] * broken /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.2/modules-Q16/coders/avi.la (requires /usr/lib/libgomp.la) [...] * broken /usr/lib/libfftw3l_threads.la (requires /usr/lib/libgomp.la) [...] which in the end wants to emerge as follows: emerge --oneshot -av media-gfx/imagemagick:0 sci-libs/fftw:3.0 .. These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] media-gfx/imagemagick-6.5.2.9 USE=X bzip2 corefonts jpeg openmp perl png svg tiff xml zlib -djvu -doc -fontconfig -fpx -graphviz -gs -hdri -jbig -jpeg2k -lcms -nocxx -openexr -q32 -q8 -raw -truetype -wmf 0 kB [ebuild R ] sci-libs/fftw-3.2.2 USE=fortran openmp sse sse2 (-altivec) -doc -threads 0 kB Once this merge completes, re-running revdep-rebuild yields the same results. It seems that the culprit is /usr/lib/libgomp.la, which is completely missing from my system. This is some OpenMP library from GNU[1]. I can't find an obvious package in portage which would supply libgomp.la. Both imagemagick and fftw have the openmp use flag turned on. It's not switched on in my /etc/portage/package.use so it must come from the profile or the ebuild or wherever default USE flags come from. The fftw ebuild says openmp support is available with gcc = 4.2, while imagemagick says gcc 4.3 is required and has a reference to bug #223825[2]. I'm using gcc-4.3.4. Is there a package that should be installed which provides libgomp.la? If there is, shouldn't it be a dependency for imagemagick and fftw? And if such a package doesn't exist, what's going on here? How did imagemagick and fftw compile in the first place if libgomp.la is not available on my system at all? Is anyone else seeing this issue? Do I need to file a bug? Thanks, Mike [1] http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libgomp/ [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223825
