[gentoo-user] [OT] Screen sharing software or similar
Hi all! I'm looking for a solution to the following problem. My relatives live 200 km away. They have a daughter, and I need to help her out with school homework etc. At the moment we cannot do it on a regular basis, because doing it over the phone is really difficult and time consuming. I thought some screen sharing software would solve this. A video conferencing or a VoIP feature would be a nice bonus, too. For easy writing I would probably buy graphics tablets since writing math formulas or drawing isn't particularly fast or easy with keyboard and mouse. So, is there some easy-to-use Linux program? I have Linux desktops on both ends (Ubuntu and Gentoo), so portability or OS-independence is not a requirement. Do you have any other ideas? For the record, we have a 2 Mbit DSL line on one end and a 6 Mbit on the other. Those are, of course, downstream bandwidth rates.

no
usually the kernel chooses the right mode. If this one is lower than expected,
you shouldn't mess with it. Either grep for your drive or controller in the
kernel sources - it might be blacklisted - or get a different cable.
Never set udma modes.

Some jabber client for text conversations would be fine. Also works for formulas, if you know some LaTeX... And then VNC (epecially TightVNC) to share your drawings on the tablet. For ultimate performance, you could install NX, which makes X forwarding amazingly fast. One party connects to the remote NX server and opens a KDE 3.5 session, which will work nearly as fast if it were opened locally. And the other connects via VNC to that KDE session, which is also very fast then because it runs locally, not over DSL. I do not know if other window managers than KDE 3.5 have the VNC sharing feature, I have not found it in KDE4. You might need some port forwarding if you both are NATed behind a router. Wonko

[gentoo-user] strange one with gentoo guest in vmware
I'm trying to get a gentoo guest running in vmware app on windowsxp. I just installed a prebuilt appliance (gentoo 2008) and am now updating it. I got the kernel rebuilt and updated to 2.6.32-r5 and rebooted into that. I now have all uppercase at the cmdline. The actual keyboard is not in uppercase mode... and oddly the gentoo install apparently is not seeing uppercase at the cmdline since cmds that are supposed to be in lower case all work. typing what I see as `LS' at the command line does what `ls' is supposed to do and lists the directory, so gentoo is seeing lowercase where I see uppercase. Anyone have a clue what this might be about? I typed dmesg thinking to maybe append it here. I saw `DMESG', when the printout flashed by it was all uppercas then the OS froze... Will now have to hard reboot it to see if I can see whats going on. Prior to booting the new kernel it ran on 2.6.24-r8 and seemed to run normally.

Or does it generate the php versions but leave the originals out of what is viewed? It's your choice, you can allow specified resolution or full size too. I only allow full size to logged in users, to stop web spiders eating up all my bandwidth by crawling over the original image links.

Harry Putnam rea...@newsguy.com writes: I'm trying to get a gentoo guest running in vmware app on windowsxp. I just installed a prebuilt appliance (gentoo 2008) and am now updating it. I got the kernel rebuilt and updated to 2.6.32-r5 and rebooted into that. I now have all uppercase at the cmdline. The actual keyboard is not in uppercase mode... and oddly the gentoo install apparently is not seeing uppercase at the cmdline since cmds that are supposed to be in lower case all work. [...] Never mind... I've trashed that bagvapp gentoo appliance and built my vmware gentoo guest from livecd. I tried the (now aged) bagvapp vmware gentoo appliance because I've had big troubles in the past getting a kernel to boot inside vmware. I thought it might be easier to update the bagvapp appliance. This time, after piddling with the latest kernel, I got it to boot right on the first try (chest swelling to new dimensions) But that Uppercase thing was a corker...

[gentoo-user] Sansa Clip+
Hello All, My son just purchased a Sansa Clip+ and from what I read it is supposed to be accessible in Linux, it would look like a USB drive for drag and drop. Anyway, I updated the firmware to the latest, and set the USB mode on the Clip+ to MSC. I am wondering if I need to setup support in the kernel, or something else? Any tips anyone? Thanks Sean

[gentoo-user] zsh and sudo
Hello, I just installed zsh recently and was working on making the switch over from bash for my daily user, provided I can get a few things worked out. The biggest problem that I can't find useful results googling is zsh interaction with sudo. I'm noticing some strange behavior with the PATH and also the interpretation of '='. d...@flux log % sudo which useradd which: no useradd in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.4.3:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/jre/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/jre/javaws:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin) d...@flux log % sudo echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.4.3:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/jre/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/jre/javaws:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin:/home/daid/scripts:/sbin:/home/daid/.gentoo/java-config-2/current-user-vm/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/warlock2:/usr/local/sbin:/home/daid/physics/transport_for_crib/transport1.6/bin d...@flux log % which useradd /usr/sbin/useradd So sudo has the PATH set correctly, but it doesn't actually use the correct path. Fishy! It gets more confusing. Any new zsh opened within a first instance of zsh things work as expected: d...@flux log % zsh d...@flux log % sudo which useradd /usr/sbin/useradd This happens in X and at console login. One can assume that either ghosts are haunting my machine, there was a solar flare flipping bits on my hdd, or I've done something silly. If I make root set my user's path, then sudo is fine. So basically the problem is that it's defaulting to checking root's path and not the user path, which is not the documented behavior on Gentoo (nor consistent with sudo in other shells. As for interpretation of '=' I really don't understand what's happening. It seems indiscriminate of the case in terms of mucking about, but the exact result it not always the same. Consider the monstrous output in the following simple case of making a new environment variable: d...@flux log % sudo TEST=testing LESSOPEN=|lesspipe.sh %s XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/kde/3.5/share:/usr/share:/usr/share GLADE_CATALOG_PATH=: GTK_PATH=:/usr/lib/gtk-2.0 PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.4.3:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/jre/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/jre/javaws:/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin GDK_USE_XFT=1 SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-mCuWxp2532/agent.2532 USER=root QTDIR=/usr/qt/3 PRELINK_PATH_MASK=/usr/lib/klibc SHELL=/bin/zsh DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-HBS914aGoB,guid=109c64af5b65dda3804f8d4d4b7de295 LESS=-R -M --shift 5 JAVACC_HOME=/usr/share/javacc/ GCC_SPECS= CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/etc/gentoo-release /etc/sandbox.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash LIBGLADE_MODULE_PATH=:/usr/lib/libglade/2.0 OPENGL_PROFILE=xorg-x11 GENERATION=2 MAIL=/var/mail/daid JAVAC=/home/daid/.gentoo/java-config-2/current-user-vm/bin/javac ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant XAUTHORITY=/home/daid/.Xauthority PAGER=/usr/bin/less SHLVL=2 _=/usr/bin/sudo QMAKESPEC=linux-g++ WINDOWID=25165872 GLADE_MODULE_PATH=: TERM=xterm PWD=/home/daid/log COLORTERM=Terminal CONFIG_PROTECT=/usr/share/X11/xkb /var/lib/hsqldb /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config CVS_RSH=ssh GLADE_PIXMAP_PATH=: JDK_HOME=/home/daid/.gentoo/java-config-2/current-user-vm VMHANDLE=sun-jdk-1.4 INFOPATH=/usr/share/info:/usr/share/binutils-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.20/info:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/info SESSION_MANAGER=local/flux:@/tmp/.ICE-unix/2541,unix/flux:/tmp/.ICE-unix/2541 DISPLAY=:0.0 LOGNAME=root JAVA_HOME=/home/daid/.gentoo/java-config-2/current-user-vm SSH_AGENT_PID=2533 MANPATH=/home/daid/.gentoo/java-config-2/current-user-vm/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/share/binutils-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.20/man:/usr/share/gcc-data/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/man:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.17/man:/etc/java-config/system-vm/man/:/usr/kde/3.5/share/man:/usr/qt/3/doc/man XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/sgml/sgml-ent.cat:/etc/sgml/openjade-1.3.2.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-3.1.cat:/etc/sgml/dsssl-docbook-stylesheets.cat:/etc/sgml/sgml-lite.cat:/etc/sgml/xml-docbook-4.4.cat:/etc/sgml/xml-docbook-4.1.2.cat HOME=/home/daid EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi OLDPWD=/home/daid/log MOCADI_DIR=/home/daid/physics/rib_model/mocadi MOCADI_DATA=/home/daid/physics/rib_model/mocadi/data MOCADI_SPLINES_GZ=/home/daid/physics/rib_model/mocadi/splines_gz ROOTSYS=/usr ROOT_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/root MYSQL=/usr/include/mysql:/usr/lib/mysql MYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306 JAVADIR=/usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.6 USERNAME=root SUDO_COMMAND=/bin/env

[gentoo-user] Can't see /dev/hda1,2,3 but I know they exist...
I performed a bit of an update on my laptop a day or two ago, and after reboot, I lost the ability to do anything with /dev/hda*. I currently have 0 swap space, and according to stat, ls etc, they don't exist. But, booting to an install CD I burned for diagnostic purposes, it sees them just fine. Also, and this is the strange part. It boots no problem, so the OS is able to mount at least /dev/hda3, even though from the command line I'm not seeing it. I'm probably missing something completely dead obvious (it's after midnight here and all), and Google's turning up nothing, so if someone could kindly slap me in the face with it, that'd be appreciated.

I had a similar strange problem where I needed symlinks for hd devices to sd devices or vice versa with an older kernel and newer hardware (and I think some BIOS tweaks).
