Re: [gentoo-user] why is it using OpenDNS?
Try appending this into your /etc/conf.d/net dns_servers_wlan0=208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 with or without quotes and brackets I am not really sure. dns_servers_wlan0=( 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 ) Hope this helps! Thanks, but I'm actually trying to figure out why the system is using OpenDNS. I don't see any OpenDNS settings anywhere and yet resolv.conf has OpenDNS IPs even after a reboot. Shouldn't the 192.168.0.2 system have 192.168.0.1 in resolv.conf after DHCP? If there is no setting in /etc/conf.d/net that sets the nameservers (like dns_servers_wlan0=...) or if you don't use dhcp, the file /etc/resolv.conf won't be touched. You can try it, edit /etc/resolv.conf by hand, reboot. Then you will see that your changes are still there. If you set an nameserver in /etc/conf.d/net - then resolv.conf will be overwritten when /etc/init.d/net.* gets started. Perfect, thank you. I didn't realize /etc/resolv.conf isn't overwritten if DHCP isn't used. - Grant

I keep waiting on one of the boy geniuses on the list to save our seamonkey running flash. But, as the list knows, I'm old and jaded and do not have much faith in the future of Flash, from a linux perspective. But, I think it's a game of chicken as Adobe would be foolish to loose this market; so I'm hoping that Adobe blinks and decides to support a future for Flash that works with the open source community's requirements. I would not wager on what is to be. BTW, I have a regular desktop. My cell phone is still pretty stupid but it does handle text. Nothing else but text so I'm not that far behind, yet. Oh, phone calls too. lol Any other ideas? There should be ARM-A15 embedded boards that are cheap and abound. Just put one on your net (less than 5 watts and less than $200 USD). and you can run X on the A15 and display the (flash)application onto your old Amd or intel desktop. I do a lot of work with embedded processors, and *Everybody but Intel* sees the A15 as the future, even AMD is getting new religion... Ubuntu has installation media for the ARM-A9 family now and they are making a major push for the A15, currently. One way or another, the 'flash cat' will get skinned.

It appears it got changed when I did my upgrade. At least it doesn't crash now. It was enabled tho so I fixed that. New problem tho. I have Seamonkey's web browser on desktop 1. The email is on desktop 2. My local radar from NOAA uses flash. When I load it, I can see the image from flash on both desktop 1 and 2. Everything else is updated except the flash part. If I switch a couple times, it gets really weird looking. Looks like someone slipped LSD in my drink or something. Just weird colors and such. What's up with that? I'm going to try rebuilding a couple things to make sure everything is in sync. Maybe that will fix it. While I am at it. Is HTML5 going to replace flash? I don't mean in the next week but over a period of time. While researching this, I ran across posts that suggest HTML5 will render flash outdated. Just curious.

Re: [gentoo-user] merging or fitting images together

I have taken as many as 30 pictures and stitched them together. I had three rows of 10. It was of a park and it looked great when done. It took a couple tries to get it just right but it did a good job and that was a good size project. Doing 4 or 5 pictures is pretty easy. Lots of overlap is the key tho. 120510 Alex Shuster wrote : I'd use ImageMagick's montage command. You have to find out how exactly to do this, but once you know this, you can automate this and process them all at once in a loop. See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ and esp http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/montage/ Thanks to both ! -- Imagemagick looks as if it's very technical I'm not sure how it would handle matching overlapping photos. That is what Corbet described doing Dale seems to have done, so I'll emerge Hugin see what it can do. As I now notice, the negatives I want to use right now are not split, but there are many others which are, so this wb useful eventually. The biggest things about hugin, 1) learning to use the thing 2) patience. The more control points you get, the better it will turn out. Whatever you do, don't leave a control point that is not matched up. Talk about a weird picture. lol It only takes one too. First thing, load your pics. I usually load them in the sequence they need to be matched up with. When you have one image on the left, a different but connectible image on the right, do one control point manually. After the first one, you can pick a point on one image and it will find it on the other automagically. If it gives a error, add the point then delete it. That's where the weird pictures can come in. This varies but I try to get at least 10 or 12 points. That is a minimum. If you have the patience and really want a good picture, get 30 points or more. I would suggest reading a howto with screen shots. If you need help, let me know. It's been a while but I will try. Oh, hugin can be complicated to. It has a lot of settings and options.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: make of gentoo-sources-3.2.12 fails
Yes, all of those. Other ebuilds run without troubles. That's what makes this failed kernel build all the more mysterious. I've run out of options. Maybe a new kernel release will help, but I need my box and the tweaks to .config, and I don't want to wait, especially as I fear things might not go better even then. regards michael -- Michael Scherer Univ.klinik f.

Have you run revdep-rebuild lately? What about etc-update or something equivalent to it? Very unlikely suspects but very easy to rule out: Correct /usr/src/linux symlink? Recent fsck? Hm, what else?
Re: [gentoo-user] I want to play movies without hangs [SOLVED, sort of]
Finally, I found something. It's Dolphin! I've done some longer testing, always playing the same video parallel with a dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/10G bs=1M count=1, in mplayer, for a minute, several times. When I do this by opening the file in Dolphin, I get about 15 interruptions, some for longer than a second. Started on the command line, there are very few, I can play the video for minutes without a gap. Hooray! In KDE, I usually play videos by opening them in Dolphin. I exchanged 'mplayer %U' by 'xterm -T MPLAYER -e mplayer %U' in the settings, now mplayer runs in a terminal, and all is fine. I created a window rule so the terminal automatically minimizes. Cool! It only happens in mplayer and mplayer2. Other players work fine, but I like mplayer best, and prefer to run it without any window decoration. Now, would this be an MPlayer problem, or one of Dolphin? Wonko
