With Python running as interpreter, I would get much more capability, but I would need to enter the special line to load the math functions : is it possible to do it with some capitalised variable in .bashrc , which might list parameters telling Python3 what to load when it starts ? one of the 'man' files seems to refer to something like that, but briefly. OK, do I understand correctly, you want an interactive session so you can use temporary variables? I can think of two ways of doing that. From looking at the python man page, I also found a third possibility not involving extra software. 1.) The poor man's version if you want to do this in bash/dash uses command substitution: $ bla=$(python3 test.py 3+3) $ echo $bla $ 6 $ python3 test.py $bla*2 12 2.) The full blown interactive solution: IPython. You can create a session and configure which modules you want preloaded via startup scripts. This is overkill for what you want, I think, but IPython is a much nicer interactive Python interpreter than python itself. For instance, you can reuse previous outputs, e.g. Out[2], to get the output from the third command you entered (indexing starts at 0). Inputs can be similarly recalled by referencing In[i]. 3.) Put the import line in its own file and put it in the variable PYTHONSTARTUP, e.g. export PYTHONSTARTUP=/path/to/my/script.py. Python executes it's contents before presenting the prompt, so you can put whatever imports you want in that script. It's simple, and if the python interpreter is enough for you, then I'd go with this. There are probably more possibilities, but this is what I can think of right now.

I think it must be a class-A amplifier, or whatever the modern equivalent is. I bet it is what we used to call a class AB amp. A class A amp pulls the same amount of power regardless of whether there is any sound but has very little distortion. A class B amp pulls only what is getting pushed to the speakers, less the drivers of course. Class B amps have a lot of distortion at low sound levels, that wasn't to good. So, someone came up with a cross between the two and got rid of the distortion but saved power at the same time. Most sound amps are Class AB but where in that cross depends on the maker. If you are really interested, here is a linky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_amplifier#Class_B_and_AB I have built a few of these things. Getting that cross point can be fun.

Dale wrote: Howdy, Newegg just had a sale on a really nice UPS. I got one. Anyway, it has both serial and USB connections. I have a question about these. I could use either one but not sure if it matters. Does the USB connection offer any additional features over the serial connection? I could use USB but would rather use serial since nothing else I have is serial but I have a bit of USB devices. Also, I never disconnect the serial cable from either the system or the UPS when either is in use. Sort of defeats the purpose I guess. Since it also has screws to make sure the serial cable doesn't come undone, the serial has one advantage. I'm not sure what would happen if it looses the connection all of a sudden. Does it do like NORAD and assume power is out? lol So, since I already have everything set up for serial connections, should I just keep using it or does the USB have more goodies? Thanks.

One output would always be stronger than the other and the woofer would either get a full positive power supply DC voltage or the negative side. Makes for a good thump tho.

The new machine seems to be working properly now, but I've had 5 odd problems along the way, some perhaps bugs : (1) System Rescue has to look for its data file on all the devices, but it hangs up at unformatted drives or swap partitions (bug ?); (2) when you change from an Intel to an AMD CPU, you have to change the xHCI settings in the kernel in order to be able to use a USB mouse/keyboard ; (3) Fluxbox rewrites its 'apps' file at every exit, so to force Gkrellm to appear in a particular workspace you have to point to another file in 'init': Fluxbox is an excellent simple desktop manager, but its session management needs redesign expansion ; (4) the latest Stage3 installs Python 3 as default (in some way), so scripts which worked earlier may need rewriting or you need to make them explicitly use Python 2 ; (5) Fetchmail has an odd, if understandable, requirement for its config file, but doesn't provide adequate warnings when it fails thereby (bug ?).

He said that we, the USA, are sitting on some of the largest oil fields. Here is one article I found but not sure this is the same one the Shell guy was talking about since this article is a few months old. http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/story/2012-05-15/1A-COV-ENERGY-INDEPENDENCE/54977254/1 Quoting from that: It's no pipe dream. The U.S. is already the world's fastest-growing oil and natural gas producer. Counting the output from Canada and Mexico, North America http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/Places,+Geography/Regions/North+America is the new Middle East, Citigroup analysts declare in a recent report. Note it said fastest growing producer. You have to find it and be able to get it up before you can produce it. Yea, one day we will run out but that's a good long ways off. We could get hit by some asteroid or something that just completely destroys the planet and everything on it, including all that oil and gas that people want to save up on. Have you heard about the new wells being drilled in North Dakota by any chance? They are drilling for oil like crazy up there. That is just one that I recall seeing on the news a good bit recently. There are plenty of other finds. Fact is, we are running out. The stuff that is found is either very hard to get - or not very much. Oh, and very little to start with. Consider current consumption. Fact is, the same could be said for the Sun too. Science already says it will run out of fuel one day. Solar doesn't work without sunlight. You can't grow corn or anything to make green fuel either. There is always going to be someone claiming we are running out of something. Then, we find more of it and the process continues. Heck, we can't even run out of the flu bug and everyone wants to run out of that. As for it being hard to get to, with new tools and knowledge that is being used, they can get to places that 20 years ago we could never dream of. Once you get a oil pipe in the ground, that thing can produce for years, even decades. It's not like you have to drill a new one for each week or month. Heck, I have seen people talking on TV about oil wells that were drilled way back in the 40's or 50's that still produce lots of oil. Once you get the pipe there, it's not hard anymore.

I think this has been true for awhile but I only recently ran across it.
You're right, it is installed via the tools USE flag on nvidia-drivers now.
[gentoo-user] jabberd2 + muc
Hi list, I know this isn't really in the remit of the list but I'm hoping there is an expert lurking here somewhere. Does anyone have experience setting up Jabber, especially with mu-conference? I'm trying to set it up for some colleagues but I'm running into a lack of documentation, overly complicated configurations and a seemingly dead project with mu-conference. The packages are still alive and well in portage, yet the site and mailing list haven't been touched for some years. Does anyone know of an alternative text chat system with multi-user room facilities? It needs to be separate from mainstream networks such as MSN etc, have good ACL capabilities and must support SSL. Not really sure what to look at next, and after about 6 hours of fighting with jabberd2 and muc, I'm about ready to give up with it. TIA

Of all the XMPP daemons, ejabberd has the best reputation. jabberd14, according to recent traffic on the -dev list, may be on its way out due to lack of a maintainer, so I wouldn't invest time into setting that up right now. -- :wq

If you use the nvidia-drivers package you should also emerge
nvidia-settings, which has a nice GUI that will let you configure the
multiple screens and decide how you'd like to treat them.
Actually, I believe with the newest nvidia-drivers packages
nvidia-settings is now part of that package so no need to emerge it
specifically anymore.

I still have both installed here. I'll get rid of the settings one and
see what happens. This may explain why I have two entries in the K menu
tho. There may be two versions installed, knowing me, I'm clicking on
the old one. lol

Thanks for the reply, I did try ejabberd very briefly but it failed to start without giving anything useful in the log. And I did follow the setup at the end of the ebuild :) I think it's just getting late so I'll probably try it again after some rest. By the looks of it though, I'd still need a MU implementation, and that doesn't seem easy to find. thanks
[gentoo-user] Libpng warning
Hi. I've been receiving a linpng warnong on my console saying that something like Application build with libpng.1.2.8 running with libpng.1.5.4. Somebody knows how to identify which application is that ?
