[gentoo-user] dual monitors and dual desktops

2012-10-25 Thread Kfir Lavi
Hi,
I have a laptop and an external monitor.
I would like to have both monitors showing different desktops.
My aim is to have IRC and Email client on one side, and my shell and
programming stuff on the other side.
Currently I managed to do a big virtual workspace with XRANDR, but it
stretches the browser and it is hard to setup correctly.
I'm a Fluxbox user, and didn't find a way to define that starching the
window, will not stretch outside of the monitor I'm on.
This is why I would like each monitor have it's own desktop.

Thanks,
Kfir

Thanks for your reply.
This program does just what xrandr does.
I didn't find a way to separate screens. It seems to define by default a
virtual workspace, and let you just put both screens in this virtual
workspace.
The command at the bottom of this mail does just that.

I want that the monitors will not show the same workspace. Both should show
different desktops.
It is like running xorg twice.

 Does this setup really separate the screens to 2 desktops and not one big
 virtual desktop?

My configuration above provides 3 separate X displays and 3 separate
desktops.

The mouse pointer and focus moves among the three screens as you would
expect, but each screen is a a separate X display.  The three DISPLAY
variables end up as :0.0, :0.1, and :0.2. [There's only one X
server running.]

That means you can't drag a window from one screen to another, and a
window can't overlap across two screens.

It also means for a few applications you can only have the app running
on one screen at a time. The vast majority of X apps don't care. But
some, like Firefox (and other web browsers like Chrome and Opera),
have added extra logic to prevent it. You'll have to ask the
developers why, but I think it has something to do with their
unwillingness to deal with file-locking when accessing config files.

In _my_ particular configuration, I also have XFCE configured so that
each of the three screens is configured with a pager that can flip
through four virtual desktops independently of the other two screens.

So I actually have a total of 12 virtual desktops (3 sets of 4).

Hello Petric,

YES there is a wonderful tool to statistically track your network
connections and present substantiating evidence to your carrier
to support your Service Level Agreement. Briefly reading up on 
RFC 2544, it's all about data collection, monitoring and presenting
SLA reports.

First, there is a quick, minimal tool, call bm (bandwidth monitor) for
mere instantaneous (concurrent) viewing. CBM  Color Bandwidth Monitor
is new to the portage tree, so you much sync to install that
version.


The  comprehensive tool is JFFNMS, also in portage, which is
backed nicely by either mysql or postgresql:

Configurable per Circuit SLA’s (with RPN logic)

http://www.jffnms.org/features/

Installation help  http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/jffnms.xml

Hello,

2012/10/25 Joseph syscon...@gmail.com:
 unmerging dhcp was not a good idea.
 I don't think you have very many options but to boot strap gentoo from CD
 and emerge back the net-misc/dhcp

 Do you need both client/server or just client?
 I'm running net-misc/dhcpcd

Really, so never run Vmware or Virtualbox on system, nothing go more.
Thats strange.
I have back installed dhcpcd.

Or just don't update the kernel until it is fixed. After all, if the
kernel you are using works and is not a serious security problem, just
use it for a while.  They will fix it pretty soon I'm sure.

Why don't you want to install VirtualBox from portage.  
I run VirtualBox on one of those tiny boxes with 1Mb or RAM and box takes only 18W of power.

I'm not an ext4 user (it's too new!) and therefore unaffected by any
of this personally. However I do read lkml and have been following the
thread since it started. This bug, if indeed in the end it's even
determined to be a bug, is apparently pretty hard to hit. The downside
is that if you did hit it the effects can be pretty devastating.

I'd suggest folks consider going through the thread and not
overreacting to the masking of new kernels or stuff posted on Phoronix
or slashdot. It's good that the info is out there so people can make
informed decisions, but one of the downsides of having all the info is
the potential for people to overreact. Even with a ;-) dumping ext4
for Reiserfs might be in that camp. :-)

The comment you linked to was fairly bereft of technical content,


That comment was from _Ted_Ts'o_ for pete's sake.


I don't care it was from the heavens upon high. The only remark that was 
meaningful in a technical sense was the thoroughly inconclusive 
Update, suggesting (but not establishing) that it might be related to 
certain combinations of mount options. The rest was just hand-waving 
about how it couldn't be a big deal because, if it was, lots of people 
would have been complaining, which is denying the antecedent.


Let's separate two fundamental issues here. One issue is that of data 
corruption, which is a big deal. I'm sure most of us would agree on that 
point. That such an issue is going to generate news - and no small 
degree of discussion - is a given. People will want to know what the 
problem is and what they can do about it in order to be safe. What did 
Ted expect?


The second issue is that of the scope of the bug. This is where I took 
issue with the comment. The overall meaning of his comment could be 
interpreted as Your collective concerns are overblown because the scope 
of this bug is minimal. Oh, and I think it may have something to do with 
these mount options which, being esoteric, nobody in their right mind 
would be using anyway so, hey, big deal.


The fact of the matter is that the investigation, even as I write this, 
is ongoing and no patch has been produced. Consider that for a moment. 
It doesn't matter how brilliant Ted is, or that you have seen fit to 
sample his mucus. Telling us all that we should be unconcerned because 
the scope is minimal *before* he and his peers have completed their 
investigation and a line been drawn under the affair was simply premature.


That the bug reporter has since demonstrated that the corruption can 
occur in kernel versions that don't include commit eeecef0af5 - kernels 
which we were previously told were not affected - only serves to 
demonstrate this point.

Great tool. Should be added to handbook. :)

I think my work is almost done. The kernel has 2.7MB, and I've removed all
obvious unnecessary choices, just reading the 'help' from 'make
menuconfig'. It was necessary to recompile nvidia-drivers a couple times, I
don't know why, but now everything is working pretty fine.

Hello,

iperf is a good tool, but ...

Fr example the RFC 2544 throughput test does not allow any 
failed/missing/corrupted packed during the testing time.
In this case the data speed is to be reduced and the test to be executed 
again.
Also a throughput test is only one part of the RFC 2544.

Several versions are affected, it's not a new issue, just a newly

by it, considering how many boxes use ext4 with these kernel versions.

You going too fast and in the wrong places :-) 
First you unmerge dhcp 
now, you are delete the kernel! With this paste you will be re-installing Gentoo in no time :-/


Rule #1 If It Aint Broken Don't Fix It. 
Just follow the instruction from: 
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/VirtualBox

and everything will be working just fine.  If you upgrade the kernel yes, you 
need to recompile Virtual box modules.

but I will ratchet up the backup schedule, and anyone thinking of
