[gentoo-user] X was crash at login window (gdm)

[gentoo-user] dual monitors and dual desktops
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 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.

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). -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards at gmail.com

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.

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. --Kerin
Re: [gentoo-user] genkernel 2 manual
Damn, totaly forgot what I would write :) You may also have a loog at # make localmodconfig 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. Thank you all, -- João de Matos Linux User #461527
Re: [gentoo-user] Network perf tool
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. regards Petric Am Donnerstag, 25.
