[gentoo-user] OT: terminal with horizontal scrollbar
Hi, does anyone of you know about an X-terminal with an horizontal scrollbar? I use to set linewidth in ORACLE's SQL*Plus to something like 1000 or 2000. If I run a select in SQL most of the columns will be lost beyond the right border of the terminal. Well, I could use a ''text'' widget of Tcl/TK and write something like wsqlplus but I hope there is something ready to use for Linux too. Thanks in advance Frank -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Now to clear up a few loose ends: Why on the fresh(2.6.15) install does net.eth0 start automatically and the older(2.6.12) have to be started manually? Is this a bug or a feature?

[0-9][0-9] will do file name globbing, it seems. Do:
touch 00 99
It works for globbing as wild cards, but won't work for what he wants

If you want to expand everything from 00 to 99, you want brace

So, what you wanted would be
for AA in {0..9}{0..9}; do echo $AA; done
What you had (for AA in [0-9][0-9]) would be interpreted by bash as:
for AA in {filename that matches the glob [0-9][0-9]}
which, if you don't have any files named like that, will be
for AA in {null string}
and hence the behaviour you saw.

Re: [gentoo-user] USB issue
Hmmm ... ``man'' thet's what? Can you explain it a bit? ;) I've tried some help pages to get my custom settings working. Well, upgrade means your customizings go to hell. We're o Linux or on Windows? Well, we're on Linux. Windows don't know customizings at all. ;) Maybe I'll start over from scratch over weekend. ... but it's annoying. Best Gentoo rule: NEVER DO ``EMERGE -U WORLD!!'' ? Don't get me wrong but it's a thing happening VERY often. The last upgrade cut me off from the net. I had to ``ifconfig'' ``route'' manually. Thanks god, that the upgrade the day after fixed this. This way we'll never become an accepted (and supported) distro.

[gentoo-user] ALSA issue
Hi, I'm back again and immediately have some issues. ALSA stopped working after some emerge -u world. Maybe something has changed with ALSA. While booting I get: Loading ALSA modules ... Loading snd-seq-oss ... [OK] Loading snd-pcm-oss ... [OK] Restoring mixer levels ... /usr/sbin/alsactl: load state:1250: Cannot find soundcard '0' ... Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring ... /usr/sbin/alsactl: load state:1250: Cannot find soundcard '1' ... Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring ... Sound was working - at least mpeg files were with sound. This started with an update world somewhen during november last year. I don't use sound so much but I've started to use ICQ so having it back on Gentoo too mwould be nice. Thanks in advance Frank -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

There have been a _lot_ of changes in udev, and most likely your
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules needs some work. The most
significant is that for vendor/product/etc matches, you now need ==
instead of just =. Also, all rules are matched, unless you use the
last_rule option, although you can use the := syntax for some things
to prevent later rules from overriding your settings.
Here are my key rules:
# usb disk keys
BUS==usb, KERNEL==sd[a-z][0-9], SYSFS{product}==Flash Disk,
NAME=%k, SYMLINK=usbkey%n
BUS==usb, SUBSYSTEM==block, SYSFS{product}==Flash Disk,
KERNEL==sd[a-z], NAME=%k, SYMLINK=usbkey
-Richard
Hmmm, I'll try to remove my custom settings. But just now, at least
the /dev/sd[a-z][0-9] should come up, shouldn't it?
