Hi,
I don't have a single book on Linux. (Amazing...) Can someone
recommend a simple book on command line stuff, or better yet a good
web site on this topic?
Sorry, I picked up most of it from fiddling around, but on to your
problem...
For instance, I wanted to run a specific command on every file in a
directory which will create a new file, so I need to do
commandfile1.wavfile1-convert.wav
I need to take each name, create a new name to build the actual
command that gets run and then do that for every file in the
directory, or even in a hierarchy of directories.
# for file in `ls *.wav`
do
newname=`echo ${file} | sed -e s/\.wav$/-convert.wav/`
command -i ${file} -o ${newname}
done
chug...chug...chug
and it's done. But this will only work on files in one subdirectory.
For recursive operations, replace the first line with this:
# for file in `find . -type f -iname *.wav -print`
hth,
jason.

The xorg.conf hasn't been changed.
Finally, I had to remove the glx module from xorg.conf to have it

I tried re-emerging nvidia-{kernel,glx}, and also opengl-update
nvidia, to no avail.
Also, after this, I updated the drivers to the latest version (I was
locked in 7167-r1, now I'm at 7174).
I'm running gentoo on an athlon64.
Anyone knows what make it fail? I looked into emerge.log, and only
packages I saw that could generate weird things was baselayout and
glibc.
Some packages use static library paths to libGL, libXm, etc. Try
re-merging your screensaver app to pick up the new path. X.org recently

Although, for completeness, you should take a look at how to use PORTDIR_OVERLAY (in /etc/make.conf). This way, changes you make to ebuilds will survive 'emerge sync'. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_Updated_Ebuild hth, Cooper. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] 2.6 kernel and wlan-ng
Chris Bare ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) scribbled: I recently upgraded my laptop to the 2.6.11 kernel and am trying to get my wifi working again. It worked under 2.4 with the linux-wlan-ng package. I followed the instructions in the bug and built it for 2.6 by turning off the sandbox.

Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge needs a --nocolor option
A. Khattri ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) scribbled: There really ought to be a --nocolor option for emerge, alongside the --nospinner option. (I know I could add it to FEATURES in make.conf but I dont want to do that). I run emerge --sync from cron on my servers - the email from cron contains a lot of control codes. I'll bet I wasn't the only one who went running to 'man emerge' and 'emerge --help'. :) damn, I coulda sworn at one time there was a --nocolor option. Am I the only one who remembers this? Don't have time to look into this, but here's a good starting point: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # grep -ni color `which emerge` 76:if (not sys.stdout.isatty()) or (portage.settings[NOCOLOR] in [yes,true]): 77: nocolor() 559:emergehelp.help(myaction,myopts,havecolor) hth, Cooper. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
