Re: [gentoo-user] The current correct way to start kde 4

2009-12-27 Thread Kirill Lipatov
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml  This is the most
appropriate guide. However, I don't see any problem with just simple
universal install:

1) eix kde-meta packages and choose the ones you would like to install and
then simply emerge

# this would pull all of the kde packages
# emerge kde-meta

# if you would like just the basic set of packages
# emerge kdebase-meta

2) in your /etc/conf.d/xdm change the displaymanager option to simply kdm

# nano /etc/conf.d/xdm
...
DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm
...

That'd be it :)

 Hi all,
I've browsed the forums, documentation etc and can find a lot of
 options/opinions but nothing definitive. Can someone please point me at a
 document that outlines the current correct way to start kde 4. I wish to
 have kde as the default login manager for all users of a gentoo box.

Any thoughts, greatly appreciated.

Andrew

well yeah. I just think that setting the kdm as the login manager is the
easiest way to automatically start kde4 session after loging in. However,
kdm is of course not mandatory and it can do more than just start kde4

 xdm set to use kdm to login?  That's what I use here.  You can have
 multiple uses with it too.

 Is that what you are talking about?

You have probably already seen this bug and checked if it matches
your problem:

 Hi list
 when I setup wine for running windows app I used the winetrick. I
 had solved various problems when I setup dotnetfx or another components.

I do have an NVIDIA card. Moreover, I have the very same version of wine on
Ubuntu and all of the games are running with no problem. It is only on
gentoo, where I have this problem.

 There are many, many Windows applications that don't run under Wine.
 Especially games. That's probably one of them.

 Even if they do, they usually run only with certain video cards.
 Usually Nvidia.

[gentoo-user] remote distcc

I was wondering if anybody ever tried using distcc not over a LAN, but over
the internet. Do you think it's possible / efficient / useful ? Might there
be better alternatives?


Re: [gentoo-user] OO thesaurus

2009-11-26 Thread Kirill Lipatov
got the same thing with english spell-checking. Can't get it to work

2009/11/26 Bill Kenworthy bi...@iinet.net.au

 How does the thesaurus work for gentoo's version of (compiled)
 openoffice?  I use en_AU and have no thesaurus, and from what I can find
 out oo3.1 works differently from older versions.

 Ever since gentoo decided to overide the OO supplied dictionaries its
 been very flaky.

 Properly tee'd off,
