[gentoo-user] Korganizer Connection problem
Anyone have any idea why korganizer/konqueror hangs when I try to connect to a webdav folder, suing either http:// or webdav:// even though firefox has no problem connecting? I'm getting 401 and 405 errors in the server logs (but not as a response in the apps), but neither app is asking me for any user info. and why the hell wouldnt these apps display the htttp response code. any ideas?? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Re: java comm ports issue
I solved the problem by installing the latest stable binaries directly
from rxtx.org. To anyone having trouble with this, I would recommend
you do the same. Maybe someone could update the ebuild to the most
recent version...

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: partition resizing question
Ok so i cant move swap into the 10Gbs i set aside for microstink at the end of the disk, so to move my root linux partition forward, should I be able to tar the entire filesystem from a livecd for example, then delete and recreate the partitions as needed, then untar the tarred filesystem into the new relocated partition? im concerned that some data, configuration etc may depend on or expect to be locate at a certain physical location on disk...

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: partition resizing question
i found an even better solution... credit goes to: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Windows_after_Gentoo#Installing_Windows (gentoo really shines in the support department) turns out that although windows will not create a new partition at the end of the disk, it has no problem installing to an existing partition at the end of the disk. i went in with my live cd, created the partition, and then asked ntldr or w/e to install windows there and it worked just fine. thanks for the helpful comments :) On 5/5/06, Leigh Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok so i cant move swap into the 10Gbs i set aside for microstink at the end of the disk, so to move my root linux partition forward, should I be able to tar the entire filesystem from a livecd for example, then delete and recreate the partitions as needed, then untar the tarred filesystem into the new relocated partition? im concerned that some data, configuration etc may depend on or expect to be locate at a certain physical location on disk...

[gentoo-user] Init Scripts, net, and LinuxAnt DriverLoader
Hi All, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get the Gentoo net init scripts to play nice with the linuxant driverloader ndiswrapper. First, yes I have tried (read: struggled) with ndiswrapper a fair bit with no luck...I can only get my card to connect to an unencrypted channel with ndiswrapper, and am not able to set any parameters, including the encryption key. driverloader works however, for the most part... So anyway here are some specs first: card: Linksys WPC54G v4 driver: wlipnds relevant lspci line: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco Systems [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01) driverloader version: 2.33 now my problem is that when I try to start the interface created by the installed driverloader module using /etc/init.d/eth1... , it fails miserably. by fails miserably i mean it is unable to connect to my
[gentoo-user] Re: Init Scripts, net, and LinuxAnt DriverLoader
sorry, i accidentally sent that prematurely. as i was saying, the init scripts fail to set the encryption key and connect to my network. using iwconfig otoh i am able to set the essid, enc key and etc and connect to the AP of choice. worse, after running the init script the card becomes completely unable to connect--using iwconfig methods after using the init scripts has no effect, and even unloading the module , reloading it, and retsarting the driverloader init scripts does not remedy the situation. my question is can anyone tell me what the init scripts are doing in addition to what i would like them to do (execute the commands in /etc/conf.d/wireless) that may be clobbering my driver/card? any idea why the same commands work just fine usinmg iwconfig?? thanks in advance On 4/30/06, Leigh Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get the Gentoo net init scripts to play nice with the linuxant driverloader ndiswrapper.
