Re: [gentoo-user] boot stalls at 'mounting local file systems'
Hi, thanks for response. I dont have anything related to ldap. But booting
older kernel did the trick.
Martins
If you are using ldap, it can cause long delays for things that occur
before networking is active when something tries to lookup a user from
the ldap server, but times out.
So far I've heard of this affecting bootmisc, udev, and now
localmount. There are some workarounds listed in this bug:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99564
Basically, downgrading the version of ldap or or changing the ldap
configuration seems to fix it for most people.
In your case, it is probably this part of localmount that is causing
the problem:
if [[ -n ${usbfs} ]] \
[[ -e /proc/bus/usb ! -e /proc/bus/usb/devices ]]
then
ebegin Mounting USB device filesystem (${usbfs})
usbgid=$(echo $(getent group usb) | awk -F: '{print $3}')
mount -t ${usbfs} usbfs /proc/bus/usb \
${usbgid:+-o devmode=0664,devgid=${usbgid}}
eend $? Failed to mount USB device filesystem
fi
This tries to do a lookup of the 'usb' group.
If it does indeed turn out to be an ldap issue, add a comment to the
linked bug or at least let me know and I'll do it.

[gentoo-user] how to check dependencies for sloted apps?
hi, I decided to clean my Gentoo install and I started with 'emerge --prune --pretend' what gave me some list of apps. Then I did equery depends pkgname for each package, but problem is with sloted ones such as gtkhtml, autoconf, db and a lot from Gnome tree. How to specify (syntax) package version to search for with 'equery depends' if this is suported? qdepends gives me this output, I cant understand is this broken or both versions are needed by php, xorg and kmail? mar martins # qdepends -Q gtkhtml-1.1.10-r1 depends: i'm such a fatty, could not eat_file(/var/db/pkg/dev-lang/php-5.1.4/DEPEND) depends: i'm such a fatty, could not eat_file(/var/db/pkg/x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1/DEPEND) depends: i'm such a fatty, could not eat_file(/var/db/pkg/kde-base/kmail-3.5.2-r3/DEPEND) mar martins # qdepends -Q gtkhtml-3.10.1 depends: i'm such a fatty, could not eat_file(/var/db/pkg/dev-lang/php-5.1.4/DEPEND) depends: i'm such a fatty, could not eat_file(/var/db/pkg/x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1/DEPEND) depends: i'm such a fatty, could not eat_file(/var/db/pkg/kde-base/kmail-3.5.2-r3/DEPEND) I'll be glad to see your input.

[gentoo-user] remote access to emails
Hi, Can you hint me on this? I have setup reading emails following way - fetchmail gathers emails from 3 servers to ~/.maildir then using Kmail i read them and all messages are stored under ~/Mail in maildir format. All I want is remote acces to messages in ~/.maildir and ~/Mail . I was trying VNCclient but due to slow network it isnt acceptible. Now I'm trying to setup etpan but I got segmentation fault when trying to add storage in ~/Mail tree. So, I would like to know what console mail reader will work for this kind of setup?

The difference is that *.pps have an interpreter linked into the document so you can run it under Windows without having Powerpoint. *.ppt do not cause any problems but *.pps do. If you do a file something.pps it reports it as Microsoft Office Document without qualifying what kind of document. As long as you have set all your file associations of Microsoft documents to OpenOffice, it will work for you because OO still is a monolithic application that handles all of them. This is not true if you have set file associations of Microsoft documents to specific applications in any other office suite, including but not limited to koffice. In the case of koffice, kword gets started, It starts to load the presentation and decides correctly that this isn't a word document. So my question is: Aren't there any mime type and/or magic file experts here that can extent the magic file to recognise *.pps files correctly? Would be great if we could get that sorted out.

Unfortunately, I am not a magic file expert and failed badly. :-( Uwe -- Why do consumers keep buying products they will live to curse? most simple solution i can give is to rename file.pps to file.ppt for my understanding pps does only that that opening it starts slide show not the editor and powerpoint installation still has to be present martins -- Linux 2.6.15-ck3-r1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ 20:27:21 up 15:55, 7 users, load average: 1.74, 1.71, 1.63 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

What is your expierence, any sugestion where to look.
My experience is that the xine engine is _by far_ the best sounding
engine available in amarok.
It might be interesting to diff
~/.kde3.5/share/apps/amarok/xine-config with ~/.xine/config,
particularly for the alsa devices in use. Actually, I think you can
just copy the ~/.xine/config to the amarok directory to make sure you
are using the same xine configuration for both.
i have alsa on
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
The exact model of the controller chip might be useful here. From the
.confs in /usr/share/alsa/cards, I gather that the 8233 and 8237 do
hardware mixing, while the 8233A does not, and enables dmix/dsnoop by
default.
If you have the 8233 or 8237, I might try forcing the use of dmix by
default in your ~/.asoundrc to see if it makes a difference:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm dmixer
}
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm hw:0,0

period_size 1024

}
bindings {

1 1
}
}
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 0

Thanks, great to know I was wasting time with wrong xine config file :)
however, just before your message i recompiled amarok without gstreamer suport
and problem has gone, hope forever cause I'd like to keep this app.

Re: [gentoo-user] converting any video to mpeg-1, mpeg-4 or DivX-5
transcode and mencoder will do it, but ffmpeg is easier to use. Less
arcane options and a readable man page make life a lot easier for ffmpeg
users :)
$ man ffmpeg
No manual entry for ffmpeg
`ffmpeg` produces some help info, but then
-vcodec codec force video codec ('copy' to copy stream)
doesn't say what the actual codecs are...
hit plain 'ffmpeg' without any option and you will get full help
or
ffmpeg -formatsshow available formats, codecs, protocols, ...
or online
http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/ffmpeg-doc.html
by the way, hadn't use ffmpeg for long time and just checked and looks like
mine copy is broken, encodes with quality setting in thousands so its now
good tool to fill the free space on storage, and clock speeds up. will
investigate later.

Re: [gentoo-user] converting any video to mpeg-1, mpeg-4 or DivX-5
I have lots of different types of video files - from short funny ads, to 1/2 hr tv episodes, to full movies, in all sorts of formats - wmv, avi, mpeg, etc. I want to find a program (hopefully only 1!) that will help convert them to a format playable by the device. I'm happy if thats a command line only program. I will probably copy them 1 by 1 as I want to watch them. mencoder / transcode ill bet for ffmpeg Space it not too much of an issue (I'll eventually have about 60Gb on the device) - I'd rather not lessen the quality any more than it is already. So, here are my questions: 1. whats the best format to use out of the ones listed, given a) Good quality (not much less than, or the same as original) b) Size reasonable - large files ok, but compression is always a bonus) DivX try xvid mpeg4 and theres many more with different sources, or google for codecs and artefacts and stuff like that to pick best. 2. what program will convert 'anything' to said format.

Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice 2.0 - compiling or binary
On Thursday 01 December 2005 03:17, W.Kenworthy wrote: Use rsync. I am not sure how much gain there is to be had but try using an older version as the seed file - should save at least a little. Creative use of head/tail with seed files and already downloaded portions can save a lot if the link drops out halfway. Make sure you use the -P option (read man rsync) e.g. rsync -Pv --stats --bwlimit=2 filename . wget has a similar option. BB (Before Broadband!) I set this for both wget and rsync in /etc/make.conf. wget will usually download faster on high quality connections than rsync, but overall, if you have a seed file, rsync wins hands down. The bandwidth option is useful if you still want to use the link whilst downloading. Both rsync and wget request chunks of the file, then wait an amount of time before getting the next chunk. This averages out to the required throughput, but some apps did not deal with this very well (p[arrallel scp downloads slowed to a crawl for instance, leaving a large part of the available bw unused. Best bet in this case is to try and find a local person with broadband who will download and burn to cd for you. I used to use a modem for gentoo for a few years and know what you are up against - but I think its worse for the binary distros as I found I was downloading whole CD's on a regular basis - and thats a whole lot worse than OO!

Re: [gentoo-user] Home Network Printing

Probably because I do not completely understand the logic. The setup is as follows: I have two boxen, hostname1.STUDY and hostname2.STUDY. hostname2 has the printer connected to it via parallel port. The printer's name is Compaq-HP. Hostname2 can print locally without a hitch. I created a new printer on hostname1 and also named it Compaq-HP. I set the ipp address to ipp://hostname2.STUDY/ipp but I kept getting errors telling me it can't resolve the address. So I changed it to the LAN ip address (ipp://192.163.0.3/ipp)and it seems that it can now connect, but it cannot find the printer: = I [21/Nov/2005:21:55:47 +] [Job 44] Connecting to 192.168.0.3 on port 631...
