[gentoo-user] python2.4-python2.5-import gtk error
Just upgraded from 2.4 to 2.5 of python and I'm finding that I have issues with importing gtk. I have no idea what is happening and I've tried various methods of upgrading/re-compiling/downgrading pygobject pygtk and python and glib and pycairo and cairo and a whole host of other packages and still this error. Google is not my friend unfortunately.

Does anyone know how I can get the suspend kernel to assign my hard disk as /dev/sda? My guess is that the kernel moved from recognising the drive as a PATA to a SATA.

Re: [gentoo-user] fstab question
Colleen Beamer wrote: The wrinkle is that my son bought me a usbstick. I can mount it just fine. However, if my usb external hard drive is not powered on on boot, the stick is recognized at sdc1. If the usb drive is powered on then, the stick is recognized as sdd1. So, this means that if I want to use one or the other or both, I keep having to change fstab. Is there a way I can set the device to always be the same - i.e. I always want the usb external drive to be sdc1 and sdc2 and the usb stick to be sdd1. ACtually, as per suggestion from others, why don't you try out the combination of HAL and gnome-volume-manager (if you use gnome) and udev? Nowadays, everything will just be plug and play. No need to fiddle with fstab.. just plug it in, HAL will see there a new device, hotplug/coldplug will call out the necessary daemons and mount it automatically for you.

Maybe I'm confusing what you're looking for, but a look at 'perldoc DateTime' shows that the perl DateTime module has a 'epoch' function: $epoch_time = $dt-epoch; # may return undef if the datetime is outside the range that is # representable by your OS's epoch system. Yepp.. It's fine to get the current time's epoch via DateTime. What I want is actually to convert from a datetime into an epoch.. eg: User supplied Datetime = 2007-08-13 14:39:48 I want that Datetime converted into an Epoch Format. As another OOT suggestion, check out Class::DBI as something even more elegant than DBI. I've been using it for the last year or so and LOVE it's simplicity and OO-ness compared to DBI.

[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant and preferred_aps (not associating)
I'm not sure what happened and my effort to find out what happened is
still largely surmised by don't know yet
Anyway, using ipw2100 and wpa_supplicant
I followed the gentoo guide and put in the
network={
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=-999
}
such that it will pick up any un-encrypted APs.
Then suddenly it was not associating anymore.
I've ran wpa_supplicant on the command line and it kept spitting out
SSID Mismatch
I only got things to work after I added the SSID into the list in
wpa_supplicant.conf
Previously preferred_aps will work.
Does anyone have any clue?
BTW, when I do iwconfig, I get the message that the wireless tools has
been compiled with version 20 when the kernel version is version 22.
I've already re-compiled wireless-tools-28

If you need more then what is in the router, nothing prevents you from building a box for traffic monitoring and advanced routing later. But they differ in terms of what 'abilities' they have. Some are 'gaming routers', some have capability to prioritise voip etc. But, all in all, you will lose some amount of flexilibility as opposed to using a pc (soekris eg:) as your 'router' and the modem only as a 'modem' Since changes to the PC configuration necessary to connect to an ADSL modem with a router are minimal, there should be no time gap without the NET, it should be a period when you have both ADSL and cable. I agree. All you need to know is the setup on how to setup the modem/router to log into your ISP and you're home free. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] XFS FileSystem - Slow Writes

[gentoo-user] Help with bash/awk script
I'm trying to figure out how to do this sequence in this bash script.
The problem I'm having is how to make $i to change according to the
changes in $x
My current solution is a bit of a hack and stupid.
One more thing, my current solution will parse the file _each_ time for
_each_value/head which essentially means it reads the file multiple
times. Is there a better way so to reduce the # of reads/parses? (Does
awk parse the file once or multiple times, that is if I were to rewrite
the below entirely in awk language)
Thanks

If I understand correctly, you want to avoid all the if/elif tests on $x.
What about
low=`expr $x \* 7 + 1`
high=`expr $low + 6`
for i in `seq $low $high` ; do

This works _Great_!!

If you want more help with this I would suggest that you posted a short sample

heck of a lot easier to grasp what it is you want to do...

the 1st query. Ah.. Figured it out, you meant to use $1 (to subtitute

I can't use the 2nd invocation of awk (for tpiert) mainly because the NR

1 1.4E+005,1.0E+000
2 1.9E+004,9.0E+001

[gentoo-user] [OT] Apache Autoindex applications
Hi, Does anyone has any recommendations for using some sort of autoindex script for apache? I know and am currently using http://autoindex.sourceforge.net which has login/upload capabilities. I'm trying to see if there are any other alternatives. My goal. Integrate a front end apache-autoindex (w/ upload/login capability) that uses a SQL backend for authentication(I can use mod_auth_mysql as a means for connecting autoindex's htpasswd/htaccess to mysql and I am thinking of also integrating SAMBA with mysql using the pdbsql backend so I can have an integrated samba/apache file-server. (I was thinking of using WebDAV, but can't figure out how to do priviledge separation and have separate user/group accounts for different users/groups) If anyone has any pointers, do tell. -- Ow Mun Heng [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Well, I really can't see why would you want to use whatever-SQL-server for that purpose. If a user has logged in the samba file server and you want to spare him/her additional login to the apache server and vice versa you could use LDAP autentication. Both samba and apache can talk LDAP. Yes that's true, but, I don't really want to go into implementing an LDAP server/service right now. Besides that, I'm looking at using the autoindex script for web-based file storage. It doesn't support LDAP. (AFAIK) -- Ow Mun Heng [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] web_dav as samba replacement for file-sharing
I'm wondering if anyone here has been able to enable web_dav to become a full fledged replacement for samba. Samba is fine, don't get me wrong, but it just sucks when it's across WANs. My current problem lies with figuring out how to enable some sort of privilege separation. Current implementation of web_dav uses htaccess/htpasswd files and all directories are/needs to be writeable by the apache user(nobody/apache). There doesn't seem to be a bridge to enable eg: users from DeptA - read/write to dept_A_folder and dept_B_folder users from DeptB - Read only to dept_A_folder and read/write to dept_B_folder something along those lines. The other thing I need to understand also is, does web_dav work with old Win98 systems?
