Re: [gentoo-user] ipw3945d no longer starting when wifi switch is set to on with udev-103 (without coldplug now)

My problem is that now ipw3945d is no longer started when I switch on the wifi switch on my laptop, like it was when coldplug was installed. Any ideas on how to achieve this functionality now? Thank you, Gabriel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Hi Gabriel, do you use ipw3945d stable or testing? it seems the stable release has problems with udev 103, mybe try to use the testing ipw3945d. I use testing and i didn´ t had any problems after the update of udev. also testing comes with an rc-start-script now. greez jakommo

[gentoo-user] Overlay SVN problem

Re: [gentoo-user] Transcoding movie DVD to MPEG4?
On 12/3/06, Mick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I want to copy a movie from a DVD which I bought in a shop, to another DVD to take with me on holiday. I'll be playing back the copy on my laptop and (if it is feasible) the hotel's DVD player. I thought that K3B and a double layer blank DVD+R is all I need to burn an iso image of the DVD. After two expensive coasters (see other recent topic) I came to the conclusion that the combination of K3B/Phillips-DVD8421/Imation-DVD+R DL will just not work. I could start trying out different brands of DVD+R DL, but I cannot see a sustainable economic case for persevering with my coaster production. :-( So, I am now looking at alternative solutions to be able to enjoy my movies when on hols. I mounted the DVD and can see a number of *.vob files only some of which are the main film. Saving these would be enough, if only they could fit in a single layer DVD. Each of these *.vob files are approx.: -r-xr-xr-x 1 michael users 1073684480 Dec 3 11:21 vts_01_1.vob There are 6 of them in a video which I want to copy, but given the recent failed attempts with burning DVD+R DLs I will have to compact them so that they can fit in a single DVD. I read about transcoding into mpeg4, but I don't know what are the right options for what I want. What would you recommend? -- Regards, Mick Hi Mick, I'm not sure if this is what you want, but there is a tool in portage called dvdrip, maybe that helps. I never used it so I don't know if it will suit your needs.

Re: [gentoo-user] Using a remote DVD writer

On the other hand, my desktop has the works. Other than booting the desktop in Gentoo and burning DVDs directly, is there a way to use it remotely from my laptop? Can I define in K3B my desktop's DVD drive(s)? How can I set this up for a LAN connection? While at it, is there a way to achieve this at all when the desktop is not running Gentoo, but WinXP? PS. I do not currently have SAMBA configured on either box. I think these two command chains should work: mkisofs -opt1 -opt2 -optN /files/for/burning | \ ssh desktop cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -driveropts=burnfree - ---for CDs mkisofs -opt1 -opt2 -optN /files/for/burning | \ ssh desktop growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/fd/0 ---for DVDs If you decide to try the above commands, please, do it with *RW media* first, because I haven't tested them. Thanks for all suggestions. Daniel's idea seems to be closer to what I was looking for (I do not have Java installed on either box, although I could run Knoppix on the CD writer machine). Only I have no idea what the options should be to copy a DVD - I guess an iso image of the original? I'll need to go through that man page a few times, unless you can suggest an appropriate string of options. PS. When I used the k3b gui with default settings to copy a WinXP directory to a DVD it capitalised all filenames and substituted most characters like , spaces, etc with _. I assume that this is because it applied Jolliet standard. How should I set it in K3B to get all the file name characters copied over intact? How would I do this in mkisofs, too? -- Regards, Mick on mkisofs I think you have to use -r for Rock Ridge then you should get the real filenames

Without /var mounted and read-write, ipw3945d cannot start. I then /sbin/modprobe ipw3945 in /etc/conf.d/local.start to load the module near the end of the boot sequence. Perhaps you need to do something similar? That's probably the same thing I need (except / rw should be sufficient for me, so I think I can use /etc/modules.autoload). I wonder if udev can be configured not to load the module. Probably the right thing is really to have ipw3945d run as regular service. It'd be nice if ipw3945 produced class net node for the device when the daemon isn't running, and just required the daemon to actually turn it on. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list if you use the testing versoin of ipw3945d it comes with an rc startscript, maybe that helps.
