[gentoo-user] ot dvd authoring

[Kellystewart00]

G'Day List,
  im trying in vain to find a halfway decent dvd authoring program 
which will setup chapters and then burn this to disc with as little fuss as 
possible i have the movies as avi's at the moment and have tried a few programs 
which only do half the job. Does anyone know of a one stop shop program so to 
speak.

thanks in advance

Re: [gentoo-user] Mailman archives are not written anymore - why??

[Alexis Lahouze]

Hi,
I know there are basic questions but:
- do you have any free space on your fs?
- is the destination folder for mailman writable for the user or the  
group which executes mailman processes?


I don't know mailman so I can't help more, sorry...

You need to run it overnight.  After 32 passes or what not you should have 
some consistent output.  Before you start memtest86 I suggest that you remove 
and reinsert the memory sticks a couple of times (just to make sure you get a 
good electrical contact).  If you get the error(s) coming up in every pass my 
guess would be that you need new memory.

From my experience Memtest86 is not particularly good at digging out problems 
which involve faults occurring when the memory switches from one module to 
the next (i.e. when the memory controller comes into play) or from memory to 
swap.  There's a script that you could run which puts your memory and memory 
controller through its paces.  It's been published in this list a couple of 
times; have a look and if you cannot find it let me know and I'll have a look 
for you.

You could tie the net dependent services to the net.lo line, and afterwords
bring up either net.eth0 or net.wlan0 manually (Remove them from the rc
default).  It's not pretty but it could work.  The other consideration is to
build your profile primairily for which net connection you intend to use the

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Laptop

[Timothy A. Holmes]

HI folks;

I am getting ready to rebuild my laptop in gentoo - it is currently running the 
first install of gentoo that i ever did and i need to clean it up and running 
right.

I want to use the laptop for the following - 
IM and IRC communications, (kopete and kvirc) 
photo processing (digikam and gimp and gthumb) 
web browsing etc (firefox and konqueror) 
VM ware to run windows
samba connections to my file servers (smb4k)
Regular file management (konqueror)
VNC and RDP Connections to windows servers
SSH connections to linux servers
VPN connection to my network at work
Video capture via firewire (kino or equivalent)
Use of detachable firewire hard drives
use of iomega external USB dvd burner (k3b)
use of internal cd rw drive / dvd reader (K3B)
i need the wireless to work - im using the windows driver and NDISwrapper

I use Fluxbox as my GUI

wishes / wants -- i would really love the flash cards from my camera to 
automout and be read/write automatically

Id also like the external usb / firewire drives and flash (thumb) dries to do 
the same thing

the screen is 1440x900

the hdd is 80gb and i will be partitioning it thusly:

32mb - boot
1gb - swap
remainder /

it has 1gb memory onboard

i have 2 hard drives for the machine, so i will keep the current gentoo 
install, and swap the other one in to build on, but that keeps it from being a 
rush job and hopefully i can get it right the first time.  I will be taking 
this machine with me for 3 weeks storm chasing this summer and i need to be 
able to depend on it to always JUST WORK without hassles etc.

I am looking for recomendations / suggestions / pitfalls etc to assembling this 
machine -- i will be following the manual for the build, but if anyone has done 
this type of builds in the past and has suggestions etc id appreciate 
recomendations, or links to appropriate howtos etc.  Many of the things i want 
to add / build have howtos associated with them, and i will be using them.




Thanks

[gentoo-user] horrible gedit dependencies

[Enrico Weigelt]

Hi folks,

I just wanted to install gedit on an system already runing Xorg,
but I'm horrified about the dependencies. All useflags are disabled,
but still 38 packages required.

Is it possible to trim this down somehow ?

Re: [gentoo-user] Replacing "eth0" with "wlan0"

[Benedikt Morbach]

3) all this stuff should go nice to init system, eth0 should be 
removed, so wlan0 should provide the init system with "net".
I think /etc/init.d/net.eth0 should only a symlink to 
/etc/init.d/net.lo. You can check that by running

# ls -l /etc/init.d/net.*

On my system it returns:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 15. Feb 20:35 /etc/init.d/net.eth0 -> net.lo*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30522 15. Feb 20:35 /etc/init.d/net.lo*

To get the net.wlan0 service, just create a new link:
# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -sf net.eth0 net.wlan0

if you want to, you can also savely delete net.eth0

1) ndiswrapper module should go to /etc/modules.autoload folder 
I don't know much about the module (and ndiswrapper in general) but 
maybe running

# modprobe -l
and putting the ndiswrapper module (without extension or path) into 
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 could do it.

Well, gedit is a GNOME app (included in GNOME's standard Desktop
release) and, as such, depends on quite a few gnome libraries.  Looking
at the ebuild, I see nothing particularly outstanding about it's
dependencies relative to other GNOME apps, apart from gtksourceview.
Most GNOME setups will already have these installed.  There's an
optional "python" use flag that, if enabled, adds some python utilities
and plugins.  There's also a "spell" use flag for the optional spell
checking capability.

If you are not already running GNOME and don't want to pull in all the
GNOME dependencies, might you want to use some other editor?

You would probably want hald, dbus which are now installed by default when you 
emerge KDE applications.  You may also want to install ivman for 
automounting.  Personally, I have stayed away from ivman and added something 
like this to my ~/.fluxbox/menu to choose when I mount/unmount my flashcards:

[submenu] (CF / camera) 

  [exec] (mount CF) {pmount /dev/sda1 && konqueror /media/sda1} 

  [exec] (unmount CF) {sync && pumount /dev/sda1} 


The assumption being that your camera/flashcard reader is detected 
as /dev/sda1, not /dev/sda.  Adjust or duplicate as required.

Alternatively, you need to launch Konqueror every time before you navigate to 
Storage Media and click to mount your camera device therein.

As my comments above.

Unless you are keen to keep your boot time in the nanoseconds, I suggest that 
you add a few more partitions and have swap (/dev/hda1), / (/dev/hda2), /home 
(/dev/hda3) on primary partitions.  The remaining goes into an extended 
partition (/dev/hda4), and /usr/portage (/dev/hda5) and /boot (/dev/hda6) on 
logical partitions thereafter.  My rational is as follows:

When you use swap you want it to be as fast as it gets.  Root and /home come 
next.  You keep /home on a separate partition for ease of back ups and to 
simplify a reinstall in the future, or a transfer to another machine 
altogether.  /usr/portage goes on a separate partition to minimise fs 
fragmentation.  /boot goes last because you only access it once every time 
you boot and it is small enough to quickly move/back up/restore to another 
partition if you decide to add some more partitions to your scheme.

DISCLAIMER
Before anyone starts shooting me down, this is just my preferred way of 
partitioning a laptop.  No doubt there are umpteen partitioning schemes out 
there, some simpler, some more complex, some of which involve LVM, EVM; etc.  
Not all of them maximise access/read/write times for the most often used 
directories/files and minimise fs fragmentation.

If you like your current desktop and applications configuration you can copy 
over most config files from /etc and /home onto your new drive and then 
emerge packages as you need them.

there's lots of documentation stuff pulled in, although I've 
switched off the docs useflag.

./configure tells me some optional things, ie. scrollkeeper. 
I wonder if gtksourceview and the printing stuff could be made 
optional (./configure doesnt tell anything about it).

I don't have any GNOME setup. I just want an easy-to-use editor,
nothing else.

[gentoo-user] Wireless network seems ok, but higher level stuff fails

[Paulo Roberto Candido dos Santos]

Hello list!

I'm having some problems setting a wireless network consisting of a
gentoo ap, one gentoo station and one Windows XP station.
I've followed the instructions on the madwifi.org and on gentoo
specialized forums and wiki. Seems like the "wireless" part of the
network is just fine and every station can connect to the ap, but I
can't do more than ping the hosts in the winxp station and the gentoo
station connects to the network but can't do nothing... not even ping
the ap.
Nothing wrong with logs and signal... but it seems that all the
network services and protocols (tcp, udp and icmp for the gentoo
station) aren't working.

The strange thing is that the Windows XP host can ping the ap, however
it can't get a dhcp address and even using static IP can't access
services on the AP like http and ssh. This machine can ping hosts on
the internet but can't access tcp or udp services. Iptraf on the AP
reports the connections.

The other Gentoo workstation can scan and connect to the network but
can't do nothing more.



From the AP Linux Machine:


/etc/conf.d/wireless:

modules_ath0=( "iwconfig" )

Thanks Wayn0,

I downloaded, unpacked and ran it like so:

Do you want to (r)egister this desklet or to (t)est it? yes
Registered. Run 'adesklets' to (re)start your desklets.

Generally the doc use flag is for developer documentation.  That's

Without gtksourceview you have no gedit.  It's the text widget used by
gedit.  Scrollkeeper is pretty much used by all GNOME apps for help
docs, etc.

You probably don't want gedit then.  gedit is the "text editor for the
GNOME desktop", so it's pretty much integrated with GNOME itself.

You could try gvim, if you're already familiar enough with vim (and
gvim only has optional dependancies on gnome et al.)

[gentoo-user] Intel_HDA Sound, Microphone and Skype [SOLVED] (sort of)

[Matthew R. Lee]

A while back I was looking for a solution to getting the external microphone 
to work with the Intel_HDA soundcard on my laptop (Compaq Presario V5000)
I thought I should say I've found a solution of sorts ( or workaround) in the 
form of a cheap generic usb soundcard.  It's cheap, it's small, it works and 
I use it just for skype.

Hello list!

I'm having some problems setting a wireless network consisting of a
gentoo ap, one gentoo station and one Windows XP station.
I've followed the instructions on the madwifi.org and on gentoo
specialized forums and wiki. Seems like the "wireless" part of the
network is just fine and every station can connect to the ap, but I
can't do more than ping the hosts in the winxp station and the gentoo
station connects to the network but can't do nothing... not even ping
the ap.
Nothing wrong with logs and signal... but it seems that all the
network services and protocols (tcp, udp and icmp for the gentoo
station) aren't working.

The strange thing is that the Windows XP host can ping the ap, however
it can't get a dhcp address and even using static IP can't access
services on the AP like http and ssh. This machine can ping hosts on
the internet but can't access tcp or udp services. Iptraf on the AP
reports the connections.

The other Gentoo workstation can scan and connect to the network but
can't do nothing more.

I have basic Gnome libs for Gvim & Epiphany, but it wants  35  deps, incl

I don't have a sound card & have removed all sound software from my box.
Whyever would Gedit want sound pkgs or a CD burner ??

It's probably easier for AH to use Kwrite, if he doesn't like Vim:
even if he has no KDE pkgs installed, it won't ask for  35  deps ...

I don't use this or even know for sure what it is except that it has
something to do with emails.  Since maybe you are new, have you checked
into what USE flags are available?  That is generally how Gentoo enables
things during the install of a program.  To get that info, just do a
emerge -vp squirrelmail and see what is available.  You can check man
portage and make make.conf as well. 

If you are new to Gentoo and something like me, you may want to ask more
questions too.  ;-)

It doesn't.  If you look at the ebuild there are no dependencies for
this.  There may be indirect dependencies (remember gedit is part of the
GNOME Desktop) and also remember use flags are very important (e.g. I
have the complete GNOME desktop + other GNOME apps running in a vm, but
none of them pull in esound).

I think you got me confused with the OP.  I'm actually very happy with
Vim. :-)  Also, AFAIK there is no ebuild for Kwrite.  Kwrite is part of
kdebase which will still likely pull in a bunch of stuff that the OP
isn't interested in.

I think what the OP is looking for is a simple GUI text editor with no
DE dependencies.  There is a crap load of editors out there (e.g. tea)
but as I've no experience with them to recommend them (plus it's hard
recommending packages as people's preferences vary greatly). But I hope
I've given some clarity as to why gedit has such "horrible"
dependencies.

I don't mean to start an argument, but it does "want" them, as I said,
even if they are not stated deps in the ebuild.  My USE flags are:

  USE="-* apm bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cdr crypt cups dri foomaticdb
 gcj gdbm gif gnutls gpm gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib java javascript jpeg
 kde lcms libwww lm_sensors mime motif mpeg ncurses nptl nptlonly
 nsplugin nvidia opengl pcre pdf perl plotutils png pop python
 qt3 readline scanner session slang ssl
 tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb X xml xorg xv zlib"

ie I drop them all, then define those I deliberately want.
If Gedit drags in all deps for the Gnome desktop, then my question is:
whyever would the Gnome desktop want sound pkgs or a CD burner ??
and perhaps too: why does Gedit drag in all the Gnome desktop deps ??
If the answer is "That's just the way Gnome does things",
that tends to confirm the correctness of my avoidance of Gnome
in favor of KDE & (installed, but not used) Xfce (smile).

> AFAIK there is no ebuild for Kwrite.  Kwrite is part of Kdebase

Kwrite is included under Kate, which is a separate Gentoo pkg,
but what I should have refered to is Kedit:

  eix kedit
  * kde-base/kedit
 Available versions:  (3.5) 3.5.5 ~3.5.6
 Homepage:http://www.kde.org/
 Description: KDE: very simple text editor

The simplest editor I know is 'e3', which I sometimes use:
it's not GUI, but it's very quick & easy (I use the 'Nedit' mode).
Gvim is my mainstay for most things, of course.

HTH the OP.

[gentoo-user] Re: Wireless network seems ok, but higher level stuff fails

[Paulo Roberto Candido dos Santos]

It's me again. I found more strange things about my problem. I think
I'm getting closer:

arp -n in the Gentoo Station reports:
169.254.0.1  (incomplete)  ath0

Where 169.254.0.1 is the address of the AP.
tcpdump -vv -i ath0 arp:

20:50:21.984182 arp who-has 169.254.0.1 tell 169.254.0.3


While I'm pinging the AP, I got "truncated-arp" messages in the AP
"tcpdump -vv ath0 arp" output.

The Station machine just got two replies:
64 bytes from 169.254.0.1: icmp_seq=424 ttl=64 time=0.400 ms
64 bytes from 169.254.0.1: icmp_seq=426 ttl=64 time=2998 ms


It seems like my problem has something to do with the "Signal Too
Strong" http://madwifi.org/wiki/FAQ/SignalTooStrong issue. I will move
the AP to a place far from the station.

So far no one replied to this, but I will keep posting in the hope
that my attempts to make this works helps someone in the future.

I don't use this or even know for sure what it is except that it has
something to do with emails.  Since maybe you are new, have you checked
into what USE flags are available?  That is generally how Gentoo enables
things during the install of a program.  To get that info, just do a
emerge -vp squirrelmail and see what is available.  You can check man
portage and make make.conf as well.

If you are new to Gentoo and something like me, you may want to ask more
questions too.  ;-)

Dale


Hi Dale,

I'm not new.  I've actually been at this for quite a while.  In my
time with Gentoo I've found that it sometimes has special ways of
doing things and I usually check in with the list if I'm wondering.

It appears squirrelmail is installed with the crypt USE flag.  'equery
uses squirrelmail' says this about crypt:

Add support for encryption -- using mcrypt or gpg where applicable

Does anyone know if that is the gpg plug-in or not?  If so, does
anyone know how to enable it for use in squirrelmail?

Re: [gentoo-user] how does one temporarily disable a firefox plugin

I have a stable x86 gentoo system with firefox (bon echo) 2.0.0.1) and

I am trying to download an MP3 from "The teaching company" (they have
lectures on various subjects).  The actual button pressed invokes some
javascript.

The result is that totem generates an error msg namely
  Totem could not play 'fd://0'.

I would like to temporarily not have totem handle the mp3s, but I was
unable to see how to do it.


Don't know if you ever figured out an answer for this, but a
(not-recommended/dangerous/manual) way to do this would be to drop to
a command line as root, make a temp dir (mkdir ~/tmp_plugins), and do:

mv /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libtotem* ~/tmp_plugins/.

And that will disable the totem plugin in Firefox - you don't even
have to restart Firefox. After you're done with what you're doing and
you want to re-enable the totem plugin, do (as root):

mv ~/tmp_plugins/libtotem* /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/.

And Firefox will be ready to go again, also with no restart needed.

HTH-

James




I strongly suspect that unmerging totem (and remerging when done)
would work but was looking for a less drastic method.

If mousepad doesn't happen to strike your fancy, you could try scite.

It's very simple and straight-forward for basic editing, but also offers

I'm not quite sure why it's not showing up, but here's a few things to try:

check to see if adesklets is running:
$ ps x | grep adesklets

for me, this shows:
8377 pts/9S  0:00 adesklets
/home/.../.desklets/Calendar-0.5.3/Calendar.py
8378 pts/9S  0:00 adesklets /home/.../.desklets/yab-0.0.2/yab.py
8381 pts/9S  0:00 adesklets
/home/.../.desklets/weatherforecast-0.2.0/weatherforecast.py
8629 pts/8S+0:00 grep --colour=auto adesklets

(I have installed each of my desklets into a subdirectory of ~/.desklets)

if adesklets is not running, it probably crashed when it tried to load
the Calendar desklet.  This usually happens as a result of a syntax
error in the config.txt file for the applet, or if there is a python
library the applet wants to use, but can't find.

To get a bit of debug information, try running ./Calendar.py again, but
answering "t" when it asks if you want to register or test.

(hopefully this will point you in the right direction)
If it complains about not being able to find a file, it may be that you
need to emerge a python module that the applet is counting on.

As a side note, if you haven't already enabled the "ctrlmenu" use flag
for adesklets, I recommend it, since it makes right clicking on the
desktop work properly in fluxbox, while still being able to access the
desklet's menu by ctrl-right-clicking on the applet.

Good luck :)

  I ran into this problem a long time ago with dosbox.  This is a
chained dependancy, where the cause is hidden a couple of layers deep.
  - dosbox depends on libsdl
  - libsdl can *OPTIONALLY* link in svgalib

  Run "emerge -pv libsdl" to get a list of flag settings.  You probably
have "svga" enabled.  media-libs/svgalib bangs away directly at the
video card hardware, and obviously needs root permission (or setuid) to
do so.  Any app that (directly or indirectly) links to svgalib and uses
it for video hardware access also needs root or setuid.

  You have a couple of options

  a) Unless you really need svgalib elsewhere, the best solution is to
  - add "-svga" to your USE variable in /etc/make.conf
  - emerge --ask --deep --newuse --update --world
  - emerge --unmerge svgalib
  - revdep-rebuild --ask
  This gets rid of svgalib, and prevents it being linked optionally.
The revdep-rebuild is to check if this breaks anything else.

  b) if you need svgalib elsewhere, OTHER THAN IN LIBSDL
  - add the line...
media-libs/libsdl -svga
to /etc/portage/package.use
  - emerge --ask --deep --newuse libsdl dosbox
  - revdep-rebuild --ask

  If another app needs need libsdl linked to svgalib, you're stuck with
setuid or sudo for dosbox.

From squirrelmail-1.4.9a.ebuild:

RDEPEND="virtual/php
[...]
crypt? ( app-crypt/gnupg )
[...]
if use crypt; then
docinto gpg
for doc in plugins/gpg/README plugins/gpg/README.txt
plugins/gpg/INSTALL plugins/gpg/INSTALL.txt plugins/gpg/TODO; do
dodoc ${doc}
rm -f ${doc}
done
fi

So yes.  It installs the g/pgp plugin for you.  I prefer to install the
plugins by hand.  There are just too many plugins and not enough USE
flags.  No problems so far.

Enabling g/pgp plugin is like enabling any other plugin.  Untar into
plugins directory, read the documentation, adjust as needed and run
conf.pl to enable the plugin.

What

Hi Mick,

Assuming you have have just started a new session and have not yet run
adesklets try this

$adesklets &

$/path/to/calendar/Calender.py 

If you select test from the menu it should show the desklet on screen
you can now move it around, play with it etc.
Exit the desklet re run the 

$/path/to/calendar/Calender.py 

This time selecting register
Kill adesklets and then run it again.
If you happy that it's working simply add adesklets to your X startup
i.e. .xinitrc or .XSession

Good luck
Wayn0
