I'll agree here: I sometimes download a new binary to test before seeing if I really want it - then compile it. Compiled is usually subjectively faster, and definitely more stable.

Yes, you can choose between module or in kernel sound support.

Read again, it says you have inputs called Television, Composite1, S-Video and Composite3. Do not confuse your video device with the card's input. You get one video device, and unless you have another v4l device present it certainly will be /dev/video0 You get a number of inputs to that device, which controls what is seen on /dev/video0. I note that on your device there are 4 physical composite inputs, but only two compsite inputs are exposed by the driver. This may be because no-one ever wrote the bttv driver expecting a card with 4 composite inputs, or it may be because the kernel has not recognised the card properly and has set up the driver wrong. Take a look at the kernel documentation in Documentation/videoforlinux, in particular CARDLSIST.bttv. If you can find your card number you can add it to your module loading line as is well documented for these cards. I would have thought they would be /dev/video0 ...

[gentoo-user] LTSP and firefox woes
Hello, folks.We have a number of old machines hanging diskless on a fairly nice LTSP box.So, this is a good server with a bunch of 6-7 machines using X remotely.No problem at all, everything working fine... ... that is, until one of them hangs.Certain old machines tend to hang a lot, and when they hang, their processes runningon the server don't die, or at least don't die immediately.When they are rebooted and log on again, certain applications won't run, either complaining about lock files (OO.org), about another running instance of itself(firefox), or mibehaving because of existing files in /tmp (gnome with orbit files).There are other applications behaving like this. Anyone here using LTSP ever done any workaround to this? I thought about makinga wrapper script to gdm so that when someone logs on, before starting anything atall (window manager et all), it would kill every running process on the server except itself, and only then pass control to the window manager.This is an ugly hack, I know, but I don't see a straightforward solution (apart frombuying loads of new expensive machines). It seems to be a problem between X client and X server. In my opinion, the client windows should die if the corresponding X serveris not there anymore, but that's not what happens.-- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora| Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Network Administrator/Web Developper | ICQ: 1406477Rio de Janeiro - Brazil|
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Re: Succinct compilation of system info...
I have put up an update. Now user/groups are presented more usefully (including heuristics to separate human from system users). Also, it now lists packages for Gentoo, Arch Linux, and RPM based distros. (debian based on the way...) On Gentoo systems, first it checks for epm, and if found uses that. epm's output is much more friendly programmatically, and response is near instant. If there is no epm, it uses equery list which takes a while on my system, and breaks the columned output. Are there any other commands to print nice output of all installed packages? Still working on hardware output, and in this department I could really use the output from 'lspci' on an array of different systems to help detect the largest spread of possible hardware. Especially useful would be lspci output from SCSI and SATA systems. If you feel up to it, please feel free to email me this info off-list.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Succinct compilation of system info...
This seems to have tremendous potential. Having all this information in one standard form allows you to take snapshots of your system, and then if things break you can compare snapshots before and after to possibly get a hint of where to focus. This will be especially true when you add the ability to list packages and software installed. It could also be useful when trying to help solve a problem, especially remotely.

[gentoo-user] Way OT - Question about Squirrelmail and authentication
This is probably the wrong list to ask this question on, but I'll ask it anyway. I wanted to create set of PHP pages to offer espersunited.com users with several different services accessible from their web browser. I'd like for them to be able to enter their username and password at a login screen and after be able to use all the services offered. The only problem is that I can't figure out what mechanism Squirrelmail uses for authentication. I've looked at the PHP source code file for the login screen and I can't make sense of it. I want to either alter the code for the login screen in Squirrelmail so that it will use the session cookie I set (I think that was what it was called - the cookie that lasts until a user closes her browser window and then goes away) or to analyze the mechanism Squirrelmail uses and when I understand it to use if for my login gateway.

Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice 2.0 - compiling or binary
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!

[gentoo-user] Postfix and no worthy mechs found
Title: Message Greetings, I am "lucky" enough to have an ISP that blocks outbound port 25 traffic. Fortunately, inbound is wide open. However, I am not able to configure Postfix 2.1.5 to successfully use my ISP mail server as a relayhost. I get a reply in my logs that states: warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate to server smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com[68.142.229.41]: no mechanism available I've edited main.cf and added the following: smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = plain, login smtp_sasl_security_options = I've updated my password file "saslpass" to contain: [smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com] login:password and ran postmap hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass And I've run postfix reload... Oh, I also crossed my fingers that didn't seem to help either :-) Is SASL able to log into an smtp server like outlook does to send email? Or is there another solution I need to pursue? The good news is that inbound mail works great! Thank you for your help Sean

warning: SASL authentication failure: No worthy mechs found Authentication failed: cannot SASL authenticate to server smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com[68.142.229.41]: no mechanism available This seems to imply that the problem's with SASL, and not postfix.
