Critical task upgrades (was [gentoo-user] What is the release date for 2006.1?)
It is a critical task, and as such, it needs to be done by an administrator, under supervision, and, thus, by hand. If I wanted any silly package admistration system messing with things like the default flags and compiler, I would better use any other distro. The problem is that a source based distro, relies deeply in the compiler and the libs, and those are tied to the profile in gentoo. So, no, an autoupdate for this will not be wellcome at all in my side. Is there a list of what packages have a critical task component? For example, I know that that the gcc package requires I do something manually to begin using the newer version. David -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Sound in Firefox 1.5.05
Hi, I can't figure this one out and couldn't find anything relevant in the archives. I emerged the stable build of Firefox 1.5.05 a couple of days ago. By default the java USE flag is turned off, but I didn't worry about this since I use Sun's java plugin. I don't know if this is relevant to the problem or not. My plugins look to be all complete. Java applets are fine and I can play video in Firefox just fine as well. If a new window is launched using mplayer plugin for that, I get sound. However, I don't have sound for anything that plays when a new window isn't launched. I hope I've made this clear. Any ideas?

Hi,
I have kinda reverse question to this vi/vim problem: I am using
vim as vim (not in compatible mode).
When writing normal text in Emacs or loading normal text into emacs
there was the possibility to reformat paragraphs wirh
fill-paragraphs (ALT-Q) so there were linebreaks inserted and
removed to make the paragraph fit best into the previously defined
width of the line.
I cannot find this functionality in vim...is there anything like
that?
Kind regards,
mcc

If a new window is launched using mplayer plugin for that, I get sound. However, I don't have sound for anything that plays when a new window isn't launched. You mean like flash animations? AFAIK, flash on linux still uses the old OSS API for sound, which requires /dev/dsp devices. One thing I'm referring to is an online game that I play - Bookworm, a game from popcap.com. When the scrabble type tiles drop, they make a noise. This game requires Java to be installed and works fine. Up until I did the upgrade to Firefox, I had sound in this game. What is different all of a sudden? The other issue is a video from this particular link http://tobykeith.musiccitynetworks.com/index.htm?inc=5news_id=8090. I was able to get sound in video on this site before the upgrade. Again, what is different? If you use the in-kernel ALSA drivers, you need CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS and CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS support. Also make sure that the snd_pcm_oss and snd_mixer_oss modules are loaded. I don't use in-kernel alsa drivers. I have to recompile this driver every time I do a kernel upgrade. If I don't recompile, I get a message about /dev/dsp. So, I assume that what I need is installed when I recompile. And right now, I did 'cd /dev' and 'ls dsp', dsp is there. I also tried recompiling Firefox with the nsplugin USE flag, although this USE flag was not listed when I did 'emerge -av mozilla-firefox'. Any other thoughts?

I cannot find this functionality in vim...is there anything like that? From user_10.txt of the vim help manual: ===begin quote Now lines will be broken to take only up to 72 characters. But when you insert text halfway a line, or when you delete a few words, the lines will get too long or too short. Vim doesn't automatically reformat the text. To tell Vim to format the current paragraph: gqap This starts with the gq command, which is an operator. Following is ap, the text object that stands for a paragraph. A paragraph is separated from the next paragraph by an empty line. Note: A blank line, which contains white space, does NOT separate paragraphs. This is hard to notice! Instead of ap you could use any motion or text object. If your paragraphs are properly separated, you can use this command to format the whole file: gggqG gg takes you to the first line, gq is the format operator and G the motion that jumps to the last line. In case your paragraphs aren't clearly defined, you can format just the lines you manually select. Move the cursor to the first line you want to format. Start with the command gqj. This formats the current line and the one below it. If the first line was short, words from the next line will be appended. If it was too long, words will be moved to the next line. The cursor moves to the second line. Now you can use . to repeat the command. Keep doing this until you are at the end of the text you want to format. ==end quote=== HTH, W -- When cryptography is outlawed, bayl bhgynjf jvyy unir cevinpl.
