 Nope, not a joke at all.  Thinking CNN is fair and balanced would be
 tho.  Saying that about NBC would make me laugh so hard I would turn

You actually believe that crap ?!
Fox is one of those major forces who heavily agitate against the 
911-truth movement, denunciate them as anarchists or criminals
(eg. Geraldo w/ his whitepower twillings) and conditions people
to accept NWO.

Wake up, switch off that megacorp propaganda tube and research

I would say, look in the mirror. What is your propaganda is the truth.
I feel the same way about CNN that you feel about Fox. I wouldn't even
consider anything CNN says unless I saw it myself. Fox at least shows
both points of view instead of just one side like CNN and their bed
buddies.

You may also want to consider the ratings of Fox compared to CNN. Fox
passed CNN ages ago. Hardly anyone watches CNN over here anymore. Just
today it was reported that Oreilly was third in ALL the ratings. Not
just news but all the channels. The first two was TNT and the USA
network. They do sometimes have good new shows there to watch.

Have a nice day. :-)

 Repeatedly over the years Fox told both sides of the story and 
 not just one side. 

Yeah, two artificially created sides, just like Shakespearean Theatre ;-o

Did they ever do really objective reports about topics like the numerous 
false flag attacks (eg. USS liberty attack or Gulf of Tonkin incident),
the Jeckyll Island coup, the official 911 conspiracy of Alibaba and his
40 bandits, FEMA detaination camps, illegal income tax, Obama's connections
to the war-creator Brezinski and terrorists like Bill Ayers, etc, etc ?

 They also look
 at WHAT is being reported.  Let's say Obama makes a screw up, Fox will
 talk about it but most likely NBC won't even mention it since they were
 in the tank for him and supported him during the election.  

Of course. That's good old good-cop-bad-cop-game. 
Part of that is the illusion of these two parties, which are in fact
just one (that pillow fight in the media is just for distraction)

They didnt event get the plugins running in their own process - the

 You are probably using maildir for your mail - it's the default. Shut
 down kmail completely. Go to ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/folder/cur,

 identifying the files that isn't it.

 Then delete the relevant index files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail.
 Your inbox for example is called .inbox.index.* and there will be three
 of them.

 Restart kmail, it will rebuild it's indexes and all will be well.

That did it - thanks.

  I suppose I could delete my home directory, create a new one and import
  kmail's stuff from the old to the new, together with other
  applications' stuff, but I don't know any way to import filters, and
  anyway it's an awful fag.

 Don't delete your home dir! kmail keeps it's mail there and you will lose
 the lot.

Slip of the tongue (pen? fingers?). I meant I'd move the home directory, not 
remove it.

 That depends on the severity of the known bugs, and the likelihood of

all the packes also linked in the same guide I see a set called kde, but
still i can't install kde because i get blocks and non-existant sets... so

 Thakns Stroller, i'm using something like this

 SOLVED at all.

 Thanks again.

Try this if you want to save yourself a lot of editing:

eix -u | awk '/^\[/{print emerge -vauDN , $2}'

If want to redirect to an executable file, then use this:

eix -u | awk 'BEGIN{print # /usr/bin/bash\n} /^\[/{print emerge -vauDN ,

You are doing something wrong, as that exact same config works here. Do you 
have the kde-testing overlay installed? Did you emerge @kde-4.2 or emerge

[gentoo-user] {OT} Copy the full path to clipboard from Thunar

2009-02-26 Thread Grant
I'm trying to copy the full path of a file from xfce4's file manager
Thunar so I can paste it into a command line program.  The way I found
to do this was with the Configure custom actions... option like
this:

echo %f | xcopy -selection c

I can then paste the path, but there is a newline character at the end
which messes things up.  Is there a better way to do this, or can I
strip the newline character?

If this newline comes from the echo command you can suppress it with -n.

[gentoo-user] Screen and Window Titles in screen

2009-02-26 Thread Chris Lieb
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I am trying to get screen set up and am running into some issues getting
it to display titles like I want.  When I'm not running screen, commands
like emerge change the title of the console I'm currently in (like
Konsole or PuTTY (win)).  When I start up screen, all I get is the name
of the host that I am ssh'd into.  I am testing only with PuTTY right
now since I don't have access to a Linux box with X on it right now.

I figured that it might be easier to get screen to set the title of one
of the screens automatically from the title that the bash session that
it is hosting has.  After digging a bit, I found shelltitle, but that
only seems to read the name of the currently executing command, and also
overwrites the name that I might have assigned to that screen.

My goal is to have titles that are something like:
[screen title]: [xterm title]
where I can set [screen title] using C-a A and [xterm title] is what I
would normally see as the title of an XTerm/Konsole/PuTTY.

Is it possible to achieve something even close to this?

Thanks,
Chris Lieb

PS. Where can I find a reference for the syntax for the format strings
for things like hardstatus?  I can't seem to find anything using Google.

I use PuTTY and screen and window titles are shown in the screens

I did find a great status-bar that shows open screens (gentoo weekly

[gentoo-user] Truncating sound files

2009-02-26 Thread Peter Humphrey
Hello list,

I have a small collection of songs which I'd like to put on a Web site in 
shortened form. I've converted them to mp3 on my disk, but they're too big 
to upload to the Web host (and anyway if everyone could download the lot 
they wouldn't have to buy the CD).

Is there a way to create a version of each song that fades out after, say, 
half a minute? Or perhaps resample them at a lower bit-rate? I've searched 
the package list and google, but with no luck so far.

Thanks in advance.

My problem was that I used hardstatus instead of caption.  This allows
the window title to be set by the terminal.

Is there a way to have a child screen session set the title of the
terminal, eg. I run emerge inside a screen inside a screen (like sshing
from one computer to another)?

Also, is there a way to get the screen title to match the terminal title?

 As far as the syntax of the hardstatus I think it may be usual termcap syntax.

Can you give me a pointer to where a definition of that syntax is?  All
I find is for defining capabilities of terminals.

[gentoo-user] Strange mouse movements

2009-02-26 Thread Morten Holt
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello people

I just upgraded my kernel from 2.6.27-r7 to 2.6.27-r8, during this
process I decided to start over on my config, setting it up from scratch
instead of reusing the .config. I pretty much set the new kernel up like
the old one, except for a few things.

However, now my touchpad acts really strange from time to time, nothing
really specific, it's ONLY the touchpad, so i can connect an USB mouse,
but this is hardly an ideal solution.

The strangeness is that the mouse jumps all over the screen when I try
to move it, and clicks all over the place, making for really really
anoying stuff.

When the issue occurs the following shows up in
/var/log/everything/current (equivelant to /var/log/messages):

Feb 26 22:42:52 [kernel] [  448.018056] psmouse.c: Mouse at

I can apply any information needed, but didn't want this message to get
TOO long.

[gentoo-user] Why is xulrunner-bin required for acroread in amd64 (xulrunner not OK)

2009-02-26 Thread Allan Gottlieb
I have xulrunner installed on my x86 and amd64 machines.  When I tried
to install acroread on the amd64, it wanted to pull in xulrunner-bin.

Sure enough the ebuild contains

RDEPEND=media-libs/fontconfig
cups? ( net-print/cups )
x86? ( =x11-libs/gtk+-2.0
ldap? ( net-nds/openldap )
!minimal? ( || ( net-libs/xulrunner
net-libs/xulrunner-bin
www-client/mozilla-firefox
www-client/seamonkey
www-client/seamonkey-bin ) ) )
amd64? ( =app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-2.4.2
=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-2.0
!minimal? ( || ( net-libs/xulrunner-bin
www-client/seamonkey-bin ) ) )



So for amd64 we need (assuming not a minimal install) some emulation.
OK.

But why are the -bin packages good and the compile-from-source not good?

thanks,
allan

Because the -bin package is 32-bit, like acroread itself.

With mine, it tries 2.0 first then goes to the first version.  My
printer is 2.0 but my camera is the old version, or maybe it is the
other way around.  I got a memory stick that connects 2.0 to.  Anyway,
that works here and it may work for you.

Yes, it does.  Each usb jack is connected to just one of the 
controllers.  If you watch the log messages when you plug in a
device, you can tell which controller it's connected to and
whether it's a high-speed device or not.

The lshw command will provide even more details about connected
devices.

 - Grant


   

I'm not 100% sure of this but I think it will try to connect sort of
like a IDE drive or even a old dial-up modem does.  It just tries to use
the fastest speed it can get a stable connect at.  It appears to try the
new faster version first but if that doesn't work it switches to the
slower speed and tries that.  Because of my hardware, I have to use both
on mine since some can only use the slow speed and some can use the high
speed.

As far as the actual connector itself, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter
at all.  It's one chip that controls it all anyway.  Just like the PCI
bus, it has one chip and that's it.  I know I have switched my printer
and camera around several times and it works the same no matter how I
connect it.

Now if you have the new version USB with everything hardware wise, you
may be able to disable the old version so that it has no option but to
use the new fast one.  That way you can get the fast speed or a error
message that it isn't working.  Keep in mind tho, if you have a junky
cable, it will limit the speed a LOT.  My printer would not use the new
fast version with a older cable.  It does with the new cable tho.  My
camera just plain don't work with the new version no matter what.  You
may want to get a good quality cable to test with too.

Someone correct me if I am off base here.

[gentoo-user] looking for a ftp client script

Hi guys,

I need to exchange some files between a AIX developer server and my gentoo
desktop, actually it is not a gentoo request :-). There is no ftp client
tool or file server setup on that AIX server, and I don't have enough power
to install any binary tool. So, I think it is possible to use script on AIX,
then it will get/put files from/to my gentoo's ftp server. Can anyone
recommend such a script? Perl based script is prefered,

Thanks,
