[gentoo-user] generic command monitor
Dear all, I'm looking for a command-line alternative to xfce4-genmon [1]. The latter takes a command (executable), executes it every specified period and displays the output in Xfce's panel. I'm looking for a small utility (script) that can do this in the console: take a command, re-run it regularly, print the output. Any suggestions? Thank you, Liviu [1] http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-genmon-plugin -- Do you know how to read? http://www.alienetworks.com/srtest.cfm Do you know how to write? http://garbl.home.comcast.net/~garbl/stylemanual/e.htm#e-mail

[gentoo-user] Portage Patch failed to apply - System will no longer upgrade
Hi. This issue is really pissing me off, I have ried almost all the fixes, even to the point of booting and copying a Stage3 tarball over the running system and doing a Stage3 Install.

There's also some simple sh-scripts for emulating --keep-going functionality for earlier portage versions. I can't remember any specific names, but I'm sure google should be able to help here. If the problem is specific to this exact version of package (gmp usually builds, but 4.3.1 fails) and the update itself is not critical to you (like when you don't even know what it'll bring) then you can just ignore it altogether - there's a good chance 4.3.2 or 4.4.0 or whatever-next-version-is will compile cleanly. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Thanks Philip, I also noticed that 'konqueror' works fine, so I changed the FB menu accordingly. Apwal looks cool, I will give it a spin (although I am conditioned to years of using the FB right-click menu). The problem remains though with most menus and submenus in KDE applications; e.g. right-click on a file in Konqueror, then 'Open With' and there are no applications in the popup to select from ... I have to type the application manually. This is a rather significant usability hurdle for me. Any KDE gurus out there? -- Regards, Mick

[gentoo-user] slim login manager issues
Hi all, I'm having some issues with the slim login manager, which suits my very basic needs very well, except from those two things: * When starting, the keyboard doesn't respond quite well. The characters don't show on screen imediately, and sometimes, it gets even worse: it freezes for maybe 1-2 seconds, then the first key i hit gets stuck, which basically means it repeats that caracter a fine dozen of times. * when i have to restart x, slim doesn't restarts itself up, i'm thrown back to basic console login prompt. Any help greatly appreciated. cya.
[gentoo-user] peculiar ppp problem
Hi group, I have been switching my dial-up account between my desktop PC and my netbook eee. Both use identical ppp conf files except the PC uses /dev/ttyS0 and the netbook uses /dev/ttyUSB0(created by the pl2303 driver and a usb/serial connector). I'm using separate but identical USR modems. Both seem to work in that the appropriate LEDs light up on either modem but the log tells a different tale. In the PC: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid ), status = 0x1. Which means I am connected. In the netbook, status =0x0. Which means un-connected. FWIW on the netbook I'm using systemrescuecd-1.2.0, running /root% pon isp on one terminal and attempting to emerge gentoo-sources from a chrooted environment on another terminal which fails, naturally, with 'unable to resolve host address' errors. I've done this often before without problems. Maxim

Has it suddenly become necessary with the latest KDE 3.5.10 ? have you updated from monolithic to split - and missed a couple of packages? Not here. I've updated from monolithic to split (actually removed monolithic and then installed split) years ago. It has been working fine until now - 3.5.10 I seem to have installed kde-base/mimelib, I guess as dependency: kde-base/mimelib Installed versions: 3.5.10(3.5)(20:11:53 06/07/09)(-debug -elibc_FreeBSD) I also tried changing fluxbox for kdm (in case this is a fluxbox WM issue) and restarte X with kdm.

Re: [gentoo-user] slim login manager issues
* Laurent Lejeune (olo...@gmail.com) [08.06.09 19:19]: Hi all, I'm having some issues with the slim login manager, which suits my very basic needs very well, except from those two things: * When starting, the keyboard doesn't respond quite well. The characters don't show on screen imediately, and sometimes, it gets even worse: it freezes for maybe 1-2 seconds, then the first key i hit gets stuck, which basically means it repeats that caracter a fine dozen of times. I have that problem, too. But upstream has an even bigger problem: Maintainer needed. * when i have to restart x, slim doesn't restarts itself up, i'm thrown back to basic console login prompt. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261359 Any help greatly appreciated. cya.

Both new firmware releases above were released in March 2006 according to Lite-On's site. OK - thanks for that Paul. Since the machine is dual boot and I'm in Windows most of the working day this wasn't too difficult. Both drive have had their firmware updated. Still the LDW-411S reads the ISRC's incorrectly. The LTR-48246 looks good though. (It was good before the firmware upgrade also, so actually no change, but the firmware is updated and that's good. In parallel with the efforts on that machine I made headway on another machine - my new MythTV backend server of all things. It's a PowerPC based Mac Mini- 1st generation - with a Matshita drive in it. I started with cdda2wav -paranoia at max speed and it failed. I lowered it to 20, then 16, then 8. Paranoia kept failing. Finally at speed=6 it worked. Armed with that data I used cdrecord to write a new copy and amazingly it worked. Plays just fine in the car. I haven't had time yet to see if an iTunes box picks up cddb data or anything like that but at least it worked on the car. If there are other problems hopefully I can get those worked out soon. I started a similar test using the LTR-48246 with another CD-R that I haven't been able to copy. Using paranoia so far 16x and above failed, I'm trying 8x now. Anyway, it seems I'm making some headway. I really appreciate your and Jeorg's help! Thanks! Cheers, Mark
