 I don't understand from your links how to mount a usb drive without any
setup?!
autofs requires uuid.
usbdisk - I don't understand how it will help me automount or auto discover
a usb drive.
Can you explain?

 Maybe putting icon on xfce4 desktop.

I'm not familiar with XFCE but there is probably an automounter package
for either the desktop or the file manager.

eix -c -A xfce | grep mount

For a generic solution, try sys-apps/uam

 Yes that true, lots of English words came from old French, and funnily
 some word that were lost goes back into French :)
 But I don't agree, on the origin of Old English it is more a
 germano-celtic language than a latino-greek one. French clearly come
 from Latin and Old Greek, like Spanish or Italian. On the contrary, the
 German language have nearly no roots in Latin and Greek.

I wasn't thinking so far back, but yes, Old English did derive from the 
Angles, Saxons, Jutes and others. The words of theirs that we still use are 
all the little words that no-one ever looks up in a dictionary. I'm not so 
sure about Celtic though; I think there was very little mixing, and nowadays 
the remains of Celtic are in Cornish, Welsh and Irish and Scottish Gaelic, not 
English to any great degree. There ought to be a Breton language descendant of 
Celtic in north-west France as well, and perhaps there is, but I'll have to 
leave that to others.

Before the Normans (whose ancestors were also from Scandinavia!) the major 
invader was the Vikings. Surprisingly, although the place is littered with 
Viking place names, as far as I know few language words survive from that 
period.

There are also many traces of Old German and Dutch, but I still maintain that 
most of the longer words come down from our long and complicated relationship 
with France, with scholastic regulation (if that's the word) according to 
Latin and Greek.

I think what you want if using xfce is 'xfce-extra/thunar-volman'
(http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/thunar-plugins/thunar-volman), it
provides handling(not only automount) for removable devices from
thunar, and is configurable with clicks.



Re: [gentoo-user] problem: frequently auto suspend

2014-05-01 Thread simsilver Lee
@godzil, thanks for your reply!
By trial and error, I found that the service which trigger suspend is
systemd-logind. I have tried reinstalling and uninstalling acpid, but the
problem remains.

  For the suspend after a wakeup, I've a similar problem on my EEEPC
 1000HE, I didn't investigate a lot, but on my case I strongly suspect that
 it is caused by a two process/script that try to manage the same event.

 It does not happen when I press the Sleep button (Fn+F1 if I recall
 correctly) but happen everytime when closing the lid. I remember to had
 lots of problem with ACPI configuration, and some key are still not working
 as expected, anyway, I've may in my case mess with some ACPI script. Maybe
 you could look at this first?

   Hello everyone, I have met a problem recently after once update. My
 laptop suspends automatically after booting up, and suspends on and on
 after wakeup. I have checked up the log and there is no obvious errors. It
 works well on Win7 and Ubuntu Live, and on Gentoo the CPU is about 60 ℃.
 It also works well in single mode, but suspends quickly after I start
 NetworkManager service. And I found that it echo ^@ before the first-time
 suspend in the console.

 I have tried some solutions such as pass pcie_aspm=

 *force to kernel, disable gdm service, none works. Masking
 suspend.target and systemd-suspend.service helps, but I want a better
 solution.*


 *Could someone help me? And what info do I need to attach?*

Re: [gentoo-user] trouble merging gnucash (png16 vs png15)

 One of my machines (amd64) cannot merge gnucash-2.6.1.
 The complaint is that it can't find libpng15.  The system has libpng16.
 
 The build log has 352 occurrences of libpng16 and no occurrences of
 libpng15.
 
 The build log has 2 occurrences of lpng both 15 in consecutive lines.
 libtool: link: [big snip] -lpng15 [big snip]
 [small snip] cannot find -lpng15
 
 I seem to remember a few years ago having to edit pngXX to pngYY, but
 thought those times were definitely over.

The problem is that you have a package that you have not been remerged after 
the update to png16 and those libraries are still linked to png15.

Remove all orphan files of png15. Fix la files: la_file_fixer and 
fix_libtool_files, don't remember which does it so try both. Look at the 
depgraph of gnucash and remerge the ones related to png. If you are not sure 
which pakages to remerge, more is allways safer.
