[gentoo-user] format ipod shuffle as fat32?
I just got an ipod shuffle, 1gig, for free. Apparently it has different partitions for music/data and must by synced with iTunes to a specific machine? Err, is that so? If so, can I just format the darn thing and use if for mp3's? -Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] IP Masquerading hardware, crossover versus hub
I want a setup such as at http://www.fs-security.com/docs/pics/complexnat.png and am reading http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/index.html to that end. However, there are just two machines, the gateway and a secondary. There's also a diagram at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ipmasq-background2.5.html. The gateway (?) is arrakis, the other machine is geidi_prime. Arrakis has a wireless connection, so geidi_prime needs to connect via arrakis for the internet. The two computers will probably be 20+feet apart. Would it make more sense to use a hub or crossover cable? thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks all, yes, the telnet is working :)
Just a few minutes ago it wasn't, but I played around with the hosts
file. I don't understand why it's working now and not before because
I'm still using a FQDN which I was using from the beginning. However,
I changed the arrangement of a few things:

[gentoo-user] leafnode and xinetd.conf
I'd crosspost this from news.softwear.readers, but I don't have
leafnode configured yet ;)
Here is a sample /etc/xinetd/leafnode entry. The entry in the server
field has to point to your locally installed leafnode executable.
Dependent on the installation, this executable may not reside in
/usr/sbin but elsewhere (e.g. /usr/local/sbin if you installed
leafnode from the source code).
service nntp
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= news
server = /usr/sbin/leafnode
log_on_failure += USERID
}
http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/wuerzburg/faq.html#4
How do I know where leafnode is, please? I can create a file

Thing is, I'm multi-posting :(
Over in news.softwear.readers there's a thread, so I'm not sure how to

X screen to use. Use this options to override the
screen part of the DISPLAY environment variable.
--sync
Make X calls synchronous. This slows down the program considerably.

-iconic

-setenv var=value
Tells the main application to perform the equivalent of
C-shell setenv var value.
-tempFile
Indicates files listed on the command line are temporary files
and should not be put in the recent file list. The document
title will be the title in the pdf document, instead of the
filename.
-tempFileTitle title
Same as -tempFile, except the title is specified.
-toPostScript [options] pdf_file ... [ps_dir]
-toPostScript [options] -pairs pdf_file_1 ps_file_1 ...
-toPostScript [options]
Converts the given pdf_files to PostScript.
In the first form, if the last file specified is a directory,
then all preceding files will be converted to PostScript
and the generated PostScript files will be placed into ps_dir.
If a directory is not specified, then the PostScript files
will be placed in the same directory as the original file.
In the second form, the file list contains pairs, each
consisting of a PDF filename and a corresponding PostScript
filename.
The third form specifies a filter, reading a PDF file from
standard input and writing the PostScript file to standard
output.
Note: When using -toPostScript it must be the first argument
passed in on the command line.
The following are valid options for the conversion of PDF to
PostScript:
-binary - emit binary PostScript where possible
-start int - identify the first page in the document to be
converted (default is the first page of the document)
-end int - identify the last page in the document to be
converted (default is the last page of the document)
-optimizeForSpeed - emit PostScript such that all fonts are
emitted once at the beginning of the document. This
results in faster transmission times and smaller
PostScript documents but requires more PostScript printer
virtual memory.
-landscape - rotate the pages to print landscape
-reverse - reverse
[gentoo-user] screen flickers/static
I recently switched from fedora to gentoo, it's a dual boot system. Never in Fedora, not in windows, but in gentoo, I get screen flickers/static. It's not a hardware problem as just a little bit ago I was in windows, no problem. The connections to the monitor and so forth are fine. When I type in, for instance, this window (gmail in firefox) the screen flickers with each keystroke. Also, if I'm in the terminal window, for gnome, and type, same thing. Perhaps flicker is a bad description. To the nake eye a series of horizontal lines flash, about one or two per key stroke.

[gentoo-user] addusr (gentoo v. fedora)
Pardon, but I'm not clear on this command, apparently. Coming from fedora, I could just create a user, change the password, login, and everything would be set. However, gentoo doesn't create /home/user_name ? No problem, I created that directory. However, startx as that user gives errors. I can capture those errors, but apparently I'm going about this the wrong way. ? I also tried creating a user from gnome but ran into the same problem. Right now I'm running as root :( thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] is DHCP required when using two NIC's?
I have two NIC's, one which is built into the mother board and one which is recently installed (this is on a dual boot system). before installing the second NIC I was able to configure an 802.11b/g network adapter from windows, and everything would run fine under linux. after putting in the new NIC on this particular computer, that's not happening. So, I'm thinking of configuring the network adapter from linux. because there are two NIC's is it now required to set up a DHCP software daemon (if I have that right)? thanks, Thufir the hardware: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;169289 http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/manual_k7s.html http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=WL-330glangs=09 http://www.dlink.ca/product.php?PID=124 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] plain-vanilla ethernet; do brands matter?
I urgently need a second ethernet (RJ-45 telephone-looking type) NIC in my computer, which is about a year old, el cheapo but with USB 2.0, so decent for my needs (sorry, don't have mother board details at the moment). the local store is willing to install a SMC one for a good price. my only concern is the brand. ethernet is very well understood and I just need plain-vanilla, but I don't want to have to fiddle with anything, configuring hardware or whatever, if the hardware doesn't run well under linux. does the brand matter, or will anything that says ethernet fit the bill? I'll be plugging a telephone adapter into one of the NIC's for VOIP, the other NIC provides the internet connection (via an asus 802.11b adapter which plugs into an RJ-45 port). pardon, but the need for VOIP is urgent and great, so researching this well doesn't seem to be an option. thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] installing to VFAT partition
I'm looking at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=2#doc_chap3 and have a few simple questions. currently I have a dual boot system, with fedora core 3 and windows 2000. will gentoo show the different partitions and ask which ones to install on? will it show VFAT, NTFS and ext3? thanks, Thufir -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
