Don't quote me on this, because, I don't know for sure if it already exists (I do know for sure that not all CDs have mp3s and oggs on them), but it would be perfectly possible to develop a konqueror plug-in that automagically presented your CD tracks to you as mp3's and oggs and ripped them for you, making it look as though these were already on your cd for you.

Re: [gentoo-user] How many people use KDE?
KDE and GNOME, from a user perspective, are about identical, except that KDE has a couple more bells and whistles. Now, if you're hacking code, it comes down to which windowing API you want to use. Of course, the user has the libraries for all of the popular ones loaded anyway, so, again, it doesn't matter much. I think that more distributions come with KDE set as the default, so, probably KDE just based on that, unless Solaris has a much larger user base than I think that it does.

[gentoo-user] PPTP + MPPE + pptpconfig + Kernel 2.6.15 + ndiswrapper - unstable connectivity
Hi, I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.15, enabling MPPE so I could connect to my campus network's VPN. I'm using pptpconfig to set up the connection.

I normally use 1600x1200 which works - mostly. Things to look for are jittery displays, missing edges, and no screen etc. The cure? - back the resolution down to something the projector is happy with. I find that specs saying a projector will do a particular high resolution rather rubbery - the older the projector the less likely it will be happy at a high res. xrandr or one of the desktop applets can be used to change the resolution on the fly. if the projector doesn't come on, I go to 1024x768 and work up until we are both happy.

Re: [gentoo-user] Ati Linux Proprietary Driver
I, humbly, must disagree. ATI's drivers have been far behind. The Radeon drivers, rather than the fglrx ones, fall short on many fronts. The ATI fglrx drivers, have been behind since I got this card. You still can't run composite and dri together. Buying an ATI card for a Linux box is not a good decision. Go with nVidia, at least their drivers work. I've thought of buying an nVidia card for this notebook for months because, frankly, ATI hasn't been taking care of the matter, and won't in the forseeable future.

Benny -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Hi. I have a similar question. My Laptop (Toshiba Satellite A70) does have SVideo Out, and I really need that to work. I saw on the ATI site that their propriatary Linux drivers were not for notebooks. Is that true, and is there an extra package (open source) I could emerge for Open Source support on SVideo? For the record, its an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000. Thanks!!! __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [gentoo-user] More Netbeans emerge woes
I think that there is a circular dependency. If you try that, it tries to emerge xalan, which then fails with the same error.

Maybe you can drop the jar into /opt/${jdk}/jre/lib/ext. Otherwise, because
of security constraints, you probably need to load the jar from a url inside
the html.

[gentoo-user] NetBeans/Eclipse Java 1.5
Hey, Is it possible to compile NetBeans or Eclipse from ebuilds using Java 1.5? -- Justin W. Hart -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] NetBeans/Eclipse Java 1.5
Ok, let me recap my build steps, as it seems as though I am unable to compile either of these apps. emerge sun-jdk-1.5.0.03.ebuild emerge netbeans: NetBeans 3.5.1 builds fine, however, I'm interested in trying a later version. emerge netbeans-4.0.ebuild export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 a program called BeanShell freaks out during compilation, regarding an ambiguous type. emerge eclipse-sdk: Again, it attemts to build BeanShell Apparently, it was exporting ACCEPT_KEYWORDS that caused the issue. With that set, it tried to emerge a later version of BeanShell, that does not compile. 1.3.0 compiles fine, and it looks like my stuff will all build now.
