A couple of things that I have *not* done is build gobject-introspection or all the gstreamer plugins (I've just got the base plugins installed). The version of gstreamer is 0.10.36. I didn't think that gstreamer was really needed if I was using vlc. I can certainly go back and build those, but wanted to see if anyone had some insight into this issue. -- Bruce You don't really need introspection outside of GNOME nor you need GStreamer plugins if you use GStreamer for playback which you don't as you said you use VLC for that. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

My purpose is avoiding any MTA server. Does a solution exist? Mutt can be configured to fetch pop3. Although, you may find looking into fetchmail + procmail to be useful. To send mail, I would recommend msmtp, although there are other good small smtp programs out there. With fetchmail/procmail/msmtp, it is possible to avoid using a full blown MTA like qmail, sendmail, etc. which probably is overkill for a desktop linux system. best of luck, ae -- http://elian001.wordpress.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: [blfs-support] A bootscript
Jean-Philippe MENGUAL wrote: Hi, II plan using bitlbee or prosody. But these servers cannot be run classically and easily. For example, for bitlbee, it seems I need run the server as bitlbee user, while he doesn't exist. Do you have some experience about this kind of software? How can I run a daemon as a specific user (instead of root)? Are there bootscripts examples? Generally a server like bind drops privileges and changes to the specified user internally. However, you can probably start a server from root with something like: su - someuser -c my-daemon 21 /dev/null -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

[blfs-support] Wifi
Hi, Before starting a new LFS (and help actually the project I hope, beyond sranslations), I try eliminating all things which made me suspend so far. Among others I've already mentioned in other threads, I've WiFi I don't find convinient, but probably because I don't know. My purpose is having the same behavior than on Debian. There, in /etc/network/interfaces, you put: auto wlan1 iface wlan1 inet dhcp wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf Then, when you start the network service, it ifups all the interfaces, including wlan1 and enables wpa_supplicant automatically and connects to an available network among these in wpa_supplicant.conf. On my LFS, I had to start the computer, once connected go as root and run wpa_supplicant manually, then setting up wlan1 interface. Does a mechanism exist in LFS to have the same as Debian? Should I write some script? So far bootscripts I tried didn't give the same efficient result.

Let me mention that there are several graphical mail clients that do a pretty good job: thunderbird, seamonkey, kail, just to name three. My preference is seamonkey and there is no need for a mail server of any kind on the system. I do understand that some experienced folks prefer text oriented mail clients. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Should I write some script? So far bootscripts I tried didn't give the same efficient result. We do need a capability for wifi. I'd write the script myself if I had a way to test it. There is a capability in the ifup program to run multiple services, e.g. SERVICE=wifi dhcp should run the program /lib/services/wifi followed by /lib/services/dhclient (or dhcpcd). Alternatively, the script could use SERVICE=wifi ipv4-static We would need to look at both wpa_supplicant and wireless-tools and add a script (or scripts) to add the service(s). The kernel seems to have support for Cisco/Aironet, Atmel, and Intersil Prism2/2.5/3 wireless chipsets. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: [blfs-support] Mesa-7.8.2 compile fails
Resolved. When I went to my favorite local source for source, Oregon State's Open Source Lab's Gentoo distfiles, they had libdrm-2.4.20, but not 21. Should be close enough, I thought. Wasn't. But now I find Python's a prereq for Mesa/Gallium install. 8-( So, off to install Python!
