[gentoo-user] ProjectX 0.82.1.0 running under 2005.0 ~x86 ?
Hi, I recently upgraded ProjectX to 0.82.1.0. Unfortunately now I get the error message: java.lang.Exceptions: commons-net library not accessible! see readme.txt [ii] ensure the correct location/classpath, related to the executed .jar at net.sourceforge.dvb.projectx.common.X.main(Unknown Source) Looking into the readme it says that the following libraries are required on this place from the V 0.82. 0 on, related to the executed .jar: - lib/commons-net-1.3.0.jar (compiled with JDK 1.2.2) *) - lib/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar (compiled with JDK 1.2.2) *) ... *) further informations and newer versions (mostly compiled with JDK 1.4.2) you'll find at: 'jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi', look for 'Commons Net' and 'ORO' - using newer lib's possibly requires an update of the 'build.bat' and 'M ANIFEST.MF' ! Well, here is what I tried: - re-emerged commons-net and jakarta-oro (my system has jdk 1.4.2.01 running) NOK - re-emerged projectx NOK - projectx.jar is located in /usr/share/projectx/lib. I start projectx in /usr/share/projectx/lib with the following command line java -jar projectx.jar So I copied both files to /usr/share/projectx/lib/lib/commons-net-1.3.0.jar /usr/share/projectx/lib/lib/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar NOK - copied the files to /usr/share/projectx/lib/commons-net-1.3.0.jar /usr/share/projectx/lib/jakarta-oro-2.0.8.jar NOK The funny thing is that from strace output the stat64 command shows that the files are found (but maybe they are still in the wrong location). Does it make a huge difference for projectx if the libraries are compiled with java 1.4.2.01 instead of 1.2.2 ? As I'm a java user (not programmer), I would assume that something needs to be done to get projectx with the newly compiled packages to work (at least I assume that from the readme-text).

Well I am now officially confused. I have found a way that means I can get by with the system as it is, not ideal of course as I would prfer to understand why and what the prolem is rather than just get around it. I have now found that if I initiate a transfer using a command such as cp on the gentoo machine to copy a file to the XP machine on a directory that is mounted on the gentoo then the speeds increase vastly. root transfer from genstu -- xp 366Mb 66 secs [which equates to approx 46Mbps] XP -- XP 366Mb 43secs [which equates to approx 71Mbps] eg. For clarity Gentoo fs /home/movie/testfile.avi ---[366Mb file] /mnt/NEWSTU/transferdump [XP directory mounted Samba on genstu] cp /home/movie/testfile.avi /mnt/NEWSTU/transferdump [66 secs] Using drag and drop from XP machine copying same file from genstu to XP --[Time in sxcess of 12 mins at least] I suspect that I am missed something fundamental about the way files transfer between file systems using samba or even the way in which that same trnsfer is initiated.

[gentoo-user] After switching to udev partitions no longer mount automatically
Hi, Does udev somehow not support mounting by label? We've had a system using devfsd with a user partition mounted at /home/herb for a long time. (18 months) Everything has been fine. The user partition has always mounted correctly. We recently switched to udev and the system has been through some reboots and has mounted fine until today. As of today it appears that they no longer do.

[gentoo-user] Building and using binary packages with emerge/portage
Since I'm on a slowish system, I'm thinking of building and using binary packges through emerge. However, I'd like to know what, if any, meta-information is in the packages. For any out there that are unclear, I'm not talking about binary (*-bin) ebuilds, I'm refering to binary packages created through quickpkg, emerge -b, or emerge -B. Do these packages remember what CHOST they were built for? So, if I change my CHOST or move the packages to a different machine, will emerge ignore the packages that are not relevant? Do these packages remember what version of libc or gcc they were built with, if it is relevant? [Perl and Python packages would probably not need this information; ditto with Java packages compiled into bytecode (e.g. with javac) and not natively (e.g. with gcj).] Again, this would be so that emerge would ignore package that wouldn't work on the current system (if the system changed or packages were moved). Do these packages remember what relevant use flags were set? Even though they aren't a volitile as when I was first using gentoo, I do still tweak my use flags. If I change them I wouldn't want to use a package that was affected by the change. Is there relevant documentation on this? I know 'man portage' and 'man emerge' fairly well, but they are a bit vague when it comes to binary packages. I'll gladly RTFM if I knew a good one.

Re: [gentoo-user] Building and using binary packages with emerge/portage
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-hppa.xml?part=2chap=3 By definition, prebuilt packages are compiled binaries (if there ever were a redundant phrase...). Compiled programs use the CHOST they're compiled with. If it's a generic one that your system supports, then it'll work on your system. Constrastingly (is that a word?), if you compile, say a program with sse2 optimizations and said program requires it, and you use it on a a system that doesn't have sse2 (like an AMD K6-2), it won't work.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: OT - Need help setting up Gentoo to access digital camera
Try the gphoto web site and you will see this staring you in the face: http://www.gphoto.org/news/ in short support was added for your camera in 2.1.5. The latest gphoto2 in portage stable is 2.1.4, but 2.1.5 is in ~x86. I suggest you try that, after searching bugs.gentoo.org for any major problems. You can get a list of supported cameras with gphoto2 --list-cameras|grep -i argus, which on version 2.1.4 returns: [EMAIL PROTECTED] movies $ gphoto2 --list-cameras|grep -i argus Argus DC-100 Argus DC-1500 Argus DC-1510 Argus DC-2000 Argus DC-2200 Once you have 2.1.5 installed it should be a matter of plugging it in and going: mkdir pics cd pics gphoto2 -P [1] Alternatively, if it has memory cards (as opposed to its own built-in non removable memory) you can buy a card reader - they are cehap and solve all such problems. [1] if you get permission problems there is a very good section in the gphoto2 online docs about setting up USB to solve the problem. http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html On Sat, 28 May 2005 16:03:15 -0500 Michael Sullivan wrote: On Sat, 2005-05-28 at 14:39 -0600, Sarpy Sam wrote: On 5/28/05, Uwe Klosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You should go through the USB HOWTO and SUBMOUNT HOWTO.

It's needs the device - /dev/hdxx defined somewhere. Normally this is defined in /etc/fstab. I'd guess that somewhere along the way, the labels were defined in a devfs conf file on the system, thus it appeared devfs was auto-magically working with labels. You could probably define labels for udev if you really wanted to. Partition labels are placed on partitions when you make the file system: mke2fs -j -L TVstorage /dev/sdb2 (Assumes a file system that supports labels.) Then you can read the label using e2label /dev/sdb2 When booting if the fstab file has LABEL=TVstorage /TVdata then it mounts the first partition it finds with the lable TVstorage at the mount point /TVdata Just add the partitions to /etc/fstab - /dev/sda3 / (and the rest of the line) /dev/sda8 /home/herb (and the rest of the line) /dev/sda6 /usr/portage (and the rest of the line) /dev/sdb2 /TVstorage (and the rest of the line) Bob This is, unfortunately, a very bad idea for removable media.

[gentoo-user] [OT] tips on my 1st try at iptables?
I've spent the weekend attempting to mold an old p3 400mHz machine into a firewall/router so I can replace my current linksys box. Basically, I read the howtos at netfilter.org and the gentoo-home-router-howto and put together the following script for loading my rules. This meets the functionality I need at this point in the project (ssh access from inside and outside, port forwarding, and masquerading), but I'm not well versed on security concerns so I'm hoping a few experienced users could point out redundancies and potential security issues.

I tried setting up rsync, but it seems it As far as I know, flexbackup can't do that. In order to do that you should use some tool that is based on something like diff, but it is not the way flexbackup works. I don't know any tools that do that. Probably, if you know a little shell programming, you could try to make an automated dump of your database, make a diff with the dump of the day before and save the outcome (i.e. only the differences). Then you could use flexbackup to save the difference. 2- I don't want each backup iteration in a separate file, I'm interested on incremental backups to save bandwidth, not to save old files, is it possible to end up having one archive for each backup ? Flexbackup's incremental backup only stores files that have changed since the last backup, so the old files are not stored again and again, unless you change them. I'm not sure I got your question, though. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome Wave Cleaner question
As for overall installation, more common practice is to disable OSS/ALSA in a kernel and install alsa-[drivers|lib|utils|oss...] and so on. I have tried the gwc few months ago, and it has now alsa support too (you may use oss also, as alsa has oss simulation).
