[gentoo-user] ssh + emerge = X11 connection rejected
Hi, normally I log into a machine via ssh -Y root@ and perform some updates via emerge. This has been working for hundreds of packages. But with dev-python/matplotlib (-0.90.1) this fails with X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). But when I log in locally there is no such problem. What could be the reason?

All IMAP commands and responses are prefixed by a 4-character string and a space. This way a command can have multiple responses and multiple commands can be sent before the response for the first is received. (The client matches responses to commands based on matching prefixes.)

I am.
Here's a script that will dump a worksheet as a csv. Save, chmod a+x, and
invoke like name_of_script name_of_excel_file worksheet_number csv_file
(e.g. ./convertxls price_list.xls 0 price_list.csv):
#! /usr/bin/ruby
require 'parseexcel'
wb = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.parse(ARGV.shift)
ws = workbook.worksheet(ARGV.shift.to_i)
ws.each { |row|
puts row.collect { |cell|
'' + cell.to_s.gsub(//, '') + ''
}.join(',')
}
Clearly, all the heavy lifting is done by that library, which you will need
to run this script.

If anybody finds something that will read the new OpenXML document
that the new $MS's is churning out it would be helpful, theres a tool
on sourceforge to convert to openoffice format... but its a windows
only app...so whats the point! :[
OO doesn't do it either last i checked.
I find it ironic that microsoft release their first 'non-proprietary'
format and its suddenly the only thing around that can process that
non-proprietary data. At least with their old proprietary formats we
could _read_ that

I argued I don't game any more _because_ of the lack of linux games
that were not already bored with. HIstorically, game dev's argument
has been along the lines of 'if they want to game, they'll just use
windows, or get a console'.
What they don't realize, is its possible many of us have simply lost
interest in the gaming community simply because 'just use windows'
isn't really viable for most of us :P

[gentoo-user] No DRI for ATI 9250 and xorg 7.2?
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, ATI basically said screw you to anybody with a 92xx series card. ATI's drivers stopped supporting the r2xx chipsets after version 8.28.8, and that version only works up through xorg 7.1. My ATI based card is only 3 years old, and it's useless if I want to do DRI. OTOH, I've got a 7 year old NVidia card that's still supported. The closed source NV drivers have always just worked for me, and the ATI close-source drivers have always been hard to get installed and flakey once they were installed. Yes I know there are open-source drivers that are supposed to do DRI for the r2xx chipset, but they've got so many rendering issues they're useless. I just tried again with the open-source drivers. Glxgears runs OK, but on the opening screen of ppracer, none of the menu text is rendered. I swear I'll never buy another ATI chipset again. If AMD doesn't straighten out the mess at ATI, I'll switch back to Intel CPUs as well... -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

I usually don't offer my opinion to a rant but I just can't resist this one. I've been using an amd64 cpu on a ATI chipset for a mythtv server for the last two years now. The graphics are a Radeon Express 200G. This system is an absolute joke. Graphics drivers aside, I've never seen a more flaky, worthless motherboard in my life. I've done many a kernel update, only to reboot and sit by the TV for the next half hour while I hit the reset button every minute because the BIOS can't get past checking for RAM modules. It shouldn't take 15-20 minutes to do an 'emerge --sync' on a 64bit AMD 3000. You'd think after two years there would be a bios update to patch this ... My nForce motherboards and GeForce graphics card are in the mail.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo in the workplace
Hi there, This is possibly already answered elsewhere, however I've trolled through google to no avail. I've upgraded my work machine from a Windows 2000 machine to Gentoo (running on a Dell GX520) with VMware running XP, Vista, 2000. Most things run fine, but unfortunately I've had a few problems with things such as Active X pages (i.e. Cisco Call Manager, Infra, etc). I've tried using wine (version 0.9.29) and installing IE however I couldn't find the full installer and we use a proxy here (the installer craps out when trying to set it up within the installer) So I installed ieslinux and tried that - it seems to work and lets me load some pages however they don't all load correctly... infect the majority don't... So I unmasked wine with the x86 keyword and tried both options again with the same results for the first option and ieslinux getting to the same place and stopping (but with text visibility bugs) and so I've now reverted back to wine 0.9.29 and am officially stuck. Firefox doesn't seem to support Active X at all, however there was a plugin for v1.5 which I tried and didn't have any luck with. I've heard you can copy across a entire system32 folder and get wine working better, is this true? I'm a member of transgaming (Cedega) is this worth trying? (Internet Explorer wasn't listen in their database) There are other bugs and issues I'm trying to nut out (like a virtual OS X install, i support Macs unfortunately as part of my role), but at the moment getting ActiveX going is the most critical (as I'm using my old machine or virtuals to do allot of my work) Any thoughts/comments/miracles/donuts or donations would be greatly appreciated.

[gentoo-user] Kernel upgrade, no sound.
Hi, I upgraded my kernel the other day and now I have no sound at all. I have checked Alsamixer and Kmix to make sure it is not muted and it appears to be turned up there. This is lspci: 01:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) I have this built into my kernel: * Emu10k1 (SB Live!, Audigy, E-mu APS) I copied my old .config over and did a make oldconfig but it has the same setup as before. I just don't have any sound at all. I did make sure my speakers are powered on, plugged into the puter and everything I checked says it is unmuted. Maybe I missed one though. The kernel version that works is gentoo-sources-2.6.18-r6, the one that does _not_ work is gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r8 if that will help. I did boot my old kernel, the 18 version, and the sound works fine. If I boot the new 20 version, nothing. Kernel problem or am I missing something? Any ideas? Thanks much for the help.

RE: [gentoo-user] Gentoo in the workplace
Thanks Ken, So what do other people do when they need to use ActiveX? Is there any work arounds etc? Hmmm, its interesting as before now (as I use server, desktop and laptop builds) I couldn't see what was stopping businesses using Linux on their desktops but as there are about 5 internal sites (such as our Helpdesk tool, Cisco Call Manager) which are needed on a daily basis I guess the 'little' things are pretty large obstacles. I guess hopefully in the future such tools will be obsolete as people code for Firefox and IE (without Active X) Cheers, Jason -Original Message- From: Ken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 14 June 2007 3:01 p.m. To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo in the workplace -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Sartorelli, Jason wrote: Hi there, This is possibly already answered elsewhere, however I've trolled through google to no avail.
