[gentoo-user] TeXlive with non-English hyphenation?
Hello,
Does someone use TeXlive and has encountered and solved
non-English hyphenation problems? I have tried both babel.sty
with the german/germanb options and german.sty from the
package texlive-langgerman, always giving the command
\selectlanguage{german}
babel.sty gives
Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for
(babel)the language `German'
(babel)I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0
instead.
german.sty gives
german -- \language number for German undefined, default 255 used,
german -- Please read gerdoc.tex how to install hyphenation patterns.
german -- \language number for Austrian undefined, default 255 used.
german -- \language number for French undefined, default 255 used.
Many thanjks for any hints!
Regards,
ralf

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Re: Ghosting a Ext3 partition
Another way to do (I do it actually) Is to get a drive with ext3 partition for example Create a directory for your backup and use Rsync to copy any file with differential feature. First time could take a long time, next time are very fast. To backup everythink on the system, I run the single use mode, It kill all the application runned ... so after, I mount bind root fs and over sub fs in tmp dir, mount my backup dir in another tmp dir and run mirror with rsync Fast, excellent, could easyly be migrate on another kind of server, or could restore only some filesystem. It's good !

[gentoo-user] Gnome CD automount fails without error
Hi guys I'm using GNOME on gentoo and I like the behavior where usb drives will pop up a nautilus window on plugin. I always expected this behavior on CDs as well, but for some reason, I only noticed today (after quite a while of using, since I haven't plugged in a CD for quite a while) that it doesn't work. So I've been investigating a bit on some things to check. 1) my cdrom mount point. the cdrom mount point is owned by root.cdrom and has rwx,rx,- permisions All relevant users are members of the root.cdrom group. however this seems to me completely irrelevant since as far as i recall, gnome-volume-manager should automatically just create a mount point for the cdrom. 2) my fstab entry I've tried without an fstab entry, and with. When I work with an entry, it looks like this: /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 users,noauto 0 0 again, this looks irrelevant to me since my alternate system (ubuntu) uses almost the same fstab with just root partitions switched around and the automount seems to work fine. 3) plugdev membership. all relevant users are members of plugdev. plugdev seems to properly create USB devices when things are pluggied in. 4) device file my hard disks are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb my cdrom is in /dev/hdb cdrom permissions give me [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /dev/hdb -l brw-rw 1 root cdrom 3, 64 Mar 6 2008 /dev/hdb this is i think statically created by udev. 5) kernel and stuff [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -r 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 6) gnome-volume-manager -d no (runs gnome-volume-manager in the foreground) is completely silent. 7) The CDs themselves.

It's Intel's attempt to implement application level threading in silicon and it simply does not work in practice. I've yet to benchmark any reasonably complex app that runs better with hyper-threading enabled. In fact when I still worked support at a certain database vendor we simply refused to support any of our apps running on machines where HT was enabled.

Re: [gentoo-user] Ghosting a Ext3 partition
Hi Mark,
on Tue, Mar 04, 2008 at 05:39:12PM +1300, you wrote:
{Ghost functionality]
I actually think that 'dump' will do what you want... provided you can
choose a time when the machine is not busy (should be easy if it's your
desktop!). You have to do 1 dump per filesystem, but many desktop
installations only consist of / (+ maybe /boot) anyway. Also dump of a 80Gb
system that only uses 5Gb will produce a 5Gb image Also it can do
incremental an cumulative backups.
Some friends of mine use Amanda to backup their (Redhat/Centos) servers,
that may worth looking at too.
Amanda is very versatile but it can be a bitch to configure and is IMHO
only really worth it for larger installations with at least more than
one machine and preferably a backup server. But it can also use dump(1)
internally. I didn't really follow the thread but it seems dump has a
problem with busy file systems? I used amanda with dump on several
machines for a few years and never had any so it should be fine for a
desktop.
One method I used for getting the image size down (but which is no good
on a live system) was to use dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy bs=1M to quicky
write a file of zeroes that would fill up all free blocks, then dd the
whole partition through gzip that would just compress away the free
blocks. Works fine for install images but only when the disk is not
mounted r/w during imaging.
cheers,
Matthias

[gentoo-user] Looking for utility to send X low level events
I am back to my on-again, off-again task of trying to get firefox to print, this time I have thought of sending a running instance various X events to fake a URL, the print command, print file name, etc. I found a few old and crufty programs to record and playback macros, but they don't work well and haven't been updated in years. Does anyone know of any programs that manipulate X events on a low level? I figure it will need to either record and play back events, or let me describe them in an editable file. I don't know much about the low level X structure, but if there is some way to identify and choose event handlers (main window, popup window, menus, buttons) by name, that would be superb.

[gentoo-user] date and gentoo running under vmplayer
Hi all - it's been awhile This past week I've set up Gentoo running in a VM built by http://www.easyvmx.com/ under a XP host. Installation and configuration went fine. I normally leave the VM running when I walk away from the machine, but when I return, time is way off. Shutting down Gentoo the VM rebooting solvles the problem, as vmplayer must initially get the date and time from the host, but it sure doesn't keep it right after that. I tried openntpd, but it kept setting the time further and further off. I live in Fort Collins, Co and my locatime is set correctly (America/Denver). This is my 1st time playing with VM's. Is this common? Is there any way around it? I'm not really sure why openntpd didn't work. Any and all help appreciated. Thanks, festus -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] date and gentoo running under vmplayer
Hi, What could also help in this is installing vmware-workstation-tools[1] in your Gentoo instance. Not directly related to your specific problem, but I've been running RHEL 5 x86_64 in a VM on a CentOS 5 i386 host. The time in RHEL flows slowly, and soon the clock is way behind. I have tried setting up ntpd to keep the time in sync with the host machine, but it crashed silently right away. To work around this, I have a cron job that sets the correct time with the ntpdate command every 2 minutes. It's good enough for my needs. [1] http://gentoo-portage.com/app-emulation/vmware-workstation-tools Good luck!
