Re: [gentoo-user] VQF deprecated?

 Hi,

 I just wan't to know, why software such as amarok don't go way, like
 winamp - more formats available for playing because of plugins? 

Dunno. You should ask the amarok developers why they chose the 
architecture they did. Or you could try gstreamer?

 SO 
 libraries are also dynamic linked, so why I don't have any player for
 VQF format? 

Maybe no-one has written one. It won't be written until someone care 
enough to write it.

 I must emulate Winamp with wine to play VQF of course 
 with better sound quality with DSP plugins like  3D Spatial Sound. My
 god! This is Linux - best operating system on the world, why software
 producers are so closed to world? Wining with Windows is endless
 future. XMMS was playing VQF but XMMS was removed from portage
 because some bugs (what software don't have one). 

XMMS was removed from portage because it was a huge monolithic piece of 
crap. Upstream ABANDONED the project years before, no-one had touched 
the ebuild for ages and no-one was prepared to maintain it. And, just 
to top everything off, it wouldn't build.

 I know that OGG is 
 better, or even MP3 (MPEG-1 Layer 3) but VQF in 80kbps is still
 lossless compresion - MP3 and OGG not, and I like to listen good
 quality music with all tones, even not heared. PS: human ear
 toleration is little part different for different people - MP3 and
 OGG is not good compression for audiophiles.

Mateusz, this is the wrong place to vent your frustrations and have a 
rant. The people here will help you take something that exists and get 
it running. They are not the devs, and no-one here has influence with 
the devs.

I suggest you code the necessary plugins yourself. That's how this best 
operating system in the world got to be the best - someone like you 
needed it to do something and wrote the code to do it.

 The folks who maintain the portage servers will at times remove old

 Hope this explains my comment.

Portage to the rescue!! :-)

Well, eix actually. It comes with a script - eix-test-obsolete - that 
scans your portage config files looking for inconsistencies and 
redundancies, then splits huge amounts of output to the console. One of 
the things it does is find installed ebuilds that are no longer in the 
tree.

This fixes your bind, as you can get copies of those missing ebuilds 
from /var/db/pkg/category/app/*ebuild and copy them to a local 
private overlay where they will stay for posterity

When the kernel says your disk is hd*, then it is a PATA disk. When it
says it's sd*, it could be pretty much everything: PATA (with new libata
driver), SATA, SCSI, USB,...

So I would guess that the LiveCD uses the new libata, while you're using
the old driver. Make sure you compile in the needed PATA drivers for
your chipset (maybe CONFIG_SATA_AHCI works).

What does lspci report?

Yes, you can get more complex blocks, but where it's a simple A blocks B,

[gentoo-user] [OT] NFS through a firewall

Hello,

I'm trying to configure the firewall on a client to allow that client

to get this to work?

Actually since I sent you the response Firefox has crashed one more
time while playing Flash. Indeed, that used to happen more often
before... now I don't really know if it was just a coincidence or not

Are you using pulseaudio? In my case when Firefox crashes the command
line indicates some problem with pulseaudio (can't reproduce right
now), could you run Firefox from the command line and post the crash
message it shows at exit?

Please excuse my possible lack of coherency; I have yet to have any

I had a very similar experience a few weeks back. There's that problem
with the thing where the thing is like hey, Imma use this random
port and then the other thing is like oh no you diint.  So then
they fight about it.  I have debian boxes (against my wishes) and
gentoo boxes in my mix.

 util next crash.

Oh I see, for crash I understood it has closed abnormally, what
happened to you is looks what I would call a freeze =)

So, that makes things a little difficult, as is hard to trace...

 I figure out that the mpd didn't work either when the firefox was
  suspending there, is it possible they cann't work together.

Well that points to the road I was trying to take: sound problem. What
I can't figure out is why it is hanging. Here in my PC, before I
installed pulseaudio, I was unable to hear two sounds from different
sources, because my machine has no hardware mixer, and I user a multi
device to play stereo sounds (upmixing 2.0 to 7.1 stream), but when I
tried to play something in firefox, it just wouldn't play the sound,
but work silently without any  problems.

Do you have an /etc/asound.conf (or ~/.asoundrc) file? Can you post
the contents of it?

[gentoo-user] Really confusing situation

2008-04-11 Thread Michael Sullivan
I do a daily emerge --sync and emerge -avuD world, but today when I did
it, this came up:

camille ~ # emerge -pvuD world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been 
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

app-crypt/gnupg:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.7-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
('installed', '/', 'mail-client/squirrelmail-1.4.10a-r2', 'nomerge')

('installed', '/', 'kde-base/kdepim-3.5.8', 'nomerge')
('installed', '/', 'mail-filter/spamassassin-3.2.1-r1', 'nomerge')
(and 2 more)


It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

  Well, eix actually. It comes with a script - eix-test-obsolete - that

 An unsanitised copy of the bounce message would probably show the problem.

 Does it definitely show the correct email address of a user for
 which A-Plus has a mailbox?

 Can you reproduce the problem telnetting to the A-Plus MX server on port
 25?

 I guess I'll dip my toes in here and admit that I can't figure this out.

 Synopsis:  I've setup Postfix to be a mail out only smtp server. I just
 want it for our Joomla based web pages and our helpdesk to be able to mail
 to users from the local server. The problem is this: I can mail to any
 domain (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc) without problem, but I can't receive
 mail *directly* through our A-plus based mail (the worst!). What happens
 is that A-plus' server rejects the user as unkown even though I know it is
 correct. What really gets my goat is that after that message is returned to
 my server it is then delivered to the A-plus server and thusly shows up in
 my webmail and email client. Below are my configs.

 If I drop the client firewall the mount succeeds.

 Can someone help me figure out what must be put in my iptables script
 to get this to work?


Do you have the option to run nfsv4? It uses only port tcp-2049. That way you 
don't need portmapper (port 111), lockmgr, status, or mountd.

 Oh I see, for crash I understood it has closed abnormally, what

 So, that makes things a little difficult, as is hard to trace...
 
  I figure out that the mpd didn't work either when the firefox was
   suspending there, is it possible they cann't work together.
 
 Well that points to the road I was trying to take: sound problem. What
 I can't figure out is why it is hanging. Here in my PC, before I
 installed pulseaudio, I was unable to hear two sounds from different
 sources, because my machine has no hardware mixer, and I user a multi
 device to play stereo sounds (upmixing 2.0 to 7.1 stream), but when I
 tried to play something in firefox, it just wouldn't play the sound,
 but work silently without any  problems.
 
 Do you have an /etc/asound.conf (or ~/.asoundrc) file? Can you post
 the contents of it?

Are you using pulseaudio? In my case when Firefox crashes the command
line indicates some problem with pulseaudio (can't reproduce right
now), could you run Firefox from the command line and post the crash
message it shows at exit?

2008-04-11 Thread maxim wexler
The good news is that startx works. The bad news is
that the error remains on the login screen.

What I did was to let xorgconfig find my mouse
automatically, option 1, instead of selecting
Microsoft Two Button mouse, option 5, which is what
I'm using.

So, I guess this error is for something else, but why
it doesn't crash the server is beyond me.

 Hi group,
 
 I get this error when I attempt startx. I have a
 legacy AGP Rage128, ATI card and the driver is
 compiled into the kernel to allow for the
 framebuffer.
 
 So far I've emerged vf86-video-ati and then, in
 desperation, xf86-video-vga without success.
 
 I don't see anything else under
 /usr/portage/x11-drivers that would suit.
 
 ati-drivers is for the higher end Radeon products
 isn't it, I mean the newer low-voltage stuff?
 
 There's a few links on the Web to similar problems
 but
 no solutions that I've been able to uncover.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: X (i810) won't start with undefined symbol

2008-04-11 Thread Grant
I'm sorry to bother everybody again but this is really crucial for me.
 Does anyone have any ideas whatsoever?  Do I have a permanently
Xorgless installation?
  

  Might be worth to try the following:
  emerge -tva -D x11-base/xorg-x11 x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810
  revdep-rebuild -i -tva -X

  Also, beware of the 2* series of xf86-video-i810. Personally, I've
  noticed regressions. Might be reasonable to try a pre-2 version, say
  1.7.4.

Personally, I think you're awesome.  1.7.4 did the trick.  Thank you so much.

 If I drop the client firewall the mount succeeds.
 
 Can someone help me figure out what must be put in my iptables script

Accept all incoming and outgoing connections on the client that
originate from or go to the server.  It would look something like this:

iptables -I INPUT -s 134.153.37.55 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -s 134.153.37.55 -j ACCEPT

now make sure those will work with your config before just blindly
setting them up!  

Best of luck!  Hope it works.
