[gentoo-user] Sorta OT: cant connect ipad to a courier imap ssl server
I am having a problem connecting an ipad via ssl to a gentoo courier imap ssl server. Its working fine with gentoo/evolution but I get a segfault in the server when the ipad tries to connect: couriertls[12283]: segfault at ec9c78e ip 4c144feb sp bf95557c error 4 in libc-2.12.2.so[4bfff000+183000] Ive rebuilt most of the packages involved and getting nowhere. Can an ipad use a courier imap server over ssl? Theer are a lot of bugs over the years for both courier and apple IOS and the only solution Ive seen thats said to work is turn off ssl. The ipad does work fine without ssl! I am currently travelling and my laptop works fine over ssl and also via an openvpn connection which software is apparently not available for the ipad. Can anyone offer a solution - even some way to set a static route on the ipad to connect to the tunnel running on the laptop would work. I have used RIP from the router to tell the ipad the routes in the past - but I dont have access to the router here to set up RIP :( - and of course I can find any RIP implementation for the ipad to allow it to read the laptops RIP routing updates :( Snookered!

Oh, I should use RV710, that is really a long distance from R600/R700.So should I add RV710_rlc.bin into External firmware blobs ?

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo location for squirrelmail attachments
I ran squirrelmail/configtest.php and realized I don't have an attachment directory set up for Squirrelmail: ERROR: Attachment dir (/var/local/squirrelmail/attach/) does not exist!

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo location for squirrelmail attachments
I ran squirrelmail/configtest.php and realized I don't have an attachment directory set up for Squirrelmail: ERROR: Attachment dir (/var/local/squirrelmail/attach/) does not exist! I don't even have a /var/local/. Would a good Gentoo'er create the directory in that location? Is this a new installation of Squirrelmail or an existing one? When you install Squirrelmail you're supposed to (last time I did so, which is admittedly a long time ago) run a setup program (it uses curses / text-menus). That asks what kind of IMAP server you're going to be connecting to (it works with all of them, but optimises itself for different ones), and the naming convention for Trash / Deleted Items, Drafts c on your server. I would have thought paths like this would be configured during this setup stage. I'm pretty sure it's safe to rerun this setup program at any time. Yes, it can be rerun at any time. The script is in the webroot where you installed squirrelmail and is called configure. Simply run that, then select option 4 (General Options). The directories you want to check/change are the first 2. That is the script which sets the location of the attachment directory, which I think is what you meant. I could be wrong but I think Stroller was referring to a script that actually creates the directory. - Grant

I'm not sure. There's probably a policy that says one of two things: 1. Ebuilds should by default set up everything as securely as possible, or 2. Ebuilds should not mess with upstream I've honestly never used Gentoo's webapp stuff; it confuses the hell out of me.

[gentoo-user] AVCHD on Gentoo
Hello, Background: Well it's time for a new camcorder rig. My old sony (sr42) allowed me to mount the hard drive and copy the files around the net using standard linux commands cp or scp very cool even if not intended. I would then plug the usb cable into the shoe (cradle for the camera) into the xp pc and use the one touch button sony software to burn a dvd. Nice and simple. A raw copy of the mp4 files on a linux system, and burned DVDs that just worked everywhere. Point kaffine to a dir, and it auto plays the files in sequence, like a movie. Simple and cool. enter blueray and MP4-AVC NOW. AVCHD is the camera version of H.264. I guess I need to burn these to blueray to keep the high res (HD 1920 x1080) wide screen format. How do folks process this sort of video and what software do you use? What camcorders? Do you burn the blueray disc on a gentoo system? If you use PC software, what is the best to use? Move the finished movie over to a linux system for storage and replay; any issues? Any discussion is welcome, as I really want a Gentoo centric solution to using a high end camcorder. I'm looking at Sony gear just cause I have an sony tripod that may not even work with the newer sony cameras Sony HDR-CX550V (low end) and up (Sony NEX-VG10), but other suggestions are most welcome. Recording on to the linux multimedia server is paramount for me. If I have to use DOZ to process the video, I can live with that, but would prefer to do the post processing of the H.264 files on Gentoo. My target applications is sports recording, particularly basketball games in high resolution, so any advice on wide-angle issues is also of keen interest to me. James

The first time you were missing CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR, it should point to /lib/firmware if you've emerged radeon-ucode. Yes,that's right, when I checked my .config file I found that CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIRis /firmware, then I corrected it and emerge xorg-server and twm.Command X -configure executed successfully , it did generate /root/xorg.conf.new.After that I used X -config /root/xorg.conf.new , then screen turned black andOS can't response to any input.Then I cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf and startx,but the result didn't change, was OS crashed? See if you can access it using ssh from another PC. Then check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any error messages. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -j, make -j and make -l
Quick update...I now have two of these things set up in a distcc cluster with my Phenom 9650. ~530 packages in 228m 34s. There's an even larger initial explosion of parallel emerge jobs, but it spreads out very nicely...I may have to increase the -j parameter in MAKEOPTS. I'm also not certain if distcc is properly deferring jobs to the local host, but I got the impression the local machine was getting a doubled workload when I had 127.0.0.1 in/etc/distccd/hosts.

This one has already taken about 240 minutes. At least it's finished building Chromium, now; I hope it doesn't still need to build gcc. It's at 488/493.

Re: [gentoo-user] can one tell me: gentoo vs opensuse
By Lorenzo Badieri: [...] My high school was centered around humanities/classical studies: ancient greek, latin, philosophy; after high school, I managed to get into MED SCHOOL. So, no computer science/informatics at all. However, I was really curios about computers, and I messed up my family's desktop pc a couple of times :) [...]

The lines were truncated and i had to guess what would be displayed without truncation. ;) Maybe there is a way of horizontal scrolling which i had not found. links uses [] for horizontal scrolling. I also like how it handles tables. But: I recommend to install all four (or at least lynx, links and w3m), as all have shortcomings/quirks and advantages (e.g. when dumping html as text results vary and with what options you can tune the result).
