 Hi,
 
 Does anyone on this list have experience with java (swing) gui-builders
 and what would you recommend, if so? It seems Netbeans is the only
 option in Portage that I can find, are there other options? I'm looking
 for an easy way to build a reasonably advanced gui.
 
 Best regards

Hi Peter,

I have experiences with Swing UI and I'll suggest NetBeans.

[gentoo-user] Tips for saving power needed...

2012-04-01 Thread Jarry

Hi,

admin of a colo-center keeps complaining my server is going
a little over power-limit (which they have set as ~120W per
24h/avg, while my server needs ~130-135W). So I need to find
a way to save at least those 15W, or I will be moved to
higher tarif (which means higher costs for server-housing).

Before going hard(ware) way, I would like to try first
all possible software solutions. What I tried up to now is
cpufreqd, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y, and spindown. In addition to that
I adjusted fan-speeds to a little lower values and turned
off some unneeded peripherials (in bios).

Is there anything else I could do? Any tips would be greatly
welcomed...

Jarry

Does you cpu support a technique like speed stepping? Then try setting
the scaling governor to ondemand

% modprobe acpi_cpufreq
% echo ondemand  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

This may be working betten than using coufreqd?

Or maybe you could lower the cpu and ram voltage in bios? But this can
cause an unstable system.

don't use cpufreqd? Just use the ondemand cpu governor. Only run services you 
need. If there is graphics hardware make sure the driver knows about power 
saving. An amd card on a virtual terminal needs as much power as an amd card 
in X doing heavy 3d lifting ...

I guess I'll go with that. It's just that it wants to pull in around 100

Oh, well.

Well, I just spent an hour figuring out how to fix that problem :)

I assume your HDMI card is sink number 0 and the analog device is
sink number 1.  That's how it works in my new machine, anyway.

#grep sink /etc/pulse/client.conf 
 default-sink = 1

I changed the 0 to 1 and now everything works normally.  As for any
kde app segfaulting.

Yes, that's a bit of a pain.  I install the binary package from here:
http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html

Running the installer as an ordinary user installs the whole thing in
~/NetBeans and it even updates itself if you want it to.

[gentoo-user] emacs - problem rendering pdf files

2012-04-01 Thread David Relson
G'day,

A few weeks ago I discovered that emacs is no longer rendering pdf
files.  Before, I could open a pdf file and read it using emacs, but no
longer.  

When I open a pdf I get the following messages:

### message #1 ### in buffer that used to show the rendered pdf ###

Welcome to DocView!
 
 
If you see this buffer it means that the document you want to view is
being converted to PNG and the conversion of the first page hasn't
finished yet or `doc-view-conversion-refresh-interval' is set to nil.

For now these keys are useful:

`q' : Bury this buffer.  Conversion will go on in background.
`k' : Kill the conversion process and this buffer.
`K' : Kill the conversion process.\n

### message #2 ### in the emacs status bar ###

DocView: process pdf/ps-png changed status to exited anbormally with
code 127

### end of messages ###

Research shows that both messages come from file 
/usr/share/emacs/23.4/lisp/doc-view.el.  The first messsages is from
function doc-view-buffer-message() and the second is from function
doc-view-sentinel(proc event).

Any suggestions of what's gone missing on my system ???

Thanks.

David

P.S. emacs is still rendering images (jpg, png, tiff, etc).
