Re: [gentoo-user] USB stick recognition problem
Hi Helmut, It sounds like there is a problem with the partition table on your USB stick. It might be the consequence of a hardware failure (read or more probably write) at some point. If, as you mention, once you do an fdisk then p, you can use once again your USB stick, then maybe save everything you have on it, then create a new partition table using fdisk on that disk and format the whole thing. Hope that helps, Greg On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 10:43 AM, Helmut Jarausch jarau...@igpm.rwth-aachen.de wrote: Hi, since a few weeks I have a strange effect with my USB stick.

Re: [gentoo-user] tuxonice and suspend-to-ram
Hi Stephan, Frankly, I don't think it would bring anything to you, except maybe the possibility to cancel a suspension on the fly and maybe some check when coming from suspension. I'm using tuxonice only for the suspend to disk, but even there, the kernel has some builtin features that would be sufficient for me (I'm lazy, I don't want to try ;-)). tuxonice is mainly some wrapping scripts that makes the suspension more feature full than the bare kernel provided but in the end, they still use what the kernel provides. In your case, I don't think it's mandatory to use tuxonice. HTH, Greg On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 10:04 AM, Stefan G.

I use the tuxonice-sources for this, back then it was more reliable with my hardware. Usually the ebuild for tuxonice-sources is some weeks later than gentoo-sources. As I am always curious for the latest stable kernel I often run gentoo-sources inbetween (and think to myself I can get by without S2R for a while). Now I have noticed that hibernate-ram works with plain gentoo-sources as well. And it does so without a problem. Fine! Is there any real advantage in using tuxonice here? Pls note that I only use S2R, and never suspend to disk all the disk-related features of tuxonice aren't important to me. Thanks for your opinions, Stefan
Re: [gentoo-user] ZSH: Gentoo-completion...how to modifiy?
Hi, You have 2 choices here. 1. You can change the default terminal colours in you .Xdefaults. As an example, for rxvt-unicode (a.k.a. urxvt), you can put this in you .Xdefaults: ! tangoesque scheme urxvt*background: #11 urxvt*foreground: #babdb6 ! Black (not tango) + DarkGrey urxvt*color0: #00 urxvt*color8: #555753 ! DarkRed + Red urxvt*color1: #ff6565 urxvt*color9: #ff8d8d ! DarkGreen + Green urxvt*color2: #93d44f urxvt*color10: #c8e7a8 ! DarkYellow + Yellow urxvt*color3: #eab93d urxvt*color11: #ffc123 ! DarkBlue + Blue urxvt*color4: #204a87 urxvt*color12: #3465a4 ! DarkMangenta + Mangenta urxvt*color5: #ce5c00 urxvt*color13: #f57900 !DarkCyan + Cyan (both not tango) urxvt*color6: #89b6e2 urxvt*color14: #46a4ff ! LightGrey + White urxvt*color7: #cc urxvt*color15: #ff (This was taken from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdefaults#Terminal_colors, but you can find example all around). I suggest you also to check what colour it outputs by using simple tools like gcolor2 and if you don't like how they go, just change them or check another theme somewhere. I would advise you to keep the type of colours as such: meaning if you want to change the dark yellow and the bright yellow, keep them in the yellow range. Maybe make them a less coloured yellow or more orange-ish, but don't make them green. Programs rely on these 16 colours for their output, at least the numbers, and you could end up with something unreadable (as you suggest in your mail). 2. change your PS1 variable (maybe the easiest) Do echo $PS1 in a terminal, and see where the faulty colour is. Then, change it in your .zshrc file.

I've googled a bit and found these two things: [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/175464 [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/51591 They both refer to problems with hald and acpid entering in conflict. Check if you are using hald. If you are, try stopping it and starting acpid to see if it still gives you the problem. Concerning the fact that the script isn't called, you have to check in your /etc/acpi/event/default. Make sure that you have lines such as: event=.* action=/etc/acpi/default.sh %e Basically, it says that for any event handled by acpi, launch /etc/acpi/default.sh. And in /etc/acpi/default.sh, check for the lid event.

Re: [gentoo-user] Awesome vs Xmonad
Hi Man, I was a huge fan of FVWM (loved the flexibility of it) and I tried to switch to awesome. After trying a bit to understand how the configuration script work (about three days in my spare time), I understood how awesome (this one was easy :-p) this wm is. You can do pretty much what you want as the configuration script, which is using the Lua script language, can load system commands (such as conky, even thought I couldn't get it to work, but used native lua scripts with the wicked.lua library) or run native code (I use this to see the disk space, mpd songs, battery life, cpu usage with a graph, ...). One of the other things I really like in awesome, it's the fact that you can mix up tiling windows and floating ones. You can define, for certain window titles in the configuration file, the fact that they are floating. Then, when you start them, they appear as floating windows and not tiled as the rest of them. This is pretty much interesting for applications such as Skype, gitk, mplayer, ... As for other tiling wm, you can also assign tags (sort of virtual desktops) to window titles so when you start it, it goes directly there, leaving your actual tag clean with what you were doing. I have never tried xmonad, I can just share my experience with awesome.

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl server-side debug
Well, to be honest, I am developing a server side Perl application on my Gentoo box. Everything is local and I just transfer the sources to their Window$ server. So far, the only debugging method I used for my Perl script is a tail -f /var/log/apache2/error_log. It was not verbose, but at least 90% of the time, it was giving me where the problem occured, so it was not that hard to figure out what happened. But this method depends on the fact that you have access to the logs, which might not be possible in your case. What I tried to do also in my developing is to keep separate the web specific parts from the logic ones. This helped me in a sense that most of the logic scripts can be executed from the command line with some parameters (as they are independent from where they are called) and therefore be tested on the spot. The web specific part is generally related to display and not that often keen on errors :-) HTH, Gregory On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 7:51 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a non-gentoo question here, but my problems are probably partly flavored by using gentoo at home and something else at work.

Well, that depends on what kind of desktop/session manager you're using (Gnome,
KDE, Fvwm, ...).
If it's Gnome or KDE (or I think XFCE), there should be a font manager
somewhere in the preferences.
If you're using something like Fvwm, you can change the GTK fonts and that will
affect all the GTK applications (such as Firefox, Gaim, ...) (for the QT
applications, I have to admit I don't know how they pick a default font if
you're not under KDE).
To change the GTK font, put this as an example in your ~/.gtkrc (or
~/.gtkrc-2.0 depending on the GTK version you're using):
style default
{
fontset =
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*,-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*
}
Where you can of course change the font to suit your needs.

If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 | filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock | is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: | e2fsck -b 8193 device I tried what was written with e2fsck: | e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hdd | e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) | e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdd | | The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 | filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 | filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock | is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: | e2fsck -b 8193 device After googling for a while, and not really finding an answer, I tried to mount it as readonly, and because of a typo, I mounted it as ext2... and it worked!!! I tried then to mount it normally, not anymore as read-only with ext2 format... and it worked!!! So my first question is: how come? I'm sure the filetype is ext3 as it can be seen in my old fstab: | [...] | /dev/hdb5 swapswapdefaults0 0 | #/dev/hdc1 /jukebox ext3defaults 1 1-- this is the one ;-) | [...] I thought maybe I could try to repair it with the normal fsck: | fsck /dev/hdd1 | fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) | e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) | /dev/hdd1: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while reading block 525 | | /dev/hdd1: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read reading journal superblock | | fsck.ext3: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while checking ext3 journal for /dev/hdd1 Is there anything wrong with my hardware? Is it a super-block problem? Is there a way to solve it? Thank you in advance! Greg -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] fvwm conf file request
You can look at the fvwmrc2 designed by taviso. Here is his website: http://dev.gentoo.org/~taviso/You can have a look at his desktop here: http://dev.gentoo.org/~taviso/screenshot05.pngI've been using it and believe me, that looks awsome!When you minimize a window, it takes a small screenshot of the window before minimizing it and that is so sweet.

Good for you!My config files are posted here: http://www.math.princeton.edu/~wwong/recipe_fvwm.htmlIt is _very basic_, hardly anything advanced.The screenshots are rather out of date. The Fvwm pager (as configured now) displays a miniature version of the desktop background image,instead of solid colours.I am still tweaking it a lot, so the configuration is not too wellcommented. But I think it is fairly straight forward if you read it with the manual in hand.(also, if you don't mind eye-candy, you could try emergingfvwm-crystal...)Best of luck,W--(02:14:53) DJP: i would be lol if my roommate weren't asleep...
