Re: [gentoo-user] The current correct way to start kde 4
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde4-guide.xml This is the most appropriate guide. However, I don't see any problem with just simple universal install: 1) eix kde-meta packages and choose the ones you would like to install and then simply emerge # this would pull all of the kde packages # emerge kde-meta # if you would like just the basic set of packages # emerge kdebase-meta 2) in your /etc/conf.d/xdm change the displaymanager option to simply kdm # nano /etc/conf.d/xdm ... DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm ... That'd be it :) 2009/12/28 Andrew Lowe a...@wht.com.au Hi all, I've browsed the forums, documentation etc and can find a lot of options/opinions but nothing definitive. Can someone please point me at a document that outlines the current correct way to start kde 4. I wish to have kde as the default login manager for all users of a gentoo box. Any thoughts, greatly appreciated. Andrew -- Kirill Lipatov klipa...@ku.edu
Re: [gentoo-user] The current correct way to start kde 4
well yeah. I just think that setting the kdm as the login manager is the easiest way to automatically start kde4 session after loging in. However, kdm is of course not mandatory and it can do more than just start kde4 2009/12/28 Dale rdalek1...@gmail.com Andrew Lowe wrote: Hi all, I've browsed the forums, documentation etc and can find a lot of options/opinions but nothing definitive.

I do have an NVIDIA card. Moreover, I have the very same version of wine on Ubuntu and all of the games are running with no problem. It is only on gentoo, where I have this problem.

[gentoo-user] remote distcc
I was wondering if anybody ever tried using distcc not over a LAN, but over the internet. Do you think it's possible / efficient / useful ? Might there be better alternatives?
Re: [gentoo-user] OO thesaurus
got the same thing with english spell-checking. Can't get it to work 2009/11/26 Bill Kenworthy bi...@iinet.net.au How does the thesaurus work for gentoo's version of (compiled) openoffice? I use en_AU and have no thesaurus, and from what I can find out oo3.1 works differently from older versions. Ever since gentoo decided to overide the OO supplied dictionaries its been very flaky.
