RE: [gentoo-user] I don't want to upgrade to xorg-x11-7.0

2006-04-07 Thread Daevid Vincent



Well, I followed the wiki instructions on my Dell i8200 / 
nvidianotebook, and now X7 won't start. I was getting some help on this 
list, but everyone is out of ideas or it's just lost in the sea of other emails. 
I don't want my server to succumb to the same fate. I figured I'd just wait it 
out till I either figure out how to get X7 working, or, it works itself 
out.

  Daevid,What reason do you have for not wanting to upgrade 
  to R7, if I may ask? For me it's because it's masked, but I see you already 
  use the ~x86 tree for some packages. Once it's stable it should be fine, 
  though. Yeah, it's a nitpick, but the biggest change I don't like to X was 
  made several releases ago ( -- spreading X all over /usr instead of keeping it 
  in /usr/X11R6). If it weren't there for hysterical raisins, though, it should 
  of course be in /opt. Was that change made by the X.org people or just by the Gentoo 
  people?Jeff.

 You did the opposite of what you wanted to do...you masked out only
 the current 6.8 version.  What you want is:
 
 =x11-base/xorg-x11-7
 
 However, I doubt there will be any more releases of 6.x.  You may also
 find yourself masking out more and more parts of the modular X tree. 
 If you want to keep updating this system, avoiding modular X is going
 to be more and more difficult.

Well. The server is critical. I can't have that be down, so I'm fine with
leaving X6 for now till X7 is figured out or whatever. I'm in no rush. But
it was preventing me from doing an emerge -Davu world to see what else I
might need (such as the new rails)

 BTW, did you happen to try the open-source nv driver on your laptop?

No. I haven't had time to mess around with X7 on my notebook. I get so
frustrated with Linux sometimes. I swear I'm on the verge of getting a Mac
Pro (now that you can dual boot XP/OSX)

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} recovering data from a Memory Stick

2006-04-07 Thread Timo Boettcher
Hi Grant,

* Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED], 06.04.2006, 22:39:11:

 Is it possible to recover data (photos) that have been deleted from
 a Sony Memory Stick?
It depends. On what happened, what you do next, and the amount of time
(or money) you are willing to invest.
 How can I get a look at what is really in there?
Use dd to make a backup (that is, copy the contents of the stick (the
raw bits, not the files) to your harddisk, and work on that copy.
You can use your favorite hex-editor (there are a bunch of them in
portage) to recover the directory-structure (or what is left of it).
:-)
You won't have ANY success with it, if you don't understand a bit
about filesystemstructure and how to use the tools you want to use.
Its very likely that you will destroy data if you are not careful.
There are a few things you can try, depending on your knowledge.

You could use the forensic toolkit sleuthkit (and perhaps its
web-frontend autopsy). For recovering photos, I have had good results
by just searching for jpeg-headers (first 4 bytes, assuming you have
jpeg-images, ofcourse) and simply cutting a bit more than your average
filesize after the header. Result of that will depend from your usage
pattern on the Memorystick, that is, if you delete all files, than
make new photos, or just delete some files (which results in
fragmentation, which will prevent the copy-x-kb-after-jpeg-header-
approach).

There are some other ways, but these are the simple ones.

In any case, MAKE A BACKUP!!! before you try to recover the files.

HTH.

 Timo

I don't know if this could be a bug. When I run equery d -a x11-misc/imake I 
get about twice as much output (including Xaw3d) as you did. So if the problem

[gentoo-user] [OT] online collaboration, sharing desktop or separate windows over the net?

2006-04-07 Thread Jimmy Rosen
Hi folks,

I'm planning to recruit two masters students for a development project 
starting summer/autumn. I'm rummaging the web for some nice 
collaboration tools since I'm planning on trying to recruit from 
wherever I can find good people, and it will be too expensive to 
relocate people to my site for the entire project duration.

So far I've found:

ssh/scp/rsync
email
jabber/icq/...
gnomemeeting(ekiga?)/gnumeeting/skype
The above lot takes care of file, text, and voice, but I would like 
more. 

Jarnal seems to have support for some sort of collaborative sketching, 
if everyone has tablet hardware.

It would be nice to share a desktop. I found Collaborative VNC
http://www.benjie.org/software/linux/collaborative-vnc/

But I haven't found anything that can share just one or several 
windows, similar to if you just open windows on a regular remote X 
session. Does anyone know of such a tool?

If you have experience with collaborative tools that have worked fine 
I would love to hear more about it.


Thanks
Jimmy

You may just be overthinking this. Here is a snip of my config file
(only relevant portions). You may want to add the user guest to your
smbpasswd file you can even use no password, then have your guest
users authenticate with that. Maybe there is a better way but that
works for me.

netbios name = snoopy
server string = Gentoo File Server

Hi folks: SOLVED!!

In my (user) home directory there is .kde/share/config/kaccessrc file.
The file has two sections: Bell and Mouse.
I modified the first two entries of Bell section like this:

ArtsBell=true

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem Compiling Ewl

2006-04-07 Thread Colin Rothwell
Hi All,
I found out that it was entirely my fault and, really, pretty stupid.
Instead of emerging the CVS code of all of the enlightenment packages, I
compiled the snapshots of some and the cvs of others. I think I must
have enabled ~x86 as a make.conf variable. After unmerging all of the e
libs and then emerging the cvs versions, it worked fine.

Sorry and Thank-You,

[gentoo-user] KDE, saved session and Mozilla mail

Hi,

I have KDE 3.5.2 set up to restore my saved session.  It goes something
like this, Mozilla browser on #1, Mozilla mail on #2, Konsole on #3,
Konqueror on #4, my games on #5, gkrellm and Yahoo IM on #6.  When I
login everything comes up except Mozilla mail on #2.  Since it stored
everything else right and only does this with Mozilla, is this a Mozilla

Are there any tools to clean up /usr/portage/packages/All?

Why not?  Just make sure after you finish copying all the files that you 
install grub to the new disk and make it bootable etc.  If you are using lvm 
this is easier because you can do a pvmove to migrate the data to the new 
disk.

Hi,

 my harddisk begins to sound a little strange...I fear I have to
 buy a new (bigger) one.

 When I have to copy my current / to another harddisk, which has a
 different physical layout of partitions and another overall size -- 
 how would I do this best (conserving as much of the information
 of the old root as possible)

 Is cp -a sufficient ?

 In this case is conservation of information more worth than
 performance for me.

 Thank you very much for any help in advance !

That's how I do mine and I have done it several times.  The only thing I
add is the v option.  I like to see the stuff scroll by.
