[gentoo-user] Multiseat -- LTSP?
I'd like to have multiple users working from separate monitors, keyboards, and mice, but all connected to a single Gentoo computer. The main purpose is to minimize sys admin duties but hardware and power requirements would also be minimized. Apparently this is called "multiseat" and native support in Xorg might not be ready for primetime: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Multiseat http://vignatti.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/multiseat-roadmap There is a configuration tool for Xorg multiseat called MDM: http://wiki.c3sl.ufpr.br/multiseat/index.php/Mdm but from what I've read it isn't ideal. Besides Xorg multiseat I've read about LTSP and a few others: http://www.ltsp.org http://www.thinstation.org http://automseat.sourceforge.net http://www.openthinclient.org There are also a lot of proprietary options. Is LTSP the way to go? - Grant

Re: [gentoo-user] lost wireless network
There were a few kernels that broke iwlagn. Iirc it was 3.1.5 and 3.1.6. So i'd suggest you stick to troubleshooting on a kernel you know has previously worked, or a very recent one.

I did notice that, and tried it both ways. No difference.

Yes and No! I've solved the problem, but this is weird; really really
weird. Let me explain. I use ICEWM window manager. For the firefox
launchbar command I have always used...
/usr/bin/firefox -width 950 -height 1050 -P default -no-remote
and manually opened new windows with {CTRL-N}. Urlview was always able
to lauch a new window. But now if one firefox window is opened with
"-no-remote", I can *NOT* programatically open any more new Firefox
windows. That includes urlview and your commandline example *EVEN IF I
USE "-new-window" TO OPEN ADDITIONAL WINDOWS*. Only the manual {CTRL-N}
command works.
After some trial and error, I changed ICEWM's launchbar command to
/usr/bin/firefox -width 950 -height 1050 -P default -new-window
Now I can open new windows all over the place with Urlview and your
commandline example. Problem solved. ***ALWAYS USE "new-window"***.
Computers never cease to amaze me. Can you pop open 2 xterms and try
the following? The first pair should work...
in xterm 1 ==> /usr/bin/firefox -new-window "http://www.gentoo.org";
in xterm 2 ==> /usr/bin/firefox -new-window "http://www.cnn.com";
Now close both Firefox windows and try...
in xterm 1 ==> /usr/bin/firefox -no-remote "http://www.gentoo.org";
in xterm 2 ==> /usr/bin/firefox -new-window "http://www.cnn.com";
The first firefox opens, but the second one fails.

[getting OT regarding xpdf]
Yes, that's the flash plugin. It creates a file and then immediately deletes
it again. But thanks to the open architecture of a Linux system you can get it
back by copying from the file handle in /proc. I have a little script for
that which I'll attach to this message. It looks for all file handles that
link to a (now deleted) file called /tmp/Flash* and restores the link,
printing out the filename it thusly recovered. It could be a bit refined by
only looking for handles of flash player PIDs, but I guess a human wouldn't
perceive the difference anyway.
For youtube, I recommend youtube-dl. It lets you select the video format and
resolution (as offered), downloads the video and automatically renames the
file.

It may depend on which FF plugin is displaying the download, not sure. Anyway, you might try lsof while FF is still displaying it. i.e. pause the video or whatever while you're hunting.

It used to be the case that FF would drop temporary downloads in /tmp, but I can't find them in there any more. This is of particular interest for some flash videos which after I watched them I decide to save them, but can't find them anywhere. Ditto with Chromium, not idea where it saves such temporary files.

Thanks for this Walt! I'm running app-office/libreoffice-3.4.5.2 which has the nsplugin USE flag activated. However, in settings it does not offer an option to select a default Internet browser for opening URLs.

Not sure it's really the same thing, but I saw libreoffice open when clicking on, um, I'm forgetting what kind of link it was, but the cause was the nsbrowser plugin that comes with libreoffice: /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/nsplugin.sav (plus a symlink to that file in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/) Heh, adding the .sav on the filename is how I fixed the problem :) Actually the latest libreoffice has changed the name to libnpsoplugin.so, which doesn't seem to cause me any problems so I let it live.

Alan, this was what I was thinking when I wrote "useful to everyday ordinary users", though it will never be useful to me. The first thing I do when I hear any sound coming from a new app is do whatever I need to do to make the fscking thing STFU. And talking on the phone with music playing would drive me crazy in seconds. And I would have to strangle any child playing a noisy game and listening to music at the same time. Or even separately. So you can see I'm not the demographic the pulse devs are targeting :)

I don't have that problem now but when I've seen it in the past it was because Xorg wasn't finding all of the installed fonts for some reason. There may be easier ways to diagnose the problem but I always use the very old x11-apps/xfontsel, which at least will let you know for sure which fonts Xorg is actually seeing, if not the reason for the problem.

I'm reluctant to go down this route. Things that xpdf depends may or many not be updated, then I'll have to keep an eye out for the latest xpdf code and download and update this manually, as well as any dependencies which may fall out of the tree. This will create a maintenance liability for me. I'd like to continue using xpdf, but unless a maintainer shows up it'll have to bite the dust. :-( Anyhow, another alternative may be mupdf - it opens files when called from another application (e.g. a browser) but unlike xpdf I have not found a way of saving a file once opened without having to redownload it with the browser. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
