 Hello All,

 Can anyone recommend an application to edit a pdf file, and I am

 Thanks,

In general, PDFs aren't very editable after having been made. What kinds
of edits did you need to make?

 revdep-rebuild doesn't look at /opt (which is where binary stuff like skype

 installed). Also remerging won't help since it's binary. It won't be 
 recompiled since the source code isn't available.

 sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 provides libstdc++.so.5:

Running this command reveals that libstdc++-v3 was already emerged. I
reemerged anyway, and the error persists. Thank you for the help, but it
seems that there's something else wrong. Is this a problem with amd64?

 Not really sure. On amd64 this requires some of the 
 app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-* packages (since skype is a 32 bit app), but it 
 should pull them by itself... What does:

 # equery check app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat

 give? What version of skype are you using? Please also post the output of:

 # emerge --info

   
Well, I didn't know about equery check. That told me that the package
was broken, and so I reemerged it. Skype now works! Thank you so much.

  Actually... nothing is wasted.

 Actually, that's quite a BIT of waste.  There's about 30(?), maybe more
 packages in system, depending on your use flags.  About 4-5 are your
 toolchain.  So, there's 25+ compiles wasted per system pass.

And system is included in emerge -e world, so you are actually compiling
these packages four times!

Re: [gentoo-user] Playing Audio and DVD cds!!!

2006-05-05 Thread Christopher E

Hello Daniel,


He mentioned an error that happens when he click the Gnome (or KDE,
can't remember) icon at the desktop. Not something he typed...


Thanks for pointing that out!


Try simply NOT USING the icon, and using an application direcly.


OK, I have tryed this with mplayer, xine, cd player

With cd player and mplayer I am unable to get the cd to play but it
does show me the metadata for the cd (audio)

With xine I can play the cd (audio)



Emerge mplayer and:

I have emerged mplayer


mplayer dvd://

what is this and where do I do this?


for example. Try XMMS to play audio CDs. Have you tried just playing
them with the app?


See above for this response


Or are you still wanting them to be played
automagically?

Rigtht now I don't care if there play auto or not but at a time I
would like this.

I guess your problem is configuration of the WM and maybe some
dependency or whatever linked to the way the WM deals with the icons
on the desktop.
I am using Gnome that portage has of latest one I think, and x11 how
do I do this and so on I am a very new users that had done this setup
now over 5 times as I run in to one issue or entother?


You DO NOT MOUNT audio CDs, that would probably return an error and/or
block the device for direct reading (in the case of a DVD).

I tryed this as a test to see if that was the issue and it did not
help so I rebooted after it

Christopher

Ok, let me gather some more info. When you play it with xine you see
no errors right? When trying to play it with xmms or mplayer, what you
get? Does the timer goes as it is playing and no sound, does it
freezes, it simply do nothing?


when playing it in cd player (gnomes default) I get the metadata and

It now plays in all three players, the mplayer its self play very slow

So far xine plays both audio and dvds fine it appears.

I can not get the totem to play audio cds or play with out being flaky
please see totem posting.

By the way I emerged latest versions of gst-plugins-base and that is

Now how do I get xine to play the stuff automatic I guess I will push

Well, configuration, there's nothing wrong with your machine, you must
understand that you don't point the mplayer or whatever software to
the location of the mounted device or to the files, you specify a
DEVICE file under /dev to be able to play CDs and DVDs. So, in the
configuration of the specific program (that seems right because you
can use the URL dvd://) you set the device (usually /dev/dvd or
/dev/cdrom YMMV) and it access the file (device) directly.

  now I would be happy if you were able to use those apps to lauch audio

Well, I'm at work now, let me get home and take a look at the programs
so I can try and figure out why you can't play. Its probably just
configuration, you may be lucky checking the man pages for the program
you want to use or the info pages, even google.

Seems a problem with the cd player. Try a command-line app very simple

You can either wait for the gentoo mirrors to pick up your package or
you can look at the SRC_URI in the ebuild file so you can download the
file manually.

 Are you sure you can access the internet at all?  Try to ping google or

basically you need to add:
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
Option Buttons  5
to the Section InputDevice of your mouse in your xorg.conf
You can find more info about this (including special configurations for some

Hey Chris. This one often stumps even seasoned X dorks like myself.

In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, look for the 'Section InputDevice' stanza
which describes your mouse, and add the following:

Option  ZAxisMApping 4 5

This will get your mouse wheel up and running, but you'll need to
restart X by logging out of Gnome, and at gdm (or greeter of choice), do
CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and long back in.

Should work for you!

Slainte.

Try adding a map in there like this

now I am assuming that your windows is on /dev/sdb in linux or its it
your first drive if it is /dev/sdb the above code should work, put
this under the windows title :-)

the reason you are puting this twice is to swap both of the dirves

Hope that helps

2006-04-20 Thread Christopher E
sorry if you are geting this twice as I have also posted to the amd64 list

Hello All,

I figure I will also give this information to this list as I was asked
some questions from the amd list.

Frist part is this is not a live cd, it is booting off of the hard drive.

Next thing is all of the stuff here loaded right when usings a livecd,
I got the list by doing a lsmod and then writeing them into the file
that coldplug uses to automatic load them as this is the stuff that
the live cd loaded / detected.

The hard drives that are being used is SATA (in the bios I have it as
IDE as I don't care to use raid or arrays, the motherboard is a Asus
K8V Delux SE (its the one with talking boot up and also the one that
has a wireless card slot init)

If there is any more questions I could answer to help with figureing
out these issue please ask!

 Looks to me like the install disk can't find a hard drive.  What kind of
 hard drive/system is this?  The other failures I think are pretty common
 on most boot/install/live media as it tries to load many different
 modules to get a basic system up for you to continue the install.

Hello Jarry,

I am able to get into the system with the current setup that is the
strange thing, I am NOT using the liveCD any more, I am booting using
GRUB, it loads the kernel and then it prompts me for a root block
device and then I enter /dev/sda6  --- this is my sata drive and when
I do this it mounts the root (sda6 is my root partition) my boot is
/dev/sda1

Does this change any thing seeing I am able to do the above?  if so
what should I do?

Sincerely,
christopher

 I had a similar problem with Asus A8V, sata disk not recognised.
 Later I found out that southbridge (VT8251) was not supported...

 On your mobo there is VIA VT8237 southbridge, check if this is
 supported by kernel (kernel-sources). If not, you have to patch
 kernel first to get your sata-drive recognised...

 Anyway, for installation I had to use p-ata disk (this was
 detected by livecd-kernel), install linux on it, patch kernel,
 then sata-disk was recognised, and finally install on sata disk...

 BTW, try to switch your sata to ahci. Sometimes helps.
 But in my case it was definitely not supported southbridge...
