There is indeed a HDMI connector besides the two DVI. A small one, probably a mini HDMI. The card is several years old and I have forgotten the specs. The documentation seems to be on a CD. In form of windows programs. Bah. The new monitor came with a HDMI cable. I will have to obtain a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable or an adapter to try. But I doubt the result will help. Consider that using wine-vanilla-4.01 all resolutions appear as choice in the games. I have visited WineHQ and subscribed to a forum there, Wine Help.

[gentoo-user] New monitor & wine ==> crash
Greetings, I am somewhat desperate. Before I obtained a new monitor, my installed games on wine worked fine. Now many of them crash at startup. Most of them run still fine under wine-vanilla-4.0.1 but not under wine-vanilla-4.17. After some tinkering I found a hint when using OblivionLauncher.exe. In wine-vanilla-4.0.1 the available resolutions are http://www.triffids.de/pub/aoc/wine-4.01_oblivionlauncher.png In wine-vanilla-4.17 the available resolutions are http://www.triffids.de/pub/aoc/wine-4.17_oblivionlauncher.png You can see that most of the resolutions are missing under 4.17. If I select the available resolution 800x600 in 4.17 then oblivion starts and runs without problems. But many of the games do not have a launcher to choose a resolution from. I assume when a games tries to start with a resolution which now seems unsupported it runs into difficulties. So the question is, how to get wine-vanilla-4-17 to accept the available resolutions? This problem didn't occur with the old monitor.

[gentoo-user] Replacement for qpopper
Greetings, first some history. qpopper was masked a long time ago now but is still installed and working on my Gentoo. Even if it doesn't show up anymore on eix. But it does on eix-test-obsolete. I don't like this situation and would like to get rid of qpopper and replace it with another package. Nothing fancy, only to allow clients to use POP3 on localhost. Looking at the possibilities it seems I have to use popa3d which I know nothing about. Experiments would be tricky because first I would have to remove qpopper and would then have lost the current ability to use POP3. And if there are difficulties with popa3d... ;) Suggestions? Hartmut

[gentoo-user] IPv4 & IPv6

I was unable to find the place where I could change this behavior, so I used a dirty trick. - /etc/hosts - # IPv4 and IPv6 localhost aliases 127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost --- Commenting out the last line helped and I could get my mails.

[gentoo-user] xcdroast 0.98alpha16: Empty CD
Greetings, on my current machine xcdroast fails to recognize an inserted CD in the CD-reader. I do not often burn CDs and had switched to cdw which works fine. Nevertheless, xcdroast was once my favorite and I am curious. :) Starting xcdroast with -d 10 shows the problem: DGB1: spawning: /usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/xcdrwrap CDDA2WAV -D "2,1,0" -J -g -Q -H -v toc,summary,sectors,titles DGB10: readtoc: cdda2wav: Invalid argument. Cannot open output fd 0. On one partition I have an old Gentoo, last used 2011, also with xcdroast 0.98alpha16. That one recognizes an inserted CD.

[gentoo-user] Re: gnome not working

I am also using startx and have no experience with *dm. For a test, how about renaming gdm to gdm-old and creating a script with the name gdm instead? - gdm - #!bin/bash gdm-old 21 | tee ~/gdm.log --- Hartmut

So, you may need to figure out how to make the GUI take care of yours. I seem to recall from the wine groups, that KDE uses pulseaudio. And this one is causing a lot of trouble in wine. This is from -dev. Note the last paragraph: Hi folks, Today, I was shocked to find that the EsounD daemon is still in the tree and new ebuilds are actually still pulling it in under USE=esd! Proposal: package.mask media-sound/esound, use.mask USE=esd. Anything that still uses it should stop using it. Anything that /needs it/ should be purged from the tree with extreme prejudice[1]. I'll do the first two today, and the rest of the rituals necessary to complete the exorcism will take a month. Help in this regard is welcome since the job is rather straightforward. *URKS*. Hm, how to translate this one into English? *g* Thanks! 1. In exceptional cases, a dependency on pulseaudio will also suffice since pulseaudio emulates an esound socket while running with `module-protocol-esound-unix` loaded, which is the default. Have you tried pulseaudio? No. And i do *not* want pulseaudio. Also, it seems esound is a Gnome sort of thing. It would be interesting to know, if Gnome is using pulseaudio... Maybe see what they are using nowadays and try that. ...and if not, what else. Other than this, I have no other ideas. It seems you need some sort of sound daemon. Question is which one.

The following installed packages are masked: - media-sound/esound-0.2.41::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Nirbheek Chauhan nirbh...@gentoo.org (04 Jan 2012) # Outdated and unused sound daemon. Why is this still in the tree? # Removal of esd and deps in 30 days. # In exceptional cases, you may use Pulseaudio's esound wrapper. Now, installation of esound was necessary for my SeaMonkey to be able to notify of new mail with a custom sound file. I do *not* want pulseaudio, so, do you know of an replacement for esound which could work with SeaMonkey? Hartmut -- Usenet-ABC-Wiki http://www.usenet-abc.de/wiki/ Von Usern fuer User :-)

I do *not* want pulseaudio, so, do you know of an replacement for esound which could work with SeaMonkey? I don't have esound enabled on my Seamonkey and it plays a sound when I get new mail. Nice. And what sound demon is responsible for that? ;) I did read some of the thread on -dev about this. I think there was only a couple packages that uses esound and I don't recall Seamonkey being one of them. Are you sure it needs esound? I know, that i didn't have the notification without esound. There may be other solutions. It doesn't show up here as a option. I'm on amd64 on my main rig and x86 on my back up. It doesn't show esound anywhere on either of them. I am using x86_64 without a desktop like KDE, Gnome or XFCE. Only icewm. Probably most of you uses some kind desktop and it is likely that a sound demon is installed in this way. [ebuild R] www-client/seamonkey-2.4.1-r1 USE=alsa chatzilla dbus ipc libnotify methodjit roaming startup-notification webm -crypt -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -system-sqlite -wifi I do have alsa enabled tho. Would that work for you too? Ehm, look at my user agent. I am not using Gentoo to build SM, instead i am pulling the source from hg.mozilla.org. Nearly every day i have a new SM. :) Hartmut -- Usenet-ABC-Wiki http://www.usenet-abc.de/wiki/ Von Usern fuer User :-)

'esd' and 'esound' don't show up anywhere in /usr/portage/www-client/seamonkey, for me. I am not using Gentoo for my SM. I am using hg.mozilla.org and applying some private patches to this source. FWIW, I've got the 'alsa' USE flag enabled. Opening the custom sound file with the browser worked fine here. Only the mail notification required esound. Or another sound demon. But which one. :) Hartmut -- Usenet-ABC-Wiki http://www.usenet-abc.de/wiki/ Von Usern fuer User :-)

Hartmut Figge: Now, installation of esound was necessary for my SeaMonkey to be able to notify of new mail with a custom sound file. I have now verified this. Without esound i am getting Timestamp: 09.01.2012 07:18:12 Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... Component returned failure code: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsISound.play] nsresult: 0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) location: JS frame :: chrome://communicator/content/pref/preferences.js :: PlaySound :: line 99 data: no] in the error console. The next step could be trying if the notification is working for you with my current build of SM. In case someone is recklessly enough to do so. *g* This build is for x86_64. Do NOT use it with your current profile! One way to do so is by renaming ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla-s. SM will create a new ~/.mozilla when it starts. No configuration is needed except by inserting a path to a .wav. pref.png shows where to insert. Then click on 'Play'. http://www.triffids.de/pub/sm/120109/ Unpack the .tar.bz2 in e.g. ~/seam, cd to ~/seam/seamonkey and issue ./seamonkey to start SM. After the test delete ~/.mozilla and rename ~/.mozilla-s to ~/.mozilla. Hartmut -- Usenet-ABC-Wiki http://www.usenet-abc.de/wiki/ Von Usern fuer User :-)
[gentoo-user] Re: Lynx, Links, or Elinks?
Philip Webb: Lynx : I've been using it daily since 1996 . I have used it during my new installation on x86_64 to read the handbook of Gentoo. Problem was, that the lines there were too long to fit into the 80x24 window on console. The lines were truncated and i had to guess what would be displayed without truncation. ;) Maybe there is a way of horizontal scrolling which i had not found.

[gentoo-user] /usr/portage/packages missing
Greetings normally using i686 i am discovering now the world of x86_64 on an extra partition under Intel Core i5. Some astounding differences, but i will manage. Now i run 'eclean -p packages' which leads to the information, that there is no /usr/portage/packages. And indeed, so it is. How to get this directory and how to fill it? :) Hartmut -- Usenet-ABC-Wiki http://www.usenet-abc.de/wiki/ Von Usern fuer User :-)
