Re: [OT] booting through RTC wake-up
> But if I put a timer between the power and the voltage regulator and pop > the timer at 1AM, it does NOT work. I add the same problem years ago. I do not shut the power off with a timer behind the pc now , but nvram-wakeup (on sourceforge) led to think the BIOS timer is not jsut hour-minutes-secondes , but a fulldate (with year, month and day). I have no proof of this though it lead me to one conclusion: i guess the day part is incremented sometime in the day , if power is plugged. thus power should be on at this time to get the timer to know it shoudl wakeup at 7PM today and not yesterday. PS: i have a lot of evidence that this is just a crazy guess ... the internal battery that should provide enough power for monthes , etc . though i still believe there is an only way to be remove this option , testing with letting power on on most obvious time for increment (12PM or 12AM or my best bet) Cheers Alban -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

ext3 undelete/recovery
I just wanted this to be somewhere , seems it s not worst a place than any other. With ext3 you cannot undelete a file . That s right. But only if it was delete in a proper way, for example with rm . In case of a power failure, at reboot if the filesystem is badly broken and some file are lost during the filesystem recovery (fsck), before mounting the partition one can "undelete" the file deleted by fsck with the usual ext2 undelete tools. PS: Ext3 as it syncs data and metadata to disk every two seconds, thus benign powerfailure does not hurt it badly. That explains why its slower than other journalized fs which by default only sync metadata at this rate. Ciao Alban -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Check the log from gmplayer ( or use mplayer which has a verbose output) when you start it after xawtv. It should not be able to access xvideo. You can download xvattr from marillat repository. And send the output from xvinfo and xvattr. My geforce card (using nv driver) for example show only one 'overlay' port for its 'adaptator' (that s some sort of chip on the card i guess). So i can only have one application bound to xvideo (it binds to the port). I guess some card support more than one xv port as some audio card support more than a hardware channel (thus removing the need for esd or such). Btw you should use xvideo for xawtv or to play dvd. Usually divx don't really need it. If you found you have more than one xv port and you cannot use more than a xv app this should be a shortcoming of the driver.

I upgraded from 3.0.5 to 3.0.7 with a bunch of packages -> the samba server was down for few minutes. I don t know if it s the server upgrade or the timeout though explorer.exe crashed on some folder (not all) of the samba server. Seems those were the ones which where accessed before the upgrade. I suggest stopping the samba process completely (checking there s no nmbd or smbd processes left. Then restart it. Retry to access the broken directories/ files from windows. If it still fails you should try killing every explorer.exe process in the windows box (with the process manager) and restarting it from there (look in the process manager menu for the execute command). If it still fails wait a 15 min and retry (i guess that s the time it take on my net for the windows network "election process" to complete).

This done running "bonobo-slay" as the user owning the running desktop. There seems to be an incompatibilty between old and new "capplets" ORB API calls.

I did reformat my floppy with a first partition instead of 4th (was before
udev) and never encountered a problem (tested on mac and linux, maybe
windows requires the 4th partition)
As far as i know the 4th partition was requires years ago and is still
used by default for compatibility reason ... though i guess all readers by
now support the 1st partition on zip. No need to tweak udev then.

from udev.rules, i made this rule to set permission on a cdrom. It gives
syntax for apply a rule on a "kind" of ide device
# There are a number of modifiers that are allowed to be used in some
# of the different fields. They provide the following subsitutions:
#%n - the "kernel number" of the device.
#For example, 'sda3' has a "kernel number" of '3'
# %k - the kernel name for the device.
# %M - the kernel major number for the device
# %m - the kernel minor number for the device
# %b - the bus id for the device
# %c - the string returned by the PROGRAM. (Note, this doesn't work within
# the PROGRAM field for the obvious reason.)
# %s{filename} - the content of a sysfs attribute.
# %% - the '%' char itself.
#
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hde", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="cdrom*",
NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="cdrom", SYMLINK="cdrecorder"
this read (with /bin/cat) the /proc/ide/*/media files . For a zip drive on
ide (BUS), this output "floppy" (here RESULT="cdrom*"
KERNEL is not required , i use it to select the first cdrom , with its
kernel name .
NAME="%k" is the device name udev will create under /dev, %k tell udev to
use the same name provided by kernel (here hde).
MODE, GROUP are used to set permission on this file
and SYMLINK to have a standard name in my applications (i always map the
cd writer to /dev/cdrecorder)

Good luck, please report wich options bet fitted your usage.
