Presumably the totem web plugin (which would allow you to play streaming video in your web browser using the Totem backend) is only compatible with dbus-0.35, not 0.60. I don't really know more than that, as 1) I found Totem far too unstable to use generally, so uninstalled it; 2) I use mplayerplug-in to display video in my browser(s), since if I found Totem unstable for regular use, I certainly wasn't going to attempt to use the web plugin, which could be expected to be even worse than Totem itself is. I would suggest disabling the nsplugin USE flag for Totem and using a different plugin-- xine has a plugin, mplayer has a plugin, I think realplayer has one, Quicktime can be installed with Wine, and there are a couple of standalone options, like plugger. I myself wouldn't want to use such an older version of Dbus just for Totem's stupid plugin (when there are so many others that most likely work better), but that's just my opinion.

I don't understand what your problem is, sorry. But I think that's because you haven't actually said what your problem is, or whether it's with K3b or general use of the drive. You don't mount the cd/dvd in order to write to it with K3b (or whatever); iirc the application uses raw device access, but whether that is correct or not, you unquestionably don't mount the device to use a burning program. Nor do you mount the drive in order to play an audio CD (which also uses raw device access, which requires that the device *not* be mounted). Second, for general use (video viewing, game playing, etc) what you most likely want is the "users" (note the "s" at the end) option, which allows any user to mount/unmount the drive, as opposed to just one: from man mount: user Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. The name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that he can unmount the file system again. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid). users Allow every user to mount and unmount the file system. This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line users,exec,dev,suid). If you're trying to play a game from CD, you might also consider the "exec" option (so that you can execute the game binary from the CD, since as you see above, certain options are "implied" by the 'user'or 'users' options that will be enabled unless specifically disabled after the 'user' or 'users' option). There's also the expedient of whether your users are in the cdrom/cdrw/dvd/whatever group, which gives them relevant access to said drives (and whether or not certain applications are looking for members of this group in order to enable said user to use the program). For example, K3b can be set to only allow access to users in a specific group, but it doesn't /have/ to be set that way. That's about all I can tell you without knowing specifically what you're trying to do and what exactly is going wrong (above the fact that other users are not able to mount the drive).

I'm not trying to do anything special... just get kmail to send mail. I have a bellsouth account as well as a Netplex account. Both were set up for pop server and worked fine until I deleted old KDE versions and did some house cleaning. It would seem that I removed what ever is supposed to handle authentication to my ISP's SMTP server, or possibly I borked some config file somewhere. IIRC, when I installed Gentoo 3 years ago, I set it up to use the reccomended MTA, and everything just worked. I can't tell what, if anything I may have done to blow the mail sending, but, in all honesty, I've tried a lot of ways to fix this and am unsure of all the changes I've made. What MTA are you using?

Re: [gentoo-user] need help with kmail
For what you're doing you don't need the MTA or MDAs. I just installed KDE 3.4 on one of my Gentoo systems and all I did was goto the accounts setup and point it at bellsouth mailserver, enter the username,etc. and it worked. KDE allows you to set up several accounts as you know and handles them very well. Maybe to got Settings->configure kmail and set up a new test account that only goes to Bellsouth.

So if I want a single user at-a-time to be able to mount the DVD drives I just enter user?

The specific one is that I tried to delete a folder from a re-writable CD: a)while I was browsing it in konqueror and b)using k3b, but it couldn't do it.

Sorry, I don't use NTFS, and I only have one user (me)-- and I don't use /mnt/cdrom or /mnt/cdrw (or /mnt/ anything other than the self-created /mnt/iso for mounting loopback images)-- my DVD is mounted to /media/(cdrecorder) by udev (afaik it's udev that does it). I take it you don't use udev? Or are you just under the impression that you have to have /mnt/something (I had this problem for the first bit after I switched)? In general use, /mnt./blah is kinda deprecated. However, I do know that enabling writing to NTFS partitions in the kernel is not recommended, unless you meet very specific criteria (as the kernel driver can only overwrite a file of the exact same size to such a partition, making editing pre-existing files pretty much impossible; no idea about creating a new file). UID/GID is (kinda) necessary for VFAT partitions, only to deal with the possible ownership issues; if you specify the UID/GID of the expected owner, that UID/GID can/will have write privileges to the partition (automatically if UID, when specified if GID), which is useful for shared partitions across multiple distros or OSes and sometimes for multiple users on the same OS. But you may not need any given partition to have write privileges. If, for example, the partition is only full of music files that only need read privileges to play, which you'll almost always have when mounting a partition. But if you wanted to edit the ID2/3 tags of the music files, you would need write privileges. But how many users on your system are actually likely to be editing such tags-- given that said users could also destroy said files with a Windows virus if the virus targeted MP3s and the user had write privileges to the partition containing them? As the admin, you are responsible for knowing what accesses your users actually need, and balancing that against the dangers of giving them such access. It really depends on what your specific setup needs, which we cannot know. > > The specific one is that I tried to delete a folder from a > re-writable CD: a)while I was browsing it in konqueror and b)using > k3b, but it couldn't do it.

We do not packet-write (that means treat a CD as if it was a floppy and write to it directly from the file manager). You can (kinda) do this, if your kernel is set up to enable packet-writing, but honestly that functionality is quite unstable and I wouldn't use it even if I did like packet writing (which I do not and never have in the some 6 to 7 years since it was introduced). Basically what would need to happen in the real (Linux) world, without packet writing, is that a CD burning program would have to create a temp ISO of the files on the CDRW (which afaik it would have to be) without the folder that you intended to delete, erase the current contents of the CDRW and then rewrite the CDRW with the new ISO (which would essentially delete the folder). But I could be wrong, as I don't use -RW media anymore (and this is one of the reasons why). In any case, I'm not completely sure that your expectations are reasonable for the environment. Certainly expecting Konq to delete a folder on a CD is unlikely to happen (because the device must be mounted for Konq to see it, and the device is not going to be mounted read-write under any circumstanc

Depends on what protocol you want these files shared over. I don't think there's any way short of hacking the source to implement this with NFS of Samba. If you use HTTP, it should be fairly easy to write a little CGI script that keeps a counter of downloaders for each file in some kind of lock-file. However, I doubt you need this anyway. Due to the way Linux's buffer cache works it's actually likely to cause less stress on your HD when everybody is reading the same file than when the same number of readers each read a different file. Of course it may make sense to limit the total number of readers with something like Samba's "max connections". regards Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

[gentoo-user] portage overlay question
hello,
I'll describe a situation
[1] Portage overlay dir => /usr/local/portage
[2] portage overlay distfiles dir => /usr/local/portage/distfiles
[3] portage dir => /usr/portage
[4] portage distfiles dir => /usr/portage/distfiles
I maintain some test ebuilds in dir [1] and i got sources of it in dir
[2]. When i want to do ebuild my.ebuild digest in [1] dir i got an error
that i dont have write permissions to [4]. but when i do it from root
user digest is done and finally written to [1]/my_program dir.
My question is how to configure properly my /etc/make.conf file to make
it possible to keep programs sources that i maintain in overlay in dir
[2] ??
Actual /etc/make.conf lines in this topic are:
PORTDIR=/usr/portage
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/tmp
DISTCC_DIR=${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/portage/.distcc
RSYNC_EXCLUDEFROM=/etc/portage/rsync.mask
I have tried line as below but then portage losed distfiles dir at all
#DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles /usr/local/portage/distfiles"

[gentoo-user] courier-imap package enhancement
Hi everyone, Might I suggest that the courier-imap package adds a directory of "/etc/skel/.maildir" during install? That way any new users created on the system would automatically have ".maildir" for use with courier-imap. Otherwise, courier-imap complains, in /var/log/mail.log, that the .maildir does not exist. Is this the right list for suggesting things like this? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is this the right list for suggesting things like this? This is generally why most systems send a new users a welcome email which forces the MTA to create the .maildir/. Courier-imap can add it to /etc/skel/ however this may make troubleshooting more complicated if you do something odd like using mbox in your MTA and decide to install Courier. You might confuse some applications, but generally it doesn't seem like a bad idea. It might make things complicated when you switch to a virtual system and your users don't get automatic maildirs anymore. I'd lean towards leaving .maildir/ out of /etc/skel/ in this case so that behavior is consistent in all installs. In any case I'd do some more thinking about it and request the enhancement through bugzilla with your well thought out arguements that consider more than just a simple system. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

As I understand it the same applies with editing unless the changes result in exactly the same size file. Right, what are the chances of that?!

I just tried it out and as long as I do not specify ro vfat partitions get mounted with rw rights, even if I do not add the uid.

When I get access to it I'll check it out. Thanks for your help! :-) -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
