[gentoo-user] Flash Plugin Grey Screen
Hi Everybody, I recently had a tragedy on my system (long story). In any case now when I try to play any Flash file in a browser (Firefox or Opera) all I get is a grey block where the presentation should be. Right clicking results in the usual flash menu, the cursor will even change to a hand when placed over links in the presentation and sound plays (e.g. Google Video or YouTube). The only problem is that all I see is a big grey block where the Flash presentation should be. Any ideas? -Mike -- Michael E. Crute http://mike.crute.org The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair. --Douglas Adams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Any ideas? 1) Have tried to start your browser with the factory settings? E.g. "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-bak" and start it. It doesn't matter if it works or not it's only for the test. Then you can revert to your settings by "rm -r ~/.mozilla && mv ~/.mozilla-bak ~/.mozilla" I did try that but it didn't help. 2) Are you sure you are not trying to play a flash version 8? Because AFAIK there is no flash-8 for linux yet. ;-( Hmm... I have tried quite a few sites, I can't imagine ALL of them have spontaneously changed to Flash 8.

[gentoo-user] netscape-flash and sound predicament
I seem to be having issues with the netscape-flash plugin. The plugin works for animation but no sound plays. You can get sound if flash is the first thing to get to the ESD daemon but if something else gets there first (amarok or totem) flash will not play sound. I have dmix running on the box and I know its working because totem, amarok, and gaim can all play sounds at the same time. So my question would be, is there a way to make flash mix its sounds in with the other programs on the computer? I know its possible as I have done it before but I can not seem to get it working now. A google search seems to get me nowhere. Any thoughts or a nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated. -Mike -- Michael E.

I emerged alsa-driver and got more kernel modules than I ever hope to see again. After some hacking I got rid of that and emerged alsa-oss, started firefox with aoss and everything works like a charm. On the topic of sound servers I shutdown esd and started routing everything straight to alsa and have no problems so I can cut that overhead.

Here is how my network is setup. All users have DHCP addys, its a mix of mainly Gentoo with the odd Windows box. The printers are all connected to Gentoo servers which have cups and samba setup. Cups serves printing for all the Linux boxes and is also hooked into Samba so the windows boxes can print. As far as IP addresses go... screw em... use the netbios name of the machines, for the Windoze box this will be its hostname and the same is true for the Linux box (I don't think I had to do any extra setup in Samba to make it broadcast a netbios name). You will then be able to print locally from the Linux box via CUPS and you can install the printer just like any other shared printer (\\your_gentoo_box\printer_name) under Windows. Gentoo has excellent Samba setup howtos if you need more info. In this case you break no rules and there is no complex DNS setup stuff. Hope all this makes some sense. -Mike -- Michael E.

The process we are using right now is that we just try to get a good clean 2 track mix on the computer (we have HD24s recording all inputs raw for mixdown later) and then sort things out later on. If your recording setup is half as hectic as ours you will be lucky if you remember to start the computer recording, let along get track marks placed at the right time.

Mark, Here is my suggestion to get the best of both worlds (note my limited knowledge of mythtv). Setup a shell script to copy all your video files from the myth capture directory over to the nfs share and delete the files thus clearing your local space and also allowing you to capture 135 hours.

If I simply move the data files to some other location thenMySQL won't know where they are for playback.2) As far as I know MythTV expects all the data file to be in a single location for playback. I've never heard of anyone having multipledisks for playback, but if they could then your idea would possiblywork.

Re: [gentoo-user] Botched Gentoo Install
Colleen, Glad to see another Fedora user see the light! Here's the scoop... you haven't botched anything you just need to configure your X server. In theory it is very easy to configure your X server all you need to do is run "Xorg --configure" as root then copy the xorg config file from /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and startx again. In practice it usually takes a bit more tweaking. On my machine X wouldn't recognize my mouse at all till I told it where it was (/dev/input/mice) and even after that it took some tweaking to make all 5 buttons do what I wanted them to do. I also loaded the nvidia driver because otherwise the graphics suck. After that you're home free. Here's some links to some step by steps if you like. (Note that you don't need the manufactures graphics drivers if your on a server but on a desktop I wouldn't run without them.)

Okay, short story first. This was my second attempt at installingGentoo. The first time, I got to the point where I could boot from thehard drive, but when I tried to connect to the network (i.e. my isp viacable modem), I had no connection. I had missed a step somewhere. Anyway, I went back to square one because I wasn't sure exactly where Ihad missed the step and even if I could have surmised it, I wasn't sureif I could recover from that point. This wasn't a problem and it was a good learning experience. Attempt 2 was successful in that I could bootmy system and eth0 was recognized and functional.From here, I did a quantum leap. I didn't know where to start so, Ijust typed 'emerge kde' 3 days later, kde was installed along with X, which of course I know kde is dependent on. At this point, I tried tostartx to see what the system looked like and to try to determineexactly how much of kde had been installed - ie whether I had anyfurther components to install.

No need to worry about that if using X. But ifrunning a splash screen, then it needs to be defined in the kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Badges
At the expense of sounding like an "Elitist Chowderhead" I kind of agree with Chris. I'm fairly new to Gentoo (but not to Linux). I came from Fedora and must say that personally Gentoo makes way more sense and pisses me off far less than any RedHat distro. But that said I would never recommend Gentoo to a noob unless they where just as geeky as I. I would rather see normal people use distros like Mandriva and Linspire then graduate to Gentoo when and if they are ready than to have them start at Gentoo then get pissed off at their own inability to make the thing work and go back to Windoze.

My guess is that you have a permissions problem with your DVD device (/dev/hdc). Check the permissions there.

Aside from the previously-made point that no one has actually "said"that Mozilla is "making money" from this transaction (if I download andburn a Linux CD and sell such CDs to others who cannot due to lack of broadband, asking only the cost of the blank CD and shipping, I am not"making money"; I am only recouping my costs), has anyone actually"proven" that Google's position as default search engine is because Google 'paid' Mozilla for that position?I mean, Google is arguably the best search engine, so it would havepresumably been the default anyway. Heaven knows that if it was aquestion of money, Microsoft has enough to throw around that if that was the only determining factor, the default would likely be MSN search.It does happen that you do me an honor (making my search engine thedefault), and I show my appreciation for that by doing you a favor (donating some money to your project).We call it 'professional courtesy', and it's not the same as 'payola',although it can look that way to the extremely suspicious.Even if Google did buy their position, if in some burst of insanity I decided that AltaVista was better, I could change my default to AltaVista.So Mozilla still gets their money (and I do want them to have somemoney, btw), and I still get the default search engine I want. Of course I have 50 search engines available in my search box, so'default search engine' is not as meaningful in my case as it might beto others who don't feel the need to use the appropriate specific engine for each individual search, as I do.Holly--gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list-- Michael E.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Must all software be installed with Ebuilds?
Everything you install on Gentoo is generally done with an ebuild because that lets portage track the dependencies and also keeps track of the versions so they are easily upgraded in the future. This is the best way to do things for most software. With something like Communigate however, you aren't going to benefit much by writing an ebuild since its not gonna be in portage and your not compiling anything anyhow. I would however suggest that if Communigate has any dependencies that you emerge them through Portage rather than build them by hand so they can be easily (automatically) updated when you do an emerge -u world. -MikeOn 8/18/05, Michael Swanson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I'm setting up a home webserver on Gentoo Linux and was wondering aboutthe above question.

Re: [gentoo-user] VMWare?
I personally run it the "right way" if there is such a thing. Gentoo with VMware 5 installed on the computer and XP Pro installed inside of VMware. For what little I need Windoze VMware works wonders. It runs most Windows apps (including the OS) almost faster than it runs naively. I haven't tried it the other way around (VMware installed on top of Windoze) but I can imagine that it runs far slower on Windoze than it does on Gentoo. As far as my experience running VMware on Gentoo I have nothing but good experiences. The only downside is the licensing cost to get a copy of VMware. -MikeOn 8/20/05, Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I agree with John.

Re: [gentoo-user] why gentoo doesn't have long description?
First of all, sorry about top posting that's the way Gmail does it and you cant change the settings. Also if you are looking for a lazy man's way of getting a package description try `emerge -s packagename` and it prints out a lot of information as well as a short description of the package. I have never seen a long description such as those used to build Debian packages anywhere in portage and don't really think it would be useful anyhow. So try emerge -s and if you need more info go to the packae's website. That would be my advice. Oh, and emerge -s works off the metadata so you dint need an Internet connection. -Mike.

Test it out with one machine first but I think that should create your "stage" you will still have to install GRUB or LILO though, everything else should be the same. Also make sure you use -xvjpf when you extract it so it retains the file permissions. Let me know if this works as I am in need of the same type of system. -Mike-- Michael E.

Just find thepriveleged user's password and then change the real root one. You have a point here but I find it easier to grant sudo priviledges to the admins rather than try to give them all the root password, and since we change our root weekly (policies... bah) it would be a maintenance nightmare to try to keep everyone in the loop. Plus sudo offers the ability to revoke root priviledges plus the ability to limit sudo rights to a set of commands (if you so choose). Overall I think sudo is the better way to go.

You can pull passwd to your local machine and the let your computer handle it without interruptions. If some proprieties of the password are known beforehand, then sooner would be a matter of hours and later a couple of days. This is not even putting into the game some distributed computing... True, but if you use shadow to store your passwords your in much better shape since the average hacker can't get a hold of the root owned shadow file. -Mike -- Michael E.

I have found it to be easier to setup and less confusing andit has clients for various platforms including windows...which is notalways the easiest platform to use IPSEC with unless you go with a commercial client. You will need to setup a certificate authority andunderstand the basics of openssl the rest is pretty simple. It evenworks behind a NAT router or firewall. If the vpn connection is lost it will re-establish it's connection automatically once it's routableagain. This works for both dynamic ip clients and even the server aslong as you're using some sort of deamon to update dyndns info. Are there any security trade-offs with SSL as opposed to IPSEC?

I know not (naught? :) about the VPN but as far as your dynamic IP goes I use changeip.com with great success. They are farily cheap and you can send them a top level domain. The nice part is to update the DNS records you can download a really simple Bash script and cron it to make the updates. -Mike -- Michael E.
