He has been a developer of several operating systems, including Freebsd. I would, as a user, like for him to come back to the project, if it means gentoo going back to the old way. On the other hand, his major decisions with regard to gentoo should be voted on by the developer/user community. I don't want gentoo to become another SuSE. I don't want him to insidiously harm gentoo with the immunity of acting president. Everything should be done in the open. There should be some sort of constitution which protects gentoo from losing certain principles or ethics. One of which is that it will always be free of charge; at least from the gentoo foundation. He has to be, as acting president, bound to a code of ethics or rules decided by the community. It is clear that he cares for this project. He wants to come back but, is he willing to come back as a leader under our conditions? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I thought 64-bit computers could bring in a whole new dimension into the computing world. going from 16 to 32 bits was a significant improvement in terms of applications and what you can do at a given time. You can see the big difference in Operating systems and programs of various application going from 16 to 32. This 64-bit and even dual-core thing has still to bear fruit -- at least for me. It's not faster by any noticeable difference and most applications are not optimized for it. I won't switch until I know I can gain a major advantage utilizing this technology.I have 2gigs of ram and still have yet to use more than 200M at anytime. So, why do I need 8 gigs of memory or more. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Xine and Mplayer Sound problems
- Original Message - From: "sean" To: Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 4:17 PM Subject: [gentoo-user] Xine and Mplayer Sound problems Recently whenever I try to play a CD, or a file such as an .avi, Xine instead generates a xine-out.wav and no sound. The video portion looks perfect. If I play the xine-out.wav, it is the audio track from the file I tried to play. Trying to play that same .avi with Mplayer yields a pop-up window. It reports an error, "DVB card number must be between 1 and 4. Like Xine, the video portion displays without problems. Anyone have any ideas on possible causes? Trying something like Ekiga, which has sound and video, works without problems. Thanks Sean What your USE flags for mplayer and xine? are Xine and Mplayer setup correctly? Make sure there are is no option set to save audio to files.
Re: [gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild
I remember having a similar issue. Try blocking all gcc versions prior to 4.0. As for uninstalling the current 3.x version -- I don't know how you would remove it since you need the ebuild script that initially installed the current 3.x on your system to remove it safely. Have you updated your systems profile (not gcc profile) or upgraded portage itself perhaps?
Re: [gentoo-user] audiocd:/mnt/cdrom not working
Have you tried making the /mnt/cdrom directory? If so check the permissions using `ls -l` if that turns out fine try linking /media/cdrom to /mnt/cdrom. It could be that your cdrom is being mounted on /media/cdrom, therefore, you might have to link these directories using: `ln -sf /mnt/cdrom /media/cdrom` with root priveledges.

Re: [gentoo-user] audiocd:/mnt/cdrom not working
Run mount, When you insert the CD before you take the step that fails to work for you and show me the output. Does the cd have to be mounted before any operation takes place?

[gentoo-user] NFS mount fail
I get this error when mounting an nfs share: mount.nfs: rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking Either use "-o nolocks" to keep locks local, or start statd. Anyone know what the problem might be?

[gentoo-user] Gnome overriding screen resolution
Hello, Gnome is giving me some issues with respect to screen resolution. It doesn't want to display my preferred resolution nor does it have it as an option in the drop-down menu. I set up my resolution in xorg.conf but gnome quickly overrides the option. How can I stop gnome from meddling with my resolution? Regards, Richard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] performance enhancement using x86_64-pc-linux-gnu?
Hello, Today, I thought about changing the CHOST, even if it means performing a fresh install, to the one in the subject line for performance improvement. Am I wrong to assume that changing the CHOST to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and setting CFLAGS to athlon64 will offer faster operation of apps? would it be sufficient to use i686-pc-linux-gnu as the CHOST and use Athlon64 as the -march? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] user command auditing
Is there a tool or a way of keeping track of which commands user's are executing on a system? I understand that history files can be wiped out and they don't really contain the time at which a command and it's arguments were run so I refrain from relying on it.
