[gentoo-user] kdelibs wont compile
Today after an emerge update the system wants to update to kde 3.5.7 However I've run into a major problem, kdelibs wont compile It keeps stopping at the following point: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (library qt-mt) not found.

I did a revdep-rebuild -p. It wanted to rebuild, essentially all of kde-3.5.5, because I'm in the middle of a big emerge, everything is missing libexpat, presumably because expat was early in the emerge. There was no mention of qt-3.3.8-r3, but of course the first thing revdep-rebuild wants to rebuild is kdelibs which wont rebuild because of the qt problem. I've tried rebuilding qt-3.3.8-r3 but that wont rebuild either, it stops with the following error messages: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [../../../bin/uic] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/qt-3.3.8-r3/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/tools/designer/uic' make[2]: *** [sub-uic] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/qt-3.3.8-r3/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/tools/designer' make[1]: *** [sub-designer] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/qt-3.3.8-r3/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8/tools' make: *** [sub-tools] Error 2 !!!

I've started rebuilding kdelibs-3.5.7-r2 and it's got past where it stopped last time, so fingers crossed I can finish the emerge now.

No temp partitions. There is only one partition: / It's a rented server, so I can't do anything about it. Beside the last command of my script is "date > DATE", to keep a timestamp in a file.

Maybe you could just switch to a vanilla gcc-profile and later restore the hardened one (i've done that with some hardened bugs), but that's a lot of manual work as only you will know when you need to do it. And there are at least three additional patches (flags) for a hardened gcc - SSP, PIC and PIE. Another layer is the PaX patch to binutils (header marking) and some grsecurity patches which i think don't affect binaries generation. Both RSBAC & SELinux also use the hardened-GCC plus their own MAC tools in place of grsec's MAC. Think most of this is true but better post to gentoo-hardened ML too.

Hi,
At the end of that same quide there're some hints on most common errors.
So to just continue on with the recompile run:"#emerge --resume --skipfirst".
But that will work only if no other emerge command was run in between.
Later you could investigate about this error.
It seems it just a matter of choosing the right way to authenticate.

One of the principle uses of my Gentoo box is to aggregate all of my disparate pop-3 accounts, filter spam and to provide access to the ham from my desktop and laptop using Thunderbird (both, I admit, under Windows.) In the most part I am happy with this setup (postfix, dovecot, procmail, spamassasin & ruledujour, razor, pyzor, DCC - with remote ssh tunnels for smtp and IMAP4) - this configuration successfully filters about 99.5% of my spam without having (yet) introduced a false positive - a fact I attribute to the advantage that my ham is extremely unlikely to be matched in DCC/razor/pyzor. Every day, however, I do receive a couple of spams which I don't automatically identify. These spams are easy enough to move out of my inbox or delete by hand, but I can't help thinking it would be better to report these spams back to DCC/razor/pyzor hoping to eliminate similar rubbish in future. I'm aware of the command line client razor-report, but to be honest using that directly is a bit of a pain...I really need a strategy to report spam which requires no more human intervention than at present is needed to manually remove the spam from my inbox. I wonder if it would be possible to set-up an "internal" account "spam" to which only local users (i.e. myself) can send mail... "bounce" all my spam there (using the "Mail Redirect" extension?) - and somehow use procmail to report it? Is there a neater solution? Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Online backups...
I admit that this is a pretty generic idea... but I hope no-one sees harm in me asking about it here... I plan to do this with gentoo... so if someone else has had a similar plan... maybe they could offer me the benefit of their wisdom :-) Assumptions: 1. There are two Linux Hosts connected to the internet by ADSL (512/256Kbps) and that for, say, 6 hours each night this bandwidth is mostly unused. 2. Each Linux Host has under 1GB of "current" files - and under 100Mb of this changes each day on each host. 3. The (different) administrators of each host do not want to take responsibility for keeping the others' data secret, and neither wants the responsibility of having access to the other's files. 4. A daily backup is desired by the administrator of each host. Any solution needs to operate transparently - reporting any failures to the administrator responsible for the data which has failed to be backed up. Furthermore, any solution must: 1. Manage disk usage and consume bandwidth subject to the constraints of the administrator. 2. Use strong encryption in order to eliminate fear that the backup copy my compromise secrecy of backup data. 3.

[gentoo-user] Subversion 1.2
I'd have thought lots of people in the gentoo crowd would have been eagerly awaiting subversion 1.2.x with its substantial new "reserved checkout" - but nothing seems to have moved forward. Portage (by default) still gives me version 1.1.3... but version 1.2 has been available for a couple of months and 1.2.1 a fortnight... I wouldn't have considered this a difficult package to port to Gentoo - especially as just about every other platform is supported directly by the Subversion developers... I've tried using ~x86 as my USE flag - but the 1.2 ebuild still won't install reporting a "Problem in dev-util/subversion-1.2 dependencies"... I'm reluctant to use an unstable subverison port as it would cost me a fair bit of time if it scrambles my version controlled files. Does anyone know what the problems are and why its taking so long to get 1.2.x into the default portage tree? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Subversion 1.2
Marco Matthies wrote: Gentoo leaves packages in unstable for a default period of time to make sure they work allright. If you want the newest version of a package, you must tell portage to do so by putting the appropriate stuff (subversion and it's dependencies) in /etc/portage/package.keywords. Hmmm - that all sounds sane, but what is this default period of time? What criteria must be met in order for a masked package (and specifically for Subversion) to become unmasked? Here, i just did it myself by putting this in my package.keywords (create this file if it doesn't exist) : =dev-util/subversion-1.2.1 ~x86 =dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.5~x86 =dev-libs/apr-0.9.5 ~x86 In one way this looks better than my fiddling with USE - however I'm reluctant to choose specific versions in a durable configuration file. Ideally I'd like to follow the natural upgrade cycle in future. Wouldn't putting those lines in my package.keywords file prevent me getting, say, version 1.3 automatically when I do an "emerge -uD world" in another few months? This was just info about portage, it is in no way any form of endorsement on the new version of subversion, as I haven't used it at all - and I don't know if you should be so impatient with a new version of a package that seems to be important to you and your data... I'm only impatient in so far as I'd prefer to use my gentoo server rather than some other platform. I'm already using Subversion 1.2 on other platforms and I've found no problems for my configuration so (other than possible gentoo specific issues) I'm happy to run the latest Subversion. [Disclaimer - please don't blame me if your requirements are more demanding than mine!. :-) ] Thanks for the reply - it at least convinces me that it is possible to get Subersion-1.2 installed... However, your solution raises more questions from me about Gentoo. I'm now unsure if I want to wait-out the default unstable time for packages (to minimise risk and to simplify systems management) - or if there is a more subtle way to declare that I'd like version 1.2.1 now and to have that upgraded when a future version newer than that which becomes unmasked. Am I missing some other obvious things? I found the Gentoo handbook a little opaque on the topic of masked packages... lots of info - just not the answers to the questions I was thinking. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Petteri Räty wrote: What criteria must be met in order for a masked package (and specifically for Subversion) to become unmasked? At least a month and there can't be any major bugs reported to bugs.gentoo.org. About specifics on Subversion you need to ask its maintainer. It will stay masked as long as needed for the maintainer to become sure that the package really is stable. Hmmm... I suppose that suggests there were some major bugs... using bugs.gentoo.org is new to me - it seems that's where I was missing a pointer. Thanks again. I didn't want to pester the maintainer with superfluous questions as to why packages are masked. It seems a pity that all the information isn't available on one page... using packages.gentoo.org and bugs.gentoo.org together gives the right info - even if it requires a little bit more effort. :-) I'll be sure to see if I can offer feedback to the bugzilla database if I find something relevant to add. Ideally I'd like to follow the natural upgrade cycle in future. Wouldn't putting those lines in my package.keywords file prevent me getting, say, version 1.3 automatically when I do an "emerge -uD world" in another few months? No it would not. You are just changing the accepted the keywords for Subversion. Portage always chooses the latest version with accepted keywords. If just add dev-util/subversion you say that you will accept every version marked as ~x86 or you can use =dev-util/subversion-1.2.1 to only mark one version. If you don't use version numbers, you will always update to the latest version. If you lock down the version number, the next time you will update if after there is a version greater then 1.2.1, which is marked stable (x86). Ah, ha. That sounds sensible - now I follow. My USE confusion is probably that I'd referred to some wrong/out-of-date documentation... when I use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in place of USE it now behaves just how I had previously expected it should have done. # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -uD subversion This does what I'd originally intended to try... (and doesn't force me to remember how to spell the dependencies.) I assume there's no significant advantage I've missed in preferring to use the package.keywords file instead? Hopefully I answered this. I think you did... Thanks! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Holly Bostick wrote: The thing is Portage doesn't *remember* ACCEPT_KEYWORDS, beyond the original compile in which it is used. So if you use it, and keep the package, as soon as you do an emerge -u world, Portage will try to downgrade the package to the last stable version, which is the only one that it knows to be allowed (because /etc/make.conf says "xarch", not "~arch", and no exception for this particular package and its dependencies has been made in /etc/portage/package.keywords). OK - now using package.keywords make far more sense to me. I'd always assumed (wrongly I guess) that "emerge -u" would only upgrade and never downgrade... Now I see why I'd need the entry in package.keywords. It's a beautiful system :-) . I'm closer to believing you. :-) The only way in which I'm not yet as convinced as you are is with respect to dependencies. I'm comfortable with the idea that I browse the bugs to verify that none of the issues affect my install directly - then to accept an unstable version of a specific package... but I'd prefer not to have to dig out the package dependencies and explicitly allow the unstable branch for those packages too (as seems to have been indicated earlier in this thread.) Is there a simple way to say, for example, "I'm willing to accept the unstable version of Subversion-1.2.1, and (naturally) the unstable version of any package on which Suversion-1.2.1 depends?"

[gentoo-user] Filesystem access to Gentoo from XP over SSH - suggestions?
I was wondering if others have tackled this before me? I only have remote SSH access to my Gentoo box (everything else is fire walled) and I use this to map ports on my client machine to corresponding ports on my server machine - so, for example, I can access IMAP; SMTP, X applications etc. on the Gentoo server remotely. My remote client is WinXP, and I use Cygwin OpenSSH. Owing to low bandwidth. While Xwindows is usable it is very slow - command line interaction without X is acceptable for most tasks but imposes a very restrictive interface. If possible I would like to be able to edit (relatively small) configuration files remotely in a text editor running under windows. What would be the easiest way to somehow "map" a network drive on my Gentoo server from Windows given that I need to tunnel over SSH? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

For remote X you should use nx (emerge nxserver-freenx) or vnc (emerge tightvnc). That's new to me - looks very interesting... I'm guessing I'd need to get this working under cygwin for my XP client... Anything which improves the performance of remote X sessions would be very useful. To map a network drive, you should probably tunnel samba through ssh. Google for "samba tunnel putty". This is exactly what I wanted to know.

[gentoo-user] Daily dumb question... chron.
Because I need my Gentoo server to perform periodic tasks on my behalf I new I needed some implementation of "cron" - and after a brief investigation I settled on fcron as I liked the idea that I could give flexible scheduling in order to allow the OS to delay processing in the event of heavy system load. I've written a couple of my own administration tasks (to be run as my own non-root user) and these work fine. I've noticed the directories /etc/cron.daily; /etc/cron.hourly; /etc/cron.monthly etc. and therein a bunch of non-user-specific administration tasks... For example, in ./etc/cron.daily I've logrotate.cron and rulesdujour - but none of these appear to have run in the last month. Are thse system tasks supposed to be fired automatically by fcron? What would be the easiest way to get all my periodic system administration tasks defined in these directories to be fired automatically? Did I make a sensible choice with fcron? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Bob Sanders wrote:

Yes. In the ebuild it says -
einfo "To activate /etc/cron.{hourly|daily|weekly|montly} please run: "
einfo "crontab /etc/crontab"
I hadn't seen that message - but then again, when I installed fcron the
/etc/cron.* stuff wasn't especially important to me... so I might easily
have ignored it at the time. It's a pity this sort of "essential"
warning isn't available for all packages as some kind of Gentoo
knowledge base - I guess I could read the ebuild files - but it would be
far more convenient to have tips/tricks/gotchas available annotated with
each package - say on http://packages.gentoo.org/... Hmmm.
In any case, thanks - "crontab /etc/crontab" seems the perfect resolution.

Re: [gentoo-user] Simplistic bash-script to manage package.use
Hi, the question is: is it really necessary?

Hi, I don't want to make your work bad.

[gentoo-user] Sync'ing eGroupware and Kontact's calendar
Hi everyone, I decided to try Kontact's connectivity to eGroupware and have come thus far: I can now use the remote eGroupware as a resource in my calendar and can create appointments. Which is fine. But in addition I am looking for a feature that will synchronize the local calendar resource with the remote one. Am I missing something and that should happen automagically? In which case it doesn't, at least for me. I have tried kitchensync and generated a connected pair which I had hoped would work, but the app crashed on me as soon as I pressed the sync button. Multisync can only sync the addressbook... which seems easy enough without - remote contacts were downloaded and added automagically and I can easily choose "store in..." anyway.

I am looking for a client-server package (preferably with the server on gentoo from portage) which provides something which is vaguely like CRM... but in reverse - and for personal as opposed to corporate use. One requirement is for it to act as an address book that will allow me to associate: Contact name, phone number, mobile number, email address etc. Company name, location, notes Communication time-stamp; notes; associated documents. I'd like to be able to search all that for keywords... and to be able to find out at a glance from, say, a phone number when I was last contacted and what happened. I'd also like to be able to tell quickly if I've talked to other contacts at the same company - and, if so, how recently - and about what. Of primary importance is the idea that I want to be able to resolve these kinds of things as quickly as possible (so it looks as if I'm not yet senile because I don't remember who someone is.) It would be great if it would integrate with my postfix email server and tag incoming mails if they are referenced by my inverse CRM system. :-) I think it would be invaluable when getting quotes for things, for example, when you ask a dozen companies - forget who is who... but then get quotes by phone... and you wish you knew what they had promised on the previous call. Does anyone use anything that might fit the bill? Any other suggestions? Does anyone use a good address book (preferably one which integrates with Thunderbird via LDAP)? I hope this isn't too off-topic. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Gentoo and Emacs in a terminal and "intellisense"-like functionality.
I've a few vaguely related questions. I'm an Emacs user from a decade ago - and have recently returned to using it... I'm trying to set it up as a useful modern development environment. I'd have chosen Eclipse, or something like that, if it wasn't for a constraint that I need it to work remotely (in a terminal) without resorting to X; VNC etc. There are two things I'd like to do, but on which I'm not getting very far very fast... I'd be interested to know if other Gentoo users have any hints or tips. I'd really like to have "Intellisense"-like behaviour - i.e. I've entered an object name when editing C++ - and I want to see a list of methods/attributes for that object... then, having chosen one, I want to see the arguments and types it requires. I'm aware of [CE]tags - though understand this facility to be somewhat more basic. I've read a little about Semantic, and I've installed app-emacs/semantic from portage... but can't see how to encourage it to do what I want. Any hints? The other thing I'd like to do is allow cursor positioning by clicking with a mouse. I realise that this isn't traditionally considered possible... but I'd like a facility in my terminal window a bit like gpm on the linux console. Is this viable today? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Modelling software - free - preferably easy to install under Gentoo.
I have some (say 100) discrete data sequences sampling a single analogue system with time-stamp data. I would like to do some analysis on these signals to see if there are any interesting things that can be demonstrated - for example, if I could show a strong correlation in the signals between two times, but none at other times, I might be able to conclude that there was communication of some description, but only for a fixed duration. At the moment I'm open minded about what kind of software I'd want to employ - and also about what I'd like to prove. Essentially, I'd like to analyse the data for features - then ask if they correspond with system events I'm already broadly aware about (rather than vice-versa.) Can anyone point me in the right direction, please? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Weird kmail/kontact behaviour on startup
Hi all, This is a bit of a weird behaviour: - On KDE startup, an instance of kmail will invariably start, too. - I close it and start kontact - which will again open two windows, one with the kontact screen and basket open (why basket?) and one with kmail - I close these two again and start kontact again - this time I get my normal kontact with the mail open - On at least one occasion, though not reproducible, kmail started together with kopete, although I had only clicked kopete? Har? I have checked the autostart entries, and de-activated the session manager, to no avail. I can't even guess what might be the cause of this - it might have started after an emerge -uD prettymuchworld but I don't remember any KDE-related updates recently. Any ideas where I could look?

I agree - Not only was my post unclear, but I'm unclear about what I want too. :-) My data, in reality, consists national statistics - and my self-appointed challenge is to establish if, subject to appropriate analysis, they will expose undocumented trends or other anomalies. I don't know what trends or anomalies I want to find until I discover them... but I suspect that, once found, they'd be interesting. :-) > 'exi octave' reveals: Octave is a good suggestion - but probably not what I need. I've been pointed at "R" ( http://www.r-project.org/ ) which looks more hopeful, though I can't find it in portage. If there were an interactive GUI to apply standard statistical analyses to data as a front-end to R, then that would likely be just what I want. Failing that - just finding R in portage would be a step forwards. I'd be very interested to know if R has competition... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Can anyone tell me where I've loused-up this apache config?
This time a bamboozling Apache/vhost/https problem. I have a working vhost configuration for several domains in apache2 (latest stable from portage - 2.0.58) and I want to support not only http services, but, for one domain name at least, I want to support an https service. The working configuration for http has a 00_default_vhost.conf file:- -- NameVirtualHost *:80 DocumentRoot /var/www/vlan.mydomain.net ServerName vlan.mydomain.net ServerName temporary.mydomain.net DocumentRoot /var/www/temporary.mydomain.net -- I updated this (following a how-to as closely as I could...) to this: -- NameVirtualHost *:80 NameVirtualHost *:443 DocumentRoot /var/www/vlan.mydomain.net ServerName vlan.mydomain.net ServerName temporary.mydomain.net DocumentRoot /var/www/temporary.mydomain.net DocumentRoot /var/www/ssl.mydomain.net ServerName ssl.mydomain.net SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ssl.mydomain.net.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ssl.mydomain.key SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/mydomain.crt SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/mydomain.crt -- I believe that I've put valid crt and key files in /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ - and I'd have expected an error message at least if this is, in fact, the fault. When I parse this configuration with apache2 and the flags from /etc/conf.d/apache2 (i.e. SSL ) this is how it goes : -- # apache2 -D SSL --lint # apache2 -D SSL -S VirtualHost configuration: wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: *:443 is a NameVirtualHost default server ssl.mydomain.net (/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf:12) port 443 namevhost ssl.mydomain.net (/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf:12) *:80 is a NameVirtualHost default server vlan.mydomain.net (/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf:24) port 80 namevhost vlan.mydomain.net (/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf:24) port 80 namevhost temporary.mydomain.net (/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf:37) Syntax OK -- Unfortunately, when I attempt to connect to the SSL service on http://ssl.mydomain.net/ using Firefox I get an immediate error : "The connection was interrupted The connection to ssl.shic.dynalias.net was interrupted while the page was loading."

I have an almost identical setup to yours right now and that allows me to use procmail to deliver to maildir...

Rasmus: I've had a look at mb2md, and this seems close to what I'd need - though I'm dubious about two aspects: 1.It doesn't seem to have a filter mode (i.e. It always takes file as input as opposed to stdin, which would allow it to slot more neatly into a procmail based solution. 2.The documentation suggests that it is intended to transform whole mbox files into maildir directories - whereas I'd need it to take an mbox file and append it to a maildir directory which would likely already contain messages from the previous digest. Am I missing something obvious (to someone else)? Reader at Newsguy: While I don't really understand why your suggestion should work...I tried it anyway.

Thanks! I'd overlooked that -s had an optional argument with formail - and while I'd realised I probably wanted procmail to deliver messages, I hadn't realised that I could have separate configurations as easily as that.

[gentoo-user] IMAP servers
This is not so much a problem as an 'I wonder'... I currently use dovecot imap with maildir to support several dozen folders containing several gigabytes of mail using Thunderbird as a mail client. This "works" - but I am surprised by the number of imap processes that the mail server is running to support a single Thunderbird client... it appears that there is one connection per folder and one process per connection... which seems (to me at least) to be overkill. I'm aware that there are lots of IMAP clients I might have chosen - Courier; UWImap, Cyrus and dovecot... but I'm finding it difficult to establish details which would help me choose the most appropriate server for my purposes. In order of importance, I'm interested in: 1. Stability and reliability. 2. Scalability to handle a very large number of 'folders' for a relatively small number of end-users. 3. Performance (primarily with respect to 'new mail' notifications, but also, to a lesser extent, with searching archived messages.

The parameter login_processes_count seems to control the number of /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login processes that are run (when idle) awaiting connections. The parameter login_max_processes_count appears to relate to the same imap_login process. It was not the imap_login processes which concern me from a scalability perspective - but rather the imap (/usr/libexec/dovecot/imap) processes.

Thanks for your help, and while it might not have been obvious to you
(or anyone else reading along)... everything that was confusing before
is clear now... to me at least. While I can see what is wrong, it isn't
100% clear if it constitutes a bug or not.
The problem is that the configure script starts '#!/bin/sh' - but goes
on to depend upon Bash specific features... specifically substitution.
I expect this would not be a problem for most users where /bin/sh is a
sym-link to /bin/bash but, for me, /bin/sh was a sym-link to
/bin/ash... and, for that shell, line 151 is invalid. What is less
clear is whether or not, in a Gentoo context, it is 'correct' to have
/bin/sh being Borne-like but not Bash-like. By preference I'd prefer
/bin/sh to be the minimal shell that will execute Borne-shell scripts...
but I recognise the Linux-world normality of /bin/sh actually being bash.
As at-least a temporary fix I replaced my /bin/sh->/bin/ash with a
/bin/sh->/bin/bash... and everything now emerges smoothly... From a
prissy perspective I'd have hoped that the configure script would
specify that it needed bash functionality by demanding evaluation by
bash instead of whatever /bin/sh happens to be...
Thanks again,
Steve

[gentoo-user] "User services" best practice?
While system-level services are typically managed by /etc/init.d/* in Gentoo, these are maintained by root for all users. I'm interested in an end-user without root access who wants to 'run a service-like process' (for example, fectmail to poll remote accounts...) While an end user can easily run a daemon process or kill one, this doesn't persist across a reboot. I've tried using fcron to schedule user processes to re-start after a re-boot... but this feels like a hack. Is there a standard Gentoo way to solve this (I presume common) task? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Spamassassin / fcron / RulesDuJour
Last night my default gentoo RulesDuJour for Spamassassin acquired new Adult and General rule-sets from SARE.

Thanks for all suggestions. Daniel's idea seems to be closer to what I was looking for (I do not have Java installed on either box, although I could run Knoppix on the CD writer machine). Only I have no idea what the options should be to copy a DVD - I guess an iso image of the original? I'll need to go through that man page a few times, unless you can suggest an appropriate string of options. PS. When I used the k3b gui with default settings to copy a WinXP directory to a DVD it capitalised all filenames and substituted most characters like "&", spaces, etc with "_". I assume that this is because it applied Jolliet standard. How should I set it in K3B to get all the file name characters copied over intact? How would I do this in mkisofs, too? -- Regards, Mick on mkisofs I think you have to use -r for Rock Ridge then you should get the "real" filenames

That's probably the same thing I need (except / rw should be sufficient for me, so I think I can use /etc/modules.autoload). I wonder if udev can be configured not to load the module. Probably the right thing is really to have ipw3945d run as regular service. It'd be nice if ipw3945 produced class net node for the device when the daemon isn't running, and just required the daemon to actually turn it on. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank* -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list if you use the testing versoin of ipw3945d it comes with an rc startscript, maybe that helps.

Re: [gentoo-user] Transcoding movie DVD to MPEG4?
On 12/3/06, Mick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All, I want to copy a movie from a DVD which I bought in a shop, to another DVD to take with me on holiday. I'll be playing back the copy on my laptop and (if it is feasible) the hotel's DVD player. I thought that K3B and a double layer blank DVD+R is all I need to burn an iso image of the DVD. After two expensive coasters (see other recent topic) I came to the conclusion that the combination of K3B/Phillips-DVD8421/Imation-DVD+R DL will just not work. I could start trying out different brands of DVD+R DL, but I cannot see a sustainable economic case for persevering with my coaster production. :-( So, I am now looking at alternative solutions to be able to enjoy my movies when on hols. I mounted the DVD and can see a number of *.vob files only some of which are the main film. Saving these would be enough, if only they could fit in a single layer DVD.

I read about transcoding into mpeg4, but I don't know what are the right options for what I want. What would you recommend? -- Regards, Mick Hi Mick, I'm not sure if this is what you want, but there is a tool in portage called dvdrip, maybe that helps.
