[21:51]<xygvzumnz>+ Macromedia Flash Player installer.
[21:51]<zzzggg>+dystopianray, thanks
[21:51]<xygvzumnz>+This sucks ><
[21:52]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+Xintruder: emerge -av netscape-flash
[21:52]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+Xintruder: there is no 64-bit binary player from macromedia yet, you'll only be able to use it with a 32-bit firefox binary or something
[21:53]<xygvzumnz>+I see. thanks.
[21:53]<rxrgrnqw0t>+There are some config files that I know I will always update with updates, and others that I will never update (eg, fstab, xorg.conf). I'd like it so that after an emerge --update, those files will automatically be updated / ignored based of parameters I give. Is this what CONFIG_PROTECT and CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK does? Can I use those to mask or protect single config files?
[21:53]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+Xintruder: I've had some sucess with gnash though, it might be worth trying if you absolutely must have 64-bit flash
[21:53]<ry2j>+can anybody help me?
[21:53]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+aibo: you need to set the right horizsync and vertrefresh settings for your monitor
[21:54]<ry2j>+dystopianray, it set correctly
[21:54]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+aibo: try fiddling with them
[21:54]<ry2j>+dystopianray, I used same options with KDE, GNOME, fluxbox
[21:54]<2zrm_>-Renacor: make sure to specify USE="-gkt", preferably in /etc/portage/packages.use
[21:54]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+chance2105: fstab and xorg.conf aren't updated by any ebuilds
[21:55]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+aibo: and they all got 85Hz ?
[21:55]<ry2j>+yes
[21:55]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+aibo: must be an xfce problem then
[21:56]<ry2j>+oh :(
[21:56]<2zrm_>-aibo: monitor specs online usually give you the exact specs you need for setting xorg.conf to take full advantage of the modes
[21:56]<ry2j>+brad_, I know my monitor modes, I said, but there are some other problem
[21:56]<2zrm_>-o, nm, just read prev response
[21:56]<rxrgrnqw0t>+dystopianray: Uhm, oh sparc xorg.conf is updated due to keyboard driver changes. I'd rather not be asked to update the config files I've personally modified, I guess is the end goal.
[21:56]<xygvzumnz>+When I try to run a .avi file on my amd_64, gentoo, mplayer. The movie runs with no sound. And an error message: [ws] sorry, your system does not support the xshape extention. How can I get sound to work ?
[21:57]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+chance2105: well if an update needs to be made, i think the best thing to do would be to update it
[21:57]<rmzyrrg>-can someone help me with the command equery, it does not turn up anything
[21:57]<2zrm_>-adriaan, as in the command's not found, or it returns 0 results
[21:57]<xygvzumnz>+Damn. Will be back later, sorry.
[21:58]<rmzyrrg>-brad_ the command is not found
[21:58]<dzsfjgd>-Being new I must ask: which place is most suitable to store xmms playlists?
[21:58]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+DrSlony: your home dir
[21:59]<rxrgrnqw0t>+dystopianray: Fine, great. You're not answering my query. I don't give a rat's *ss if my personally modified files need to be updated. I *do not want to have to answer*, eg dispatch-conf commong config file situations, and I'd rather just fix my own configs manually, without portage intervention.
[21:59]<dzsfjgd>-thx
[21:59]<rmzyrrg>-brad_, can you help me
[21:59]<2zrm_>-yeah, emerge gentoolkit
[21:59]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+chance2105: I'm pretty sure the whole deal with CONFIG_PROTECT is that you're flagging which configs need to be dealth with by dispatch-conf
[22:00]<dzsfjgd>-and one more question
[22:00]<dzsfjgd>-Do you know of any media players for Linux that resemble foobar2000 for windows?
[22:00]<2zrm_>-adriaan, that gives you equery, euse, and more
[22:00]<dzsfjgd>-I mean that its clean, not junk, no eye candy, powerful and I can easily switch playlists
[22:01]<rxrgrnqw0t>+dystopianray: The original question is: is it possible to protect single config files. According to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=5 , CONFIG_PROTECT and friends are for whole directories. Protecting all of /etc/X11 wouldn't be my goal.
[22:01]<rmzyrrg>-brad_ thanks ;) it works now
[22:02]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+chance2105: well judging from that page it would appear not
[22:02]<2zrm_>-haha, not a problem
[22:02]<acacac>+No accelerated IMDCT transform found <<< what does this mean please... Xine plays dvds at bad framerate
[22:03]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+^zeon^: sudo runs the program as the root user, so yes it'll be using whatever root has set it's theme to
[22:03]<rxrgrnqw0t>+dystopianray: So do you have any suggestions, other than being captain obvious / captain incorrect / captain not RTFQ?
[22:04]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+chance2105: no sorry
[22:04]<2zrm_>-^zeon^, that's _exactly_ what's happening
[22:04]<mdsvjldzgzzd>+chance2105: only that you be a little nicer to those trying to help you
[22:06]<2zrm_>-you really should only limit running graphical apps as root
[22:06]<2zrm_>-when it is aboslutly necessary
[22:06]<ruvrgj>+meh
[22:07]<ry2j_>-prob solved
[22:09]<tdrg>+does anyone have any experience with squashfs and building livecds? I have a image (98% compiled binaries) that's probably going to be at least 1.1GB... could squashfs fit that on a 700MB CD?
[22:09]<2zrm_>-aibo_, what was the solution?
[22:10]<adjurrww>+ok, I have the RPM version of VMware 5.5 15576 and I converted it to tar.gz, what all should I do to configure it right in the system after copying the files to the correct locations?
[22:10]<ry2j_>-brad_, echo "startxfce4" >> .xinitrc
[22:11]<ry2j_>-xfce use display
[22:11]<2zrm_>-oh, yeah
[22:11]<2zrm_>-heh, i kinda pre-supposed....
[22:12]<hyczzu6n>+Under what circumstances would one want to use the NLS use flag? What exactly is "Native Language Support" ?
[22:12]<ry2j_>-jyoungxx, ./configure, make, make install ?
[22:13]<hyczzu6n>+aibo_, I doubt VMWare is from source :P
[22:13]<hyczzu6n>+jyoungxx, there should be a perl setup script
[22:13]<ry2j_>-;p
[22:14]<zggzajz>-* Your kernel lacks CRC_CCIT support!
[22:14]<zggzajz>- * Enable CONFIG_CRC_CCIT!
[22:14]<zggzajz>-Where do you turn that on in the kernel?
[22:14]<2zrm_>-under the crypt libraries
[22:14]<adjurrww>+ok
[22:14]<zggzajz>+brad_: thanks!
[22:14]<2zrm_>-last menu option
[22:14]<myllggvzjl>+I thought one was able to just do "emerge vmware-workstation"?
[22:14]<zvzndu>+hmm in order to emerge sun-jdk i need to download sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r2 from sun... however only ...-1.4.2.11 is available
[22:15]<zvzndu>+is that an error? and is it possible for me to just emerge java-1.5.0 ?
[22:15]<myllggvzjl>+jyoungxx: just "emerge vmware-workstation", and forget about your RPM-archive..
[22:16]<adjurrww>+will my old key work on the new version?
[22:16]<adjurrww>+I have an older version
[22:16]<myllggvzjl>+hmmh.. depends on how old it is, I guess
[22:16]<myllggvzjl>+afaik: 5-series keys work on the entire 5-series.. dunno about 4.x and 3.x tho
[22:17]<adjurrww>+It is 5.5
[22:17]<adjurrww>+so that should work?
[22:17]<adjurrww>+15576
[22:17]<myllggvzjl>+you have a key for 5.5.X? yeah, that works. definataly
[22:17]<adjurrww>+cool
[22:17]<myllggvzjl>+*definately
[22:17]<adjurrww>+thx
[22:17]<myllggvzjl>+np
[22:18]<rxrgrnqw0t>+Ahh .. there is a simple answer to my question. It didn't dawn on me to check the dispatch-conf manpage. You can actually set dispatch-conf to automatically not merge config files the user has manually updated.
[22:18]<rxrgrnqw0t>+Beautiful.
[22:19]<zvzndu>+is it possible for me to just download the 1.4.2.11.bin and rename it to 1.4.2.10-r2.bn in /var/portage/distfiles ?
[22:20]<sczrdx>+wow. this sucks. grub cant find my kernel. This is on my laptop.. whats the best thing to do? use a gentoo live cd to boot, make a kernel, and move into the /boot, or what?
[22:20]<zvzndu>+because from what the sun site says, it was just a version bump
[22:20]<zsc>-atreyu: no that will not pass the md5sum
[22:20]<sczrdx>+??
[22:20]<zggzajz>+brad_: still same error
[22:21]<zvzndu>+oh207, so basically i'm stuck heh
[22:21]<zvzndu>+err -oh207
[22:21]<mrvrs>+SkramX: where is your kernel?
