Am I the only one who see a reflection of a chicken in the Gentoo logo?
Damn, you're right!
This must be the evil chicken from the Wallace And Gromit movie.
It sneaked into Gento and secretly replaced that cow (Larry?) by waring a glove with only two fingers on it's head and pretending that were ...

You could p.e. copy all the relevant stuff to /usr/portage/distfiles
or you edit your /etc/make.conf and add the line (or change it if it exists)

Code: Select all

DISTDIR="/path/to/cdrom/and/packages"

EDIT: And if you're asking why there can't just be two artsd processes, well, that's exactly what artsd is supposed to not do, by design. Although that design is undesirable behavior in most situations when you have dmix working.

I admit that I disagree with most of the statements here: it's not that java or C++ or ruby are simpler or harder than one of the other programming languages!

And then you could do as one of the posts above said and have the KDE sound system use aplay or whatever.

But isn't the dmix-setup intended exactly to have the kernel manage the mixing of concurrent access to the sound device? Why can't the "normal" artsd be one of these processes?

That's nice.
So the regex "executable" tests if something *should* be executable and does not rely on the actual permission of the file?
Didn't know that and in fact that's quite impressive.

If you don't know the difference, just use reiserfs. It is the best all-around choice.

It is usable as ext2, which was the default filesystem since ages

Perhaps installing would be simpler, but as an interesting experiment, you could try to boot from a liveCD and change the permissions by hand.

But more interesting than that would be to have it automatically done. P.e. change the permissions of all EFL-executables (compiled programs) could be done ...

I make it like this:

Code: Select all

date=`date +%d%m%g`
touch $date
That presumes that you have the date-command which belongs to coreutils, but I think most boxes will have it.

If you don't like the day-month-year format, see man date ;)

You can see which java-packages are actually available for addition to the classpath with
java-config -l

When I do this, I find that the commons-cli package is actually registered as "commons-cli-1",
so it might work when replacing your original command with
java-config --add-system-classpath ...

You can get rid of digest verification failures with

(Beware of typos!)

This basically confirms that the changes of that package are okay.

It seems to happen when there is a package included in the file that doesn't exist in the system anymore, or perhaps it has something to do with permissions?

The first thing azureus complains about is that the command "java" could not be found.
Perhaps I'm confusing something, but to me that sounds as if "java" was not in your $PATH.

The rc.d/... style will not work on Gentoo.
But really: it's not that hard to create directories rc[0-6].d somewhere and tell vmware to use that.
The only thing that's being done is the start-script being copied to one of these rc.d directories.
You can simply move it to /etc/init.d and change it ...
