The action you request needs root prvileges etc etc etc I enter in my password like I normally do and it says Incorrect password, please try again - I wonder if it's not something to do with the KDE su or ...

Nice work! But this should probably be in the "Documentation, Tips & Tricks"-forum.

Could you be more specific? What version of wine and the driver, what does your emerge --info look like? What's the exact error?

I can't seem to find relevant reports in the Bug database.

No idea whether it counts as x86_64 but it certainly isn't an AMD64 :P

There's an article about installing Gentoo on a MacBook in the Gentoo wiki: HARDWARE Apple MacBook

Not sure it is updated enough to cover the new Intel CPUs but the history of the article tells me it's been under revision for ...

One of my older blogposts might come in handy: Rescuing Files From a Corrupted NTFS Partition.

Are you sure it's the file manager asking you for the root password and not kwallet (the password caching database) asking you for the master password of your previously saved ones?

Just a thought...

Using version 2.1.1670 of the program the parallels-config utility that is supposed to build the modules required for hypervision I get various errors during make clean all.

When booting and all the text about different services starting and drives mounting is happening quite a few errors (red asterixs) flow up the screen far to fast for me to read off let alone interpret. Is it possible to log this output so I can actually read it and fix some of these problems?

Can ...

Agreed my friend

It now finds the correct device file for your mouse, which means that when you move the mouse or click Xorg notices that and does something.

Anyone see my obvious error? Thanks in advanced.

Try :

dentifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Any other suggestions?

Of course, you could use an utility like strace to check exactly what device files and system files XGL tries to work with. (It shows you exactly what system calls a program makes and how it interacts with the kernel, lovely tool really).

But be aware that the output might ...

That's a good idea, the problem is I want to allow wget, but then that allows user to get a binary into the chroot.

However it might be possible if I can force all folders of that chroot into having -x on all files automatically.

I would rather make sure the home directories in the chroot is on ...

Is it possible then perhaps to specify a list of commands/binaries that the user CAN run?

Yes:

1) Use a Mandatory Access Control solution like Selinux.
2) Lock the user into a chroot upon login and only place the binaries he is allowed to use within the chroot.

Alternative 2 might be the ...

Make sure the user is in the video group.

Maybe time to get some sleep then

Good luck with Gentoo!

So can a username have special characters in it? i.e. could I have ubersoft.info as a username? Or is this asking for problems?


The account name must begin with an alphabetic character and the rest of the
string should be from the POSIX portable character class ([A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_-.]*[A-Za-z0 ...

There are a serie of commands you can use in order to properly configure your network device. I assume you're using dhcp in whatever network you're on:

1. Check what devices we have available

lspci


Look for a line starting with "Ethernet controller", see example below:

After some searching, I decided it needed to be changed in the xorg.inf file found in /etc/X11. Is this correct?
Yes, the configuration for your X Server (x11-xorg) can be found in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

If so, well, I checked there and there wasn't any file of the kind except example ...

I'm happily using AppArmor to tighten server applications (currently on OpenSuSE 10.1 systems) and since I'm an old Gentooist I was wondering if anyone in this community has contacted the AppArmor team at Novell and shown interest in officially maintaining an ebuild for it (and possibly re-writing ...

Btw, while RSBAC does not hook yet into XEN, latest RSBAC svn and latest XEN mercurial repos patch, compile and work fine together (means you can have RSBAC protecting your hypervisor using traditional target list[1]. there should be the special XEN targets someday ^^)

Personally, I think this kind of complexity is much easier accomplished through GUIs, where you can have checkboxes to choose which packages to update or not. There are a couple of GUIs available already (porthole and kuroo) that I'm planning on using in the near future for package management (just ...

I have a few albums that are riped to flac format and was wondering if there was a program that will rip those to mp3 and keep the id3 tags and file names the same (with the exception of .mp3 of course).

Sounds like a task for Bash:

Agreed, that would be a very handy feature indeed.
