Are there any tools that would allow me to stamp JPEG images with Date Taken inside the image? For example to stamp the date on the right hand corner of the image. If this can be accomplished with a script better yet. Please let me know.

I just finished installing kio-sysinfo from www.kde-apps.org. However, I'm not able to run the application. I get the following message when running sysinfo:/ in Konqueror.

Any ideas? I'm running KDE 3.5.7.

Here's your problem. Remove the "=" from the title lines and they ought to show up fine in KDE.

That did the trick!!! Thanks a lot!

I was hoping KDE 3.5.7 would have fixed the issue I have where I can not see my Grub entry list from the logout menu in KDE. This must be a Gentoo specific issue since I have not experienced this on any other distro. Below is my menu.lst file:

default saved
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd1,1)/grub ...

Is there a way to see how many "oneshot" programs I have installed?

Thank you sir!

[Noob] Question, does emerge --oneshot remove packages from world if the packages are in the world file?

Shazam, in both cases when I do a clone copy I create an image in /tmp. And /tmp does have enough space (part of the root partition).

K3b instantly freezes the system (which requires a hard reboot) so I do not get a chance to debug or look at error messages.

Hello!

I currently have a DVD image in .img format. Im not sure what was used to make it so I tried converting it with CCD2ISO but its giving me an error saying it cannot be opened.

My question is, does anybody know what i can use to burn such image or to convert it to ISO format?

Thanks!
I'm a ...

When I try to perform a Clone Copy with my DVD Burner the system freezes. This doesn't happen with the other drive which is a DVD-ROM. Does anyone have any ideas? Please let me know what information you need from me... Using K3b 1.0.3.

Gentoo is the only distro I've experienced this issue with. It is somewhat annoying so I would love to fix it... Anyone?

Are you using KDE? Does it happen to you?

Does anyone have any ideas why when I first get a tooltip the fonts are darker and thicker (almost bolded) and the second time I hover they look normal? This happens with any tooltip in KDE. Below are screenshots:

1st time: Tooltips1

2nd time: Tooltips2

Solved. then did the trick.

I'm getting the blocked message when updating world... So the fix is to add aspell to package.keywords?

Not using ldap worked. Sorry for my noobness.

While updating my system openssh failed to compile. Below is the log:

* Sorry, but this version does not yet support features

Ideas?

Low and behold, it seems to be related to a latest update and I believe the latest genkernel update is introducing these issues. The reason for this is, I start on an older kernel 2.6.21.6 and I get no scsi_wait_scan plus no slowdowns on any commands. I also see that the scsi_wait_scan module is not ...

Good point on comparing the two disks but do filesystems play a role? My first drive is my Windows XP drive which is NTFS (RO). Will there be a difference?
Not in the hdparm results, no - it works on the raw disk (doing read-only tests) rather than on a mounted partition.
Below are the results ...

You can try smartmontools - that uses the inbuilt SMART diagnostics which may tell you whether there's any errors - after emerging do:
smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda
to get a full report and
cmartctl -d ata -t long /dev/sda
to start off a full test (results will be show in the full report, or see ...

I have two 120G Samsung SP1213C SATA drives and I believe one of them is acting weird. During boot when the modules are loading I now get a scsi_wait_scan loaded message that I don't recall seeing before. Moreover, when I perform a df -h a FAT32 partition I have on the drive takes longer to show up ...

Anyone??

I get the same error. Could it be that the patch is not for the 2.6.22 kernel?
