So, I'm trying to set up kvm and bridged networking. My host has a wireless connection to my router, which uses dhcp. I've set up a bridge network device, and linked the wireless network adapter and tap0 to it. From a null network config:
wpa_supplicant ... wlan0
tunctl -u <user> -t tap0

brctl ...

I've just installed pypanel, and the application menu has got some default stuff in, but I can't find out how to edit that and stick my own menu layout in. Where is it getting the default menu layout from?

Every minute or so in ut2004 the input (mouse/keyboard) would pause/lockup - the mouse doesnt work and the keyboard carries on doing whatever is pressed at the time - for a couple of seconds. The mouse lockup also happens in the menus. The strange thing is, the game itself just carries on merrily ...

tried that. I've also tried grepping the profile directory to no avail

A while ago I set thunderbird to automatically open .doc files with ooffice (then called ooffice-2 or something). However, the program name got changed with the recent versions, and so it cannot find it anymore ('file could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist ...

I have a configure.ac containing the following:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(conf.h)
...
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(DATADIR, "$pkgdatadir", [Where the textures and sounds can be
found])
AC_SUBST(DATADIR)
...

and I have run autoheader etc, but the configure script consistently puts '#define DATADIR ""' instead of ...

wouldnt that cause a pause every second (or so) if the computer is very fast? What I've just put in is a timer that measures how long it takes to draw a frame, and calculates how long it should take to achieve a specific frame rate, and sleeps every frame for the difference between the two ...

I've got a opengl/glut game that im touching up that always uses 100% of both CPUs whatever happens. How can I reduce the amount of CPU time the game uses?

create /lib/firmware?

btw, ive submitted an ebuild for the r5u870 driver: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176824
Just copy it into your portage local overlay & emerge until it gets put into the tree...

ahah, thats fixed it

upgrading to xterm-225 fixes this

I have a similar problem, except I need to move the xterm cursor over the text to get it to display. Moving a window over the xterm window doesnt work (but I'm running beryl, which draws off-screen afaik)

have a look at the lshal output for your usb harddisks - whats the value of storage.bus?

Recently, my usb disks have not been recognised as such; the storage.bus field has been set as 'scsi' rather than 'usb', which, considering my internal hd is also scsi, makes matching them for generic hotplugging very difficult. Does anyone know why this has occured? I can't pin it down to one ...

tried with xawtv?

works for me! Now to submit an ebuild...

ah, it was a problem with the mouse itself. thanks anyway

I've got a very strange problem with my mouse. The mouse wheel works, the buttons work, but the cursor doesnt move when the mouse does. Heres the relevant parts of xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USB Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "evBits" "+1-2"
Option "keyBits" "~272-287"
Option ...

well, why not just activate it automatically and set it to a very large timeout (6 months?). Automatically removing stuff from OPEN would certainly help slim down the number of open bugs in bugzilla, and help sorting out actual bugs...

I've a suggestion for reducing the number of open bugs on the gentoo bugzilla, that will help filter out real open-pending bugs to those that don't apply any more (which can only be a good thing) - have an activity timeout on open bugs, that after (say) 6 months of no activity the bug is ...

Does anyone know why libsndfile has sqlite as a use flag? What could an audio conversion library possibly have use for a database?

x264-svn-encoder has a program that does stand-alone programming. It links against the library in x264-svn that mencoder also links against, that both mencoder and x264 (program) use to encode stuff. I've had a look, and the x264 program takes raw input - since I'm encoding dvds, the size of the raw ...

I'm using mencoder, which just has a dependancy on the .so library (which x264-svn provides...)

And I can't encode with the newest version:

Movie-Aspect is 1.78:1 - prescaling to correct movie aspect.
[swscaler @ 0xb95480]SwScaler: using unscaled yuv420p -> yuv420p special converter
x264 [error]: width or height not divisible by 2 (576x1)
x264_encoder_open failed.
FATAL: Cannot initialize ...

updating to newest version didnt make a difference
