I made a simple program to test EOF, yet I can't get it to function properly. Heres my code:

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
int c;
c = getchar();
while (c != EOF)
{
c = getchar();
}
}


I can never get out of that while loop, even when I just hit enter (which should be EOF). Anyone know why it ...

say I had "myfile.exe" stored in $a. How would I delete only the ".exe" part of it (without the quotes)?

I'm writing a script where I have to use ls | grep and search for a file in the current directory. I am assigning the name of this file to a variable so it needs to be precise. My only problem is that the file that I am grepping for has a brother which happens to have a different extension. I want ...

I'm going to install gentoo on an old laptop which doesn't boot cdroms in BIOS and only has one bay.

I'm trying to figure out how I would do this.

One idea I came up with was to possibly reformat the hard drive, then install some type of boot loader (maybe grub? I have no idea.) which tells it to ...

Whats the best way of updating to x.org 6.8.2? Im thinking of just doing a simple 'emerge unmerge xorg-x11' and 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge xorg-x11'

Also, on the change log it says:
ATI "radeon" video driver

I'm slightly confused by that. Does that mean I don't have to deal with the ati-drivers ...

Its an encrypted DVD and you need this library to decrypt it.

Believe it or not, that is also merged, and works great with xine. Now why the hell wont mplayer pick it up?

kmplayer is just a frontend for mplayer, the problem resides in the mplayer package. Reading /usr/share/doc/mplayer-1.0pre5/DOCS/HTML/en/dvd.html and making sure mplayer was compiled with DVD support would be a start ("dvd" USE flag). I may have the mplayer version in the directory name wrong, look ...

I did an emerge on kmplayer and it reads everything fine except dvds. I set the dvd path to /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 and it says opening dvd and does nothing else. When I go to type in /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 in url path, it opens the dvd fine but then the audio and the video go very fast and eventually ...

I emerged xine-ui a while back when I created my gentoo system, and when I did this, it also emerged many other dependencies, such as win32 codecs and the xine library. Is there a way to unmerge xine-ui and its dependencies and then re emerge xine-ui and its dependencies? When I unmerge xine-ui, i ...

I really enjoy using portage. Its the only package manager i've ever used, and I don't think I can live without it. Point being, theres a couple of tutorials off the dev-gentoo site ( http://dev.gentoo.org/~ka0ttic/doc/fbsd-install.html or http://dev.gentoo.org/~g2boojum/bsd.html ) which point to a ...

without starting a new thread:

What kind of optimizations are there between gentoo-dev-sources and dev-sources. What (roughly) has gentoo done?

I'm thinking about updating my kernel every time a new revision comes out (ie. i have 10 im going to update to 11, then 12 and so on). Would it be possible to always use the same .config file instead of making menuconfig and reconfiguring everything myself again? Or could I possibly be missing some ...

I cant get typeset working for some reason.... heres my script:


#!/bin/bash

for parameterList in $*

typeset -u parameterList
echo $parameterList
done



heres the warning I get:

-u should be an argument of typeset (-u is used to ...

new problem. Now that I got rid of the kicker, I cant use the "start applications" or K button on my ksmoothdock. Anything I can do?

figured it out... changed #!/usr/bin/bash to #!/bin/bash and it worked.

now i determined that if i name it start as opposed to start.sh it loads up kwrite when i start kde.

damn it still doesn't work... one second its working another second it doesn't. I even tried making a whole new file and autostart doesnt do anything. Very odd, ill have to keep experimenting.

Ok... I'm almost there. It turns out yes, I put the full path and it works... Now for the bad news. For some odd reason my start.sh file I put in autostart does not run automatically. I did do a chmod 754 on it and when I go to the console manually and type 'bash start.sh' it loads up everything ...

Did you use the full path to ksmoothdock?

no, I just typed ksmoothdock, ill try the full path now.... also, maybe its because I have to fully restart my computer to reload kde? Just doing a K.... Logout, sending me back to the shell doesn't fully shutdown all kde processes. Is there a way to kill ...

Before I try to remove anything I just realized another problem:

I tried getting ksmoothdock working by making a shell script in ~/.kde/Autostart but for some reason, it fails to load. I can type any other program like kompose and it loads but for some reason ksmoothdock wont work. Any other ideas ...

I ended up getting KSmoothDock working and I would like to stop my kicker from loading up at startup. Anyone know where or how I would do this? Thanks.

Yes, I managed to get it working in Konqueror with super user mode. Now I have a different issue. It turns out that I can copy data from /mnt/windows to anywhere else, but I can't copy or write data to /mnt/windows, even in root mode. Any ideas on that?

I want to emerge a specific version of xine-ui. The latest unstable version is 0.99.3 and the latest stable version is .0.9.23-r2. I want to emerge a version inbetween which exists in the portage tree (0.99.1). How would I go about doing this?

I compiled the kernel with NTFS write/read support. My fstab looks like this:

Where would I add the aguments.... in my grub.conf file?
