  1. does this show up during run or its it after the run is done? if after then I would ignore it.. Python is just changing types on the fly (not a big deal in a small program) if it happen while running you may what to start your progrmaing making std::err go to /dev/null to keep users from seeing it. example Name_Of_Script 2> /dev/null
  2. never mind .. I see I tested hda not hdc... here is my hdc bash-2.05b$ dd if=/dev/hdc of=/tmp/cd.iso count=512 512+0 records in 512+0 records out which kernel are you running. I remember that 2.6.9 - 2.6.10 (I think ) restricted access to cdrom to root at least for writing. huskeyw root # uname -a Linux huskeyw 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 #2 SMP Sat Jul 30 09:39:57 EDT 2005 i686 IntelĀ® PentiumĀ® M processor 1.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux huskeyw root #
  3. ok a little experiment... I did bash-2.05b$ dd if=/dev/hda of=/tmp/cd.iso count=512 dd: opening `/dev/hda': Permission denied bash-2.05b$ id uid=1000(huskeyw) gid=100(users) groups=10(wheel),19(cdrom),35(games),100(users) same error you have, but them I changed to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 bash-2.05b$ id uid=1000(huskeyw) gid=100(users) groups=10(wheel),19(cdrom),35(games),100(users) bash-2.05b$ dd if=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 of=/tmp/cd.iso count=512 512+0 records in 512+0 records out bash-2.05b$
  4. They're just mad because there's no way to recompile the installer before you install. What's the point of using Gentoo if you can't set 47 flags to squeeze that last -11.8% out of the machine? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> great ideal......... I bet if we found a way to compile the installer before install......... why dident I think of that...
  5. This is also the first relesae with a new GUI installer (beta I think)
  6. sorry forgot to hit submit on my edit.. it may make more sence now what I am tring to say, chmoding the mount (not in your fstab) will make all action on it act like root is doing it. I suggested the fstab for finding a persons mount (not mount point)
  7. no, I know it will allow users to mount the drive which, mine is chmod 4711 from the chmod man page 4000 (the setuid bit). Executable files with this bit set will run with effective uid set to the uid of the file owner. Directories with this bit set will force all files and sub- directories created in them to be owned by the directory owner and not by the uid of the creating process, if the underlying file system supports this feature: see chmod(2) and the suiddir option to mount(8). k3b runs a config script that looks for /dev/cdroms/ and chmods the fil
  8. http://paine.wiau.man.ac.uk/pub/doc_vxl/co..._8h-source.html if you can't find it.. here is one.. here is the main site.http://paine.wiau.man.ac.uk/pub/doc_vxl/contrib/mul/mvl2/html/index.html
  9. in the fstab if you add users then users could mount and read. I'll pull my fstab k3b made for it.
  10. it might be better to grep /etc/fstab for cdrom and ask if it does not find it. you may need a setup program that writes a config to a file, this way they could also just edit the file if they don't what to run the setup app. Im working on a WxPy front end so that people can also have a GUI and it will also work windows, MAC and Linux (Unix, Solaris,BSD,IRIX ect.)
  11. looks good to me. the only change is that most Linux distros see /dev/cdroms/cdrom is a link to /dev/hd? for the cdrom. so its more standard to use /dev/cdroms/cdrom or /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 as 2.6 kernel will put them in /dev/ that way (its a hard link so you can still chmod it. )
  12. I haven't used cfdisk I use fdisk when I partition my HD for slackware. With cfdisk were you using that to partition your HD or delete files? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the only thing I can think is your .bash_history was deleted when you did rm -rf bash*.. but its twice in your history still.. so that truly rules that out. look in /var/log/everything/current see if you find anything.
  13. sorry I have been out of the loop. I just compleated my move from Wash DC. to Seattle, WA. Well I still have to find a house and stuff but mostly done. my problem.. I have goten spoiled by dev_c++ but no longer have that as a option at this time. so I have a for example a header file, a functions deffinition .cpp file and an example program. how do I compile this with gcc (command line please.) example I have a file called Mylines.h, Mylines.cpp and example.cpp in dev_c++ you just make them a project, maybe kdevelop does the same thing.. Thanks..
  14. to answer the first quest.. yes its in pixels. a standard TV is 720x480 but with 6:9 pull down (letter box or HD ) you will get a different sizing... in any case there is no DVD with better then 720x480 http://www.dvdupgrades.ch/about/videofaq.html this should help
  15. I have never had anyluck with knopmyth... slackware and gentoo did a much better job. you could use a normal knoppix disk adn run th einstaller then use the debian instructions onthe myth tv site.. what capture card are you using?
  16. As long as IE dominates the market, they're more likely to lose customers if they follow the W3C recommendations. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> IE seams to open W3C pages just fine why loose coustomers? at work I am being forced to learn .net for a coustomer, the more I learn the more I wonder why they had to invent something new except to lock out other players.
  17. I'ts a belkin 3 button wheel mouse. I just pluged it in.. the middles button workes fine for me I really don't care, as the only fancy stuff I do is use Logic for my recording studio stuff. I havent loaded any driver for any Items even my pritner as they just work (real Plug and Play). It did take some getting used to to not get "you just plug in .. such and such .. now installing driver" I have doen zero configuering except back ground and fink (add /sw/bin to path) so I'll get into that this weekend.
  18. ok I got the second segestion to work (after I figured out it brought up the options tool bar) read I pulled my Head out of my 4th point of contact. the first one only worked with the middle button (may be the diffrence in my mouse and a "Apple" mouse) but thank you for pointing me in the right direction... my next step is to put Dual 1.4 gig processers in it..
  19. these Support for the following wireless extension also exist: iwconfig eth1 channel - (only in monitor/ad-hoc mode) sets the current channel iwconfig eth1 mode XXXXX - switch between managed, ad-hoc and monitor mode iwlist eth1 scan - (only in non-monitor mode) returns the list of the networks found by the nic iwconfig eth1 essid - (only in managed mode) tries to associate with a BSS with the specified essid. iwconfig eth1 essid - (only in ad-hoc mode) join/create an IBSS with the specified essid iwconfig eth1 rate xxxxxxxx - sets the TX rate ifco
  20. ok I have my brand new dual 450 mac well new to me. I have Tiger and I now have two questions as I'm a Linux guy mostly and a Windows Guy at work (beyond my control) when I down load files with spaces in the name (like from emails from Windows users) I never get the file extention saved (as a matter of fact it stops at the first space) not a big deal but how do I rename with out opening a terminal.. This should be easy right , I use the right click (I am a Linux guy and a Mac mouse drives me nuts , so I use a standard optical 3 button wheel mouse) but no option to rename the file?? I feel lik
  21. here is the linux driver for your card. (I belive its the same card, at least teh chipset you listed. ) then you need to learn the iwconfig command. http://rtl8180-sa2400.sourceforge.net/
  22. which card adn hwo are you connecting (wep , no wep) access point or what? also do a lspci and see if you can post it.. a partition tool that is free is qtparted adn is on every knoppix cd.. so if you have a version of knoppix type sudo su qtparted its like partition magic
  23. just ask your boss why your comapy refuest to code to the standard (W3C), I guess when they start to loose coustomers becasue they are not using the standards.. we'll see. for tictoc.. I use VMware to boot to windows. I have to do some .net stuff becasue of a new conatract and need visual studio. but I am tring to keep my .net so I can port it to mono when its mature.
