hi, i just upgraded to kernel 2.6.21 and i have trouble compiling the current nvidia-kernel. So far I tried it with module-assistant. The compiler outputs various warnings and in the linking process ld complains abount a GPL incompatible GPL-only symbol 'paravirt_ops'. any hints ?cahoot, but anyway, one thing is the wifi card driver, for example, i have to load my ac'97 module and another thing is the linux sound system used as alsa or oss. Can i say the latter is the interface used so that user's apps can use the driver?

Im reading the debian developer guide and not the man make nor the debian developer guide as far as i get reading
I'm reading the debian developer guide, and not the man make nor the debian developer guide (as far as i get reading) explains me the diference with make clean and make dist-clean (i supose it depends on the makefile)... Is there any standard that xplains what does each one do in a random package, apart from reading the make file? What does clean and dist-clean suppose to do, or where can i read the standard about it?one question about shorewall. i have two channels(ch1 and ch2), I have two servers for each channel. primary channel is ch1. now I want that all pakets which goes to 22(ssh) port forward to ch2. how can I do that by shorewall?

Let say i have an object A with a member m1 and m2 and a vector of these objects I need to find which object in
let say i have an object A with a member m1 and m2, and a vector of these objects. I need to find which object in the vector has the lower m1, or which object in the vector has the lower m2 per instance. If i understand it correctly I have to sort the vector using a predicate and then use the lower_bound function ? or is there another way ?in the deklaration of my class should I name the parameters to member functions or should I not name that? (void foo(int, int); or void foo(int size, int dimension);?

Ive a stupid question Ive a framework that accepts char * to write text with opengl Id like to create a TextField
I've a stupid question, I've a framework that accepts char * to write text with opengl. I'd like to create a TextField class that will handle the wordwrap and so on. The text will need then to be split in lines. Would you recommend a multidimensional char array, or a vector of chars?I have a function foo, and if I set a breakpoint where foo is called, and step into foo, and watch it until execution returns to where foo is called, then step into again _the debugger goes back into foo_. It's like, the function calls itself again. Any ideas what would cause that?

Im writing a heavily threaded app the threads share a stdvector i have a spinlock to protect the vector inserts
im writing a heavily threaded app, the threads share a std::vector, i have a spinlock to protect the vector inserts but do i have to acquire the lock for reading the content as well? would be nice if an insert on the specific index is atomic... the data changes only one time, so i can assume if(!vector[i].empty()) { foo = vector[i]; ... } do i need a lock around that?but it doesn't seem to work. when running my program under gdb, the members of mypair_array seem to be uninitialized (i.e., first=0, second=0 instead of what I was expecting). Any thoughts?

Another question the gnome sound applet just show HeadPhones PCM and Speaker when I set the quick keys in gnome
another question ... the gnome sound applet just show HeadPhones, PCM and Speaker, when I set the quick keys in gnome, the multimedia button for the sound level moves the headphone scrollbar but the headphones scrollbar don't control the sound level the sound level its controled by PCM any idea?I just played around with re-writing ebuilds to get gnumeric 1.7.10 to compile on my system (requires libgoffice-0.4.0, which also needed a new ebuild). What would I need to do to refine these and submit them for inclusion in portage?

Im now installing a 20070 system after having been on an 05 release on a server I run When I use emerge --info
I'm now installing a 2007.0 system after having been on an '05 release on a server I run. When I use emerge --info, after the USE flags, I get other variables such as ALSA_CARDS, LCD_DEVICES, etc. Since this is a server, I don't have any of those categories of devices on the system. What do these variables affect?So I was thinking - Man it would be really great if I had some kind of indicator as to the status of my current emerge. . then I began to think, Surely I'm not the first to think such a thing. . So here I am. . I was hoping one of you could tell me whether or not such a thing exists? A Progress bar for emerge?

Ive got some i810 wierdness going on with my philips monitor When I switch from xorg to console I get a black
I've got some i810 wierdness going on with my philips monitor. When I switch from xorg to console, I get a black screen and the power light on the monitor flashes on and off. This indicates that the resolution being fed to the monitor is out of range, (for some reason, the monitor doesn't just display a message, it goes into this hard to get out of funky mode. Here's my question. How do I change the resolution and refresh rate of my console?listen, i am trying to get my linux console to have ivms codepage 437 by default.. i am using gentoo. i have it enabled in my kernel. if i try to telnet to a bbs, it has wierd characters in the ansi art. i need this because i am going to bring my old dos bbs up under dosemu, and i telnet to a lot of boards, as well as draw ansi/ascii art. can you help??

Ok I just installed Gentoo 2007.0 and I emerge gnome and it tells you its got like 530 packages, I come back home and it says ERROR: sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6-r1 failed. !!! emake failed with bootstrap-lean anyone?leppy, Well, 12 switches to handle 500 users. I supppose you have to start thinking about what groups go under what switches, and start to group traffic to avoid crossover traffic on the core switch?

ok, i followed the directions for installing nvidia drivers found on the gentoo wiki, but it didnt work. i used nvidia-drivers because i dont have a legacy card. currently im using the xorg 'nv' driver but it says i cant get glx due to no compatible drivers. i tried switching it from nv to nvidia but it doesent work. is there another list of instructions somewhere else?hmm, trying to install 2007.0 amd64.. having trouble doing the first 'emerge --sync' after chroot to /mnt/gentoo.

Ques im playing around with SPF anti-spam measures Anyways due to SPF if Im out with my laptop Ill have to use
ques, i'm playing around with SPF (anti-spam measures). Anyways due to SPF if I'm out with my laptop I'll have to use my own SMTP server. My mailbox uses IMAP. Anyways, now I have to upload the msg twice, once to my SMTP server and once to the sent items on the IMAP folder. As this is the same server it seems kinda pointless to me. Anyone know of a way to have the IMAP server or something send the msg so it only needs to be uploaded once?hi folks. i just got gentoo installed with some gnome goodies. As i have a dual monitor setup (different resolutions) I'd like to use two different wms on each (ie different xsessions.) I don't want to use xinerama or twinview (on nvidia). exec gnome-session in startx starts two instances of gnome, it seems, one per monitor. How do i introduce another wm to one of the monitors?

Hi all, when running emerge, sometimes the system almost completelty freezes up. All I can really do is move the mouse every few seconds. Clicking on things doesn't work. I can't even ssh into the machine. This lasts until the compile is over. What might be causing this? A problem with gcc? A problem with the scheduler?Hi all, anyone can give a quick help with vnc? I have set everything up and put the line /usr/bin/e16 & into the server's ~/.cnv/xstartup file, now e16 starts when I connect with vncviewer but when I say log out within the e16's menu, the vnc screen stays open. How to auto-disconnect?

FBIOSPLASH_SETSTATE failed error code 22 - I got that when trying to use splash_manager of the splashutils package
FBIOSPLASH_SETSTATE failed, error code 22 - I got that when trying to use splash_manager of the splashutils package to set the background of a framebuffered console. Somehow it worked when I ran it from within an X terminal, and now it works on that console no matter where I run it from. Any idea why?The file system is mounted, and as far as it is concerned, the directory is toally not around..according to slocate, ls, etc. But I'm just wondering if there is any chances of goign through the drive while it is not mounted normally?

i've added a pv to my vg...the added pv was a reiserfs partition. the vg has one lv on it with ext3. i want to lvextend to use the free pe from the added pv; does the ext3 filesystem of the lv automatically overwrite the reiserfs on the added pv from which the new pe are being added to the existing lv?I'm unable to set a resolution higher than 300x200 or something, will adding Modes 1280x1024 1024x768 800x600 640x480 to each display subsetion in my xorg.conf enable me to select different modes?

Having the draft of the IEC60599 (floating point spec) in front of me. It reads: The float type matches the IEC60559 format.

So... what guarantee is there, that when you use something like this Vala, that the code generated for generics, is subject to things like code folding (on the compiler side) to reduce the bloat caused by template/generics use?no, not really. you're contradicting yourself. You initially said that you could probably get it done in 1 wk, no?
