[gentoo-user] Remplacement for FPM
Hi, I saw this morning that FPM is slated for removal from portage with the forthcoming removal of Gnome 1.x. Can someone point me to a viable replacement for it? I need something that can: 1) store passwords (obviously); 2) generate passwords; 3) have launchers as FPM does. The possibility to import FPM passwords would be a nice feature to have to :) Xavier -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That's ridiculous. It doesn't need to be larger than 512M, and even that's way too large. Well, it doesn't need to be larger than this, if /usr, /var, /opt and /home are on seperate partitions, just like they should be. With EVMS or LVM, that's not at all a problem. I'd like to suggest, that you checkout LVM or EVMS and use that, when you re-setup a system. Anyway. With EVMS you can resize even /.

Re: [gentoo-user] [way OT] determining date of web pages
Galeon (web browser) included "bookmarklets" (search google). One bookmarklet checks "page freshness". It didn't work on frames, but apparently there is a version that does work on frames. I don't know whether the bookmarklet is accurate, however. Perhaps it uses methods mentioned above to determine the date of inception of a page.

As you may know installed packages aren't stored in /usr/portage. They are installed in the vdb (/var/db/pkg). Apparently esearch doesn't look there either.

Yes, I can also specify this in the fetchmailrc, but it doesn't solve the problem that userA does not receive his mail if userB is not known. All this does (I believe) is forward the unknown users to another machine. There is no other machine to forward to as all the users are on this current machine itself. The unknown users I am referring to are other users from different domains (not ours) included in the To and CC fields.

Re: [gentoo-user] Lag de défilement : mise à jour de libpng ou erreur de config ?
oops, i'm very sorry for my mistake, i do post on gentoo-user-fr in french, but I think I've clicked gentoo-user instead of gentoo-user-fr, sorry again. So my problem is quite OT I think, but here is it : Since I've updated libpng AND/OR I've unchecked then checked the "smooth fonts" box in the KDE conf center, all the program which depend on KDE lags when I scroll the pages : quanta, konsole, Kate... Since there, the option was checked and in the advanced properties, the RGB subpixel and hinting too. Now, I must unchecked the RGB subpixel for not laging... I've a Athlon XP Barton 3000+ and a 6600GT with the stable nvidia-drivers. The other problem is when I click on Konsole or write it in an aterm as a user, it always opens a superuser-Konsole... My poor experience says to me : - a prelink problem ? (I've not yet prelinked KDE 3.5.5 as the 3.5.2 was) - should I reset the configuration of KDE by deleting files where it's stored (but I don't know where) ? - xorg problem, bad configuration ? (It was working since then) Could do push me to the right direction to correct this ? many thx nico.
[gentoo-user] etc-proposals - an alternative to etc-update and dispatch-conf
Hello list, Id like to present you etc-proposals and am interested in your opinion. For gentoo-users, who like the commandline, etc-proposals is a gentoo configuration file updater, that, unlike etc-update and dispatch-conf, provides a shell with tabcompletion and allows updating of selected fileparts. Features: * lean dependancies (only portage and readline, no diff, no rcs, nothing else) * shell-like UI with tabcompletion and history * can be used just like dispatch-conf, so you dont need to learn anything new (however, you might actually like the additional features) * the ability to accept certain changes to a file, while dismissing others * dynamical recalculation of changes (i.e. if on update proposes to change a line and is accepted, the user wont be asked again, if a second update proposes the same) * the ability to accept/dismiss all changes to a file/dir * the ability to review decisions before they are merged * showing changes in a change/proposal/file/dir/all * the ability to undo decisions, if they are not yet merged into the filesystem * undo a change/proposal/file/dir * goto , completely with tabcompletion * merging of changes to the configuration files is not done on a file-by-file basis, but can be triggered at any time. This allows the user to review his changes. * provides the ability to edit a proposed changes, opening the editor of choice at the changed lines (this is currently supported in nano, emacs and vi) * keeps decisions on proposed changes, even if the tool is stopped * online help from the shell * clean packaging using distutils - an ebuild is provided too Homepage: http://michaelsen.kicks-ass.net/Members/bjoern/etcproposals/ Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3699434.html#3699434 Hoping for some good feedback, Björn -- Der GMX SmartSurfer hilft bis zu 70% Ihrer Onlinekosten zu sparen!

I want to do this in a "clean" way if possible. Can I emerge it as a oneshot then unmerge it or will the mtimes mess up something? I read mtimes is how portage can tell if something has been messed with or not since it was merged. Teach me something if I am wrong here. Thanks in advance for the help.

I typed in musicbrainS instead of musicbrainZ. I think I mentioned once before that I needed better glasses, more sense to if I recall correctly. LOL Sorry for the noise.
