Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 3.4.1 released
I did this when I switched to KDE 3.4.0 and didn't run into any big problem, besides recompiling everything that rellied on arts. Of course I lost system sounds and so on, but I didn't actually care much for them. Now I'm very much pleased with amaroK+GStreamer and Gaim. My board does hardware mixing, so no problems there also...

Re: [gentoo-user] distcc doesn't work
You actually switched the files of the PC's. The "--listen " arg
should have the IP of the LOCAL PC, the one you'll listen IN, not the
one you'll listen FROM. That's why you get the errors, you're trying
to bind to an IP that's not the IP fo the local machine. Switch the
files and it should work.
On a side note, I'd increase the "-j2" MAKEOPTS, to something like 5.
If I'm not mistaken, that's what I use at home, on a similar config,
based on what the HOWTO advised...
Hope that helps,

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't su - to root, etc
to check in what groups your user is in you can just type $ groups to change the groups, you have to do, as root, % usermod -G [groups] user you have to include all groups in a comma separated list (for example: users,wheel ), I don´t think you can simply add a group... don´t have any ideas as to the cause of the problem, though... hope that´s helpful, On 6/10/05, Michael Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My network updates its software every night at midnight.

Try using setserial to release it (I don't recall the exact command, but it's somewhere in lirc's docs) and only then load lirc. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but /dev/lircd is a way for the client programs to connect to the lirc daemon, it shouldn't be a link to the serial port. The lirc driver(what I thought was only a kernel module, or compiled in) should create /dev/lirc/0 or /dev/lirc0, and you should run lircd with that as the parameter.
