3rd-party DVD IR remote

Hi.

I bought a 3rd-party (i.e. non-m$) DVD remote, which works in the XBOX dash, I was wondering if there's any way to enable it in Gentoox?

Having had a look through here, it seems as though the remote <i>should</i> work...

firefox, mplayer and xmms no longer load from the 'dock'

HI. As some of you might know, I recently upgraded my gentoox installation. :lol: I mostly use my Xbox as a server, so I didn't notice for quite some time that the 'dock', which includes launchers for xmms, mplayer, firefox, etc, no longer actually launches the applications :( The icons have all cha...

Since this conversation is going so swimmingly, I'll continue it! :lol: I suppose I should have realized that what's occurred to a n00b had already been thought of many times, before :P I've discovered that Portage includes BINHOSTS, which is exactly what I was talking about in regards pre-built pac...

I can barely believe it, but it actually <i>worked</i>!!

I had to

Code: Select all

emerge unmerge xfce-base/xfce4-base
to get it to work, but:

Think before speak !! :P I just tried emerge --update xfce4 --pretend These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] xfce-base/xfce4-base (is blocking xfce-base/xfce4-4.2.0) So, at least this makes more sense in relation to magic performing the ma...

Hmm... Multiple failures :cry: First of all, it crapped out because of a blocking issue with Mozilla-Thunderbird "Fair enough", I thought, "I remember reading that I need to emerge Firefox after the upgrade". So I emerge unmerge Mozilla, and re-run magic. The script asks "Do...

I don't want to lose my system... Magic update from Home 3.2

But I want to upgrade to the 2.6.x kernel Is magic supposed to make this happen? I got some message about how running magic could cause my system to become unusable, at which point I backed slowly away... !!THIS VERSION OF GENTOOX MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH MAGIC ANYMORE!! !RUNNING MAGIC MAY CAUSE U...

OK, so I found that running /etc/init.d/inetd start started inetd, which means that I can now telnet to the Xbox :lol: So then I typed rc-update add inetd default which (I hope!!) means that inetd (and therefore telnetd) start at boot time. (Well, I think that inetd calls telnetd when needed, but I ...

Hey, thanks so very much for this, orochi!! :D I was actually looking for a command like "ps ax", as the only one that I'd found was "top". It's really hard to find information on something when you don't even know what it is that you're looking for! Maybe I need to do a Linux co...

OK, first up, I'm a complete Linux n00b :grin: I've installed Linux on a few different PCs, but always give it up cause I can't get games to work under Linux... But I've now got an Xbox with Linux installed, and I have a few n00b questions... I followed nobspangle's tutorial to install apache/php/my...
