want to keep 3.5. This removes files that were not deleted by the

2006-06-27 Thread JC Denton

Hi!

I started an emerge openoffice last night. This
morning I found that the emerge failed and that the
installation has eaten all my space on the hard drive.
I had 1.7GB free and this morning it was 0 GB. 

How can I find out how much space I need? 

And do I get this space back after the compiling
process is finished?

Thanks!

That's nowhere near enough.
 
 How can I find out how much space I need? 

Trial and error :)

Generally, an OOo build needs around 3-5GB.

 And do I get this space back after the compiling
 process is finished?

Yes. The reason you didn't get it back is that the emerge aborted so it
didn't clean up after itself.

You may find it easier to use openoffice-bin, unless this isn't available for 
your architecture.

I think that one of the bests options to install openoffice is:

emerge app-office/openoffice-bin

Install the binaries because if you install the sources you have to wait
a long time...

if you like see how much memory need the program you can do this:

emerge --search openoffice-bin

And you haver something like that:

 pp-office/openoffice-bin

More about: Re: [gentoo-user] xorg nvidia (again) ;-(

2006-06-27 Thread Alan E. Davis


I am thorougly confused: things must be moving very quickly with xorg
7.  I hope my jumping in here will not further confuse the issue.  I
have found various descriptions of the roots of the problem, and
various solutions involving masking different combinations of
packages.  I had decided to drop back to xf86-video-nv.

Neil, you have masked
   =f86-video-nv-1.1.2

Wow.

I have been having another problem that I'm uncertain would belong in
this thread: I got rid of nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx altogether,
much to my regret because they are faster.  Now when I emerge -uDv
world, the system wants to pull these in again.  I have traced the
problem, unbelievably, to xine-libs: my ebuild required some USE flag,
I think.
  In /usr/portage/media-libs/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.1.2_pre20060606-r3.ebuild
I find:
 IUSE_VIDEO_CARDS=video_cards_nvidia video_cards_via video_cards_i810

Thus I have two more questions:

   1. Is this the ebuild that is pulling nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx
back in?  (I already unmerged nvidia-settings).

   2. Is it even possible to run nvidia-kernel?  Is the nv driver
all that bad, or is it possible to get it to work decently with
opengl?  Is it possible to work with new nv drivers?

  Also, there is the parameter in /etc/make.conf:
   VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia
Should this be dealt with?  I did this when following a howto about
migrating to modular xorg.

I apologize for crashing this thread, especially if somehow I have
misunderstood.

 This will deliver the message contained in the individual file
 /path/to/message. You'll have to iterate over all such files.

 Will this work for mbox format as well?

To answer your question... yes it should.

There is an example of how to process missed mail or reprocess
misprocessed mail in `man procmail' .  Look for the paragraph
that begins:

   Procmail can also be invoked to postprocess an already filled
   system mailbox.  This can be useful if you don't want to or
   can't use a $HOME/.forward file (in which case the following
   script could periodi- cally be called from within cron(1), or
   whenever you start reading mail):
[...]
   Nice example follows that para.

Depending on scale you may want to do a little more and setup a
sandbox for procmail experiments and runs of procmail outside the
normal setup.

Its pretty easy to do.  Then you can run test runs and see exactly
what will happen.  Once happy with results then run with your normal
.procmailrc.

Such a setup might look like:

mkdir -p  proc/spool

cd proc
create a procrc file that has this header:

cat ./procrc

- 8 snip ---
  PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
  SHELL=/bin/sh
  MAILDIR=/home/YOU/proc/spool
  LOGFILE=/home/YOU/proc/.prclog
  ORGMAIL=/home/YOU/proc/spool/$LOGNAME
  DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL
  VERBOSE=YES
  
  
  
  ### Test recipes below here 


- 8 snip ---

Add the rules from your working rc file.

What the above settings will do is:
   `MAILDIR=/home/YOU/proc/spool'
 sets the spool to be written to at the spool directory in your test
 area.  So a rule like:

   0:
   * ^To:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   me

  Will write any mail with To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to /home/YOU/proc/spool/me
  The point here is that you can now run test procmail runs without
  fear of writing to working mail spool.  Stuff will be deliverd to
   your test area instead.

 `ORGMAIL=/home/YOU/proc/spool/$LOGNAME'
 Would normally be set to /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME (by default)
 But now is set to your practice area

  `DEFAULT=$ORGMAIL'
  Sets the default delivery point in case something doesn't match any
  rules it goes to $ORGMAIL

`VERBOSE=YES'
  Kind of speaks for itself... will put more usefull info in 
   /home/YOU/proc/.prclog

Now you can cd to the unprocessed mail directory and if it is one msg
per file you could just cat it all together int ./bigcat
(Assuming it has a leading `From .' line  and will compile like a
large mbox file.)

Or if alread in mbox format then you make test runs like this:

cat MailToProcess| formail -e -s procmail -m /home/YOU/proc/procrc

(formail -e is added to handle the case where messages do not have a
separating blank line.)

In the above command and with the posted procrc (with your rules) mail
will be processed like usual but deliverd to your test area instead of
to real working spool.

This way you can iron out any bugs before you make the real run
where you would just substitute the normal working rc file for
./procrc.

Thanks for the input... I've installed 3 pop3 servers now just to see

a few cmdline switches.  popa3d appears to be the absolute worst.

After starting it I cannot get a connection from another local lan

Well I created the account and passwd so I know those are correct but
popa3d offers no debug info or switch for verbosity.

Apparently its felt that an admin should know how to set this up and
debug etc.  Not this one (as is often the case with me).  Apparenlty
there is some unwritten law amongst pop3 daemon authors to keep it all
close to the chest.  hehe.

 Apparently dovecot expects this executable to be available but the

Did you emerge dovecot with the pop3d USE flag?

# emerge dovecot -pv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

If you have pop3 and/or pop3s in the protocols line of /etc/dovcot.conf

This is being pulled in because you have VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia in

VIDEO_CARDS=nv instead.


2. Is it even possible to run nvidia-kernel?  Is the nv driver

The nv driver does not support DRI (eg, no 3D hardware acceleration),
so opengl applications are going to run in software emulation mode,
and probably be very slow.

[gentoo-user] package masking question


Howdy,

I'm curious if there is a way to conditionally package mask.
Let me give todays example.

Running ~x86.

gimp-2.3.9 is installed.

gimp-perl-2.2_pre1 has this RDEPEND =media-gfx/gimp-2.2*

So naturally wants to downgrade gimp to 2.2.11-r1.

What would be nice is to be able to mask:

 =gimp-2.3 if =gimp-perl-2.2_pre1

That would then downgrade gimp to 2.2 and leave it there
until the next version of gimp-perl is available.

As it is, all I can see to do to prevent upgrade/downgrade
cycling of gimp is to package mask =gimp-2.3 and hopefully
remember to unmask it when the next release of gimp-perl
is available.

It just feels like there ought to be a better way...


Thank you,
Roy

When you don't want Portage to take a certain package or a specific version of a
package into account you can mask it yourself by adding an appropriate line to
/etc/portage/package.mask.



For instance, if you don't want Portage to install newer kernel sources than
gentoo-sources-2.6.8.1, you add the following line to
package.mask:

[gentoo-user] kconsole lost PTYs

2006-06-27 Thread James

Hello,

Strange occurance this one. Booted up a laptop (kde) and got these error
messages, one for each terminal session:

 Kconsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this
is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Kconsole needs to
have read/write access to the PTY devices.

Upon acknowledgement of each error (popUP) my kconsole sessions disappeared
I can ssh into the system to fix the problem, but, I'm not sure what would
have changed?

Any ideas on this one? Why did it show up now? I have recently upgraded 
xorg and migrated KDE from monolithic to kde-meta. But all worked fine
following these upgrades.

Just a guess, but:  check your kernel config.  See if CONFIG_INOTIFY is set.   
If not, recompile with that set and see if it behaves better.

Reading that thread, it would appear that for this to happen you have to
have installed =linux-headers-2.6.16 but not recompiled glibc. Check the
dates from 

genlop glibc
genlop linux-headers

If the former is earlier, re-emerge it.

My limited experience with wallet is that is was a hassle  which is why it was 
limited experience G.  If Never again for this site doesn't work try 
opening the wallet configuration - click or right click on the wallet icon if I 
remember right and see if you any settings there work.  

Wallet worked fine for Knode - at least it didn't ask too much but for Kmail it 
asked every single time I logged in.  I finally turned Kwallet off.

From the K Menu select Control Center -- Security -- KDE Wallet. 
There is a tickbox that is selected to Enable KDE Wallet.  Of course,
if you do this, you will remove the wallet functionality completely. 
However, you do have the capability to create multiple wallets for those
times you want or don't want it.

Yes, that is just normal package masking.  Maybe I should elaborate.
I like to update daily.  When the occasional blocker or cyclic dependency
hit, I'd like to simply mark it (generate bug report if necessary), and go
on.  Where I find myself failing with the package.mask approach is
remembering some time in the future to go back and remove these
temporary masks.

So I was querying if there is a better process.  Some way to tickle
that the ebuild that caused the problem has been upgraded and that
I should unmask the package.

Googleearth hasn't been working, either because of this issue, or

Googleearth will be very slow without opengl acceleration, so you
probably want to stick with the nvidia driver.

You should verify that DRI is being activated with glxinfo (should

Re: [gentoo-user] suspend/resume

2006-06-27 Thread Grant


 Is there a way to shut the power of my laptop down and then power it
 back on and have it resume right where it was when it was powered
 down?  I think this is called suspend/resume.  I see there is a kernel
 called suspend2-sources.

This uses suspend2, which is an externally maintained patch to the
kernel [1].  Suspend2 may work better than the in-kernel suspend
implementation for some cases.

I know nothing about the hardened kernel, but you should be able to
enable the 'normal' suspend to disk and suspend to ram options.  Look
under Power management options... and turn on Software Suspend for
suspend-to-disk support.  You can also add ACPI...-Sleep States for
suspend-to-ram.

I highly recommend merging and using hibernate-script.  This is an
advanced script that can handle most suspend/standby tasks.  Just edit
the config file[s] in /etc/hibernate/, and run hibernate -F
path_to_config.

I also recommend getting the ~arch version of hibernate-script, so
that you can start off using the new config file layout.

-Richard

Thanks a lot.  I'm going to check this out.

[gentoo-user] [OT] OOo-Calc import text when pasting from clipboard

2006-06-27 Thread Mick


This is a bit OT.  Two Gentoo boxen, one with compiled from source
OOo, one with OOo-bin.  I select a number of paths showing my modules,
as produced on a terminal having run modprobe -ls, e.g.:

/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r9/kernel/security/seclvl.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r9/kernel/security/capability.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.16-gentoo-r9/kernel/security/commoncap.ko


Now, on the first box when I middle-click my mouse in OOo-Calc it
opens a dialog box titled Text Import - [Pasted Data] and asks me
what symbol I want to consider as a delimiter (Tab, Semicolon, Comma,
other, etc) i.e. it interprets the clipboard data I selected from the
terminal as a CSV text file.

The problem is that on boxen number two, the OOo-bin just pastes each
line into a single cell without asking how to treat the delimiters.

I've spent an hour looking in the OOo Option settings and still cannot
find how to turn on this text import CSV interpreter thingy.  Would
you perhaps know where is this 'secret' setting?

PS.  On a separate note, would any of you script junkies have
something handy to parse the output of modprobe -ls and import the
module names into /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, sorted under
commented out headers according with the category of modules - or am I
being too lazy here?  ;-)

It would be awfull to remember all these - impossible!

[gentoo-user] NetGear WG111 Using ndiswrapper

2006-06-27 Thread Gabriel Dain


Hi, i just got a NetGear WG111 USB adapter, and im trying to set it up
with ndiswrapper. all is good, except for loading the module. this is
the relevant output of dmesg:

ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
ndiswrapper: driver netwg111 (NETGEAR, Inc.,03/03/2004, 1.0.8.4) loaded
ndiswrapper (NdisWriteErrorLogEntry:314): log: C000138A, count: 3
(c001), return address: c4983fe3
ndiswrapper (ndiswrapper_add_usb_device:363): Windows driver couldn't
initialize the device (C0010006)
ndiswrapper: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper

modprobe doesnt get the same output, tho, this is the output of dmesg
when I modprobe it (the previous one was at reboot):

ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper

I followd this guide in the forums:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-364599.html

The only difference I see between the output im supposed to be getting
and the one I get that could cause a problem is this line:

ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)  MINE
ndiswrapper version 1.1 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no)  ORIGINAL

Just to be sure, i unmasked ndiswrapper and installed 1.16, but I get
almost the same output:

ndiswrapper version 1.16 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no)
usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper

this is lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:4240 NetGear, Inc. WG111 WiFi (v2)

and iwconfig:
wmaster0  IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:
 Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated
 RTS thr:off   Fragment thr=2346 B

those two are of a different adapter, a PCI one that's installed but
not running. I dont think that could be a problem, but who knows.

I havent found anyone on the forums or #gentoo with the same problem,
or any information in #nidwrapper or the wiki.

Re: [gentoo-user] Null Modem Cables Between Windoze XP and Linux

Minicom is also a program that works OK.
Another approach would be to run ppp over the serial line  and make the windows 
log
into the Linux dial-in server. (actually its the way ISPs worked with modem 
users
years ago)

But if that's not a matter of pure testing I'd say its a waste of time for
transfering files. You can make/get yourself a crossover cable and connect the
machines through their LAN Cards over Ethernet at speed near 100mbits/s. It's

The primary difference between suspend in the vanilla (and hardened)

  Hi,
 
 
  I have just got a new machine with nForce4 chipset and 250GB SATA
drive.
  I am trying to compile the kernel on the machine (gentoo-sources) and it
works
  just fine but at boot time I get the panic in the subject and I don't
get it
  why. I have compiled sata_nv directly in the kernel. I'm not using any
raid
  or such things.
  I also installed the kernel + initrd from the 2006.0 live cd and
that kernel
  boots just fine.
 
 
  Thanks,
  Catalin

 I have no experience with encryption in instant messengers so can't help with 
 that. But there is a plugin:
 
 # eix gaim-encryption
 * x11-plugins/gaim-encryption

I use this. It's Great.
There is also this. I've never tested it, but it's supposed to be
better(?) than the former.

Re: [gentoo-user] package masking question

2006-06-27 Thread AJ Spagnoletti

Howdy,

I'm curious if there is a way to conditionally package mask.
Let me give todays example.

Running ~x86.

gimp-2.3.9 is installed.

gimp-perl-2.2_pre1 has this RDEPEND =media-gfx/gimp-2.2*

So naturally wants to downgrade gimp to 2.2.11-r1.

What would be nice is to be able to mask:

  =gimp-2.3 if =gimp-perl-2.2_pre1

That would then downgrade gimp to 2.2 and leave it there
until the next version of gimp-perl is available.



Just a thought here but would it be worthwhile to just modify the
ebuild? instead of
RDEPEND =media-gfx/gimp-2.2*
have this
RDEPEND =media-gfx/gimp-2.2*

This would allow you to not have to downgrade gimp. Its a possibilty
without more research I wouldnt be able to tell you if its the best
solution or not though

If you are running udev, check

it should have lines like

[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild find broken links, but doesn't fix them.

2006-06-27 Thread gentuxx

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

I have a script that runs `emerge world', and the circuit of
utilities, including revdep-rebuild.  The last time I ran it,
revdep-rebuild finds a bunch of broken links but it doesn't fix them.
So, how do I go about re-emerging the packages that have the broken
links?  (I think this might be similar to a problem that someone else
was having, but not sure.)  And, why isn't revdep-rebuild rebuilding them?

Here's an *abbreviated* list:

 Under - File Systems -- Miscellaneous filesystems -- enable UFS
 
 However the scsi cdrw is still not working.
 Again, as you can see it dmesg shows the device. However it is not
 assigning it a dev.
 
 Could be a udev issue?
 
 But, just for grins, under Device Drivers -- Block devices, enable Packet
 writing on CD/DVD media.  The defaults should be ok for that selection.
 
 Also, I note I neglected to have you select Device Drivers -- SCSI device --
 SCSI generic support, but it seems to be in the kernel.
 
 And under File Systems -- CD-ROM/DVD filesystems -- ISO 9660 CDROM system
 support is selected?  Probably have to be if sr0: works, of course add UDF
 file system if it's no selected.
 
 By chance have you done an etc-update/dispatch-conf since the last udev
 update that occured this week?

Hi Bob,

Thought you might be interested on how things went. Sorry for the
delay, I am recovering from an injury I suffered a little over a week ago.

Anyway, due to not being able to troubleshoot the SCSI cd-rom problem
for a while, and some other things I had half done, I decided to
reinstall Gentoo from scratch. It was a new build so not like I had
anything to loose.

Once the build was completed, and made sure I included your options you
suggested for troubleshooting with the initial build of the kernel I booted.

Still could not access the scsi cd-rom. At least it was being assigned
again, but unable to access. One thing I noticed in dmesg is that my
sata dvd unit was showing up with the same identification, which they
both are plextor brands, but that is where it ends, one is a scsi cdrw
and the other a sata dvd burner.

sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr 0:0:1:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

Tried mounting the dvd unit, worked fine. Tried the cdrw, no luck,
stated no medium present.

With the above info, decided to disconnect the sata dvd. After system
restarted, the scsi cdrw fired up perfectly.

Brought system down, reconnected the sata dvd unit and after power up,
both units are now working. In fact the dmesg statements are from the
working config, though it was the same when it was not working.

At this time all I have done is tried mounting the units and was able to
 view the contents, have not tried burning anything at this time. Still
putting system together.

Anyway I do not have a cause for the problem. Some how my sata unit and
scsi unit were conflicting with each other it would appear.
My scsi kernel settings have the suggestions you made, and all else that
is there by default.
I am reluctant to mess with the scsi kernel settings after things are
finally working.

Previously when I played with the settings one of my to units
disappeared and I was unable to get it back.

Thanks for your help,
Sean

[gentoo-user] USE flag

2006-06-27 Thread sean

I would like to fine tune my USE flags a bit more and have a question.

Currently I am emerging gaim, and as it proceeds I see gnome and
evolution related items across the screen.

I am not running gnome desktop or evolution and could a -gnome and
-evolution be placed in USE and would it cause any problems?

I am not a big fan of gnome but some things I use, gaim for example
seems to be tied to gnome. Can I filter it out without causing problems
for some apps that may be tied to gnome.

Thanks
Sean

A simple 'tail' doesn't produce enough output to be useful.  The
output of tail -n 200 /var/tmp//config.log should be enough for
us to look at if you are not sure what to look for.
