It doesn't.

 You could be using an ebuild that doesn't ahve the necessary fix.  If 
 that's the case, try re-syncing, re-installing the kernel package, and 
 going from there (you may need to make modules_prepare on the new
 kernel as well), and you may find your issue has gone away.

I tried all that.

I don't normally want it to leave CF cards alone, but just tried and it
worked perfectly. Bear in mind that there is no differentiation between
different physical formats of flash media, but that KDE considers
anything with a dcim directory in the root to be a camera. I just set the
auto-action for unmounted camera to Ignore and plugged in my camera's
CF card and it did not automount. all that happened was that an icon
appeared on the desktop, which I could also disable if I wished.

It sounds more like a misconfiguration than a bug.

[gentoo-user] GNAP-based core-router ?

2006-12-02 Thread Stefan G. Weichinger

Hello, gentoo-users,

I am thinking about doing the following:

I want to use a WRAP-based embedded PC and run a GNAP-based Gentoo on
it. This box should do nothing but be an iproute2-capable core router
for about 10 (ethernet-)subnets.

Currently a Pentium3-box does this job, along with services like bind,
sendmail and squid ... it runs at one of my client's sites, and I want
to split up things to detach routing from other services. No need to cut
off several subnets just because one of the admins there reboots the
machine for making mail work again (yes, education needed there, there
is NO linux-knowledge there).

My questions:

Does it make sense to do my own GNAP-based OS, compiling current kernels
etc.? The main goal is rock-solid stability, so maybe it would be nice
to throw out some kernel-modules etc. Or use GNAP, as it is, out of
portage, with the currently available GNAP-core?

On the other hand this box won't get updated too often, as it should run
24/7/365 ... What security-measures would be useful on a box like this?

For the bandwidth-related questions:

You might point out that this is too little bandwidth for connecting 10
subnets. This would be true if they were all 100MBit/s-LANs, but in fact
most of them are coming in via WAN-connections of maximal 1 MBit/s. So I
don't see much problem in this, especially as the current setup handles
traffic sufficiently as well (at least it looks like ;-) ).

Any pros and cons are welcome, as well as pointers to related information.

Thanks, regards, Stefan.

[gentoo-user] connect-debounce failed and USB mouse has stopped working

2006-12-02 Thread Ric de France

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to gentoo-sources-2.6.18-r3 and my USB mouse has
stopped working. Doing some minor digging with dmesg gives me this:

hub 2-0:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled

I've had a look at what google's given me, and had a quick look in the
forums.gentoo.org and haven't found a way to fix it. It was working in
gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r8, so I thought I'd reboot back to that kernel
to find that the USB mouse still was now not working in that older
kernel. Since I'm using a laptop, the touchpad is still OK, but not
using my USB mouse is annoying... USB printing (via CUPS to HP8200),
and USB memory keys still seem to be OK when plugged in...

Is this a problem with the new kernel, or is it due to me not
rebooting my system after several emerge worlds?

Any suggestions to go forward?

TIA,

...Ric

[gentoo-user] problems with revdep-rebuild

Hi group!

I did an emerge -DvaN world because I changed my USE-flags (gtk2 -xmms) and  
got:

So I thought it is time for a revdep-rebuild  and I got:

or
- use -X or --package-names as first argument (trys to rebuild package, not 
exact
  ebuild)
or
- set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~your platform and/or /etc/portage/package.unmask
  (and remove /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order to be evaluated again)
or
- modify the above emerge command and run it manually
or
- compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually, remove temporary files and
  try again (you can edit package/ebuild list first)

To remove temporary files, please run:
rm /root/.revdep-rebuild*.?_*

 
I did an emerge -pv --depclean that ended up with this errors:

Hello,

I think you have to remove xmms because it can't be rebuilded, something
like emerge -C media-sound/xmms media-plugins/xmms-xmmsmplayer-0.5 (and
all other xmms-packages that are in you world file).
Afterwords the the revdep-rebuild and --depclean will hopefully work again.

Ah, and you have to remove your .revdep-rebuild files in the /root dir.

Re: [gentoo-user] Restaffing the 11th Userrep seat

2006-12-02 Thread Georg Witwer

On 12/2/06, Iain Buchanan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


My only concern is that if this process gets abused, a majority of
userreps could expel a minority and handpick their replacements to match
their own ideas... but then again, this isn't a money / power

happen? and so what if it did?!

I see that on http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/userrel/userreps/index.xml
members are elected each year?  In which case I think my above concern
would be even less a reality, as ousted members could raise support for
the next election anyway.

However, perhaps you should have a short policy for election and
replacement of members, so that if you ever are questioned, at least you
can say We did it by the book.


We as Userreps can only get rid of one of us if that person breaches
the social contact that can be read on our project site, And if we
would dismiss someone we would declare ourself quite thoroughly to the
community and to Userrel too. But as Bo mentioned in the post above,
it was Userrels decision. Antarus promised to post an announcement to
this ML today.


 Building up a team with people that hardly know each other is not an
 easy task. It took us quite some time to get to know each other and to
 find a way to work somehow efficiently together. We are different to
 any other project in Gentoo land because we did not pick our team by
 ourself, but let others, you the user community, choose our team.
 That's the way it has to be of course but it's a handicap,
 nevertheless.

But keeping variety is essential, especially for gentoo.  I doubt adding
one unknown member to the team will throw you all back to the days when
you didn't know each other.  That one new member will more quickly get
to know the group (and vice versa) than the time a whole new group would
take.  So perhaps the next on the list is a good idea?


You are right about that. But keeping in mind that this might not be
the only loss to our group in the next year (some of the userreps have
not been too active, ie.) and if we have to keep on picking up people
that haven't shown any interest in the project so far, it will slow us
down.

I think it would be fair to let us choose any substitute within the
term, because a year really passes by fast and all of us will be
judged on our work at the next election anyhow.


However, it seems like djay-il deserves a bit of recognition for his
efforts, and placing him in the position would do that.

So, I've said both yes and no!  In the end, I guess the decision is up
to the team what method they choose.


Thanks, for your opinion. :)

Just emerge --sync.  That will fix most of it.  Then as you upgrade it

This should not be a big problem to fix.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Update - HowTo

2006-12-02 Thread Helmut Jarausch
Hi,

this is a very general question. 
Having used LinuxFromScratch for several years, I've switched to
Gentoo a few month ago.
Im must say I'm quite impressed.

Still, for a newcomer like me, there remains one problem.
How to upgrade Gentoo?

Having tried to upgrade to udev-103 I fell flat on my face until
I've found a hint by some helpful soul which indicated
that I should unmerge some packages, rc-update del some
scripts before I upgrade to udev-103.

The next step which I'm afraid of is upgrading
to glibc-2.5

Having destroyed (the system) of my machine some years
ago by upgrading glibc (on Suse), I know that this
is not a trivial step.

So, the question:

Is there a general source of information about
warnings, actions to be taking, etc  to be followed
when upgrading certains critical packages.

Many thanks for your help and hints,
Helmut.

 As you might have noticed or heard, cokehabit isn't part of the
 Userreps project any longer. He and Userel obviously didn't get along
 very well and there has been some troubles on IRC and on bugzilla,
 which I didn't get a chance to see though. But I talked shortly with
 cokehabit about it and he didn't object to leave the project, so we
 have a vacant Userreps seat atm.

 Since this is the first time that one of us left, we have to find a
 rule on how we are to restaff that vacant seat. Impov, there are three
 different options that we have. We could either go thru the whole
 voting process again, which seem to be quite some work and would
 definitely need some time or we could simply ask the ones that where
 next on the list from the initial vote, to see if they are still
 interested in doing the job or we let the appointed Userreps decide
 who they want to have in their team to work with.

 Even though the voting idea seems to be the logical thing to do, at
 least to me when I thought about it first, it's the option I really
 don't want to have and almost everyone from Userreps/Userrel agrees on
 this point. It would just take to much time and effort, since we don't
 want the mistakes of the first vote be repeated, like having better
 announcements and getting the whole user community not just forum
 peeps to vote.

 Picking the next one on the list that shows interest, is an option
 that doesn't take much time and seems to be fair since they have
 proven to have the support in the user community at the first vote.

 The third option is to let us Userreps pick someone we know and that
 has shown interest in our project. And plainly spoken, this is the
 option I favor the most, as does the rest of Userreps and Userrel.
 Here is why:

 Building up a team with people that hardly know each other is not an
 easy task. It took us quite some time to get to know each other and to
 find a way to work somehow efficiently together. We are different to
 any other project in Gentoo land because we did not pick our team by
 ourself, but let others, you the user community, choose our team.
 That's the way it has to be of course but it's a handicap,
 nevertheless.

 Since the whole project was started there has only been one user, who
 also ran for Userreps btw, that  followed our moves very closely. He
 is in our channel (#gentoo-userreps) almost all the time, he takes
 part in all our and userrel meetings, he is well known and respected
 in the devs community, he made lots of useful suggestion and took the
 time to write various concepts for his ideas, all of us Userreps value
 him and his opinion quite high and we get along with him very well.

 After the 11th seat got vacant, there wasn't really any discussion
 about it since it was obvious that we all wanted to have
 [url=http://forums.gentoo.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofileu=105924]djay[/url]

 (aka djay-il [irc] aka Alex Bogak [rl]) as our new team member. Most
 of the devs believed that he was a Userrep anyways because he showed
 up at all the meetings and actively took part in all the discussions.
 :lol: And Userrel also seems to strongly agree with this idea.

 So I am here to ask your support to make djay our 11th member on the
 next Userreps/Userrel meeting this Saturday. He knows his way around
 and we know him quite well and he would fit just perfect in our team.
 If you want us to move on, to do the things we were voted for as fast
 as possible, please show us your support by dropping a few lines. If
 you think that this is not ok, please drop us a few lines to explain
 why.

An idea out of the box style:
Why not take that guy djay because he already acts like a part of the
project anyway, the second from the previous voting because it's fast
and logical, and a third one from a new voting because it would be fair?
This way everyone would be happy. ;-)
Yep, why restrict the project to only 11 members?

I had tried to set both of those up at one point, so they were still

 I tried to manually call a g++ command on some code I have, and got the
 following error:

 So my compiler is broke.  Any pointers on how to fix this?
 
 What is the output of:

The bizarre thing is that I can use the tab completion to see that there
is an entry for /usr/bin/as there...

 That link is created by binutils-config. If it's broken switching the right 
 binutils profile once again may fix it (even if it was already chosen):

[gentoo-user] virtual/jdk virtual/jre required but not emerged

2006-12-02 Thread Mark Knecht

I was just finishing up my wife's gcc upgrade after finally getting
MythTV to build. emerge  world is telling me that the job is finished
but --depclean is telling me it isn't.

What am I missing here? Or is this a bug?

Maybe there are new maintenance instructions I've missed?

Thanks,

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

Calculating world dependencies... done!

Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to

If you are still following this thread... It's not your problem... it's an 
unexpected reaction between kbuild in latter version of kernels and portage. 
The simple fix is to patch kbuild in /usr/src/linux...

 I don't normally want it to leave CF cards alone, but just tried and it
 worked perfectly. Bear in mind that there is no differentiation between
 different physical formats of flash media, but that KDE considers
 anything with a dcim directory in the root to be a camera. I just set the
 auto-action for unmounted camera to Ignore and plugged in my camera's
 CF card and it did not automount. all that happened was that an icon
 appeared on the desktop, which I could also disable if I wished.

 It sounds more like a misconfiguration than a bug.

If you spend a bit of time googleing the problem, a lot of people are trying 
to deal with it.

Not everyone works on a desktop/gui all the time... What happens, and this is 
documented in a lot of google matches, once you mount a cf card... hald won't 
let go... the only way to get in unmounted is to turn the hal daemon off. 
This is a horrible situation if you do work with cli while kde is being used 
by someone else.

Misconfiguation? Not on my part.

Form the looks of everything offered... it's easier to not support the kde 
media manager and use autofs... It'll be something to plan on administrating, 
but at least it works 100% with concurrent kde and cli sessions.

At this point, you probably need to boot from a liveCD and restore

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Update - HowTo

2006-12-02 Thread Richard Fish

On 12/2/06, Helmut Jarausch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

The next step which I'm afraid of is upgrading
to glibc-2.5

Having destroyed (the system) of my machine some years
ago by upgrading glibc (on Suse), I know that this
is not a trivial step.


Actually the glibc-2.4 to 2.5 upgrade is pretty trivial, *if* you
already have nptl/nptlonly USE flags set.  If you are using a i386
CHOST (vs i686 or x86_64), then you end up having to change CHOST
before you can upgrade since glibc-2.5 is nptlonly, and that is not
trivial unfortunately.  See the current thread on this list.


So, the question:

Is there a general source of information about
warnings, actions to be taking, etc  to be followed
when upgrading certains critical packages.


Generally speaking, if you set in make.conf:

PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES=warn error log
PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM=save

then any ebuilds that want to warn you or give you actions to take
will create files in /var/log/portage/elog/ for you to read.  You can
just delete these once you've taken whatever action is required.

More complicated upgrades (like the switch to modular-X, or gcc
upgrades) usually have some kind of guide created before they reach
stable.  But at this point, there isn't any single-page reference for
these guides...probably something we should have.

[gentoo-user] problem updating ipod

2006-12-02 Thread Les Henderson

Through a recent 'emerge -uDNv world' I updated my version of gtkpod to
app-pda/gtkpod-0.99.8  Ever since then I've not been able to update my ipod
any longer.  When I start up gtkpod I get the following error message:

$ gtkpod

(gtkpod:32738): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: clearlooks,

I use gnome-2.14.2.

Previously gtkpod would automatically mount and eject ipod device, but it no
longer is doing this, so I've been doing this manually.

After I mount the pod everything appears to proceed as normal until I try to
save the changes, when the program crashes and leaves the following error
messages:

(gtkpod:32738): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(gtkpod:32738): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

** ERROR **: file db-artwork-writer.c: line 357 (write_mhod_type_3):
assertion failed: (string != NULL)
aborting...
Aborted

I can see files on the ipod and the correct amount of space is used on the
pod.  I have tried deleting the files on the ipod and starting over again,
but the same problems occur.

Any idea of how I can solve this problem and get things working again?  I
appreciate help on this, thanks.

[gentoo-user] audacity export mp3 crash

2006-12-02 Thread maxim wexler
Hi group,

When I try to edit an mp3 file in audacity and then
export the result, a window opens which says
audacity must search for libmp3lame, OK? I click yes
and another window opens after a few seconds with
libmp3lame.so in /usr/lib highlighted. Now it gives
two choices: 'Cancel' and 'Open'. Open? Of course, if
'Cancel' is clicked the window closes and we're back
at square one. So I click 'Open' and the PC crashes
forcing a reboot. No error messages. 

Does it actually try to open a library file? That
doesn't seem right. 

-Maxim

Edit /etc/make.conf and add/change ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to
~your-architecture. For example:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86  #means x86 stable
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 #means x86 testing

Then emerge --sync  emerge -Neav world

that is overkill, no need to re-emerge the entire tree.

emerge -uD world will suffice.

[gentoo-user] Compile error for Mythtv 0.19_p10505.

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the latest version of MythTv and I'm running into a

this is what I'm trying to compile:

This system is a fresh install, so I'm at a loss.

First of all, fix your VIDEO_CARDS settings (why do you have two?).  Then, try 
with -opengl and -xvmc.

emerge -opengl worked for me. Not much actually use of mythfrontend on
that machine yet so I don't know the performance impact, if any.

Hope this helps,

 Just for future reference, you want myfile 21.

Oh, I learned this for several times. I hope I can keep it

 Ok, a few things:
 
 1) in your original message, you stated that you had a directory
 
 /usr/lib/gcc/i386-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6
 
 In fact, based on your emerge --info, you should have:
 
 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6
 
 Was this a typo in your original message, or do you have both i386-
 and i686- compilers installed?  (gcc-config -l)

Oops. Indeed I have installed `gcc' twice. SLOT=1 has
version 3.4.6 and SLOT=2 has 4.1.1 . I managed to solve this
with the following steps:

  - remove the 3.4.6 version by emerge -C ...
(almost nothing works now)
  - create symlinks /usr/i386-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin - ..i686...
/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.6 - ... /4.1.1
  - re-emerge gcc, glibc and several other packages

This was probably too much effort, but I'm happy that it
works at all.

The package tetex is compiling without complaint now.

Thank you very much.

Bertram

Ok, it sounds like you just upgraded gcc versions.  So an emerge -e
world is called for if you want to be safe.

Bo,
  Thanks for pointing out the bug report. That does look like what I'm seeing.

  I'm a little unclear about the way Zac finished up at the end of
this report saying 'this has been released'. It is a requirement to
update to testing-level portage, rev. 2.1.2_rc2-r1 or higher before
using the '--with-bdeps y' option? Or do you think it is OK with
stable portage 2.1.1-r2? I do not see --with-bdeps in man emerge on my
system.

On closer inspection this looks more like bug #154919 [1].

 update to testing-level portage, rev. 2.1.2_rc2-r1 or higher before

I wrongly assumed you were already on 2.1.2 despite that I really do know 
better.. ;) Yes, --with-bdeps is a feature that has been added in 2.1.2, 
however, you really don't need it here. Explanation follows..

 Or do you think it is OK with stable portage 2.1.1-r2?
[SNIP]

You can stick with stable for now.

 Calculating dependencies... done!

 Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
 the following required packages not being installed:

 Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --deep world` prior to depclean?

Bug #4698 is a long standing bug which is fixed in 2.1.2 and causing portage 
only to consider the highest slot of any given installed package when 
upgrading world. So since you have kde{libs,su}-3.5.x installed portage  
2.1.2 doesn't notice that you have an older slot which is no longer in the 
tree. The new --depclean algorithm in 2.1.1, however, does notice as you see 
above. So the solution is to prune kdelibs and kdesu...
