You're on the right track with the wrong command. 'equery depends 
 tells you what packages depend on the given package. You 
want 'equery belongs ' which will tell you what ebuild put the 
file there. You get three cases:

1. It's an orphan, left over from an unmerge that wasn't fully 
successful. if you don't need them, delete them.
2. A package was installed, and it created it's own binaries for it's 
own use. Portage didn't put them there so doesn't know about them. This 
is rare and usually applies to config and other data files. In this 
case it's up to you to figure out what the file is as portage can't 
help.
3. You compiled something long ago by hand and didn't put it 
in /usr/local/ like you were supposed to, and used /usr/ instead. In 
this case you get to remember what you did by yourself :-)

Sorry, but that's never a good reason for using Gentoo. If a binary 
distro compiles every option under the sun then the software will still 
work, but the binaries might be a bit big. Compiling on your machine 
gives no discernable performance benefit for the average user.

Gentoo's strength is in being able to enable or disable individual 
features in each package. So, if you (say) can't stand Red Hat becuase 
it defaults to a Gnome DE, use Gentoo by all mans. If you can't stand 
Red Hat becuase you think it's slow, then you have faulty hardware and 
Gentoo is going to perform about the same...

Doesn't matter, it comes out to the same anyway. The minimal CD has only 
the absolute minimum sources on it, so you have to download the rest. 
The LiveCD gets you up and running in an hour or two, but the packages 
on it are bound to have updates (because OSS projects release early and 
often), so with your first world update you will download new versions.

Use the Live CD if you want to get a working machine quickly. If 
watching gcc output scroll off the screen turns you on (it does for 
most of us around here) then use the minimal by all means.

It's been a while since I did a virgin install, so things might have 
changed recently. Back when I did my last install, the process was 
completely different to a binary distro, and one of the steps was to 
partition the disk manually, install grub and edit grub.conf exactly 
the way you want it. So your answer is yes, you can assign boot disks, 
but it isn't a check box you click. But, the latest installers may well 
have changed the entire process

It's not a matter of emerge being confused or not knowing enough to remove the 
old packages. It's a matter of emerge not being permitted to remove any 
packages that temporarily break things without the user knowing about and 
permitting it first. So instead it aborts while informing the user about the 
block and allowing the user to make a decision.

In this particular case it's not even about anything needing to be removed (at 
least not anymore). It's simply that when accepting ~arch keywords for xfce4 
you need to accept ~arch keywords for xfce4-extras too for them to be 
compatible.

For future reference, you may need to edit the xorg.conf file and the

The keymap where?  The keymap on the console should be es after the

xorg.conf, or set it with 'setxkbmap es' from the commandline.  Or

Well, I didn't want to bore you - I think I may have already posted about my 
troubles with it in the past.  It is a Belkin USB WiFi adaptor, Model No. 
K7SF5D7050A, which seems to have a RaLink chipset.  I have had some success 
running it with the rt2x00- drivers from CVS and USE="rt2500usb" (the 
stable rt2500 crashed my system every time).  However, after Christmas the 
rt2x00 driver has not worked and keeps giving me kernel panics every time I 
plug it in the USB port, e.g.:

http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=18890#18890

I suspect it may have something to do with the 2.6.19 kernel.  All different 
CVS builds that I have tried crashed.  Tried to install pre-Christmas builds 
from the archives, also crashed.  Hence I'm fed up being without WiFi for so 
long and thought of using an Amazon voucher I have handy to get myself a nice 
cardbus; but this time I would like to make sure that I have something which 
definitely works with Linux.

However, if you have any ideas to make my Belkin USB work again then I'll use 
that voucher for something else.  :)

Thank you all for your helpful advice and links.

Having been burned once I would rather go for something which has matured

OK, a couple of things.  When I do orca -t from a text console, I get
two voices at the same time.  This also happens when I do
gnome-speech.  The two voices go away once I select festival and the
voice I wish to use.  The main problem is that if I start X even after
doing the orca -t and stopping X, I get no speech except sometimes it
says "welcome to focus tracking mode", but noth8ing else.  The menus
say nothing, nor alt-f2.  Festival server is started.

[gentoo-user] Gnome and Portage issues

[Gyuszk]

Dear developers, and users of Gentoo Linux,

I'm quite experienced Linux and Gentoo user (user, not developer).
On my Gentoo box there are three possible bugs - or not bugs, just
configuration or other things - that annoys me.

I'm using the latest software found in Portage tree. The first Gnome
issue: I like to enjoy start icons on my Gnome panels (next to System
menu). Everything is ok, I put Firefox, Thunderbird, Gaim, Xchat icons
on the panel...etc, then I log out of Gnome (using the standard and o.k.
way, system -> log out).
When I log in back, those icons disappear. What is more annoying, none
of them, just some of them. I don't know what mechanism drives that, now
my Computer, Home folder and Terminal icons are consistent, they doesnt
disappear, every other icons disappear. Remember I'm talkin about
startup icons that I put there by hand from the Gnome menu. The tray
icons, clock, mixer, etc etc is working flawlessly. All in all, is it a
possible Gnome bug that should be announced on bugs.gentoo.org (or the
upstream Gnome bug tracker), or have I just messed up something?
On the start, I installed Gnome-Light, then I removed that
metapackage and emerged gnome. After that Gnome worked, but this icon
annouyig bug appeared. I tried to clean up my home for config files and
folders, then log in again, but did not help.

Other. Portage. I have set some USE flags globally in make.conf and
other package-specific USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use.

make.conf:

Above there are my config files. As you can see, there are several
global and several package specific USE flags set. When I'm doing
"emerge -pve world", I can see that it wants to rebuild every packages
on the system (that is normal) but I can see that it wants to use the
changed USE flags! emerge -N world dont want to do this? What's going on?

Some examples from emerge -pve world:

ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/eog-2.16.2  USE="jpeg -debug -lcms" 1,028 kB
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.3.3  USE="X gnome opengl -debug -doc
-joystick -odbc -sdl -unicode*" 18,519 kB
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.16.2-r1  USE="-debug -eds
-spell" 603 kB
[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/evolution-2.8.2.1  USE="crypt dbus* hal ipv6
ssl -bogofilter -debug -doc -kerberos -krb4 -ldap -mono -nntp -pda
-profile -spell" 12,619 kB
[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.0.5  USE="X jpeg mpeg perl
png* tiff* wmf* zlib -bzip2 -doc -fpx -graphviz -gs -jbig -jpeg2k -lcms
-nocxx -truetype -xml" 5,259 kB
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.3  USE="-berkdb* -debug -doc
-firebird -freetds -ldap -mdb -mysql -oci8 -odbc -postgres -sqlite
-xbase" 1,051 kB

As this email is clear text, I cannot mark, but from the USE flags, it
is obvious that Portage now considers all my USE flag demands, although
emerge -pvN world don't. That is what I don't understand.

Is this a possible Portage bug, or I just messed up something?

Some other config files:

ganja gyuszk # cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
x11-plugins/desklet-ftb ~x86
x11-plugins/desklet-weeklycalendar ~x86
net-im/amsn
app-emulation/wine ~x86
ganja gyuszk #


My whole system was rebuilt (emerge -e system, emerge -e world) with the
make.conf above. Only USE flags was changed.

Gnome again. Then I click System, administration, gdm setting (My gnome
is hungarian, I don't know what is it called exactly in english),
nothing happens. It tries to grant privileges as I can see on taskbar,
but nothing happens. I tried to adjust "privilege granting" setting in
gnome options, didnt help.

All in all:

- gnome: icons disappear, privilege granting doesnt work
- portage: USE f

The install process of Gentoo is much different from the other distros
that you mentioned.  Basically the install is done from the command
line.  You partition your disks yourself, you create the filesystem,
install the basic packages, configure the configuration files with nano
or something, etc.  It's not hard, its just intensive.

To answer your question, yes you can install to your just your 2nd HDD.
 You can opt to install GRUB or LILO where ever you wish leaving the
previous bootloader on the MBR intact.

As to the medium.  I use the minimal personally.  The Live has an
automated installer but I've never been able to get it to work.

Read this, it will be your best friend during the install...

[gentoo-user] accessibility problems using gnome and orca

[John covici]

Hi.  I am having accessibility problems using orca, gnome-speech0.4.9
(or .6) and so far festival.  Is this the right place to ask, or is
there a better list for this?

Thanks.

[gentoo-user] emerge numpy 1.0.1-r1 failing: can't find cblas

Today's update-failed-emerge is numpy 1.0.1-r1:

I did as the error message and tried "eselect cblas set".  The

Oddly, "eselect cblas list" shows nothing, even though I do
have a both atlas and reference cblas implementations
installed:

 sci-libs/cblas-reference 20030223-r1
 sci-libs/blas-atlas 3.7.11
 sci-libs/lapack-atlas 3.7.11

Has anybody else gotten numpy-1.0.1-r1 to build?

[gentoo-user] Re: revdep-rebuild question

[7v5w7go9ub0o]

Alan,
   Seems reasonable. Would I (Could I?) then do an equery depends on
each binary and assuming nothing depends on it remove them by hand
without causing damage?

   I'd want to do another revdep-rebuild every so often to ensure that
things remained consistent.




Makes sense to me - doing the equery on the package that installed the
binary (which may have a name unrelated).

IIUC, there are two tools useful for second/third opinions for this task;
dep and pquery. Here's an example of their use on fftw:

dep -L fftw

pquery --vdb --revdep sci-libs/fftw

And as you idicated, do a revdep-rebuild after the manual deletion.

Probably want to do a (b)elongs instead of a (d)epends, but yes, assuming 
you aren't maintaining those binaries outside of portage's control.  (E.g. 
locally compiled or from a foreign package system.)

Yep.  revdep-rebuild used to be part of my daily system maintenance script 
(and will be put back once I figure out a good way to use paludis instead 
of emerge for the remerge part).

I'm not really a C programmer but I tried replacing "disconnect" with
"close" in that one call from hal.c in hwinfo. That makes it compile ok,
but running it makes dbus complain that I'm not allowed to close a
shared connection.

The most logical explanation AFAICT is that this version of hwinfo
expects some other version of dbus. Anybody have any hints ?

Coming from SuSE I'm sort-of lost when I don't have hwinfo, I go there
all the time to double-check what drivers I should use for disks, X
(drm) and all manner of other things.

The obvious replacement for "hwinfo --cpu" is "cat /proc/cpuinfo", but
for the other stuff I feel like I'm stumbling in the dark...

  
hwinfo also doesn't compile on my notebook. Try downgrading to an older 
version of dbus and checkout the changelog and the README file.


However there are a lot of other ways to get informations about your 
hardware.

Just to name a few:
lspci
cat /proc/meminfo
cat /proc/modules
/proc/acpi/*
cat /proc/filesystems
cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
/proc/scsi/*
...

You can also find a lot of information under /sys/

Yea, upgrading to XFCE 4.4 is a PITA.

The package structure/organization was changed completely, so
emerge gets confused.  It knows it can't install libxfce4util
because a bunch of older packages that were combined into
libxfce4util are still installed.  For whatever reason, emerge
doesn't know enough to remove the old packages.

I ended up removing all of the XFCE 4.2 packages with emerge -C.  

Only then was I able to emerge XFCE 4.4.

It looks like your system wants to emerge xfce-extras-4.2.3.2 instead of
xfce-extras-4.4.0-r1. If you put the line:

xfce-base/xfce4-extras

in your /etc/portage/package.keywords file, that should do the trick as
far as unmasking xfce4-extras-4.4. However, you'll still need to put the
dependencies for xfce4-extras in the package.keywords file. As far as I
can tell, these are:

xfce-extra/xfce4-mount
xfce-extra/xfce4-dict
xfce-extra/xfce4-taskmanager
xfce-extra/xfce4-screenshooter
xfce-extra/xfce4-quicklauncher
xfce-extra/xfce4-xkb
xfce-extra/xfce4-datetime
xfce-extra/xfce4-notes
xfce-extra/xfce4-fsguard
xfce-extra/xfce4-systemload
xfce-extra/xfce4-netload
xfce-extra/xfce4-cpugraph
xfce-extra/xfce4-timer
xfce-extra/xfce4-clipman
xfce-extra/xfce4-weather

What kind of dependency issues you might run into with these, I don't
know; I haven't actually installed the packages.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

Doug

My guess would be that portage cannot assign the broken binaries
(/usr/bin/avibench etc) to an ebuild, and therefore there cannot be
anything to emerge.

They might be orphan binaries from a previous incomplete unmerge, or
something locally compiled, or even files installed from a foreign
package system (.tgz or .rpm perhaps?)

Ah, hrm.  I believe in the future you will be able to accept this package 
by using the special keyword "*", but that doesn't work right now.  I'm 
not sure though.

You could edit the ebuild, but put it in a non-sync'd overlay or it will 
get blown away next time you sync that repository/overlay.

Thanks for your support. I've tried both options, but unfortunately
either Portage is trying to reemerge the existing version, or it's
displaying the same error message.

To my surprise, the output is:

KEYWORDS=""

There are... No keywords? I'm puzzled. I'm using x86 architecture.
Should I then edit the ebuild and manually add my arch to KEYWORD
variable? I'm just guessing - maybe it will help somehow.

[gentoo-user] Can't emerge dazuko 2.3.x with kernel 2.6.20

[Ralph Seichter]

Has anybody successfully emerged "sys-fs/dazuko" on a machine using
kernel version 2.6.20? I tried dazuko-2.3.2-r3 and dazuko-2.3.3_pre1,
but emerge fails with errors like in the attached build log. I haven't
yet found anything about this on bugs.gentoo.org or MARC.

Check your kernel configuration, particularly the "Distributed Lock 
Manager" 
option, CONFIG_DLM.  You may need that part of mainline so that your 
out-of-tree module works.

Hrm, double-check (by looking at your filesystem) to make sure it's in the 
wrong place.  If so, please file a bug, that behavior is broken.


By the way, the format of your question was excellent, IMHO.  It had the 
right 
information about how your Gentoo system is set up and the exact, initial 
error message.

domainname does NOT show the DNS domain.

Yes, after adding a.b.c.d  myhost.my.domain myhost in /etc/hosts,
hostname --> myhost
and hostname -f -->  myhost.my.domain
:)

but domainname --> (none)

Anyway, thanks for you and all others

This is not windows. The /etc/hosts trick works as soon as you finish 
editing the file, without the need to restart anything.
I guess other methods would require network restart, but definitely not a 
reboot. The only thing that needs a reboot is when you want to use a new 
or different kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] Which wireless cardbus?

Which chipsets have the more mature drivers?


You don't state which model of Belkin you tried, but I can assure you  
that they do a "set" (USB, cardbus, PCI) of 802.11g cards that are  
excellently supported by the rt2500 drivers. These are excellent, are  
OSS & you can get them with `emerge rt2500`.


I've also used cards which use the prism54 & madwifi drivers, which  
both do "master mode" (for building a wireless access point or base- 
station under Linux) and are both excellent. Jean Tourrilhes' page at  
HP.com is quite up-to-date on the situation with the prism54 drivers,  
I think, and I've never seen a cardbus card using this chipset,  
anyway, but if you can get hold of a card that's well supported by  
prism54 then it's very easy to use and the driver is in the main  
kernel tree.


The Atheros chipset supported by madwifi is capable of doing 802.11a  
as well as b & g - not all cards do "a", but they're not too  
difficult to find. madwifi-ng is a little non-standard in the way you  
configure the card (so I guess it might not work so well with  
graphical wireless configuration utilities) but it offers some more  
advanced features (VAPs, or "virtual access-points" in master-mode,  
for instance, allow you to have WEP & unencrypted interfaces on the  
same card; hence with iptables you can set different firewall rules  
for ath0 & ath1).







I recommend this card, but if you're outside the UK contact in  
advance regarding shipping:

Ok, then you probably need to add your host's FQDN to the file /etc/hosts 
(eg, a.b.c.d   myhost.my.domain   myhost). I found it to be the only 
method to have hostname -f working.

Since the handbook does not mention this, I'm still thinking that I'm 
probably missing something, but even a fresh install has the problem

I added this line in /etc/conf.d/net:
dns_domain_lo="MY_DOMAIN"


I restarted the net.lo  but still the same result:
# domainname
(none)

# hostname and hostname -f
MY_HOST

My DNS server is running but it works only as dns cache server.

So, do I need to configure it as DNS for this machine and the others in
LAN to have hostname and domainname commands working correctly?

DNS domain name is not set via /etc/conf.d/domainname anymore. You should 
use /etc/conf.d/net for that.

This is how I have mine set to smoker:

Replace smoker with the name you want.  I would assume the domainname
would be set the same way.

Hope that helps.

[gentoo-user] loop devices not present

[Alan McKinnon]

Hi all,

Kernel 2.6.20-gentoo

My various /dev/loop/* devices used to always JustWork, until a recent 
update. Unfortunately I can't tell when the breakage happened.

Right now what happens is I don't get these devices automatically 
and 'mount - o loop' fails. A simple 'modprobe loop' fixes this, the 
kernel is configured as I've been using it for ages:

config-2.6.20-gentoo:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m
config-2.6.20-gentoo:CONFIG_KMOD=y

Oddly, I never had 'loop' in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 before 
(I do now), anyone know of a recent change that would cause this?

cat /etc/conf.d.hostname

and cat /etc/conf.d/domainname
DNSDOMAIN="MYDOMAIN"

The hostname service is added to the /etc/init.d/ with rc-update,

but the commande hostname give:
#hostname
MYHOST

and
# hostname -f
MYHOST

I tried to add the domainname service:
sudo rc-update add domainname default

What is wrong or missing  in my configuration ?

That does it: one has to enable SATA after make oldconfig, as SATA / PATA
options are no more included in SCSI option and thus not re-enabled by
oldconfig.

FATAL: Error inserting lock_dlm (/fs/gfs_locking/lock_dlm/lock_dlm.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
* Failed to load lock_dlm kernel 
module   [ !! ]



The dmesg message is


CMAN 1.03.00 (built Dec  7 2006 15:04:19) installed
NET: Registered protocol family 30
CMAN: Waiting to join or form a Linux-cluster
CMAN: forming a new cluster
CMAN: quorum regained, resuming activity
DLM 1.03.00 (built Feb  1 2007 15:11:38) installed
lock_dlm: Unknown symbol lm_unregister_proto
lock_dlm: Unknown symbol lm_register_proto


Apart from the occurring problem it is strange for me that emerge 
installs the kernel module into the root directory of the system (see 
error message above) and not into "/lib/modules/..." as I would expect.


Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated.

Best regards,

Stefan

"wa" is "wait" - a process is trying to do IO and it is being blocked as 
something else is using a resource the process wants to use. SO it sits 
and does nothing, much the same way you sometimes sit in your car and 
do nothing at the McDonalds drive-through queue.

Usually a blocked process will consume no cpu time (as it's doing 
nothing), but it can slow the machine down and make it less responsive 
while many processes sit and wait

Rconfigure and recompile the kernel:

make menuconfig -> Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Direct 
Rendering Manager

make it a module. Or, you can just deselect it as the ati drivers 
provide their own drm implementation. If you leave the in-kernel 
version enabled as a module you will have to ensure that the drm module 
is not loaded when X starts

This is all documented by ATI in nice html format in an "ati*" directory 
in /usr/share/doc/
