[gentoo-user] Can't compile eix
I have a much abused gentoo system on which I was trying to update eix. I get quite a few errors and i am not sure how far back up the output to go. Heres the last bits anyway.

That would make as much sense as installing printer drivers when audio tools were called for. I've run emerge lots of times on the present OS and cups was never requested until now.

Im sorry I dont do things the perfect gentoo way you think they should be done. Take a chill pill and listen to the advice. Using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 has been deprecated for ages, and is useful only in limted circumstances (as outlined by Holly, whose sage advice I will not repeat). however I feel when KDE releases a new version to the mirrors it is time to install it. That wasn't the discussion. I simply asked if there was a simple way to get kde 3.5 onto my machine without spending ages amending /etc/portage/package.keywords. It doesn't call for a debate on how long gentoo ebuilds are tested for. I have had discussions about the whole Deep world thing and everytime i have used it in the past it breaks something so i simply do not use it. I sync everyday and emerge -up world my system to see what is coming in or going out on each of my 4 gentoo boxes at home. I was merely offering a suggestion on how to quicky get KDE-3.5 installled.

read the reply to your other thread. you installed grub on the first partition, not on the mbr. quite likely this over-wrote something essential to lilo. you can now boot with a boot cd and chroot into your environmment (similar to what you did when installing). From there you can fix either grub or lilo and all should be sweet. On Tue, 20 Dec 2005 17:45:00 -0600 reader wrote: How can I get a real eyes on look at what is in the MBR.

The idea of source rpm's is that they contain the pristine sources from the upstream authors, along with a set of patches that get applied when you compile the src.rpm package. So you will likely get inside the src.rpm package: * the original unpatched source as a tar.gz or tar.bz2 file (as packaged upstream) * a set of patch files - some of which may be distro specific, some of which may have been produced elsewhere in the community * a .spec file which is the equivalent of the .ebuild file - ie the build and install instructions * scripts for pre/post install/uninstall actions. So in short it is pretty easy to find what patches have been applied to produce the binary package, provided you can find the src.rpm (even the .spec file will tell you a lot). -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] X USE flag - what does it do?
On Sun, 29 Jan 2006 12:12:45 +0100
Alexander Skwar wrote:
Hi!
Quite a number of packages support a X USE flag. The
package that I'm right now looking at is vlc:
[ebuild R ] media-video/vlc-0.8.4a USE=alsa arts cdda dvd esd ffmpeg
matroska mp3 mpeg nls nsplugin ogg real vlm vorbis win32codecs wxwindows
xml2 xv -3dfx -X -a52 -aac -aalib -avahi -bidi -corba -daap -debug -dts -dvb
-fbcon -flac -ggi -gnutls -hal -httpd -joystick -libcaca -lirc -live -mod
-ncurses -opengl -oss -png -samba -screen -sdl -shout -skins -speex -stream
-svg -svga -theora -truetype -v4l -vcd -xinerama -xosd 0 kB
As you can see, I built vlc with USE=-X. What am I
now missing? When I startup vlc, I still have a X
GUI.
I suspect that something else has dragged in the gui part of glc -
wxwindows IIRC.
A different example - gnupg:
[ebuild R ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.2-r3 USE=X caps* ecc* idea* nls
readline static* usb zlib -bzip2* -curl* -ldap -smartcard 21 kB
As you can see here, gnupg is built with the flag X set.
What has been enabled with that?
A global use flag like X has different effects on different packages.
Ususally it affects whether or not an X gui is built. However the only
wat to really tell is to read the ebuild. In this case:
RDEPEND=!static? (
${COMMON_DEPEND}
X? ( || ( media-gfx/xloadimage media-gfx/xli ) )
)
selinux? ( sec-policy/selinux-gnupg )
This indicates that if the X flag is enabled, there will be a dependency on
either media-glx/xloadimage or media-gfx/xli
econf \
[snip]
$(use_enable X photo-viewers) \
[snip]
${myconf} || die
This indicates that something called photo-viewers is enabled in gnupg
if the X flag is present. What this does, i don't know (or care) and
will leave it to you to discover.
Also quite a number of libraries support X, like
[I--] [ ] gnome-base/libbonoboui-2.10.1-r1 (0)
[I--] [ ] gnome-base/libgnomecanvas-2.12.0 (0)
[I--] [ ] gnome-base/libgtop-2.12.2 (2)
[I--] [ ] gnome-base/libglade-0.17-r6 (0)
What do all of these do with X? And what would go away
if X were disabled (-X)?
See above, look at the ebuilds.

Re: [gentoo-user] System Clock Problems
If your system stopped suddenly the ntp.drfit file may have become corrupted. As I understand it this file has a value in it that tells the system how much drift there is in the system clock, and uses the figutre to compensate. If the figure is way out then the compensation will be way out. Take a look at /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift, if its seems like a large figure, then zero it and start again from scratch. ie stop ntpd, set the clock with ntpdate, then start the ntpd service again (preferably not while recording with mythtv LOL).

This means that the Mini-ITX's should soon have very good (if not excellent) open source support, but currently we have to wait for all these opensource drivers to be implemented by the community (they were released only a few days ago, not enough time to gather volunteers to develop/cleanup the code, merge with linux kernel etc...) AFAIK this is not completely correct, as the mpeg-2 decoder is still a binary module with no available source code. This may apply to other parts of the hardware too. From my point of view with a 1G-1.2G processor, the hardware mpeg-2 decoding is a key component, leave it out of the open bundle and its very annoying. Here is the news item regarding the drivers: http://www.epiacenter.com/modules.php?name=Newsfile=articlesid=508mode=order=0thold=0 Also note that you can get PCI riser cards which will give you two PCI slots with the mini-itx (there exist ones which even give three slots, but these are rare (and quite pricy) ) And there is in the works an EPIA-specific linux distro (with all the drivers/kernel patches already in there) which is in beta (and i think its based on gentoo, not sure, better check).

try emerge info to see what the end result of all the files.

And guess what, so does the dir above have a parent file. And so on. so the make.defaults files in each of the included directories may add something to the profile. emerge info is a far easier way of seeing the end result!

I believe the 2005.x standard is to use the /u/p/p/default-linux/use.defaults; the 2004 version(s) were used by those specific profiles. In fact if you look at the listing it would appear that the intention is that the profile-specific use.defaults are extensions to the d-l/use.defaults file, indicating that at some point along the way it was determined that no 2005.x specific additions are necessary.

[gentoo-user] Advice sought on M9000 epia myth-box setup
I have a recently acquired M9000 epia box. I want to make a gentoo mythtv box. I have set up myth before, but not on an epia box. This machine has a Ezra C3 processor and castlerock graphics (lspci and /proc/cpuinfo below). This page http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags tells me I should use CHOST=i586-pc-linux-gnu CFLAGS=-march=i586 -m3dnow -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer The gentoo install instructions also tell me that if I do a stage three install I cannot change CHOST, so am I right in saying that I have a choice of either doing a stage 1 install and getting i586 from scratch, or else I do an i386 stage 2 or 3 and then I am stuck with i386? And anyway what is the practical difference between i386 and i586 in terms of performance? I haven't done a stage one install before, but I will if there is going to be an appreciable difference in performance. Secondly, I am aware of this Howto http://www.epiawiki.org/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=EpiaHowto However I am not sure how up to date it is, and seek advice as to whether there is anything more up to date, particularly as I am aware of VIA recently opening at least some of their sources. Naturally I am keen to get hardware mpeg-2 decoding working, as well as tv-out. I intend to get a hauppauge pvr-250 or maybe a pvr-150 card for the tuner, these cards have hardware mpeg-2 encoding, and with the onboard mpeg-2 decoding I should be able to squeeze suffcient performance out of it to do some basic hard disk recording, as well as play dvd's.

I then realized after playing arround with the kernel config that the kernel module processor is the source of the problem. As I need this module to be able to change the processor speed it is no solution not to compile this module into the kernel or not to use it as module.

However I have multiple interefaces - lo, eth, and wlan0. I restart wlan0 and it seems that I get these messages. If I was restarting all networking I could understand that but I would have thought that if I restart only a single interface it wouldn't require a complete restart of everything that depends on networking. This may seem like a small issue. I'm not sure it is. (What do I know...I'm not that smart.) Since the machine is running MythTV and Myth requires mythbackend and mythbackend requires mysql and mysql is bound to eth0 when I restart wlan0 it seems a stretch to say that all of this stuff should have to go through a restart. I'm somewhat concerned that it's going to interfere with Myth doing what I want it to do. No eveidence yet that it does. It's just a concern. instead of restarting wlan0, try using pause instead. Its in TFM here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2chap=4 If you want to stop a service, but not the services that depend on it, you can use the pause argument: like /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 pause start (I think you can give two commands on one line, if it doesn't work like that use: /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 pause /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start ) thanks for the info.

Re: [gentoo-user] Crosscompiling
relatively simple. the general idea is thus: 1. make a directory, say mkdir /mnt/target 2. untar a stage3 tarball into there, for the architecture you want. 3. mount various directories mount -t proc none /mnt/target/proc mount -o bind /usr/portage /mnt/target/usr/portage cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/target/etc/resolv.conf 4. chroot su chroot /mnt/target /bin/bash then carry on as per the install instructions. Do not reinstall grub as you will screw your existing setup. When finished tar up /mnt/target and transfer to the new machine. setup grub. go.

I get my logitech z-5500 window shatterer oops I mean sound system today, and a gizmo to connect the s-video out to the rca video in on the tv and then I am most of the way there. Oh and I need to build an infra-red receiver and get lirc going too. Thanks for the emerge sync tip, maybe it is fixed now, I did get it compiled by taking out the mmx USE flag. I will see what -r5 gets me. [Nick shuffles off to ssh into home] Good luck, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
