To expand: K3B is a KDE front end to the various command line cd burning apps that exist. It is quite nice to use, has a fairly simple and intuitive layout.

Hi, I´m just trying to get my cd-rw working, I merged cdbakeoven, but for some reason it didn´t work and it´s hard to use.

I have a Targus USB Go Anywhere: a USB keychain drive. I've found that if I have the kernel's SCSI disk support compiled statically, each successive hotplug of the device will cause it to be assigned a new device number (sda1, sda2, etc.). However, if SCSI disk support is compiled as a module (sd_mod), this problem doesn't occur. I have to include sd_mod in `/etc/modules.autoload' in this case. It will not be automatically loaded for whatever reason. I know that this is a kluge, but it works well enough unless you must have static SCSI disk support (booting from a SCSI disk, for instance).

[gentoo-user] Game compilation problems - Chromium & Sniper
I've tried to emerge chromium and orbital-eunuchs-sniper. Chromium works, but with no audio - it complains that there was some error in the audio check process and gives up on it (works fine besides that). My audio setup is a simple one: OSS es1371 (Creative Vibra 128), no ALSA. I compiled with USE flags esd and arts, tried running with artsd running, with esd running, with neither running... nothing. Audio everywhere else is just fine - xmms, frozen-bubble, zsnes, wolfenstein_et. The problem with orbital-eunuchs-sniper is worse: It shows up a black window and changes the cursor to a round crosshair, and after about 1.2 seconds it disappears and segfaults with the SDL parachute. The only thing I can think of is that I recently upgraded my kernel from gentoo-source-2.4.20-r2 to gentoo-source-2.4.20-r5, and enabled preempt. Nothing should be wrong with the config, as I used "make oldconfig", and I haven't been having problems otherwise. -- Tactless "If it wasn't for fog, the world would run at a really crappy framerate."

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge libgsf-1.8.1 Problem, and hassle workaround
Actually this wasn't just in this library, I found this same problem in several of the gnome library upgrades (and new installs) Rod Smart wrote: Hello. Whats changed in the emerging of libgsf-1.8.1? It seems that soon after the archive is extracted, the libgsf-1.8.1/doc/html directory that is created from the archive is erased. When you build this program, it tries to install "index.sgml" and as the directory had been erased, the file no longer exists... My fix.. 1/. emerge libgsf 2/. after archive has been unpackaged 3/. copy contents of directory to a secure location (away from install dir) 4/. emerge libgsf 5/. in the "installation phase" of the emerge process 6/. cp -rf /html -> back to original location 7/. fg (resume the haulted process) The steps above worked and installed the package, so why has this version actually erase the archive "doc" directory after extraction? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Dependancy checking?
How deep or how far are dependancies checked? I just completed a ... emerge -u world where ImageMagick was upgraded from 5.5.5 -> 5.5.6 and dvdrip was also upgraded, unfortunatly, transcode was not recompiled as it had not changed in versions. This caused a BIG problem, as the libMagic library (/usr/lib/libMagick) had gone from 5.5.5 - 5.5.6 and the 5.5.5 version was unmerged, transcode programs were still trying to referance to the older 5.5.5.so.0 library. So this brings me to ask why, if some files are "Dependant" upon certain version of lib's that they are not recompiled if the libs change... ie. if ( -e ) then emerge program name Or, "if" this program is installed and a lib gets updated then this program should be linked into the "ebuilds" so that program is also updated with the new lib's... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Gentoo/m68k
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Everyone! This is to let everyone on these list know about my progress concerning Gentoo/m68k. I have been working for the past month on the port and have made signifigant progress. Portage is working, and a Stage1 has been built. However, I was overzealous with my CFLAGS and added -O3, which made my Stage1 chroot do odd things. Then, I decided to rebuild the entire system, but Debian's gcc package broke, which had me cursing for about 2 weeks. I had glibc builds failing left and right. (Well, actually, only one failed every day, since I'm on a 33MHz machine. :) Anyhow, that's all fixed now, and I hope to have an official stage1 tarball ready soon. What this e-mail is for is to hopefully gather interest in the port so that the powers that be may make it an official Gentoo architecture. I realize that m68k is 10-years old, but it still has several uses, and Gentoo can fulfil those uses quite nicely. I have two Sun 3/80s that serve as DNS for me, and a Performa 550 as a NTP server, A Quadra 660AV for video, etc. As the Monty Python line goes, "They're Not Dead Yet!" With Gentoo, we'll be able to squeeze every last bit of performance out of these old beasts, as well as trim down the distribution to a minimum, lending itself to netbooding and embedded work. m68k hardware covers a vast landscape, including but not limited to Macintosh, NeXT, Sun3, HP300, Amiga, and Atari. These machines were high-end at the time, and can still be put to good use. Thanks for reading, and if you're interested in the work I've done, please reply, so I can know that what I've done is worth releasing, and the fine folks at Gentoo can know that m68k is a platform worth supporting.

Re: [gentoo-user] devfs
Well, we don't want the LiveCD stuff baked into the Gentoo source - or any kernel. The point of the kernel building section is to produce a kernel for our systems - not a generic, safe, will work anywhere one. To make a useful kernel means we select things like file systems, peripheral support, etc. In my case I don't use gentoo-sources but run xfs-sources because I want xfs support. I also have different peripherals, processors, and motherboards then you or others do so I need to select different options to make the kernel useful. > Brett I.

Actually, those are native threads, unless you have an old JVM. Linux lists all threads in the output of ps aux.

My guess is you'll find that they're identical for your compiler processes - they're getting all the resident memory they're asking for. As for the other performance issue - the cost of sending your stdout to a terminal emulator running under X instead of a raw console... I'm pretty sure that cost is lost in the noise. The openoffice build is taking a long time because it's a huge chunk of software. Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] MozillaFirebird Nightly Builds
Hi all- I have the 0.6 MozillaFirebird installed from the ebuild but would like to begin using the nightly drops as well. Normally, on debian, I can just download the build and untar it in /usr/local and begin to use it. When I do this with mozilla emerged it wants to find the MozillaFirebird-bin in /usr/lib/mozilla instead of the directory it is really in. I think that this is because of environmental variables that Mozilla sets for itself. How do people use the nightly binary builds on Gentoo? Thanks! -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.

[gentoo-user] MSI K7D Motherboard problems
I just bought me a MSI K7D Master L motherboard and when trying to boot Gentoo 1.4 RC1 CD (Only one i have burned at the moment) it comes up with a partition check and freezes. it runs windows no problem, running 2003 server now, had XP on a while ago. anyway, i tried redhat 9.0, it boots and starts installing, but i get a kernel panic, but no info because its in gui and no logs are created since its an install. suse 7.3 eval boot CD works grand, no problems what so ever. so what can i do? i have 1.4Rc4 downloaded, but i havent burned it yet. will soon. is there any problems with this board? i havent updated the BIOS, its the one out of the box (not sure version number now). i have the new bios here, but havent installed it yet. sorry about the ramblingins. any ideas though? I really want to run linux on this box. PS. only 1 CPU in it at the moment. waiting on my MP chips. its just a standard non MP chip. could that be a problem? Also i hear kernel 2.4.21 is out. would that fix the problem? Lotas T Smartman www.lotas-smartman.net www.the-hairy-one.com

Right now the docs (x86 install) say to check experimental reports and select /dev and auto mount at boot. That's how I've done it since I've started and it works.

If I now exchange the card in camera and try to mount it as /dev/sda1, I'll receive the same error message as you, but if I use /dev/sdb1 everything is OK.

I´ve got a 1400Mhz AMD Athlon computer with 256RAM,
and it´s been compiling from 8pm last night an is
still compiling today [10:35am], I don´t know what´s
going on. Even the gentoo installation didn´t take
this long!
This could be because I´m doing from the kde konsole,
and I was asking if someone knew if I could stop the
compiling in the kde konsole and continue it, after I

Re: [gentoo-user] stop & continue merging
Control-z is typically suspend. To later be resumed with the fg command.
That might work. I've never suspended a compile myself so I can't say for
sure. I use control-z a lot if I am reading my email and need to check
something. It may or may not have deeper complication with more exotic
programs. But if you find it works, by all means let me know.

This has already been answered as emerge -e world, but I have some more info for you. At any time if the emerge dies [or you control-c it] you can pick up where you left off with emerge --resume. The --resume can also be treated like a normal emerge in the sense that you can emerge --resume -p to see what you have left.

Actually, I can see a 1.1 ebuild sitting here. I think I'll try it out -
I highly doubt that it'll finish at night though. As for the CFLAGS -
they're filtered out.

[gentoo-user] 2.4.21... Dead in the water...
Well... with all the talk about 2.4.21 on the net and this mail list... I grabbed a copy and started fooling around. BOY, did I get some odd mixed results... Framebuffer support in this ga release is very good. I'm able to capture video with my wingo and ctl-atl-fnc-X to a terminal and not crash the system. In 2.4.20 or any of the recent 2.4.21-rc versions... if I load a kernel with framebuffer support in it, once I start X, I can never switch back to a terminal or leave X without totally locking up my computer. Other odd thing with 2.4.21, acpi or apm both fail to modprobe horribly... I'm not able to cleanly shutdown-h without either power manager loaded. Both compile cleanly... either as a dedicated service or with both services in one kernel. Without a PM loaded... it's not good to turn off the computyer when I'm done. So, for now, I'm going back to the better debugged 2.4.20 kernel. No hassles there except for the framebuffer problem mentioned above. I'd be willing to bet that 2.4.22 will be out in less time than 2.4.21 took...

I've just been trying to understand this too. As far as I know, you have
to use sg_map to create the /dev/sda entry. sg_map is part of sg3_utils.
I can't find an ebuild for it, but it builds from source with no
problem.
After emerging hotplug, I added the following file:
/etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage
#!/bin/bash
exec >/tmp/hotplug 2>&1
# this fails for some mysterious reason, so we keep trying
# until it works
for ((c=10; c != 0; c--))
do
/bin/umount /mnt/photo
/usr/local/bin/sg_map
/bin/mount /mnt/photo
if [ $? == 0 ]
then
break;
else
sleep 10;
echo looping $c
fi
done
echo mount successful
find /mnt/photo -name "*.jpg" -exec cp {} /tmp \;
/bin/umount /mnt/photo
For some reason the mount doesn't always work. I'm strill trying to
figure that part out. Once it mounts, this script just copies all jpg's
to /tmp, but obviously you could do whatever you want.
I'm still trying to figure out how to know when the script is done. It
would be nice if the lights on teh CF reader would go out when it
unmounts, but that doesn't happen.

Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice.org
I have also found that OOo is much more stable when compiled from source
than when just installed with pre-compiled binaries. I have some pretty
aggressive Cflaggs (IMHO):
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr
-falign-functions=64 -mfpmath=sse,387"
And have not had any compile problems with OO, however that could be
because the ebuild disregarded them, but whatever it still compiled for
me. I would like to see a 1.1beta source ebuild instead of the binary
merge. Good luck, also if you leave it to compile at night when you
wake up it will be done, no lost productivity time ;)

Re: [gentoo-user] devfs
Hello all, I am happy to find this thread because I have a strange problem: This morning I recompiled my kernel (I used stage3 default), and kept the old one in /boot in case my setup didnt work. When I rebooted I had an error message telling me that devfs was missing and then I rebooted in the old kernel and tried to reconfigure. But using either make config or make menuconfig, I cant find the options about devfs!! Supposedly they should be in "file system", after the "proc file system support". And when I quit make menuconfig and check for DEVFS in .config, I get: # CONFIG_DEVFS_FS is not set # CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT is not set # CONFIG_DEVFS_DEBUG is not set How can force these options to appear in make menuconfig?

I can fix this with appending devfs=mount into the kernel options. Actually, I can't. It's not working. I also read through some of the other emails and I don't have a /proc/config entry to read off my kernel configuration, but 'grep DEVFS /usr/src/linux/.config' shows that I have: CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y and it's still not working. I made an earlier comment about this not being in the kernel and was met with some skepticism at the time. I think that the difference is that my installation was from Stage1. I don't know if it matters or not. But I was surpised to find some of the settings I did find (and not find) in the kernel source configuration and the lack of any mention in the documentation: DEVFS support is not enabled SMP is default and the aforementioned /proc/config option... I don't recall any others right now, but this leads me to believe the the gentoo-source kernel has not been completely updated to be a working copy of the kernel based on their largest x86 architecture population (single CPU with DEVFS for starters) or that it may be in an inconcistent state between the two. Further review of the Installation tells me as a recovery I could reboot with the CD, copy the /proc/config into a file on my partitions and try that. But it seems kind of strange that if I can boot from the LiveCD, and that I am downloading the gentoo-sources and not the vanilla-sources, that these kernel sources are not already based upon the working LiveCD configuration file but something that is entirely incompatable with the architectural design of gentoo for x86. I'll try the LiveCD process and if that works then I'm off to find out why all my modules are missing and where I can get AGP support even though that is also compiled into the kernel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] IMAP server connection problem in Evolution
Hi all, i used Evolution a long time to get mails from my mail server using IMAP. Some months ago, i started to have an error message when evolution was trying to fetch mails: "Could not connect to my.mail.server (port 143): Connection refused". I thought it was a known evolution bug for the version i was using and i as waiting for a new version, but it does nothing, i started to downgrade, switch to 1.3, 1.4 now, i always have the same problem but my mail server is completely accessible! Using pine on the same machine works, mutt too and my webserver makes webmail on it and works too. I don't know where the problem come from :/ I've looked to the bug archives on ximian.com. nothing. Could someone help me ? I'de like to use Evolution again. Thx a lot, sorry for my english :) -- Aurélien Gouny _ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Getting uml to work
I've been trying to get user-mode linux to work under gentoo, mainly by trying to follow the instructions on gentoo.org. However, I can't get the kernel to build: ligur linux # make linux ARCH=um .. [lots of output] .. make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/uml/linux-2.4.20-r1/include/asm/vm86.h', needed by `/usr/src/uml/linux-2.4.20-r1/include/asm/processor.h'. Stop. Ok, usermode-sources is masked, but still... Is there some way to get this to work via gentoo's system or should I go for patching stuff manually? // Joel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice.org
I think you get better fonts if you compile openoffice. also it is a lot more stable. I found that using a compiled version of any program seems to be more stable then binary that has been compiled for most types of systems. eg: before i used mozilla downloaded and installed from binary. It would sometimes crash if i use too many windows at a time (that was before tabs were invented ;-)) Then i tried gentoo and compiled it. I don't remember mozilla crashes anytime. Also this could be becuase of gentoo but i'm think its becuase i compiled the program for my own systems spec. > Gëzim Hoxha wrote: >> Hi, >> I started merging openoffice and it´s really taking >> it´s time [about 5 hours] and it´s not yet done.
