[gentoo-user] what happen to GMP C++ (gmpxx)
I guess I did something wrong again. I was trying to install GMP with its C++ interface. However, after finish 'emerge gmp', I got no 'libgmpxx' available. Is there another package for its C++ interface? Or I have to put something in USE? Thanks for any help. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Newbie question: Does gentoo have an expiration date ??

Hi all,
May be this is a stupid question but I had to ask.
I want to keep my gentoo installed in my machine for 3 years or more without
reinstalling it from scratch but just keeping updated. Is it possible ???
How easy to update gentoo to the next coming realeases with the 2.6
kernel. ,gcc, kde, and other major softwares ??
In which case(s) am I forced to reinstall gentoo from scratch ???
{Suppose that my Hardware is in great condition.}
The only situation that I've seen was in were the gcc/libc updates in
the 1.1-1.2 and 1.2-1.3/1.4 era of gentoo. Basically because of the
binary incompatibility of gcc 3.n to 3.n+1 (3.1 to 3.2 maybe, don't
remember exactly) it was a PITA to do an upgrade, because you had to
update your entire system from the ground up, and if something went
wrong you were hooped, so most (myself included) seemed to think that a
re-install with the newer and more forwards compatible version of gentoo
(and gcc) was the way to go. There's nothing to say that this won't
happen again.
As another poster has said the devs do their best, and regular updates
are going to do you fine in the foreseeable future!

Immediately after the GRUB splash screen the text console uses a badly corrupted font.

If I type the root password for single user mode the corruption persists so I am unable to do anything about the problem. If I continue the boot process the screen is corrected when it loads the user font - the entire screen is clear and normal as of that point.

No, the reason being is that the the proven CFLAGS from make.conf are
used in userland applications, the kernel itself is a much different
animal, and runs in a much different enviornment, therefore, CFLAGS that
are stable in userland may not be stable in kernelland.
Moreover, many ebuilds will filter flags out of your cflags, for
example, glibc will fiter out your O2 because it breaks linux-threads.

really, as long as your -march= is right, gcc will do the appropriate -m
(for whatever cpu flags your cpu has) options for you. However, the
problem is that because of the nature of what the kernel does, and
because of how close it is to hardware, and because of how intimately
intertwined it is with GCC, optimizations, other than the ones hard
coded into the kernel's makefile, become very dangorous.
For example, in your CFLAGS -O3 is perfectly safe, however, in the
kernel CFLAGS, it will cause mount to intermitantly trigger a kernel
oops on x86 archs.

If you really want to change your march=athlon (the default on the 2.6

do a search for athlon and change it to athlon XP.
However, as the comment in the makefile indicates, the athlon-xp stuff
adds 0 preformance gains, the only way it would, is if you add
- -mfpmath=sse and -msse to your CFLAGS. since, prefomance wise,
- -march=athlon and -march=athlon-xp are exactly the same, except for the

I am totaly new to this mailing list side, I am totaly confused how to manage the mails from gentoo-user mailing list, I get alot of mails, is there any application that can manage mails or I can browse all the mails online, Which mail reader are you using? It should have a filter system built in, you just have to create the filter rules to send all of the mail with [gentoo-user] in the subject to a separate folder. Sylpheed-claws does this well, and also has a nifty plug in for spamassassin. I am unable to read well all the mails! I can't help you there, I usually ignore the bottom posters, and those unable to quote correctly, though, as that makes it easier to read the rest of the mail. My observation is that the majority of the time those who quote the whole message usually have a one line response, so it's safe to skip them. Once you have identified them, you can add them to what's referred to as a kill file, part of your filter rules to help remove the chaff from the stuff you want to read. I have been practicing the whole read well concept as zen tradition, and I suggest getting comfy, making sure that there is a sufficient quantity of liquid refreshment of your choice on hand (I go with coffee in the am and tea in the pm, myself) to avoid dehydration and achieving freedom from outside interference to be vital; once you have immersed yourself to the point that true mail enlightenment is a possibility, however, I have found that the world always wants to intrude, whether it is the fedex guy ringing the front door to deliver computer hardware or the S.O. asking whether she looks ok in whatever she had on before going to work, you must remember to focus on the task at hand as well as possible given your current state of awareness. As the master said, When I'm hungry, I eat, when I'm tired, I sleep you must strive to read when you read and to strive to adhere to the rules of post etiquette as posted in the temple: Don't over quote. Copying back a long post (more than 20 lines) just to add I agree or me too is considered bad form and wastes download time. Look at the size of the post you are answering and if it is over 10k trim out the portions that are not relevant to your answer. If you are only answering a portion of a question trim out the bits that are not pertinent to your answer. Don't include large files. Please do not attach large graphic files or other attachments (over 30k or so). Most users don't want to download a file when reading a post for time and security reasons. If you have a large graphic or file that is necessary to explain your problem, upload it to your web server and include the URL of the file in your post so others can view it only if they need to. Do not post in html. That is considered to be just plain rude. Ignore trolls. Some people get a thrill from posting flames (really obnoxious messages) just to get a rise out of people. This type of person is known as a troll, and is only striving to prevent you from achieving mail nirvana. Ignore them. There are like those screaming kids at the store who figure that if they yell loud enough and long enough, they will get attention. By replying to them, you are encouraging them, and distracting yourself from mail reading. Use your kill file.

[gentoo-user] fluxbox - 0.9.7 - color of toolbar
Hi, The new version of fluxbox seems to come up with no color for an empty toolbar. I'm using styles in /usr/share/commonbox/styles. I think they come from x11-themes/commonbox-styles. In an email on another list it was suggested that styles now need a new parameter to make them look like they did in 0.1.14. Maybe toolbar:empty, but I tried it and it didn't work for me. Is this sort of thing considered a bug under Gentoo? Should I report it? Or is this just the way it's expected to look from now on? Thanks, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] fluxbox - 0.9.7 - color of toolbar
First off, commonbox is dead. If you still have it you're running an old
version of fluxbox, or you have some left over crud from the Old Days.
Don't know that I understand this statement, but it's helpful. There are a
lot of commonbox references in my menu file that are probably causing the
problem.
Old commonbox styles won't work with the new fluxbox. However, the
themes installed by the new fluxbox (/usr/share/fluxbox/styles) *should*
all work. If not, that's a fluxbox bug as we only install the themes
shipped with fluxbox.
OK, I've got 3 commonbox entries in my .fluxbox/menu file. These were not
cleaned up by the emerge, but I would have been scared if they were. The
replacement for styles is obvious, but what do I do with
[include] {/usr/share/commonbox/imagebgmenu}
[include] {/usr/share/commonbox/solidbgmenu}
??? Just remove them from the menu I guess?
But then, you really want to get some decent themes. http://fluxmod.dk/

Yes. I started looking at this over the weekend but never ended up doing
anything with it.

RE: [gentoo-user] fluxbox - 0.9.7 - color of toolbar
But then, you really want to get some decent themes. http://fluxmod.dk/ is a good place to start, as is the fluxbox-themes ebuild that tseng may or may not be writing. Hi, Don't want to pester tseng just yet, but if he's reading this thread, then 'Tseng - please write an ebuild for themes that actually work right!' Thanks! I tried downloading a couple of themes from the site above. The first one (Granite) didn't have the right stuff in it to make the toolbar have color. The second one, A-Cute-Blue-One, doesn't actually install right, but once I moved things around I found it does have the right stuff, so this is not a fluxbox bug as much as just getting the themes/styles to catch up to what fluxbox is expecting. rant I still think that fluxbox should *not* make a change like this in this way. Why doesn't it recognize that no parameters exist in the style to give color to the toolbar, and as such, that makes it an 'old' style. fluxbox should then have some code to handle old styles in an old way so that users don't waste time messing with this. /rant Thanks!

I don't have the earlier portions anymore and I have no idea when they'll show up in the archives. Blow this email away if it's completely off target. On another non-Gentoo program (Jamin) I was having problems with autoconf stuff and it not being happy with the versions I had on my box. I actually had 2.13 and 2.58 (I think) and the program wouldn't configure. After Googling around a bit I found that if I added AC_PREREQ(2.53) To the configure.in file then it would choose the one it wanted and would build. Again, sorry if htis is off target. Try it out if it is in the area you're having trouble with. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
