I have been building my own gentoo box from scratch with the latest stage1.

Now, I'm compiling everything and the kde stuff with the following USE 
variable

# echo $USE
-java -gnome kde dvd cdr alsa jpeg tiff jpeg tiff gimpprint

BUT

kdeartwork fails during compilation. Here it is an extract of the session:

Re: [gentoo-user] When did X.org get installed?

 Hi Gentoo Users,
 
 This may sound like a weird question, but how do I find out when X.org

 When I originally installed Gentoo, it was with XFree86, not X.org...
 and I recently discovered during an emerge -upD world that it's
 recompiling X.org. I'm assuming I must have kicked off an emerge
 world in the past, left it running overnight, woke up the next
 morning to find that everything was still OK, and never noticed the
 transition...
 
 Any suggestions as to how I can find this out? Does anyone know when
 XFree86 was deprecated in Portage?
 
 Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
 
It seems that at somepoint, xfree-4.3.0-r8 got renamed to
xorg-x11-4.3.0-r8. The next emerge -uD world upgrades it to
xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 and xterm and utempter got installed.

Re: [gentoo-user] The Gimp jpeg HELP

I didn't succeed!

I had a go with:

# echo $USE
-java -gnome kde dvd cdr alsa jpeg tiff jpeg tiff gimpprint

# emerge unmerge gimp To be on the safe side!!!
# emerge -b gimp

BUT I'm still unable to open a jpg file (of the hundreds I used to work 
with!!) under the Gimp (unknown file)!

Please help

 Look at the output of emerge -pvV gimp. You'll notice that it uses the
 jpeg flag. So either perform

 USE=jpeg emerge gimp

 or add jpeg to your USE flags in /etc/make.conf and emerge Gimp again.

  Dear All,
 
  I compiled gimp 2.0.4 from the latest stage1 but it doesn't support jpeg

  Therefore I've just compiled the media-libs/jpeg library from stage1 but

  What else should I compile?

That seems to exlpain a lot... as I don't remember actually merging in
X.org manually. This is what is currently being shown by an emerge

Therefore, will I be running the lastest X.org (and in the process
have migrated off XFree86) if I go through with the emerge?

.. yes but be careful. I think you should not be doing it in X.
Also to be sure:

quickpkg  xorg-x11

So in case of trouble, you can recover back with

export PKGDIR=/usr/portage/packages
emerge -K xorg-x11

Bruno Lustosa wrote:
No, not experiencing this problem (for several reasons) but I seem to
recall hearing that dgs was removed from Portage not that long ago
(which would explain why it does not appear in your Portage tree).
In any case, you presumably emerged it sometime before that (possibly as
a dependency of something else), and X.org doesn't want it (possibly
because it's going to install its own version).
As you can see, I don't know what dgs is or does, but you should find
out if its something you need, because the way to solve the block is to
unmerge it, and then do the emerge -uD world again.
   

Yes, that's what I figured. I unmerged it, and now portage is
downloading/compiling the packages.
Well, don't even know why I'm doing this... my new computer is almost
finished, and once it's finished, I'll have to reinstall gentoo from
scratch again.
Thank you!
 

Is this new computer so different from the latter?  I have already 
copied hard disks among three computers (all Pentium 3) with success, 
(just a kernel re-compile for one of them).

I think that it would be successful even if it were a P4 (which I plan 
to do next month).  Just use the P3 compiled stuff and updates compiled 
to P4 will replace them in a few months.

Thanks to the cold / hotplug guys!!

Re: [gentoo-user] genkernel enhancements?

2005-01-08 Thread Francisco Ares

Try
genkernel --menuconfig --install [--bootsplash] all
after the make mrproper you'll be presented at tne menu configuration
tool for configuring your kernel, where you can select your processor,
hardware drivers, kernel behavior, security models, etc., etc., etc.,

If you don't feel confortable messing with this settings (or even if you
do), don't forget to rename your existing working kernel and include it
to your bootloader in case the new one fails to boot or to load some
important module.

I don't believe that genkernel will be able to supply that level of fine
tuning for a (long) while.

Hope this helps

Re: [gentoo-user] Equivalent of ~/.xinitrc while using a DM?

I would like a command run when I log in via GDM. It wouldn't be putting

Hi,
each display manager (GDM, KDM XDM) starts a script called Xsession and 
tels it which session you selected. Xsession is responsible for doing 
some initializations and firing up your session.
KDM uses /usr/kde/3.3/share/config/kdm/Xsession
GDM uses /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession
XDM uses /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession

the all differ in few things ;), but for some time now, KDM's and GDM's 
xsession sources the file ~/.xprofile, so you can put your commands 
there and they will be executed just before any session you choose in gdm.

XDM's and GDM's xsession does merge ~/.Xresource and also uses 
~/.Xmodmap, KDM's does not...

and so on ;)
maybe sometime they'll just start using one common Xsession script that 
would do thing in one coherent way ;)

or maybe gentoo should enforce all gdm configs to use one default...

[gentoo-user] Connection tracking table growing till lockup

2005-01-08 Thread Sebastian Dröge

Hi,

after changing my iptables rules I got a problem.
First of all the connection tracking table is growing until no more
network connections are allowed. this happens faster when mldonkey is
running. it seems that many connections are not closed correctly and
resist in the table for almost forever. I don't know what causes this,
any ideas? this is with gentoo-dev-source 2.6.10-r2

and then the next minor problem: I don't get nfs lockd through the
packet filter... I locked the port on 32764 (tcp and udp) and opened
this ports in the firewall but all packages arriving at that port are
silently dropped. all other nfs services work without problems

attached is the output from iptables -L

Bye

I'm using my own 6-7 year old AGP G400MAX at work, and it's perfect, driving a

They do come in PCI versions.
Their linux drivers rock too, are xfree/xorg modules, as apposed to kernel

[gentoo-user] Backup script issues

2005-01-08 Thread Michael Sullivan

I'm having issues with my backup scripts.  I wrote both backup scripts
back when I was using FC1 on my client PC.  One is a full backup of two
user accounts in /home and then /etc and the other creates a list of
files created/modified the date before the script is run and then only
backs those files up.  Full backup is on Sunday; every other day gets
iBackup.  They're listed in the crontab to run at 3am.  The trouble is
each morning when I'm reading my cron report for the backup it says that
there was a problem with tar in my script, but when I run the script
from the command line as root it works fine.  I scheduled the script in
root's (su -) crontab.  Here is the /home/michael/system/iBackup script:

#!/bin/sh

rm -r /home/amy/.Trash
rm -r /home/amy/.thumbnails
rm -r /home/michael/.Trash
rm -r /home/michael/.thumbnails

today=`date '+%m%d%y'`

# Backup all
echo Backing up both /home/amy and /home/michael 
   
# michael section

[gentoo-user] imlib2 mask

2005-01-08 Thread Joseph A. Nagy, Jr.

I just want to ask any Gentoo Devs on this list, do you guys think before
you mask something? Enough packages depend on imlib2 that you guys masking
it has created a problem:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# emerge -puDv world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy =media-libs/imlib2-1.2.0.20041226 have
been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- media-libs/imlib2- (masked by: -* keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
section 2.2 Software Availability in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!!(dependency required by x11-libs/esmart-0.9.0.20041226 [ebuild])


!!! Problem with ebuild x11-misc/entrance-0.9.0.20041226
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

I'll be unmasking it so I can go ahead and see what I have that needs
updating. Thanks for trying to break my system.

 You can use the stuff in your quotes after the -e as the lines in your
  .Xmodmap, is that what you were doing, or where you putting the whole
 command verbatim in the .Xmodmap file.

I was putting the commands in my .bashrc.  I've now moved the contents, 
without the xmodmap call, to a file called ~/.Xmodmap which I xmodmap from 
the kde Autostart directory right before I invoke tpb.  This isn't ideal, but 
it does prevent the deadlock.

 Although, tpb controls program execution for your super cool thinkpad
 function keys, and I don't know what your xmodmap mappings do.

..add support for the previous page/next page web-browsing keys located next 
to the arrow keys.  The other command, I believe, adds support for the 
4th/5th buttons on my mouse.

So, as it stands everything works, but the deadlock is reproducable.  Unless 
someone can convince me that this deadlock is expected, I'll grab the xmodmap 
code and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Thanks for your help,
Shaw

[gentoo-user] The only things keeping me using Windows

2005-01-08 Thread Jamie Dobbs

he only software keeping me using Windows is:
DreamWeaver   -   I just love its ease of use and power.
All the stuff from www.popcap.com as I love fun, quirky little games. 
Yes I guess I could play the flash versions of the games - is there any 
way these can be 'downloaded' so I don't have to be on the 'Net to play 
them? But I'd prefer Linux equivalents (I know, not much chance there!)

So if anyone can give me any pointers to software for Gentoo that will 
let me get rid of Windows and just use Linux then I'd appreciate it.

I should note that because of issues in the past I'm not keen on 
anything not in the stable branch of Gentoo. :-) (But I'm prepared to be 
told that I have nothing to worry about should I try again)

It looks like you have the files on a separate line.
Although that's probably just wrapping.

And I'd add -f to the rm commands to avoid the warnings.

Try using #!/bin/bash instead.

Oh, and try echoing the lines it runs before it does.

[gentoo-user] Palm/Visor + Gnome 2 + Evo 2 + gpilotd Problems...

2005-01-08 Thread David D. Rea

Hi All-

Just finished upgrading to Evolution 2, and I'm having a lot of trouble
syncing up my PalmOS device...

It all started just after running Evolution 2 for the first time, when I
tried to sync. It appeared to sync fine, went through the motions, but
did not actually update the contacts/to-do/calendar in Evo or on the
palm with new entries created on the opposite side.

So, I backed up the palm and tgz'd the ~/MyPilot and ~/.evolution
directories. I then tried a variety of different things to get things
syncing. The only thing that seemed to make a difference was going
to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/conduits and moving the non-2.0 conduits
to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/oldconduits

After this, it appeared to use the new 2.0 conduits, and attempt to sync
the data into Evo 2. But I ended up with duplicate records. D'oh!

Running pilot-dedupe got rid of some duplicates, but I still had at
least 2 copies of every entry in the contacts, calendar and to-do
databases. 

At this point, I opted to start over, so I attempted to restore from my
backups:

`rm ~/.evolution -fr`
`rm ~/MyPilot -fr`
Hard reset Palm
Untar ~/MyPilot backup
Untar ~/.evolution backup
Use pilot-xfer to restore pilot from ~/MyPilot/*

But now, when I try to sync up the palm, I get CORBA errors. Same errors
when I try to use gpilotd-control-applet to get/send the ID to the
pilot.

Figured next I'd try removing ~/.evolution once again and doing a
straight Copy-From-Pilot to restore my contacts and calendar, since
they're OK on the pilot after the pilot-xfer restore. But still can't
get the pilot to sync with gpilotd.

Tried unmerging and re-emerging evolution, gnome-pilot and
gnome-pilot-conduits. No change.

Am currently at wit's end... Has anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

Then checkfs tries to mount my raid devices (the ones that are currently 
mounted), cannot, chokes and then I can't get into the machine.  The 
raid doesn't need to be rebuilt, it needs to be recognized by the boot 
scripts.  What has changed in boot scripts in the last four months?  The 
last time I rebooted was at the beginning of September and that booted 
fine, I've since done emerge --sync; emerge -uD world on the system, 
maybe thats it?

Re: [gentoo-user] genkernel enhancements?

2005-01-08 Thread Alexander Kirillov

Other disturbing thing is persistive usage of /devfs which
is marked OBSOLETE in 2.6 kenels. Using --udev does not help at all thou 
udevd is loaded but if I put a RC_DEVICES=udev in /etc/conf.d/rc on boot 
system states that i miss something for udev support... (I've emerged 
coldplug and hotplug)
Have you emerged udev?
Switching to udev is described in some detail in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
I would only suggest to leave devfs support compiled into the kernel
and disable it later on via kernel parameters.
I didn't and ended up with a kernel which couldn't mount my root:)

I know these errors from compiling some packages with nvidia driver 
installed, which offers own libraries and include files.

Switch to the xorg opengl interface with:
	opengl-update xorg-x11
Then compiling should work good, when it is finished, you can just call
	opengl-update nvidia
to activate the nvidia interface. If you don't have a nvidia board, 
please tell me your card and which kind of driver you have installed.

Re: [gentoo-user] Palm/Visor + Gnome 2 + Evo 2 + gpilotd Problems...

2005-01-08 Thread Heinz Sporn

I do have a similar issue here. My Tungsten E synchronizes perfectly 
with jPilot. With Evolution only contacts are somewhat working. Memos / 
calender are simply ignored. Not even an initial forced copy from Palm 
to Evolution works - no warnings no errors.

So at least I guess we are not alone ;-)
David D. Rea schrieb:
Hi All-
Just finished upgrading to Evolution 2, and I'm having a lot of trouble
syncing up my PalmOS device...
It all started just after running Evolution 2 for the first time, when I
tried to sync. It appeared to sync fine, went through the motions, but
did not actually update the contacts/to-do/calendar in Evo or on the
palm with new entries created on the opposite side.
So, I backed up the palm and tgz'd the ~/MyPilot and ~/.evolution
directories. I then tried a variety of different things to get things
syncing. The only thing that seemed to make a difference was going
to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/conduits and moving the non-2.0 conduits
to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/oldconduits
After this, it appeared to use the new 2.0 conduits, and attempt to sync
the data into Evo 2. But I ended up with duplicate records. D'oh!
Running pilot-dedupe got rid of some duplicates, but I still had at
least 2 copies of every entry in the contacts, calendar and to-do
databases. 

At this point, I opted to start over, so I attempted to restore from my
backups:
`rm ~/.evolution -fr`
`rm ~/MyPilot -fr`
Hard reset Palm
Untar ~/MyPilot backup
Untar ~/.evolution backup
Use pilot-xfer to restore pilot from ~/MyPilot/*
But now, when I try to sync up the palm, I get CORBA errors. Same errors
when I try to use gpilotd-control-applet to get/send the ID to the
pilot.
Figured next I'd try removing ~/.evolution once again and doing a
straight Copy-From-Pilot to restore my contacts and calendar, since
they're OK on the pilot after the pilot-xfer restore. But still can't
get the pilot to sync with gpilotd.
Tried unmerging and re-emerging evolution, gnome-pilot and
gnome-pilot-conduits. No change.
Am currently at wit's end... Has anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

OK, let's try an experiment to see if we're really on the same page. Run
`gpilotd-control-applet` from a terminal window, and see what the output
looks like when you try to set up a new Pilot and click Get ID from
Pilot or whatever the button says...

If you see the following on the terminal output, we are indeed in the

Since /dev/hdd is not accessible for cdrom group ordinary users can`t write to

Umm Looking at that output, I'd say it's plent accessible.
the owner (root) and the group (cdrom) both have read and write
permissions, so I don't see any problem. If you want to access the cdrom
just add yourself to the cdrom group.

Sad to say, it's about a week later and I've still

surprize, actually.There's a lot of first

guys, I've really achieved something. 

I've made a fresh, stage one install on a machine 
I intend to use as a webserver. I've done a lot of successful Gentoo installations so it's not as though I'm an amateur. The 
install went on without a hitch but, booting up, I reach the end of the init 
sequenceand there's a delay of 22 seconds before "Starting local ..." 
transitions in to the usual"This is .." and the login prompt. On my three 
workstations this transition take no time at all, it's virtually instantaneous. 
I have nothing in /etc/conf.d/start.local and my USE= is limited to -kde. pam is 
installed. I have no idea what in heaven's name 
would cause a delay of this kind. Is an answer to this problem really so 
obscure? God knows, maybe it is.

I'm pretty far down the Linux food chain, even farther so in the Gentoo
community, but this occurred to me... Is there some way you can crank up
the debug output level on the kernel itself??

Usually whenever I have a problem whose source isn't immediately
apparent, the first thing I try to do is scour the logs for anything
off-color that occurs around the questionable point. If I don't see
anything, my next knee-jerk reaction is to crank up the debug level so
that there's a better chance of me catching something!

Why would that be the case? The way you described etc-update, to me it

Admitedly there are minor differences, but both of it does the same job
and it's roughly the same process.

 On rare occasions, there's something I want from 
 both blocks and getting the new settings means removing a line from the 
 old that I think I want. This doesn't happen often, and when it does is 
 limited to one line, or a few easily recognizable lines, that I then 
 edit manually after finishing the operation on the file. That really 

In dispatch-conf, there's an option to interactively merge the
difference between both files and choose which gets merged into the
final file. It also splits into 2 sides via a vertical line and you
choose left or right.

[gentoo-user] Monster emerge -- an odd thing or two

2005-01-08 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

Having carefully backed up my whole root partition, I just embarked on
the huge emerge that had built up in just the few days around the
new years.  I was worried about Xorg, of course -- it was going to be
a major pain if that didn't work.  In the event, everything seems fine, but
there were some oddities, in my opinion.  It also seemed to replace
much of KDE and a bunch of other things too.  38 steps.

The oddities:

For one thing, emerge first emerged xorg 6.8.0-r3, then downgraded it
to xorg 6.7.0-r3, all in the same batch.  Anyone know why it does this?
I'm running on 6.70 right now, with no noticeable difference from the
earlier XFree, so I'm not complaining.  It just seems weird.  Also very
time-consuming.

For another, when it was done, and quite aside from the automatic
trivial config merges, there were 291 config file changes that etc-update
wanted me to scrutinize.  I don't have the attention span for that, so
I looked at the 9 that I most nearly know what they do.  The rest I just
told it to automerge, and I'm hoping for the best.  Is it really necessary
to have 300 config files changed in a given update?  There just seems
to be something unfriendly about that.

[gentoo-user] Getting the most out of ATI Rage XL video

2005-01-08 Thread Kevin O'Gorman

I'm semi-stuck with ATI Rage XL video on this machine (It's built into
the motherboard) and I've been more or less ignoring it because
I had other things to do.  But I've been noticing all the traffic about
ATI drivers, 2D and 3D and so on -- all without much understanding
because I've never had to learn much about video.

However, the video speed could be a bit better, even for what I'm
doing.  Can anybody tell me if I should be looking for something besides
the stock Gentoo drivers?

The motherboard is a Super Micro P4DPE (dual Xeon, 3v PCI slots)

Keith,

Thanks for the reply!

I see that I managed above to report the contents (or the lack thereof)  in
/etc/conf.d/local.start as /etc/conf.d/start.local. Sorry about that little
reporting error. In truth, there are no entries in my
/etc/conf.d/local.start, just the standard, commented-out boilerplate which
leaves me without ideas of anykind as to a solution. There's literally
nothing blocking the way to the login that I'm aware of. Talk about
flummoxed.

Daniel,

Thank you for writing.

No, /etc/conf.d/local.start has no entries, just the commented-out
boilerplate. Any other thoughts.

 Usually whenever I have a problem whose source isn't immediately
 apparent, the first thing I try to do is scour the logs for anything
 off-color that occurs around the questionable point. If I don't see
 anything, my next knee-jerk reaction is to crank up the debug level so
 that there's a better chance of me catching something!

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

   Anything in dmesg?  I know one way to get past it ( without solving 
the bug, which is the real issue here ) is to just remove the local 
script from running, since it's empty.  It doesn't have to be run.  
However, also check /var/log/message and anywhere else you might have 
some juicy logs.

Errh, why shouldn't it? Once you have setup a working cross compilation 
environment (i.e. compiling on x86 for m68k), you will be able to do 
something like

CC=distcc m68k-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc make
   


I'm sorry, but how does one actually go about setting up a cross
compilation environment?
Does the GCC needs to be the same only? Regardless of arch?  Unless I
build it generic meaning, something like mcpu=pentium
 

   Try emerge crossdev.  Maintained by Sir Kumba, IIRC.  Works pretty 
well for most arches.

Perhaps a few steps for sanity:
1.  Remove, as Alec suggests, local from init.d.  Test this.
2.  I assume your /etc/init.d/local dependencies are set to after *.
3.  Check your /etc/inittab for anything suspicious.  Refer to dmesg (as 
Alex suggests ;) ).

It is possible that there is a strange problem with the DM scripts, the 
getty you are using, or possibly PAM.  None of those seem likely though.

 renaming it for 2.2.6 works fine.
