It will be nice to have those KDE meta ebuilds, but I think that both should 
coexist. On a normal workstation, I usually want all of KDE installed and 
using the meta ebuilds would be big overhead. OTOH, I agree that there are 
many situations where only a small subste of KDE's applications is needed 
so please keep both.

Thanks, it came through. I read the script; it looks handy. How often does the 
snapshot get updated on most of the mirrors?

[Chris Frey]

If you are worried about getting a valid portage tree, you can always
use the emerge-webrsync command, and verify with the GPG signature.

I don't know if the latest portage supports it, but I use an old modified
script to perform the grunt work.  I've attached it in case you're interested,
if it doesn't come through on the list, let me know and I can send directly.

Re: [gentoo-user] WiFi success story :|

[Frank Schafer]

Hi,

the original poster (me ;), got the card (ipw2200) working, would very
like to use the gentoo methods, but wasn't able to get wpa_supplicant
(masked) to work.
He tried to ebuild wpa_supplicant and the (needless) madwifi was
downloaded and installed too amd the build failed.
The (gentoo installed) hotplug didn't load the firmware. That's why I
unmerged this too and installed it by hand. It's working now.

Maybe the firmware problem is caused by the fact that gentoo by some
reason /usr/lib/hotplug moved to /lib/hotplug.

Well, /usr could be a filesystem which still isn't mounted when the
firmware is needed but I don't have an idea in which cases this could
happen.

Regards
Frank

[gentoo-user] kde meta ebuild

[Martoni]

On the site (http://kde-metaebuilds.berlios.de/) it states that:
"However, it is being merged slowly into portage and should be the
main/only set of official kde ebuilds for 3.4.0."

But checking on the unstable new ebuilds, KDE 3.4.0_beta1 is being
distributed through the usual monolithic KDE packages.
Anyone with info on the status of the meta ebuilds?

And usually is not necessary - the default @INC for the new perl 
contains also the directories of the older versions. Also, I removed 
some of the 'env-update' commands in it, and it made the process 
substentially faster (apparently without breaking anything)

Hi Nick,

take a look at the output of
lspci | grep -i audio
and read www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml

AC97 is just the codec your soundcard uses. I have four computers at home,
every one with different soundchips - but all use AC97.

I tried launching firefox in root, everything was fine. so I
thought it might be the config files which were causing the
freezing. then I removed the whole .mozilla folder in my

Hi,
First and easiest - check the Changelog (-l option of emerge, may be there is 
some reason for downgrade - security,bug etc.)
Could use 'emerge -uDptv' add "-t" to see the whole dependencies tree, if some 
package want another (lower) version

[gentoo-user] AC97 Onboard Audio Driver?

[Nicholas Pappas]

Hello all.
	I just removed my PCI sound card, deciding to give my onboard sound 
card a try.  I look through the kernel setup though and can't seem to 
find anything mentioning AC97 (which is what the bios indicates the 
chipset is).
	What can I use in the kernel to use this onboard card?

Thanks all!

I highly recommend RIT, based on our co-op program alone.  Most Computer
Science/Software Engineering/Computer Enigeering programs are all 5-year
majors, requiring a full year of co-op (highly paid internship *anywhere*).
Recruiters for are constantly on campus interviewing people (CIA (whom
are extremely close with RIT), NSA, Microsoft, etc).  Getting the work
experience while you are in college _seriously_ helps you in the long
run.

Aside from our co-op program, we have great security concentrations, and we
were the first college to offer a software engineering degree in the
country.

Also, I know at least one Gentoo dev has gotten his Masters from RIT
(seemant) ;)

   The website that had the drivers for my quickcam messenger has
gone offline. I am stuck now with a camera i know works in linux but
has no drivers. You can imagine my pain as I type this and it just
sits on my monitor mocking me daily. If someone has the drivers from
this guy/gals website, it would be much appreciated if you could send
them to me. I will promptly mirror them on a sf.net or something so
this doesnt happen againthank you much

That's a pretty good idea for certain packages (I might do it for the gimp if 
it still has similar problems) but in this case, I want to emerge mjpegtools 
as a dependency for the encode USE flag in k3b, and I don't want dependencies 
in my world file. I know it's a bit obsessive but this is a brand new 
installation and my world file is short and sweet. Depclean works very well 
this way, and I don't want to lose that. I may overlay mjpegtools and futz 
with the ebuild until I can get it to add/remove the proper arguments, or 
just emerge --oneshot --nodeps mjpegtools after changing the gcc profile, and 
then change it back, and hope nothing breaks. :) But I don't want to get into 
compiling and installing things outside of portage if I can at all help it. 
If I didn't care about package management, I'd run slackware or LFS :)

G'day there Gentoo People,

it's now reached kdelibs-3.3.2-r1 and I get this error:

Unless you want  to sync ToDo categories, in  which case  you're outta
luck.  Evolution  does  NOT recognize  Palm  ToDo categories,  and the
developers don't seem to care.

J-Pilot  is very very nice,  currently the closest  thing  to the Palm
Desktop.  It  has  exactly and only   the features of  the Palm Pilot.
Evo/Korganizer have features in   the desktop that don't  translate to
the Pilot,  and they miss some features  of the Pilot.  J-Pilot has no
extras and loses no data from the Pilot.  Check it out.

Mutt - it's not only for X-less use, either.  I've used it as my primary

For something to include in a baseline backup, I would probably use
mailx - it's old (stable), simple, standard, and has no complex
dependencies like ncurses. It should merge in less than a minute on a
modern machine. If you're looking for something a little more elaborate,
pine is user-friendly, and mutt has a better license and is more
power-user biased/friendly.

Searching for the error message is usually the best idea. Not only does it
pick up the same error with another package but it avoids any irrelevant
messages relating to the same package.

[gentoo-user] various browsers crash in xorg 6.7.0, ok in 6.8.x

[Iain Buchanan]

All the gui browsers I have (mozilla, firefox, epiphany) crash
consistantly on almost all web pages.  There are certain pages they
don't crash on, but not many.  I've tried disabling images, javascript,
etc but to no avail.

When I compiled xorg-x11-6.8.1.901, they worked fine!  I can't use 6.8
though, because I need the ati-drivers.

I've submitted a bug here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77461
but as yet there has been no response.

This is a really weird one.  I'd appreciate any help, as my wild stab at
compiling various libraries hasn't helped.

TIA,

I think you are on the wrong track. the cx8800 appears to be the driver
for the Conexant 2388x chipset. the Conexant 2388x *chipset* is the
successor to the BT878 *chipset*, but you still need BT848 driver if you
have a bt848/bt878 chipset.

and make xconfig gives no more info than make menuconfig, just presented
differently (hint, the "help" button in menuconfig is what you are
looking for)

Mpg123 was probably missing from your world file. The reason for this
may be that you used --oneshot while installing it or that it was
installed as a dependency for som program that you have later

It should do.  I've been using `genkernel ... --gensplash=emergence` for

Re: [gentoo-user] fix_libtool_files.sh question...

[William Kenworthy]

What happens on an older system that started with 2.95 (I have one of
those!) and upgraded as each new gcc came along.  Does this mean I am
likely to have (I know I have because every now and again something
breaks) a mixture of gcc paths embedded?  This tool is looking more like
a kludge that doesnt work properly so they devolved it to running
manually, but forgot to let the userbase know or document it.

And portage still wants to downgrade to 0.8.5
Why does it want to downgrade , especially since it did not complain

The most likely reason for this is that something that would not itself 
be upgraded by a emerge --deep world, but which depends on gst-plugins, 
is not compatible with 0.8.7, because it demands 0.8.5-r1. I would do an 
emerge -uDtv world to see what is calling for the downgrade, and either 
upgrade the referring program alone if an upgrade exists (you may need 
to unmask that as well; maybe it's gstreamer 0.8.8, or something), 
remove the referring program if unnecessary, or take the downgrade if 
neither.

Hi!

I fixed this problem with a nifty little script called
'fix_libtool_files.sh'. Doing 'fix_libtool_files.sh 3.3.4' fixed the
problem with both gtk+ and k3b searching for a non-existant libstdc++ in
the unmerged gcc-3.3.4 directory... I'm not sure if this is the correct
way to do it and I'm, unfortunately, not good at awk-scripting, but it
seems to traverse relevant files and correcting the path to gcc3.3.5.
Found this in bugs.gentoo.org (don't remember which one).

Best regards

Sounds like (not sure) that it was compiled to use the Athena widget
set.  Not sure what it would take to have that happen; Xaw3d and -gtk
in your make.conf?  You might want to try something like ldd `which
xchat` and try to determine what widget set(s) it's linked against.

Sounds like you need to pick a new theme. I believe that X-Chat uses
GTK2, I've no idea what your VNC client uses. Install something
capable of changing GTK2 themes and try that.
http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?gtk-chtheme-0.3.1 for example.
   

You also might consider installing gtk-qt-engine if you would like to make
your gtk apps use the KDE style. Also consider emerging gnome-themes and
gnome-theme-extras if you want to have lots of choice.
 

After I install gtk-qt-engine or gtk-chtheme. Do you think I should
unmerge and then merge back the products I want to improve?
   

I suppose it couldn't hurt, though I don't think that gtk-qt-engine will help 
you. It looks like whatever widget library that program is using is very 
simple, not gtk and not qt. Not even twm, the default for X. Are you sure 
that kwin is your window manager? And what version of KDE are you using?  
Does x-chat really look like the screenshot you posted?
 

I got KDE 3.3.0 (should upgrade though) and it is running through 
kdeinit. As for xchat. I think the earlier installations looked like 
what you saw but I just noticed it is fully controlled using gtk-chtheme 
(now that I installed it). However vnc is still "primitive".

Not any more, I just did the same with 2.6.19-gentoo-r4 and BT848 For Linux

And guess what the Conexant 2388x module will be called?

It's called cx8800. Now why I didn't think of that I'll never know :)

Seriously I didn't know about xconfig, only menu config and that doesn't 
give the same info as xconfig. At least I now know what module to load.

Well, you could always insert the stub into the world file and manually
build and install the package:

1. ebuild /usr/portage/category/app/app-version.ebuild unpack.
2. cd /var/tmp/portage/category/app/work/app-version
3. do the ./configure etc. and choose your own gcc version and/or
CFLAGS/LDFLAGS.
4. make && make install

Assuming you can come up with the specific combination of compiler and/or
flags that you think will resolve the problem, you can get it compiled and
installed this way.

emerge -av =gtk-theme-switch-1.0.1-r1

told me that it needs xemacs. Pretty weird.
Thx,
Zsoltik@
Weird. Is xemacs in your USE or something like that?

Of course there exists such a beast. A good example would be the new Enlightment 
(sp?) window manager, which has some crazy dependencies. Also gnome, not kde 
because that is pretty simple package-wise.

BTW, if you have an:
emerge sys-apps/foo
That requires sys-libs/bar of version larger than or equal to 2.0.2, then you 
should not package.keywords ">=sys-libs/bar-2.0.2" and do an:
	emerge sys-libs/bar

You should add that line to package.keywords and do:
emerge sys-apps/foo
So that the library would be added as a dependency, not into world, and "emerge 
depclean" would be able to get rid of it properly.

I'm pretty sure you did not mean this, but it could be implied from your mail, 
so I thought I would clarify.

And also, BTW, this ACX100 WiFi card works perfectly, with initscripts from the 
masked baselayout that configure it at boot.

It seems that the original poster's problem was that he was trying to avoid 
using Gentoo's methods of making the card work, instead working around it and 
installing by hand (Which also works, but its harder...).

[gentoo-user] `emerge --update --deep world` missing upgrades?

[Jesse Guardiani]

Hello,

I just discovered the oh-so-cool `glsa-check` tool. When
I ran it, I noticed that some of my packages were listed
as [N], meaning that they are possibly vulnerable. Most
notably in this case is mpg123. I had 0.59s-r2 installed,
but the GLSA recommended 0.59s-r8, and MUCH to my surprise,
0.59s-r8 was already in my portage tree!

However, `emerge --update --deep world` only showed these
as upgradeable packages:

[20:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[/etc]# emerge --update --deep --pretend world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] net-dialup/pptpclient-1.5.0-r1 [1.3.1]
[ebuild U ] app-admin/bacula-1.36.0 [1.34.6]

Here's my current portage:

*  sys-apps/portage
  Latest version available: 2.0.51-r3
  Latest version installed: 2.0.51-r3
  Size of downloaded files: 274 kB
  Homepage:http://www.gentoo.org/
  Description: The Portage Package Management System (Similar to BSD's 
ports). The primary package management and distribution system for Gentoo.
  License: GPL-2

glsa-check also complains about these packages:
kaffeine gxine kdelibs kdebase

kaffeine doesn't exist on my system, the available gxine
upgrade is masked, and kdelibs and kdebase are up-to-date.

I immediately performed an `emerge mpg123`, and now I'm
running -r8 and glsa-check no longer complains about mpg123.
But what gives? Why didn't `emerge --update` do it's job?

I suppose it couldn't hurt, though I don't think that gtk-qt-engine will help 
you. It looks like whatever widget library that program is using is very 
simple, not gtk and not qt. Not even twm, the default for X. Are you sure 
that kwin is your window manager? And what version of KDE are you using?  
Does x-chat really look like the screenshot you posted?

Re: [gentoo-user] Strange portage update suggestion

[Abraham Marin Perez]

It's strange indeed... maybe portage doesn't read /etc/portage files
when updating although it does when installing... What does it say if
you just type "emerge -p gst-plugins"? Remerging the same package or
downgrading?

Sounds like you need to pick a new theme. I believe that X-Chat uses
GTK2, I've no idea what your VNC client uses. Install something
capable of changing GTK2 themes and try that.
http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?gtk-chtheme-0.3.1 for example.
   

You also might consider installing gtk-qt-engine if you would like to make 
your gtk apps use the KDE style. Also consider emerging gnome-themes and 
gnome-theme-extras if you want to have lots of choice.

 

After I install gtk-qt-engine or gtk-chtheme. Do you think I should

Try changing the ebuild to do -fno-pie? Most gcc options have an explicit 
inverse.

You might also disable any mmx{,2} sse{,2} USE flags for that package to 
avoid trying to compile the asm blocks?

Re: [gentoo-user] xterm style scrolbars. Can it be improved.

[David Harel]

I think it has to do with the best you can get at the moment you install.
If I understand correctly, the configure script that prepares the 
compilation checks for a set of libraries the product can use with some 
kind of priority so would you have KDE it would probably use that, but 
if, from what that product can use, you got nothing but low level X11 
than that is what you will have.
Enriching the styles improves the odds that a product will find an 
advanced GUI.

I use Fluxbox and have noticed this as well; it's really brainfucked.
Now why do you folks think a new theme would change the _behavior_ of
the scroll bar?

You probably need to emerge a window manager. I recommend fluxbox, if
you don't want a large desktop environment like GNOME or KDE.

The scrollbar is "2D" and you have to use left click for "Down" and

Even in this state you may be able to see the router. Try 

iwlist eth1 scanning

and see if the router shows up. What you probably need to do is follow
the instructions about configuration at the bottom of this page, just
above the box, but the main part I'm copying here:

If scan shows the node that you want to connect to, then you need to
associate with it. First, set the essid of the node with iwconfig
wlan0 essid ESSID, where ESSID is the essid of the node. Note that you
shouldn't give quotes around ESSID. If any encryption is not being
used, this should associate. If WEP (encryption) is being used, first
set the encryption key and encryption mode with iwconfig wlan0 key
restricted 123456789A where encryption mode is restricted and key is
123456789A. If the encryption setting is correct, the card should now
be associated with the node. Check output of iwconfig wlan0 to see
that it is indeed associated (ESSID should be the ESSID you set
earlier and Access Point should be like the ethernet address of the
card: hexadecimal integers, and not all of them should be 00).

I've managed to get two machines up on my network but I have to do
some strange things to do it. More on that later  if you're in need of
more ideas.

I'm having the same problem, it is currently discussed at gentoo-user-de
(or . It seems
that somehow the use flag "acl" which has been formerly set now is
disabled. But I don't know why?

So an "emerge -puvD --newuse world" wants to re-emerge coreutils, samba
and rsync because of "-acl*", and "emerge --depclean" wants to uninstall
"acl" and "attr".

[gentoo-user] Strange portage update suggestion

[Ivan Yosifov]

Hello Everyone,

localhost ~ # emerge --pretend --update --deep world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild UD] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.5-r1 [0.8.7]

As you see I have gst-plugins-0.8.7 installed , which is ~x86:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ grep
KEY /usr/portage/media-libs/gst-plugins/gst-plugins-0.8.7.ebuild
KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc ~sparc ~alpha ~hppa ~amd64 ~ia64 ~mips ~arm ~ppc64"

However I have also unmasked it:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ grep gst-plugins /etc/portage/package.keywords
media-libs/gst-plugins ~x86

And portage still wants to downgrade to 0.8.5
Why does it want to downgrade , especially since it did not complain
during the upgrade (from 0.8.5 to 0.8.7) ?

But they say ...

(in the 2.6.x kernel this is in Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices ->

But it isn't, it's called 2388x which is supposed to have replaced bt848 but

I'm trying to work around this http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43944

The other thing that's worked for me in the past in similar situations is to 
change the ebuild to strip the offending -pie flags, but that doesn't look 
like it will help in this case.

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: sys-apps/acl + attr to world file or not?

[Dave Nebinger]

Well, possibly you could unmerge them by completing the following steps:

1. copy the library files for the packages to a temporary location.
2. unmerge the packages.
3. copy the library files back to their original location (may need to do
this from the livecd if the failures are as catastrophic as the other guy
mentioned).
4. emerge coreutils (possibly with the use flags defined to explicitly not
use acl/attr) to get a coreutils that does not have the dependencies.
5. remove the library files.
6. pray for no major catastrophes.  ;-)

NOTE: I have no idea if this would really work, I'm just brainstorming.

ok, first, sorry for the generalization. so, moving to a smaller subset ;-): at
least on my sytem these packages seem to be needed: 

 portage # qpkg -nc -q sys-apps/acl
sys-apps/acl-2.2.27 *

coreutils-5.2.1-r2

similar for attr. 

hmm, being quite sure that I haven't changed use flags after the emerge (the

Nope.  Would be difficult to implement as different folks would have
different gcc version(s) installed; how would the package know which one to
use?

You can manually do this by calling gcc-config with the version to use
*before* the emerge and restore it *after* the emerge (as it sets the
system-wide default).  This, too, would get to be rather sticky;
dependencies may or may not get compiled against the gcc version you
specified, and I can't begin to speculate what those problems would cause
(aside from general system instability).

Perhaps, however, you're trying to come up with the wrong solution to a

I'm running -acl and without attributes enabled on my filesystems, so I 
don't even have these packages installed.  Removing them won't

Okay.  If you are mentioning NWACC as one of the premire CSci programs, I 
know you must be joking or being purposely misleading.

The OP is clearly not a ntive english speaker, so you should have certainly 
included many smilies to make sure they weren't mislead.

www.uark.edu (the U I graduated from) has a better program than NWACC and I 
wouldn't recommend it as one of the better colleges, although it is 
*getting* better.

If you want a good look at universities, you should possibly try um, I 
think it is "Weekly News & World Report", I believe they publish 
university rankings that are fairly widely accepted as somewhat accurate.

In any case, since you have a narrow-ish field of interest, you should do 
your own research.  If you've read any acedemic papers or articles that 
interested you, figure out where the professors that wrote those documents 
teach / research.  If you can find a list of "top" CSci / CompEng 
univeristies, check their faculty pages to see if anyone is teaching any 
classes / doing research that piques your interest.  Even if they don't 
list the papers/articles they've writen themselves, you should be able to 
find a list.  Acedemic papers are rarely written in a vaccuum (It's 
frowned upon), so they will probably have other author's whose 
universities you can look up and/or references that can provide both good 
reading material and more professors to investigate.

If you have nowhere else to start, start at csce.uark.edu, the CSCE dept. 
of my alma mater.  Dr. Soraby has done interesting things with mesh 
networks.  Dr. Apon and Dr. Deaton have dome some cool grid computing 
stuff.  George Holmes is a verifiable OSS advocate.  Dr. Li is expert at 
algorithms and does work on parallelization of them / parallelizable 
variants.  I'm not sure who our resident security expert is (Looks like 
Dr. D. Thompson?), but I have talked to student that have done security 
research at the university.

If you come here, be sure to look me up. :)

this is my tcp.smtp-file:

and this is the result of tcprulescheck:
workon ~ #  tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.qmail.cdb 127.0.0.1
rule :
deny connection

to show you that it is up2date, i did a strings over it:
workon ~ # strings /etc/tcp.qmail.cdb
127.0.0.1+RELAYCLIENT=
+RBLSMTPD=
127.+RELAYCLIENT=

127+RELAYCLIENT=
+RBLSMTPD=
10.+RELAYCLIENT=
+RBLSMTPD=
192.168..+RELAYCLIENT=
+RBLSMTPD=

I dont understand the problem, because strace seems fine to me.
I appeared after emerge -uD world, but a remerge of ucspi-tcp didn't
help. i tried to go back a few kernel versions, no success...

Can anybody help me with that problem ? (I worked around with "export
RELAYCLIENT=" in /service/run.. but thats bad configuration :)

Thank you in advance

Re: [gentoo-user] aterm-0.4.2-r11 transparency bug?

Just upgraded to aterm-0.4.2-r11 in portage [NOT MASKED] and experiencing

Apparently someone knew: at the end of the emerge this message was shown:
* Hint: you can copy text from aterm to the clipboard by holding the ALT key
* while highlighting the text.
* The transparent background will only work if you have the 'real' root 
wallpaper

* experiencing problems with transparency in aterm.

The point is that I use fluxbox, and my wallpaper IS set with fbsetbg...
Anyone else is experiencing the same problem?
How can I downgrade to previous aterm version with gentoo?
Any help appreciated :)

[gentoo-user] sys-apps/acl + attr to world file or not?

[heide]

Hi all, 

today emerge -uvDa --newuse world updated coreutils and later an emerge -p
depclean said:
 These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 sys-apps/acl
selected: 2.2.27
   protected: none
 omitted: none

 sys-apps/attr
selected: 2.4.19
   protected: none
 omitted: none

As Jason Stubbs has kindly educated us some time ago on this list, unmerging
them will break the system (iirc). 

So, should I add those packages to my world file or rather not, since (if I
understood it correctly) they are "only" deps (and deps can, in principle, later
change)?

Thank you all, heide

RE: [gentoo-user] System crash when switching off an usb2 dvd writer, help !

[Dave Nebinger]

What is the state of the drive when you powerdown/unplug?  Is there
currently a disk mounted on the drive?  Do you have hotplug/coldplug
installed and set up correctly?
