What do you mean you can't print it?
Is there no print option / greyed out?
Does it not spool to your printer / cups?
Is the output corrupted?

I was able to print my document but, the colored areas where very washed 
out.  The designer had used a bright red whose corresponding greyscale was 
far too light.

[gentoo-user] KDE 3.4 Beta 2

[Jason Edson]

Hi, I'm kind of new to gentoo, well using advanced portage features, and 
I was just wondering how i get emerge kde to install 3.4 beta 2 instead 
of 3.3.2. And if I can get it to work can I have both 3.3.2 and 3.4 beta 
2 installed? Thank you for your time!

dietlibc is much much smaller than uclibc BUT that is because it is very
stripped down compared to uclibc. Its great for making tiny statically

Some ideas to look at:

* Designate one server as a central portage repository - set up a cron job
  to sync Portage and build binary packages for any updates nightly.

* Have your workstations rsync during the night with this "local" Portage
  repository instead of with a Gentoo mirror - its faster and only need
  to make sure the "master" server finishes its sync first.

* If your machines are all the same, you can build binary packages on one
  and export them (rsync or nfs) to all the rest.

* If you're feeling brave, you could have all the machines install new
  binary packages automatically (in my setup, I only check for updates to
  "system"; after building binaries the server sends me an email with a
  list of new binary packages ready to install manually).

I do this for a small group of servers but Im sure if I had a lot more,
the manual install would become too labor-intensive - I would probably
script the installs if I ever get to that point.

Would be nice to have some sort of master tool that did this across a
cluster of workstations so you could roll-out updates after testing on one
machine. Is there a GLEP for this "enterprise" tool??

emerge -pt amarok

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N] media-sound/amarok-1.0.2  
[ebuild  N]  kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.3.2

[ebuild  N]   media-libs/tunepimp-0.3.0  
[ebuild  N]media-libs/musicbrainz-2.1.1  


So.. it depends on kdemultimedia+ a whole lot of KDE stuffs. Crap. Hence
I don't think I'll emerge it.

This is what's output of emerge -p amarok

media-libs/musicbrainz-2.1.1
media-libs/tunepimp-0.3.0
kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r2
kde-base/kdebase-3.3.2-r1

media-sound/amarok-1.0.2

I don't see the dependence of amarok on a newer version of KDE. I
already have 
kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r2 [3.3.1-r2]
kde-base/kdebase-3.3.2-r1

and I don't see dependence of kdebase on kdelibs.

Can it be done? I don't feel inclined to DL over 30Mb of KDE libs to get
Amarok (just to try it out!)

I was able to open and print a pdf 6.0 document in both kpdf and xpdf, both 
showed items that were not shown in arcoread 5.0.

Printing did not look as good as it should have, because it was a color 
document printed on a monocrome printer.

I like eix a bit better than esearch.  However it doesn't include some 
esync command.  So, I emerged them both, and hacked the python behind 
esync to also perform a 'eix -u' after the eupdatedb.

Nope.  If you emerge foo-bar/baz and that pulls in foo-bat/gonzo as a 
dependency, foo-bat/gonzo is not placed in your world file.  Similarly, 
dependencies of foo-bat/gonzo are pulled in but not added to world.

If you want emerge  to not add the package to world, you should 
use --oneshot (-1).  If you want to add a package to world that is 
installed, you can simply place it in there youself.  If you want to add a 
package to world that is not installed or you don't want to mess with the 
world file manually, just emerge .

BTW, there's no need for quotes around the phrase 'world file'.  Portage 
literally maintains a file, named world, in /var/lib/portage that directs 
the behavior of emerge world.

[In fact, there's a nice GLEP that will, if implemented, allow (somewhat) 
arbitary files structed like world in /var/lib/portage/sets to direct 
portage similarly.]

While what you attempted worked in this particular case, you are

No, as I said before, if you do emerge --newuse world it will only 
(initially) scan world for packages that have new use flags, if none exist 
then no package will be recompiled, even if a dependency has had it's use 
flags change.  [When a package is slated for recompile, emerge does, then 
check it's dependencies.]

This is the same with -u (or a combination of the two).  Only packages in 
your world file will be checked for an up/downgrade, as well a dependecies 
of any package that does need to be remerged.  If a dependcy has been 
updated, but not it's dependent in world, it will not be recompiled.

--deep (-D) changes this behavior so that all dependencies are scanned for 
possible remerge, even if the package it depends on is up-to-date w.r.t. 
the -u and --newuse options passed on the command-line.

[Can a dev (Ciran?) back me up on this or am I just talking out of my 
arse?]

> P.S. I have small wuestion:

Read my text above and you should understand the problem.

What is hapening is that kdenetwork is not in your world file AND the item 
in your world file that depends on it does not have a wifi option but does 
have an ldap option.

When you specify just wifi, emerge never checks the kdenetwork package for 
new use flags because what it depends on doesn't need to be remerged.

When you specific both ldap and wifi, emerge notices that the dependent 
needs to be recompiled because of the changed ldap flag, then it scans 
it's dependencies and notices that kdenetwork needs to be remerged due to 
the changes wifi flag.

Also, hopefully you are using 'USE="blah" emerge ' syntax just as an 
example; you really shouldn't be using that if you want to keep your use 
flags maintainable.

[1] But only if that package is in the world file or a there is a direct

a use-flag change, you really want to 'emerge -D --newuse world'.

The main difference between eix and esearch is that eix builds the
database MUCH faster. eix -u is about six times faster than eupdate.

Searching in eix is reported to be slightly slower, but it's still faster
than you can read :)

You could also add buildpkg to FEATURES in make.conf. this causes portage
to create a binary package every time you install or upgrade something. If
the next time you upgrade it, something breaks, you can roll back far more
quickly than if you had to recompile the old version. You can use quickpkg
to build packages for currently installed apps.

You should still keep a live CD handy, in case you manage to bork portage :(

'user' specifies that any user *can* mount it, but since the 
system is automounting it via the 'auto' option root is the user
mounting it. Any filesystem without permissions that the linux driver
can read usally sets the owner and group to the user whos mounting it.
So root owns all the files. 

You need to add a gid= and uid= option to the fstab and specify the 
user and group who will own it *or* add a dmask= and fmask= setting the
files so their world readable. 

More info can be found in the man page for mount under the "Mount
options for fat" section.

Hi,

start using esync.

It will not only do the emrge sync for you, it will update the esearch db at 
the same time, so, if you do an esearch BLABLUB you will get actual results 
instatly.  And 'esync' is a lot shorter than 'emerge sync' *g*

I do not tried eix, but esearch works with esync, so, go that way and 
searching will be a matter of how fast you are reading...

my guess is the following: you are auto-mounting it, no? So in effect
it will be mounted by root. user allows mount/umount by ordinary
users, but I don't know what it does to read-write permissions. It is
usually used for allowing users to mount cd/floppy media etc. 

instead of user, try specifying a umask, like

/dev/hda5   /home/blissfix/fat vfat auto,umask= 0 0

[gentoo-user] syslog-ng not repoening log files on HUP

[comsatcat]

Hello,

I have 30 or so machines all displaying the same thing.  When I kill
-HUP (/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload), syslog-ng will not re-open the log
file.  Thus when a log file is rotated, logging stops.  All 30 machines
are logging locally to disk and to a centralized server via tcp.  Has
anyone seen this or have an idea on how to fix this?  Note that syslog
is chrooted as root to /var/log with the -C flag.  I'm assuming the
problem is with my config.

Here are the clients syslog-ng.conf:

options {
time_reopen(10);
time_reap(360);
use_dns(no);
use_fqdn(yes);
keep_hostname(yes);
sync(0);
long_hostnames(on);
log_fifo_size(300);
};
source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };

destination remote {tcp("127.0.0.1" port(514));};
destination console { usertty("root"); };
destination console_log { file("/console"); };
destination local { file("/$FACILITY"); };

filter f_emergency { level(emerg); };

log { source(src); destination(remote); };
log { source(src); destination(local); };
log { source(src); filter(f_emergency); destination(console); };
log { source(src); filter(f_emergency); destination(console_log); };

This is normal. The 'user' or 'users' option only allows users to mount 
the given partition on the fly; it does not specify ownership for 
auto-mounted partitions such as this, which will always be owned by root 
and the root group by default (all partitions mounted automatically by 
fstab are owned by root and the root group, unless you use options that 
change this behaviour, or mount the partitions manually as a user after 
booting).


cat /proc/mounts reveals:
/dev/hda5 /home/blissfix/fat vfat
rw,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev,noexec,fmask=0033,dmask=0033
0 0
not sure what this means but even as root chown gives:
chown: Changing ownership of '/home/blissfix/fat/*':
operation not permitted.
No, because you cannot operate on a mount point controlled by 
/etc/fstab. You would have to unmount the partition first, then remount 
it as a user.

BTW, /home is part of my root partition:
/dev/hdb3  / reiserfs noatime 0 1
But the way to solve this problem is to use the vfat options that 
specify ownership and umask for fat32 partitions:

uid=user_id_by_name_or_number,gid=group_id_by_name_or_number,umask=###
The default ownership for any newly created files is 777, the default 
ownership for newly created folders is 666. Umask *removes* permissions 
from this setup, so a umask of 222 would result in the mounted 
partitions having permissions of 555 or 444. See man mount for more 
information on these options.

Don't forget to unmount the partition, and change the permissions on the 
mount point to conform with your desired ownership and permissions 
before remounting. Nothing more annoying than having the user owning all 
the files, but being unable to save changes because they cannot write to 
the folder in which the files are contained.

Hope this helps,
Holly

Hi,
   I mount mine like this:

/dev/sda2   /home/mark/Gigs vfatrw,noauto,user  0 0

Note that I had to make the Gigs directory as user mark, then su to
root and do a chown and chgrp of /home/mark/Gigs to mark:users. (With
the drive NOT mounted) After that change mounting the drive and
writing to it was no problem.

The message about 'operation not permitted' is most likely because FAT
does not support owner:group:world permissions.

Hope this helps,
Mark

That does sound like the thing to do with my remote server and I will
fork out the dough.

It's no good for workstations, but I think I may have a way to keep
those running through tough times also.  I have one laptop that goes
with me and two workstations that stay where they are.  One of the
workstations only needs a browser and printing capabilities.  The
other one needs some random stuff, but could get by with only a
browser for a while.  The laptop really only needs a browser and
terminal emulator.

Would it work to set up a second remote machine for testing server
changes, but outfit the workstations with custom LiveCDs in case the
main system takes a crap?

This also has the advantage of not having to load up your production

Not sure about the paid support, but (IMO) the correct way to rollout an 
update to your servers is to get another machine with the same software 
setup that you can test on.  If you have a webpage or app that you need to 
upgrade, then do it on your test machine, then roll out an update to your 
gentoo machine.  This is true for almost all types of systems.  Yes, 
buying another machine will cost you little bit, but the first time it 
prevents downtime, it's practically paid for.

# emerge eix

in your cron job to update your db you probably have 'emerge sync', make
it 'emerge sync && eix -u'

to search, 'eix '.  It also accepts regex.  As for speed:

It is not fictional. if the list has all the questions but only half the
answers, the archives are severely reduced in usefulness. This is
especially true if someone posts an incorrect answer but the replies
correcting him go by private mail. When the purpose of the list dictates
that replies should most usefully go straight back to it, adding a
suitable reply-to is sensible.

I never mentioned altering an existing reply to. In doing that, the server
is removing information from the original mail, which should not happen.
There are listservs out there that will add a Reply-To but not replace
one.

My statement does not concern offensive, libellous, or embarrassing emails 
at all. :P  My statement concerns the fictional "loss of information" 
associated with not sending to the list.  It also concerns to actuall 
"waste of bandwidth" associated with sending to a list unintentionally.  
Of course, in this day and age, I don't think the bandwidth is much to be 
concerned about, unless the mailing list software is "stupid" enough to 
send out a message consisting of "My ISO I made with Catalyst doesn't 
work." plus said ISO attached without some sort of administrative 
approval.

I disagree.  It's a very clear issue.  Altering an existing Reply-To is 
wrong. :P

If you are going to send potentially offensive, libellous or embarrassing
emails, you should check carefully where you are sending them, instead of
relying on a setting on a remote server that can be changed, without
notice, at the admin's whim.

Making the default action to be a reply to the list makes sense for a list
such as this one. For other lists, that may not be the case. This is not a
black and white issue, the best approach depends on the circumstances.

Since this is an ISA device I can think of two things:"

2. Does the IRQ the soundcard is using conflict with something (often a

netburp n.

 [IRC] When netlag gets really bad, and
   delays between servers exceed a certain threshhold, the IRC
   network effectively becomes partitioned for a period of time, and
   large numbers of people seem to be signing off at the same time and
   then signing back on again when things get better.  An instance of
   this is called a `netburp' (or, sometimes, netsplit).

I have amarok installed on my machine and want to use AudioScrobbler.  
The Plug-in I have for Beep-Media-Player works fine however the Amarok 
can't submit the played tracks.  I'm sure this is a proxy/firewall issue 
but I can't find the correct configuration in Amarok.

My guess is that the KDE environment has proxy settings internally and 
doesn't use my environment variable.  The catch is I run Enlightenment 
DR16/17 and don't even have KDE fully installed, just the necessary 
libraries for Amarok and other apps to run. 

How can I set the proxy for Amarok.

[gentoo-user] hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 (Busy)

[James Harrison]

Hey,
I'm trying to install Gentoo 2004.3 on my box, it's a 40GB Excelstor 
disk with a 32GB clip so my BIOS recognises it. I'm not using 
hda=stroke, DMA is disabled (ide=nodma) and i'm getting errors like this:

hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 (Busy)
And it's having problems writing/reading to and from disk sometimes.
Any ideas?
James

RE: [gentoo-user] emerge MythDVD does not provide.... MythDVD

[Mike Turcotte]

First of all, unmerge your MythDVD, and the MythTV that it was dependant
on, and anything else that compiled with it. Do you still have the
source you downloaded for MythTV? If not, re-download it, unpack it and
run "make uninstall" to get rid of the MythTV you manually downloaded
and built. Now you can proceed to using "emerge MythDVD" which should
also build MythTV properly.

Nope - I'm running mythfrontend.  I think it has to do with the
difference b/t mythtv as installed by a compile from source vs an
install via emerge.  I just don't know how to fix it.  Any idea how
best to un-install something I installed via compile?

That's just it - the thought process should go into which messages go to the
list, not which messages go to the OP.

Of course the OP should always get the reply, but the list as a whole should
not.

Re: [gentoo-user] Wierd problem with OpenOffice and Matlab...

[David García Pérez]

I was doing a bit more of investigation... and seems that Java is not
the problem... the problem seems to be the nvidia libriries... I
swithc to xorg-x11 and now I don't have to do an opengl-update nvidia
before I start openoffice... since I don't really need an opengl
accelaration for my apps this solution is fine to me... but I will
keep reasearching to see if I can use the nvidia driver... maybe when
nvidia realese an update the problem will be over...

See
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83047
if it is this bug. There was a broken version of binutils in
2.15.92.0.2-r3. See the forum thread linked from the bug report.

Yippie! Now how do I make 'font-lock-mode' set by default? At this
point in time, I open a Tex file and then type M-x-font-lock-mode for
syntax highlighting.

I have that too. My problem is that the 'tex' file isn't identified by
XEmacs as a 'tex' file by default. It need to get into tex mode

add this to your init.el:
