You need to install nxserver (freenx) on the remote box, and a client on the local box. There is an howto at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nx-guide.xml If you don't need to startx but connecting to a running session is enough, you could also install one of the many vnc servers available (x11vnc, xf4vnc) on the remote box, and display the remote desktop on the local machine. As another solution (untested and don't know whether it works), you might try to redirect the remote DISPLAY variable to the local box (with ssh -X, port forwarding or the other usual ways), and then try running something like gnome-session on the remote box, and see if the whole session comes up and is displayed on the local box (with startkde this kind of works, but is awkward). Even if this work, IMHO nx is far cleaner and more efficient.

[gentoo-user] xorg -- orphans
Hello everyone, After emerge xorg some orphaned symlinks were found. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID,Speedo pointed to non-existent files in //usr/share/fonts(what's with the double'/'?). These are flashing red bold-white. /etc/X11/X points to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg which *does* exist where it's supposed to but is listed in non-flashing red plain-white, also an orphan according to DIR_COLORS. On linux.gentoo.dev there is some discussion of the bad font links. Too technical for me, the upshot seems to be it's not really a big deal. Couldn't find anything about Xorg.

Re: [gentoo-user] quickpkg
A little while ago Neil turned me on to quickpkg. It sounds like a great way to protect yourself from the new package blues. Is anyone using it like that? What would be the best way to assure that your system always has a backup copy of your current version of a package available before emerging a new one? A more reliable method, assuming you have the drive space, is to add buildpkg to FEATURES in make.conf. Then emerge will automatically build a package when installing a package. It also means the package is verified, because ebuild builds it then installs from the package it just built, not the files in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR. If I'm understanding it correctly, FEATURES=buildpkg sounds less reliable for failed upgrade recovery. If you want to roll back to a previous version of a package, you're going to end up with what was originally installed, not what was working on your system right before the upgrade, right? Also, I tried to use quickpkg to protect me from any problems upgrading xorg and I ended up totally screwed. I quickpackaged my installed xorg, emerged the latest xorg, it wouldn't start, I tried to 'emerge -K xorg-x11', it said it was blocked by xorg-x11, I unmerged xorg-x11, it still said it was blocked, I tried to unmerge xorg-x11 again and it said it wasn't installed. It does sound like a portage problem instead of a quickpkg problem. I've finally gotten xorg working again thanks to a closed bug record, and let me tell you this: 1. don't emerge hardened xorg without dlloader 2. lynx doesn't work with gmail (predictable) - Grant Neil Bothwick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This can happen on the upgrade from 4.0.6 to 4.2.x. He should do as you suggest and run the merge.

Is anyone using it like that? What would be the best way to assure that your system always has a backup copy of your current version of a package available before emerging a new one? A more reliable method, assuming you have the drive space, is to add buildpkg to FEATURES in make.conf. Then emerge will automatically build a package when installing a package. It also means the package is verified, because ebuild builds it then installs from the package it just built, not the files in $PORTAGE_TMPDIR. If I'm understanding it correctly, FEATURES=buildpkg sounds less reliable for failed upgrade recovery. If you want to roll back to a previous version of a package, you're going to end up with what was originally installed, not what was working on your system right before the upgrade, right? wrong, as the package name contains the version information - eg xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1.tbz2 not xorg-x11.tbz2 so unless you are constantly re-installing the same package with different use flags or cflags you should get a different binary pavckage name each time. Also, I tried to use quickpkg to protect me from any problems upgrading xorg and I ended up totally screwed. I quickpackaged my installed xorg, emerged the latest xorg, it wouldn't start, I tried to 'emerge -K xorg-x11', it said it was blocked by xorg-x11, I unmerged xorg-x11, it still said it was blocked, I tried to unmerge xorg-x11 again and it said it wasn't installed. It does sound like a portage problem instead of a quickpkg problem.

That would put me at risk of being without a desktop manager for quite a while if something went wrong, wouldn't it? I am also told that akgregator is blocking kdepim.

[gentoo-user] What an average gentoo user does over 6mnth period
Being a new user, I'm wanting to get an overview of what an average gentoo user might do or need to do over a 6mnth period. I installed 3 days ago and am still getting things setup. Seems like an awfull lot of time has gone into emerging stuff I wanted installed. Now it turns out there is an update to portage and my system is telling me it needs to update portage and then update the already installed packages. 2 more huge chunks of time lost to compiling. An activity that seems so intensive that I have been reluctant to and doubted the advisability of installing or making configs during the compile process. So far I've spent a very lot of time waiting for something to finish emerging. It seems like things like Mozilla take an extrordinary long time. I'm wondering what a user might see over 6 mnths. How many portage updates in that amount of time. Howmany `update worlds'. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Tip for Harry: In /etc/make.conf set: PORTAGE_NICENESS=19 and the emergeing will go into the background and give way to other processes with higher priority. Also you don't need to update just because you can. If, for example, you stick to security updates, you will have far less compiling. However you may also miss something exciting on the leading edge. And yes mozilla takes a while. But if you really want to wait, try openoffice.

I assume you are refering to merging two packages simultaneously. The compiling won't interfere with the other, but installation could be interesting if the two packages cross paths in some way. Also, since compiling sucks up 99% of CPU, both packages will take longer. Normally, if my box is doing an '--update world' and I want to compile my code, or merge a new package, I'll CTL-Z the '--update world'. This pauses it until I type 'fg' or 'bg' in the same console (forground and background, respectively). I've never had a paused and resumed merge fail on me, however, I have forgotten to resume a few.

Just because you use Gentoo doesn't mean you can't use binary packages. Some are in portage, and some are not. And yes, the install takes days of tweaking. But look it at as an investment. Unlike other OS's (e.g. Fedora), you'll only need to install Gentoo *once* and still be up2date. About once a week I run: # emerge --sync # emerge -a --update world And go to bed.

I ran into the exact same problem yesterday on my laptop. None of my packages were set to accept ~x86. I tried playing around with /etc/portage/package.keywords and accepting different combinations of ~x86 for the packages and still couldn't resolve the blocking. I ended up unmerging xorg-x11 and other blocking packages (ati-drivers). Then re-emerging xorg-x11 and other packages. This solved all the blocking issues. I suspect the problem was that I hadn't fully updated the world in a few months. Several times I've synced and started an updated but not finished. Only to later sync and start another update. Hopefully manually removing the blocking packages will resolve the issue for you too. --Brandon On a recently intstalled 2004.3 from stage2.

When I check it out I see: [blocks B ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (is blocking x11-base/opengl-update-2.1.1-r1) Hey Harry, what command are you running when you get that message? What version of xorg-x11 do you have at present? It seems the answer may be this: Simply emerge xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 without the update flag, ie emerge xorg-x11 should do it. Then do the update thing. opengl-update is not installed. at least according to qpkg -I. And because when I saw the message I thought I could move on by uninstalling it. But the --update still fails. So, I thought I could just dodge it and update some of the other stuff, but other packages are also being blocked by this situation. As a very new user... I'm not sure what to do about this Any recommendations? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Scanner and permissions.
Locate the device that is being used as the scanner device. look at its permissions and ownership. make sure you are looking at the device, not a symlink to it. the standard approach is to give a group (eg scanner group) permissions to the device, then add allowed users ot that group.
