[gentoo-user] lot of stuff not compiling, help!

2004-02-12 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all,

it's 2 or 3 days I decided to update my gentoo, but there's a lot of
stuff which doesn't compile.

emerge -u system worked properly, but emerge -u world doesn't.

everything started with mozilla not compiling (there's already a thread
here but it didn't help), then lirc didn't compile. I don't lirc
immediatly, it was just some package I have that wanted to emerge it, so
I decided to try to emerge only what I normaly use package by package
:-(

but again at the first package I tryed, gnuplot, I've got the following compiling
error.
I have to say that a lot of packages compile without problems...

I have the terrible feeling I did something wrong in the paste and now
something is wrong in my distribution...
For example, for a while I forgot (didn't know) to put -u when emerging
packages, so I'm afraid I miss somthing fundamental...

Anyone know if this can be a problem and how to solve it?

I like a lot the philosophy of gentoo, but
I'm quite a beginner and now all this sound quite misterous to me...
Thank you so much for any help,
alberto

Re: [gentoo-user] lirc-0.6.6-r1 doesn't compile

2004-02-11 Thread Alberto Bert

I'm using the gentoo-sources 2.4.22, but I don't really care so much
about having lirc immediatly, I can wait untile there is a stable gentoo
version. I thought it was a problem of my configuration... actually I
didn't asked to emerge lirc but gentoo wanted to install it as new
package during the emerge -u world. When I tryed to emerge world gentoo
wanted me install a lot of new packages, I thought they are needed by
the new versions of the packages I already had... But maybe I'm wrong
and I'm just filling my box with stuff I'll never use...

Can anyone help me in this? Maybe there's the way to don't install new
packages like lirc (now not working) and go ahead with the emerge world.

thanks,
alb

yes, I did it immediately after but obtaining the same result :-(

I'll try again today, but I'm starting to suspect having something else
wrong, since all people say mozilla is compiling. I've no idea what it
can be wrong...

thanks for all the help,

it doesn't compile the same way also with default CFLAGS:

-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe

no, I'm trying now... I commented the line in make.conf, we'll see...

about the masking I wrote before, I think it doesn't matter at all, in
fact I watched at packages not in stable version...

my CLFAGS were:
-march=pentium3 -mcpu=pentium4 -O3 -pipe

is there anything delicate?

now the default ones apparently are something like:

-mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe

could anyone explain me the difference please?

[gentoo-user] mozilla 1.6 not compiling

2004-02-06 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all,

I'm not an expert of gentoo at all, but I've never had compilation problems up to now
(~ 1 year working), so I was very surpised today...

I tryed to emerge mozilla 1.6, it requested several other updating and
new emerging, among them xfree, gtk+, etc.
The compilation stops with the following error message.

Plus, now something seems to be happened to emerge, since when I try to emerge centain 
packages it gives me errors like:

snoopy root # emerge -pv xterm

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

Calculating dependencies   
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "xterm" have been masked.

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

the error appear not for all packages...

What am Isupposed to "correct"?

Any help would be VERY appreciated.
thanks,
Alberto

Re: [gentoo-user] Newbie "window manager" question :)

I'm not an expert at all, but I'm enjoying window maker a lot.
It's got a lot of nice features, like multiple desktops and high
configurability, without fill your memory. I think it's a good
compromisea and If you are used to KDE,
you'll be surprised by the short time it takes to start...

Re: [gentoo-user] post-it notes application?

2003-09-17 Thread Alberto Bert

yes, there I found knotes, goat and xpad, among a lot of other things...

knotes is from kde
goat is from gnome
xpad is from GNUStep

so in any case I have to emerge a lot of stuff and I'm afraid they will
take a lot of memory for running (not sure)

Probably the lighter one in xpad

Any hint about this?

I would like to have a yellow post-it notes manager like knotes or goat, but I
don't use gnome or KDE (WM fan.)
Could you suggest me any program like those for wm or x, which don't

That tells the full story: no loader is available for that
image format. CVS imlib2's loaders and filters (all *.so files) 
were errantly moved to the libimlib2-dev package along with
the .so library symlinks.

do we have the same problem?

What am I supposed to do? I've no idea :-(

[gentoo-user] eterm problems

2003-09-12 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi,

I emerged Eterm, but when I try to execute it, it gives a lot of errors
like

Eterm:  Error:  Unable to load image file "menu1.png" -- No loader
available for that file format

then the term appears but it's not so nice as I though...

The images are in a dir listed in the path in the theme file, so it
seems I miss some part...

I tryed also to download some themes from the eterm website and one

I've also tryed to listen to some radio, let's say bbc1
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/

and also in that case no sound.

Do you really thing that could be due to the network?

Is there any way to check if my plug-in is working? maybe a VERY small

as you've understood, I'm not an expert :-)

I visualized the source of the page but I cannot find the right file...

furthermore, why the mplayerplug-in doesn't start but just show a string
saying that is loading?

[gentoo-user] mplayer doesn't work

2003-09-12 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi,

I emerged mplayer some days ago to listen the radio via the internet.
When I try to use it with mozilla it shows only a string like "loading
mplayer plug-in" and nothing happen.
When I've tryed to use it out of mozilla it gives me a strange crash
(reported below)

I tryed to re-emerge it (there was a new version in the portage)
together with all his dep. ( -Du ), but no way, always the same error.

I've heard in this list a lot of person with mplayer working, what's
wrong with mine?
Since it's not so stable, is there anything else that I can use instead?

Thank you for your time,

but you can find a lot of other versions in the internet.
You can set any color you want (not just foregrond and background.)

[gentoo-user] fonts doubts...

2003-09-11 Thread Alberto Bert

Maybe is a stupid question, but:

anyone has some suggestions on which fonts I should install?
I don't want to fill my gentoo with something I'll never use, and at the
same time I don't want to have problem in reading basic stuff.

If I do

# emerge -s font

there is a big number of packages and I get lost.
What I REALLY need?

Re: [gentoo-user] ! SOLVED ! postscript fonts???

2003-09-11 Thread Alberto Bert

I probably understood which was the problem:

gv by default doesn't do the antialiasing fo fonts and aparently it is
needed (at least in my case.) Now I entered

GV.antialias:   True

in my ~/.gv file and everything is fine.

Anyone know why antialiasing is not on by default? Is there any reason

I'm a new user, but I had a similar problem some time ago and I
recompiled everething by

# emerge -e world

it sets the portage tree empty (but glibc), so everything will be re-emerged and
compiled. If you want also recompile glibc, you just have to do it
manually before the emerge world.

hope can be usefull

Hi all,

I've got a dual boot win and gentoo and I decided to use the GTM time for
the linux kernel, but I would like to see my local time.

Unfortunately windows seem to touch the time and in gentoo I've always a
wrong time.

I think this is an old problem... Is there any way to overcome it?

[gentoo-user] does mplayer work?

2003-09-02 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi,

I emerged mplayerplug-in to listen to the radio by using mozilla, but
aparently it doesn't work. It show me something like "mplayer loading
..." in the box (into the page) where there should be the mplayer working.
Mozilla in about plug-in shows that it is installed...

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Re: [gentoo-user] Boot problems

2003-09-02 Thread Alberto Bert

Hi,

beginner questions:

I don't have problem with the gentoo kernel, can that be related with
the hardware you have? Are you comparing the same kernel version for
gentoo and vanilla (that can matter I guess)?

my experience:

When I installed gentoo I had several kernel panics and they were
related to the configuration of the kernel compilation, tha is by far
the more difficult stuff for a beginner like me.

[gentoo-user] do I need mplaier?

2003-08-29 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all,

as I know, I need to install mplayer in order to listen the music in some sites,
but do I really need it? I already have xmms and I don't want to fill my box
with programs that I'll (almost) never use. Furthermore mplayer brings a lot of
other stuff in emerging.
Can I use xmms with some setting to listen to that music.
I'm using mozilla and konqueror as brousers.

Thanks to everyone,
this mailing list help me really a lot,
thanks guys,

thanks, now it works, BUT that flash stuff open a window from which I'm

should I emerge mplayerplug-in? Is there any alternative, since it wants

[gentoo-user] x freezes sometime

2003-08-25 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all,

I'm using gentoo since some months and I'm very happy of it, but it's
some day that I've several problems.

- mozilla window frezes sometimes
- it's happened that kde freezes after lounching the console
- kde is taking along time to load at loging (more than before)

I cannot understand such a strange behaviour, the only thing that I
can say is that I have recently update gcc, glibc and other basic
stuff, does matter?

As I said I'm not an expert user, so another question is: how much is stable
the software in the portage? Should I update always, or should I wait a
little before doing it?

thank you a lot,

[gentoo-user] mozilla freezes in some networks (?)

2003-08-14 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi,

I'm using my laptop in different networks,

10 Mbit static IP
DHCP
100 Mbib staic IP

I don't know why mozilla works only in the first one and unfortunately
it is going to be eliminated. In the other 2 network it doesn't work.
So I'm in trouble...

mozilla freezes the window and I must kill it by terminal. It starts
correctly apparently, but when I try to write in any field (like the
url) it freezes.

the network is aparently working, lynx and konquerror work, but not
mozilla...


anyone has any idea of what is going on?

[gentoo-user] network help needed

2003-08-14 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all,

I'm using my laptop in two different networks, one use dhcp (dinamic
auto IP) and the other normal static IP. Is there any way to set network
parameters to select automaticaly the right network coinfiguration?

Could you suggest a solution for this problem? I don't know so much in
networking, so please be explicit ;-)

up to now I'm doing something EXTREMELY stupid: I have 2 /etc/conf.d/net
and I switch between them manually, then since I don't know how to
restart the network with new parameters, I reboot :-(
(/etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop and start doesn't work, I mean probably it's
not enought)

I'm sure there is something more clever.

Any suggestion?

I just added iface_eth0="dhcp" to /etc/conf.d/net deleting the other

[gentoo-user] how to re-emerge everithing?

2003-07-04 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all,

I recently (you help me a lot) installed gentoo on my pc. Just now (me
stupid) I realized that I compiled everything with default CFLAGS. So
that I didn't use the main nice gentoo's feature.
Now, that the system is working, (almost everything) I would like to
re-emerge (or recompile) everything, but really everything, using more
convenient CFLAGS (still I don't have a lot of packages.)

Is that possible? And How?
I have got qpkg to show me my packages, but is that really everything
what I have installed from the initial stage?
Is there any rules to follow in emerging? (dependences)

Any other suggestion?

I didn't pu alsa in modules.autoload, but I used:

rc-update add alsasound boot

but as I can understand, alsasound it's just a script, not a module, and
it should load several other modules...

 in dmesg there is nothing concerning alsa and if i try to modprobe it
 (alsa or alsasound) it cannot find it, it's just because it's not a real
  module but just a script?

ok, now I recompiled the kernel with modules (sound as module and no
soud card selected) The difference is that now I cannot use soud any
more (as espected, I guess) mpg321 says me: no default libao available.

BTW: is libao just for oss?

BUT still i cannot load alsa :-(
in dmesg there is nothing concerning alsa and if i try to modprobe it
(alsa or alsasound) it cannot find it, it's just because it's not a real

If yes what can i do toload what i need to play music?
If I follow alsa gentoo doc it doen't work, maybe I'm doing

yes, like it is written in gentoo alsa guide. I enableb as module sound
support and no driver selected.

But should I also load sound-support module? I didn't! It is not
written...

And what it's more surprising (and I'm warried) after the compilation
of the kernel descripted in that documentation, I haven't got any more
bzImage in my /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot !!!

And furthermore if it would be there should I copy it in /boot ?

Hi,

I'm trying to make working the sound on my notebook. A kind guy already
explained to me that I need acpi support and that can work just using
2.4.19 kernel (wrong patches for 2.4.20 aparently.) Now I installed and

I saw that there is a apci4linux USE option, should I use it in

I understood how to unload the old module.

OK, just a warning reguarding the non GPL nature of nvidia. lsmod seems
to give good result, but still the same error: nvidia module does'nt

modprobe gives error (see before)

with lsmod I see that still is loaded the driver NVdriver which I built
before downloading tar.gz from nvidia site. Unfortunately nvidia has not
unisntall features (they are crazy!), so I deleted everyhing (hopefully)
what they spread over my fs. But I don't know how to unload that module

[gentoo-user] x doesn't work!

2003-06-29 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi, all

(installing gentoo) ok, finally I've got a nice console and I'm
downloading my favourite programs...

I'm trying now to setup x.

I've got a notebook toshiba 5200-801 (see HELP thread) with nvidia.

I tryed first with the nv driver, but I got a little blue box in the
midle of the screen with xdm written inside and some white lines
arranged like a window frame, and I couldn't interact at all, but
Crt-Alt-Backspace.

Then I installed the nvidia driver and I tryed with it, but I got the
same result.

I even tryed to use windowmaker (just to see) and it actually produce a
little image of the wm desktop in the middle of the screen, but again no
interaction.

I alreadi read the nvidia Troubleshooting Guide in gentoo site but
doesn't help me.

I suspect I'm doing some basic error, probably not realted to nvidia
driver, I'm absolutely not an expert...
Could you help me, please?

Thanks
bye
Alberto

Re: [gentoo-user] missing mirrorselect

2003-06-27 Thread Alberto Bert
Sorry ;-)

but wouldn't be nice to have from the beginning, to download all that
stuff in stage 2 of the installation?

Maybe I've missunderstood something...

exactly I forgot :(

you're right but I was convinced it was activated... as a personal
opinion I would prefer to edit a file than to use menuconfig.

about the root option still I'm not completly sure (see my previous
mail) but aparently I forgot to support reiserfs (I was sure I did :)
I'm recompiling...

by the way, so can't I have frame buffer? :-(

yes, it was! Now I can see messages (I simply put away that vga
argument) and exactly I have a kernel panic:

VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:04

I have a reiserfs for root, can it be a problem?
Maybe it's something related to grub commands...

I have:
hda1 win
hda2 /boot
hda3 /swap
hda4 /

and this is the command in grub:

root (hda0,1)
kernel (hda0,1)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda4

I'll check if I put all reiserfs stuf in kernel

Thanks

[gentoo-user] HELP installation

2003-06-27 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi all,

I'm trying to install gentoo (it's the first time) on a toshiba 5200-801

P 4 M 2.0 GHz
512 MB
lot of cards
...

I followed the installation instruction on the gentoo site but I've got
a big problem.
Grub seems to work, but when I select gentoo it prints for a moment on 
screen the title I set in grub, then everything becomes black, the Caps
Lock kye start blinking (???) and I can do nothing else than switching
off :-(

I selected the gentoo kernel 2.4.20 from the LiveCD and I compiled
everything (stage 1)

Anyone has an idea in what's going on?

Thanks,
Alberto
