[gentoo-user] How to handle 50 files in ... need updating.?
Hi all, after a world update now I got more than 50 config files needing updating and I am wondering if there might be a BETTER way of doing this - better than the usual manually diffing of each single file to see if I can take the old one or the new one or must merge with the new one...

I ran 'emerge openoffice' last night before I left for work, and when I came home there was an error. I went to emerge another package (evolution) and immediatly got another error. Upon rebooting I noticed somewhere it said device is full, so I ran df and noticed that the 2GB /var partition was full and I am assuming that is the reason I cannot run emerge successfully. Why is /var full already? Since it holde the sources and is used to compile the packages. I thought 2GB would be overkill. Was I wrong? yep. What can I do to clean it out? Leave it. Should I make a larger partition for /var? yep. I did this: 1. make a 5 GB partition. 2. mount my new 5GB partitions as something (add it to /etc/fstab) 3. move the complete /var/tmp directory to something, so that it would become /something/tmp 4. make a symlink: ln -s /something/tmp /var/tmp 5. restart the emerge again: works nicely then. :-) After it finished running most of the rubbish in /something/tmp got erased automatically.

[gentoo-user] ACER Laptop: DVD/CD Combo drive not detected entirely.
Hi, my old Acer TravelMate 260 makes a problem with Gentoo: the DVD/CD combo drive (DVD/CD reader + CD burner) is not detected completely. Starting k3b-setup I get told that there is no writer, but only a reader. Following the advise given there, I added modprobe ide-scsi to some file in /etc/modules.d/ and started modules-update, went fine. Now I would like to tell the kernel about my SCSI whishes: normally I would just add a append = hdc=ide-scsi to my /etc/lilo.conf - but Gentoo is using Grub, so where/how could I add these parameters now?

[gentoo-user] Volume full during world update - how to clean up now?
Hi, during an emerge -u worldthe root partition got filled nearly entirely so emerge stopped during updating (exactly: during compilation) of OpenOffice. I moved a few directories to other partitions and restarted the emerge command, it tells me: emerge (1 of 1) app-office/openoffice-1.1.0 to / This is fine, but there is something very strange: In /var/tmp/portage/ there are a lot of directories full of files (all together more than 2GB) - I asume this is because the previous emerge run was stopped due to lack of disk space, sp probably it did not clean up like usually... it looks like these files are the sources where my packages get build from. Am I allowed to erase the contente of /var/tmp/portage after the emerge has finished running - or would that be less wise? :-) TIA, Karl-Heinz -- Karl-Heinz Zimmer, Senior Software Engineer, Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

The best solution seems to me to be what someone already suggested: write multiple frontends (gtk, qt, curses, etc) for the same app.. then the user can choose whatever they please... I've also been considering the following approach... Make glisrc which reads the config file and installs gentoo. No UI. Then, let other people make the GUIs to generate the config file and run glisrc. Is this a good idea? What are some things I need to consider? ...and a mighty w00t! goes up from the crowd. This would be wonderful because it would allow me to have a firewall install script, a webserver, script, etc. When I go to install a machine, I just pull the correct script and come back the next morning. fully ACK That would be great! So we would have two options: a) Start the install script in _batch_ mode: passing to it the name of an 'answer file' containing the answers to the questions that that would be replied to by the user when /not/ in batch but in dialog mode. or b) Start the install script in _dialog_ mode: using either the (n)curses or the gtk or the Qt interface.

Could you use more swap? Perhaps 512MB or more?
The amount of 328MB RAM+swap is not what I would call too much for

[gentoo-user] XSESSION=kde-x.y.z must be manually updated?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, in /etc/rc.conf there is the new variable XSESSION. If I set this to some KDE version, will it be updated if I run emerge -u on the KDE? Or do I have to update it if the minor version of KDE changes? I just wondered why there is no way to specify XSESSION=KDE - similar to specifying XSESSION=Gnome, where I don't seem to need a versio number.

[gentoo-user] new install: twm OK, but KDE not working
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, this is my 1st mail to this list - if I ask an FAQ please tell me where I can read the answer ad forgive me! ;-) After installing Gentoo from scratch on a new HD in my Acer Travelmate 260 laptop I have the following problem: running startx works: twm shows up but running kdm only shows a gray window: normally this is the case if the laptop is run in an incopatible video mode. How can this be? If normal startx is OK, obviously my key presses in xf86config were Ok as well - so why doesn't KDE start nicely? (I made a completely fresh emerge including an emerge kde) TIA, Karl-Heinz -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/FyxuCcaVnbvggDcRAgkhAKCwut/gNsUqW58uwR1S6WkHXw4gCwCfYmqR ik3o3q+J0x3vHS9kXIhBHZ4= =XcIt -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
