Problem with ebuild media-gfx/gqview-1.3.7 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!!

hi, is there anyone using alsa with sblive? my problem: i can't manage to find the necessary volume controls in alsamixer. i usually use oss, and there i know that: VOL controls the front speakers, OGAIN controls the rear ones, and PCM controls both. basically: front-volume = VOL * PCM rear-volum = OGAIN * PCM but which volume controls should i use in alsa? and, what about the other controls in alsamixer ( bass, treble etc. ) do they work? thanks, gabor -- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] fixed-misc font and japanese :)

I don't see the logic in this? just for a reference, i also upgraded from xfree4.2.99.3 to 4.2.99.4 and kde3.1 works without problems... same for gnome2.2rc2 my friend did an upgrade from xfree4.2 to 4.2.99.4 and his fonts got smaller, but it turned out that he forgot to do an etc-update. after that it was ok. maybe you forgot etc-update? gabor -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] unmerge auto uninstall dependent packages
hi, i'm searching for a feature of the mandrake-urpmi system: when i do a urpme gtk on mandrake, it not only uninstalls gtk, but also removes all the packages that depend on gtk... so i don't have any broken dependencies on my computer. as far as i know a simple emerge unmerge gtk removes only gtk, and leaves all the gtk apps on the computer. is there a way to achieve what i need? thanks, gabor -- That's life for you, said McDunn.

The arguments can be ebuilds, classes, or dependencies. For example, emerge clean binutils cleansout old versions of binutils; emerge clean net-www/mozilla-0.9.9-r2 cleans out that specific version of Mozilla. This is generally safe to use. Note that clean does not remove unslotted packages. Hope this helps, thanks, but that's not exactly what i need... :( for example let's say i install gnome... then i want to uninstall gnome... but first time i didn't do an emerge gnome because i didn't want all those gnome-gadgets, gnome-games, gnome-toys, so i did an emerge nautilus gnome-desktop gnome-session and that got me all i needed. but now when i do an emerge unmerge gnome-session gnome-desktop nautilus it removes only those 3 packages, and not their dependencies ( like esound, orbit, gconf, gnome-vfs ) usually i solved these problems on mandrake the following way: i did an urpme gtk this command removed gtk and all gtk using packages ( that mean the complete gentoo also ) .. i wrote on a paper what packages i want to reisntall from the list of uninstalled packages. gabor -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I believe this should remove them as they are note required for the functionality of the system as determined by your world list/file. They don't want to uninstall all of somethings dependencies, they want to uninstall everything that is dependent upon a particular package. This, AKAIK, is not implemented. actually i want both of them... the first, to uninstall all the deps, can be done with emerge depclean the second can be done somehow with qpkg -I -nc -q gtk+ that shows all the packages that depend on gtk+ gabor -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] how to set locale globally?
hi, how can i define the locale setting for the whole system? i know i can EXPOR LC_CTYPE=sk_SK for example, but i want to set it up for all the users... on my old mandrake these were in /etc/sysconfig/i18n but there's nothing like that on gentoo... thanks, gabor -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
