[gentoo-user] portage dependency problem with net-nds/jxplorer-3.1_rc4
For a short time I have been using net-dns/jxplorer to access an openldap server I an tinkering around with. When jxplorer's version moved from 3.1_beta1 to 3.1_rc4 in portage, a whole new string of dependencies cropped up that make no sense and must be in error. A review of my portage logs indicates that when I initially installed jxplorer-3.1_beta1, no other packages were required to install. Since it is a java program, I thought that I would throw in that I am using the blackdown 1.4.2.01 jre/jdk Any help would be most appreciated as I have been forced to unmerge jxplorer in order to sync/update.

[gentoo-user] Is this a KDE split build problem, a KDE problem or just me?
Hey ho, I've installed KDE 3.4.0 using the split ebuilds. Originally I did not install kdebase-meta but just kdebase-startkde, then the extras like kicker and kate and stuff (no Konqueror; I use Krusader and Firefox). This did not last, as I had to install the rest of kdebase-meta when I wanted to install kbiff, which was unfortunate, but noted in the changelog, so fine. KDE works and all programs are installed, but there's something very wrong with the K-menu: 1) KControl does not appear (can be accessed using a Run box), which is annoying and disturbing (if the KDE Control Center does not appear in the KDE menu, something must be truly borked, imo); 2) Kate does not appear in either the menu or in the Open With menu. If I select Kate manually (using the full path to the binary) and then tell KDE to use it for all files of whatever type, it will remember that Kate exists for those types of files. But it doesn't know where the icon is, apparently (another disturbing but minor side-issue); 3) KMenuEdit does not change menu entries (the app runs, but any changes I make to icons or menu item position are not reflected in the menu itself, even after a reboot. And yes, I did of course save my changes, and the the system configuration is being updated dialog did appear and supposedly did its job); 4) KDE Mime-type editor will not allow me to edit entries (I went to text-plain and tried to edit the Kate entry to see if I could associate the icon; kcontrol froze and had to be killed). Is anyone else seeing any of this? I certainly didn't see issues like this under SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.4, but then again SuSE tweaks madly, so it *could* be a KDE thing. Or it could be a split build thing (something not installed, making communication between the parts of KDE difficult). Or it could just be that I did something completely wrong somehow-- after all, I managed to break GNOME again and I don't know how I did that, either. Any suggestions to point me in a direction so that I could fix/troubleshoot whatever has gone wrong here would be appreciated. Thanks, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] SLOTS and Cedega
Hi all, Those of you that use Cedega probably know that some versions work better with some games than others. I'm wondering how to install multiple versions simultaneously, via Portage, without having them stomp all over each other. Yes, I could use Point2Play, but that seems to cause more problems than it solves much of the time, and I would rather avoid it. I am also trying to keep as much of the Wine things as possible in one family (either WINE or Cedega, I really don't want to have to keep track of what's running under which any given month. One time through the WINE and TG databases and Wikis and forums was quite enough for now). As I see it, there are two issues of concern: 1) SLOTS 2) binary name Now for WineX v3 and WineX ver2 this is not so much of a problem, because WineX 2.2.1 (needed for Planescape:Torment, as this is the only version it runs under) a) actually has its own SLOT (2.2.1), and b) uses a unique binary name (winex, whereas WineX 3.3.2 uses the binary name winex3). However, all versions of WineX 3 and Cedega use the same SLOT (3) and of course, all versions of cedega use the same binary name (cedega). So here's my question; if I: 1) edit the ebuilds for the Wine versions I want to use to give them unique SLOTS (by version number) 2) unpack and repack the *.tgz packages to make sure that a) the files install into unique directories under /usr/lib (only a problem for multiple versions of Cedega itself; WineX v2 and WineX v3 install into unique directories under /usr/lib) and b) the binaries have a unique name (again only a problem for multiple versions of Cedega, basically I'd just add the verion to anything other than the latest) 3) move the edited ebuilds to my OVERLAY and redigest them that should do it, yes? Have I missed or forgotten anything? And is this b.g.o-worthy? I really don't think that WineX 3 and Cedega should use the same SLOT-- at the very least Cedega should use SLOT 4, leaving SLOT 3 for WineX 3-- and by preference I'd rather that they all used a version-based slot like 2.2.1 does, since it's really not unreasonable that I might want to install several versions of Wine X/Cedega until such time as TG gets it together and stops breaking stuff that used to work in the name of getting the 'next big thing' to work. Just doing a double-check before I give this a shot; thanks for any suggestions. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

There could be a couple of reasons reasons: 1) you're running a amd64 system (~amd64 is not set in /etc/make.conf), and you've installed evolution-data-server with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS instead of with an entry in /etc/portage/package.keywords; 2) something else is installed that depends on the earlier version of evo-data-server and must downgrade evo-data-server to the version it can use. For 1), add gnome-extra/evolution-data-server ~amd64 to /etc/portage/package.keywords For 2) instead of emerge -upDv, try emerge -upDtv to get a tree view of what is trying to downgrade evo-data-server. Perhaps that program needs to be updated to an unstable version that will accept the higher version of evo-data-server. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

In that case. to unmask the package, what you'd want to do is add this to /etc/portage/package.keywords. First, make sure you have the /etc/portage directory. If you do, then go to the next step. If you don't, create it (as root): # mkdir /etc/portage Once you have the directory, open a terminal, su to root and type echo 'sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 ~x86' /etc/portage/package.keywords This will create the file package.keywords if it does not exist, and add the line sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 ~x86 to it. Or you could just open a text editor as root and add this line to the file, if you want. This unmasks the package in question, which should allow you to emerge it.

PasswordAuthentication yes PermitEmptyPasswords no # Change to no to disable s/key passwords ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes ... UsePAM no ... If I disable the password authentication, when I try to connect I receive the message: Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). If it is enable, the password it's requires to me.

I don't understand why people get so defensive over these kinds of ideas. Upgrades aren't evil. If someone complained about a bug, the first thing you'd do is tell them to upgrade to the newest version. And I did suggest the multipart protocols to be used, unless you knew the capabilities of the recipient. And, no, MS does not have to be involved. There are plenty of standards they act like they don't even know about! I'm tired of everyone being so blatently rude in their defensive stances over simple suggestions of improvement. For some reason, I've noticed these actions move prevalently in regards to email protocols and formats. The W3C wants to release a new version of HTML? No one complains (mostly). Someone wants to create a new e-mail standard, or expand an existing one? Off with their heads!

I repeat section 8.c and reset the password. I also move ahead to section 11 and create a user account for myself, passing along '-G wheel', so I can su if necessary. I reboot again back to Gentoo but get the same problem when logging on as root.

Re: [gentoo-user] Blue video playback
Do you have a laptop or multi-output video card? On my laptop system, I get video on the laptop screen, but only a frame around a bluescreen on the original monitor. Does this give a clue?

[gentoo-user] MTU for DSL
From what I can see I am supposed to set my MTU to 1492 for DSL using PPOE. I modified the /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 iface line to add the option mtu 1492. However, from what the manual says I can't set the addresses and the mtu. So where in Gentoo should I set the mtu. I can set it in /etc/conf.d/local.start but I'm wondering if there is a better place. Thanks. -- Brett I.

[gentoo-user] lost file with reiser4
Has anyone else had a problem in which reiser4 loses a file, but fsck.reiser4 can't find anything wrong? I was trying to burn a large file to dvd+rw but k3b would just ignore it. It would therefore spend very little time writing the dvd, but a long time verifying it before it decided that the file was missing from the dvd. I then found that when I clicked on the file icon in konqueror I would get a message that the file did not exist, while khexedit would show me an empty file. F3ing in midnight commander would also show me an empty file until the file was moved to trash, after which it would show me the binary gibberish I would normally have expected. However moving the file to trash did not help konqueror or khexedit to see anything in the file. I booted from a rescue disk and ran fsck.reiser4, but it found no error. The file had a simple ascii name (winxp.img) and, at 4GB exactly, was by far the largest file I have ever had on my reiser4 partition. Deleting the file completely freed up the space the file was supposed to have been taking up. Does anyone know if this is a known problem with reiser4, if it is indeed a problem particularly with large files, and if I would be likely to meet it again once I start using large files more often for video editing and stuff?

I tried to upgrade(?) from devfs to udev(045) today and it was miserable. I followed the Gentoo Udev Guide as well as DSD's guide but no go. I've recompiled my kernel(2.6.11) to _not_ mount /dev/ automatically at boot. (devFS is still compiled into the kernel) edited /etc/conf.d/rc RC_DEVICES=auto RC_DEVICE_TARBALL=yes RC_DEVFSD_STARTUP=yes changed my kernel (grub) line to append gentoo=nodevfs Rebooted and faced a lot of issues. The 1st would be the obvious /sbin/rc file : The Gentoo Linux system initialization scripts have detected that your system does not support DEVFS or UDEV. Since Gentoo Linux has been designed with these dynamic /dev managers in mind, it is highly suggested that you build support for it into your kernel. Please read the Gentoo Handbook for more information! I continue booting and I find that in the _worst_ case, I can't load up /dev/hda3 (root) due to a missing/invalid/non-existant symlink in /dev I tried executing udevstart and it spurt out these (bunch of) lines in /var/log/messages configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules' at line 133 applied, added symlink '%k' configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules' at line 133 applied, 'vcs3' becomes 'vcc/%n' I tried a few variants but all of them no go. I finally relented and removed udev and reverted back to my old kernel (/dev/ mounted automatically at boot) I boot into the original kernel and now I see these errors : devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/2 devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/3 devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/a3 devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/4 devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for vcc/a4 Guys... There are 2 ways to fix this. 1. Help me get udev running again. (but why do I need udev anyway??) 2. Help me get devfs running again. Right now.. I see it's only those few errors above and everything seems to be working. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!

Heh. reiser4 is full of bugs.

Thanks Ciaran. It's actually the first problem I've had with reiser4 since I started using it a few months ago - much more reliable than that NTFS most of the rest of the world uses - when I was using windows NTFS crapped up on me several times a week.
