You'll find if you log into a text console (ALT F1, F2 etc), $TERM should be 
linux. However konsole and others in 'X' are set to xterm so something is 
being set as X loads. I couldn't find xterm in any of the /etc/env.d files, 
so its not being picked up there anyhow.

[gentoo-user] Setting $TERM in Konsole (and others)

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I run Konsole for shell sessions, and things are going slightly wrong.
I've tracked it down to the fact that although I've set the Konsole
preferences to $TERM=linux, that variable is obdurately "xterm".

When I put an echo in .bashrc or .bash_profile, it's already xterm. 
How can I find the culprit?

as long as your box is stable, it does not matter, what the sensors say. They 
are lying all the time.

They are so much off the real value most of the time, that the only 
temperature that maters, when your box starts to behave strangely.

Note down that temperature, and do everything to not reach it. But everything 
below that is nice&cool.

[gentoo-user] ODBC Connection to MySQL database

[C. Beamer]

Hello all,

I am trying to set up an ODBC connection to a MySQL database.  I have
done this before when I used Fedora Core, but when I tried to do it
today on my Gentoo system, I got an error message when I tested the
connection.

I have both UnixODBC and myodbc installed.

The instructions that I previously followed to set this up in Fedora
were as follows:

create 2 files - odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini  These files were supposed to
be in /etc.  In Fedora Core, there were templates to use, but I had to
completely create the files in Gentoo.

In the odbcinst.ini file, the line for the driver when I did this in
Fedora Core was:
Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc.so

In Gentoo, there is no libmyodbc.so.  There is, however, a libmyodbc3.so
which is a symlink to libmyodbc3-3.51.11.so

Therefore, I used /usr/lib/libmyodbc3.so as the driver.

In the odbc.ini file, the proper name of the database was listed.

After creating the odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini files,, I ran 'isql
MySQL-home home' which was supposed to test the connectivity to the
database and I got the error [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect

When I did a google search for the error message, I came across a
post where it was asked what the output of isql -v was.  I ran
this on my system and got the following message:

[IM010][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name too long

I've posted to the UnixODBC support list, but my reason for posting here
is to ask if anyone knows whether the instructions that I used to set
this up should have been done differently in Gentoo.  And for what it's
worth, although the database was created when I used Fedora Core and
then, copied into the appropriate place in Gentoo, the database works
fine when I use it from within MySQL.

Regards,

Colleen

[gentoo-user] How do I use the PACKAGE CD contents

[Richard Watson]

I'm trying to use the contents of the 2005.1 packages CD. This may be a
silly question but do I simply copy the files I want to use into the
directory /usr/portage/distfiles or is there a emerge command that allows me
to take them directly off the CD? Thanks, Richard

[gentoo-user] mount mac disks?

[Mark Knecht]

Good afternoon,
   Not a topic I see come up a lot. I finally bought my first Mac - a
Mac Mini - and I'm fiddling around with external 1394 drives. If I use
MSDOS as  a file system for the drive then I have no trouble mounting
the drive on any of my systems, but it made me wonder if I can format
the drive using an Apple native partition type and mount that under
Gentoo?

   Is it possible?

   I had been assuming that since OS X is based on BSD Linux that it
would be happy mounting ext3 drives but it doesn't mount them at all,
at least using their default tools that recognized a 1394 drive when
it's plugged in.

   Thanks in advance for info in this area. I've never used a Mac and
bought this one on a whim after selling my x86 laptop. Not sure if I'm
going to continue running OS X on it or whether I might try Gentoo.

Cheers,
Mark

I'm not an expert on AMD chips but that does seem quite high. With intensive 
compiles I would expect to see the temp raising about 20 degrees or so, 
depending on your fan and sink. How are you monitoring the temp? 
through /proc/acpi/thermal? or just from the bios? Or are you lucky enough to 
have a readout on your box?
 



I also am not an expert on AMD chips, but ~65C seems acceptable for an 
upper-level temperature to me. 

Unfortunately, the AMD documentation 
(http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_739_7203,00.html) 
doesn't really specify what the throttle and shutdown temperatures are 
of the processor.  They just say that the case temperature should not 
exceed 42C, and that Tcase_max is 70C.  I am reading that as meaning 70C 
is the upper design limit for the processor.


What does bother me, as Glen alluded to, is that you are not seeing a 
drop/rise in temperature with load.  That indicates that maybe your 
kernel configuration isn't correct for the Athlon64.  Double check your 
kernel configuration, and make sure you have support for the Athlon64 in 
your kernel.  You might also try enabling "CPU Frequency scaling" with 
the "ondemand" governor and the Athlon64 driver.


You could also post the output of dmesg.

FYI, the pentium-m in my laptop idles at around 60C, but will easily 
reach 85C under full load.  Fortunately, it doesn't throttle until 95C, 
and doesn't shutoff until ~105C.

That seems quite high to me. With an uptime of a shade under 17 days,
during normal use and with [EMAIL PROTECTED] running since 11.5 CPU-days (says
top), /proc/acpi reports 49 degrees Celsius at the CPU. My system,
built around an Athlon 64 3000+, has a critical trip (shutdown)
temperature of 70 C and I have never hit that level. I have not
checked the CPU temperature during lengthy compilations however, but
considering that CPU utilization stays close to 100% due to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
it is probably about the same.

I would consider anything above 60 C as certainly out of the ordinary
and worth investigating.

Does the motherboard BIOS setup show the same temperature as Linux?

Actually, the solution for me was to get rid of the mozilla-bin port and
compile it from scratch.  Evidently mozilla-bin has some integration
problems with Xorg, etc.  Then it doesn't matter what that "Allow
documents to use other fonts" setting is.  My test web page was
www.msnbc.com.  Mozilla-bin totally barfs on this page, whereas the
compiled version renders everything correctly.

I only have one problem left.  Windowmaker starts up (when I am just a
regular user) then aborts because it can't find one of the TrueType
fonts.  That font directory is set in xorg.conf, but I am afraid the
problem is in the /etc/fonts directory.  I just don't have enough
experience working with those config files to get TrueType fonts set up
right.

But I have made good progress!  I am happy about that.

Rob.

I'm not an expert on AMD chips but that does seem quite high. With intensive 
compiles I would expect to see the temp raising about 20 degrees or so, 
depending on your fan and sink. How are you monitoring the temp? 
through /proc/acpi/thermal? or just from the bios? Or are you lucky enough to 
have a readout on your box?

[gentoo-user] OT: CPU Temperature

[Jamie Dobbs]

I built myself an AMD64 based system a week ago using the following 
components:


Albatron K8NF4U motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Socket 939)
1GB DDR Memory
Albatron TC6200 video card

Motherboard sensors indicate that the CPU core is running at a constant 
65 degrees Celcius and this figure does not change more than a degree  
no matter what is being done, it only increased to 66 degrees C while 
doing a compile of xorg, kde and gnome which took a few hours.


Should I be worried about these figures? The heatsink feels only 
slightly warm to the touch and I am sure it is seated correctly so I 
wonder if the BIOS is reporting the right temperatures. Does anyone have 
the same board that can help me out here?


Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out what the 
"acceptable" temperature range for my CPU is?

  Please post a copy of what you get when you run...
  emerge --pretend --update --deep --world

  It'll help us better understand what your exact problem is.  In
general, if you're asking about *ANY* Gentoo problem, it helps to have
the error listing as part of your post.

Problem
===
  I had the exact same problem in Firefox.  What's happening is that you
are setting up *YOUR* fonts, but the browser is using *THE WEBPAGE'S*
fonts, so what you do has no effect.

Solution

  The Mozilla menu sequence might be slightly different.  In Firefox, it
was as follows...

Edit
Preferences
General
Fonts & Colors

  Near the bottom of the "Fonts & Colors" tab, check the option...
Always use my: [X] Fonts

  Now *YOUR* font choices should take effect.

No, I do not know why this error appears. But I'd try to remove the 
alsaconf generated section from the file (make a backup of it first if 
in doubt) and rerun ALSAconf, yes.

Alsaconf is an old and dirty script, but it still does a really good 
job.

  Actually, "fortran" is a gcc flag that seems to have some other uses.
You *DO* need it.  "perl" is for enabling optional perl support in

Sure. Delete the copy on your system and emerge sync to get a new one
from the portage tree. Or you could go through CVS (from the main Gentoo
page, choose the 'Browse our CVS" link, and browse to the correct
category and package name folders), and download the correct ebuild.

It looks from the ebuild that net-misc/e100 was intended for 2.4.x
series kernels (*.o as opposed to *.ko).  I would suggest running 'make
menuconfig' or similar and enabling e100 as a module from within the
kernel tree.

I found it.  Had to modprobe e100 and restart /etc/init.d/net.eth0.

Re: [gentoo-user] ifconfig vs iproute2

[Joshua Schmidlkofer]

iproute2 is newer and while it takes over all of the abilities of
ifconfig, it is modularized and designed for controlling advanced
router features as well as basic interface related stuff.

The capabilities of it are vastly superior to ifconfig, and sometimes the notation is simpler.

Setup eth0, and activate it:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up
route add -net 0/0 gw 192.168.1.254

ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 brd 192.168.1.255
ip link set eth0 up
ip route add default via 192.168.1.254



There is a type of NAT [aka FastNAT] that you can use with iproute2 -
involving no iptables/netfilter support.  You can setup multiple
defoult routes, rudimentary load balancing, and other stuff. 


For a better concept of the abilities of iproute2 - please see http://lartc.org
The Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control site.

Then you could define a key-sequence for setting the sticky property.
If fluxkeys is installed, use it and add a kombination for "stick"

If not, you can edit ~/.fluxbox/keys by hand and add something like:
Mod1 Shift s :stick

Then alt-shift-s makes the active window sticky. Hope it works for
toolbars as well.

Clearly, I did this to myself.  But now I don't know how to set it right.  I suspect
all the pieces are here, but a quick look at distfiles didn't even show that version
of xchat, so I don't know how to proceed.  The syntax of the offending line
looks enough like the ones around it that I can't intuit a quick edit fix.
Maybe somebody could email the correct ebuild, or quick instructions for
forcing a new unpack or whatever seems best?

While I'm here: the reason I was looking was that I was wondering what the
USE flags xchatdccserver, xchatnogtk and xchattext do, and was hoping the
ebuild itself might tell me.  It didn't, or at least not very well.  Especially the
xchattext one.

Yes, I haven't used fluxbox much, but I would have imagined that it
allowed for 'sticky' (since that's where I first heard of it)-- but I
would imagine that the problem is that the window in question doesn't
have a *titlebar*:

... and toolbars don't usually have titlebars.

Is there another way to make a given window sticky in fluxbox (via a
menu or something)? Otherwise, looks like it's still a job for
devilspie (and that is kinda what devilspie is for, anyway, so)

Thank you, Holly .. :-)

For the right answer, for your patience with a "newbie" to Gentoo and
for always seeming to have the right answer to any post that you reply to.

I learned something new today.  I *did* try using equery to determine
the dependencies of pine and  uw-mailutils-2004g, but didn't get any
dependencies listed.  Anyway, next time, I won't have to bother the list
with a like problem.  :-)

Take care,

Well fluxbox does (am using the it right now) if your theme provides it
there is a button to the left of the titlebar that enables the
sticky-option. 

If it does not, right click the titlebar and there should be an option

Hi all

This is more of a general linux question, but in fluxbox how do you set 
a program to be on all workspaces. I am using engage (from 
enlightenment) as a toolbar but when run from the fluxbox startup file, 
it will only be shown on  workspace 1. The program itself doesnt seem to 
have an option "show on all workspaces" so is there another way to get 
it on all other workspaces.

You can't-- this is a normal block:

(from http://www.gentoo-portage.com )

Runtime Dependencies
pine-4.64-r1

! net-mail/uw-imap - 2004g
>= sys-apps/sed - 4
>= sys-libs/ncurses - 5.1
ldap net-nds/openldap
pam >= sys-libs/pam - 0.72
ssl dev-libs/openssl
app-misc/mimetypes
==>net-mail/uwmailutils
virtual/libc
kerberos app-crypt/mitkrb5

The problem here is that 1) uwmailutils is a new dependency of Pine; 2)
dependencies must be installed before the program that depend on them
(just like you have to build the walls of your house before you put the
roof on, as the roof depends on the walls to hold it up); and 3) pine is
already installed (thus the program that depends on uwmailutils is
installed before what it depends on is installed, since Portage only
removes the previously installed version *after* the new version is
installed, which it can't be because its dependency can't be installed,
because the program that requires the dependency must be installed to
remove the currently-installed version).

If you see what I mean.

Remove (unemerge) Pine, then merge the updated version, so the
dependencies will be installed prior to the program they depend on.

Holly

I went to the painstaking effort of updating each package on my system
that required updating individually and am left with this, which is the
result of 'emerge --pretend --update --deep world':

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] From this, I assume that the installed package, Pine, is blocking the
package nw-mail-utils-2004g, which is *not* installed.  So, how do I
prevent uw-mailutils-2004g from being installed so I can update Pine?

Regards,

Colleen

[gentoo-user] "text-only" email parts in evolution 2.4

[Iain Buchanan]

I recently upgraded gnome to 2.12 (went smoothly, looks great!) and with
it came evolution 2.4.1.  One of the features of 2.2.3 that I found
great was the "only show text parts of messages" plug in.  This is the
first time I saw evolution support such a (long wanted) feature.

However, it appears that plugin got in by accident, and although I'm
sure a huge number of evolution users want it, have asked for it, and
use it, it was never meant to be there and is not officially supported
(and hence was taken out of 2.4)

Excuse me for asking a dumb question, but why?  This seems to be a basic
feature supported by every real email client on earth, so why not
evolution?  So what if some people don't want it - that's why its an
option...

All flame wars about html vs text emails aside, how do I get it back?
I've been trying to find out how to get / use plugins for evolution, but
there doesn't seem to be much help about it.

And also, if so many people want such a feature, why isn't it a patch
from gentoo?  Is there some fundamental understanding that I'm missing?

Any help, or enlightenment about the topic, would be much appreciated,
Thanks,

[gentoo-user] GDB EOF Issue

[Justin Hart]

I'm debugging some code that reads from ifstream.  When running in
GDB, a file loading routing fails, whereby it would appear that the
ifstream.eof() works improperly (it keeps reading past the end of the
file).

Searching around the net yielded a couple of posts in forums regarding
a bug in GDB that could cause this issue.  I am wondering if a version
of GDB that is no so afflicted is currently available in portage.

Ok, I was a bit too fast on that one. The frequency of the lock-ups
seems to have lowered, but they still happen. And always right before my
automatic backup, too. This really sucks.

Anybody has an idea how to debug this? The trouble is, the computer is
locked-up really hard, even the SysRq commands don't work anymore. Is
there any other way to get information about what the CPU is doing (or
where it is stuck)?

[gentoo-user] wxGTK-2.6.2 always requires gtk2

[Carlos]

Hello all!

I am trying to emerge wxGTK-2.6.2 with -X use flag (that should install
only wxbase -non-gui libs- ) but it stills trying to emerge gtk+. In
wxGTK-2.6.1 you can use -gtk2 and -wxgtk1 USE flags to avoid this to be
installed.  Is there any reason for 2.6.2 to work in this way? bug
in ebuild?

mymachine ~ # emerge -pav wxGTK
>>> --pretend disables --ask... removing --ask from options.

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