The way I've done it is to edit the world file, removing anything that I don't run, then do an emerge depclean -p. anything that shows up that I want to keep, I put back with emerge -n packagename. Then run depclean -p again until I am happy with what it wants to remove.

[gentoo-user] [OT] web based imaage manipulation, slide show etc
I've been googling around for a tool or suite that will allow the user to remotely manipulate images as in generate dynamic html pages of slide shows of directories of pics, or even organize a herd of images into categories of the viewers choice and then run slide shows etc. I'm thinking of something where family members can access a webpage, navigate to the pics they want to view and view them in a number of ways including slide shows. This would be on a family lan, not the internet so security and cpu intensity would not be major factors. Or at least it doesn't need to be majorly scalable. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Ah, thanks!
I better replicate the information for people with the same problem:

(2) tar jxf ${DISTDIR}/portage-2.1_pre1.tar.bz2
(3) cp -R portage-2.1_pre1/pym/{cache,elog_modules} /usr/lib/portage/pym

I hope you'll give us feedback when you've discovered more. Ok i found out that in fact the HFSC scheduler should be the one which does exactly what i like because it handles bandwidth and latency seperatley.

The drivers contain their own DRI, which will not load if the kernel DRI is loaded already (which it will if it is enabled in the kernel at all). The install script actually checks the kernel's .config (this is why the kernel source to which /usr/src/linux points must have a valid config file, even if it is not yet compiled or installed, in order to install the fglrx drivers) to see if the option is enabled, and halts installation if it is found as either Y or M.

[gentoo-user] emerge routine calling emacs with `poor' cmdline
I'm not sure exactly what is happening to load emacs in such a way that its output (when loading personal init files) causes emerge to error out. I do have most of the error and context to post. What I do know is that emacs is routinely called to byte compile stuff. Normally that call would include `-q --no-site-file ' on the emacs command line. That is routine, so I'm thinking the call is made without those precautions. -q prevents ~/.emacs but also /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/default.el from loading if it exists. --no-stite-file prevents loading of site-start.el if it exists. Those files are reserved for system admins to set global code into emacs started by any user. And of coures ~/.emacs is where users put there own code. Any of those three files is likely to have all kinds of screwy code loading that has no place in a compile situation. I even think it breaks the emerge session. I'm guessing some of my code causes output from emacs not expected by emerge or maybe coming out on standard err caused the problem. Of coures I've recognize the source code I wrote being invoked so I just have to rename a couple of files or even just site-start.el during the emerge. That should not be necessary though. Somewhere in the build session emacs is called wrong and should be fixed. I don't know enough about tracing this out to pull out the hard facts so before posting a bug on this, I'd like to hear some commentary. emerge error with context: (see asterisks below) /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Os -march=pentium4 -pipe -o msguniq msguniq-msguniq.o libgettextsrc.la i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Os -march=pentium4 -pipe -o .libs/msguniq msguniq-msguniq.o ./.libs/libgettextsrc.so /var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.5/work/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/lib/.libs/libgettextlib.so -lc creating msguniq i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DLOCALE_ALIAS_PATH=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DUSEJEXE=0 -DGETTEXTJEXEDIR=\"/usr/lib/gettext\" -DGETTEXTJAR=\"/usr/share/gettext/gettext.jar\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib\" -DGETTEXTDATADIR=\"/usr/share/gettext\" -DPROJECTSDIR=\"/usr/share/gettext/projects\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I. -I. -I.. -I../libgrep -I../libuniname -I../lib -I../lib -I../intl -I../../gettext-runtime/intl -DINSTALLDIR=\"/usr/lib/gettext\" -Os -march=pentium4 -pipe -c -o hostname-hostname.o `test -f 'hostname.c' || echo './'`hostname.c /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Os -march=pentium4 -pipe -o hostname hostname-hostname.o ../lib/libgettextlib.la i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Os -march=pentium4 -pipe -o .libs/hostname hostname-hostname.o ../lib/.libs/libgettextlib.so -lc creating hostname i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DLOCALE_ALIAS_PATH=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DUSEJEXE=0 -DGETTEXTJEXEDIR=\"/usr/lib/gettext\" -DGETTEXTJAR=\"/usr/share/gettext/gettext.jar\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib\" -DGETTEXTDATADIR=\"/usr/share/gettext\" -DPROJECTSDIR=\"/usr/share/gettext/projects\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I. -I. -I.. -I../libgrep -I../libuniname -I../lib -I../lib -I../intl -I../../gettext-runtime/intl -DINSTALLDIR=\"/usr/lib/gettext\" -Os -march=pentium4 -pipe -c -o urlget-urlget.o `test -f 'urlget.c' || echo './'`urlget.c /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Os -march=pentium4 -pipe -o urlget urlget-urlget.o ../lib/libgettextlib.la i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Os -march=pentium4 -pipe -o .libs/urlget urlget-urlget.o ../lib/.libs/libgettextlib.so -lc creating urlget make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.5/work/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/src' make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.5/work/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/src' Making all in po make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.5/work/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/po' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.5/work/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/po' Making all in projects make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.5/work/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/projects' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.5/work/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/projects' Making all in misc make[3]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.14.5/work/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-tools/misc' WARNING: Warnings can be ignored. :-) if test "emacs" != no; then \ set x; \ list='start-po.el po-mode.el po-compat.el'; for p in $list; do \ if test -f "$p"; then d=; else d="./"; fi; \ set x "$@" "$d$p"; shift; \ done; \ shift; \ EMACS="emacs" /bin/sh ../../build-aux/elisp-comp "$@" || exit 1; \ else : ; fi Loading /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/lang-coding-systems-init.el (source)...

I have a record for ns.espersunited.com in my DNS setup on my server box. The problem is that nobody knows who ns.espersunited.com is because my current DNS hosting service (Yahoo SmallBusiness) doesn't allow entry of NS records in their customer DNS settings and my registrar (1accredited.com) won't accept an IP address as a nameserver. I might try listing bullet.espersunited.com as a nameserver (ns.espersunited.com has a CNAME record pointing to bullet.espersunited.com), but I'm not sure it will work. Any suggestions of how to get my DNS server noticed You can only run an externally visible DNS server on a *completely* static IP. If you have a static IP for your server, you then have to ask your domain registrar (for espersunited.com) to register your DNS server with the name(s) you wish, I recommend keeping to the standard nsX.domain. If you ever need to change the IP address for your DNS server, you need to ask your registrar to do this. Only once your DNS server is registered can you use it as a server for a domain. Before you do any of this, however, I *strongly* recommend you get very familiar with DNS and understand exactly what you are doing. I cannot emphasize this enough, since if your DNS server is not running properly you can become the target of various attacks and/or the domain(s) you are servicing may start failing.

It gave me a 403 Forbidden. I checked the permissions from /usr all the way down to /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-1.6.8-r1/html and all were 755. The contents of /usr/share/doc/syslog-ng-1.6.8-r1/html were 444, but I don't think that's a problem.

[gentoo-user] Scanner Epson CX5400
Hello all,I've got a CX5400 EPSON All-in-One printer/scanner.I tried to configure sane-backends in order to get it working on my 2.6.14-gentoo (amd 64), but I think I'm doing something wrong. That is, when I type: # sane-find-scanner -q I get:found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0808 [USB MFP]) at libusb:002:003 But, after configuring /etc/sane.d/epkowa.conf with usb 0x04b8 0x0808and /etc/sane.d/dll.conf with: epkowaThen if I try:# SANE_DEBUG_EPKOWA scanimage -LI'll get: [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of epkowa to 16.[epkowa] sane_init: iscan 1.17.0 [epkowa] sane_init, >usb 0x04b8 0x0808<[epkowa] attach_one_usb(libusb:002:003) [epkowa] EPKOWA SANE Backend 1.17.0 - 2005-08-04[epkowa] attach(libusb:002:003, 3) [epkowa] attach: opening libusb:002:003[epkowa] sane_get_devices() No scanners were identified.

[gentoo-user] Removing Specific Kernel Sources
Hi all, >From all I've ever read and about Linux and the kernel, it has always been recommended that you keep one kernel source older than the one that you are currently running on your system. In this respect, I now have 3 kernel sources on my computer after upgrading today. I would like to remove the oldest one - specifically linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 The Kernel Upgrade Guide tells you how to remove the old sources using emerge -P. However, from what is stated in the manual, *all* old kernel sources are removed. The emerge man page says that a better option is to use emerge --clean. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to remove a specific source tree. Any assistance would be appreciated. Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

No, because the same system that filters list email filters dev email. While I don't use paypal, other devs might to handle shipping of hardware or whatever. That said, they probably don't want PayPal stripped from the subject line. As with most large scale email systems, there tends to be a "you're on your own, you handle it" aspect to filtering.

[gentoo-user] udevstart at boot?
I'm obviously looking in the wrong places, but I can't find documentation on getting udev to start at boot. Sound and a few other things you don't notice right away fail to work until I do: # udevstart /dev/dsp is created with correct permissions and I'm good to go. The question is: How to I get udev to start at boot? I had thought that the place to do this was in grub.conf. Following some instructions I found searching the gentoo forums, I edited my kernel line like so: title Gentoo-2.6.14 root (hd0,0) kernel /bzImage-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 root=/dev/hda5 dev=udev video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr vga=0x317 Also If you see why the boot complains about my video mode, feel free to comment. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free 21:17:06 up 23 min, 2 users, load average: 0.34, 0.59, 0.57 Linux 2.6.14-gentoo-r42.6.14-r-4_new i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The question > is: > How to I get udev to start at boot? Udevstart doesn't actually start udevd...it just rescans the devices and recreates device nodes. The actual udev daemon is started by /sbin/rc, possibly via /lib/rc-scripts/add-ons/udev-start.sh depending upon your version of baselayout. Having RC_DEVICES=udev or auto should be sufficient to start udevd on startup. Setting dev=udev in grub.conf is not necessary, and probably won't change anything.

Re: [gentoo-user] Removing Specific Kernel Sources
just 'rm -rf'ing the source dirs gets rid of the files, true, but not formally unmerging packages desynchronizes the package management system, which will think you still have the older versions installed. In practice, I don't think it causes any real problems (maybe it will make emerge(1) take a little longer when calculating dependencies...), but it will allow cruft to build in your system, and with it, possible troubleshooting difficulties. --myk Samir Faci wrote: is there an advantage to doing that as opposed to rm -fr /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-r10 (or whatever the dir is called)?

Except the next time you want to "emerge -Duv world", it will want to
downgrade. Assuming you don't want a full ~x86 version, do:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p kde-meta
This will give a list of all packages to add to
/etc/portage/package.keywords. You can even automate this with:
for x in `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -p kde-meta | awk '{ print $4
}' | grep "/"`
do
echo "$x ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Hi all, You'll probably think this is dumb, but what can I say? I'm a bit anal is some respects! :-) Today, I updated my desktop system and recompiled a new kernel. Afterwards I re-emerged alsa-driver and ati-drivers. The update solved an issue with not being able to turn off or reboot the computer when I selected either from the menu on KDE logout. Everything is working fine once KDE is launched. When I recompiled the kernel, I decided to trim it down some. I use genkernel and mostly have left all the defaults in there except for the pertinent parts for the alsa-driver and ati-drivers as outlined in the associated Gentoo Guides. However, since this is a desktop machine, I figured it was safe to remove stuff associated with laptops, so that's what I did. Anyway, the problem is not that things aren't working. It's that something is happening differently and it's driving me nuts. Up until now, when the computer boots and goes through its startup routine, the screen will "blip" and then the text that is scrolling by on the screen prior to starting the gui interface, reduces in size. Now, the screen still does a slight "blip", but the screen font remains the same size as it was prior to the "blip". I have no idea how to fix this behaviour. If someone knows and can provide direction, I would appreciate it. Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hmm, /dev/dsp is only necessary for legacy OSS support...it should not be necessary with KDE, which _should_ be able to use the ALSA interface. Do you have the alsa USE flag set? What are the permissions that it is being created with? (Do "ls -l /dev/dsp" from a console after startup without logging into KDE). > > Are you using a device tarball (RC_DEVICE_TARBALL in /etc/conf.d/rc)? > > Yes. I would suggest turning TARBALL off. It is almost certainly not needed today. One possibility is that the device is comfing from the tarball, but not being recreated by udev for some reason. You can check this with: tar -tjvf /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2 Also, what messages do you get on bootup between "Starting udevd" and "Mounting /dev/pts..." Do you CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y or =m in your kernel configuration? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The 'blip' is usually when the framebuffer graphics driver turns on and changes the video mode. Since you are not seeing any difference, either the framebuffer driver is failing, or you are now using just the plain vga driver instead of something more advanced (like vesafb-tng). Take a look at what you have under "Device Drivers->Graphics Support", the answer is probably in there. Note that later in startup it is possible for the font size to change, without a 'blip', when the consolefont service runs. This is configured by /etc/conf.d/consolefont. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] portage broken?
I was running update world and after portage was updated to 2.1_pre1 look what
etc-update did to me. I dont have detailed build log, at least emerge.log
shows nothing suspicious. good there is portage-rescue. Should I file bug?
Yes, sometimes must pay for running ~amd64.
