[gentoo-user] error after update

[gentoo-user] udev problems after rather major emerge update
Hello, I've got a couple of older Pundit-R machines that we use as MythTV frontend machines around the house. I was trying to get ready to do an update on MythTV so I started working on both machines. In the process I updated a lot of the basic system stuff on both machines but only got udev updated on one box before I noticed a problem on that machine. When booting it now scrolls a bunch of messages past very early on about devices having failed. udev shows up in the lines so I'm assuming it is a udev problem.

[gentoo-user] gpm (X11): touchpad OR usb-mouse?
Hi, I have following problem: with my notebook I am mostly using usb-mouse, but sometimes I'm too lazy to pull it out of bag (or I forget to take it), and in such a case I must use Synaptics Touchpad. Both of them work with gpm (in console), problem is that when mouse is attached, I can move cursor with both a mouse and touchpad. Is it possible to configure gpm so, that if usb-mouse is attached, then only mouse can be used as pointing device? And if no mouse is found, then (and only then) touchpad works? Problem is I do not know how to turn touchpad off. There is a button for it, but apparently it works only with windows-drivers... And btw, I would like to have similar "auto-switch" configuration for X11: Is it possible (without switching manually config files)? Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Gentoo USB CD-ROM 'root block device is unspecified'
Hey all. I have these big fatty Dell blade servers, and the only way I've found to install Gentoo on them is to use a USB CD-ROM drive, but when booting from the CD-ROM, I get: Determining root device...

Hi Rich, Sorry, lost my end of the thread. I checked that file: /usr/include/sys/mman.h:20:1: unterminated #ifndef If the error meant missing semi-colon, they all seem to be there.

You may try to use udev for that. It can call scripts when devices are plugged in and out or just present at boot (using coldplug for older udev versions). You can let the script switch configuration files and send gpm a signal that lets it read its configuration again. The key is that you should not use "/dev/input/mice" as the device but have two separate gpm configurations with "/dev/input/mouseN" (you can also use udev to give more persistent names).

[gentoo-user] everything is showed hard-masked with equery[was nvidia-kernel]
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I started a new thread, because my problem got a new aspect. My original problem was that testing (~) nvidia-kernel packages were showed as hardmasked (M~) in equery. Now I realized, that all testing ebuilds is showed as hardmasked. I did a try with baselayout, because I know, that I've never masked, or unmasked it. I looked at packages.gentoo.org, 1.12.0_pre17-r1 is testing. #emerge -pv baselayout Emerge wants to reemerge my 1.11.14-r7. It is good. #ACCEPTED_KEYWORD="~x86" emerge -pv baselayout Emerge wants to update to 1.12.0_pre17-r1. It is good. Just equery shows M~. I tried gentoolkit-0.2.1 and gentoolkit-0.2.2_pre3. I looked baselayout-vserver, because it has hardmasked version according to packages.gentoo.org. Emerge handles it well, equery shows the same M~ as for any testing package. What can be the problem?

I have wanted to do this for aaages, but I always thought it was impossible - until I noticed I have: /dev/input/mice /dev/input/mouse0 /dev/input/mouse1 /dev/input/mouse2 If I `cat /dev/input/mice` I get output when I move either my stick (yeuch), touchpad, or usb mouse. However, mouse0 only gives output for the stick, mouse1 for the touchpad, and mouse2 for the usb mouse. Perhaps this is the answer - you might need to change MOUSEDEV in /etc/conf.d/gpm depending on what you have plugged in. For X, you would have to change Option "Device" from "/dev/input/mice" to a specific /dev/input/mouseX. I don't know how to do this automatically, nor how to make X use a different mouse without restarting...

[gentoo-user] KDE Very Slow - Failed Sleep Command
Hello, This happened once before in Kubuntu, though this time I was more alert and know what I did right before this happened. So what did transpire? I sent my laptop into sleep mode via the popup menu on the battery monitor in KDE. It did this, however, when the machine came out of sleep mode, there was no monitor. It wasn't on. I tried my basic set of tricks: try and change the screen brightness; try and switch monitors via the key combo on the laptop; close the lid and re-open it; press the key combo to turn the monitor off; press the key combo to go back to sleep mode (didn't work). Eventually I picked a button that did work: POWER. The system shut down normally! After X11 died, it went back the the framebuffer and acted like nothing had happened. However, right after this, KDE has been acting *really* slow. Much slower than it should. # top revealed that artsd, xorg, and kded were eating cpu time. This is the same behaviour as on Kubuntu before. I suspect the cause was the same, however, I don't remember exactly so I won't point fingers. Do any of you know what this is? Do you think if I recompiled xorg, kde, and arts if it'd fix the problem? Or, even better, is there a way to axe all the configuration settings and see if that fixes the problem? Please help, I think it's affecting Gnome as well (scary!) Thanks for any input you can give! -- == GCv3.12 == GCS d-(++) s+: a? C++ UL+> P+ L++ E--- W+(+++) N++ o? K? w--- O? M+ V?
