Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Problems with dbus
I had the same issue with my Gnome install after a world/dbus update. I found the following fix on Gentoo Forums...his complete message and fix is listed below...thanks to tSp. This fixed my system without having to rebuild my Gnome. I ran into a problem after an emerge upgrade to system and world that has been driving me crazy for a few days. The error was related to *libdbus*- 1.so.2 and practically every gnome package depended on it. Just wanted to share this fix so others don't go through what I did (by the way, this is a sabayon install and not gentoo but figured since dbus and *libdbus* came from the gentoo repo that it would be same error for both distros). Running revdep-rebuild was listing almost all gnome packages linked against *libdbus*-1.so.2 and they would all fail during emerge with the same error, missing. I tried many different things to fix it - you can read all about it mess here - http://www.maysville-linux-users-group.org/ftopicp-376.html but the final fix ended up being this (so simple, yet overlooked for so long): cd /usr/lib ln -s *libdbus*-1.so.3.2.0 *libdbus*-1.so.2 cd /root rm -rf .revdep* revdep-rebuild Douglas On 1/25/07, Bo Ørsted Andresen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Reordered for readability...

I expect the revdep-rebuild people have suggested will solve your trouble with gnome-session. revdep-rebuild was run immediately after but gnome-session failed to link with any other version of dbus. I even removed gnome-session and manually checked for loose copies on the system but found nothing. I reinstalled it and it still wasn't happy. My best guess is that revdep-rebuild tried to recompile broken packages in the wrong order. I.e. something else needed to be recompiled before gnome-session. If you upgrade again, make sure dbus-glib is installed and show us the output of `revdep-rebuild -i -vp` we may even be able to tell you which...

Portage has no idea in the future that cairo was emerged with X functionality enabled, and it causes vast amounts of problems. Please do not advise such a stupid broken solution to someone who is so obviously a Gentoo beginner. Fabricio, the way to solve your problem is to tell the Gentoo package system (portage) to compile cairo with support for X. There are two ways: a) Tell portage to put X into your USE flags. The gentoo install docs describe this in detail so I won't repeat it here, except to say that you include the phrase X in the USE statement in /etc/make.conf b) You can enable this flag just for the cairo package by adding this line to the end of /etc/portage/package.use: x11-libs/cairo X Next time your emerge cairo, it will include X support for cairo and this problem will go away. Obviously there is a whole lot to know about this, so you really really really need to go and read the Gentoo install docs and understand them all. You need to do it right now, OK? alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The shorewall maintainer Tom Eastep helped me with a quick answer. It has nothing to do with shorewall so there is no file of shorewall causing this troubles. When i set up internet connection with pppoe-setup i have activated the FIREWALL=STANDALONE setting in /etc/pppoe.conf. This loads a iptables rule set which overwrites my custom iptables, this may have also caused my problems with shorewall. Nevertheless thank you all for trying to help me so much.

The idea of that tar ssh nonsense makes my head hurt especially if it's getting interrupted often. rsync has the ability to walk the filesystem and then only transfer the things that are missing in incomplete. I'd use some variation on this command line rsync -avz -e ssh -c blowfish /src [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dst/ The Blowfish encryption requires the least CPU in my experience and that may make things faster. You can also buy a standard IDE to laptop harddrive converter cable for under $10. Plug you laptop hard drive into your desktop, start you desktop, mount the laptop drive, and rsync away between your disk. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

My only qualms with that camera is it has a very high grain, dead pixels ( yes. .. dead pixels.. ) and it behaves poorly in bad lighting, and whites out in sunlight, and has limited colour control. ( and it makes everything yellow ). So for your digicam solution, I would not reccomend that unless you dont mind something cheap and nasty. IF you want to record from any linux capable video camera/digicam, mencoder and transcode should both be able to record from it as a V4L device. :) -- Kent -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I really appreciate all the advice. I have about 11 of 12 GBs copied from the laptop to the desktop system now via the tar|ssh method so I guess I'll let that complete.

[gentoo-user] RTC drivers
I've recently reinstalled my laptop and been taking another hard look at various kernel options. I am a little bit confused about the rtc drivers, and the use of the rtc in general. I can see that I have an rtc device, it exists in both /dev and /proc and it seems to be giving sane values any way I look at it. But I dont actually have any specific driver built for it. I built all the various drivers as modules and loading them appears to make no difference to the operation or values in /proc/drivers/rtc. Is it possible that the device just works as it should without any driver? Can anyone suggest some tests to examine the operation of the rtc? Aside from midi what would practical uses for the rtc even be? - Noven -- -- Novensiles divi Flamen -- Miles Militis Fons -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
