[gentoo-user] usb mp3 player can't be mounted

Here's mine. It uses strictly bash; no perl at all. The setup...
- following files sit in the ~/.docpointer/ directory
- docpointer (executable script)
- docpointer.css
- header
- footer
- from a console execute...
~/.docpointer/docpointer n
where "n" is an integer specifying the number of columns across you
want in the output. You *MUST* specify a number. I use between 1
and 3, depending on my mood. It only takes a couple of seconds on
an old 450 mhz PIII
- I point browser to file:///home/waltdnes/.docpointer/docpointer.html
and get a list of html docs. The pathname will obviously be
different om your system
The files are attached...

You may have reasons for doing it this way, but I keep it much simpler.
I boot to a raw login prompt, login there, then enter 'startx'.
I have a file ~/.xinitrc ('dbus-launch' is to enable Epiphany) :
xscreensaver &
dbus-launch startkde
If I want (rarely) to start Fluxbox, I have another file ~/.xinitrc-fb :
xscreensaver &
fluxbox
which I copy 'cp .xinitrc-fb .xinitrc' (keeping a copy of the KDE
version).
I don't use Kdm at all, thus avoiding the kind of problem you've run into
& which I too ran into a few years ago.
I recommend unmerging all your existing KDE material,
then remerging the latest 3.5.7 (which I've been using since 070610)
using whatever individual packages you need. Then keep it upto-date.
Absent a strong reason, I'll stick to stable X86, which seems to be 3.5.5.
Anyway, as noted above, the problem turned out to be that my first
--depclean got rid of kdebase-startkde. Re-emerging it got me going again.
Thanks, all, for your time and attention.

Maybe that's the problem. This looks odd. You haven't mixed monolithic and meta packages by any chance? I would probably remove the blockers and try to re-emerge the required meta packages, but you may want to wait for a smarter suggestion. I'm not sure what I did, it's so long ago. But I did try to follow directions to undo my monolithic setup using the Gentoo docs on the topic. I probably messed up, but that begs the question: why did it only show up now, a few years later. It's not as if I haven't rebooted in the meanwhile; I do it from time to time to update kernels. It may be that I'm not using metas, but just emerged things I needed, and let the dependencies do the rest. Hm. The dime just dropped, because I did my first depclean fairly recently, and dalek1967 just posted that kde-3.5 is part of kdebase-startdke on his system, and I don't have that package installed. It's just that I thought I rebooted after the depclean just to check things. (I had a fresh backup of the root partition at that point). ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD

The question is why do you need to remove a)grub, b)the /boot partition? Is your Windows recovery partition script expecting Windows to be the first partition on the disk and you have moved it since installation? Perhaps next time you'll use partimage with Gentoo to create a back up image of your Windows partition and so you will be able to restore it within 40 minutes or so, depending on the speed of your machine. -- Regards, Mick pgp0jjsuv460b.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] New kernel does not boot up on remote host
Hi ML, I need your help to find the right way. I am running a Linux sd-4421 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Sat Jun 16 19:27:48 CEST 2007 i686 VIA Esther processor 2000MHz CentaurHauls GNU/Linux remote box. This kernel was compiled on my own. It is good. But I need a xen box now. So I emerged the linux-2.6.16.49-xen sources and compiled them successfully (I made an oldconfig on the /proc/config.gz of the running 2.6.20). I followed the http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo doc for dom0-Xen specific kernel config. Well, now it is time to boot up the new dom0_2.6.18... grub.conf got the changes, fall-backing to previous kernel if required ... the matter is Grub falls back to previous 2.6.20 kernel. So I have no log at all about what went wrong during the dom0_2.6.18 boot. Any idea to know what went wrong ? Many thanks for your help, Gal' -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

please check if /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.5 exists.
If not: remeerge kdebase.
It was missing, but I can't emerge kdebase because there are about 20
packages that are blocking it. Maybe that's the problem.
Here's what I see when I try:
treat doclinks # emerge -a1 kdebase

That looks the most likely suspect. It's very recent (see bug 183887).
I have version 6 : try restoring that & see what happens
('emerge =kde-base/kdebase-pam-6').
You should also look in /etc/pam.d/ for further clues.
That did not help, but it reminded me of another fact I forgot to mention:
The first time I went to log in after rebooting, a dialog box told me that
my KDE 3.5 startup was old or invalid or something, and would be removed.
Indeed, kdm is NOT presenting me with an option to start a KDE session.
I'm not sure how to enable it.
What is still there:
/etc/rc.conf still contains the line "XSESSION=kde-3.5"
/etc/X11/Sessions no longer contained kde-3.5, but I made another based on
the leftover kde-3.4; I'm not sure this did anything, as the symptoms did

If so, how would one do that? See DOC_SYMLINKS_DIR in make.conf (man page I think, or .example) Thanks, I was able to track it down from that hint. For the record: Read about it in "man make.conf". The description there is quite sparse, and I haven't done any emerges since I set it, so I'm not sure exactly how it works. I think it just sets version-independent symlinks, and leaves it up to you whether to bookmark them. Unless there's more going on, I'm going to prefer my little script. It builds a web page with current links, organized by package. I run it in a cron job several times a week, so it's pretty much up-to-date.These are all listed unless they are linked from another index.html higher in the directory structure. This makes most of the entries pretty clean, with a few notable exceptions: boost, java, apache, drscheme, python-docs and mplayer among the packages I have. I'll probably tweak these when I get some time. For me the main advantage is in doing a quick check to see if a given package actually has any "index.html" files anywhere under /usr/share/doc. Just browsing to the index file can be a pain sometimes, and my patience is usually thinner than usual when I'm desperately seeking documentation.

I am looking for a distro to have one fun and learn. I second this sentiment. Since starting to use Gentoo in 2004, all other distros pale in comparison. Yes, there have been a couple of hurdles, but it was all learning. I view these, not as annoyances, but challenges. I love what I have learned about my system with Gentoo and there is *no* other distro that has a package management system that is better than portage, IMHO.

[gentoo-user] QT dir:
Hi gentooers.
I have some trouble with the QTDIR variable of my system.
When I emerge some package that requires QT 3 , the configure scripts
ends with this error:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (headers
and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
so I found the rigth directory and patch the enviroment with the next
command:
export QTDIR=/usr/qt/3
With this, everything works fine, but i think that a user with less
experience than me, will be fool this.

Gentoo does indeed need more users to become contributors, I have been a "Non-contributing" user for some time now, just promoting it when ever possible, I even got my company to switch many Windows workstations to Gentoo development stations, a few months ago my company offered to pay me to work full time on any free and open source project that might benifit them in the end, I jumped at the chance and applied to work in different areas of Gentoo (mostly C/CPP and Perl development areas), after many unanswered e-mails and one telling me to "be patient" I gave up and applied to work in the KDE project ( in two days I had my own SVN and started porting code to KDE4 ), I personally think Gentoo makes it hard to contribute in many areas, this might be why few Non-contributing users become contributing users. -- Guillermo Antonio Amaral Bastidas # Free & Open Source Software Advocate $ irc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] @ blog: http://blog.guillermoamaral.com/ @ site: http://www.guillermoamaral.com/ % gpg: http://downloads.guillermoamaral.com/public.asc signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

SpamAssassin won't 'stop' spam, that's not its job. All SA does is to analyse incoming email (assuming of course that you've set things up correctly so that incoming mail is passed through SA at some point - I'm afraid I don't know how to do this with qmail as I'm a postfix man myself) and sets some headers to say whether it thinks the mail is spam or not. Unless you do something with those headers, you won't see a reduction in spam. Personally, I'd suggest processing mail through procmail after SA and adding a rule to delete (or put in a separate folder) anything which SA marks as spam. There are hundreds of tutorials on this - Googling for 'qmail spamassassin procmail' should get you started. Paul -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Check the headers of your incoming emails, there should be some headers there set my SpamAssassin, such as X-Spam-Score. If those aren't present, SpamAssassin isn't processing your mail.

My personal feeling is that Gentoo has dropped off the radar a bit, and is no longer being talked about that much beyond its own community, which probably means that it won't see much growth. Ubuntu is the distribution everyone is talking about at the moment, and no doubt that will suffer the same fate in a year or so. > Is everyone still toeing that line? The Gentoo Weekly Newsletter > hasn't been published in almost two months. The problem with that, as far as I am aware, is a lack of volunteers, although I don't remember GWNs being absent for this long before.

I don't think Gentoo is starved for contributors, at least not judging by the number of developers listed on the website (I've no idea how many of those are active though). In terms of usability features, if you want a nice easy distro that does more or less everything for you, you go for Ubuntu (or perhaps Fedora 7), not Gentoo. They're not really aimed at the same type of user - even though I run both, it's for different purposes (Gentoo for development and breaking things, Ubuntu because sometimes I just want multimedia to work without having to mess around with USE flags and trying to track down which packages I should emerge to get the right codecs for a particular format). > Gentoo needs as many users as possible to reach its potential. It's a > short-sighted mistake to think that non-contributing users do Gentoo > no good. Non-contributing users become contributors as time passes. > Car mechanics all start as car drivers. To be fair, I think Gentoo has one of the better programmes for getting active users to become developers. There's plenty of documentation on the website, plus the developer manual, although I'd personally like to see a bit more emphasis on non-coding developers (e.g. website updates, press work etc.) for those people who want to get involved but don't like fiddling with bash scripts.

If you want something that should work on all linuxes in theory
without the need for changing the disk standard to something thats
potentially incompatible with a given system ( say for example for
some reason your target machine cant for some forsaken reason read
joliet enabled disks ) you may wish to look for the 'trans.tbl'
option, which to the best of my knowlege creates a file on the disk
explaining the real-full-length version of a shortened filename
without having to munge the disk standard. ( I think of it like a
meta-data-in-file-on-filesystem instead of
alter-filesystem-spec-to-handle-metadata option )
( Ok, its obsolete, but has saved my bacon once or twice )
