Aha!  See there's a problem with your /etc/portage/package.keywords.

  localhost ~ # cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
  net-im/pidgin-2.0.2 ~x86

Oh, that first part is an invalid atom.  The proper systax for atoms is in 
the ebuild manpage, IIRC.  In any case, your problem is that you've 
specified a version, without a comparator.

You probably want '~net-im/pidgin-2.0.2' instead of 
just 'net-im/pidgin-2.0.2'.  The tilde indicates that version, or any 
ebuild revisions (e.g. -r1) or the same version.  You could use '=' 
instead of tilde, if you really don't want any other ebuild revisions.

 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86  emerge pidgin

Um, no.  Not unless the OP wants ~x86 dependencies to be brought in, and 
all that downgraded to x86 when they do their next emerge world.

Remove the one you just added by doing:
localhost ~ # flagedit net-im/pidgin-2.0.2 -- %~x86


The command that you should've run was:

localhost ~ # flagedit =net-im/pidgin-2.0.2 -- +~x86

or

localhost ~ # flagedit net-im/pidgin -- +~x86


Note the '=' when you specify an exact or part of a version number.
  eg. =net-im/pidgin-2*
  =net-im/pidgin-2.0.2


I hope this helps.

[gentoo-user] Winbind...

2007-07-27 Thread Anders Trobäck
Hi,

new to this list and Gentoo, keep that in mind:-)

I'm trying to set up winbind on a Gentoo box but I can't get it to work!

I have joined the domain and I have added winbind
to /etc/nsswitch.conf.  wbinfo -u and  wbinfo -g are working but
getent passwd and getent group only list the local accounts and
groups!

I have not done anything with my PAM files yet but I think this

Any ideas out there?

[gentoo-user] Asterisk, ISDN, beginners question

2007-07-27 Thread Bertram Scharpf
Hi,

as there seem to be technical problems at the Asterisk list
server I may ask here.

I successfully listen to `demo-congrats' with Xlite. Now I
want to hear it by calling the ISDN card.

I configured Asterisk for Capi/ISDN as described in the
common tutorials. In `extensions.conf' I added the lines

  [capi-in]
  exten = 9876543,1,Goto(demo,1000,1)

where 9876543 is my MSN without the area prefix. This
context won't even be found because when I rename it the
debug output doesn't change at all. The log says:

  == ISDN1#02: CAPI Hangingup for PLCI=0x101 in state 4

How can I find out to which context Asterisk tries to relay
to respectively why the context I specify is completely
ignored?

Thanks in advance,

Bertram

Windows domain for 18 months. Users are added on the Windows 2003  
server  can then get their mail from the mailserver running on the

box after adding a user on the Windows server, but I can assure you  
that Dave has been getting his mail quite happily ever since the  
system was set up.


My advice is to move on to the next step (PAM)  see what happens. I  
have always worked off the Testing Things Out section of Chapter 24  
of the Samba manual, Winbind: Use of Domain Accounts http:// 
www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html and

While we're on the subject...

I'd like to the free software user community.  Free software would be
meaningless without you.  I especially appreciate the users who have

  * Used free software.
  * Submitted bug reports, ideas, corrections, artwork,
documentation, translations, etc.
  * Helped your fellow user and guided new users
  * Provided free marketing for free software (i.e. spread the
word)
  * Challenged free software to do better
  * Assured free software developers that they were not doing it for
naught

And remember: every free software developer is also a free software
user.  Thank you all for making the free software community the
strongest, most dynamic and exciting virtual community to be a part
of.

But seriously, shouldn't we be waiting until November to say this? ;-)

[gentoo-user] Running Scripts

2007-07-27 Thread Greg Lindstrom
Hello-

I am programming Python (2.4.1) scripts to run on our Gentoo boxes and am
having a bit of trouble I was hoping you could help me with.  My file,
hello.py looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/python
print 'hello, python'

I add execute permission to the file and try to run it as follows:

myprompt $ ./hello.py

and get

-bash: ./hello.py: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Permission denied

running /usr/bin/python brings up the python shell, so that's in place.

What am I missing to run these files (they run fine with I type in 'python'
before the filename).  BTW, I have the same issue running Perl scripts which
is why I'm asking the question here.

So the symlink from /usr/bin/python to the real binary is correct and the real 
binary has the right permissions.

If your line starting with #!/ weren't the first line in your script, you 
would get a different error message. Same if the # weren't the first 
character in that line.

This leads to the question whether you can start *any* executable from your 
home directory (assuming you stored your script somewhere under your home

 endings instead of LF only?

 If od -t x2 hello.py shows 0a0d sequences, this is the case. You could
 use dos2unix to convert.


$ od -t x2 hello.py
000 2123 752f 7273 622f 6e69 652f 766e 7020

Nope.  That looks good.

[gentoo-user] ntpd clock adjusting

2007-07-27 Thread Aleksey V. Kunitskiy
Hi,

I've just deployed my home server, of course using Gentoo :)
I setup openntpd there and /var/log/messages says to me that every few minutes 
clock is adjusted by ~100s. Is it a bug or I've missed smth?
chipset: nForce2
And, btw, what is also strange - ntpd use different time in different log 
message types. Actual local time was 22h (GMT+3). System clock is UTC
(note: I've terminated several times ntpd - I've changed servers, I hoped it 
help, but...)

thanks for any suggestion

You might need to pass a different model option during modprobe.

First check with 'aplay -l' to see precisely what chip you have, 
then put that number into the search box (lower left) on

Yes, it is OK. I've just found it on openbsd.org:
...Once your clock is accurately set, ntpd will hold it at a high degree of 
accuracy, however, if your clock is more than a few minutes off, it is highly 
recommended that you bring it to close to accurate initially, as it may take 
days or weeks to bring a very-off clock to sync. You can do this using 
the -s option of ntpd(8) or any other way to accurately set your system 
clock.

[gentoo-user] Best virtual machine for my needs

2007-07-27 Thread Florian Philipp
Hi!

I need a way to use Napster or iTunes on Linux. (I don't like DRM but it's not 
my PC and not my decision)

I think my best bet would be a virtual machine with Windows 2000 (I can spare 
the licence). The PC is an older AMD64 without AMD-V. Therefore I need 
something that

a) is free or at least not expensive
b) works without AMD-V and Intel-V
c) works with Win2k
d) simulates a CD recorder for burning the music (or do you know a better way 
to get rid of DRM again?)

I hope my English was good enough to explain myself and you can help me.

Thanks in advance!

 --Joshua Doll

KVM needs Intel-V or AMD-V. Xen doesn't need it for Linux and BSD but needs it 
for Windows. 
Qemu and vmware might work but I just don't know if they can emulate a cd 
recorder and that's what I need to know. 

Wine does not work (iTunes doesn't start, Napster can't playback and is barely 
tested, Windows Media Player is tricky at best - everything according to 
appdb.winehq.org). Even if it would start, I don't think Wine supports the 
DRM framework of Win.

Re: [gentoo-user] Best virtual machine for my needs

2007-07-27 Thread Tim Allingham
I run a few virtual machines using qemu, which can be run without
hardware virtualisation support. One of the things it will happily do is
mount a physical CD drive, so you may be able to burn the music off in
this manner (using the -cdrom switch with /dev/dvdrw gives me a DVD
burner through the windows interface though I haven't actually tried
burning anything yet).

   need something that
  
   a) is free or at least not expensive
   b) works without AMD-V and Intel-V
   c) works with Win2k
   d) simulates a CD recorder for burning the music (or do you know a
   better way to get rid of DRM again?)
  
   I hope my English was good enough to explain myself and you can help me.
  
   Thanks in advance!

   The only thing I can think of is wine (an emulator), which is in the
   portage tree:
  
   emerge -va wine
  
   After that, there is a very good site for using wine with several
   programs: http://frankscorner.org/
  
   I know nothing on how to avoid all that DRM fiasco.
  
   HTH
  
   - AR
 
  There's vmare, kvm, qemu?, and xen that I can think of right off the top
  of my head. Wine might work but I wouldn't bet on it.
 
 
  --Joshua Doll
 
 KVM needs Intel-V or AMD-V. Xen doesn't need it for Linux and BSD but needs 
 it 
 for Windows. 
 Qemu and vmware might work but I just don't know if they can emulate a cd 
 recorder and that's what I need to know. 
 
 Wine does not work (iTunes doesn't start, Napster can't playback and is 
 barely 
 tested, Windows Media Player is tricky at best - everything according to 
 appdb.winehq.org). Even if it would start, I don't think Wine supports the 
 DRM framework of Win.

 The command that you should've run was:

 localhost ~ # flagedit =net-im/pidgin-2.0.2 -- +~x86

That the wiki doesn't mention to include the equals sign is frustrating.

 or

 localhost ~ # flagedit net-im/pidgin -- +~x86

Didn't I do that?  For some things, the equals sign doesn't seem to be
required when using flagedit, for others it seems to be.

Anyhow, got it working :)

 well, it is true, that there are problems with paperworks.

 maybe. But I can't see why we users should be concerned. It does not matter

Yes, because it is expecting an ebuild atom. Do
man 5 ebuild
and read the section on 'DEPEND Atoms', they have a simple but precise 
syntax.

BTW, if the wiki is broken, just fix it.  I'm not sure it's an official 
source of documentation anyway.

It's bad news, but not as bad as you think.

 Some clarification might be in order.

The foundation serves an a single legal entity that can do and own things 
on behalf of Gentoo.  However, before the foundation things were done and 
owned by the volunteers that make up Gentoo.  This is not ideal, which is 
why the foundation was created, but Gentoo could certainly run like that 
again until the foundation could be reformed under management that knows 
how to file paperwork.

Just to check, I sent another subscription request, only to receive a
