Hi,

If 'hal' is a required dependency emerge will require to install it
before the app in question.
If correctly written the start-up scripts will check/require 'hal' to be
running. Or at least post a message (elog) about it.

What if a package requires HAL, and not optionally? For example, I
know from experience that gnome-power-manager will not start without
hal running, but it doesn't have the hal use flag.

What if a package requires HAL, and not optionally? For example, I

Just FYI, I had the same problem. For inexplicable reasons, it disappeared 
when I configured the keyboard layout ONLY through xorg.conf, disabling all 
keyboard layout functionality in KDE Control Center. For some reason, 
CTRL+ALT+Fn only displayed the letter V when I pressed them in Konsole.

Thanks! Downgrading to version 0.8 fixed the alt key problem. I had
tried googling for the problem before asking here, but the results
were pretty much all noise, since it seems that many people have
miscellaneous problems related to the alt/meta keys.

Now all I have to worry about is the fonts =).

It's the later kernel that is triggering this bug, although it is a
fairly old one. FEATURES="-sandbox" works round the problem, but it's not
a fix.

Hi Helmut,

I don't have the latest kernel or gcc-4.2.2 but I get that error every time
I recompile nvidia-drivers.

Try running:
# FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge nvidia-drivers

That will bypass the sandbox which is what's causing you problems there.

[gentoo-user] gcc-4.2.2 + nvidia-driver = death ?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

having installed gcc-4.2.2 (and making it the default with the new
gcc-config - hurrah) I tried to (reinstall) 
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9639
for my new 2.6.23 kernel.
But it fails - see the attachment.
At the moment I cannot use a more recent version of the
nvidia-drivers since these don't support my old video card
anymore.
Has anybody had more success with more recent nvidia-drivers
and gcc-4.2.2 (and perhaps kernel 2.6.23) ?

Many thanks for any hint,

Helmut Jarausch

Hi,

$quse hal - gives you all packages with 'hal' flag support.
To check for all installed apps currently not using hal:
1.put hal in USE= (/etc/make.conf)

Apparently I need to remove one or more of those listed but having a

equery files pam  turns up nothing with those names
equery list|grep  shows no promising hits on pwdb, radius or timestamp

I did find a pwdb package but it shows no hits on those names either.

How might I track this down?  Or is the error really about something
else?

No, /dev/dsp is OSS stuff. Aplay shouldn't use that. But it makes me
wonder whether snd_pcm_oss is loaded?

Anyway, that shouldn't bother us here, that's not used by aplay. (BTW:
For me, aplay will play noise when trying to play an MP3, but at least
it *does* play something)

Do you by chance have some older /etc/asound.* files around? Did you
try re-running alsaconf?

If all this doesn't work, try running strace on the aplay process (call
"strace aplay") and post back some output. Also, the contents
of /proc/asound/cards and /proc/asound/devices might be interesting.

"But the most important thing is, that it keeps record of which 
configuration files you edited and auto-updates those that you haven't

often only prompt you for intervention where it is really necessary". 

Thus, it seems that my etc-update is behaving like dispatch-conf, 
updating some files (the missing six) without notice. This sound 
strange. Shouldn't etc-update automerge them together with the other

Yes, but it shows only two of them. Add the two it explicitly requires to 
update, and you still see that, of the initial 10, only four files are 
updated.

The

This is caused by the new xkeyboard-config. Downgrading should help. The
bug has been already filed through both Gentoo and freedesktop.org
bugzillas.

As far as i know unfortunately the Travelmate 5720 exists, together
with the entry level Aspire 5720... I've tried also the new version
and the load error appears at the same level.
I've mailed Carlos of acer-acpi, let's see what comes out.

Thanks again for your help,
i'll let you know about the improvement of this situation,

[gentoo-user] apache wont start when there is no network available

[Matthew R. Lee]

Yesterday I installed Apache2 Mysql 5 and php 5 along with tikiwiki 1.9.8 on 
my laptop (localhost).  The idea is to play with and learn how to use 
tikiwiki before I install it on my webhost and revamp my website.
Everything was working fine and is working fine here in the office where I 
have online access.  But when I got home last night with the intention of 
playing with tikiwiki I couldn't because apache wouldn't start.  I wouldn't 
start because net.eth1 couldn't connect to anything.  net.eth1 is my wireless 
connection, net.eth0 is my wired connection.  Neither will start at home 
because I don't have internet at home.
Question, why does apache2 need net.eth1 to be running? How can I get apache2 
going without a network connection? Surely everything it needs is on the 
laptop (localhost)
I've looked at the httpd.conf but I can't see anything relevant 
I'm clearly new to this apache stuff, any help would be appreciated

You can craft a similar service that just reports the querying IP. You
can e.g. do without the HTTP protocol and just setup a simple server,
e.g. using ucspi-tcp, which sets the TCPREMOTEIP environment variable.

Then you can just use netcat. Of course, for all this you'll need a
server on the net.

OTOH, you could just ask your gateway, if there are means to that (you
didn't tell us anything about it).

And what different methods of NAT are you talking about in this context?

Other similar services might exist.
Of course, do not abuse them.

[gentoo-user] Emerging java with gcj

[Florian Philipp]

Hi!

I've noticed that the gcj use flag is not enabled by default and 
therefore all java code is compiled to byte code instead of native 
binaries, am I correct?


I wonder how I can change that. Just re-emerge gcc with USE="gcj" and 
all packages containing java code? Is it even a good idea?

Re: [gentoo-laptop] Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with CPU temperature (Santa Rosa CPU)

[Marco Calviani]

Hi Beso,
   i have an Acer Aspire 5720. I've tried with the acer_acpi, it
compiles well but when it comes to loading it fails, saying
"No or unsupported WMI interface, unable to load".

However as far as i can understood, this module deals with issues of
buttons and hotkey not with ACPI issues.

Yes, my DSDT failed during recompiling, but i have managed to solve
the issues, and now it compiled well (with warning but i'm not
caring). I'll try to recompile the new DSDT in the kernel, maybe it
could help (but i'm not sure).

Regards,
m

Hi Beso,
   i've tried with your trip_points modification but it gives this error:

bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

like i'm not able to write on that file.

And of course acpitool gives me a random ACPI temperature:

  Battery #1 : charged
  AC adapter : on-line
  Thermal zone 1 : ok, 40 C

PS: i followed all your suggestions concerning the microcode and fan
option in the kernel.
Could this be a problem of DSDT?

As it says, you could be arrested. you may not be charged, but your
arrest would be on record. that wouldn't be so bad if someone had used
your network to download music, but what about kiddie porn, or visiting
al-Quaeda related web sites?

Once you get into that area, all pretense of presumption of innocence and
reasonable doubt goes out of the window. If you can't prove conclusively
that it wasn't you, you will end up on a watch list. Maybe you still end
up on it if you can prove it wasn't you.
