It is in portage by now, hardmasked like 4.0.0. It depends on libspectre which, in turn, depends on a newer ghostscript. That dependency is missing. So manually emerge ghostscript-8.61 and everything should be fine. If you have to switch from ghostscript-esp to ghostscript-gpl, you probably need to run revdep-rebuild.

Re: [gentoo-user] resize raid1 array
Hi Rasmus, you will first need to resize your md device. Using mdadm, that would be done with --grow (check the man, `mdadm /dev/md123 --grow --size=500G` should do the trick). But that will leave your filesystem intact at the current size, so you'll have to resize the filesystem next. I know ext2&3 support "growing" but I don't know about other filesystems. However, since it's a simple raid one, you could create a new raid device with one drive, format it at 500G, copy the stuff over from the old raid1, drop the old raid1 device and add it to the new one.

Yes, thats true. But since this is my root, var, home, etc etc that would require me to go to single-user mode for the duration of the copy.

Just do
touch ${PORTDIR_OVERLAY}/manifest1_obsolete
after that, ebuild digest and ebuild manifest will both only create a

Basic web browsers do not have the javascript, Java (and soon enough flash?) functionality that the majority of banking sites require. Wouldn't Knoppix with its Firefox and equivalents do the job for you, after you set root and knoppix passwds? BTW, Konqueror will also work with many banking sites, but you may need to change the browser agent identification, treatment of cookies and so on.

[gentoo-user] USB Mouse
I have a USB mouse which likes to freeze up every now and then. Whenever I don't use my box for a little while (not necessarily long enough for the screen saver to kick in) and then touch the mouse, it will freeze right away or within a few seconds. Leaving X and starting X again doesn't fix the problem: I have to actually reboot. The only "solution" I have found is to make sure I use the keyboard to "wake up" the system. If I touch a key and wait a few seconds (that's important; if I use the mouse too fast it may still freeze up), I can safely use the mouse again without any trouble. So it looks like the USB mouse is going to sleep after a short period of inactivity and then refuses to wake up ... unless I use the keyboard first. There's a "USB selective suspend/resume and wakeup" in the kernel which I have made sure to deselect but that doesn't fix the problem. Does anyone else have this problem? Can anyone explain to me why this is happening? Does anyone know of a real solution? P.S. I have been running with the sys-kernel/mm-sources kernel which seems to behave much better but it's not officially supported so I went back to the regular sys-kernel/gentoo-sources kernel. I notice it's improved since the last time I tried it (i.e. the mouse doesn't freeze up as often anymore). -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] resize raid1 array
Getting OT but... Something I like with Raid1 is when I want to upgrade, update or modify in any way the installation. I simply degrade the array right before the modif so that I work on only one device (say sda1) and the other (say sdb1) become the pre-modif backup. The the modification is done at the normal speed of a single drive, not hammed by the slow writes of the raid1, once done and tested I can re-add sdb1 and sync. Or if there is any complication during the modif, you get the great warm feeling of having a perfect backup in sdb1. =) Simon On Feb 7, 2008 7:31 AM, Rasmus Andersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Feb 07, 2008 at 06:50:57AM -0500, Simon Turner wrote: > > Hi Rasmus, > > you will first need to resize your md device.

[gentoo-user] OT Florida Linux Show 2008 call for help
Last minute notice and call for help. The Florida Linux Show being held February 11th, 2008, this coming Monday at University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. In UNF's University Center complex. http://www.floridalinuxshow.com/ Due to other events this month, and a shortage of Gentoo devs in the South Eastern United States. Combined with those near the region having other obligations and not able to travel to the event. Presently have a booth staffing shortage. I will be there, as I initiated the process and reserved the booth. But Gentoo did pay for it. Gentoo will have a presence there, and I will do my best to put on a strong and professional appearance for Gentoo at the show. However I could use some help. Since no developers other than myself are able to make it to the show. I figured I would extend the call for help to anyone running or using Gentoo. That is also a Gentoo evangelist, and is willing to help man the booth. Answer questions, etc. Must be knowledgeable wrt to Gentoo. Really would appreciate it. I considered getting a booth for my own company and staffing that. But for the area and for Gentoo. I decided it would be best for Gentoo to be there, verses my own company. Although without some support. Really would feel more comfortable representing my company by myself, rather than Gentoo. Damn hind site :) Mostly because I don't think many realize what's going on in this area business wise. Much less with regard to Linux. Best way I can express that is using RedHat as an example. RedHat does NOT attend Linux World Expo anymore, no 06 or 07. RedHat also has their very own, and very large JBoss world next week in Orlando. Days after the Florida Linux Show. However despite that, RedHat will have a STRONG presence at the Florida Linux Show. That is for a reason, and did not happen on accident. Or because there was no market here. FYI Forbes[1] ranks Jacksonville 3[2], and Orlando 4[3]. Jacksonville uniquely not effect as much by mortgage industry problems. If interested in helping, please contact me OFF LIST. I will be un-subscribing to some like gentoo-user, so won't see replies there. But do welcome all the help I can get, if any. Much appreciation in advance, and no worries for all those that want to come, but can't. :) 1. http://www.forbes.com/2007/02/15/best-cities-jobs-leadership-careers_cx_hc_0216cityjobs.html 2. http://www.forbes.com/home/2007/02/15/best-cities-jobs-leadership-careers_cx_hc_0216cityjobs_slide_4.html 3. http://www.forbes.com/home/2007/02/15/best-cities-jobs-leadership-careers_cx_hc_0216cityjobs_slide_5.html -- William L.

Steve wrote: In the context of online banking, where Windows of some flavour is the desktop OS, I see a substantial risk arising through spyware and/or viruses. I suspect that a neat way to mitigate this would be to run an OS from a CD which offers nothing more fancy than a basic web-browser. Is there anything like this already available? My preference is using a safe browser (Opera with plugins removed) on a QEMU/Hardened Gentoo VM - on a USB flash stick. It presents the user with a window in which the Linux OS boots up and in my case, presents a Fluxbox desktop. - The VM (actually, a qemu emulator in "virtual" mode) will start up without privilege - say, while on the road at a public library. - At the end of the session, there are no relics that I can find, except for a single, minor note in the windows registry. - The SSL connection is established within the Linux VM, so all the host sees is an encrypted connection to your bank. - IIUC, today's biggest banking concerns, besides pharming and phishing, are Trojan/Keyloggers. This kind of VM is -probably- immune from most kinds of spyware on the Windows host, though not hardware loggers on the keyboard or Terminal. Workaround is to have passwords handled automatically by the browser within the Linux OS - so that passwords are neither typed nor displayed. - Other banking concerns are pharming, DNS poisoning, and XSS attacks. So I go to my banking site with FireFox first, confirm that the DNS is correct (or do your own lookup at Sam Spade), and have NoScript confirm that everything is o.k. Then use Opera (safer browser) to consummate the transaction. - If you go this route, do a little research and get a fast and quick USB flash. HTH -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hello, It seems that my portage or python installation or the combination thereof has become borked. Whenever I run a portage-related program (emerge, eclean, portageq, etc) I get segfaults. Due to these being scripts, gdb is not of much help... I am able to start python normally and get it to add numbers so python is not completely hosed. But I lack another python program of substance to test whats wrong. The last thing I emerged successfully was iptables and it seems unlikely that they had an influence on python/portage. ... Thinking again I have rdiff-backup around. Testing that shows a small backup to go ok and a largish backup to fail with sigsegv. The box as such is busy enough, memorywise, and survives parallel kernel compiles and untars fine. So, I guess I have two questions: One, do anyone have a reasonable opinion of what is wrong? Failing that, two: How do I reestablish python and/or portage with the least pain? I have both in my PKGDIR, can I 'just' untar them on top of the existing installation?

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Mixer filesystem
* Iain Buchanan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > interesting, yes, but what's the point? (not saying it's useless, just > that I missed something). What would I use it for? For a better understanding I'd suggest a bit research on Plan9 ;-P In Plan9 everything runs through filesystems (even more than on *nix). Instead of large applications and dozens of frameworks we have fileservers for many things, even the windowing system is accessed via the filessystem. So filesystem trees (accessed via the 9P protocol) are the universal IPC. This makes the whole thing completely network transparent and platform agnostic. The MixerFS is one of the puzzle pieces. It provides an easy to use interface for applications which want to control mixers. So (once the apps have been ported ;-P) there's no more dependency to any platform specific stuff and the whole thing is immediately network transparent. One of the next steps is an audio io filesystem, which replaces things like esd or jack. I'm also currently moving out several things from mozilla to their own fileservers. cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

You should not try to link KDE 4.0.1 against Qt 4.4 but 4.3.
