[gentoo-user] Tomcat 5.5.26 issue
Hi everyone, I'm having a strange issue with the latest stable version of Tomcat. I updated from 5.5.25-r1 to 5.5.26 and suddenly some files (XML files in this case) seemed unreachable for Tomcat. I run into this when I got several SAXParser errors, apparently because it couldn't create an InputStream for the file. When I switched back to 5.5.25-r1 the error stopped appearing. Anyone else has experienced it? Abraham Marín -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] portage confusion
Are you using kde-4.0.x or why do you have kde-3.5.7. Tried to update to kde-4.0.x near the end of January. This was after almost two years of not updating anything. This led to a emerge -uD world which took about a week over my string-and-can modem. Many, many failure to build errors kept me returning to the list for advice. See ,for instance, emerge -uD world: another obstacle in the archive. It was like crawling through the desert pursuing a mirage. I was unmerging here remerging there. Maybe that's when qca-2.0.0-r2 slipped into my system. I never completely understood why kde-4 couldn't be emerged. I ran update-eix and eix-sync. Even now when I do emerge -u kde it just points to 3.5.8. app-crypt/qca-2.0.0-r2 unmasked? You can add =app-crypt/qca-1.0-r3 ~whateverarchyouhave to /etc/portage.keyords and try again emerge -avuND world. Ok, that worked. Thanks. So if you didn't manage to install kde-4.0.x, you should revert your settings in /etc/portage/package.* and/or /etc/make.conf For instance you should have app-crypt/qca-2.0.0-r2 in /etc/portage/package.unmask which is not necessary if don't have kde-4. And then you don't need app-crypt/qca-1.0-r3 in /etc/portage/package.keywords either. I don't want to be offensive, but I strongly recommend you to do some cleanup! I also recommend to learn how to use portage (man portage, man ebuild, man emerge, and so on), how to manage /etc/package/package.*, revdep-rebuild and what emerge --depclean is doing! Learn how to handle blockers, to unmerge a specific version of a package if it is slotted and not needed anymore, or you will get in such troubles all the time! I would also recommend everybody to use udept which in my opinion is far superior to all other portage tools (depclean, eix-test-obsolete equery, and so on), or replaces many of them by one single tool. I use it for cleanup and other stuff, but it has some problems currently with USE_DEFAULTS and SLOT_DEPENDENCIES so it does not work correctly and its output has to be interpreted in the right way. There is also a bug open where an updated ebuild exists which solves other problems the current version has. I hope this problems go away and the maintainer of udept finds the time to work on it again, it would be a great loss if not! Btw, it is no problem to install kde-4 in parallel to kde-3! It is just a bit tricky and you should have some experience of how gentoo works. I would also not unmask a kde version which is currently masked and do a world update in parallel when i had not updated my system for about two years. It is expected that many problems occur if doing so because there are enough problems anyway after such a long time not having done update world! Portage wants to install kde-3.5.8 because it is now stable, thus normal! Kde-3.5.7 is not in the tree anymore, as far as i know. I am no kde user but i figured this all out by just reading this list and a bit research! Update-eix has in most cases nothing to do with upgrade problems. It is just a database listing your portage-tree. The only problem when not doing update-eix is that you may reason the wrong things because the database is out of date and you rely on the output of eix which is wrong!

Re: [gentoo-user] Set a property on a file and have it remove when the file is modified?
Daniel Iliev skrev: Actually, if there are no other concerns, you'd have to keep only one file for reference. Then you could compare the modification times of all other files with this reference file. Good idea! I implemented it and it reduced the number of cache files/directories in the tree from 633 to 26. The only drawback is that if the script is interrupted whilst checking a sequence of files with equal mtime, it will have to start over with that sequence the next time it is executed. (Files often get the same mtime if they are edited in an IDE and then all saved when executing the build command.) But reducing the number of cache files is worth that minor inconvenience.

If you mean Internet Explorer then I have no idea whether it can be viewed in the browser itself, but the file can surely be downloaded. Been working with xcircuit. It saves in PS but can be made into a jpeg which looked just as sharp as the original. If you zoom into that jpeg fat enough you will see pixillation. I don't think this will be the case with the postscript file, which is indeed a vector (or vectorish?) format. You're better off converting the PS file to PDF - PDF is fairly postscript-based, so this is an easy conversion, and PDF supports vector-based drawings (as well as bitmaps). If you zoom in on a curve on the PDF using Acrobat (or whatever) you should find that you never see pixillation at all - this is the joy of vectors. Admittedly this is a fairly moot point with a small schematic, but I would imagine it would be considered far more elegant for much larger ones or (particularly) for PCB layouts.

Literally, the word tema (pl. temas) would mean subject, theme, topic, matter. The degree of problematic-ness intended by whoever wrote temas can't of course be deduced, but only guessed. In my interpretation, I took todos los temas relacionados con soporte técnico as meaning anything related to technical support, so issue seemed an acceptable translation (where issues include problems as well, of course). Also, I've seen many times if you have issues, call 123456-789. In my understanding, no doubt I'll call that technical support number if I have issues, faults or problems (however serious they may be).

It is choosing the external gateway based on the destination port of the outbound packet. That's obviously only make sense if it's also doing NAT. My application is not routing for any other machines/networks. It's just a desktop machine belonging to an end-user. It has two gateways to the Internet (each of those gateways is doing NAT).

It changes EVERYTHING!! Issue is word to describe an individual periodical in a series of publications, and is a weasel-word when it's used as a synonym for problem. Ok. Literally, the word tema (pl. temas) would mean subject, theme, topic, matter. The degree of problematic-ness intended by whoever wrote temas can't of course be deduced, but only guessed. In my interpretation, I took todos los temas relacionados con soporte técnico as meaning anything related to technical support, so issue seemed an acceptable translation (where issues include problems as well, of course). Hi Etaoin, I didn't mean to be picky about your translation, so my apologies for that. And thank you to Uwe for pointing that out - I didn't intend to be taken that way, I just wanted to have a little rant about one of my (least) favourite words. However you can also say in English all matters relating to technical support. Clearly if your computer isn't booting it's a PROBLEM, not merely an issue, so we can tell that the author of the email is engaged in the sort of environment where weasel-words are employed. I have dealt with such technical support departments in the past - I knew of one at which the management insisted that staff were not allowed to describe a dead PC as a problem because that sounds too downbeat. Such scenarios were to be passed off to the customer as merely an issue (however seriously we're addressing your issue, sir), rather than the disaster it actually was. /pet peeve Agreed. I know that kind of environment. So, are you saying that issue means nuisance or minor problem rather than real problem, and using the word to mean problem is incorrect? Or you just hate it when they say issue when they really should say disaster (in this case, I totally agree with you)? Issue kinda doesn't mean any of these things - neither nuisance nor minor problem nor real problem. It's a way of _avoiding_ saying any of these things at all. The dictionary I have on this computer is the New Oxford American one, and it basically says: issue, noun 1 an important topic for debate or discussion : the issue of global warming | money is not an issue This dictionary goes on to observe the he has issues usage, but really this is just the same (fairly recent) euphemism. The best way (IMO) to perceive the word issue is the global warming one or the couple who are going to marriage counselling because they have issues (to talk about). In the former case it's a matter of public debate, in which everyone has a view and in which people are entitled to opposite views; in the latter case there are likewise two ways to see the situation and the solution will be found through discussion and compromise. An issue is a two-way street, in which opinions go both ways. The use of the word issue within technical support is wide, and so you'd never lose marks for using it in a translation as you have; I suppose I must admit that - with the evolution of language - the word has perhaps become a synonym for problem. But this usage is a bit of co-optation - one doesn't like to admit one's software has problems, so one uses the word issue instead. Problem sounds so negative, an issue is just something to be worked through. As I say, my objection to this usage stems from one company whose staff were prohibited from the use of the word problem.

[gentoo-user] My recent problems have been strange...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 My recent problems upgrading packages to the testing versions have been more than a little odd. It would always end the same way - there would be files missing that had been there before I merged a package, and the loss of these files would prevent the caching of service dependencies. Thus, I could not use emerge and several other tools. The strange part is that it happened four different times with four different packages. Three examples are texinfo, gawk and coreutils. What makes this problem more odd is that I could install those those packages, without trouble, later - with no changes on my part. I did not sync, as I was already up to date, and I did not change any options. Each time I was able to merge a package that has caused me trouble, another package, would cause the same problem. Oh, and by the way, yes I do keep an up to date backup of my entire system, and will restore it, if necessary. This is especially true when re-installing Gentoo, as I have found that, often the order of emerging things can make or break a system (I would call a system broken when you can't run emerge, many key files are missing, and the environment variables are such that you can't run anything, and when rebooting does not work, causing you to have to turn off the computer which corrupts the file system).

What now? How do I get back the only working driver for this piece of crap

(It's in a Dell i8200 notebook -- I CAN'T replace the card BTW)
---
Next thing that's broken is my framebuffer console. I'm stuck back at some
God-awful 80x25 display. And the lovely
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_gensplash doesn't load anymore.
http://fbsplash.berlios.de/wiki/doku.php?id=docs:distros:gentoo would
indicate that nothing has really changed that I can see. The install
mentions this fbcondecor thing, but says it's optional.
This is in my grub.conf file (sans the line breaks for readability):

When I boot it complains about not being able to open /dev/fb0 or /dev/fb/0
Failing to configure resolution and icon positioning
The .log file from the install says this:
* Please note that the 'fbsplash' kernel patch has now been renamed to
* 'fbcondecor'. Accordingly, the old 'splash' initscript is now called
* 'fbcondecor'. Make sure you update your system. See:
* http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/fbcondecor/#history
* for further info about the name changes.
*
* Also note that splash_util has now been split into splash_util, fbsplashd
* and fbcondecor_ctl.
locutus portage # rc-update del splash default
* 'splash' removed from the following runlevels: default
locutus portage # rc-update del splash boot
* 'splash' removed from the following runlevels: boot

UGH!

And lastly, I get this BS when I try to start shorewall, which then causes
it to STB and therefore I'm completely locked off from the network. I can
'shorewall clear' which allows me net access, but then I'm completely
exposed! UGH.

Re: [gentoo-user] best circuit drawing software
Been working with xcircuit. It saves in PS but can be made into a jpeg which looked just as sharp as the original. If you zoom into that jpeg fat enough you will see pixillation. I don't think this will be the case with the postscript file, which is indeed a vector (or vectorish?) format. You're better off converting the PS file to PDF - PDF is fairly postscript-based, so this is an easy conversion, and PDF supports vector-based drawings (as well as bitmaps). If you zoom in on a curve on the PDF using Acrobat (or whatever) you should find that you never see pixillation at all - this is the joy of vectors. Admittedly this is a fairly moot point with a small schematic, but I would imagine it would be considered far more elegant for much larger ones or (particularly) for PCB layouts. xcircuit should suffice for my needs. You can right click the files in konqueror and save them to jpegs, pngs etc. No one's going to bother zooming in on any of them. mw Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

I have looked everywhere I can think of to find a tool that is similar to Ghost that will backup the entire hard drive to an image that I can put to DVD, without including free blocks on the disk (I don't want an 80GB image of an 80GB drive when only 5GB are in use at the time). Does anyone know of a tool capable of this that runs on Linux and has FULL Linux fs support? I actually think that 'dump' will do what you want... provided you can choose a time when the machine is not busy (should be easy if it's your desktop!). You have to do 1 dump per filesystem, but many desktop installations only consist of / (+ maybe /boot) anyway. Also dump of a 80Gb system that only uses 5Gb will produce a 5Gb image Also it can do incremental an cumulative backups. Some friends of mine use Amanda to backup their (Redhat/Centos) servers, that may worth looking at too. Cheers Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
