The Alt-SysRQ shows that it seems to hang during a rmmod - removing the ALSA modules has problems at this kernel version. I'm using intel on board audio (intel-hda module).

[gentoo-user] kacpid eating alot of cpu
Hi. My laptop is in great need of cpu frequency scaling and sleep (it overheats in 10 minutes of compiling otherwise and sounds like a train when I'm sleeping), and as it seems on every how to I have found; acpi is the way it suppose to be. However acpi isn't so nice, since this is what happens (top) 85:08.20 firefox 22:31.57 X 309:53.76 kacpid after three days of use (notice the 309h of cpu-time). And in powertop, 15.7% ( inf) interrupt : acpi acpi takes quite alot of power. And for some reason, sometimes kacpid takes ~80% for many minutes at a time and if I run powertop during that period acpi is responsible for ~90%. I thought that acpi was suppose to help with power waste and stuff like that. On a forum I read that HAL is the thing one should use and acpi is going obsolete. However, that doesn't help so much since it seems as HAL depends on a lot of acpi options in the kernel, which are the ones wasting the cpu and power. So my questions are: Is acpi suppose to act like this? Can I fix it? If not, whats the proper way to migrate to HAL? Does HAL have cpufreq-tools? Any help appreciated. /Blå -- For security reasons, all text in this mail is double-rot13 encrypted.

Your argument becomes true when all previous qt:4 ebuilds vanish from the tree, and so do all ebuilds depending on them. Until then, the meta ebuild is required, as it was with XOrg. Okay, let me try to make this more clear. First some example dependencies for the switch from monolithic to split qt which happened between qt-4.3 and qt-4.4: monolithic phase: DEPEND=x11-libs/qt:4 transition phase (monolithic and split qt coexist): DEPEND=|| ( ( x11-libs/qt-gui x11-libs/qt-opengl ) =x11-libs/qt-4.3* ) split phase (only split qt left): DEPEND=x11-libs/qt-gui x11-libs/qt-opengl In the monolithic phase there was no meta ebuild and everything depended on the monolithic qt ebuild. During the transition phase the dependencies have been separated to make it possible to use either the monolithic qt-4.3 or the split qt-4.4 without any ebuild depending direct on the new qt-4.4 meta ebuild but just the split parts which are needed by the application. After the removal of the monolithic qt-4.3 ebuild which already happened the ebuilds need to depend on the split parts only. So there should be no ebuild in the monolithic phase and almost all ebuilds in the transition phase that will be slowly converted to the split phase. So as far as I see the new qt meta ebuild wasn't needed at any time. -- Regards, Daniel

Yes, it's called a reboot. Nothing else will get the job done and guarantee it's done right without errors. The better way is to just look at the files that were changed, decide for yourself if they need to be restarted and if so restart them manually. If this reply sounds snarky, it's because your question is actually nonsensical from a Unix perspective (although probably quite reasonable from a human perspective). This is a situation that requires either a sledgehammer approach or intelligent human intervention. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Re: [gentoo-user] reload etc conf files
laurent wrote: Hi, I finished etc-updates with a lot of files, is there a way or even need to make all application reload the updated configuration files? thx Laurent It depends upon the software / changes involved. Many services (eg. web server, mail servers) have a reload option on the init script (ie. /etc/init.d/apache reload), otherwise you generally need to restart them to apply changes. Some services / daemons will pick up changes on the fly, but generally they don't in my experience. Programs which are not services / daemons will pick the changes up the next time they are run. You DO NOT generally need to reboot to make sure config changes are correctly loaded. This is not Windows. You just need to read the documentation for the software involved. AllenJB

[gentoo-user] PAN with bluez-utils-3
Hi list! I used to have a working private area network (pan) over bluetooth. However, since the update to net-wireless/bluez-utils-3.36, it doesn't work anymore. I especially want to get rid of the old daemons (USE=-old-daemons) because, as I understand it, they are deprecated. However, I just can't find satisfying documentation on the new structure and config files. I don't want to go into detail on what exactly doesn't work at the moment because I really just guessed how I had to configure everything. So my question is: Does anyone have a working set of configuration files for newer bluez-utils? Preferably something related to the roles GN or NAP. Thanks in advance!

Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon at gmail.com writes: If so are they no long valid for kdelibs (in which case I leave them in make.conf) or are they completely deprecated flages (and hence I should removed them from make.conf)? The former. Other stuff is likely to make use of plasma and webkit (they are fairly generic things) OK got it Gmane requires more new than old ok thx James

Hello.
Can you suggest some simple program which can make these functions:
1).ape,.cue splitting 2)converting flac/ape/wav to ogg mp3 etc.
3)cutting parts of audio files? Please with overlay if one there is.
I use following simple script for flac-mp3 conversion:
=
#!/bin/bash
lame_opts=--vbr-new -V 2 -B 256
for FLAC in $@; do
MP3=`basename ${FLAC%.flac}.mp3`
TAGS=TITLE TRACKNUMBER GENRE DATE COMMENT ARTIST ALBUM\
Title Tracknumber Genre Date Comment Artist Album
for VAR in $TAGS; do eval $VAR=''; done
eval $(metaflac --export-tags-to=- $FLAC | sed 's/=\(.*\)/=\1/')
[ -z $TITLE ] TITLE=$Title
[ -z $TRACKNUMBER ] TRACKNUMBER=$Tracknumber
[ -z $GENRE ] GENRE=$Genre
[ -z $DATE ] DATE=$Date
[ -z $COMMENT ] COMMENT=$Comment
[ -z $ARTIST ] ARTIST=$Artist
[ -z $ALBUM ] ALBUM=$Album
echo Converting $FLAC to mp3: $MP3
flac -c -d $FLAC | lame $lame_opts - $MP3
id3tag \
--artist=$ARTIST \
--album=$ALBUM \
--song=$TITLE \
--track=$TRACKNUMBER \
--genre=$GENRE \
--year=$DATE \
--comment=$COMMENT \
$MP3
done
=
Script actually depends on following packages (main tree):
media-libs/flac
media-libs/id3lib
media-sound/lame
I'm sorry for posting following on the list, since it's non-english.
Just disregard the rest of the message, please :)
Concerning ape, there were some suggestions in (quite recent) ape 2
wav (flac) thread on gentoo-user-ru mailing list:
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user-ru/msg_060cfe116536e31d0b823d7d5117e999.xml
