Re: [gentoo-user] Re: kernel panic -- finding proper config diff - RESOLVED
fyi, sound card problems when updating to 2.6.30 seem to be common. Typically the boot msg is something like "unknown hardware" "initializing by guess method" The fix seem to be just to run alsaconf and follow the prompts.

Re: [gentoo-user] Uncle: qt-*:4 dependencies/blocks preventing world update
I have read a number of different explanations and suggestions, some of them
regarding an earlier, yet similar, tanglement between versions of qt-*.
I've tried a number of suggestions, and I have unmerged and remerged
packages.
I am now trying to individually merge packages with dependencies on
qt-*-4.5.2.
I tried KDE 4.3.1, with some trepidation, and I have happily been running
gnome, save a couple of nits, and I have run into qt issues in the past. I
would like to uninstall kde4 (like it, but not well enough to devote so many
resources to it, and to have to upgrade frequently and painfully). I would
like to remove the KDE 4 installation, but keep the individual packages
depending on kdelibs. (K3b, etc.). Would this have an impact on this
issue? This is off topic, but how to uninstall EXCEPT what I want, of
KDE4? Is this reasonable?
Thanks. I hope to solve this soon, but it's too early to know whether the
help on this list was enough. I changed USE flags, and the same messages

This has been hashed to death many many many many times in recent weeks. Just
like the KDE upgrade before that, and the libxcb thing, xorg-1.6, and
dbus/hal.
Please search the mail archives. Or read your elogs, it's all in there.

[gentoo-user] Has MySQL become compulsory?
Hi
Ran an eix-sync followed by an emerge -puDNv world.
It reported that my 'profile' was no longer supported, and suggested
switching to the 'default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop', which I did.
Retried the emerge -puDNv world, with the following result:
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.0:4[mysql]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/qt-sql-4.5.2 (Change USE: +mysql)

I do not want either mysql or KDE4 on my 'stable' desktop host.
Any ideas what's happening? Or how to fix it without installing mysql?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: kernel panic -- finding proper config diff
not an idea really but further experience Since LiveDvD-10.1 boots, albeit buggily, on the netbook. I tried to use the kernel config provided with it. I ran make oldconfig then opened up the menu and whittled away the extraneous modules, built the new kernel, installed it and rebooted. This time, after a flurry of red exclamation points, it reached the login and crashed there. Is it feasible that I should go back in and compile in that kernel log option, what's it called? Then after it crashes, reboot into the working kernel, and see if that log has been created? Hey, I guess that counts as an idea :) BTW, the major problem with the LiveDvD is the tendency for the syslog(?) console to bleed into all the other consoles -- messages just popped onto the screen. mw On 10/23/09, walt wrote: > On 10/22/2009 04:31 PM, walt wrote: >> On 10/21/2009 11:25 AM, Maxim Wexler wrote: > >>> The kernel panicked.

If you are running ~amd64 you are probably using baselayout-2 and openrc. In that case the file you should be looking at is /etc/rc.conf and you should not use app-admin/showconsole.

All that I needed to do is click "Remember passwords" for each account. Now kwallet is launched exactly as in KDE3.5 ... and deals with the mail login. Apologies for all the noise - other than Akonadi which it seems is a bit ropey without Java, kmail4 is very much the same with 3.5 give or take a few cosmetic things.

It seems that the kwallet does not perform as expected: With 3.5 I would fire up kmail (remember I am running xdm/fluxbox not kdm/kwin) and when I clicked on 'Check Mail' it caused kwallet to launch and ask me once for the master passwd. With kmail4 this does not happen. The kmail application asks for passwords separately for each account of mine without kwallet being launch at all ... until I click to send a message! Then it launches fine and asks for the master password. I can't call this a bug - but I find it problematic to have to enter 3-4 account passwds instead of just one. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Without looking through the ebuilds, I'd guess the ebuild runs
useradd -r
which will always lead to your problem sooner or later.
IMNSHO, /etc/{passwd,shadow,group} really should be part of the base install
with all daemon users pre-defined. Use the range 1-99 for this, it will take a
very long time to accumulate more than 99 daemon UIDs and one can confidently
know what UID a given system user required by an ebuild ought to be.
The implementation is obviously more complex than dropping a file on the file
system, so a simple API is required. Nonetheless, the idea is still sound.
The alternate is to expect users to know to run
find / -nouser -o -nogroup
at the magic points where it will be useful. Which is ludicrous.

[gentoo-user] fcrontab - what am I missing [SOLVED]
Hi, after hunting around for some weeks now, I've finally found the culprit to my permission problems with fcron[tab] First, some Gentoo package must have changed the UID of several executables and directories of the sys-process/fcron package to 'stunnel' instead of 'fcron'. I've found and fixed these long ago but still it didn't work. Now, I've found out, that in /etc/passwd the user 'fcron' had a GID which wasn't in /etc/group any longer. Probably, when sys-process/fcron is reinstalled, portage does not seem to change the entry in /etc/passwd (which it has created itself some time ago) This was a hard one. Again, many thanks to all of you who have helped me, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

[gentoo-user] Gnome doesn't shutdown
Hello, I noticed that Gnome doesn't shutdown anymore. When I press System/Shutdown and I confirm in the prompt, the desktop is cleared but the wallpaper is still visible and the machine doesn't shutdown. This behavior appeared after an update; I waited for another update, but the problem still persists. I wonder if I make an error during the update or it is a bug affecting the last releases of the desktop manager. I run the version of gnome 2.26.3 Thanks in advance, Manuel Fiorelli

I tried to import old KDE2 address book settings from within the KDE4 address book and it failed - couldn't find it in KDE3.5. However, I then opened my eyes properly, searched better and found .kde3.5/share/apps/kabc/ which contains, as Alan kindly suggested, my address book data. Copied it over, deleted the old .kde3.5/share/apps/kabc/lock directory and now the KDE4 kmail lists all my address book entries! Yes! :-) Also, I found a solution to the kmail filters - I opened the filters tab in kmail4 and used the import button, pointed it to the 3.5 kmailrc and it imported them all fine. Very pleased. :-) > Another question please: The 3.5 Konqueror Introduction page used to > have a hyperlink for opening media. In there I would find USB sticks > that I could mount via hald.

On these machine I have to choose a specific output - TV or monitor - in BIOS. My experience with these Asus machines is the Phoenix BIOS didn't do a good job of auto-selecting which output to use and I didn't want to confuse things as my needs are TV only. I think I tried a monitor once, probably got a blank screen, and then gave up and just used the TV from there on. In your friend's case, if she's using a monitor sometimes and a TV sometimes, then that's beyond my experience on these boxes and you are unfortunately more on your own. I know the machine will drive a monitor - I have a 3rd that I use that way - but I've not had luck getting it to switch back and forth on command, although I haven't tried very hard. Good luck, Mark

Re: [gentoo-user] ATI X trouble, again
Each time you reinstall the driver (fglrx) for some reason, be sure you do "eselect opengl set ati" again, even if the ebuild says it's doing it for you. I've been hit by that dozens of times. Can't be sure if it's your problem but it might worth a try. Besides that, if you have both installed, make sure (using lsmod) that only fglrx OR radeon+drm is loaded, and that it matches the one in your xorg.conf. Otherwise funny things will happen. -- Jesús Guerrero

Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Web Browing -> Plugins -> Plugins
Adobe puts the plugins in /opt/netscape/plugins{,32} with symlinks to the .so
in /usr/lib{32,64}/nsbrowser/plugins
Make sure something compatible with those directories is in the Folders pane
and the plugin itself is listed in the Plugins pane
If that all checks out and you still can't use Flash, then we move onto the

[gentoo-user] ATI X trouble, again
Hi there! Now all this X stuff is becoming really annoying. I struggled for days to get it to work again after the upgrade to 1.6. I have a Radeon HD3200 and tried using fglrx, radeon, radeonhd, vesa, or no xorg.conf at all. I got a blank screen only and no apparent errors in the Xorg log. So it seems X was running fine, apart from having a blank screen. I had similar problems when I started with this machine half a year ago. With every update of kernel, X or ati-drivers, I fear that my X will not work when I reboot. And half of the times this is true. For some three years before I had an old NVidia card, and experienced the same. But then I could just change driver from nvidia to nv and got X running, just without acceleration. What is quite annoying with my ATI card is that often I cannot go back to text mode then I try something new in my xorg.conf, and have to reboot. I know about Alt-SysRq-R, this works sometimes (but only once, not if I start X again), and sometimes it does not. The good news is, that with 2.6.31-tuxonice and ati-drivers-9.9-r2 suddenly all is working perfectly. For this time, let's see what the next update will do. But there is this machine of a friend which I just updated. She did not do this for about a year, mostly because she also had lots of troubles in configuring her X. She needs a working TV-out, which complicates things even more. And so she did not dare to change her working setup, I can understand this. Now I upgraded the machine, which was some trouble, too, many blockers and such. That's done, all is perfectly fine I think. But I did that from remote, now I tried to start X. Guess what happened. No apparent errors with radeon, radeonhd or without xorg.conf, but the screen just goes blank, the TFT enters suspend mode. With vesa, X hangs so I cannot go back into text mode and have to reboot. I replaced her TFT with a CRT monitor. Same result, whether I configure this monitor or not, when I start X it complains about bad frequencies. I did not try ati-drivers. Her card is a RV505 (Radeon X1550 Series) which is no longer supported by current ati-drivers. Older drivers might still work for a while, but only with kernels < 2.6.29. And I suspect the problem is not the driver itself, because radeon does not work, too, and I also had similar problems of a blank screen with an ATI card and different drivers. Today is her birthday, I intended to present her the updated PC with accelerated X and KDE4, but now she cannot use it at all. Any idea what do to now? Apart from buying a new graphics adapter, which might work, or might not work. Or trying more monitors. The xorg.conf and some log files are here, in case someone wants to have a look: http://wonkology.org/~wonko/tmp/tanja/ Thanks, Wonko

Settings -> configure konqueror... -> plugins -> "plugins" tab -> "scan for plugins" And then check that the flash plugin is in the list of available plugins, or add the directory it's in to the list of folders to search, and click on "scan for plugins" again.

From the nepomuk ebuild: || ( >=dev-libs/soprano-2.3.0[clucene,dbus,raptor,java] >=dev-libs/soprano-2.3.0[clucene,dbus,raptor,redland] ) So change the line in package.use to: dev-libs/soprano clucene dbus raptor redland and re-emerge soprano

[gentoo-user] KDE4 and /dev-libs-soprano
I seem to be going around in circles with wanting to avoid installing Java just because KDE4 seems to need it in part. I have added this in my /etc/portage/package.use to make sure Java is not pulled in: dev-libs/soprano -java Then emerged a few kde-meta's that I use, like network, multimedia, base and what not. All completed fine. I thought I was ready to go and just checked that the system is coherent with regards to USE flags. This is what I got: # emerge -uaDvN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=dev-libs/soprano-2.3.0[clucene,dbus,raptor,java]". !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - dev-libs/soprano-2.3.1 (Change USE: +java) (dependency required by "kde-base/nepomuk-4.3.1" [installed]) (dependency required by "kde-base/dolphin-4.3.1-r1" [installed]) (dependency required by "kde-base/mplayerthumbs-4.3.1" [installed]) (dependency required by "kde-base/kdemultimedia-meta-4.3.1" [installed]) (dependency required by "world" [argument]) Why is it asking me to change the USE flag to +java? -- Regards, Mick

Yeah, I've seen mixed outcomes when doing that. I was probably lucky. What I really did was: 1) save the "vanilla" .kde directory that was created when kde4 first started up, to have a safe rollback in case something goes wrong 2) cp -a the .kde3.5 dir to .kde4, as said 3) check that things were mostly correct, and if not rollback to the saved .kde dir I created in step 1 Turned out everything worked fine (or at least everything I've seen so far), so I didn't need to rollback, but probably, as they say, YMMV.

On Linux using SQLite in Firefox actually slimmed down the browser code (compared to the version that still used mork), as it uses the system version for the database. P.
