[gentoo-user] vmware-tools has broken lib

2009-12-24 Thread Xi Shen
hi,

i am using the vmware-tools that vmware workstation provided, and it
has some broken libs

/usr/lib64/vmware-tools/lib64/libconf/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-tiff.so
- (none)
/usr/lib64/vmware-tools/lib64/libconf/gtk-2.0/modules/libatk-bridge.so - (none)
/usr/lib64/vmware-tools/lib64/libspi.so.0/libspi.so.0 - (none)

the system seems working well, but it is really annoying seeing them
every time. is there any way to resolve this? or can i tel
revdep-rebuild not to check these files?

You are highly unlikely to get any useful answers until you post some relevant 
info about what you are trying to do.

- version numbers

[gentoo-user] Grub boots to command prompt

2009-12-24 Thread Daniel D Jones
Just did a stage 3 install following a HD crash on a new HD.  The initial 
install went without issue and I booted from the HD normally.  I then went 
through and installed a bunch of packages - xorg, kde, etc.  I installed 
genkernel, compiled a custom kernel, and updated /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Upon rebooting, I ended up at a grub command line.  I can setup the hard drive 
without errors:

grub root (hd0,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

grub setup (hd0)
 Checking if /boot/grub/stage1 exists... yes
 Checking if /boot/grub/stage2 exists... yes
 Checking if /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 exists... yes
 Running embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)...  17 sectors are embedded.
succeeded
 Running install /boot/grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1+17 p (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage2 
/boot/grub/menu.lst... succeeded
Done.

No errors, says everything's good.  Reboot and I'm right back at the command 
line.

I can do

root (hd0,0)
kernel = /vmlinuz-blah
boot

and boot into the system, so I know the system and hd0,0 is bootable.  (I'm 
writing this message on it after doing the above.)

There are three hard drives in the system.  I've verified that the BIOS is set 
to boot from the first hard drive, which grub sees as hd0.  I've also, just to 
test it out, setup grub on hd1 and hd2, with hd0,0 set as root.  I still get 
the same thing.

Grub package version 0.97-r9 installed.  /boot is mounted to sda1, an ext2 
partition.  / is mounted to sda3, an ext3 partition.  

I'm not seeing any error messages on bootup or in grub.  I have no idea where 
to go with this and so far, web searches haven't been helpful.  Anyone have a 
clue?

[gentoo-user] xconsole characters

2009-12-24 Thread pk
Hi,

Does anyone know if there's a way to configure xconsole to not display
control characters (at least that's what I think it is)? Currently
xconsole displays this when XDM starts:

 [32;01m*[0m Setting clock via the NTP client 'ntpdate' ...
[A[152C  [34;01m[ [32;01mok[34;01m ][0m
 [32;01m*[0m Starting postfix (/etc/postfix) ...
[A[152C  [34;01m[ [32;01mok[34;01m ][0m

I've tried google but it seems my search skills are somewhat lacking...
or noone else has this problem.

The file where xconsole is started:
/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0

... which contains this:
xconsole -geometry 480x130-0-0 -daemon -notify -verbose -fn fixed \
-exitOnFail
#xterm -C -geometry 480x130-0-0 -fn fixed -title Xconsole

Which doesn't really make it any clearer... I've tried to switch between
xconsole and xterm but the xterm one will expand and cover the whole
screen so that I can't see the login prompt...

I'm running a stable system and the xdm version installed is 1.1.8,
xconsole is 1.0.3-r1.

Any help is very much appreciated!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-24 Thread alex ponomarev
Hello.
If you want to test for 64bit extensions processor support, why won't
you try it in VirtualBox or VMware? I think it's better for tests than
install a second system on your second partition. Much faster and easier to
use virtualization, no?

Found the issue.  For some reason, the default menu.lst created with the stage 
3 install had the title line commented out.  When I added the new genkernel to 
the file, I copied and pasted, then edited the kernel line.  My guess is that 
grub uses the title line as the flag to break between options.  With both title 
lines commented out, it saw a single option block with multiple kernel 
statements.  Uncommenting the title lines corrected the issue.

/dev/sda1 on my system, which grub sees as hd (0,0).  When the file system is 
mounted, that partition mounted under /boot but grub still needs to know where 
to find the menu.lst and various stage files on initial boot, and that's hd 
(0,0).

[gentoo-user] The Great Macbook Update 1: Audio

2009-12-24 Thread bn
Hi,

I am updating my Macbook Pro installation. While many programs I updated
often, the basics (Xorg, kernel, etc.) were taking dust since... well, a
lot. I only found time with these holidays. This is therefore probably
the first thread of a long series...

To make it short: The machine is a late-2007 Macbook Pro which I updated
from vanilla-sources 2.6.24-rc6 to gentoo-sources-2.6.31.6. Everything
essential seems to work fine, apart from audio. Audio card is
recognized, the hardware (from lshw) is:

version: 03
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=0 module=snd_hda_intel

The situation is a classic: everything *seems* recognized, no program
compalins, *but* I hear only silence, no audio.

alsamixer and kmix agree on everything being turned on. Where should I
try to look?

[gentoo-user] Spellcheck not working in Kmail

2009-12-24 Thread Daniel D Jones
Options/Automatic Spellchecking is checked and the status line at the bottom 
of Composer shows Spellcheck: on.  Manually selecting Tools/Spelling shows 
the message Spell check complete.  But no mispelled words are marked, 
including nonsense strings like lakjdfh.

ispell is installed.  I can go to a command line and run the ispell program, 
which allows you to manually enter words.  Correctly spelled English words get 
a response of OK.  MIsspelled words get a  response of Not Found.  That 
seems to indicate that ispell is installed, the English dictionary is 
installed, and all is functioning normally.

Anyone have a clue why it's not working in Kmail Composer?

I've never done this for a Mac (and it's kernel) ... however, let's try:

First issue cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec

Which codec does your HDA Intel use? Then check if it's in your kernel:

zgrep 'CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC' /proc/config.gz

Your codec might not be easy to determine, such as mine:
jeremiah ~ # cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
Codec: Analog Devices AD1984
jeremiah ~ # zgrep 'CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC' /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG=y
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ATIHDMI is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_NVHDMI is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_INTELHDMI is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110 is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054 is not set

However, in the Help for CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG we read:
Say Y here to include Analog Device HD-audio codec support in
snd-hda-intel driver, such as AD1986A.

Research told me that the AD1984 and AD1986A use the same module,
and I find AD1984 in this file:
/lib/modules/2.6.32.2/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-codec-analog.ko

If you need more assistance, post the output of:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec and
zgrep 'CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC' /proc/config.gz

If those are correct, it's time to look at alsa settings. Run this:

It's been a long time since I used KDE / Kmail, at least since I did so 
seriously. But I seem to recall there is an option in the preferences to set 
the path to the spell-checker. This may be changes to /usr/bin/aspell, to

 A friend of mine sent me a postcard with a satellite photo of the
 entire planet on it, and on the back he wrote, Wish you were here.

 Which codec does your HDA Intel use? Then check if it's in your kernel:
 
 zgrep 'CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC' /proc/config.gz
 
 Your codec might not be easy to determine, such as mine:
 jeremiah ~ # cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec
 Codec: Analog Devices AD1984
 jeremiah ~ # zgrep 'CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC' /proc/config.gz
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK is not set
 CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG=y
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL is not set

 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ATIHDMI is not set
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_NVHDMI is not set
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_INTELHDMI is not set
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS is not set
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT is not set
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110 is not set
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA is not set
 # CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054 is not set
 
 However, in the Help for CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG we read:
 Say Y here to include Analog Device HD-audio codec support in
 snd-hda-intel driver, such as AD1986A.

You were right, this was the problem, as I independently discovered. I
still don't know which codec is the right one, but enabling *all* of
them solved the issue, and that's fine with me :)

Thanks!

 If you use envelopes, why not encryption ?



thanks. i amended to

echo /usr/lib64/vmware-tools /etc/revdep-rebuild/90-vmware-tools

coz, i found there too many libs in the /usr/lib64/vmware-tools
directory that are reported broken.
