[gentoo-user] Chromium and Google Chrome
Dear All, In the morning after I have synced my portage I saw there is a google-chrome and chromium package. The version numbers are the same. I watched the websites and basically they are the same. Google Chrome is the Chrome browser and the Chromium is the open source project. I would like to know what is the difference between them and why do we have two package? Thanks in advance for any information! András -- - - -- Csanyi Andras (Sayusi Ando) -- http://sayusi.hu -- http://facebook.com/andras.csanyi -- ""Trust in God and keep your gunpowder dry!" - Cromwell

And Chromium is an EXTREMELY long compile

It basically extracts a deb file to /opt. This serves as an easy alternative for people who do not have the patience to compile Chromium. Now that I have developer access, I would like to move this to the tree. Before doing so, I need some advice on how to deal with the EULA[1]. --Snip-- hth, Matt -- Matthew Finkel
Re: [gentoo-user] unable to compile gcc 4.5.3-r1
(Sorry for top-posting; Gmail java mobile client sucks) Also, ensure that you have enough free inodes if you are using ext[2-4] filesystem. Use 'df -i' to check. I once failed emerging gcc-4.5.3 because I ran out of inodes. That was when I have a single partition for root, with slightly less than 320'000 inodes. I was forced to re-create the filesystem, and finally decided to use ReiserFS instead. You may want to use ReiserFS at least for /var/tmp to prevent more inodes problems. After all, /var/tmp (especially /var/tmp/portage) consumes inodes like a hungry dog. Rgds, On 2011-09-02, Dale wrote: > cov...@ccs.covici.com wrote: >> Hi.

Yes, I believe so. It's been a while since I made the migration, but the wireless configuration seems to have broken about the same time. The wired configuration works just fine, and the guide mentions nothing about Wireless changes - e.g. WPA Supplicant - and that's where the problem is. >> Anyone see this issue and know what the solution is?

I'm using KDE, yes. I've tried the tools but it doesn't seem to ever scan for a wireless network on its own, and the scans I have been able to force don't result in a connection - they don't even find the network I'm trying to attach it to. Prior to the change, I could get WPA Supplicant to connect to my wireless, though I did have to have it specifically configured to do so. It wouldn't typically work using the tools for the one wireless network, while I could get it to for others (hotels, other places, etc.). I have added another network that is configured a little differently that I would prefer to connect to (over the old one), but at the moment I'll take either. (The new 802.11g network uses WPA2; the old one uses WEP+Shared.) Ben

I have a laptop which is only used occasionally and (K)Ubuntu is a good use case for it. Keeping it up to date does not take long with more or less vanilla Kubuntu settings and because the user needs are not particularly demanding Ubuntu has filled the OS role admirably. Doing this with Gentoo would require much more attention and time from me. However, I would not use Ubuntu for my needs.

At the moment I'm using claws and it seems quite fine. It has it's funnies (mostly just different behaviour from kmail actually) so I need to rewire my brain a bit. It wants to wait for me to manually expunge folders, and I haven't quite figured out how to always get it to use the correct .sig (a few times my work .sig got used on mailing lists where I always use gmail), but claws has these two amazing features that make it a killer app for me: - it will not ever compose html mail but does a decent job of display it when received - it actually sends, receives and stores mail (akonadi users will appreciate how a mailer can get to make that insanely more complex than it needs to be) -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

SO It is time to remove dev-lang/python-2.6.6-r2 But, I do not believe the results of this command, as python-2.7x has been installed on this system for some time. I have updated many times with -D and rebuild @system recently. Still many packages are listed as depending specifically on dev-lang/python-2.6.6-r2. Is there a better command/syntax to use to flush out what is still dependent on an old/slotted version of python. python-updater is periodically run on the system, just in case anyone thinks that is the issue. curiously, James

Sorry, I should have addressed this last question. Try: equery depends python-2.6.6-r2 and carefully go through the output posting back any addition info and questions. HTH, Mark

Funny that the value recommended in the gentoo localization guide is (for german) LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="C" which I why I used UTF-8. Thank you very much! allan

[gentoo-user] My keyboards works, when not exspected ?!?
Hi, this posting is somehow the opposite of an error report: My keyboard works and I dont know why... The board is a PS2 one, connected via a Belkin PS2-USB converter (active) to an USB port. Exept of a few and seldom stuck CTRL-key situations it works fine. BUT! When starting xkeycaps, selecting the correct keyboard (102 keys, german QWERT, wide Enter with Tall delete), and typing, magic happens: Cursor Left flashes ALT SHIFT on xkeycaps. Cursor Right flashes PRINT... ALT Shift flashes Numblock-Enter and some more. So, if I will spy some keycode with xev for being used to keysym to key in urxvt...will I configure nonsense? Who can I trust more: Me or xkeycaps? Thank you very much for your help in advance! Best regards mcc

Presumably the use of --depclean doesn't work until you're clear with emerge -DuN @world? I've used this stuff so long I've not learned many of the newer tricks I think. Good stuff. Cheers, Mark
