[gentoo-user] Issues with =x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.14.4: driver issue or hardware issue?
Lately, I've been having some issues with segfaults when running startx and it's been pretty persistent. Xorg.0.log and emerge --info are available at https://gist.github.com/2766926 . Kernel config is available at https://gist.github.com/276943 . I've tried downgrading, but =x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.14.2 fails to compile due to incomplete structs. Is this more a driver or a hardware issue? -- 001100 m0shbear 010010 00 andrey at moshbear dot net 11 andrey dot vul at gmail 101101 110011

I pasted a snippet of my /etc/portage/package.use below. I included some other entries for context. Question 1: Is it true that, except for this new RUBY stuff, every entry in my package.use file is an attempt by me to enable some feature I want in a package I want? Answer 1: Yes Question 2: Does it seem weird that portage wants me to add USE flags to enable some feature in a package I never heard of and have no interest in and to top it off has a very weird name (ruby_targets_ruby19)? Answer 2: [your answer here] The tone of this message might sound obnoxious, but it's just a trick I am using to better ask my question. I'm not complaining (I don't even know enough about this to have a complaint), I'm really just curious.

No! Don't do that! Instead, you should add a line
RUBY_TARGETS=ruby19
in your make.conf (or RUBY_TARGETS=ruby18 ruby19) and let portage do
the USE_EXPAND to ruby_targets_ruby19 (respectively,
ruby_targets_ruby18 ruby_targets_ruby19) itself for the relevant
packages. See ${PORTDIR}/profiles/desc/ruby_targets.desc for
description. It is much easier and more intuitive this way, since you
are not doing weird things like building package A for ruby18 but not
package B.
Question 2: Does it seem weird that portage wants me to add USE flags
to enable some feature in a package I never heard of and have no
interest in and to top it off has a very weird name
(ruby_targets_ruby19)?
The weird name is a result of USE_EXPANDing RUBY_TARGETS, just like
LINGUAS and SANE_BACKENDS, for example.

[gentoo-user] desktop colors and widgets are weird after update
I just updated about a week's worth of stuff including an xfce4 update. After rebooting, my desktop colors and widgets are all kinda weird. I've seen this sort of thing before but I'm not sure what causes it. qt stuff acts like this sometimes until I do some sort of a qt config, but this is just about everything including firefox and chromium. Is that enough info to point me in the right direction? - Grant

Is that enough info to point me in the right direction? No, not enough info. I suggest posting everything that got updated (using genlop) and a good description of how stuff on the scrren is weird. Sounds like a screenshot posting is very justified too. First gut feel tells me it won't be Qt as firefox doesn't use it. Drivers maybe? Xorg itself? Is there anything in your elogs about steps to take with anything related to X? Does an X restart (or even a reboot) affect it at all? -- Alan McKinnnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
[gentoo-user] OT: mount so that other users can write to mounted dir?
I'm not really a fan of automount, but I understand that lots of
people are. I'm trying to get it fully functional under mdev, and then
do a write-up on the wiki page. A Google search turns up lots of
examples of code. However, the examples are for embedded devices, and
they assume the only user is root. I've got the automounting and
autounmounting working. Everybody can read the mounted USB stick, but
only root can write. I've tried pmount with the umask option, but it
doesn't help. Assume the scrpt gets passed MDEV=sdb1
#
# Create the directory in /media
mkdir -p /media/${MDEV}
#
# Change permissions to allow read+write by all
chmod 777 /media/${MDEV}
#
# Mount the directory in /media
pmount --noatime --umask 000 /dev/${MDEV}
But after the mount...
user2@aa1 /media $ ll
total 3
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 May 22 19:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 1024 May 21 20:41 ..
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 1024 May 16 01:42 sdb1
Every directory and file belongs to user:group root:root. On the USB
stick all directories are 755 and files are 744. As a heavy-handed ugly
hack, I could...
chgrp -R users /media/${MDEV}
chmod -R g+w /media/${MDEV}
to a USB stick. I obviously don't wnt to do that on the external USB
drive that I rsync my system to every few weeks. Any ideas? And oh
yes, I do realize I'm trying to re-invent the wheel. The old one has
a broken udev :(

What filesystem is on that stick?
For vfat and ntfs what you are truing should work.
For Unix file systems (ext*, reiser, etc), it will not work. You cannot
override owners and permissions with the mount command on those.
