[gentoo-user] Re: ebuild for gcc-independent llvm and clang for linux
Sorry for earlier mis-send. I send the article again. I'm going to build and install llvm and clang packages in my Linux PC as 1. Binaries of llvm and claag installed finally were compiled by clang. 2. The binaries of 1. depend on libc++.so instead of libstdc++.so. 3. libc++.so was installed by portage. 4. The binaries of llvm, clang, and libc++.so are not linked with libgcc. If linkage with libraries like libgcc is necessary, compiler_rt is linked. Checking the ebuilds of llvm, I found sys-libs/libcxx in DEPEND. But from the comment of revision, append libcxx in dependency is for freebsd. I want to ask I. Building packages described above can be created using ebuilds in main repository in linux? II. if I. is not possible, any ebuild of llvm and clang exists anywhere? If ebuilds that fill II. are not exist, I will to try create such ebuilds.

Classic case of 2nd major project syndrome (read mythical man Month if you don't get the reference) I don't know to what extend the concept of 'Google for the desktop' at the hey-days of Web 2.0 made devs think that running a mysql database on a desktop machine to store meta-tags on everything a user possessed was a 'great idea!' Perhaps there are users who decide to click on the desktop to search for their files, emails, contacts and what not to justify taking the desktop development in this direction. None of the people I know do this, nor do I. Until Alzheimer's sets in I tend to use my brain to search and find things, where I have placed them contextually within my cognitive map. So far this works fine for me - well, most of the time. :p So clearly the bloatware direction taken by the KDE devs is not suitable for me and my immediate needs and that's one of the reasons I use Enlightenment. Irrespective of this, the functionality of semantic desktop search, when I tried it, drove me insane (e.g. it would launch Skype to dial the telephone number of on of my address book contacts I searched on, instead of creating a new mail message).

[gentoo-user] Fresco Logic FL1000G USB 3.0 Controller not working

Googling I found for Ubuntu users, that adding pci=nomsi to the commandline should solve this however I am running in a Xen Dom0 that might have some influence?

[gentoo-user] akonadi, imap mail folders don't appear when created
Hi there, When I create a subfolder at top level of my imap account with kmail2, it does not appear in kmail. Versions involved: kde-base/kontact-4.10.5 kde-base/kmail-4.10.5 app-office/akonadi-server-1.9.2 kde-base/akonadiconsole-4.10.5 Strangly, I appears after a while on my second system (my laptop), but not on the desktop where I created it. Sometimes, also sub-folders are not shown properly when created. I tried reloading the imap data, stoppingstarting akonadi-servers, even re- login or reboot did not help. The only thing that really helped was removing the imap-agent from akonadi and re-installing it. It takes a long time until all akonadi/kmail/mysql/nepomuk/virtuoso-processes are finished with their job and you can do something useful with your computer again. Best regards Alex
[gentoo-user] Thunderbird folder structure on Imap servers inconsistent
Hi there, I'm trying out some mail clients with Imap support, and when using thunderbird (v24.2, latest version in stable gentoo tree) I encountered several problems regarding imap server consistency: Folders which I already deleted still appear (marked in itallic grey color in TB's folder list) Some folders appear multiple times (e.g. I have a folders like Mailinglists + Gentoo + users where all the mail from this forum goes to. This is consistent with the filesystem on my Imap server (dovecot). But, additionally, the 'Gentoo' subfolder appears in top level again (with all its other subfolders as well), and the 'users' folder appears again in top level a third time. Furthermore, when I select an unread mail in 'Mailinglists/Gentoo/users', the counter of unread mail decreases in the top level copy. Does anyone have similar experiences? Best regards, Alex

The current stable gentoo kernel is 3.10.17, so what is it that you are seeking with this old 3.5.7 version? Run emerge --sync to get the latest sources and then look under general to find it. It is under 'General setup' alright: General setup --- ... [*] System V IPC [*] POSIX Message Queues [*] open by fhandle syscalls --This one! HTH. -- Regards, Mick Thank you! Yes, I found it. Though, it would be nice if I look for an option to enable, from search menu / if it finds it I should be able to select it :-/ -- Joseph

I'm not sure, but there are other ncurses, or GUI-fied kernel configuration applications. Try this to see if it serves your purpose when logged into an X session: make xconfig Use Ctrl+f to search for particular modules.
