 because the checksums fail so you have to manually force a manifest
 rebuild first.  As I have to update them anyway, is there a ways to
 override the portage checksums and say install anyway?


Are you using http-replicator? Its not clever enough to know that the
installer has changed since the filename doesn't change, and keeps serving
up the first one it downloads. If you remove the installer first from
replicator's --dir, it will work.

 You can generate the list with

 qlist -ICv | sed -e 's/^/~/' -e 's/-r[1-9]$//' \
 /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/goingstable

 This allows revision updates, which is useful as they usually contain bug
 or security fixes, but doesn't allow any higher versions.

 Occasionally running eix-test-obsolete will let you know which entries
 have become redundant because stable has caught up with them.

 I recently used it to move a machine from testing to stable. The one
 caveat is that sometimes the testing version your have installed, and in
 package.accept_keywords, is removed from the tree so portage wants to
 downgrade to the latest stable version. You have the choice of letting
 this happen or unmasking a later testing version.

[gentoo-user] Regular user can't mount/unmount mtpfs; root is OK

2014-07-24 Thread Walter Dnes
  I sent this a day or 2 ago, but it doesn't show up on the list for me.
Apologies to anyone seeing a duplicate.

  I'm a total noobie at mtpfs/FUSE.  My excellent adventure started
yesterday when I got a clearout 7 tablet, and took a sample photo, and
tried mounting the tablet... no /dev/sdb to be found anywhere.  I went
to Mr. Google for help, and found out that MTP is the new and
improved way of doing things.  So I installed mtpfs.  It works great
for root, but a regular user can't mount the tablet.  The mtpfs command
immediately returns to the command prompt, with no error message or any
other info.  The tablet is not mounted...

[d531][waltdnes][~] mtpfs ~/tablet 
[d531][waltdnes][~]

  Before anyone asks...

1) Yes, I have enabled FUSE in the kernel.  At first I hadn't, but I got
a big red warning when I tried compiling mtpfs.  I tweaked and rebuilt
the kernel, and rebooted, then built mtpfs.

2) Yes, I am a member of plugdev...

[d531][root][~] grep plugdev /etc/group
plugdev:x:247:waltdnes,user2

3) This PC uses mdev rather than udev.  Could that be the problem?

  I've figured out a kludge to get around it.  This involves issuing a
few commands as root.  I've added them into a file in /etc/sudoers.d/
but I'd really rather prefer a cleaner solution.

[d531][root][~] mtpfs -o allow_other /home/waltdnes/tablet
Device 0 (VID=0bb4 and PID=2008) is UNKNOWN.
Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team

   When I was finished, I tried...

fusermount: entry for /home/waltdnes/tablet not found in /etc/mtab

  I had to unmount as root...

[d531][root][~] fusermount -u /home/waltdnes/tablet

  I experienced similar problems with simple-mtpfs, so that's not a
solution either.  Any ideas?

[gentoo-user] Help needed with ebuilds for pear.horde.org

2014-07-24 Thread J. Roeleveld


Hi All,

I am trying to create an ebuild for Egroupware 14.1. (released this month)

To find out the dependencies, I am going through the setup check and am stuck 
with the following:
**
Checking PEAR pear.horde.org/Horde_Imap_Client (2.16.0) is installed: False
PEAR::Horde_Imap_Client is needed by: EMailAdmin. You can install it by 
running: pear channel-discover pear.horde.org ; pear install 
pear.horde.org/Horde_Imap_Client
**

If I run those commands, it works, however, I prefer to use ebuilds for the 
dependencies.
I tried to create some based on existing ebuilds from the kolab overlay (they 
also use the pear.horde.org channel), but even though the install seems to 
work, it still isn't found.

I also tried to adjust an existing PEAR ebuild to:
**
# Copyright 1999-2011 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

inherit php-pear-r1

LICENSE=LGPL-3
SLOT=0
KEYWORDS=amd64
PHP_PEAR_CHANNEL=pear.horde.org
SRC_URI=http://pear.horde.org/get/${PEAR_PN}.tgz;
DEPEND=dev-php/PEAR-Horde_Channel
**

But I am unable to properly change the PEAR-channel.

I am certain I am missing something simple, but my google-fu is coming short.

If anyone is able to point me in the right direction, I would be very 
grateful.

I think all you're missing is the build-time dependencies. If one
package needs another (say, cmake) to build but not to run, then portage
won't update it by default when you update @world. You can change that
behavior by passing --with-bdeps to emerge.

From `man emerge`:

  --with-bdeps  y | n 
In dependency calculations, pull in build time dependencies that
are not strictly required. This defaults to ´n´ for installation
actions, meaning they will not be installed,  and  ´y´  for  the
--depclean  action, meaning they will not be removed.  This set‐
ting can be added to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS (see make.conf(5))  and
later overridden via the command line.




[gentoo-user] acroread woes

2014-07-24 Thread James
Howdy,

I have acroread 9.5.5 installed. It is set as the default pdf
reader for both seamoney and firefox. I mostly use seamonkey, because
it allows for page/font sizing on the fly, via the mouse wheel (middle
button on my logitech mouse).  I'd use firefox more, if I could figure
out dynamic font size adjustments, via the mouse wheel under firebox.
Maybe an addon does this? Scrolling fonts sizes is quinessentially important
to old eyes, imho.

On seamonkey, when I follow a web link to a pdf, I just get a black page on
my browser. Under firefox, I get the pdf to open up to be read,
but can only print postscript files, unless I go to the 
adobe web site; which is not an option for me.

I'm looking for a long term solution that easily allows both
viewing and download of the pdf file; that's how acroread use
to work.  Googling yeilds a myriad of choices and viewpoints, but
I've not found any solutions I'm happy with.

I'm running simple LXDE (soon to be lxqt5 now, so I do not want a hugely
bloated collection of applications, just a simple viewer/download capability
of pdf files.

I also run noscript on my browsers now (very cool!). I do not consider it
a problem, when I have to click a button or 2 to allow something
that noscript has identified and filtered as a possilbe point
of caution. I like noscript and have little desire to permanently
disable it, so suggestions must work reasonable well with noscript too.

I've tried MuPDF, but it is a bit spartan and does not (at least
from what I've experienced) allow for simple downloading of the pdf.

Guidance, discussion and suggestions are most welcome!
Maybe another browser will make me happy?

James

Improved, maybe, necessary, definitely. The old way of using mass storage
meant the storage had to be unmounted on the phone first, which could
break running applications.

 So I installed mtpfs.  It works great

I has problems with mtpfs and switched to jmtpfs, which works much

  of course it fails checksum.

 The saving grace is that I have only seen the behaviour with this one
 package so its something easily dealt with - now I know.  Plus flash is
 dieing so I might be able to do away with it before much longer -
 unfortunately the OSS packages just are not as good.  I've used
 http-replicator for distfiles since it came out in ~2004 and its always
 just worked.  Oh well ...
 
 BillK

I can't use any of the other packages because I use the BBC's radio streaming 
service every day, and none of them work with it (as far as I know).

I have the same problem every time adobe-flash is updated. Last time it 
happened I had a conversation with the maintainer about it [1]. He said the 
problem was caused by Adobe's unconventional version numbering (which sounds 
like the same thing as Bill found), together with any caching proxy in 
between. That's http-replicator in my case too. Solved with wget --no-proxy. 
Or I suppose just deleting the tarball from the proxy's cache should do it.

Forcing a re-manifest is not the thing to do, as that would just lead to 
reinstalling the version you have already.

 Howdy,

 I have acroread 9.5.5 installed. It is set as the default pdf
 reader for both seamoney and firefox. I mostly use seamonkey, because
 it allows for page/font sizing on the fly, via the mouse wheel (middle
 button on my logitech mouse).  I'd use firefox more, if I could figure
 out dynamic font size adjustments, via the mouse wheel under firebox.
 Maybe an addon does this? Scrolling fonts sizes is quinessentially important
 to old eyes, imho.

I'm still young but zooming in browsers and terminals is as important
for me :), Firefox does all you mention to need for me, I can prewiew
pdfs(set prewiew for opening pdfs by default), Ctrl+mouse-wheel zoom
in and out, and the awesome vimperator plugin with its comands
z(I|O)(zoom text and images) and z(i|o)( for zooming only text ) and
repeat with '.'  make my browsing experience the best I have found.

 That shouldn't happen. If an installed package is removed for the tree,
 portage should either install the highest version that matches your

I am not sure if you consider the message from eix-test-obsolete

 No, as it will add them to world (this behaviour of -u appears to vary

upgrading virtual/perl-CPAN-Meta-Requirements entails downgrading two
other perl packages (or bumping their version in goingstable, which I

I am going away for 2 weeks, but when I return I will look carefully at

Message delivery has been failing, sorry if this is received twice.

Wow, running Steam on Hardened. Seems ambitious.

Most things work after grsec is clubbed over the head (sadly the only real
option in a lot of cases).

1. Reply with a list of actions/commands you did that led up to this
point

I untared a file extracted from the Valve-provided .deb to /. I then
created the package set and emerged
it; it failed while compiling glibc. Something during these steps
apparently broke glibc/gcc
(with a different error than I am asking about now), so I had to reinstall
them from
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org and copy a bunch of headers from the 64 bit
directory to a 32 bit one.
Now I'm getting this error.

I think part of it goes back to when I initially extracted the
Valve-provided .tar.gz... It seems to have
overwritten a lot of files, but I assumed and have been told this is not
the default behavior, or even
really possible (it would have had to clear pre-existing directories).

Do you mean I tried to install @steam and it failed once it got to
glibc, or were you running with --keep-going and figured it out in
hindsight?

It failed immediately, I did not use --keep-going.

Did you do a deep update before doing all of this?

Yes.

2. Attach the full build log

It's too long to include in the message body. What is the best way to send
it? If you do not mind visiting an external link, here is one:

 I've only been running Gentoo for a couple of years, so sorry for

 You can generate the list with

 /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/goingstable

 This allows revision updates, which is useful as they usually contain bug
 or security fixes, but doesn't allow any higher versions.

 Occasionally running eix-test-obsolete will let you know which entries
 have become redundant because stable has caught up with them.

 I recently used it to move a machine from testing to stable. The one
 caveat is that sometimes the testing version your have installed, and in
 package.accept_keywords, is removed from the tree so portage wants to
 downgrade to the latest stable version. You have the choice of letting
 this happen or unmasking a later testing version.

Well, KDE is already on Qt 5.
Strictly speaking, there's no KDE or KDE SC anymore.
There are 3 separate projects:

Qt 4 apps will still be able to work with Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5.

I experienced similar problems with simple-mtpfs, so that's not a

 I vaguely remember suffering through the same problem when I bought my
 Nexus7
 tablet from google about a year ago.  (My memories now are a bit fuzzy.)

 I believe I had to add this file manually:

 #cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

 SUBSYSTEM==usb,ATTRS{idVendor}==18d1,ATTRS{idProduct}==4e41,MODE=0666,OWNER=wa1ter

 I harvested those hex numbers from running lsusb -v IIRC.


The idea behind w41ter's plan is to make sure that the device file
corresponding to the mtp device is read-writable by the user running mtpfs.

You mentioned that you are a member of the plugdev group, but does the
plugdev group actually get ownership of the mtp device? This is something
you'll have to investigate in your mdev rules.

Re: [gentoo-user] Regular user can't mount/unmount mtpfs; root is OK

 Apologies to anyone seeing a duplicate.

   I'm a total noobie at mtpfs/FUSE.  My excellent adventure started
 yesterday when I got a clearout 7 tablet, and took a sample photo, and
 tried mounting the tablet... no /dev/sdb to be found anywhere.  I went
 to Mr. Google for help, and found out that MTP is the new and
 improved way of doing things.  So I installed mtpfs.  It works great
 for root, but a regular user can't mount the tablet.  The mtpfs command
 immediately returns to the command prompt, with no error message or any
 other info.  The tablet is not mounted...

 [d531][waltdnes][~] mtpfs ~/tablet 
 [d531][waltdnes][~]

   Before anyone asks...

 1) Yes, I have enabled FUSE in the kernel.  At first I hadn't, but I got
 a big red warning when I tried compiling mtpfs.  I tweaked and rebuilt
 the kernel, and rebooted, then built mtpfs.

 2) Yes, I am a member of plugdev...

 [d531][root][~] grep plugdev /etc/group
 plugdev:x:247:waltdnes,user2

 3) This PC uses mdev rather than udev.  Could that be the problem?

   I've figured out a kludge to get around it.  This involves issuing a
 few commands as root.  I've added them into a file in /etc/sudoers.d/
 but I'd really rather prefer a cleaner solution.

 [d531][root][~] mtpfs -o allow_other /home/waltdnes/tablet
 Device 0 (VID=0bb4 and PID=2008) is UNKNOWN.
 Please report this VID/PID and the device model to the libmtp development team

Install gnome-base/gvfs with USE=gphoto2 mtp and then use gvfs-mount
to mount the device, because gvfs-mount
will make use of your PolicyKit with ConsoleKit or systemd-logind
authorization that allows mounting as a *local*
and *normal* user.
Then you don't need the mtpfs command, any group, any custom udev rules, ...

Have you looked at the get_iplayer script?
