 This machine (my nfsv3 file server) just got a new wireless adapter, which

 mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported

 google shows me lots about slow nfs connections over wireless but nothing
 about non-support. I'm using only nfs3 ATM because I've had so many problems
 with nfs4 in the past. I thought I'd ask here if nfs4 might fix the problem
 before changing everything.

 NFS works over wifi.

 Have you tried mounting with -v and/or -o nfsvers=3?
 
 Yes, about 30 seconds ago :)
 
 #mount -v -t nfs -o nfsvers=3 a6://usr/portage /mnt

 I have nfsv4 working correctly so the urgency is gone but I'm still
 curious if nfsv3 really should work over wifi as well as nfsv4.


nfs3 over wifi works just fine for me, I use it all the time at home.
Setting it up was no different to setting up a wired interface - set
exports on the server, mount from the client.

I suspect the problems you are having are unrelated to wifi as such and
are probably something more mundane. I take it you've checked all the
usual suspects such as your current IP is allowed to connect to the
server, there's no access rules blocking you and so on?

For tasks like re-organizing home directory (sorting large quantity of

  KDE4.
  
  I think that's personal preference.
  I like Dolphin as it allows me to quickly switch to network shares (of

  Konqueror only shows the files and folders, not the Places. And I

  How do I configure Konqueror to give me a similar view?

 Do you mean:
 
 F9 to Show Sidebar, then right click on it, Configure/Add New/Places 
Sidebar
 Module?

Yes, but I miss the quick overview.
With the file-indexing of semantic desktop enabled, I also get the history 
and quick searches for filetypes.

It does help with a lot of files.

I tend to use a combination of Dolphin and MC (console-based)

If those are implemented using KParts, they will be available to
Konqueror in file manager mode too.

 Crap like that should be told right at the start.

This is carryover from KDE 4. In all packages except kdelibs, the GCC
check was in pkg_setup instead of pkg_pretend to save time during
dependency resolution (think emerging 300 KDE packages at once).

I did some quick tests and I'm not convinced that the small time saving
justifies bending the rules and causing the sort of issue you ran into.

 Quite the opposite. Ideally, you should remove the PORTDIR setting

Ok, did I miss a news item on this?

Is this discussed in detail somewhere?

luckily, I did have gcc 4.8 installed, until now I just did not have a
reason to switch. Afterwards emerging the rest was a non-issue. emerge
@preserved-rebuild is not happy, of course because of kactivities-4 and

 If yes, then that is as designed.
 

No, I'm clicking on the   . Sometimes I've expanded folders three to
four levels deep and so it selects completely unrelated folders and
files, as it selects everything from where I've clicked to the top of
the list.

It's really annoying, do you know if that feature be turned off?
