[gentoo-user] Perl problem
Hi! It seems like perl-5.8.8-r3 introduced a new place (/usr/lib/vendor_perl) for perl modules, but the perl-cleaner utility didn't catch that properly. Now all perl modules/utilities (like genlop) are broken for me. What is the easiest way out? Trying to find out which perl modules are installed and re-install them all? Has anybody else seen the same problem? /Andreas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Something like this: emerge -av1 $(equery --nocolor list -f 'dev-perl/.*' |tail --lines=+2 | sed 's;dev-perl;=dev-perl;g') was what I had in mind. /Andreas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

See this bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/199518 for more information. Thanks a lot! I searched b.g.o before posting to the list but didn't find that bug myself. /Andreas -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Back up again
Pupeno wrote: After a lot of testing and testing of different methods to make backups I reached a conclution of what I need, but I don't know if it's possible. I want to do an rsync of the server directories I want but locally, it should end up in a tared file (it doesn't need to be compressed). I need it on a tared file because I want to preserve permissions, so, restoring the backup won't be a pain. I want rsync because I need to make it incremental, if not, I'll kill my server's bandwidth, at last I need to reach root privileges by sudoing. Is this possible ? if not, is there any workarround that you know that might help me (like taring the dirs on the server and syncing that) ? Thank you. Take a look at rdiff-backup, http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup? It's in portage as well... /Andreas -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Dual Core 64/Intel
Jonathan Wright wrote: Yes, it is a dumb question. Gentoo users create their own kernel versions depending on their hardware and configuration. A little harsh I think! Agree! If your running a dual-core, double-processor system, it's effectively a quad system (no dual), so SMP should be build for at least 4 processors. Here's another dumb one: Is hyperthreading enabled in the dual-core procesors? Thus making a single dual core Xeon count as 4 processors kernel-wize? /Andreas -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] foomatic-configure problems

I have an old laptop that I recently installed Gentoo and Gnome on as a workstation. When I try and use foomatic-configure to set up cups to the same printer it just doesn't work. I must have been through the Gentoo Printing Guide a dozen times and still can't configure. Im obviously doing something wrong The command I'm issuing is: foomatic-configure -s cups -p HP-DeskJet_510 -c smb://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/HP510 -n dj510 -d gimp-print-ijs Not necessary on a client. I assume you did this on the cups server mentioned above when you did the initial setup of the print system (you are using cups on the server aren't you?) Just edit /etc/cups/client.conf on the cups client host to point at the cups server host and u should be all set. /Andreas -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Forcing a downgrade of glibc on install
Andrew Hall wrote: Where to from here? Surely there is an easier way to tell gentoo that I don't want the latest version of glib, I want an older one on install. We can't use the latest (2.3.4) glibc because we have an embedded application that relies on 2.3.2 libraries. Not knowing Gentoo very well, can anyone suggest how I should be doing this? Is it possible to install the old glibc by hand someplace else than the default and point the embedded thing to use it instead? Leaving the system with the current glibc intact... /Andreas -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
