Re: [gentoo-user] Remove redundant entries in world - howto
Helmut Jarausch jarau...@igpm.rwth-aachen.de: Hi, does anybody know about an easy method to remove all entries from /var/lib/portage/world which would have been pulled in anyway even if they were not contained in world. My current attempt would be to write a script which executes emerge -vpc on each entry in world. If it wouldn't be removed it's obsolete in world. Unfortunately this has to be done in several rounds. As far as I know there is currently no tool available for something like this. I have a skript which runs emerge -pv --depclean for every entry in world. If depclean returns reverse dependencies the package in question is redundant in world. It takes quite some time but works reliable. There are false positives for packages with PDEPENDS, but you will recognize this when emerge -pv --depclean wants to remove packages which you want to keep afterwards and you can add them back manually. Another method would be removing the world file (backup before) and run the regenworld script afterwards. The result is not really minimal so there will still be redundant entries. I asked the portage maintainer about such a tool, as it would be best if it uses the portage API to speed things up. He didn't not see the point of such a script but thought about writing something which creates a minimal word file. If you want such a functionality I recommend to open a bug about it. -- Daniel Pielmeier

It has nothing to do with the profile you are running. Portage saves all data for installed packages in a database under /var/db/pkg. Lets say you have installed dev-lang/toluapp. Recently this package has been moved to dev-lua/toluapp. The information about this package is now wrong and needs to be fixed. This is what happened here. It also takes care about existing binary packages. So there is nothing to worry about. Just take a look at these files and you will find lines like: slotmove sys-libs/libchipcard 2 0 move dev-lang/toluapp dev-lua/toluapp It just informs portage about the changes, so it can fix it in the database. * An update to portage is available. It is _highly_ recommended A new version of portage is available and you should update to that new version.

Re: [gentoo-user] HP C4795 All-in-One Att'n Neil Bothwick
2010/11/3 CJoeB colleen.bea...@gmail.com:
Thanks for the link. I got the scanner working and BTW, I did do a
google search, but the search parameters I used only returned stuff from
my previous posts.
Good to hear!
The reason for the Att'n Neil Bothwick in the subject line is because
Neil responded months ago when I had the scanner working the first time,
but could only run xsane as root, not as a normal user. Neil responded
suggesting that I write a udev rule and gave me an example:
SYSFS{product}==CanoScan, SYSFS{manufacturer}==Canon,
GROUP:=scanner, MODE:=0660
I used this to write a udev rule after reading some documentation. Of
course I changed the product and manufacturer in the above line to what
is applicable to my HP C4795. After rebooting, I was able to run xsane
as a normal user.
sane-backends should provide udev rules maybe there is something
wrong/missing for your scanner.
However, when I run it from the command line, a bunch
of messages appear and I'm not sure if there is a problem or if I didn't
write the rule correctly.
This is the message that repeats itself in the terminal window:
(xsane:10566): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with
non-zero page size is deprecated
Do I need to be concerned about this?
Don't think so. It's just some gtk deprecation warnings. The xsane
developers should be concerned about this messages though.

Mostly, they were related to the printer portion of the device. The printer works fine. The current problem is related to the scanner. My previous post was about not being able to use xsane as a normal user, it would only work as root. Since posting that, I've done upgrades to my system and for months, the scanner won't work at all - not as a normal user nor as root. I've tried reinstalling sane-backends and xsane using an unstable version, but that didn't help the situation. I've checked the kernel configuration and that looks fine. When installing sane-backends, after the normal USE=, there is a statement SANE-BACKENDS= ... where a number of devices are listed, but none in the 4700 series. I have no idea what is going on here. I don't scan much, but tonight when I desperately needed to scan I couldn't despite my best efforts. BTW, I AM in the scanner group, so that is not the issue. Whenever, I try to run xsane as a normal user or root, I get the message No device found. Help would be appreciated.

So I cannot find an explicit listing for this new model HP printer:
OfficeJet Pro 8500; so I'm using this driver:
HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C.
According to http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/index.html
your printer is supported sine hplip 3.9.2, so there should be a driver.
New versions of hplip do not install ppd files for every printer they support
anymore. The ppd file is generated at run time by using hp-setup.
eix hplip
* net-print/hplip

About the hplip use flags
cupsddk
Not relevant as it has been removed in recent versions of hplip. With newer
versions of cups you wont need cupsddk as it has been integrated into cups.
hpcups
Is the new printer driver which replaces the hpijs driver.
hpijs
See above.
new-hpcups
You don't need it.
static-ppds
It seems for some printers the new method of creating the ppd file is not
available. So if you have problems with installing your printer by using
hp-setup you should try installing hplip with the static-ppds flag and try
hp-setup again.
So hplip and cups work together? I thought is was one
or the other?
You use the hpcups flag and not the new-hpcups flag?
Hplip needs cups!
I could not help but notice the avahi and zeroconf flags. I do not
see them. Do I have to install mono-zeroconf and avahi to see those
flags?
Do you find them useful? What applications are using avahi/zeroconf ?
You don't need avahi or zeroconf for hplip, which does not work for current
versions of hplip due to bugs in cups anyway. This is only needed if you have a
networked printer. You can still detect the printer without the mDNS
(avahi,zeroconf) method through SLP. You should be able to select the detection
method at run time with hp-setup.

Meaning this package needs sqlite and there is no alternative. app-portage/eix-0.17.0 (sqlite? =dev-db/sqlite-3) Here sqlite is optional via use flag. So you can get rid of the dependency it by disabling the use flag. Those appear to be in the ebuild and MySql is not a option for replacement. Is there a way? I have already emerged these with the -sqlite and +mysql USE flag. I notice something about sqlite3 in one of the ebuilds. What is that? The main reason why I respond to this post is that there are still a lot of people which are using equery depends, although it is known to print false positive by not taking use flags into account. You have to scan through the output and check if the use flag is activated which pulls in the package you want to check. Like for eix in the above example. Eix only depends on sqlite if the sqlite use flag is activated. Equery depends lists it in any case (activated or not) as it doesn't take the use flags into account. A more convenient way to find out the correct reverse dependencies with portage is emerge -pv --depclean atom[1]. Running only emerge -pv --depclean checks the complete world and system set, but if you pass a package to it only the reverse dependencies of the package in question are examined.

Do you use distcc? Try if the ebuild works with temporary disabling
distcc. If distcc is to blame, fixing wont be that easy. You have to
examine build.sh and fix it in order to work with distcc.

Okay, this is not a distcc problem.
From looking at the bug. Do you really think by just tricking the
architecture check to accept x86_64 will make it magically compile. You
can't be serious! This software does not build on x86_64 at the moment.
If you don't have the appropriate programming skills to fix this
yourself you have to wait for the openwatcom developers to make it
x86_64 ready.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge --depclean does not remove due to link level dependencies
2009/11/4 Alex Schuster wo...@wonkology.org: Hi there! Again, this is just something I am curious about, not a real problem. emerge -p --depclean gives me this output: [...] Calculating dependencies... done! Checking for lib consumers... Assigning files to packages... * In order to avoid breakage of link level dependencies, one or more * packages will not be removed. This can be solved by rebuilding the * packages that pulled them in. * * dev-libs/elfutils-0.131-r2 pulled in by: * dev-util/ddd-3.3.12-r1 needs libelf.so.1 Newer versions of portage print this message if a package is about to be removed because there is no ebuild dependency from all other installed packages, but it is still needed because other packages link to it automagically. This seems to be the case here, ddd automagically links to elfutils depending on whether it is available or not, instead of being controlled by the ebuild via use flag. So ddd links against elfutils and portage does not know about it. In this case the suggestion of rebuilding the packages does not work. With older portage versions elfutils is removed and the dependency is ignored. Revdep-rebuild will complain about ddd linking against elfutils which is not available anymore and then rebuild ddd which will result in ddd not linking against elfutils anymore. [...] And some more of that involving media-libs/libcddb-1.3.2, media- sound/esound-0.2.41, sys-libs/db-4.5.20_p2-r1 and sys-libs/db-4.6.21_p4. Okay, ddd needs libelf.so.1, provided by elfutils. Still the same when I rebuild ddd. So, why does this output appear at all? ddd needs libelf.so.1, this is in elfutils, so of course elfutils is needed just like any other package. Oh, wait I think I got it. emerge -pe ddd dos NOT list elfutils. So is this a bug in the ddd ebuild, not having elfutils as a dependency? And the same would be true for the other packages? Should I file some bugs? H. Now I got it. ddd does indeed not need elfutils. But it uses it when it is available. After removing elfutils, ddd still builds. Starting the ddd configure script in by hand with the --help option does not show options like --without-elf, so it's not the ebuild's fault that ddd makes use of the libelf library when it is available. [snip] Should some bugs be filed? And if so, should they go: - To the ebuild maintainers? But they probably cannot do much about it, apart from patching the package's autoconf stuff. - To upstream? Well, would they consider this this a bug at all, or a mere problem with Gentoo's special build system, that wants to know all the dependencies? If ddd really links automagically against elfutils, you should file a Gentoo bug about ddd which needs it's autotools fixed. To save the Gentoo developers some time you can also file an upstream bug and add a reference to it in the Gentoo bug report. If upstream cares about automagic dependencies is another story, in Gentoo it is considered a bug. -- Daniel Pielmeier

My Oracle instance at work is working just fine and I know for a fact the compilers used for it and SuSE are not even in the same version series. - Compiling any package locally could not work on a binary distro. But they do. There are *some* special cases where the gcc devs break stuff at an ABI level between versions (usually related to C++ not to C). These are well known and heavily documented - the toolchain devs make sure of this. 3.3 to 3.4 was such a case, there was another minor case early in the gcc-4 series. By no means do this mean that the fix for those cases must now be applied every time. I must confess that I don't know if there is an ABI breakage between 4.1.2 and 4.3.2.

Your argument becomes true when all previous qt:4 ebuilds vanish from the tree, and so do all ebuilds depending on them. Until then, the meta ebuild is required, as it was with XOrg. Okay, let me try to make this more clear. First some example dependencies for the switch from monolithic to split qt which happened between qt-4.3 and qt-4.4: monolithic phase: DEPEND=x11-libs/qt:4 transition phase (monolithic and split qt coexist): DEPEND=|| ( ( x11-libs/qt-gui x11-libs/qt-opengl ) =x11-libs/qt-4.3* ) split phase (only split qt left): DEPEND=x11-libs/qt-gui x11-libs/qt-opengl In the monolithic phase there was no meta ebuild and everything depended on the monolithic qt ebuild. During the transition phase the dependencies have been separated to make it possible to use either the monolithic qt-4.3 or the split qt-4.4 without any ebuild depending direct on the new qt-4.4 meta ebuild but just the split parts which are needed by the application. After the removal of the monolithic qt-4.3 ebuild which already happened the ebuilds need to depend on the split parts only. So there should be no ebuild in the monolithic phase and almost all ebuilds in the transition phase that will be slowly converted to the split phase. So as far as I see the new qt meta ebuild wasn't needed at any time. -- Regards, Daniel

Re: [gentoo-user] a couple of baselayout2 problems
2009/3/30 John covici cov...@ccs.covici.com: Hi. Several months ago, during an update, I converted to baselayout2 -- openrt, etc. This has caused a couple of annoying problems. When I shutdown the computer with shutdown -r now it does not completely shut down, the last message I get is init: no more processes at this run level. How can I fix such a thing? The other problem is that once in a while a service dies -- named did this -- and it would not let me stop the service and when I tried to restart I got the message that the service was already started and it would not start. How do I tell openrt or whomever that something has already stopped? Any assistance on these would be appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] ebuild syntax question
2009/3/26 Helmut Jarausch jarau...@igpm.rwth-aachen.de:
Hi,
the sci-libs/mathgl-1.8-r1.ebuild contains
DEPEND=${RDEPEND}
doc? ( app-text/texi2html virtual/texi2dvi )
python? ( dev-lang/swig[python] )
octave? ( dev-lang/swig[octave] )
What does dev-lang/swig[python] mean?
Since dev-lang/swig/swig-1.3.39 does not
use the useflags 'python', etc, anymore,
emerging sci-libs/mathgl tries to downgrade to
swig-1.3.36 which gives conflict elsewhere.
Do I really need to mask swig-1.3.36 or
is sci-libs/mathgl-1.8-r1.ebuild too old?
Many thanks for a hint.
(Should I generate a bug report?)
IMHO this is one drawdack of EAPI 2 use dependencies. The ebuilds
needs a package with a particular use flag but some versions of said
package do not use this flag and portage gets in trouble. So this is
clearly a bug.
I am not sure but a fix would be something like this:
python? || ( =dev-lang/swig-1.3.39 dev-lang/swig-1.3.39[python] )

I'm using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r9, sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8 and x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-0.15.2-r2 although I have tried x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.0.0 to no avail.

If you want xorg-server and hal working you need: xorg-server built with hal use flag and evdev as input-device. comment out the input sections in xorg.conf. a fdi file placed at /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi (basically the configuration done in xorg.conf prior is now done in this file) [1] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/config/x11-input.fdi -- Regards, Daniel

After that the character appears. When holding CTRL+SHIFT then typing U+Hexcode the character appears after releasing CTRL+SHIFT. From [2] N WITH TILDE, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER 00D1 N WITH TILDE, LATIN SMALL LETTER00F1 CTRL+SHIFT+U+00D1 = Ñ CTRL+SHIFT+U+00F1 = ñ [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input [2] http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html PS: Google is your friend Regards, Daniel signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
