[gentoo-user] Sun JDK 1.6.0.17 is build only

2009-11-10 Thread Manuel Fiorelli
Hello list,
I have installed the SUN JDK 1.6.0.17 but now it seems to be build only.


localhost ~ # java-config -L
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
1)  Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.03 [blackdown-jdk-1.4.2]
*)  Sun JDK 1.6.0.17 [sun-jdk-1.6]

VMs marked as Build Only may contain Security Vulnerabilities and/or be EOL.
Gentoo recommends not setting these VMs as either your System or User VM.
Please see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml#build-only for more information


I tried to downgrade to SUN JDK 1.6.0.15 but the problem persists.

The elog was a little long, thus it is possible that I miss to read some lines.

The problem seems to be disappeared after I add the service "consolekit" to
the same runlevel of dbus.

Note: it seems to me that consolekit was pulled in during the last
update, but I forget it...

Can this be the right solution? Does the Gnome HOWTO need an update?

Unfortunately, it doesn't solve my problem. How did you understand
that it is evolution
to prevent Gnome from shutting down?

[gentoo-user] Gnome doesn't shutdown

2009-10-23 Thread Manuel Fiorelli
Hello,
I noticed that Gnome doesn't shutdown anymore. When I press
System/Shutdown and I confirm in the prompt, the desktop is cleared
but the wallpaper is still visible and the machine doesn't shutdown.

This behavior appeared after an update; I waited for another update,
but the problem still persists. I wonder if I make an error during the
update or it is a bug affecting the last releases of the desktop
manager.

I run the version of gnome 2.26.3

Thanks in advance,

According to this bug report

My "/etc/conf.d/net" is

config_eth0=("dhcp")


and the output of `rc-update show default` is

   local | default
  net.eth0 | default
netmount | default


I can execute "ifconfig eth0 up" with success, but nothing seems to wok :-(

[gentoo-user] Cannot start net.eth0

2009-08-30 Thread Manuel Fiorelli
I installed Gentoo from a minimal CD on a HP Pavillion dv6. I chose to
use genkernel to automatically configure the kernel. Unfortunately,
during the boot, it seems that the dhcp client isn't able to contact
the DHCP server.

Running lspci, I can detect the network adapter:

03:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor CO., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)


It seems that the system has loaded the module r8169, even if it
doesn't match exactly my model.

If I start /etc/init.d/net.eth0 manually, I can see


* starting eth0
*   bringing ip eth0
* dhcp
* Running dhclient 
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Interesting... I found on the web a similar command-line, but I didn't
understand the meaining
of the traling comma.

I think that I will modifiy my ~/.mplayer/config too.

Assuming that you want to playback a H.264 video, then right command should be

mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau 

to force the selection of the HW accelerated codec from FFMPEG. Can
anyone confirm that?

Thanks for point out this. I didn't know that NVidia introduced such
an important feature.

Your command didn't work for me, too. First, I checked that my video
card was capable of supporting
this new API. Then, I updated the nvidia video driver and recompiled
mplayer. For mplayer, make sure
to activate the local use flag vdpau.

It's really strangemay be that revdep-rebuild can help you.

Try to execute it in pretend mode (with the flag --pretend) and see if
it discovers some broken packages.

I use "cheese", which let you take photos and videos. Under the menu
