Re: [gentoo-user] Doubt about FLAG use
Well, thanks to all of you. I've been playing with flags nad seems to do almost what I want. To be the firts time I install gentoo, anyway, things didi not seem s to go the way I wanted, or at least the way I expected to be. For example, I installed xfce4, following the guide in the handbook, and for some reasons I cannot use a picture as a background, cuz It has not support for it, the same happened to gqview, If I installa a graphic viewer, it' because ai want to se see graphics files :), after intalling gqview, I could not see a single picture, an ldd to gqview shows that it's compiled against cairo and other system libraries, no trace or jpeg, png,. Well, I deinstalled it, add it to the /etc/portage/fie I created, added png, gif, jpeg, tiff and other stuff I related to graphic support I found in /usr/portage/profiles/uses.desc or something like that. Then recomiled it again, now, with gqview I can display png files, and ldd shows it's compiled against lipng, but still cannot see jeg eventhouhgn libjpeg is installed. Well, it seems that to get a funcitonal system, I'm still far from it, d not have too much time to play with it, I need my laptop to wor, so, what's the best way to go,? Do you think I need to reinstall and start from the begining or start reinstalling and stalling again the software?

[gentoo-user] Doubt about FLAG use
Hi there guys.
I've been reading the handbook about the FLAGS featrure usage, very
powerfull indeed, but, I just was wondering if there a way to define
some flags for a particular aplication and not in general.
Lets take a real case, mplayer, I'd like to revome some stuff I do not
use/like, for example, ipv6/ftp, joyskit for exmaple, is there a way
to define this kind of thing like USE{mplayer}-ipv6 -ftp in
make.conf ?
Thanks for your time and support.

Well, after all I'm confused after reading the thread. Should I use this or not ? *USE=-ipv6 -ftp emerge -av mplayer* Thanks for your time and support.

Comments will also help you remember why you did stuff so when you jump to the next major version you can glance over package.use and see if anything jumps out at you. It all makes it easier to read and manage as your /etc/portage/* files gets more complicated. kashani -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] net-setup package
HI there guys. I've already installed gentoo, and wanting to setup the ethernet , trying to use net-setup seems not to be installed, which package do I nneed to install in order to have this util? It seems I missed something. Thanks for your time and support. Greets,
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: net-setup package
Yes, I did it manually as stated in the handbook, I'll take a look if I can copy net-setup from the install CD. Thank you very much. 2008/4/23, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Net Warrior [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: HI there guys.

Not sure if its a separate installable utility in portage.. but an `eix' search of the portage database comes up empty. The way I do is establish a network running the install image cd or iso then transfer those settings to the actual install.

Then put those setting into /etc/conf.d/net /etc/conf.d/domainname /etc/resolv.conf For manual setup: (assuming eth0 is the device you are going to use) ifconfig eth0 my.ip.address (in numeric notation like 192.168.0.2) up route add default gw my.gateway.addr (in numeric notation) (if /etc/resolv.conf does not already contain a nameserver to use) echo nameserver my.nameserver.address /etc/resolv.conf And finally, if all goes well.. complete the setup so that it starts on bootup with rc-update rc-update add net.eth0 default (to add it to the default run level) See if that gets you going... -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: net-setup package
Yes, I could set up my ethernet manually :), just wondering if the setup-eth0 utils was a part of a packages I missed to install, cuz after loging in to the new installed system could not find it, but, is not matter of death and life :) Gentoo seems to be ( my humble opinion withing my first 24 usage hours ) a very robust system, I come from a freebsd land, and so, in my need to use a linux distro ( tried ubuntu, a mess ) gentoo has all I have in freebsd, the portage is what I like most, the way to be up to date with ports ans system, emerge does a good job, like portsnap/pkg_tools does for freebsd. The only think I found, how can I say, weird, is the installation, the need to do all the stuff by hand, just a basic install like bsd does ( 100 MB ) and then install the rest fro the network, would be nice, I'm too lazy to do paritioning/swap/choot :) I'll needto go deeper with the FLAGS features, still do not understand some things, I have things by default by the moment, eventhough it's a powerfull feature, I know that I can screw it up the howle system. Anyway, I'm almost done, I'm still compiling my stuff, and I'm happy the way it does things, great job.
