Mozilla has become Seamonkey, it might be that you need to remove Mozilla to allow the updated ebuild (and name change) to take effect. I have noticed there is one package (gtk-sharp i think) that still depends on Mozilla instead of Seamonkey, I have just created a temp ebuild, a copy of the original with the mozilla to seamonkey change and stuck it in my overlay.

Exactly the same message I noticed less than 1hr before my Maxtor
DiamondMax 9 packed in just before xmas. Annoyingly my drive wouldn't
mount the main data partition but everything else seemed in tact. I
managed to recover all my data from the drive using dd once i had a new
drive.
I'd recommend backing up anything thats essencial on the drive and
preparing for it to give up the ghost.
The drive is a 160 GB PATA Samsung. It's about two or three years
old, running 24x7 (although lightly). The drive has three
partitions, all are ext3.
When I started seeing the above messages, I ran
fsck.ext3 -f -v -c -c /dev/hda?
on all three partitions. Note that the "-c" flag includes the bad
blocks check.
I also ran
smartctl -t long /dev/hda
On the drive. Apparently, an error was found (details below). I'm
not sure if this drive is actually dying, though, as the following
article (by the smartmontools author) suggests that one or two
errors on a drive is nothing to worry about. Also, the SMART
overall-health self-assessment test comes back as PASSED.
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6983
But the constant kernel messages, along with the error in the "long"
SMART test, concern me. At this point, I'm not really sure what my
next steps should be, so I'm looking for any suggestions or advice.
Thanks!

Taken from the OOo ebuild
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
>=sys-apps/findutils-4.1.20-r1
app-shells/tcsh
dev-util/pkgconfig
curl? ( net-misc/curl )
zlib? ( sys-libs/zlib )
sys-libs/pam
!dev-util/dmake
java? ( >=virtual/jdk-1.4.1 )
!java? ( dev-libs/libxslt )"
thus is OOo thats bringing in pam.
I suppose, if you don't want pam, you could try removing the
sys-libs/pam line from the ebuild and seeing what happens :)

Scrolling through the several screen's worth of stuff I find a few 'redundant' packages, like Mozilla and Epiphany (I use Firefox).

How do I block these two from being compiled, despite the fact that they are listed as 'dependancies' in packages I use? Instead of using Gnome, try using the gnome-light package.

I'm sure things will improve over time. But in the graphics industry time is something that you don't have - if you buy a card you want it to work there and then.

Re: [gentoo-user] ntfs mounted partition
Writing to NTFS partitions is not recommended - what writing that is supported is very limited. Only over writing files and to exactly the same size iirc. If you need to share data between Win and Lin, a FAT32 partition (or network drive) is probably your best bet. -- Tim Igoe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tim.igoe.me.uk - Personal Site http://tv.igoe.me.uk - UK TV Guide "Computers are like Air-con, open windows and they stop working!"

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT]Which TV recorder
MythTV is a very useful package for recording TV, and pausing on demand TV (you never know when you'll get that annoying phonecall while watching your favourite program) It needs mySQL to store all its data (TV Listings and whatnot) - it downloads listings from a selection of sites using xmltv and stores them in the database along with other info (channels / what to record etc). Another advantage to myth is you can have the backend on one box, and watch from another over a network. Aswell as mythtv, there is an alternative called Freevo (http://freevo.sourceforge.net/) - I haven't tried this, but from what I gather its very similar to mythtv. Hope that helps you a bit. -- Tim Igoe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tim.igoe.me.uk - Personal Site http://tv.igoe.me.uk - UK TV Guide "Computers are like Air-con, open windows and they stop working!"

Re: [gentoo-user] A binary choice for a DVD burner... URGENT!
