I was able to get it to emerge by adding the following to my
/etc/portage/package.use:
kde-base/kgamma -handbook
The rest of the KDE-4.6.3 completed without further errors.

I still consider myself a newbie. I feel I learn more by researching the issue. In fact, I think I only posted to the lists one time 4 to 5 years ago. Being a retired investigator, I know I must consider all the evidence even if it proves my initial theory was wrong. Here, the fact that no one else was reporting the same issue ( similar, yes, but not the same) led me to consider that I may not really have a problem, or that I may have somehow introduced the problem myself. I knew that was unlike simply because I had not make any changes on my system. For me, 2 weeks of -uNDv world and no entries in elog/ seemed unusual. I did check for duplicate entries in /var/log/portage. Like you said, they were not identical - one was a summary and the other the complete log. Don't know why I didn't think to do my test with the nvidia-drivers or some other package I know always puts a .log file in elog/ earlier. I think I will unmask portage as you suggest and give it a try. That is why I have 3 Gentoo installs. I try to keep one clear of problems and use it to sync off the Gentoo mirrors. I sync the other 2 installs off the first one to save bandwith all around. I use them to work out issues or try new things. Your help, insight, suggestions are much appreciated. billyd
[gentoo-user] Re: No longer getting elog messages - Please cancel - Issue (Non-issue) resolved.
Special thanks to Alan and Nikos for offering help. This morning I came up with a great idea for a test. I decided to re-emerge a package that I know always logs a message to /var/log/portage/elog. The package was nvidia-drivers, and after the emerge completed, I checked /var/log/portage/elog and the expected message was there! So, it appears my system is working properly. I apparently just went through a period of time during which none of the packages brought in by emerge -uNDv world had any messages that needed to be logged. Sorry for the apparent unnecessary post. Sure is embarrassing, but I continue to learn and you guys gave some new things to try in the future. Grateful for the suggestions, billyd

Thanks again Alan, No I don't have genlop installed but I will try that. In /var/log/portage, I didn't actually compare the contents of the duplicates so maybe there is nothing wrong there. The elog/ directories on all three Gentoo installs are empty. Once I review the messages and take necessary action, I remove those entries. You say I am using unstable python and stable portage. I am just running what ~amd64 wants to emerge. So I think you are suggesting I unmask unstable portage so it can be installed. If so, I will put that on my list of things to try. I am beginning to wonder whether anything is actually wrong here. Usually, when I run in to some issue I find through the mailing lists, the forums, gentoo bugs or just google searches that someone else is experiencing the same thing. So far, I have not seen anything about this. Perhaps my lack of elog/ messages over the last few weeks is just the result that none of the emerged packages contain any messages that would be logged. Thanks for you kind help. Please don't spend any more time with this . I'll play around with this including your suggestions. If the situation persists, I will re-post. I don't rely on these installs for daily use anyway so I don't mind if I break something. I use Gentoo because I want to experiment with it and learn from the experience. Your help is much appreciated. billyd
[gentoo-user] No longer getting elog messages
Thanks for the reply, Alan. My hard drive space is adequate with at least 50% space available on the partition where /var lives. There are 2 versions of python installed but 2.6.5-r1 is the active one. dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r1, 3.1.2-r2 The Portage version is 2.1.8.3. I have attached results of my emerge --info for reference also. I am very perplexed about this especially since I had not made any changes to my systems. Recall that this happened to all 3 of my Gentoo installs, not on just one. One install is on a different computer. The 2 on the same computer use different partitions. I estimate the problem began about 2 weeks ago, but I can't be sure. I am aware that not all emerged packages generate error, log or warn messages. I just realized that nothing was being written to /var/log/portage/elog on any of my 3 Gentoo installs. Then I noticed that duplicate emerge logs were being written to /var/log/portage for each package that was emerge with # uNDv world. I had never seen that before. I suspect that some package that was emerged approximately 2 weeks ago has caused this change, but I still haven't found what has happened. If this were only on one of my Gentoo installs, I would suspect something with that computer. But when I update with -uNDv world, I do it on all 3 the same day. Now all 3 have the same identical problem. For what it is worth, I am the only one with access to these computers so I know it is nothing I have done. I must have missed some message or warning. Also, when I do the # emerge -uNDv world, and the emerge finishes, there are no errors reported in the Terminal - just a clean finish. I have seen some posts on the forums about people having problems with this: PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save mail" However, I don't use mail there - my entry in /etc/make.conf is: PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" I wonder if this could be a portage issue - maybe I should downgrade to a previous portage version. This is all very strange to me.

[gentoo-user] No longer getting elog messages
Hi, all: I used to get info, error and warn messages in /var/log/portage/elog after emerging packages or doing emerge -uNDvp world. Beginning about 2 weeks ago, I noticed I am no longer getting those elog entries. Additionally, I noticed that I am getting duplicate entries for each package that is emerged in /var/log/portage (of course, these are the compile logs). I have Gentoo installed on 2 computers, both using arch ~amd64. All 3 installations have KDE 4 (latest in portage for ~amd64 arch). PC #1 uses this profile: default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop/kde PC #2 has two installs: Install #1 uses profile: default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop Install #2 uses profile: default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib This problem is happening on all 3 of my Gentoo installations and all started at the same time. The only changes have been through doing updates. I sync nearly every day followed my # emerge -uNDvp world. Other than issues with xorg-server 1.8.0 and the nvidia-drivers, all my updates have been successful. Note: I have masked xorg-server 1.8.0 in /etc/portage/package.mask until the nvidia-drivers catch up. I have searched the forums, checked bugzilla and googled on this topic and have yet to find a solution. My Gentoo installs are working just fine except for this issue. I have attached /etc/make.conf from only one of the installs as they are all the same. Here are the 3 lines I have in my make.conf files as they relate to logging the elog messages: PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage" PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="log warn error" PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save" Thank you for the help. billyd # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically # built this stage. # Please consult /usr/share/portage/config/make.conf.example for a more # detailed example.

Ralph Seichter I too have an A8V-Deluxe and have had problems with various distros (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and others) trying to get the Marvell Yukon controller working. About a year ago while doing some google searches trying to resolve this same problem, I found an article some guy wrote about the problem. I'm sorry but I don't have that info or the web site anymore. He said the problem was that ASUS had done something to the chip that caused many linux distros to be unable to probe what he called its PID. His description was too technical for me. His ultimate suggestion, which I followed, was to go out to your favorite computer store, purchase a NIC card (about $20 US) off the shelf, install it in your computer, and disable the on-board Marvell Yukon controller in the BIOS. This may not be the solution you want. I did it and have never had another problem installing any distro, including Gentoo, and getting my network up and running. Good luck!

Being kind of a Gentoo newbie and not a programmer or developer, I am not sure what the problem could be. I have tried this on two different computers and always get the same result. Since everything seems to work except for the recurring revdep-rebuild issue, I am choosing to ignore it at this time. I did look into the drivers on the nVidia web site per rob's suggestion. The extensive install notes showed me a possible solution. It involves checking for conflicting libraries and/or symlinks. Sounds like it could be what I am experiencing. I will experiment with that although I am not sure I will know what I am doing. No matter though. I am retired and am experimenting with Genoo on "testing" machines, so it doesn't really matter if I break something. I have learned a lot about Gentoo this way and I am getting better with it. I was thinking someone else may have experienced the same problem and had found the solution. Thanks, all! I will keep my eyes on the gentoo-user list. If I succeed in solving this issue, I will let you all know. Bill -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Install Order for Packages?
I've been playing around with Gentoo 2005.1 trying to get it installed using genkernel. I am a little beyond newbie with linux but still in a steep learning curve. I am at the point in this installation where I can start installing packages. The handbook uses kde as an example. My question: Is there an order in which packages need to be installed. For example, should x11-xorg be installed before kde? Thanks, -- BDW [EMAIL PROTECTED]
