Check which files it is protecting:

portageq list_preserved_libs /

Then identify which package they belong to (equery f filename).
Manually delete the protected files, then emerge --oneshot the

[gentoo-user] (Slightly OT) A question about Wikis (maybe)

2008-10-21 Thread gentoo_steve

I'm considering a project, and am keen not to end up re-inventing the wheel.

I'm looking to use collaborative techniques to put together a 'knowledge
base'... I require:

* Collaborative editing to grow the number of 'records' held.

* For the 'records' (pages) to be of a standard form - so that data of a
similar 'type' can be processed (summarised and filtered) based upon any
attribute (field).  The 'records' - however need to be flexible - in the
sense that a field might be a sequence of records (recursively) in a 
table...  The 'type' of a particular record will be known, and should 
have a common appearance and layout that can be edited independent of 
the data.  It must be possible to extend the type of records after data 
has been collected... as the system evolves... but these fundamental 
changes need only be possible for an administrator.


* Support for a hierarchy of users - such that only the
submitter/members of senior groups can view new data until it is
approved by a member of a senior group.

* Support for public comment  discussion on every page - a threaded
forum approach would be fine.

* (Ideally - not sure how this would be used) Support to drag in data
from third-party sites either using RSS or using web-services.

* Email notification of changes to pages where an interest is registered.

* Full version management.

I've briefly looked at Twiki and Xwiki (which show some promise - but
I'm not sure they're up to the job.) I'm familiar with Ruby on Rails -
though I suspect that it is too low-level for my purposes.  I would like
to avoid focusing on the implementation details as much as possible and
focus on the design of the collaborative system using the highest-level
RAD approach I available today.

Have others addressed a similar problem (using gentoo)?

 That used to happen to me when I was using a piece-of-junk D-Link
 router. It was one of those $29.99 consumer-grade deals. It would
 reboot itself constantly when it was under any kind of load. I
 replaced it with a $50 router with DD-WRT and things have been fine
 ever since. Might not have anything to do with your problem, but I
 figured I'd mention it. Check your router logs to see if it's having
 any problems.

And also : somewhere in /var/tmp/portage/app-office/abiword you should

[gentoo-user] openoffice 3.0 problem

2008-10-21 Thread Michael George
Yesterday I saw that openoffice 3.0 was unmasked for amd64 so I built
and installed it.  It seemed to work fine on a couple test documents
that I opened, but then I ran into a problem with the one which has my
household expense spreadsheets.

I opened it and the data on one of the sheets was there for sure, but
there was no tab bar for moving between the sheets.  I saved a copy of
that spreadsheet into a new file to see if a natively-stored file will
have the same problem.  It did.  I looked to see if there was an option
to turn on the sheet tab bar, but I didn't find any.

So I rebuilt 2.4.1 and tested it on the spreadsheed which I saved with
OOo 3.0.  It also didn't show the tab bar at the bottom!  When I opened
my original with 2.4.1, though, it appears fine.

Has anyone else encountered this type of problem?

Is it running on your local machine? I think the amount of data
downloaded should be the same for any client which uses the same
protocol, I would think.

Obviously you can disable image loading for HTML emails. You could
also set it to download headers only, and bodies only when you open a
message. You can set Thunderbird to not check for new mail except for
when you tell it to.

You might also consider a web-based e-mail solution.

Figuring out where the slowness is worst (do you have 1000 emails in
your inbox?) and try to come up with a way to avoid it.

I've used mutt over a 14Kbps link with latencies in the
200-300ms range. You'll need to configure it so that it doesn't
check for new mail very often, and limit the number of
mailboxes it's checking for incoming mail.  You'll also want to
make sure that header caching is enabled.  I think the cache
supoprt is built by default these days, but you'll need to
enable it by setting the header_cache configuration variable in
your .muttrc file so that it points to the file where you want
the header cache database stored.

When I use my gprs connection (5kb/s max download speed on well covered
areas) I feel confortable with mutt over gmail's imap.

Obviously I avoid opening messages with big attachments (mutt shows the
size of the message in a summary without opening it)

 So the -I ignores the versions of packages installed and just fixes packages

Yes, I'd think for example in terms of the difference between emerge
foo and emerge =foo-1.2.3. AFAICT, python-updater does the latter
by default, but with the -i option it is given a permission to do the
former within a slot.

Since most packages only have a single slot, the within a slot
becomes irrelevant for them.

 I understand that slots can be used to install different versions of an app
 but not sure how that relates to python-updater.

Sorry if I lead you too much into this slot territory. The slots are
more of a red herring here, or just a small, distracting detail. For
most packages slots won't matter.

But there are the few, like qt, for which it is important to keep
within a slot. Therefore it is nice that helpful scripts, like
python-updater, try to provide automagic support for the slotting
related stuff where it is needed.

Still, python-updater -i is not guaranteed to fix your original
problem, it was just a suggestion. The problem might not even lay with
libxml2, but one of its dependencies, their dependencies, or
dependencies of python itself.

If you haven't already tried it, then revdep-rebuild from the
gentoolkit package is your other friend. You might need try running it
first and then retry with the python-updater.

Sorry, I don't quite understand your setup:

Are you:

  a) Running a remote desktop / X over ssh type scenario where you run
  Thunderbird from a server on your client over a slow internet
  connection? If so, then certainly using a text-based client like
  Mutt will help. 

  b) Reading mail that is stored remotedly on a local computer? via
  IMAP? In this case I cannot say, not having used Thunderbird or
  squirrelmail. This really depends on how efficiently the individual
  clients are coded, and the best way to find out is to just try them
  out and see if you get an improvement. Theoretically the limit
  imposed on the mail clients by your slow internet connection should
  be the same.

  c) doing something else completely?

Can you explain what you mean by Thunderbird loading? Loading what?
The program itself? Or a particular e-mail? 

As it stands, your e-mail really doesn't give us much information
about what your setup is and what you would like to improve. 

One thing that I just thought of: often it maybe faster (if you have
the access) to ssh into the mail server and run mutt there compared to
using IMAP. Especially with e-mails with attached pictures and HTML
mark-up: if you parse those on the server with lynx and send only the
text through the ssh, it will often be faster than downloading the
entire mail and parsing it locally.

[gentoo-user] xinerama USE-flag needed for KDE 4.1 and xrandr?

2008-10-21 Thread Fabian Köster
Hi everybody,

I would like to setup a dual-head desktop using X.org 7.4 and KDE 4.1.2.

I successfully achieved to configure my dual-head setup using xrandr.

Basically it looks like this:

xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of LVDS 

The VGA-0 screen's resolution is 1680x1050, the notebook-display is 1400x1050.

As said before this works fine but KDE 4.1.2 treats the two screens as one 
single screen so the panel is centered in the middle of the overall-desktop 
and windows maximize over both screens. (See screenshot 
http://koesterreich.de/gentoo/screenshots/big-desktop.png)

The desired behavior is that the panel is just on one screen (optionally more 
panels on the second) and the windows only maximize on the screen they are 
currently located.

Do I have to compile KDE (and maybe other packages) using the 'xinerama' USE-
flag? In that case I would say this is confusing because I think that xinerama 
is deprecated and I would suggest to rename it to something like multi-head.

If it is of interest: I have a ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 and addressed by the 
'radeon' driver.

Regards,
Fabian

From /usr/share/doc/mdadm-2.6.7/README.initramfs.bz2: The preferred
way to assemble md arrays at boot time is using 'mdadm' or
'mdassemble' (which is a trimmed-down mdadm).  To assemble an array
which contains the root filesystem, mdadm needs to be run before that
filesystem is mounted, and so needs to be run from an initial-ram-fs.

 I ran quickpkg and emerge -C on qt-4.3.3, then emerge -upDvN world again. 
 The block is still there, exactly the same as before.

Let me quote Alan here:

 I main underlying reason seems to be that Qt now comes as split-ebuilds and 
 Peter has some monolithic ones installed. It's similar to migrating KDE to 
 split-ebuilds, but on a much smaller scale. Unfortunately there's no easy way 
 to automate this in an ebuild, that would require several new unrelated 
 packages replacing one big one, portage doesn't support that kind of thing. 
 So one has to do it manually, and deal with the resulting recdep-rebuild 
 issues as well 

The problem is that portage is probably not smart enough to do the
upgrade from the non-split to the split ebuilds, so the world update
will always run into this blocker even when qt-4.3.3 is not installed.
Maybe some ebuild depends on =qt-4.3.3 so it is pulled in and another
one depends on =qt-4.4.x which also gets pulled in and thus the
blockers. This should be no problem in the normal case as the highest
needed version would be installed. But the new split ebuilds have no
relation to the old monolithic which is probably causing the problems in
this case. The highest available version for monolithic is qt-4.3.3 and
so it is pulled in alongside the new split ebuilds which are also needed
because of a =4.4.x dependency of other programs.

I remember such problems to when migrating to qt split ebuilds and
simply running emerge world was not enough but I do not remember the
exact procedure which solved this. There were some issues with PyQt4 but
I am not sure if this was related. One thing I would give a try is to
give portage a hand and emerge some of the qt split ebuilds with the
oneshot option. In your case the qt split ebuilds which are blocked:

x11-libs/qt-script-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-dbus-4.4.2,
x11-libs/qt-qt3support-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-sql-4.4.2,

x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.4.2, x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.4.2

and then see if portage will be able to continue with the world update.

 I've started building a new system from scratch on another disk, and I'm now 
 about ready to start installing KDE on it. Maybe a clean start is what I 
 need.
 

I think this could be solved without a reinstall but it is up to you.

[gentoo-user] python 2.6 and python-updater

2008-10-21 Thread David Relson
I've just updated from python-2.5 to 2.6.  Since emerge ran fine, I
ran python-updater.  It's encountering problems with lots of
packages.  For example, emerge -1 setuptools ends with:

## begin emerge output ##

This looks like a permissions problem
in /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/.  I normally run emerge as
'relson', but this time I ran emerge as 'root' -- so I don't think
it's a simple permissions problem.

Has anybody else emerge python-2.6 and run python-updater?  Any idea
of what I may be doing wrong?  Is it time to head for bgo?

[gentoo-user] Installing packages for old Python version

2008-10-21 Thread Peter Wood
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,
I am trying to install Plone which depends on Python 2.4. Portage
installs Python 2.4 in a slot in addition to Python 2.5 which my system
uses as a default. Plone also depends on 2 other packages
(Python-Imaging and Python-Elementtree). However, if I emerge these they
end up in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages.
Is there a way to change the default python version temporarily so that
emerge merges the correct version of these packages into
/usr/lib/python/2.4/site-packages, where I need them?
Thanks for any help in advance.

2008-10-21 Thread RYAN vAN GINNEKEN
Hello all have been trying to figure out how to use ssmtp as i need to get 
email off my system 

Linux huang 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 #1 SMP Sun Oct 19 06:11:05 Local time zone must be 
set--see zic  i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux.

Seems there is no mail command must be a package i need to emerge or something. 
 I am running a program that needs to send email and it seems to be doing 
alright here is its output in /var/log/messages

10/21/08 18:53:37.211088 zmfilter[13976].INF [Creating notification email]
10/21/08 18:53:37.212328 zmfilter[13976].INF [Sending notification email

10/21/08 18:53:37.224119 zmfilter[13976].INF [Notification email sent]

However there is no mail log to be found on my system and nothing from ssmtp 
seems to be showing up in the messages log.

Thank you in advance

 Looks good, but what about ~/.rhosts?

 BTW: Did you restart xinetd after installation of rsh?
Yes.
