[gentoo-user] KDE VM Plasmashell corrupt
I have Gentoo with KDE running in a Virtualbox VM. It's a new install, created and updated with the most recent packages less than a week ago. When I first start up the VM, the KDE desktop will not respond to the mouse. There's a rectangular box in the bottom right corner that's shaded darker than the rest of the desktop. It appears as though there may be a dialog box there that is not properly displaying. Neither left or right clicking on the desktop, the menu app, the icons on the desktop, etc. has any effect. The system doesn't even seem to register the clicks. (I've also tried clicking on just about every pixel in the shaded dialog-box area.) However,if I put the cursor over the three parallel lines in the upper left corner of the desktop, the icon changes shade and shows the shadow. It doesn't respond to clicks, however. I can press the Alt-F2 shortcut key and bring up the Run App dialog box. I can run Konsole from there. Once I bring up Konsole, I can move, resize and otherwise manipulate the window with the mouse as normal. I can select text in the window by clicking and dragging. But I still cannot do anything with mouse clicks outside the window. In console, I can kill the plasmashell and manually restart it. Once I do that, the desktop responds to the mouse normally until I restart the VM. I've logged in as root and completely deleted ~/.kde4 (under my normal login) and rebooted without fixing the issue. Since restarting plasmashell causes everything to work normally, I believe this is a KDE issue and not a Virtualbox mouse issue. I suppose it's possible something isn't working right with the virtual mouse when KDE first starts and it is working right later when I restart plasmashell, but that seems unlikely. If it matters, the host machine is also Gentoo running KDE. Any ideas or suggestions for resolving the issue greatly appreciated.
[gentoo-user] zlib use flag

That syntax means if you want hwdb support in udev you must disable zlib
for pciutils. I have no idea why the two are incompatible, but it sounds
to me like an implementation detail thingy.
hwdb is for:
sys-fs/udev: read vendor/device string database and add it to udev
database
Evidently, if zlib is enabled then a file which udev needs to read to pull the
vendor/device string will be zipped up and udev can't unzip or read it.
In any case, if you need -zlib in one package and zlib in another you can
set/unset the needed flag for just one package in /etc/portage/package.use.
Yeah but this error just occurred and I haven't recently installed anything
which should have caused it, so I'm trying to figure out why the change. You
can specify use files for one package but it's not usual, at least to my
knowledge, just to get common packages to both be installed.
I went the other route and disabled hwdb.

[gentoo-user] Display name and Wacom tablet
I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti running nvidia-drivers 275.09.07. It supports dual monitors via Twinview. I have a Wacom Inspire3 6 x 8 Tablet.

[gentoo-user] Firefox
Can anyone explain why it takes so long for Firefox-bin to be unmasked? That's not intended to be a rant or finger-pointing, but a serious question. I can certainly understand the issues involved with ensuring that a complex package compiles on various systems with all sorts of different drivers and set-ups. But the -bin package is a precompiled binary that's merely installed. It seems like it should be pretty simple and straightforward to ensure that it works and unmask it. Firefox just released 5.0 and announced that all development, including bug fixes and security updates, had halted on 4.0. They plan to hold to similar short-release cycles in the future. It's been four months since 4.0 was released and it's still masked. If future releases see similar delays in unmasking, Gentoo users will soon be two or three versions behind. We'll be forced to either manually install, unmask the masked package, or run a potentially buggy, insecure version. Any insight into the delay of unmasking the binary verion that would help me understand the issue greatly appreciated. -- It seems to me that it is madder never to abandon one's self than often to be infatuated; better to be wounded, a captive and a slave, than always to walk in armor. - Margaret Fuller

-exec (which potentially has problems with race conditions - -execdir should
almost always be used instead) runs the command once for each file found.
xargs will call the command once for as many files as it can fit on the command
line. For some instances, like rm, that probably isn't significant. But if
you're calling a complex process with lots of files, the overhead of starting
the many extra processes may be significant.

For some reason, the default menu.lst created with the stage 3 install had the title line commented out. When I added the new genkernel to the file, I copied and pasted, then edited the kernel line. My guess is that grub uses the title line as the flag to break between options. With both title lines commented out, it saw a single option block with multiple kernel statements. Uncommenting the title lines corrected the issue. -- The unnatural, that too is natural. - Goethe

[gentoo-user] Spellcheck not working in Kmail
Options/Automatic Spellchecking is checked and the status line at the bottom of Composer shows Spellcheck: on. Manually selecting Tools/Spelling shows the message Spell check complete. But no mispelled words are marked, including nonsense strings like lakjdfh. ispell is installed. I can go to a command line and run the ispell program, which allows you to manually enter words. Correctly spelled English words get a response of OK. MIsspelled words get a response of Not Found. That seems to indicate that ispell is installed, the English dictionary is installed, and all is functioning normally. Anyone have a clue why it's not working in Kmail Composer? -- A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

[gentoo-user] Training Spamassassin via KMail
I have Spamassasin running on my mail server rather than on my desktop box. I therefore can't run the Anti-Spam Wizard on KMail, since it correctly fails to detect a spam filter as installed. I have a mailbox configured on my server for spam. Any mail sent to that mailbox is used to train Spamassasin. Before upgrading to KDE 4, I had a button on my toolbar which activated a filter to forward missed spam back to the spam mailbox on my server. This transferred over on the upgrade but there was some sort of warning message on the filter that it could not be edited or it would be lost. I don't recall the exact message. I recently had a runaway process fill up my hard disk and KMail crashed because the hard drive was full. I fixed that issue but had to reconfigure KMail from scratch and lost my Spam button. I've been unable to find any info on the 'Net on how to recreate it. What I'd like is a button on my KMail toolbar that, when pressed, forwards the selected email to a specific email address and moves the email to the Spam folder. Any help in configuring this would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely something wrong on your box.
KDE-3.5 libs always go in /usr/kde/3.5/lib
KDE-4 libs go in /usr/lib or /usr/kde/4/lib depending on your
USE=kdeprefix
Symlinks are not likely to work, as karbon-1.6.2 wants to build against
KDE-3.5 stuff.

Try this if you want to save yourself a lot of editing:
eix -u | awk '/^\[/{print emerge -vauDN , $2}'
If want to redirect to an executable file, then use this:
eix -u | awk 'BEGIN{print # /usr/bin/bash\n} /^\[/{print emerge -vauDN ,

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux traffic shaper setup advice
On Monday 09 February 2009 12:34:01 Aleksey V. Kunitskiy wrote: Hi Gentoo community, I have several computers at home and one Gentoo-powered router. I want to setup a very simple traffic shaper that will give each computer almost equal(the best choice - with some weight coefficient on each ip address) speed, without counting number of connections and etc. So, someone using torrent won't load whole pipe. One most important problem with it that I have fixed speed to the world and fixed speed to local resourses in my city, so I can't fix my up/down link speed to one fixed number, I actually have 2 speeds, depending on the IP address I'm accessing to. Any suggestions? First, when you say you have a Gentoo-powered router, what exactly do you mean? Are you running a dedicated hardware router where you've installed Gentoo or are you using a PC with multiple NICs as a router? This may or may not be important, depending on exactly what you end up implementing. Personally, I'd recommend using purpose built router software, such as DD-WRT or Tomato. They're Linux based but they're specifically customize for routing and are probably going to be much easier to configure, and they run on a lot of different commercially available hardware. A $50 Linksys WRT54G with DD- WRT can match a $1000 Cisco router in capability and performance in many circumstances. Second, how familiar are you with networking in general and traffic shaping in particular? If I'm understanding you correctly, what you're trying to do above would be difficult and quite inefficient. For example, if you do a hard limit on bandwidth per IP, then much of your capacity will be idle because it'll be reserved for systems which aren't using it. For example, if system A is downloading a file, it would be restricted in speed if bandwidth is being reserved for systems B, C, etc., even if no one is using those systems! So unless all of your systems are in use maxing out their allotted bandwidth at the same time, you're always going to have bandwidth that is sitting idle. That's quite inefficient. If your goal is to ensure that a bittorrent download on one system doesn't bog down a VoIP call or a WOW gaming session on another system, then you'd be much better off going with some sort of CBQ (Class Based Queuing.) This won't put a hard limit on the bandwidth usable by any particular system or IP, but it will prioritize traffic and prevent bittorrent, etc. from clobbering all your bandwidth. There's a good introduction to traffic shaping with Linux here: http://lartc.org/howto/ Note that manually configuring traffic shaping with iproute2 can get quite technical and require some indepth rule writing. Depending on your level of knowledge and the time and effort you're willing to put in, that may or may not be an issue.
[gentoo-user] KDE 4.2 and 3.5
I have KDE 3.5 and 4.1 installed and am trying to upgrade to 4.2. I'm getting the following: =kde-base/kdebase-3.5.9-r4 (=kde-base/kdebase-3.5.9-r4 is blocking kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.0) Is there an issue with 3.5 and 4.2 being installed together? Is the above block a known issue that's being worked out as 4.2 is integrated into the stable tree? (I was unable to find a bug filed on it or any other hits on Google.) As a second question, can anyone point me to an informative reference on ~arch? It's impossible to search for the term on Google - the tilde gets ignored and the number of false positives are overwhelming. Although I've been using Gentoo for awhile, I don't really understand the difference between something being in ~arch and something being blocked. I'd like to make myself a little smarter.

I really don't understand your question, but I'll explain and if it sounds elementary it's because I don't understand what you're asking. The package is masked because there is a bug associated with it. Unless you are actually capable of fixing the bug (and by your post we'll assume no) then you are powerless until the bug is fixed by someone else. So your only real option at this point is to unmerge gnome-system-tools and possibly follow the bug until if/when it gets fixed. Isn't there also the option of leaving the existing package installed until the bug is fixed? If the package is currently working for him (the bug may be in some section of the program he seldom uses or it may only rear its head in certain configurations or circumstances which don't affect him,) why unmerge what's already there?
Re: [gentoo-user] Rate limiting TCP connections...
On Sunday 17 August 2008 16:32:11 Steve wrote: Norberto Bensa wrote: Is there a straightforward way to make my Gentoo box 'play fair' and not hog 100% of the bandwidth? If your router doesn't give you bandwidth and/or traffic shaping control, you can drop some packets. For example, the following rule will accept up to 50 packets per second and drop the rest. The TCP protocol will retry and slow down. iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m limit --limit 50/sec -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -j DROP Hmmm - that would likely be rather aggressive - I use the router to shift data between the two PCs at 100mbps - it is only the traffic eventually routed over ADSL which poses a problem. You could add a destination parameter with -d but that wouldn't catch any downloads of packages from other than your primary mirror, and I agree that this is not the correct solution anyway. Does anyone else have this problem? Yes, everyone using TCP :) You can read Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control for more info (http://lartc.org/). Snappy answer... but I'm pretty sure I've never seen this before - on a wide range of OS and network topologies. I didn't have the same problem with two Windows PCs connected to the same router - and it is always the Gentoo box that wins in the landgrab-war for bandwidth. This should happen. Absent any sort of Quality of Service mechanisms, TCP windowing should adjust so that all flows get a roughly equal share of bandwidth. Certain protocols, primarily p2p, will create multiple flows and so gobble up more than their fair share but even then you shouldn't get starvation to the point where DNS times out. Even if emerge were using bittorrent you shouldn't see that much congestion. It might also be worth mentioning that the Gentoo box serves DNS for my LAN - so, the DNS request will get from my Windows PC to my Gentoo box without any problem... so, it is actually a fight between bind on gentoo and the download of packages during emerge that pose my annoyance. I wonder, is it likely relevant that named is running as an ordinary user - while emerge is run as root? I'm not aware of any mechanism on Linux to set network priority based on the process owner. Linux does support QoS and various types of queues, so it might be possible to, say, set up a priority queue which would have the effect you're seeing. I'm not aware of any way to do queuing based on process owner but Linux is such a powerful and diverse system that no one is familiar with every aspect of it's capabilities. There's lots of stuff you can do that I'm not aware of. If it can be done, it certainly would not be the default setup of any sane package. It would be something you'd have to do yourself. I also noticed that incoming emails to my postfix mail server timed out during this period... timeout after RCPT from extern.server.org... It seems odd to me. It is odd, although unfortunately I'm not sure what to tell you as to how to go about fixing it. I think the first thing I'd do is to make sure that it really is congestion that's causing the problem. You could implement something similar to the iptables rule listed above temporarily and see if that causes the symptoms to change or disappear.

I've manually installed perl 5.10 so that I can use the nifty new features but left perl 5.8.8 as the default version on the system. (When I want to use 5.10, I put a shebang line in the script pointing to that executable.) Poking about on the system for a bit revealed that /usr/bin/perl pointed to 5.8.8 but somehow /usr/local/bin/perl was pointing to 5.10. I don't know why that caused the issue, or even why there's a perl executable in both places, but fixing that resolved the issue. Thanks for the assistance.

Hi, on my machine I use the Linux Colors schema for years and it works perfectly. If mark stuff it inverts the colors, i.e. grey text on black background gets black text on grey background. Yes, I've been using it for a long time as well without issues. I've never had this issue before. Just some (maybe unrelated) pointers: *) man dircolors (gentoo uses textcolors extensively) I'm familiar with dircolors. To the best of my knowledge, there's nothing in dircolors which configures how selected text is displayed. It's simply inverted text. That is, the background color and the foreground color are switched. A little more experimenting has shown that this is what happens on my terminal with any color other than the default light gray on black. For example, if I do a ls, the files show up in various colors based on dircolors. If I select colored files, they show up in inverse. But if I select non-colored light gray text, I get black on black. If I use 'less' to display a file, there's a status line at the bottom which shows the line number, etc. in inverted text. On my terminal, it's black on black and invisible. If I highlight it with the mouse, however, it shows up as light gray on black and is visible. If I switch to another tty (CTL-ALT-F2) and log in, dircolors settings work properly. Selected text with gpm shows up as inverse, and the status line at the bottom of the 'less' windows displays properly as well. So I don't think the issue is with dircolors. It's only with inverted normal text on konsole. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] No ogg sounds
New amd64 system with KDE, trying to get sound working. Almost there. First issue I had was that the sound driver apparently doesn't work if compiled into the kernel. If you compile it as a module, it does work. Second, I didn't have the -arts flag enabled before I compiled KDE. (Followed the install instructions at the Gentoo wiki. Not sure if it omits to mention it or if I skipped it when reading.) Then added new useflags for various codecs. (In the last couple of days, I've recompiled all or most of KDE three times.)

I believe it may have. From what I've read, merged frame buffers are to allow the use of 3D acceleration across multiple monitors by making it appear as one large monitor, which is what appears to be happening. When I right click the desktop and go to properties, it shows only a single monitor. Before, it showed two. As I said before, I don't really need 3D acceleration on this box. Additionally, I don't believe acceleration works on a display larger than 2048 in either dimension and my virtual desktop is 3360 x 1050. However, without the MergedFB setup, I get mirrored displays rather than a stretched display. The Dual Monitor Howto, which I linked to in my first post, says to use the MergedFB option, and it also says to turn on xinerama. If my understanding of MergedFB is correct and it's working as designed and presents a virtual single display, then xinerama isn't going to work because it can't distinguish between the two displays. So I don't know if my understanding of how this is supposed to work is incorrect, if the HowTo is simply FUBARed or what. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] ATI drivers
I have an ATI Radeon 9600 XT driving dual monitors. I had the setup working fine with the ati-driver binary drivers - single desktop spanning the two monitors with xinerama. Dialog boxes appeared in the center of whichever monitor I was on. Maximizing a window maximized it to the monitor, not the full desktop. A few weeks back, an upgrade to the ati-driver package broke the setup. The monitor running on the DVI output quit displaying. When I started X, I'd get the left screen, running on the VGA output. X thought the right screen was there - the mouse would disappear to that side, I could move windows over there, etc. but I had no display. When I first boot up, I get a mirrored text display - the same output on both monitors. After he upgrade to the ati-drivers, I'd get that on initial bootup but once I started X, the right monitor was asleep until I rebooted. Dropping out of X didn't wake it back up. After a bit of fiddling and digging and Googling, I put a line in package.mask to block the new version of ati-drivers, unmerged and re-emerged the package and got my desktop back working just as it should. At some point, however, the blocked packages interfered with other packages and their dependencies. By this time, an even newer version of ati-drivers had come out. I commented out the line in package.mask and allowed ati-drivers to upgrade. I didn't, at that time, restart X and everything continued to work fine. This weekend, I needed to do some other maintenance on the box and had to reboot. I lost my right monitor again. After more fiddling and digging and Googling, I gave up and tried to downgrade ati-drivers again. When I uncommented the line in package.mask, however, I couldn't emerge the package - it told me all versions were masked. Evidently, the old version I was using has been removed. I gave up on ati-drivers, unmerged it and compiled the open source kernel radeon driver. I tried to follow the directions here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors#With_the_Open_Source_Drivers but they're broken or at least unclear. After a great deal of futzing with my xorg.conf, I have my display largely back. There are two issues remainging, however. First, xinerama doesn't appear to be working, or to be only partially working. It appears to not realize that there are two monitors. Dialog boxes pop up in the middle of the virtual display, meaning half the box is on one screen and half on the other. A maximized windows covers the full display - both screens. I'll paste my xorg.conf in at the bottom of the message. I set the xinerama use flag when I first went to dual monitors with the ati-drivers package several months ago. The currently installed packages are compiled with it enabled. Also, note that I don't particularly care if acceleration is working or not. This is primarily a work machine. The second issue is that several packages seem to think they depend on ati-drivers. I don't believe this is a hard dependency, since I don't think that cdroast, for example, only works on machines with an ATI video card. I've checked and can't find any sort of useflag which might be triggering the issue. But I'm getting this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ddjones # emerge -uDvat world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies - !!!

[gentoo-user] eupdatedb

[gentoo-user] gcc upgrade
There are a number of packages that are apparently in the main tree which will not compile with gcc 3.3 (openal and atlantikdesigner are two that prevent me from completing an update world). The bugs for these are closed because they work with the new version and, evidently, that's good enough. I'd like to do the dreaded update to gcc 3.4. However, the guide at the gentoo.org website say to do: emerge -uav gcc If I use the -u switch, portage tells me there's nothing to merge. If I simply do an emerge -p, portage says that it's going to install gcc-3.4. How do I identify what's telling portage not to update gcc? If I follow the rest of the guide, is it safe (for reasonable definitions of the word) to emerge gcc without the update switch? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Dual screen display, one is offset
I have two Dell LCD widescreen displays (one's a 2005WFP, the other is a newly purchased 2007WFP) that I've just configured for dual screen display. I'm running an ATI videocard and using the fglrx driver. The monitor on the right is using the DVI interface, while the screen on the left is using the SVGA interface. I've gotten everything working except for the fact that the left screen is shifted to the right. That is, there's a large black stripe down the left side of the display which I cannot move the mouse into, and there's an equal sized chunk missing off the right side (which is the middle of the wide screen display). It's like the left half of the display is shifted about 20% to the right. This was my primary display until I got the second monitor today, and it did not display the offset problem when it was configured for a single display.

I'm probably missing some fundamental understanding of what's going on here. Thanks for any assistance. See the other replies for the monolithic ebuild explanation. Have done so. Thanks to all who replied. kdm is part of the kdebase package, the only thing you need to do to use kdm is set DISPLAYMANAGER in /etc/rc.conf # echo 'DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm' /etc/rc.conf The which command (as root) wasn't showing me kdm, so I assumed it wasn't installed. (/usr/kde/3.5/bin isn't in the path for the root user. I assume this is normal?) I've now modified /etc/rc.conf to use kdm. But I now have a problem. if I log in through kdm, kde 3.3 runs. However if I kill kdm, log into the console, and manually run startx, kde 3.5 runs. (I have exec startkde in my ~/.xinitrc.) After installing kde3.5, I piped the output of equery list kde through grep 3.3 and piped that output through xargs and emerge --unmerged them all. I then did the same with a grep for 3.4. emerge dutifully reported that it was removing all of the packages. equery agrees with emerge: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ # equery list kde [ Searching for package 'kde' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] dev-util/kdevelop-3.2.1-r1 (0) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdeutils-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdebase-pam-6 (0) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kde-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdebase-3.5.1-r1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdeadmin-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdetoys-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdegames-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdeartwork-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdeedu-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdewebdev-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdepim-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.1-r2 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.1-r1 (3.5) [I--] [ ] kde-base/kde-env-3-r4 (0) However, /usr/kde/3.3 and 3/4 are still there, and apparently fully populated.

Anyone have a clue why the old versions weren't removed? Is it safe to simply delete them? And why is kdm loading 3.3 instead of 3.5? (I've run etc-update to ensure that no config file updates are outstanding.) Is this possibly a path issue? If 3.3 is in the path instead of or before 3.5 in the environment that kdm runs under, 3.3 would probably load instead of 3.5.

OK, just grepped etc for /kde/3.3 and found that 3.3 is added to the path in /etc/profile.env. The warning in that file lead me to man env-update, which pointed me to the /etc/env.d directory. There is a file in there called 47kdepaths-3.3.1, which is apparently the offending party. Is it safe to simply delete the file? More importantly, why is it still there after I unmerged kde 3.3? And is this what is causing kdm to load 3.3? The 3.5 version of the kdepaths file in /etc/env.d is prefixed with 45. I assume that the files are processed from the lowest to the highest, in which case 3.5 should be in the path before 3.3, no matter which user is running. 3.5 appears first in the line in /etc/profile.env. Looking back over this message, I see that equery told me that kde-base/kde-env-3-r4 (0) was loaded. Is this the correct version? Is there a 3.5 version that's still masked or something? OK, my head hurts now.

I think I read that Deer Park is the name for Firefox that is used to get an GPL-type liscense - but is really Firefox. I'm aware that Deer Park IS Firefox but my understanding was that Deer Park was a nightly release build and not the official 1.5 release. I thought it was the equivalent of grabbing the most recent source (at the time the package was created) from CVS rather than getting the official release source. Am I confused? Part of the issue is that several of my extensions complained that they were only compatible with Firefox 0.? - 1.5 when I restarted Firefox. I have several packages that I maintain 'manually' (outside of portage) and I have experienced no portage 'confusion', i.e. Apache 2.2, mod_perl, mysql-5.1.5-alpha, etc. I install them to /usr/local and portage doesn't care.

[gentoo-user] Remore control of current desktop
Is there a utility that will allow you to take control of the current Linux desktop from a remote machine? This is the way VNC works in windows. Open VNC on a remote machine and you see the exact same thing you see on the local monitor, including any running programs. Under Linux, however, VNC (at least the versions I've tried) opens up a new desktop which is separate from the currently running desktop. This is a neat and useful tool, but it's not what I need. Are there, perhaps, any VNC app which offers this feature under Linux? Or some other way to do it? If it all possible, it needs to be OS independent (take control of a Linux server frrom a client running on Windows and vice versa.) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
