[gentoo-user] wxGTK-2.6.2 always requires gtk2
Hello all! I am trying to emerge wxGTK-2.6.2 with -X use flag (that should install only wxbase -non-gui libs- ) but it stills trying to emerge gtk+. In wxGTK-2.6.1 you can use -gtk2 and -wxgtk1 USE flags to avoid this to be installed. Is there any reason for 2.6.2 to work in this way? bug in ebuild? mymachine ~ # emerge -pav wxGTK --pretend disables --ask... removing --ask from options.

[gentoo-user] text-only email parts in evolution 2.4
I recently upgraded gnome to 2.12 (went smoothly, looks great!) and with it came evolution 2.4.1. One of the features of 2.2.3 that I found great was the only show text parts of messages plug in. This is the first time I saw evolution support such a (long wanted) feature. However, it appears that plugin got in by accident, and although I'm sure a huge number of evolution users want it, have asked for it, and use it, it was never meant to be there and is not officially supported (and hence was taken out of 2.4) Excuse me for asking a dumb question, but why? This seems to be a basic feature supported by every real email client on earth, so why not evolution? So what if some people don't want it - that's why its an option... All flame wars about html vs text emails aside, how do I get it back? I've been trying to find out how to get / use plugins for evolution, but there doesn't seem to be much help about it. And also, if so many people want such a feature, why isn't it a patch from gentoo? Is there some fundamental understanding that I'm missing? Any help, or enlightenment about the topic, would be much appreciated, Thanks, -- Iain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Clearly, I did this to myself. But now I don't know how to set it right. I suspect all the pieces are here, but a quick look at distfiles didn't even show that version of xchat, so I don't know how to proceed. The syntax of the offending line looks enough like the ones around it that I can't intuit a quick edit fix. Maybe somebody could email the correct ebuild, or quick instructions for forcing a new unpack or whatever seems best? While I'm here: the reason I was looking was that I was wondering what the USE flags xchatdccserver, xchatnogtk and xchattext do, and was hoping the ebuild itself might tell me. It didn't, or at least not very well. Especially the xchattext one. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
Re: [gentoo-user] How to set an application to be on all workspaces?
I am using engage (from enlightenment) as a toolbar ... and toolbars don't usually have titlebars. Ah, must have been missing out on the word toolbar. Not shure what it means acutally =) Is there another way to make a given window sticky in fluxbox (via a menu or something)? Otherwise, looks like it's still a job for devilspie (and that is kinda what devilspie is for, anyway, so) Holly Then you could define a key-sequence for setting the sticky property. If fluxkeys is installed, use it and add a kombination for stick If not, you can edit ~/.fluxbox/keys by hand and add something like: Mod1 Shift s :stick Then alt-shift-s makes the active window sticky.

Re: [gentoo-user] ifconfig vs iproute2
iproute2 is newer and while it takes over all of the abilities of ifconfig, it is modularized and designed for controlling advanced router features as well as basic interface related stuff. The capabilities of it are vastly superior to ifconfig, and sometimes the notation is simpler. Setup eth0, and activate it: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up route add -net 0/0 gw 192.168.1.254 ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 brd 192.168.1.255 ip link set eth0 up ip route add default via 192.168.1.254 There is a type of NAT [aka FastNAT] that you can use with iproute2 - involving no iptables/netfilter support. You can setup multiple defoult routes, rudimentary load balancing, and other stuff. For a better concept of the abilities of iproute2 - please see http://lartc.org The Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control site. thanks, joshua On 10/12/05, Martins Steinbergs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hiwhat is the difference in general between these - ifconfig and iproute2?i used old style /etc/conf.d/net and it worked well until system last update irun - net was gone. made new style /etc/conf.d/net but ifconfig version refused to work, lucky i got windoze on other drive to get iproute2 sourcefrom mirror. ok, now net is working but im still confused about ifconfig notworking, got these setings for single box connected to i-net, is there somethin' wrong?hotplug_eth0=yesmodules=( iproute2 )here i tried both modulesconfig_eth0=( some_IP netmask some_IP broadcast some_IP )routes_eth0=( default via some_IP::/0)martins--gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Unfortunately, the AMD documentation (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_739_7203,00.html) doesn't really specify what the throttle and shutdown temperatures are of the processor.

RE: [gentoo-user] X will NOT run in framebuffer mode
Knowing what video chip is involved, what kernel module you're trying to use with it, and what settings you have in Xorg (the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be good here), would be useful info to have in order to attempt to help; we are not psychic (this week, as far as I know). Also, are you trying to run in framebuffer mode (and it's not working, obviously), or are you not supposed to be running in framebuffer mode (so you're making an incorrect request when starting the X server, which needs to be corrected)? Holly I finally got around to rreading the X.org site ... Basically I was being lazy ... I ran the text based setup utility xorgconfig and tracked down the video card and monitor hsync and vsync and everything's fine. Sorry for wasting your time.

[gentoo-user] How do I use the PACKAGE CD contents
I'm trying to use the contents of the 2005.1 packages CD. This may be a silly question but do I simply copy the files I want to use into the directory /usr/portage/distfiles or is there a emerge command that allows me to take them directly off the CD?

I finally bought my first Mac - a Mac Mini - and I'm fiddling around with external 1394 drives. If I use MSDOS as a file system for the drive then I have no trouble mounting the drive on any of my systems, but it made me wonder if I can format the drive using an Apple native partition type and mount that under Gentoo? Is it possible? I had been assuming that since OS X is based on BSD Linux that it would be happy mounting ext3 drives but it doesn't mount them at all, at least using their default tools that recognized a 1394 drive when it's plugged in. Thanks in advance for info in this area. I've never used a Mac and bought this one on a whim after selling my x86 laptop. Not sure if I'm going to continue running OS X on it or whether I might try Gentoo. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] ODBC Connection to MySQL database
Hello all, I am trying to set up an ODBC connection to a MySQL database. I have done this before when I used Fedora Core, but when I tried to do it today on my Gentoo system, I got an error message when I tested the connection. I have both UnixODBC and myodbc installed. The instructions that I previously followed to set this up in Fedora were as follows: create 2 files - odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini These files were supposed to be in /etc. In Fedora Core, there were templates to use, but I had to completely create the files in Gentoo. In the odbcinst.ini file, the line for the driver when I did this in Fedora Core was: Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc.so In Gentoo, there is no libmyodbc.so. There is, however, a libmyodbc3.so which is a symlink to libmyodbc3-3.51.11.so Therefore, I used /usr/lib/libmyodbc3.so as the driver. In the odbc.ini file, the proper name of the database was listed. After creating the odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini files,, I ran 'isql MySQL-home home' which was supposed to test the connectivity to the database and I got the error [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect When I did a google search for the error message, I came across a post where it was asked what the output of isql -v was. I ran this on my system and got the following message: [IM010][unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name too long I've posted to the UnixODBC support list, but my reason for posting here is to ask if anyone knows whether the instructions that I used to set this up should have been done differently in Gentoo. And for what it's worth, although the database was created when I used Fedora Core and then, copied into the appropriate place in Gentoo, the database works fine when I use it from within MySQL.

Should I be worried about these figures? The heatsink feels only slightly warm to the touch and I am sure it is seated correctly so I wonder if the BIOS is reporting the right temperatures. Does anyone have the same board that can help me out here? as long as your box is stable, it does not matter, what the sensors say. They are lying all the time. They are so much off the real value most of the time, that the only temperature that maters, when your box starts to behave strangely. Note down that temperature, and do everything to not reach it.

However konsole and others in 'X' are set to xterm so something is being set as X loads. I couldn't find xterm in any of the /etc/env.d files, so its not being picked up there anyhow. -- We shall take only the greatest minds, the finest soldiers, the most faithful servants.
