We need either the packages: x11-libs/libXaw =x11-misc/imake-1 (imake version 1 or greater) x11-misc/gccmakedep app-text/rman and if the 'server' USE flag is set: x11-libs/libXp ... so on ... x11-proto/scrnsaverproto. 2). OR, OR, OR, OR!!, OR: virtual/x11 If you look in /usr/portage/virtual/x11, there are currently two ebuilds in that directory: x11-6.8 and x11-7.0 x11-6.8 depends on =x11-base/xorg-x11-6.99, and x11-7.0 depends on all these: =x11-base/xorg-x11-7 x11-apps/xdm x11-apps/xdpyinfo x11-apps/xrdb x11-apps/xsetroot x11-libs/libFS x11-libs/liboldX x11-libs/libXevie x11-libs/libXprintAppUtil x11-libs/libXTrap x11-libs/libXvMC x11-themes/gentoo-xcursors x11-themes/xcursor-themes Chances are that if you've been a long xorg 7.0 user: 1). You had to type 'virtual/x11' in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided to stop Portage from blocking your emerge -uDN world with those annoying 'blocks' because something was preventing it from downgrading Xorg to the old 6.8.2 or 6.99. 2). You somehow ended up with virtual/x11 emerged in your system. Well, that's it. Portage sees in the ebuild that virtual/x11 is listed as a dependency, so are all the packages in virtual/x11. As soon as it sees it, it forgets about gccmakedep and those other dudes and keeps going and ends upu failing. But even if you had installed Xorg 7.0 by emerging virtual/x11-7.0, notice that gccmakedep isn't there, imake isn't there, and rman isn't there, so you would've ended up with the same thing. I checked virtual/x11-7.0 by doing `emerge -ep =virtual/x11-7.0 | grep gccmakedep` and got nothing. Same result for xorg-x11-7.0-r1 Well, heh.

I put a fresh x64 gentoo install to an amd64 machine about a month ago. Now I bought a Samsung CLP 510N network printer and tried to use under 64 bit gentoo. So, after hacking setup.sh (correct lib paths for 32 bit compatibility libraries) I installed the samsung's config programs, drivers etc., using cups as printing system. Now, the problem is: if I print out a document from openoffice 2, I got exactly the half pages. I mean, if I print out 3 pages, I got 1st page correctly, second contains only the upper half, the left simply missing. If I print one page, I got a half. This problem happens, when I print a test page under linux-config, which is the samsung provided utility. BUT. If I print a test page from Webmin (1.250), I got a full page, without problem. On my laptop, which is a 32 bit system, the printing working well to the same printer, using the same drivers, which are installed to the 64 bit system. I googled around and I found lot of cups related issues with amd64, mostly from year 2005. My problem definitely was not there. I dig at www.gentoo.org printing howto, but there is no solution. I also tried to find something at samsung site, there is nothing. Does anybody know this issue or have an idea, how to solve this situation?

[gentoo-user] curious thing during download
Hi folks, Kernel is 2.6.14-r3. I am using splash and, probably ore important, a background picture in a framebuffer on every virtual text console. A long download is running on one text console (ppp with an analogue modem). I am in X and switch back text console to check on the download. Each and every tie I do that, the download rate drops and stalls while TX on the modem goes on flickering. After a short while, stalling is over, the download rate jumps to an insanely high value and eventually drops down to the modem speed again. Usually that means an out-of-order package or a package got dropped because it was corrupted. Now y curious questions: Does switching fro X to a text console with framebuffer disturbs interrupt handling that badly that I get a buffer overrun on the serial port the modem is attached to?

I've tried tightVNC and freeNX, both over a relatively slow DSL link and on an old pentium2 450, and whilst both were usable there's no competition: freeNX wins hands down. I also like the fact that freeNX also lets you run single remote applications, instead of always having to start up a complete remote desktop - much closer to normal X-forwarding. The only downside to freeNX was it was more complicated to get working. (But that may have been due to the complicated things I was trying to do: everything had to be tunnelled through a firewall using ssh port-forwarding, and I needed to get my X server to talk to a remote font server, also via ssh tunnelling, so that fonts on the application I was running over freeNX would work.)

Anyone have a decent theory on this with a nice link? kashani Enabling 4GB support instead of 1 will allow 4GB of ram, _not_ =4GB. To be sure you can use all of it you have to select 64GB at the kernel.

Try adding the following to /etc/conf.d/net:
postdown() {
test ${IFACE} = eth0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
return 0
}
Thank you. That was a big help, but somehow disappointing.
I would rather like, if ifplugd would automatically do the ifconfig up
so that no configuration tweaks are needed.
Of course, i also got to put the interface in the up state on boot,
because i don't want to put net.eth0 in the default-runlevel for the
case where there is no cable plugged in ...
Therefor, at the moment, i also do a ifconfig eth0 up in

[gentoo-user] Beautification - Splash
Hello once more. I was good this time and did look through the documentation. In order to get the beautification on Gentoo I wanted (the nice graphics during the install and stuff) I researched it and installed splashutils. However, installation wasn't enough. There's a way to activate it. I found how to choose which theme I wanted - it was rather straightforward, a symlink to a folder. However, I don't know how to really activate the darn thing such that it'll work. I went to the software's homepage and found a installation document which basically said that it differs from distro to distro. If there were instructions for me, I didn't see them. Anyways, I hope you can help me here. I hope I'm not all that annoying, either. I know I am rather elementary, however, I was a good Dark Lord this time and I did do my homework and tried my best to work the problem by myself before asking for help - I really did! -- == GCv3.12 == GCS d-(++) s+: a?

[gentoo-user] Activating NX-bit on AMD64, solved (I think), and a warning.
A few days ago, I asked how to do it. I stumbled across the answer whilst browsing Google on an entirely different topic. The answer is to add the parameters noexec=on and noexec32=on to the boot line. I've added it via append lines in /etc/lilo.conf # # Linux bootable partition config begins # image = /boot/kernel-2.6-production root = /dev/sda1 label = Production read-only # read-only for checking append = noexec=on noexec32=on image = /boot/kernel-2.6-experimental root = /dev/sda1 label = Experimental read-only # read-only for checking append = noexec=on noexec32=on # # Linux bootable partition config ends # And now for the unrelated part, and the warning. I was reading up on GRUB, in case I decide to go 64-bit mode in the near future. Apparently, GRUB will *NOT* install if noexec/noexec32 are enabled.
