[gentoo-user] Unmerge KDE script


Hi All,

I am trying to unmerge KDE 3.4 using the script below and it comes up
with an error.
=
for x in `ls /usr/portage/kde-base`; do
 if [ $x != CVS ]; then
echo -n =kde-base/$x-3.4* 
 fi
done |xargs emerge -Cv
=

The error is:
=
# ./unmerge-kde.sh
--- Couldn't find '=kde-base/akode-3.4*' to unmerge

How do I get over this problem?

Use this instead:

cd /var/db/pkg  emerge -Cva kde-base/*-3.4*

Well actually the big difference is that you are using the list of installed

In that case you can replace --clean (or --prune) with --unmerge. You had a 
look at [1]?

The original error was because you didn't have akode installed. /var/db/pkg 
contains only the packages you have installed whereas /usr/portage contains 
everything. equery --list outputs only what you have installed by default.

Finally you should know that because kde is slotted you do not have to remove 
kde-3.4 before installing kde-meta-3.5. But you have to remove it before 
installing kde-meta-3.4. Monolithic and split packages block each other only 
within the same slot.

In general it helps to tell us what you want to achieve from the beginning. It

I am using a little shell function to change between various Qt

switchqt()

switchqt /usr/qt/3 activates Qt 3 for this shell.

You upgraded portage.  The einfos said to run 'emerge --metadata'

I'm also seeing this from time to time - emerge -Duvat world

Hi list,

I have been trying for 5 days now to install a gentoo system on a

I have followed instructions on
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_with_NVRAID_using_dmraid
I was succeeded on installing gentoo base system and grub :-), but,
when I boot the systems ask for real_root /dev/mapper/nv_ device

I had try the hard way, open a shell when it ask for real_root and on
/dev/mapper is just control.

I had try with genkernel and on the same situation on /dev/mapper/ has
control and my disk, but none of the partitions.

I am so close of making this work, but is really frustrating get stuck
in something like that for so long.

Thanks for attention, Allan


Hi Allan,

I believe I had pretty much the same problem as you, finding that the 
initial install went fine, but trying to boot with the new kernel (after 
using genkernel with the dmraid option) failed.


I found the issue lay with Linux kernel 2.6.16 - I read a post somewhere 
(which I have since lost track of) that hinted a bug/feature of 2.6.16 
meant some partitioning schemes would fail to be detected correctly 
under NVRaid. The solution for me (so far) has been to run 2.6.15, at 
least until 2.6.17 goes Gentoo-stable. In other words, I have masked 2.6.16.


Hope that helps,


   Dave.

[gentoo-user] Emerging xinetd: big changes to config file

2006-06-22 Thread Kevin O'Gorman


The latest xinetd that I just emerged resulted in a large change to
/etc/xinetd.conf.  Not unusual, I suppose, but frankly it scares me a
bit.  I don't really understand the purpose of the changes and I'm
not sure of the consequences.

My solution was to back up the old version, and then install the
updated version (with etc-update).  However, I'm still nervous
about what will happen on the next reboot.  I do have to do that
from time to time.

I could figure this out, granted enough spare moments, but I'm
hoping there's someone out there who knows what's going on
just off the top of their head.

Is this update actually likely to change the behavior in any
ominous way?

The chief problem (at least in my case) was (taken from above link) is 
that 2.6.16 introduces the problem to this patch that limits dm-stripe

On Thursday 22 June 2006 17:26, Hans Schou wrote:
 Where can I read more about masked? 

I would suggest that you read part 2 and 3 from the handbook [1]. It really is
worthwhile.

 I have questions like: Why use 
 unmask? Why not use unmask? If I unmask a package now, will that spoil the
 same package later? etc.

As you can see in part 2, chapter 1.d [2] packages may be masked in different
ways depending on whether it is not tested sufficiently to go in the stable
branch, not tested at all or simply broken.

Obviously you are running the stable branch (x86). Modular X (including
setxkbmap) still belongs to the testing branch (~x86) so you probably followed
[3] at some time because you wanted modular X (X.org 7.x). The fact that you
said you couldn't run emerge world suggests that you have unmasked setxkbmap
in the past by a specific version that doesn't cover version 1.0.2. Hence you
may run into this problem for a lot of packages that belong to modular X as
they are upgraded to newer versions that your /etc/portage/package.keywords
doesn't unmask.

The reasoning for unmasking is of course that you want newer software than is
available in the stable branch and the reasoning for not doing it is that you
want stability. Since this is just in ~x86 it is not broken and a lot of us
are using it. It is, however, not in stable and therefore you shouldn't run it
unless you are prepared to accept, that it might break at some point.

Hi,
The only way to use RAID in your case (that i know of) is to have a
separate /boot partition (could also be as RAID1).
Swap is better outside RAID (but on both disks as failsafe measure).
IIRC in your case the RAID is already installed, you could get a third
small disk (or resize existing RAID,if possible at all - no experience).
nvraid is a software raid which depends on BIOS settings and
(frequently) a Win-driver to operate.
Read the articles on www.gentoo-wiki.com (Gentoo with NVRAID using
dmraid). Using RAID0 with nv2 and separate /boot partition.
As i have null RAID experience (just theory) someone else, here.

[gentoo-user] Does USB devices share bandwidth?

2006-06-22 Thread 张韡武

Hello. My old sparc server have a USB extension card, which provides two
USB slots at the back of the machine, driving a USB printer on Slot A.
This printer runs at heavy load. because it cannot print the documents
as fast as we need, I wish to add another printer. In most casese, we
need the two printer working together the same time rather then one
after the other.

The two USB slots provided by the USB card are both OHCI (some USB 1.x
stuff, not USB 2.0). So far it seems one single printer uses up all the
USB bandwidth (sometimes printer stop there several seconds wait for
signal). What would happen if I put another Printer there?

case A: the new printer uses the bandwidth on slot B, both run as fast
as if they were the only USB printer;
case B: the new printer share bandwidth with the old one, the result is
both printer work 1/2 fast, that is equal to not having bought another
printer at all.

Which one is true? 

Thanks in advance:)

None, and both. Printer can not print as fast as you can pump data
through usb2 (480Mbps), unless you have some *really* expensive printer.
So even if you had 2 printers on usb, sharing common usb-bandwidth, you
could print much more documents in the same time, as with 1 printer...

hey alex,

I used your instructions, and got a bit further yet there are still 
issues that seem to be contradictory. First of all, a snippet from the/ 
./configure /process:

/
checking whether QTDIR environment variable is set... /usr/qt/3
checking for Qt library... qt-mt
checking for Qt library version = 3.1.1... yes
checking for qmake... /usr/bin/qmake /but it looks in /usr/bin ??

that is certainly part of the problem, since the version there is from 
qt4 (/qmake --version -- 4.1.3/)

so this part of the make process certainly make more sense in that light:

/g++ -c -pipe -O2 -mtune=i686 -pipe -D_REENTRANT -Wall -W -fPIC 
-DQT_NO_DEBUG -D
QT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ 
-I. -I/u
sr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4 -I.moc 
-I.ui -

o initfio.o initfio.cpp
/
so it basically includes qt4, which must lead to failure. The qmake from 
/usr/qt/3/bin returns to be, obviously, version 3. something is strange 
there, any idea?

it.


switchqt()

switchqt /usr/qt/3 activates Qt 3 for this shell.

Sure. But it would remove packages that the meta packages depend on too. 
kde-base/kdelibs takes a long time to compile and hence shouldn't be removed 
as you still need it. Unless of course you need to upgrade it anyway. This 
might be feasible:

#cd /var/db/pkg  emerge -Cva `ls -d kde-base/* | grep -v -r 'kdelibs\|arts'`

It will remove everything in the kde-base category except kdelibs and arts. 
Make sure to check what it removes before doing it. It shouldn't be more than 
13 packages.

[SNIP]

 But if meta 
 is going away, like the monolithic kde packaging (eventually)
 I'd rather go straight to the split kde package system.

Why would you think the kde-meta aka the split packages would be going away? 
They certainly won't.

 emerge -atv kde-meta
 lists many packages and I'm too lazy to remove them all by
 hand

Actually there aren't a lot of monolithic packages. [1] lists them all in a 
box in section 2. If you have all of them you still need to remove only 13 
packages.

 These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
 Calculating dependencies... done!
  .[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5* (is blocking
 kde-base/kaboodle-3.5.2) .[blocks B     ] =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5* (is
 blocking
 kde-base/kdemultimedia-kappfinder-data-3.5.2)

This tells you that kde-base/kdemultimedia blocks both kaboodle and 
kdemultimedia-kappfinder-data. You only need to remove the one package 
kdemultimedia. It just blocks a lot of packages that are pulled in by 
kde-meta.

[SNIP]

 From mono to split? Some gentoo/kde systems I manage will want
 to go to the split system or a few kde-meta packages and the
 rest of the kde(split) apps individually installed.

Do what I said above or just remove the few packages manually when they block 
something. There really aren't that many. emerging any split package will 
work just as well as the meta packages. You should only use the meta packages 
if you wan't everything.

 Which one is true? 

USB is a 'multi drop' serial bus, like rs485. So if 2 devices on the same
usb bus use equal bandwidth, the bandwidth available will be less than
1/2 the standards stated throughput. There is always overhead, due to 
negotiations and arbitration on busses and any form of shared media.
Not all USB chips perform up to the usb 2.0 spefication, when robustly
benchmarked. (caveat emptor). Drivers and contention for I/O to
the kernel can be another common area for under optimiztion of USB.


Um you cannot tell how many usb chips and what version of usb they are running
by looking at the physical port. To discern more about the details of your 
usb hardware, ports, chips, busses and versions of usb those chips(firmware
support) you need to use some commands like:

lsusb  and lshw. (lspci and discover) also.

on one of my portables, lspci shows:

snip
00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 
USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f)
00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems[SiS] 
USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f)

USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f)
00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 
USB 2.0 Controller

Installing  the printers off of (2) separate USB busses that are indeed
usb 2.0 compliant should solve your problems. You might  need to use
different hardware discovery commands on a sparc architecure

 I have stuff from kde 3.2, 3.3., 3.4 on some of my older systems.

This removes everything in kde-base that is version 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 (and

# cd /var/db/pkg  emerge -Cva kde-base/*-3.{2,3,4}*

  #cd /var/db/pkg  emerge -Cva `ls -d kde-base/* | grep -v -r \

One could add a version too so that only the newest version of kdelibs and
arts is kept since it is still required. Like this:

# cd /var/db/pkg  emerge -Cva  `ls kde-base | grep -v -r 
'kdelibs-3\.5\.3\|arts-3\.5\.3'`

 Beside, my thoughts are to remove everthing and start from fresh, as

This removes everything in kde-base. It's equivalent to Neils suggestion.

# cd /var/db/pkg  emerge -Cva kde-base/*

Also after removing old slots there may still be third party apps left that has
been compiled against the old versions. They need to be remerged after the new
version of kde has been emerged to compile them against the new version and
remove the old cruft in /usr/kde/3.4 etc.

This will show you what packages still have cruft in /usr/kde/3.2 - 3.4:

# find /usr/kde/3.{2,3,4} | xargs equery belongs | cat

Unmerge what you don't need or remerge (after emerging kde 3.5) what you still
need. When you are done with that the above command should give no output and
any files still in /usr/kde/3.2 - 3.4 can be safely deleted since they belong

 Historical experiences with Gentoo. Gentoo is great for the current
 new stuff, but often, I'm learning and dealing with minutia, I would
 prefer to avoid. When I do avoid the gentoo minutia, I get burned,
 like now having to move to meta or split. Granted, in the long run,
 these migrations have been good, but it's still painful (time consuming)
  to walk the gentoo path, at times

The split packages are replacing the monolithic. Not the other way around. And
KDE 4.x will get out next spring.

[gentoo-user] Konqueror and javascript

2006-06-22 Thread Etaoin Shrdlu

After upgrading to kde 3.5.2, I noticed that simply going to 
http://www.microsoft.com :-) crashed konqueror consistently even on 
different machines.
Enabling javascript debug, I found that, before crashing, a javascript 
error was produced.
Then I did some tests to verify konqueror's javascript support status, 
and I found that lots of sites which use javascript are not working (or 
only partially working) with konqueror, while all seems well with 
firefox and ie.
Now, I have no special knowledge of javascript, so my question is: are 
these problems due (as happened some times in the past) to konqueror 
being too strict (and firefox and ie being more permissive) about 
javascript or, rather, is konqueror's javascript support that is buggy 
(although this sounds strange to me)?

You're still at portage-2.0.*?  The latest versions of those were

there were lots of changes in the KDE stuff.

 I don't think it's a missing emerge --metadata, as the metadata

Hrrrm.  Yes it was a missing emerge --metadata.  You will see when

Used this one. I'd rather clean it all out (KDE) and start over.


 This removes everything in kde-base. It's equivalent to Neils suggestion.

 # cd /var/db/pkg  emerge -Cva kde-base/*

I then removed the monolithci packages by hand that are blocking
This is the command I used to see what is(was) blocking kde-meta:
emerge -uavDN kde-meta


 Also after removing old slots there may still be third party apps left that 
 has
 been compiled against the old versions. They need to be remerged after the new
 version of kde has been emerged to compile them against the new version and
 remove the old cruft in /usr/kde/3.4 etc.

 This will show you what packages still have cruft in /usr/kde/3.2 - 3.4:

 # find /usr/kde/3.{2,3,4} | xargs equery belongs | cat

Ok I'll do this after emerging kde-meta completes. I hope I was not suppose
to do this before 'emerge -uavDN kde-meta' 

Right now the (test) workstation is compiling kde-meta. When that is done,
I'll report back my results. This way, maybe other folks can have a
concise method to clean out the old kde kruft and get fresh kde-meta
or kde-split(dealer's choice...)

 Unmerge what you don't need or remerge (after emerging kde 3.5) what you still
 need. When you are done with that the above command should give no output and
 any files still in /usr/kde/3.2 - 3.4 can be safely deleted since they belong
 to no package. Pay attention to what you do though. A revdep-rebuild before
 this step will probably take care of most of this.

Before or after the emerge -uavDN kde-meta?

If you are removing stuff it doesn't matter. If you are remerging stuff it

Are you *sure* this is due to USB bandwidth?  Many printers have to do
internal processing of the document before they start printing, and
depending upon the complexity of the document, I've seen printers take
several seconds to several minutes to print each page.  Simple text

I too have noticed mine being really slow when doing pictures or some
complex graphics. Many people think printers are dumb but they still do
a lot of processing. If the printer is old, you may want to see if you
can upgrade the memory in it or just get you a newer printer. I have
seen increasing the memory help a lot but it still depends on what you
are doing and the speed of the processor.

Is there a tool to monitor the use of USB ports? Maybe then he can see
if it is the printer or the network. Maybe he already has done this and
I missed it.

 It's also covered in `man portage`.

But there it doesn't say anything about = in the package.keywords

If you specify something like this:

=x11-apps/setxkbmap-1.0.2

and version 1.0.2-r1 comes out with a bug fix or a security fix. Then you 
won't get the fix. That can be solved with either one of the following:

=x11-apps/setxkbmap-1.0*
=x11-apps/setxkbmap-1.0.2*
~x11-apps/setxkbmap-1.0.2

The following won't work, however:

~x11-apps/setxkbmap-1.0

But then what happens when 1.0.3 or 1.1* comes out and fixes something 
important? Some think of this as a big issue. There is disagreement about the 
importance of this even among the Gentoo developers (big surprise... ;) ). 
Not all security fixes become a glsa (Gentoo Linux Security Advice).

 install it on the running
 image.  So pursuing this may be wasted effort.  The package is very
 old after all.

Well let me take this opportunity to apologize for not giving you
directions on how to work around this problem.  Getting around it
probably would have been fairly simple...I think an 'LDFLAGS= emerge
--oneshot glib-1.2.10-r5' might have done it.

I am still concerned though, since we don't know where those flags
were coming from, they may return to bite you again.

 kdevelop won't emerge because it winds up needing a *.h file that does
 not exist, in a *.cpp file that is itself built from a *.ui file.  It
 strikes me that this one's gonna have a huge learning curve (for me at
 least).

Sounds like a pretty common problem with MAKEOPTS=-jN (N1).  What can
happen with a parallel make is that if one step needs a file that is
generated by another step, it can start executing before the file is
complete generated by the other step.  The flow looks something like:

thread-a: generating foo.h and foo.cpp from foo.ui...
thread-b: waiting for foo.h and foo.cpp to make foo.o...
thread-a: writing to foo.h and foo.cpp...
thread-b: compiling foo.o from foo.cpp...
thread-b: ERROR compiling foo.cpp!
thread-a: finished writing to foo.h and foo.cpp...

Makefiles have to be specially written to properly avoid the above scenario...

The workaround is to 'MAKEOPTS=-j1 emerge --oneshot kdevelop'

 Thanx.

The best cflags are those on the safe cflags list at:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/Safe_Cflags

If you use stupid cflags you will most probably encounter serious breakage and 
simply be told to revert to the safe cflags and emerge world before you 
receive much help.

Packages that benefit greatly from certain cflags usually override your cflags 
with better ones in the ebuild. For example I believe xine-lib will force -O3 
regardless of what you specify in make.conf.

Best for what?


-march=athlon-xp -mtune=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe

is safe and give you a great performance

i use thisCFLAGSfor a similar machine Athlon XP 2600 (core Barton)--aryix

I have been using this one for quite a while now and no problems yet anyway.

 CFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
 -momit-leaf-frame-pointer -fno-ident -pipe


I got it from here:
