[gentoo-user] get unversioned list of installed packages without eix or esearch
I know that I can get a list of installed packages without their version
numbers with eix:
# eix -nI --format 'category/name' | \
grep -vr '^$\|^\[[0-9]*\]\|^Found\ [0-9]*'
This is probably possible with esearch too. But does anybody know of a way to
get it with portage, bash or gentoolkit?
I was of course considering something like this:
# cd /var/db/pkg ls * | ${some_magic_regular_expression_to_remove_version}
But I have found it impossible to make a regular expression that does break
for at least one of those:
media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.0
media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi-1.0.0
media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-type1-1.0.1
media-libs/jpeg-6b-r7
net-misc/cisco-vpnclient-3des-4.8.00.0490
sys-apps/portage-2.1.1_pre1-r2
sys-fs/udev-090
sys-fs/udev-090-r1
sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3.6
sys-libs/timezone-data-2006g
Which are:
media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi
media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi
media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-type1
media-libs/jpeg
net-misc/cisco-vpnclient-3des
sys-apps/portage
sys-fs/udev
sys-fs/udev
sys-libs/libstdc++-v3

Any ideas?

[gentoo-user] 2006.0 installer quits during partitioning stage (CCISS?)
When attempting an install on an HP DL360 with a CCISS SCSI controller the installer quits when attempting the partitioning with the message: The setup program seems to have failed No other info is given. I then tried several things to circumvent it, first I partitioned the disk with fdisk prior to starting the installer (which doesn't help) and secondly I made symlinks from the /dev/cciss/c0d0* devices to their /dev/sda* counterparts, which didn't help either. I'm willing to do the install manually, but the 2006 manual sadly does not suggest an alternative to using the installer. What now? TIA Maarten -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] cinelerra-cvs
Hello! Somebody using cinelerra-cvs under AMD64?? I compiled it in some different versions and when I run it I only get a small X window with anything inside. However, it works if you do it from source code, directly downloaded from the project web page. what could be done? may it be a problem in portage? .alvaro.castro. __ LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo.

[gentoo-user] CUPS, HPLIP and BEH: solved?
I just posted this on linuxprinting.foomatic.devel, but I guess some
here might have the same problem, namely that the HPLIP printer
drivers fail when combined with CUPS' Backend Error Handler:
To fully utilize the capabilities of our HP LaserJets I recently
installed HPLIP and was quite pissed off at the fact that it doesn't
work with BEH---I had almost forgotten how much work BEH had saved me
killing users' stuck print jobs and manually restarting the printer in
CUPS. So I started digging in the HPLIP sources today and got it working
with a trivial patch:
# diff /usr/share/hplip/base/device.py.orig
# /usr/share/hplip/base/device.py
47c47
pat_deviceuri =
re.compile(r(.*?):/(.*?)/(\S*?)\?(?:serial=(\S*)|device=(\S*)|ip=(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}[^]*))(?:port=(\d))?,
re.IGNORECASE)

pat_deviceuri =
re.compile(r(.*):/(.*?)/(\S*?)\?(?:serial=(\S*)|device=(\S*)|ip=(\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}[^]*))(?:port=(\d))?,
re.IGNORECASE)
I.e. I just removed the first question mark in the RE to make it greedy
again. Now it seems to work fine with my printers.conf:
DeviceURI beh:/1/3/120/cupspykota:hp:/net/HP_LaserJet_4100_Series?ip=12.34.56.78
This hasn't been tested extensively yet so I may be missing something
and the patch might break more that it fixes on other configs, but maybe
some of you would like to give it a try. Comments welcome.
cheers!

Your burner has broken down, is breaking down, or is flaky. I've
seen this: a month later it was dead. Before getting a new one, you
might try checking the connectors are seated properly.
I don't mean to be testy here, but I'm still not convinced it is the
CD drive. And I now know it is not the CD. My reasoning:
1) The drive was working flawlessly in kaudiocreator prior to the
upgrade to KDE 3.5
2) I was successfully able to burn a data CD in KDE 3.5 with k3b
3) I was successfully able to rip the CD with kaudiocreator on my laptop
(only problem here is that my music collection is on my desktop (this
gives credence to the fact that it is not the CD). My laptop is running
KDE 3.4.3, but with an older kernel
4) On my desktop, I was able to rip the CD using Windows Media player
under Windows.
One other thing that is different from running kaudiocreator under kde
3.4.3 and running it under kde 3.5.2 is a kernel upgrade to
linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r9.
One additional fact. I nuked the kde 3.5 installation completely from
my system and went back to kde 3.4. Then, kaudiocreator would not rip
the CD. However, I was able to copy the original CD and then burn the
tracks using k3b and then, kaudiocreator would rip the CD. And the
tracks play just fine in amaroK.
So, I reiterate, I don't think it is the CD drive. It must be either a
setting that I don't have correct or it must have something to do with
some quirk in kde and/or kaudiocreator.

Colleen

I do not know if this is due to a recent move to 2.6.17-rt1, or bad maintenance on my part, or just bad luck. I've Well, I've had various problems with external drives. I have 3 1394/USB2 combo drives that I use for backups. If I connect them via 1394, they will start to have problems at some point during my backupssometimes several Gb will transfer fine, and then it will hiccup with various read/write failures. I *never* have a problem with these same drives connected via USB. In another event, I moved a 2.5 drive from a slightly damaged USB2 case to a new one. The new case started corrupting data written to it, without any warning or errors. Filesystem checks would always report no errors, but for example I could transfer kernel sources to the drive, but they would fail to extract from there. I eventually replaced the case, (same drive) and that cleared up all problems, but I had to restore the files from backups as they were actually corrupted on write (vs just not being able to read them correctly). So, what I really recommend you do for awhile is to do an md5sum of any files that you transfer to the drive before transferring them. And then periodically do a md5sum -c to verify the file contents. That is really the best way to make sure your drives are working right, and that your data hasn't been corrupted. And if they are combo drives, try the USB2 connection instead. I wondered if there is really any value to a journaled file system? Did it protect me? I cannot tell. With one exception, journaled filesystems are designed to protect themselves, not your data. That is, if a crash occurs in the middle of an operation, the filesystem meta-data will not be corrupted. It will know how large all files should be, which blocks are allocated to which files, whether any files should be deleted, and so on. It does not guarantee the actual file data however. But this 'guarantee' is useless if a hardware problem is corrupting the filesystem, which appears to be the problem here. The one exception is ext3 when mounted with the 'data=journal' option. But this makes the filesystem fairly slow, and still doesn't help with hardware problems -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I think this is called suspend/resume. I see there is a kernel called suspend2-sources. This uses suspend2, which is an externally maintained patch to the kernel [1]. Suspend2 may work better than the in-kernel suspend implementation for some cases. I know nothing about the hardened kernel, but you should be able to enable the 'normal' suspend to disk and suspend to ram options. Look under Power management options... and turn on Software Suspend for suspend-to-disk support. You can also add ACPI...-Sleep States for suspend-to-ram. I highly recommend merging and using hibernate-script. This is an advanced script that can handle most suspend/standby tasks. Just edit the config file[s] in /etc/hibernate/, and run hibernate -F path_to_config. I also recommend getting the ~arch version of hibernate-script, so that you can start off using the new config file layout. -Richard [1] http://www.suspend2.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
