[gentoo-user] Moving X...

2006-06-29 Thread Hamish Marson
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1


Is there anyway to specify to the gentoo xorg-server package that you
want it installed in /usr/X11R6 once more instead of under /usr?

Under /usr/X11R6 I can have several copies... Generic, CVS and old
working etc... Moving it to /usr has meant I can't do that any more.
And makes debugging problems a real pain.

I didn't see why it was moved... Could we at least have it as an option?

TIA

Hi,
/usr/X11/ is a link to ../usr and belongs to x11-base/xorg-x11 not
xorg-server (all ~x86 system here). All this with modular-X.
For more info check: x-modular.eclass  xorg-server/xorg-x11 ebuilds.
IMHO this could be done using EXTRA_ECONF--suffix=/usr/X11 emerge ...
-a (check the syntax here).
But using this only for one/two packages probably will break
compatibility with the other xorg sub-packages (unless quite a number of
additional links/hacks are made).
Search/check for older xorg/XFree versions, there *was* such layout.
But i won't recommend trying this to anyone.

[gentoo-user] [Not strictly Gentoo] Touchpad as graphic tablet?

2006-06-29 Thread Leonardo
Hi,

I have a laptop with a touchpad, and was wondering if it's
possible to use it as a sort of 'cheap' graphic tablet.
As it should be possible to configure the threshold pressure to
detect the touch, maybe it's even possible to have not only
position, but also pressure detection, similarly to what happens
for graphic tablets.
Has anybody tried to use it in this way (maybe with Gimp)?

Ciao and thanks

Here's the problem. This file is part of libkdegames.

Which KDE version are you running. If you've switched from 3.4 to 3.5,
you need to change the path to the cards in KPat's settings. Either use
the menu or edit .kde/share/config/kpatrc.

 Here's the problem. This file is part of libkdegames.
 
 Which KDE version are you running. If you've switched from 3.4 to 3.5,
 you need to change the path to the cards in KPat's settings. Either use
 the menu or edit .kde/share/config/kpatrc.
 

I'm running KDE-3.5.2  .  Here's the deal; A couple of weeks ago I had

don't think it's a switching issue.  However, I might re-merge

On 6/28/06, Darren Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Any chance that's what's causing my gcc problems now?


Hmm, I doubt it.  But in comparing what you have posted to my AMD64
box, I see some things that don't look right.  For example, on my
AMD64 box, I have:

Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0
Portage 2.1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla,
glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.16 x86_64)
=
System uname: 2.6.16 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+

Notice my profile is default-linux/amd64/something, where you have
your profile as just default-linux/amd64.  I'm not sure that is
actually supported...and may in fact be the cause of your trouble.

The new profiles (starting with 2005.1) are multilib by default, so
for example merging glibc will try to build both i686 and x86_64
versions.  So it is in fact perfectly reasonble for an emerge of glibc
to try to build a i686 version, but *only* if you are using a multilib
profile.  Similarly gcc would try to build i686 versions of its
libraries, but would require an i686 glibc to be available first.

I suspect what you need to do is:

cd /etc
rm make.profile
ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.1/no-multilib

Then try re-merging glibc and gcc.

If you want to switch to the multilib profile, the symlink should be
to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.1 or 2006.0.  But
you might want to ask on gentoo-amd64 about how to switch from
no-multilib to a multilib profile...

Quoting from man revdep-rebuild

   revdep-rebuild no longer uses hardcoded paths. To change the default

   The variables are read and set in the following order:

   environment settings - one time changes by user
   /etc/make.conf - persistant changes by user
   /etc/revdep-rebuild/* - persistant changes by ebuild authors

   While  a  user  can  edit  and  modify the files in the

[gentoo-user] What's going to break, if vanilla kernel is used?

2006-06-29 Thread Alexander Skwar

Hello!

As suspend/resume doesn't work with the kernel shipped with
Dapper, I'd like to try using the suspend2 kernel patch from
http://suspend2.net/. But the patch cannot be applied cleanly
against the Ubuntu sources.

Because of that, I'd like to use a vanilla kernel. But the
Ubuntu patches are there for a reason, I'd suppose. Is this
reason documented somewhere? Or, put differently, what do the
Ubuntu patches add to the vanilla kernel and what's not going
to work anymore after using a vanilla kernel?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

 Why do you need a matrix?  Just measure and enter the actual

 Or if you want a specific DPI, do the math.  For example, for
 1280x1024 at 100dpi:

 width = 1280pix / 100pix/in - 12.8in * 25.4mm/in - 325mm
 height = 1024pix / 100pix/in - 10.24in * 25.4mm/in - 260mm

 So the dimensions should be 325x260.


DisplaySize 366 229 # display size in mm for DPI auto set

 width = 1440pix / 100pix/in - 14.4in * 25.4mm/in - 366 mm
 height = 900pix / 100pix/in - 9.00in * 25.4mm/in - 229 mm

Works like a champ on a 1440x900 portable screen.

My config is already almost exactly like that, except that my config
does not specify:
Listen 127.0.0.1:631

and this was enabled to allow other local CUPS servers (on a laptop
computer) to print to my printer:

BrowseAddress @LOCAL

I tried adding Listen 127.0.0.1:631 but cups actually refused to
start because it was 
Unable to bind socket for address :631 - Address already in use.

my CUPS automatically listens on: 0.0.0.0:631

maybe he only accepts only authenticated users to relay ?


There's a link on the webpage which explains the reason - apparently  
they would only accept messages with a From: address like  
[EMAIL PROTECTED] from my host. Anything which I've addressed  
[EMAIL PROTECTED] has to reach them via yahoo.com's servers.



I want to sign up to this list using my @yahoo.co.uk address, you
see, so the logical thing to do is have postfix deliver everything
with a from address @yahoo.co.uk using yahoo's SMTP server as  
relayhost.


Please do not mix up (outgoing) relay of some provider and  
(incoming) MX

for some domain. They're completely different things (which only *may*
point to the same host).


Sorry... I'm not sure that I understand.

My Yahoo account allows me to use their servers for outgoing STMP.  
This is what I'm trying to configure Postfix to do.



Doesn't postfix have some feature like sendmail's mailertable ?


Yes. On Googling mailertable I am able to tell you that this  
appears to be exactly the same as /etc/postfix/transport


So:
  $ cat /etc/postfix/transport
  lsv.uky.edu :smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
tells my server that anything going to lsv.uky.edu should relay via  
my outgoing SMTP account at smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk. This is a _little_  
clumsy for my purposes, but adequate.

yeah, postfix gets confused by the . MX reference for the domain
smtp1.mail.vip.ukl.yahoo.com. Although it is an unclean configuration,
I do not see what this has to do with your relay ... your postfix
just has to pull its mails (for yahoo.co.uk) to smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk,
and it has an proper A record, so what does it need the MX record  
for ?


Ah, looking up http://www.mob.net/~ted/tools/mx.php3? 
domain=smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk I see what you mean.


I don't see why postfix is looking up the MX record for it, either.  :(

My immediate reaction is: what if I host a fake MX record for  
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk on my internal DNS? I'm not sure of the  
implications of that.



BTW: if you don't get it fixed, you may get an UUCP account for
relay at my site.


I think this would only satisfy mg1.uky.edu if you yourself relayed  
anything to its domain via Yahoo. And for that you would require an  
SMTP account with Yahoo.

Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrading from gcc-3.4.5 to gcc-3.4.6-r1

Any chance that's what's causing my gcc problems now?


Hmm, I doubt it.  But in comparing what you have posted to my AMD64
box, I see some things that don't look right.  For example, on my
AMD64 box, I have:

Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0
Portage 2.1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla,
glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.16 x86_64)
=
System uname: 2.6.16 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 
4400+


Notice my profile is default-linux/amd64/something, where you have
your profile as just default-linux/amd64.  I'm not sure that is
actually supported...and may in fact be the cause of your trouble.

The new profiles (starting with 2005.1) are multilib by default, so
for example merging glibc will try to build both i686 and x86_64
versions.  So it is in fact perfectly reasonble for an emerge of glibc
to try to build a i686 version, but *only* if you are using a multilib
profile.  Similarly gcc would try to build i686 versions of its
libraries, but would require an i686 glibc to be available first.

I suspect what you need to do is:

cd /etc
rm make.profile
ln -s ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.1/no-multilib

Then try re-merging glibc and gcc.

If you want to switch to the multilib profile, the symlink should be
to /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2005.1 or 2006.0.  But
you might want to ask on gentoo-amd64 about how to switch from
no-multilib to a multilib profile...

-Richard
Didn't seem to help... I can emerge certain packages, but still can't 
re-merge gcc and glibc.

[gentoo-user] ufed questions

2006-06-29 Thread sean
Trying out the program for the first time and one simple question is if 
you choose an item how do you specify that you want it to be a '-'?


Pressing the space bar selects it, and adds it to make.conf with a +, 
but how do you get it to add with the '-' in front of it?

if the flag is on by default from make.defaults or from your profile,
there would by a + sign appearing in the first two columns... if you
then make sure to _unselect_ that item, it would be recorded in
make.conf with a - sign.

In otherwords, ufed only records a -flag for those enabled in the
profile or in the defaults. It saves space.

A suggestion that many on this list seem to follow is to select the -*
flag and only add the flag you need.

[gentoo-user] mythtv and 64bit - does it work/is it worth it?

2006-06-29 Thread W.Kenworthy
Ive just been reading up on 64/32 bit and gentoo.  Does 64bit (athlon64
3200) offer any advantages for a mythtv system?  Its a (now that I have
good HW on it!) stable working system, but it looks like I will have to
reinstall (no mean feat considering the setup time this took in the
first place!) if I go 64bit.

My only reason is to do it is probably better to leap now rather than in
a years time when it might be more difficult!  (and its probably a good
learning experience :)
