[gentoo-user] xgl, masked packages, and me going crazy
Hi to Everyone! I have followed the HOWTO_XGL to install XGL on my system, but when I arrive at the point: emerge -av mesa I get: - These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies \ !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy =x11-libs/libdrm-2.1_alpha have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/libdrm-2.1_alpha20060614 (masked by: missing keyword) - x11-libs/libdrm-2.1_alpha20060406 (masked by: missing keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

[gentoo-user] USB bluetooth
Hi All, I have been trying to get some peripherals of my Compaq Evo N600c working and to this day have been met with a rather discouraging failure. So I thought of giving it another go, this time perhaps understanding a bit more. This laptop has two USB ports. However, lshw and lspci shows three USB devices. I assume that the third is supposed to be used with the built-in bluetooth device, and perhaps the built-in IrDA, or even the built-in modem. None of these devices (IrDA, bluetooth, modem) have worked or shown up in lshw/lspci/lsusb to date . . . Anyway, this is what I get from lshw: http://michaelkintzios.fastmail.fm/evo_n600c/lshw.txt and this is what lspci -v shows: http://michaelkintzios.fastmail.fm/evo_n600c/pci.txt and this is lsusb: http://michaelkintzios.fastmail.fm/evo_n600c/lsusb.txt Could you please tell me in the first instance how I can get the bluetooth device configured and recognised? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] cannot print after changing CUPS printer
OK lets think through this once more. Your original $ lpstat -h
localhost -t output although it shows your gray-deskjet as the
default destination, it does not show that the other printer is
paused.
Try again to manually set the default printer (for all users) and see
if it picks it up:
# lpoptions -d gray-deskjet
May be worth re-naming ~/.lpoptions file if it exists to make sure
that only the /etc/cups/lpoptions are read by lp on each occasion.
Then stop the pdfprt (not sure how you do this from the command line,
I use the GUI). Check that pdfprt is stopped, gray-deskjet is idle
accepting jobs and is the default printer using $ lpststat -h
localhost -t. Then try to send something to the printer using lp,
e.g. lp foo.txt.
My guess is that for some reason your pdfprt is being picked up and
its address cups-pdf:/ is not correct?
HTH

gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
I already setup pdfprt to be paused.
Then I checked for ~/.lpoptions as a normal user, and didn't find it.
It appeared that /etc/cups/lpoptions still pointed to the old printer
(neither pdfprt, nor gray-deskjet).
So I tried to do:
# lpoptions -d gray-deskjet
lpoptions: Unknown printer or class!
Then I tried 'lpoptions -h localhost -d gray-deskjet' and it worked.
This changed the default printer in /etc/cups/lpoptions.
However, lpstat still says it cannot connect to server, and for
example enscripting a text file fails as well:
$ enscript todo
lpr: error - scheduler not responding!
[ 1 pages * 1 copy ] sent to printer
$ enscript -P gray-deskjet todo
lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable
[ 1 pages * 1 copy ] sent to gray-deskjet
$ enscript -d gray-deskjet todo
lpr: error - unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable
[ 1 pages * 1 copy ] sent to gray-deskjet
In fact, I just deleted pdfprt, and the situation still has not
changed (ever after restarting cupsd).
I just ran lpstat with strace, and I notices something that I
suspected all along, it tries to connect to my old print server:
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(631),
sin_addr=inet_addr(10.1.1.4)}, 16) = -1 EHOSTUNREACH (No route to
host)
I hope no-one minds if attach the whole output from strace here.

Re: [gentoo-user] xgl, masked packages, and me going crazy ()
Daniel,Unmasking libdrm won't hurt a thing. If you're already using modular x, it's probably already installed in it's stable version. You will need a few things to get XGL running with NVidia's proprietary drivers, such as an alpha version of Mesa, new versions of glitz and much more. Checking out the HOWTO_XGL page on gentoo-wiki.com will tell you exactly what you need to install.Just look at Hanno's overlay to see what you're putting on your computer.On 7/1/06, Daniel Iliev [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, Юли 1, 2006 10:10 pm, Bo Г#65533;rsted Andresen wrote: On Saturday 01 July 2006 21:00, Daniel Iliev wrote: Will this mask work for nvidia cards too?
