[gentoo-user] pgadmin3 doesn't work (resolved)

Regards Sebastian Noack Hi, both verions in portage of dev-db/pgadmin3 1.2.2 and 1.4.3 don't even compile if I'm using the latest stable of x11-libs/wxGTK which is version 2.6.2-r1.

On Thursday 12 October 2006 06:00, Lord Sauron wrote: They're going to install wireless in my school so I guess I better get this working sometime soon : ) Several people responded to your request so far, and maybe that has solved your problem. But no-one fully answered your original question, so fwiw here's my answer. You may not need this info if the standard driver in the kernel works for you. I isolated my problem to this: emerge ipw2100 ties in ieee80211, and that fails to compile because it says that the current kernel cannot have the option IEEE80211 in either module or enabled. It needs it disabled. Yes, you can't have a module in the kernel code-tree and another external module emerged at the same time - you end up with two different modules with the same name and that's a conflict I tried to use menuconfig and disable it, however, the only way I can do that is by literally disabling ALL networking - drivers and all. Kernel is kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r8. As Bo said, that kernel comes with ipw2100 drivers and they might suit your needs. But I have an ipw2200 card and the kernel tree modules don't work well for me, so I have to emerge ipw2200. You might find the same. I'm considering editing the makefile and removing its dependency on that blasted kernel configuration setting! No, don't do that. Instead read the emerge messages and do what they say. You first have to disable ipw2100 in menuconfig. It's one of the networking device drivers, so just unselect it. ipw2100 also comes with it's own ieee80211 which must also replace the existing code in the kernel. In menuconfig, go to Networking and there's a section called Wirelss (non ham radio) or similar. Enable it, and press enter. Now the config knows about wireless, but deselect the ieee80211 and ieee80211crypt stuff at the bottom of the list. Exit save and compile. Then emerge ipw2100 and ieee80211. You may get a message that you have to remove code files from the kernel tree, with a command supplied that you have to run. That's OK, just run it (the files that get deleted are replaced with the out-of-tree modules you are about to merge. Then read up everything you can on the new baselayout networking configuration. There's info on the gentoo docs, the wiki and it's been beaten to death on this list, so no need for me to repeat all that now Continue, share, enjoy alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Are you saying that it lacks a maintainer for keeping emelFM2 up-to-date in
portage?
Yes.
[SNIP]
Is there any way to ask portage devels to update regularly
emelFM2 ebuilds? (As it can be seen in [1], there are people providing
ebuilds for each emelFM2 release; couldn't they help maintaining emelFM2 in
portage?).
[SNIP]
If one of them is willing to be a maintainer and he can find a dev who is
willing to become proxy him, yes. Apparently noone did so far though.
The latest ebuild is on bug #90476 [1]. Unlike the latest ebuild in
portage that actually has a unicode use flag. Did you use that one [2]?
I'm novice enough to Gentoo to not yet master emerging from custom ebuilds.
So I build it from source (make make install). I used version 0.2.
You just fetch the ebuild and the two patches it requires from the bug and
place them in your local overlay. This should help you figure out how:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds
However, the problem isn't emelFM2 specific. It is more linked to GTK+2
applications. For example, Qalculate! isn't able to display the pi sign
(the unicode pi sign). Or Xfce cannot display corefonts (Arial, Tahoma,
Verdana). Instead of displaying a unicode character (my guess), it displays
an incomprehensible series of numbers.
My guess is that it has to be somehow linked to locale, but I cannot see
how. I have a fresh 2006.1 Gentoo installation, with a customised kernel
having nls_utf8 built-in. The only crucial change that I made was upgrading
Xorg to 7.1. I generally build all my applications with +nls flag.
Only suggestion I can think of is to follow this:

This looks for me like font-alias wants to bring in kde-env ... but
might be a misinterpretation from my side as well since after that
I decided to migrate to KDE ~x86 and since then the depenency is
gone.
~khelpcenter-3.5.2 pulls in ~kdelibs-3.5.2 which pulls in kde-env.
~kdelibs-3.5.4 on the other hand blocks kde-env. The solution is to
add kcontrol, kicker, khelpcenter (and any other packages that still
require a downgrade of kdelibs) to /etc/portage/package.keywords...
A further point on this topic. kde-3.5.5 just went ~x86 and I've just
run into this blocker myself. For some reason I had kde-env in my
world, so I looked into the ebuilds to see what's going on. kde-env
does this:
RDEPEND=!=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.4-r2
S=${WORKDIR}
src_install() {
dodir /etc/env.d
cat EOF ${D}/etc/env.d/99kde-env
KDEDIRS=/usr
CONFIG_PROTECT=/usr/share/config
#KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1
EOF
}
So it 1) blocks kdelibs-3.5.4-r2 and greater and 2)
creates /etc/env.d/99kde-env. So far so good.
The kdelibs blocker is because of this in kdelibs-3.5.5.ebuild function
src_install():
cat EOF ${D}/etc/env.d/45kdepaths-${SLOT} # number goes
down with version upgrade
PATH=${PREFIX}/bin
ROOTPATH=${PREFIX}/sbin:${PREFIX}/bin
LDPATH=${libdirs:1}
CONFIG_PROTECT=${PREFIX}/share/config ${PREFIX}/env
${PREFIX}/shutdown /usr/share/config
KDEDIRS=${PREFIX}:/usr:/usr/local
#KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1
EOF
so it writes it's own 45-kdepaths-3.5 which conflicts with the same
settings in kde-env. Fair enough and kdelibs-3.5.4-r2 is blocked for a
similar reason. But src_install() in kdelibs-3.5.4-r1 has only:
cat EOF ${D}/etc/env.d/45kdepaths-${SLOT} # number goes down
with version upgrade
PATH=${PREFIX}/bin
ROOTPATH=${PREFIX}/sbin:${PREFIX}/bin
LDPATH=${libdirs:1}
CONFIG_PROTECT=${PREFIX}/share/config ${PREFIX}/env ${PREFIX}/shutdown
EOF
No conflict with the settings from kde-env, so kde-env
kdelibs-3.5.4-r1 work together. What's so special about
kdelibs-3.5.4-r2 and greater that they must supplant kde-env (apart
from the order the files are read in /etc/env.d)?
I can't decide if this is a bug or the devs are trying stuff out.
There's also NO bugs listed for kde-env on bugzilla, so I thought I'd
ask here first and get some comment

Its slow but mostly usable although I mostly use it as a chat client so it rarely gets to run anything other than xchat and gaim and a few xterm windows and synergy (synergy2 project on sourceforge) for seamless access from my main machine. Fluxbox and the rest in its family (blackbox and openbox) are alright looking but I guess they do look a bit dated in comparison to the latest offerings. You might want to try fvwm-crystal, never used it myself but saw an article on it the other day, it is supposed to be relatively lightweight and nice looking.

The apps I've installed were: - KDE: It was very fast, but it took four days a week to compile. If you think that installing KDE doesn't worth the effort (if you are afraid that KDE may be sluggish), install slackware with KDE just to see how it will perform on that hardware. - OpenOffice.org: I was able to run OOo. It was a little (yes, just a little) slow, but worked well. I also recommend you to install koffice, because it is lightweight. - The Gimp, Inkscape, Thunderbird, etc.: were swift and fast. DO NOT install firefox. It is crappy on slower machines. Stick with konqueror and avoid headaches. Everything should run better than you expect on that machine. If you are in doubt because of performance concerns, try slackware just to test what you can be executed on your machine. With gentoo you'll have to compile everything (and it will take a week), but it will pay the effort, because everything will be faster. ___ Novidade no Yahoo!

I've also used -O2 on my Pentium 2 Celeron system without any problems. I used to run -Os back on my Pentium 200Mhz days, and that works fine too ;). Honestly, however I never did any benchmarking between the different -O settings on any of these machines, so I'm not sure they were the best setting to use.

Gen-bunto - what a concept. My two favorite distros right now are Gentoo and Ubuntu, and I wonder about the philosopical implications of liking what seem to be polar opposites. Human nature, perhaps. Hello Michael, Actually, it's not as far fetched as one would anticipate. There are quite a few wikis that show how to build a cd for lower speed processors from a faster machine. Someone with skills would only have to define what's different, between a 200MHz AMD vs a P2 and set up thoses few different files once. As different older machines are added these few files would be customized for the various (common) arch's of the various older machines. Then lots of admins could each manage a few machines for the kids in our neighborhoods. I'd do mine over wireless ethernet and thru the local cable tv network. I've collected up lots of old hardware for this purposeoneday. CFengine would be keen to push/manage binaries down to these machines over TCP/IP. Distributable CDs would be great for recruiting new members to the Gentoo community. Therefore we would not have to perform all of the compiling on these machines, just distribute binaries at night once a month or so, or print/distribute a CD to the kids and others with lesser skills/resources. The only trick is to put up a light-weight desktop, that would be appealing to many. With an open-mosix kernel, we could even cluster these machines for aggregated power, once open-mosix stabilizes on 2.6 kernels. That way, a group of gen_bunto users could pool their individually meager resources into something special, or as more old machine become available, each kid could build their own cluster: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Mythtv_With_ Diskless_Workstations_in_an_OpenMosix_Cluster That's the gentoo differential: if the gentoo community was to embrace this effort, it could easily put together something awesome and unmatched by any other distro/operating system, anywhere. Here in the US, there are lots of place that will give you working machines, if you just show up to haul them away. That number increase exponentially, when you are willing to spend $5-25 dollars. Eventually, the gentoo community will get around to this need for a binary distribution for categories of similar/common machines. Recruiting kids into gentoo, would be the smartest move possible, for the future of Gentoo, in my opinion. It's easy for me to motivate schools/clubs/groups of kids to use linux, it's just difficult to organize and time consuming, under the current gentoo semantics. After using Gentoo for a few years, I'm getting rid of my openbsd and debian boxes. I like the concepts that drive *buntu, I just strongly prefer gentoo. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I have these use flags enabled for mplayer (mmx, sse, sse2) But I've also seen them as possible use flags for a number of other programs, I'm about to install some kind of dvdripper. So the question is should I enable these flags on a case by case basis or stick them in my make.config? And if so should I use all three or just one? Thanks in advance Matt -- %%% Dr. Matthew R.

If all you wanted was a remote desktop you could connect to, then that's easily done. Emerge tightvnc then type vncserver :1. It'll prompt you for a password, then you use a vncviewer to connect to that host (format: host:display, so if your server was 192.168.0.200, it would be 192.168.0.200:1). But what it sounds like you want to do is connect to an existing X session, am I right? If so, follow this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_VNC_to_connect_to_existing_X_SessionsOn a related note, I'm looking for something similar, but I want a user to be presented with an xdm (or gdm) login.

Short answer.
1. Emerge xinetd, if not already installed
2. add a vnc file to /etc/xinetd.d - mine looks like:
service vnc
{
type= UNLISTED
port= 5900
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = :42 -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 1400x1050
-depth 24 -fp /usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/ -co
/usr/share/X11/rgb
disable = no
}
3. Enable xdmcp in your gdm/xdm configuration file
4. start/restart xdm/gdm and xinetd
Note: There are security implications with having both xdmcp and xinetd
turned on. Please make sure that you understand those risks.

[gentoo-user] OT - Extracting IP addresses with grep
I have a mail directory with several hundred spammish emails that have been collecting over the past month. I haven't gotten around to processing them yet ([EMAIL PROTECTED] if available, blocked if not) I would like to write a script that would extract the IP addresses from all these emails, but I can't figure out how to get grep to cooperate. I created a perl regular expression for matching against IP addresses and tried to pass it to grep, but it wouldn't return anything. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[gentoo-user] Can smbmount handle long passwords?
Due to a little bit of paranoia I have found an interesting, though rather annoying, bug in smbmount. If a samba user's password is longer than 23 chars, smbmount just cannot deal with it, producing the following error: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) SMB connection failed Googling was not much of a help, neither was searching through gentoo bugs and gentoo forum. Although there are a couple of forum entries which are probably related but were never actually solved: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-429074-highlight-samba+errnoaccess.html http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-418048-highlight-samba+errnoaccess.html Another interesting thing is that the bug is definitely not related to samba server configuration: smbclient still works perfectly well. Using mount.cifs is OK as well. Does anybody have a slightest idea what could be the problem solution? From the former forum link one can conclude that it is a specifically gentoo problem, though I cannot check this, as I don't have any other linux distribution available right now. So should I file a bug report? I can understand that, say, 24 chars password could seem too long, however I don't remeber that such limitation was documented somewhere. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Lightwheight Gentoo System
A solution for this old computer to install it quickly is to use anothoer computer for compiling it after just use the binary package results ! On another gentoo or any other system else, create a directory, decompress stage 1 and start an install like you will do on old machine After, just install all you want on it, so run a live on old box, prepare computer (partition), just go to before uncompress stage1, so copy you installation from other computer on it, make kernel, lilo/grub so reboot, all done you can save a lot's of time ! After all install, you want to add something, no prob, just use distcc and configure it to only use other computer to compile (not localhost :)) Well, Kde can be really fast, but you have to select package manually (don't use kde portage, it install lot's of think) just install all you need, one by one, konsole, kwin, konqueror ... think to clean USE for a minimalist kde install other desktop that could by good is gnome, but don't really know how to enlight it Xfce-4 is really light too, firefox could by a little be long to run (need some memory ...), with kde you have konqueror but render not really the same, you have to see Use correct compilation option: -Os -march=i386 (or i486 .. depend on exact model of computer) Gentoo could be adapt to any system I think For just fast and ultra light install on old computer, I would prefer Debian Sarge distribution, fast to install, really optimizing for small system, easy update ... It's another solution Just to know want if you want to install a gentoo to show to kid how it work, or just a fast install just to see or it work so ...

default DHCP configuration (no /etc/conf.d/net), my /etc/resolv.conf
file gets overwritten. This is annoying because it rewrites my domain
name. I've tried the following options in /etc/conf.d/net:
set dhcp_ESSID=nodns

modules=( ifconfig )
config_eth0=( dhcp )

[gentoo-user] gentoo mirro rsync policy
Hi Guys, Is there a policy for the syncing of the mirrors, that would prevent inconsistencies? I'm not talking about inconsistencies with the master server(s), as that would be kind of difficult to have atomic syncing between all servers involved. What I'm referring to is inconsistencies in terms of me syncing with a mirror. I can't count how many times I've had a problem, gone on a wild goose hunt, and then ended up syncing again and it works. Could this be due to one of the mirrors doing a sync, while it's own rsync is still accepting connections? If so, then I may get a portage tree that is not properly synced. If each mirror's rsync is not shutdown during syncing, wouldn't it be better if it actually was? I think we'd rather get a connection refused message, and have *emerge* try another mirror, than to have an inconsistent portage state, don't we think? Any thoughts? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Xorg 7.1 and Legacy Nvidia Drivers
I say in the newsletter that the stabilization of Xorg 7.1 was being held up until there where updated drivers for Nvidia that added support for this version. So does this mean that you MUST use the latest Nvidia driver to use Xorg 7.1? I know that I had an issue with the libraries not getting stuck in the right spot using legacy drivers with Xorg 7, but I assume there is some additional issue here am I correct? My problem is that I cannot use any driver after 7664 with my Geforce4 MX460, despite the fact that it is listed as one of the supported boards on the newer driver. Every time I try it, my screen goes blank and the system completely locks up. So I guess I have two questions: Does anyone know how to make 7664 work with Xorg 7.1 (I haven't tried it yet)? Does anyone know of some configuration I might be doing wrong that is preventing the new drivers from working? Thanks, Troy -- Beware of spyware.

Possibly, because dd would trip up on the deliberate errors.
