-Original Message- From: Mark Knecht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 4:37 PM I've been messing with a standard x86, middle of the road Gentoo machine for over two days now. There must be 20 or 30 packages that won't build. Frustrating. Most of the problems are in and around getting Gnome updated. Typical of the problem, but definitely not limited to this, is the following sort of message. Unfortunately every one of the failing packages is giving different messages so there's nothing obvious to me here. What a mess! I've never in over 6 years of using Gentoo ever seen things in worse shape. Two days of this. No fun. I do think that a good part of this problem is more of the expat stuff. I had hoped it would be fixed up in portage before I got around to working on this machine but with upcoming death of the older versions of MythTV and the requirements to go to newer versions I had to get to work. Bummer. 2 days work and no end in sight. rant I have to fully agree with you. I used to run a mixture of ~x86 and stable x86 on both my notebook and my server (when I was more naive). Then I got tired of compiling every day some -r1 -r2 -rN minute ebuild for a 100MB package. Grr. So I painfully ripped out all the ~x86 masks and now my system is about 99% 'stable x86'. I thought, foolishly, at the time, that this would ease my pain. I made the assumption that the stable branch would be well tested and compile cleanly at the very least. With the occasional minor googling or asking the list for a simple snag here and there. Boy was that woefully optimistic. Linux is painful enough as it is to use. 8 billion config files to worry about screwing up. Another 4 million ebuild.log files to parse and act upon after every update. rev-dep rebuilding. And then, as someone else mentioned, the anxiety of the fact that if you don't update with some frequency, you are so far out of date that an emerge system/world is a dilemma whether to just format and start over. The old adage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it can't even be applied for that very reason. Nothing like having a production server S.T.B. because some stable update hosed my box/config/settings, and then I have to scramble for the next few hours tracking down solutions -- Exim, Dovecot, Apache, KDE, Gnome all come to mind (my KDE is currently broken as of the emerge update two days ago). Every time I find myself fighting with some package that won't compile, or a needing a version of something that isn't marked x86 (like SVN STILL!) that should be by now, or when I watch the 10 other developers where I work who have Compiz working flawlessly on Ubuntu by simply apt-get installing it, I wonder what am I hanging on to Gentoo for (since my first install in 2004). I REALLY love the theory behind it. I REALLY think/thought it has potential. I REALLY love the customization. But is that all REALLY worth the headaches. I literally triple boot my notebook now. Gentoo, XP and Ubuntu. The Ubuntu Gnome/Compiz works great. I can't even get it to work in Gentoo. SAME F'N HARDWARE! The stupid nVidia drivers are all whack and have stopped supporting my GeForce 440 card -- I can't change the card so I'm screwed with older drivers. Yet, somehow Ubuntu works in composite mode (albeit a tiny bit pokie). WTF? I look at the major notebook players like Dell and now Lenovo talking about distros to support and they both choose Ubuntu. I look at distro-watch and Ubuntu is #1, with gentoo #13 with 1/4 the votes. I'm not quite ready to jump ship yet, but someone please tell me the _very near_ future is brighter for Gentoo. Give me some hope... /rant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I would like to clean its contacts If you have some corrosion, or scale build up, alcohol may not work. For tougher issues on cleaning electrical surfaces, go to a hardware store and get 'steel wool'. It is a disorganized bundle if very fine metal fibers that can be used to clean gold, stainless, glass, copper, tin or just about any other surface you can image. Make sure you put an air compressor on the card after using steel wool to remove all of those micro sized particles both from the surface of the newly cleaned contacts as well as over the entire surface of the PCB (circuit board). Also if the bus slot is dirty or corroded, find and old card and insert it and remove it about 5 times to try to clean the contacts inside the buss slot. Also use compressed air to clean out the buss slot. For compressed air, you can buy it in a can, or get a small card tire compressor, or even a 12VDC air pump that home owners use to fill up inflatable toys around the hose. I attach a needle for filling a backetball ball so that you get strong air pressure, at the tiny tip for cleaning up computers, keyboards and PCBs. good luck, James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I will do it as a last resort, but I would rather understand what happens, and fix it. Thanks, Moshe I've done it on two of our PCs here.

I believe it happened during an upgrade or update of either gnome/gtk or libexpat. I know that the execution of metacity and such settings are set in the .gnome* files. So as a last resort without any help I just figured; why not just delete the .gnome* directories with `rm -rf .gnome2 .gnome .gnome2_private` and then restart X. I was shocked to have seen it work afterwards. I know for a fact that certain programs regenerate their config dirs if they don't exist and I believe that that is what happened. -Original Message- From: Moshe Kamensky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 8:20 AM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] Re: metacity Woes Hi, I don't have a solution, just to mention that I have the same problem (with gnome-2.18.2-r1).

Re: [gentoo-user] Boot situation
Lee Davis wrote: Colleen Beamer wrote: This link tells nothing - it was from the first time I installed Gentoo on the new laptop. This time I *did* configure sata into the kernel. So *that* is not the issue. And I'm not *that* stupid that I would repeat a previous mistake. I truly thing something is screwed up in the kernel-sources for 6.22-gentoo-r5 cause not matter what I select in the Sata section of the kernel config, nothing works. That matches my experience of 2.6.22-gentoo with my M1710. I ended up rolling back to 2.6.18-gentoo-r7 out of frustration; I'm happy to provide my .config if that helps. I followed Lee's lead and installed the last known kernel that I had that worked - genkernel-2.6.21-r4. Now, I can boot, no problem. And I made no changes to my grub.conf file or my fstab file. One piece of advice that I took from someone who posted in the thread (Benno, I think) was that I recreated my partitions and file systems, but prior to doing that I ran 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda' However, I still got the same error message about /dev/sda not being a valid block device when I installed genkernel-2.6.22-r5. So that's when I decided to follow Lee's lead. Before all this mess happened, I *did* have 2.6.22-r5 installed, but when I installed that, it must have used the config from 2.6.21-r4. Now, I'm on the road to being up and running again. Regards, Colleen -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] getting GMT to use DST
Hi All, I have had a machine running for a little while without many problems, until I tried to use ntp to keep my clock in sync. I have got my /etc/localtime and my /etc/conf.d/clock to reflect my GMT location, yet all timeservers I try to sync to put me an hour behind. I am in the UK and currently our clocks are forwards, or is it backwards? Either way I cannot have my machine out 1 hour for half the year. What should my solution be?

What should my solution be? probably because while you are in a GMT location, strictly speaking you are not on GMT time. GMT time does not include daylight savings, AFAIK, otherwise everyone who referenced GMT would have to alter their time according to whether both GMT and their timezone was on daylight savings at that particular time - a big mess, especially for the Southern Hemisphere, or places like where I live, that don't use DST. You need to set /etc/conf.d/clock to GMT (if your bios keeps time in GMT - up to you) and set /etc/localtime to London, or whatever. I think...
