[gentoo-user] emerge world and doubled portages
Hi all yesterday I emerged the nvidia-drivers. All went well. Then I ran 'emerge -NDpvu world' (I set nvidia flag in make.conf) and found out to have 2 versions of qt (3.3.8-r3 and 4.3.0-r2) and 2 versions og gnupg (1.4.7-r1 and 1.9.21). So I unmerged gnupg-1.4.7-r1 and ran 'emerge -NDpvu world' again. gnupg-1.4.7-r1 was listed again with [NS ] instead of the previuos [ R ]. May someone explain to me why? The same for qt. I should have to re-emerge some kde portages. How can I use qt4 instead of qt3? Thenks in advance. emilio -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I've sent emails to myself before (from root to user), and they worked
well.
I'm not sure what the purpose of telneting my own system it, either.
Would I be looking for an open port?

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge world and doubled portages
Hi! yesterday I emerged the nvidia-drivers. All went well.

I should have to re-emerge some kde portages. How can I use qt4 instead of qt3? This is quite correct. Having multiple versions of a package installed is often necessary. This is the case. Some of your programs require qt3 to function, others require qt4. There are applications not prepared for qt4 at all. When you unmerged one of the qt's, you probably disposed some package(s) of their dependency, so emerge -uD promptly re-emerges the now-missing qt. The [ R ] flag means an already-installed package was to be re-emerged. Then you unmerged one such package and [ R ] became [NS ], which means a not-yet-installed package version is about to me emerged. Both qt and gnupg are slotted packages here - meaning it's possible to have multiple versions installed at the same time. Slotted - that's the S tag in [NS ]. So by and large, the right thing to do here is let emerge -NDpvu do what it wishes to do and keep both versions of both packages. If you want as many applications as possible to use qt4, adding the qt4 USE flag may help. May or may not. I don't know what exactly this flag does in all those ebuilds using it. -rz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Telnet clients are useful debugging tools. You can connect to a service (in this case SMTP, on port 25) and then manually implement the service's protocol for troubleshooting purposes. For Example, in this case my message couldn't be sent because it (evidently) contained an invalid header, but the same commands would work if connected to a different server. I can see the error message; if I was maintaining this server, I could perhaps adjust my proxyd-filter.pl file, or suggest that my users adjust their mail headers.

[gentoo-user] {OT} Video encoder
I'm looking for an easy way to encode the video files I acquire into a single format and level of quality. It would also be nice to be able to easily burn a DVD of the resultant file that will play on a home DVD player. I'm sure there are at least several choices in portage and probably sunrise, but does anyone use one they are happy with and would heartily recommend? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] rsync via ssh
Hello, I'm trying to use rsync to back up my home directory on mymachine to another machine (backup_machine) using a cron job. This is the crontab entry (in rmason's crontab): 0,15,30,45 * * * * rmason /usr/bin/rsync -av /home/rmason backup_machine:mymachine_rmason The logs on backup_machine show entries like this when the cron job runs: Nov 3 17:30:06 backup_machine sshd[22048]: error: PAM: Authentication failure for rmason from mymachine.esd.mun.ca Nov 3 17:30:06 backup_machine sshd(pam_unix)[22052]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=mymachine.esd.mun.ca user=rmason I have passwordless ssh between mymachine and backup_machine and the rsync command in the crontab runs perfectly from the command line. Does someone know what else needs to be done to get this (seemingly simple!) task to work? Many thanks, Roger -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I used it successfully to encode video to X264, audio to Ogg Vorbis, and put everything into a Matroska container. It offers a much wider encodings and containers choice (like XviD and MP4). The interface is clean and HIG-compliant. Not sure if it fits your needs, though. Regards, Liviu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
RE: [gentoo-user] rsync via ssh
Try adding -e ssh to your rsync command. Search for -e in the rsync man page for an example. === This is the crontab entry (in rmason's crontab): 0,15,30,45 * * * * rmason /usr/bin/rsync -av /home/rmason backup_machine:mymachine_rmason I have passwordless ssh between mymachine and backup_machine and the rsync command in the crontab runs perfectly from the command line.

[gentoo-user] tftp config problem (ltsp)
I am trying to get LTSP working here.
All appear on the right track with one apparent problem, tftp'ing the file.
When I boot a client it appears to pull in the network information but
when it starts to tftp the file, I receive a message that the file is
not found on the client display.
I have been following the instructions here,
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ltsp.xml
and of course alter to what I need for my system.
Am I missing something obvious or something less so?
Thanks,
Sean
