[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild command doesn't fix broken libs it finds
After a recent emerge -DuN world, messages for one of the packages stated that it was necessary to run revdep-rebuild after emerging the package, so I did. The revdep-rebuild ended up merging six packages, with one of them being gcc. Emerging all six packages took several hours, and I noticed that gcc by itself took a significant amount of time. The final message stated that I could re-run revdep-rebuild to verify that all inconsistencies had been resolved, unfortunately, I did not add a -p to the command and to my surprise it spent the next couple of hours or so emerging gcc again. After that finished, I again ran revdep-rebuild although this time with a -p and below is the output: __ Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild Checking reverse dependencies...

[gentoo-user] DPI is giving me a headache!
Hi All, I changed the monitor on a box that runs kdm/KDE and the fonts on KDE apps are giving me a headache from eye strain. This is particularly bad when working at a console (white letters on black background) and KDE text editors (with black letters on white background). Essentially, the antiailiasing seems to alter the consistency of fonts in an irregular manner causing them to blur (differently) across the screen, as if the monitor resolution is out of sync. The resolution in xorg.conf is set at 360 290 mm, but the DDC picks this up on its own anyway, whether I define it in xorg.conf, or not. I have no modeline set. All I can think that is amiss is the DPI. I seem to be getting a DPI of 90x89: $ xdpyinfo | grep resolution resolution:90x89 dots per inch Could this be the cause of my headache and how should I fix it? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] Can anyone tell me?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hello Mark, I was under the impression that packages with the ~amd64 (or ~x86) keywords are in testing, but no serious instabilities had been found, or they would be hard masked. I have had non-testing packages break my system before, as well. What generally happens is the the environment variables become messed up, or the service dependencies do - either way, I can't use emerge or any of the available utilities to fix the problem, or even find out what it does. About a year ago, I went to a testing system and haven't had any problems, except when I re-install Gentoo. I guess it is always a choice - either go with the stable version of a distribution or you go with the testing version (some people really push the envelope and go for the unstable version). I read up on the keywords, and found out that having the ~mad64 keyword on a package just means that it hasn't been adequately tested on that architecture. That's how people like me help move things along - by testing those packages on our systems, and reporting any problems we find.

Certainly, I always keep packaging in case I need to make a warranty return, and in the case that a PC is just misbehaving, with random reboots stuff, the first thing I do is replace the PSU, keeping the old one in case that makes no difference. I would email the seller in the first instance see what they have to say. If, as a seller, I found I had made such a mistake, I would send you a refund or replacement immediately. As a buyer I wouldn't be prepared to pay the cost of shipping the duff component back to the seller, and wouldn't expect the seller to insist on that. If the seller isn't prepared to accommodate you then give them a negative feedback - a scammer with several negs will be quickly obvious from their feedback score, and will quickly lose sales.

Nah, this guy sells lots of them. The power supply he did mail is brand new -- just not the one I thought I was buying. The box originally had been sealed by Best Buy. The box came with the original Dynex User Guide. My theory: these are cheap run of the mill PSs put into Dynex boxes acquired from Best Buy which used the original PSs in their PCs. The seller took a picture of the box and put that on eBay. When the order comes in he takes a shiny new PS New and puts it in the Dynex box in Box!. So, technically he hasn't lied.

I'm now trying to compile it manually to see if it will work. Please note that this particular machine has no SMART-2 Array controller, so the disks are seen as common SCSI devices (sda and sdb), currently I'm installing the whole system at sda, leaving b untouched for backup purposes when I get this beast up and running. Anyone has any experience booting one of these machines? Not this specific model, but I would start by comparing the boot command and modules loaded from the Minimal CD with what you are trying to use when booting the installed OS. Supplying some error messages, command lines and even a relevant config file or two at this point might be found to be useful by those inclined to help you out of this predicament... I *think* I have one of these old boat anchors out in my shop. I'm not sure if it still boots or not but I may could get you a .config file for the kernel if you have no luck any other way. I say 'any other way' cause I would have to drag that monster in the house and hook it back up to the network to access it. Let me know if all else fails. I'll check the model before hooking the tractor and chain to it. LOL Tell me about it, gotta drag this old machine all the way up to the forth floor.

Chris If I may speak for Neil, he provides a lot of very useful information to the list and is a very courteous poster as well. In my mind, that little lemming that somehow appears along with his emails is the sign of a good addition to the thread. I'm sure he didn't mean to insult you. I hope that you agree that even though you started the thread, the information he gave could be useful to others reading it. I thought it was an informative and well-written post myself, not that yours aren't, but don't be too defensive. We're all here to learn (and perhaps to teach, occasionally at least ;) ) to answer your original question succinctly: Can anyone tell me what packages you know of that will break your system if you choose to put ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 in your make.conf file? no, no one can tell until they are tested, and then they will be marked stable. If I may take a moment to make a few (friendly and respectful!) criticisms of your post, that may have given people the wrong impression, I think there are probably two things that may have done so: firstly, your subject line was 'Can anyone help me?' Sure, you're asking for help, but a more relevant subject line would have nicely synopsized your post. Most people that start a thread here _are_ looking for help, after all. Secondly, I think this: I do know that the only way to fix the problem was to restore from backup, or to try re-installing again. I just want to know which packages are so unstable that I should mask them. definitely made my blood boil a little. It sounds as if, with your gawk case here, a careful analysis of the log files could have perhaps provided you with a few fundamentals from /usr/lib that were missing and only needed to be copied over to / before /usr or /usr/lib was mounted from it's seperate filesystem. (I am just guessing that's how Neil solved this particular problem, although I wouldn't know.) Saying that the only way to fix a particular problem is by replacing the software with a working version is very rarely the case. I hope you can understand how that could give us a little bit of a bad first impression here on the lists, because it consists of a lot of serious gentooers that all seem to share a dislike of reinstalls and backup restorations rather than responding to particular error messages and resolving their problems that way. Perhaps it's just the gentoo way - reinstalling seems to be very popular in ubuntu. Anyhow, my advice to you is to do what many, including myself do - save yourself the headache of running ~amd64, and only use package.keywords to unmask packages as necessary.

However I do find it a little disturbing that this is exactly the same, as a bug that has a creation date of: 2006-03-10, nearly two years ago. I also know that I didn't have this problem until a recent new stable version of gcc was merged. That means somebody is re-introducing bugs that have already been fixed. Making such easily avoidable mistakes does not bode well... Thanks Again, Bob Young San Jose, CA. It has been around for a while but I don't think it actually breaks anything. I have never had a problem with my system and it did that for ages. My workaround has always been to just oneshot everything but gcc and then rerun revdep-rebuild -i -p again to make sure the other problems were fixed. Of course, it would be good if it worked to begin with. Then again, I would rather a bug that breaks something be fixed first too. o_O I have gcc-4.1.2 installed here and I do not get that error. It is masked but no problems for me so far. Could it be that specific version of gcc you have maybe? Maybe someone else can chime in on what version they have and if they get that error or not.

Suppose that we have a style checker that checks a lot of source code files. Once it examined a file and found it to be clean, it should set a property on the file (style-clean). Whenever the style checker is executed it skips files with this property. Whenever the file is modified, the filesystem removes the property. Is this possible? Which filesystems does it work on? One solution would be using 'make'. With rules like the following only modified files will be proceeded: timestamp: myFile doSomthingWidth myFile touch timestamp We have thought about that, but we would like to avoid having a parallel file hierarchy of timestamp files for our source tree. Therefore something like the archive attribute (suggested by Etanoi Shrdlu) would be better. Actually, if there are no other concerns, you'd have to keep only one file for reference. Then you could compare the modification times of all other files with this reference file. #!/bin/bash # initial/full scan touch timestamp.chk find hierarchy | while read some_file do [[ stylecheck($some_file) -eq 0 ]] || touch $some.file done #EOF After this every time you run stylecheck(), you'd have to check only the files having newer time stamp than the one of timestamp.chk. #!/bin/bash # incremental scan find hierarchy -newer timestamp.chk modified.list touch timestamp.chk while read some_file do [[ stylecheck($some_file) -eq 0 ]] || touch $some.file done modified.list unlink modified.list #EOF -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

I don't know the language but reading between the lines, this is my thoughts. This person has subscribed to the digest version of this list. They have set their email to send a vacation reply. So, every time he/she gets a email of the digest version, it sends out a reply that he/she is not there to read the email. Not that we really care that he/she is not there to read it. ;-) [humor] I'm thinking we send him a email that has a attachment that shuts down his email program. That way it will not send all those out telling us he is on vacation plus his spam mail will not be getting confirmation that the address is valid. [/humor] Make sense to you?
