Re: [gentoo-user] Re: jffs2 on gentoo
On Sun, 16. Mar, W.Kenworthy spammed my inbox with I believe that writing a file to a single location is not the way to do this: you need to write a byte to the usb key in the same location, but need to ensure it continually changes: perhaps rotating 1's/0's. Alternatively, the concern is that the FAT/inode table or the like is where the most wear will occur - perhaps concentrate there? Yeah, if I have the stick mounted sync and always copy and delete a file, some bytes should get flipped around regularly. *If* there is no internal wear leveling, that is. On USB sticks with internal wear leveling, you will, from a size of about 1 GB upwards, never (Well, perhaps after 10 years...) see a failure due to media wear. For the record: My USB stick has now gone through 78560 read/write cycles and is still happily copying.

[gentoo-user] expat upgrade, kdelibs: circular problem?
Hi folks, I am finally getting through the expat update. I am currently stuck at kdelibs for what looks like a circular problem (or a linking problem). Forums and google tell me of problems with kdelibs and expat upgrade, but mostly qt3 related -this seems not to be the case. The ebuild stops with: ../dcop/dcopidl/dcopidl ./ksycoca.h ksycoca.kidl || ( rm -f ksycoca.kidl ; false ) ../dcop/dcopidl/dcopidl: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So I equeried dcopidl, and dcopidl belongs to kdelibs itself! What does it mean? kdelibs needs a working kdelibs itself to be built (very strange)? Or when it compiles dcopidl, fails to link it against the new expat? Or I failed at finding the dcopidl ebuild?

Re: [gentoo-user] I've hosed portage
Hi, another thing that might help is not generating the cache at all. It appears that we can get away with what is in /usr/portage/metadata/cache. I've put -metadata-transfer into FEATURES to tell portage to skip the Generating cache stuff, and added the following to my /etc/portage/modules: portdbapi.auxdbmodule = cache.metadata_overlay.database I don't guarantee anything, but I've been using this approach for a while (a year or so) and never had any problems. I also am using squashfs+aufs for my portage tree, which - apart from speeding things up here - has the nice little effect that /usr/portage now only takes up about 50MB in a .sqfs image. You will need to get aufs from the sunrise overlay, but if you are not comfortable doing so you can use squashfs+unionfs as explained in this gentoo-wiki article [1] If you intend to use aufs, Martin Väth (who is also the current maintainer of eix) has written a nifty little init-script for handling those images (see initscripts.tar.gz on [2]).

[gentoo-user] Sharing a printer to XP: Samba vs IPP
Hi, This is a question about a small home network set-up for printing. I can't tell if this is OT for this list, but that doesn't seem to be a firm restriction in this part of the world in any case! I have a locally attached printer on a Gentoo machine. I have a Windows XP laptop. I would like to print from my XP laptop over the network to the printer. I have followed the guide on gentoo.org. I've sort of got printing working via Samba, but haven't been able to configure it for XP users to print without having to login to Samba. So I'm looking back at using IPP on the XP laptop. Anyway, the main question is, is Samba a preferred option, or is it just more complicated than using IPP? There are a couple of brief lines about printing via IPP in the Gentoo Printing Guide, but a whole separate guide on using Samba. I can't find any information on use of IPP vs Samba via a brief Google, but maybe I'm just not searching very well. Regards, David -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Non-portage nVidia driver install.
Hi all, I just built myself a brand new AMD64 system with an EVGA Geforce 9600GT. This vid card requires a newer version of nvidia drivers (171.06) than is available from portage, so I will have to install it manually. I am wondering if there are any gotchas I should keep in mind before installing it, as in, do I need to unmerge the current unsupported drivers? Should I use package provided? Will 'eselect opengl set nvidia' still work? Shall I just shut up and install it ;) Thanks for replies, -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org ...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected... - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972 -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

The HOWTO discusses the configuration as was done in 3.10, not with webapp-config. Where should I go for more reading to learn how to configure my apache configs so that I can access those pages again?

Re: [gentoo-user] I've hosed portage
Please !!! This was installed in an empty VM and it would be real slow to recompile all of Gentoo. There has to be a way to fix it. Pointers and links greatly appreciated.

Anyway, I'm not really sure what state my portage is in right now, except that now every emerge command returns [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ emerge --info Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/emerge, line 31, in ? import emergehelp, xpak, commands, errno, re, socket, string, time, types File /usr/lib/portage/pym/emergehelp.py, line 7, in ? from portage_const import PRIVATE_PATH,PRELINK_BINARY,HASHING_BLOCKSIZE File /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage_const.py, line 7, in ? from portage_const import PRIVATE_PATH,PRELINK_BINARY,HASHING_BLOCKSIZE ImportError: cannot import name PRIVATE_PATH I already tried http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml but it didn't help. Me thinks I should have done a quickpkg! Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, festus pgpZZ8JiUAAAG.pgp Description: PGP signature
