Hi, if you want a quick solution you can check the ebuild to verify that it actually does what it's supposed to do and then run $ ebuild /usr/portage/net-firewall/iptables/iptables-1.4.0-r1.ebuild digest after this the emerge will go ahead normally.

If the former then 'md5sum -c completefile' will fail with no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found or similar due to the fact that completefile is not a list of checksums. If the latter, then how are you generating [1..7]? If you are using the split(1) command to split the files and are not passing at least -a 3 to it then your file is going to be truncated do to the fact that the suffix length is too small to accommodate the thousands of files needed to split a 1GB+ file into 200k chunks.

[gentoo-user] Digital photo enhancement?

Re: [gentoo-user] Automounting of USB drives
The kernel automounter (autofs) was not designed with removable media in mind, so it's not the best choice for the job. Nearly all Linux desktops today come with a hal/dbus based solution for mounting USB devices on demand. Thanks for the info and suggestions from others, since I am using gnome, I will look into gnome-volume-manager to take care of removable media for me.

I'm not sure if the -N feature will catch those changes or not. It may
even depend on the version of portage you are using too. The newer
versions of portage has a lot of added features but even it may not
catch those. You may try emerge -vNDp world and see if it sees which
ones needs to be emerged for them to take effect. That may cure the
other problems as well.

Re: [gentoo-user] locale issue to clean up
Mark Knecht wrote: lightning ~ # cat /etc/locale.gen en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 Just to be safe, try running locale-gen again. The glibc ebuild does this automatically, but if you've changed locale.gen since the last time that ebuild ran, you need to run locale-gen to pick up the changes. lightning ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale LANG=en_US I think that adding LC_ALL=en_US in this file should be all you need. Basically, your locale is made up of about a dozen different settings that describe how to display things like dates, money, big numbers, sorted lists, etc. Each of these options has an LC_* variable associated with it. Additionally, there is a LANG variable that specifies which language translation to use (LANGUAGES is a GNU-specific alternative to LC_MESSAGES, IIRC, and I rarely specify it). LC_ALL is used if you know you want the use one locale for everything, and specifying LC_ALL=en_US will automatically set all of the others for you. Setting that end rerunning env-update ; source /etc/profile should get rid of those locale errors. Looking above I don't have LANG or LC_ALL entries and the LINGUAS is suspect. If I was to convert them to your settings do I then need to rebuild any apps that use them? You don't need LANG/LC_ALL in your make.conf if they are set properly in your environment, e.g. in env.d/02locale, since they are both run-time environment settings that you want to be the same everywhere. LINGUAS is a build-time setting that tells any localization-aware autoconf scripts to install the language translation files for the set of languages you listed. Having LINGUAS=en en_US in make.conf is correct, it makes sure that only English-language translations are installed. (Not all applications are LINGUAS-aware, so you will still see a lot of other languages you didn't ask for.).

[gentoo-user] Gmail and that stupid spam filter. :-@
Hi, I recently switched to gmail. I did some searches to see how to disable or just make it so gmail's spam filter does not move anything to the spam folder. They don't work. Does someone here know of a way to get rid of this thing? It's getting on my nerves and I am even considering switching to Yahoo or something. I even thought about just marking everything it thinks is spam as not spam. Sort of mess up their stuff but if it works, may try it next. Thanks! Dale :-) :-)

The source files for the locales should be in /usr/share/i18n/locales and /usr/share/i18n/charsets. That is, you should have all of the following: /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US /usr/share/i18n/charsets/ISO8859-1 /usr/share/i18n/charsets/UTF-8 /usr/share/locale/en_US.ISO8859-1 /usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8 Um, on my system, i have /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/IS8859-1.gz notice charmaps vs charsets the other folders all have en_US files and folders, no utf8 extensions. And my locale stuff seems to work fine. Do you actually have those files on your computer or did you just type them from memory and get them wrong? I do locale -a and get: C POSIX en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.utf8 also, I do locale-gen and it succeeds and I don't get any of the files you mentioned. Heres my suggestion to the original poster. I would heed the warning in the gentoo guide not to set LC_ALL. I also have a lot of other files under those directories and I would just leave them alone, but if you want to delete them, just move them so you can move them back later if it doesn't help. I think one of your problems might be that you need to set all your locale variables in 02locale. Then do eselect env update and relogin. Also you should have 644 permissions on these files. cat /etc/env.d/02locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=POSIX LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 cat /etc/locale.gen en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.utf8 UTF-8 You may be correct about setting all of this in 02locale. I noticed that the Gentoo formatting stuff for vi is treating LC_ALL and LC_COLLATE differently than LINGUAS. The manual seems to say set system wide stuff in 02locale and user stuff in your own account. [[ Two minutes later... ]] OK, I changed 02locale and just put your values in. I rane eselect env update, logged out and back in. For the first time locale -a looks good: lightning ~ # locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=POSIX LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL= lightning ~ # locale -a C POSIX en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.utf8 lightning ~ # At this point I may be clean but I'm going to emerge glibc just to be sure. Back later... Cheers, Mark Hi all, OK, it appears that this has solved the problem as best I can tell right now. The two most consist manifestations of the problem - error messages when running layman and warning messages when starting k3b - are all gone. The solution in my case for anyone who might find this thread later was: 1) Move all the locale stuff out of /etc/make.conf. I now only have the LINGUAS statement in there. 2) Move all the locale stuff into /etc/env.d/02locale. I'm not qualified to say what the right set of statements in 02locale might be. I copied the ones kindly provided by smallnow. I did not set LC_ALL. 3) Possibly most important run eselect env update. I've been running the older env-update script. I guess I did miss the memo! ;-) At this point the machine seems the happiest it's been in months. I'll of course have to watch it go through some updates over the next few weeks but the obvious issues seem solved. Good night, over and out, Mark

Can you ping the router? Yes, usually my first test during network hookups. Its just such a natural thing to ping outside for testing resolv.conf, that its quite aggravating every time I forget which machine I'm on and try it from the one where it won't work. Not only can I ping the router... but I can connect with tcp to anything I want to on the internet. Its just that I can't ping the internet. So its something I can live with for the most part but every so often the ingrained habit of ping testing something outside will cause me some aggravation. That would seem to indicate some sort of icmp blocking but again, I can not see any evidence of that on the router.
