What I am more after here is just curiousity of what new packages have popped into existence. You can also view http://packages.gentoo.org to see the latest. On -dev or -dev-announce they have a list every week or so of what was removed and what was added. Just subscribe to the list and wait for the email. Dale :-) :-)

[gentoo-user] Website disabling right click
Hi folks, I have this website that I purchase products off of and this is getting on my nerves. I'm accustomed to right clicking and opening in new tabs and such, especially when searching for products. Is their some way I can disable them blocking right click? Each time I right click something, it gives me a pop up thing. I'm not trying to steal some pics from them or anything, I just want to be able to surf the way I am accustomed to. If you would like to see the site, here is a link. http://www.etoolnet.com/ It's not porn or anything. It's just for air conditioning supplies. I'm open to maybe some extension thing like adblock, which is also installed. I'm not much on editing source code tho. ;-) Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

I'd already looked for a later version of e2fsprogs-libs but there isn't
one. Any other ideas?

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE-4.3
Look at the output again. You don't need an earlier version of e2fsprogs-libs,
you need the very version that is the blocker.
But, to install KDE, portage wants to build util-linux first and it can't do
that because you have an incompatible version of e2fsprogs-libs already
installed. So like I said earlier,what you need to be is *first* give it a
version of e2fsprogs-libs, then remerge kde whereupon you will likely find
that util-linux no longer complains (as it likely finds a version of
e2fsprogs-libs that it is happy with)

[gentoo-user] bluetooth keyboard on embeded device
Hi all, I have a C-BOX 134 system that I'm using as a mythtv frontend. It's running a VIA Nehemiah 1Ghz processor, which with XvMC can play dvds and ripped movies just fine, but doesn't have a whole lot of horse power for anything else. I recently received a bluetooth keyboard that I'm trying to get working with the system. I can get it working with bluez using the old-daemons use flag and manually running 'hidd --search' while the keyboard is in discoverable mode, so I know it will work, but I'm having a lot of difficulty setting it up. In order to get the keyboard into discoverable mode you have to press a button with a paperclip. Also since it's not paired yet, when the keyboard enters a sleep mode, it won't reattach to the pc when it wakes up. So I can't just add the hidd command to the startup scripts and have it work. I've tried to set up the /etc/init.d/hidd startup script, but it doesn't seem to want to connect to the keyboard that way. I've tried bluez-libs/bluez-utils versions 2.25 and 3.36, and bluez 4.39. The 2.x versions gave me compile errors with some undefined variables. 3.x and 4.x seem to work ok, but I can't make sense of the documentation for either one, and the examples that are provided always error out. Does anyone here have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse setup and working? Or does anyone know where a good, working walkthrough/howto/wiki on how to set one up? Thanks in advance. Chris

Re: [gentoo-user] Question regarding VIDEO_CARDS and unrelated question regarding USE flags
Alex Schuster wrote: Oh, I just see that on my desktop machine xorg-server already got re- compiled without fglrx. I see no adverse effects yet, but then OpenGL never worked really well here. As I understand it the VIDEO_CARDS parameters (fglrx, radeon, etc.) only controls what drivers should be pulled in when building xorg. So it should not matter much; I'm just curious as to why it's removed from the flags when for instance nvidia is still there... Out of curiousity, what doesn't work for you with regards to OpenGL? For me almost all fglrx drivers have worked flawlessly for years. I'm hoping to migrate to the open source radeon driver as soon as it's stable with my current chip (rv670 - radeon 3870).

[gentoo-user] serio / atkbd / PS/2 Strangeness with Serial port adapter
Hello! Apologies if this really is't the right forum (suggestions on the right forum would be welcome). Our company presently operates a large number of thin client terminals running LTSP, with a shared NFS root filesystem, and all that stuff. To remove the external runtime dependencies from the image, I've built a gentoo ramdisk that contains all the tools needed for the terminals - which can be downloaded via tftp. Things are working well - except for one problem. One the new image, some of the input devices don't work we expected. As you might imagine in a production environment, we have a number of different barcode scanners that attach to these terminals. Many of the new ones are USB HID compliant devices - which is great. Most of them are actually serial port devices, that connect to the terminal via a serial -- PS/2 'wedge'. The PS/2 wedge devices are the ones that don't work correctly. If we connect the scanner to the thin client, and boot the image, the scanner does not work. It does not show up at all as an input device: blablahostname / # cat /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c001 Version=0110 N: Name=Logitech USB Mouse P: Phys=usb-:00:03.0-1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/pci:00/:00:03.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/input/input0 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event0 B: EV=17 B: KEY=7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=103 B: MSC=10 I: Bus=0003 Vendor=03f0 Product=0024 Version=0110 N: Name=CHICONY HP Basic USB Keyboard P: Phys=usb-:00:03.1-2/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/pci:00/:00:03.1/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/input/input1 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event1 B: EV=120013 B: KEY=1 7 ff9f207a c14057ff febeffdf ffef fffe B: MSC=10 B: LED=7 I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100 N: Name=PC Speaker P: Phys=isa0061/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/pcspkr/input/input2 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=kbd event2 B: EV=40001 B: SND=6 So, I enabled debugging on the contoller driver(serio.c), and I see that the device generates noise when connected: [ 458.875614] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: f2 - i8042 (kbd-data) [444989] [ 458.908119] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fe - i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [445022] [ 458.908144] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: ed - i8042 (kbd-data) [445022] [ 458.940151] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fe - i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1, timeout) [445054] [ 458.940225] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: d4 - i8042 (command) [445054] [ 458.940234] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: f2 - i8042 (parameter) [445054] [ 458.972190] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fe - i8042 (interrupt, 1, 12, timeout) [445086] [ 458.972204] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: d4 - i8042 (command) [445086] [ 458.972212] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: ed - i8042 (parameter) [445086] [ 459.004227] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: fe - i8042 (interrupt, 1, 12, timeout) [445118] [20171.684870] drivers/input/serio/i8042.c: 0b - i8042 (interrupt, 0, 1) [20162195] However - the atkbd driver does not pick the device up at all.

Hello, I'm a new Gentoo user and I'm having somewhat strange problem with my install (using gdm and Gnome 2.24.1 on amd64). Every time I turn on the system and run Gnome I can't open any application. For example - if I try to fire up terminal, Starting terminal... window appears in the taskbar for a few seconds. After that, nothing happens. I have to kill X (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) and run Gnome again. The second time everything is OK... Until the next reboot :) Every time I try to start a program I get something like the following message in my log: AUDIT: Wed Aug 5 10:51:55 2009: 8520 X: client 17 rejected from local host ( uid=1000 gid=1006 pid=9676 ) After some googling I found other users with the same problem (or error message, at least :) ). They had disabled consolekit and enabling it had helped. I've tried adding it to the USE variable, updating my system and enabling the service, but it didn't help. Deleting the ~/.x* files was unsuccessful too. The new version (masked) of xorg-server didn't solve the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

[gentoo-user] Packages in other architectures (arm)
I've just come into possession of a few of these fabulous little machines: http://www.marvell.com/products/embedded_processors/developer/kirkwood/sheevaplug.jsp They have 512mb ram, 1ghz Arm CPU and a sketchy jffs2 hard drive inside, along with an SDHC slot, one USB plug and one gigabit ethernet port. Naturally, I'm turning them into a little cluster of web/mail/dns/torrent servers :-) Unfortunatly though, I've discovered that one of my favourite command-line based torrent clients, rtorrent doesn't have arm in its KEYWORDS variable. Can someone tell me why this is? If it's just due to it not having been tested, I'd be happy to do that, but I'd need to know the right way to do that.

You want to share your compilation tasks with others good. Do you have enough rights to launch emerge localy ? So you have to launch emerge with feature distcc on. What about the other hosts that may help you compiling ? They have to run the distcc daemon, with your IP on the authorized list. Do you have enough privileges to manage/configure the distccd daemon on other machines ? That is the question. You have to ask for it to the admin if you cannot do it in your own. I just want to let you know that shared compilation faces some issues depending on packages: I failed to upgrade gcc using distcc, but disabling it was a fix for my gcc-4.3.2 emerge process. Galevsky

1. emerge --fetchonly e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs
2. Unmerge e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs
3. Emerge e2fsprogs-libs and e2fsprogs. After that e2fsprogs blocked

run the original emerge:
emerge -av1 e2fsprogs-libs
emerge kde
('installed', '/', 'sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.3-r1', 'nomerge')
pulled in by

Re: [gentoo-user] Strange issue with YouTube not working at all in some browsers

They hijack DNS, making every invalid address resolve to an address anyway, which when viewed in a web browser goes to an error page (full of advertisements and sponsored links). You never know if a hostname is really invalid or not, which makes troubleshooting non-HTTP connections interesting. I got the IP of the youtube I go to. Maybe try the IP number instead. http://64.15.120.233/ Hope that helps. That actually worked, sort of. The site and images all load using that IP but videos are apparently served by another host because they get stuck on the loading animation forever. I found a couple other YouTube IPs on Google which also work: http://208.65.153.238/ http://208.117.236.69/ These are the IPs I got for www.youtube.com: youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.100 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.101 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.102 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.113 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.138 youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 72.14.213.139 So at least I'm getting a little closer. Going to try to find my ISP's DNS servers and perform the lookups on them to see what the difference is. Thanks, Paul I believe I've solved it. I was using the level3 DNS servers (4.2.2.x) which return a different Youtube address than the other open DNS servers or running my own DNS server locally. So my guess is that maybe level3 (GTE, Verizon, whoever it actually is) has one of those special Google servers over on their network. Getting rid of those DNS servers has resolved the problem. Youtube is working normally again. Thanks all for the help.
[gentoo-user] Mounting a big drive for stuff - /mnt or /media
Hi there, I'm in the process of commissioning a box which has a large hard drive on which videos, mp3s stuff will be stored. On all my other machines, such drives are mounted at /mnt/space (and a second drive at /mnt/morespace) I have a notion to move to a hierarchy under /media/ - something like / media/space or /media/videos or /media/disk1, /media/disk2, /media/ disk3, ... I can't remember WHY I came iup with this idea, however. Googling, I can find more than one message to this list in which I assert this intention and state refer to a discussion on this list which led to it. However I can't find that previous discussion itself. http://www.linux-archive.org/gentoo-user/168375-mediatomb-media-server-users-permissions-media-videox.html http://www.nabble.com/Autofs-or-ivman--td14647701.html The only thing that springs to mind is that /mnt was originally used by system administrators to temporarily mount removable media. I think the FHS comes into it. But right now this isn't terribly convincing, particularly as I currently expect to be using one BIG volume, so there should be no need for more than drive mounted in this way. Can anyone persuade me or provide other reasons for using /media? Thanks in advance, Stroller.

You want to share your compilation tasks with others good. Do you have enough rights to launch emerge localy ? So you have to launch emerge with feature distcc on. That is done. I am a sudoer on the other machine but I don't have the root password, nor do I just want to cavalierly set it as it's not my machine. What about the other hosts that may help you compiling ? They have to run the distcc daemon, with your IP on the authorized list. As the other machines are located across the public internet, it is my understanding that I should *not* run distccd but instead let mine log in with ssh to launch the compile. Do you have enough privileges to manage/configure the distccd daemon on other machines ? That is the question. You have to ask for it to the admin if you cannot do it in your own. Should all be set up. Only problem is that I don't think my machine can log in as root to the remote machine without the remote machine's root password, right? I just want to let you know that shared compilation faces some issues depending on packages: I failed to upgrade gcc using distcc, but disabling it was a fix for my gcc-4.3.2 emerge process. all gcc's are the same version.

Re: [gentoo-user] installing/upgrading with emerge from non-root
I changed the permissions on my machine. On the remote machine, it shouldn't need root permissions just to compile programs, right? -Kevin - People originally thought the eternal question was: Why am I here? But now we know the question is actually: Why is THAT THERE? -Me --- On Wed, 8/5/09, Stroller strol...@stellar.eclipse.co.uk wrote: From: Stroller strol...@stellar.eclipse.co.uk Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] installing/upgrading with emerge from non-root To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Date: Wednesday, August 5, 2009, 1:58 PM On 5 Aug 2009, at 16:14, Kevin Haddock wrote: I'm trying to do distributed compile with a remote machine that I don't have root password to.

If someone doesn't want you to have the root password or to change it like that, then you're already (changing permissions of your own user randomly changing permissions of programs) messing around with the machine more than you should be.

RE: [gentoo-user] meld broken, maybe by python 2.6 update?
hostname bin # meld No module named pygtk Meld requires pygtk 2.8.0 or higher. I tried re-emerging pygtk but it didnt help. How can i make pygtk 'locateable'? Did you run python-updater? Be prepared for a long list of packages which need rebuild. This might also include such beasts like openoffice. No I havent. I was hoping to avoid that for a while to let things settle, which is the way I performed other python upgrades and hadnt caused me a problem before. Oh well, I guess I'll take the plunge...
