[gentoo-user] gimp-2.6.4 fails with libxcb 1.4
Hello everyone, I just upgraded to libxcb 1.4, and the only side effect so far is that I cannot get gimp to compile.

Yes, but with a twist Those versions will be in the same SLOT so portage will not install both. You can install just one or both manually (i.e. the normal process as described on Sun's site, not using portage) and the jvm will work fine like it does everywhere else. However, you may run into issues with java-config and apps not detecting 1.5.0.12 as the gentoo-specific symlinks are not rpesent. Try it and see.

Answer: Set QUEUE_EXTRA to Tlog\0 and QUEUE_EXTRALEN to 5 in
extra.h. Recompile qmail. Put ./msg-log into ~alias/.qmail-log.
You can also use QUEUE_EXTRA to, e.g., record the Message-ID of every
message: run

Re: [gentoo-user] Formating a USB stick
On October 7, 2009 10:30:23 pm Mick wrote: What's the best way to reformat a USB stick? The thing about USB sticks is that if you want to use them to transfer files cross-platform (Windows Mac as well as Linux) you have to use a common filesystem. Typically, I use FAT32 for this since I don't think Windows supports anything else that Linux and Mac can both deal with (NTFS support in Linux is still unavailable on most machines) So, if you're going to go with FAT32, you can use fdisk to partition your stick as usual, and mark it as type b (Win95 FAT32) (there's a few options related to FAT32 in there, but I *think* that that's the right one). Write to the stick and exit fdisk. Then when you're back at the prompt, run: # mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 ...if sda is in fact your key. You can even add -L LabelName to attach a label to the stick: # mkfs.vfat -L USB Stick /dev/sda1 I'm pretty sure spaces are ok there... If not, nuke the space ;-)

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: New laptop is slow.
I just finished installing Gentoo on a Dell Vostro Now that it's working how do you like the screen, size, etc? That's one of the laptops I've been considering. You just have to admire and honest (Dell) company I had a Dell laptop a few years back. It was the reason for maybe 2 years I didn't have a PC at all (which is very strange for my life). I think almost every single component on it broke in a matter of 18-24 months. It was purchased through a university, and I think the IT department must have thought I was using it as a frisbee on a regular basis . A friend around the same time had a different model and it was also a pile. Not that N=2 statistics mean anything, of course. Not sure anymore, but Dell was built on two basic policies: 1) Make profit by cutting out the middle man (you had to order things directly from Dell) 2) Buy the cheapest (crappiest) parts in bulk and assemble. I'm using Apple now, and aside from an entourage of complaints on the assume user is an idiot (fixed by running Linux) and proprietary hardware (everything can be hacked), the beast is rock solid. Of course, one of my friends has the exact same model laptop and he had to ship it back like three times, so...who knows? Then again, the price of Vostros will blow Macbooks out of the water. I guess you could just buy two Dells and cannibalize one when the keyboard/powersupply/harddrive/optical drive/usb port/ethernet port/screen hinge breaks (a short list of my old Dell problems).

Re: [gentoo-user] glib-2.20.5 failed
Hello, I follow the Installation guide of gentoo. I'm in step Does anybody know what should I do ? The first thing I *always* do when installing a fresh Gentoo system and hitting a bug: 1) Google and look at the first page 2) Put the failed package version in /etc/portage/package.mask and try to build it again (or look at gentoo-portage.com on another PC and emerge the specific version if you don't want to remember to clean out package.mask later). Maybe this sound strange to some people, but it fixes around half of all problems I've had I think, so I'd almost put it before Googling the error during an install. In any case, it shouldn't hurt you to try, anyway. Regards, daid

Wnen I recompile ati-drivers I get this: snip Found sources for kernel version: 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 You have DRM support built in to the kernel Direct rendering will not work. I usally aways put my video driver stuff into the kernel, not as a module.. You can't since you want to use ati-driver/fglrx. The fglrx is not part of the kernel, it's only shipped in the form of a binary-only closed source kernel module. fglrx doesn't need (and most likely will fail as you see) the in-kernel radeon drm driver. So, either disable radeon AND drm in your kernel, or build them as modules and make sure that they are not loaded before you try to load fglrx. -- Jesús Guerrero
