What do you have in make.conf and package.use regarding qt packages and those
USE flags? Do you have any qt packages in your world file (you should not have

Maybe I am misreading something here. Maybe I've not expressed my problem propertly :-( Do you remember which profile you have used before. I am asking because maybe it was the 2007 or 2008 profile which was depreciated and portage somehow switched to the 10.0 profile but not the desktop profile you had before. This caused some confusion when looking at eselect profiles list, as it lead to the impression the 10.0 profile got depreciated which is not the case.

I'd suggest switching back to the desktop profile and resyncing before messing with anything else. -- Neil Bothwick Strike any user to continue signature.asc Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] net-print/cups-1.4.1 and USE=samba?
Hello, I'm confused about some of the changes in cups' ebuilds, and ChangeLog didn't provide a real answer. The stable arch cups 1.3 series ebuilds have samba USE-flag and respective deps on samba packages, but ~arch 1.4.1's ebuild only lists samba in IUSE -- no deps lines for samba are there. Actually AFAICT, the samba USE flag isn't used at all, although it is still listed in IUSE. Question: is this just a left-over USE-flag in the ebuild's IUSE, or is there something more dangerous going on? -- Arttu V.

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT?} What happened to iexplore in wine?
I haven't used wine's /usr/bin/iexplore to test a website in IE for a while, and now it looks like that binary is no longer installed. Does anyone know how to get it, or if there is a replacement of some sort? I looked at the files installed by wine in /usr/bin but didn't see anything. In my experience, even when IE works in Wine it doesn't work exactly the same as it does on a real Windows machine. I think a much more reliable way to test things in IE is to download the free XP and Vista virtual machine images from Microsoft which are intended for exactly this purpose: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=21eabb90-958f-4b64-b5f1-73d0a413c8efdisplaylang=en And here's someone's blog about converting the VirtualPC hard drive image into other formats for use on Linux in Virtualbox: http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/running-microsofts-ie-application-compatibility-images-virtualbox Rather than downloading several virtual machine images, you could just download one and install IETester into it: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage which lets you do browsing with IE versions from 5.5 through 8 and side-by-side comparisons between versions. Thanks Paul. I'll set this up ASAP. Virtualbox didn't work for me the last time I tried but that was a while ago. - Grant

The tag editor trashed my .ogg files. Might also be an effect of some vorbis tools, it does not happen any more. The collection get screwed up, tracks show up with wrong artist. The scanning process takes incredibly long. When I move an album folder into another location, it takes quite a while for amarok to re-scan it. And it does not respond during that time. System load gehts rather high, even dolphin is slow then. I have all my audio files in /data/mp3, with many sub-directories I included in the collection paths, but amarok seems to scan the whole /data/mp3 directory, with folders that are not marked to scan. When I select a single folder somewhere else and let amarok rescan the collection, all the other stuff is still in the collection. At least sometimes, I just did that again and now it seems to work. I had a few crashes also, when moving audio folders. But I still like it. It looks really nice, I like features like the wikipedia information or song texts. The bugs will be solved eventually, missing features like transkode integration or visualization will probably come. I am patient. Amarok really rocks. Wonko

I am running into the same thing. I'm updating everything else then
going to tackle this. In theory, you have to unmerge device-mapper then
let it update. Something like:
emerge -C device-mapper emerge -uvDN world
That's my plan at least. Unless someone else posts a better one.

[gentoo-user] xdm doesn't restart on killed X
I've recently switched from gdm to xdm in an effort to reduce my distro size. The only problem I've run into is that when I kill my X session, xdm doesn't restart automatically.

Re: [gentoo-user] cdrecord fails to burn dvd
José Romildo Malaquias j.romi...@gmail.com wrote: Did you ever write a DVD-R with this hardware? Yes I have written some DVD-R discs with this hardware. When I bought the notebook and installed gentoo in last January, burning with cdrecord (from cdrtools) used to work. Sometime later (about one month, but I am not sure) it stopped working. Probably after some upgrade. I do not remeber exactly. By then I could not look at the problem because of lack of time. Since then I have been using Nero Linux for recording DVD-R discs without problems. Some information I have sent in previous messages may not be accurate enough because I have forgotten to change the media to a new unused one. So I am attaching a new file with the output of some requested commands. With the messages you send, it cannot be cdrecord but either your drive or the Linux kernel. One interesting point is that cdrecord is unable to do a DMA speed test. THis may have different reasons and without knowing the reason, I cannot say more... You may try to call cdrecord -v -checkdrive -V and have a look at the SCSI read buffer command. You also may try to reduce the transfer size to 16 kb by adding ts=16k to the command line in hope that it is a driver bug that goes away with smaller transfer sizes.

[gentoo-user] ASUS 1005HA: some strange bugs going around
I've got my netbook basically set up to do what I need, but there are 3 problems remaining, which seem to be fairly basic bugs. (1) I've already mentioned the problem of compiling Lm_sensors. Dale refered to Bug 282261, whose conclusion seems to be to try the latest testing version 3.1.1 , which I will do tomorrow. (2) Fluxbox is working nicely, as it does on my desktop machine ANB3, but I thought I'ld have a look at Xfce, which looks nice in SystemRescue. Xfce opens as root, but not as user ! -- there have been lengthy debates in the Arch forum, which seems to be a different world from Gentoo (smile), but nothing seems to have been resolved. It ought to be a permissions error, but there's no sign where it might be happening. There's an error msg Module fbcon not found, but that may not be the real problem. (3) Dillo can't start dpi daemon (no such problem on ANB3). I can't find anything sensible have no idea what that daemon mb. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Otherwise, I've installed Gkrellm (incl a battery monitor), Gvim, Feh, Xpdf, Xcalc, Gnumeric, Mirage, Ristretto Lynx (from its own source); also Thunar (its site tells how to reduce the size of its font) Terminal (Xfce, same author), which also cb fine-tuned for the netbook.

[gentoo-user] change signature based on recipients (evolution)

Re: [gentoo-user] Has mysql become compulsory - Part 2
Programmers all seem to have gaming rigs. It's been a struggle to keep hal and dbus off my machines. And I was unhappy when Firefox put SQLite in as a hard dependancy. I think you'll simply have to give up on KDE and its applications. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
[gentoo-user] Font recommendations for netbook?
Fluxbox is blowing up on my new machine because it can't find any fixed fonts. I just realized that merely building xorg-server doesn't download any fonts. Looking at /usr/portage/media-fonts I see a whole bunch of options. Any experiences good/bad with any of them? Remember that this will be on an 11.6 netbook, currently running 1024x768, and hopefully 1366x768 one of these days. And the less processor power it requires to render, the better. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

If you use Postfix as an outgoing mail server (running on your box, if necessary, then relaying to your company's server) this is probably easy. I'm not sure if that's the way you want to do this, but I think it's one approach. Stroller.

Re: [gentoo-user] Resuming after hibernate
On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 08:18:11AM +0930, Iain Buchanan wrote Did I read that right? You have a setting in lilo.conf that makes your font unreadable? Then why do you have that in lilo.conf? You didn't read the entire post. The *DEFAULT* result of 'VGA=6' in /etc/lilo.conf gives an 8x8 font which results in an 80x60 display. *IN ADDITION* I set 'CONSOLEFONT=lat1-10' in /etc/conf.d/consolefont, which gives me an 80x48 row display, using 8x10 font, which is *MUCH* nicer than 8x8 font. The reason I do 'VGA=6' in /etc/lilo.conf is because that is a quick-n-dirty way to kick the display into a 480 scanline mode, instead of the default 400 scanline mode. It's a lot safer and easier than screwing around with SVGATextmode (is it still around?). Anyhow, upon resuming from hibernation, Gentoo remembers the 480 scanline mode, but does not remember the non-default font, which is why I have to reset the font via the OnResume option. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

Maybe reverse their order or even try opendns. Verify your network is working normally: Visit a few sites. Ping you ISP and other sites.

And I was unhappy when Firefox put SQLite in as a hard dependancy. I think you'll simply have to give up on KDE and its applications. hal and dbus have as much as zero performance impact. And dbus also replaces dcop. So there there is a system less running. mysql embedded is also a very low load.
