Re: [gentoo-user] OO fails with useless 65280 error on unoxml
I've been getting the same silly OpenOffice compile error for a couple
weeks now. Nothing I can search up or think of seems to do the trick.
Here's the end of the output during compile:
1 module(s):
unoxml
need(s) to be rebuilt
I had hoped to never ever see this error again, looks like my hopes were
dashed.
Long answer: The reason for the failure is in the build log, but it is never
just above the error message. It is often many 1000s of lines higher.
bugs.gentoo.org is infested with bug reports of this kind of thing, to get any
meaningful answer you *MUST* follow the instructions in the ebuild and build
with MAKEOPTS=-j1, also switch off distcc and cachecc as well.
Using the ebuild instructions for building, the compile still fails,
but the error above the fail is very slightly more useful:

228 rmdir /tmp/30017
229 make: *** [stamp/build] Error 1
So we at least can say that redland libraries are somehow related to
the problem at hand. The only similar error I could find on google
(http://www.mail-archive.com/allb...@openoffice.org/msg391683.html)
appears independent of OO and implicates libcrypto as a problem.
With this information in mind, I re-emerged redland and openssl
(libcrypto belongs to openssl).
I was digging through the emerge logs, and I have successful builds of
OO-3.0.0 from a couple months ago. The thing that is very interesting
is that code that is failing in 3.1.1 (librdf_*.cxx) was never even
compiled in 3.0.0! The objects are there, the C++ codes are patched,
but they are never compiled according to the emerge log.
Having read the similar error from redland, I also notice something
else suspicious:
Log from 3.0.0 successful build:
checking which redland library to use... internal
Log from 3.1.1 failed build:
checking which redland library to use... external
If you didn't read the link on the only similar bug I googled, here is
an excerpt:
Building (with o3-build) fails because redland links agains the system's
version
of libcrypt. It later fails in unoxml because the linked-in lib is not found
anymore:
The error itself is quite similar, although the undefined reference
itself is different (excerpt from above link):
Checking DLL ../../unxlngi6.pro/lib/check_libunordfli.so ...: ERROR:
libcrypto.so.0.9.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dmake: Error code 1, while making ´../../unxlngi6.pro/lib/libunordfli.so´
So why is OO using the external (system) redland libraries which are
later not found, and how can I force it to use the internal redland
libraries? (Please note: for this discussion, external library is
the same as system library)
There's no use flag, but the openoffice ebuild suggests:
# Upstream this
echo --with-system-redland ${CONFFILE}
I should note that in the 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 ebuilds (I have them on
backup -- they were removed from portage) redland is not a direct
dependency of OO, and in fact, if you search the older ebuilds for
'redland' you won't find any occurrences.
So, time to comment that line out, ebuild digest, and /var/log... |
tail -f | grep redland
checking which redland library to use... internal
Now I wait for the compile. I suspect at least something should be
different this time. Will post with a further report since this issue
seems more serious than I at first suspected.
Also..Walt: I checked all the java items as suggested, but nothing was
out of place to my eye; thanks for the sanity check, though.
Regards,
daid

Extra reboot time amounts to a few secs vs not booting at all, dammit! You are missing the point. That behaviour is wrong and I cannot overstate that enough. If your system requires an fsck at every boot to even reboot at all, then there is something badly wrong with your filesystem. Enabling an fsck at every boot for ext2 is merely working around the problem at another level and not addressing the actual problem. So please stop arguing with people who are trying to help you and instead find out why your system is exhibiting incorrect behaviour. My first guess is that the filesystem is not being correctly unmounted at shutdown and is therefore marked as dirty at next startup. Ext2 does require an fsck under those circumstances as the chances of data corruption are vastly increased - the assumption being that power to the machine was probably removed abruptly. There could be many reasons for this and you will have to investigate your shutdown process carefully. Do you disagree with my logic as stated above?

Right. wrong Of course, if there are serious filesystem structural problems you'll want to get them solved, but it's either a LiveCD chroot or disable fsck at boot.

You can change that if you want, and send your reboot times sky-high.. Before that it wouldn't boot at all. That would appear to be a completely separate issue. Exactly. In fact, we had a lab computer running a 2.2 kernel and it was failing fsck and wouldn't boot, so I just turned off the fsck at boot. Hey, the filesystem could be corrupted, but it boots! ~daid

Re: [gentoo-user] OO fails with useless 65280 error on unoxml
Success on compiling OOo! I'm quite certain it was the ebuild, and that making it use the internal redland and not the system redland was the issue in my case. However, I've undone my changes in the ebuild and began compiling again so that I can confirm it fails with only that change. I had also rebuilt redland, but as I told OOo not to use the system redland, that's why I'm checking again with the default ebuild. Presuming my guess here is correct, then I need to make a bugzilla post on the matter. That's probably true anyway since I got the message: * QA Notice: * Package openoffice is breaking /usr/share/config permissions. * Please report this issue to gentoo bugzilla. * Permissions will get adjusted automatically now. But that could be from my tinkering in the ebuild as well. My assumption on the cause of the problem is that I'm missing some dependency of redland that OOo expects, and it's not called in explicitly by portage. Either that or somehow I diffed my own install (would be news to me). FWIW, here's what I have (my OOo build works fine): dev-libs/redland-1.0.9-r1 dev-java/lucene - 2.3.2 app-office/openoffice-3.1.1 (bash-completion cups dbus gstreamer gtk java kde ldap -mono -odk) These are the same as mine, with the exceptions that my lucene is slotted and my OOo has less USE flags.

Running $ id as the user in question at the command line on both machines ought to do the trick. ~d Yes, the uid/gid is 1001 on both client and server. I'm going to do some research on mount options to see if there is some tweekage that can ge done there. In the mean time, this should work, but isn't. BTW, the nfs mounts are done via /etc/init.d/nfs, which does a mount -a nfs. Thanks for your time. Any suggestions are more than welcome. -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.

[gentoo-user] Phonon and non-ascii character with non-UTF8 locales
Hi fellows, I'm writing this e-mail to ask for a test. Everyone who are using KDE 4 and a non-UTF8 locale please do the following steps: - Pick a .mp3 file and put in a place which the path (or the name of the file) contains an non-ascii character, like an accent. - Try to open it with Juk, Dragon Player or Amarok and see if it is played. - If not, remove the non-ascii character and try it again. I'm proposing this test to confirm that it is a real bug on Phonon. My locale is pt_BR.ISO-8859-1. I have done this test and I realized that I can't play any files by Amarok, Juk or Dragon Player that fits on that condition. When I switched my locale to pt_BR.UTF-8 and so the filename, the problems are gone. I won't start a discussion why I (or we) shouldn't move from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8, the short answer is because I don't want due to the huge numbers of files encoded this way and for a better Windows compatibility. If you find this bug also, please, let me know and post at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198008 The goal is to change the bug status from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED, what will hopefully make the KDE devs correct it more faster, because I'm facing it since KDE 4.1.0. -- Ronan Arraes Jardim Chagas Control and Automation Engineer Gentoo Foundation Member signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] fsck won't work if ac cord not attached?!
you guys are killing me -- the problem goes away when the ac cord is plugged in. I open files watch videos surf the web and so on -- no problems. I'm no expert, but that would seem to suggest that the fs is OK, no? I set this forth above. Did your eyes glaze over at that point? Roy Marples, who is a(the?) openrc developer, roped me into using git to do whatever git is supposed to do and now it's much worse. /dev/sd1 and 2 fail to mount as before PLUS many init services fail to start PLUS it no longer matters if the battery is being used or the ac cord: Chaos ensues, castles crumble, empires totter ...

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [OT] Seamonkey and LastPass
chrome://messenger/locale/messengercompose/composeMsgs.properties: Dale wrote: So, another question. Is there a tool that is local and would do something like this? I am using Seamonkey 2.0 nowadays. It seems to have some tools available to it that the old Seamonkey doesn't. Dale :-) :-) There is a tool I've used in the past called PasswordMaker. It uses a master password and a flexible set of parameters to generate passwords and if necessary, enter them on a site. It has a plugin for firefox and I believe seamonkey too. I can't check this second because their site appears to be down (bandwidth exceeded). It doesn't store the passwords anywhere and will only store the master password on your machine if you specifically ask for it. Once you enter the master password and select the appropriate settings (length, character set, hashing algorithm etc etc), the password will be generated. You can also use the current website as a salt, so using the same settings will yield a different password for different sites. Sounds like I'm advocating this very heavily, in fact I don't have much experience with it. It sounds reasonable to me, but I'll let you guys discuss it :) Matt I saw this on the plugin site. I notice it generates passwords but I'm pretty good at that myself. I doubt anyone would guess my password for my bank and credit card. They are not based on anything, not birth dates, Social Security number, account number or anything like that. I used to use a password that had some of the characters above the number keys but I got tired of typing all that mess in. It may be more secure with them but the bank chose to block my password manager from filling them in automatically. I changed it to something easier to type in. Also had a few rounds with the bank too. The changes they made do not make anything more secure than it already was. Several universities did studies and some of them said it made things worse by providing a false sense of security. I did not notice that it had a fill in feature tho. It may not work with my bank but I may try it since it appears to be a local thing and doesn't transmit anything to a third party. Lastpass seems to do this. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)

It's a peer support group like this list, but some developers also hang out there. I'm thinking about going back to Seamonkey 1. Just like KDE 4, it's just not quite ready for everyday use. It works as far as what is supposed to be working but still has a few issues that need to be ironed out. That chrome thingy is just one of them. I was wondering about that thing tho. I'm not real sure what that is all about. I looked around the preferences but couldn't find any way to change the behavior. I'm not sure about the certificate thing tho. Since Konqueror also does it, it may not be the browser but the bank website and others. I also went to a site last night that didn't work too. I meant to make a not of that but forgot. If it was just Seamonkey then I would agree 100%. Since Konqueror does it to, that deducts a few points from it being just Seamonkey. Dale :-) :-)

Which is why Lastpass needs to let someone outside see their code, sort of earn the peoples trust. Even tho Seamonkey 2 has a few issues right now, I still trust it. I am not worried that they are logging my keystrokes or anything like that. Lastpass, as some have pointed out, could be doing just that. We don't *really* know what they are doing other than what they claim. I like the idea behind it but lack the trust, sort of like Alan I guess.
