[gentoo-user] sys-apps/acl with nfs support
Hello, I try to compile the sys-apps/acl package with the nfs option, but I can't set the flag. I add to my portage.use sysapps/acl and nfs but if I emerge the acl or virtual/acl emerge doesn't use the nfs flag. Now I have installed sys-apps/acl Installed versions: 2.2.49(23:33:57 05/09/10)(nls -nfs) and I need the acl support on the nfs share. How can I recompile the acl package with nfs support?

[gentoo-user] Mailman - /usr/local/mailman still used?
Hello, Some time ago one of the mailman minor updates (2.1.9-r3) introduced major changes with the location of lists and archives from /usr/local/mailman to /var/lib/mailman... My question is, is *anything* in /usr/local/mailman still used by mailman? Or can I safely rm -r that entire directory?

So usually for me it's more for finding problems than resolving them, but I guess I'm so used to doing it that it's no big deal. I remember it used to take days, but nowadays if I start it in the evening it's usually done in the morning, or if I kick it off before leaving for work it's usually done before I get home. I also make a habit of doing a full bare-metal restore of one of my machines once a month to make sure my backups are good.

For now, I'd suggest just going back to to 1.2.43 if you can -- maybe mask 1.2.43 in package.mask? Meanwhile I'm trying to fix firefox so I can read the bug report mentioned by Andras. well I'm getting into a .la hell... you need to rebuild packages which are themselves not invalid and therefore can't be found by revdep-rebuild... searching with grep png12 `find /usr/lib64/ -name '*.la'` lists all .la files with a bad png version, rebuilding those will fix the system. after that all packages found by revdep-rebuild can be emerged. Rudmer run la fixer ah, yes I knew there was something easier 8-) well running `lafilefixer --justfixit` did not find anything so I got them all thanks! Rudmer sadly, it does not get them all. The only save way: grep -R for png12 and remerge all packages whose files pop up. For example revdep-rebuilt failed to rebuild pygtk - because of glade. But it never tried to rebuild glade... In my box (~amd64, unmasked portage) emerge automagically slotted 1.2 and emerged 1.4 in slot 0. And everything seems to work and be happy. revdep-rebuild finds nothing wrong. So maybe the easy fix is to emerge libpng:1.2? yeah, thats what I have now... I still need png 1.2 for VMware Player. but in my case, I had 1.2.43-r2 which is in slot 0?! so on install of 1.4.2 it deinstalled the 1.2.43-r2 version. manually installed 1.2.43-r1 to get 1.2 back. You're right, in fact after updating again it wanted to downgrade because of nxserver... So I masked 1.2.43-r2 and now everyone is happy again.

It's either the drive or the disk.

I doubt it, but it depends on what you mean by the hardware layer.
The drive is reporting errors when it is trying to read the disk. I
suppose that could be due to buggy firmware in the optical drive
(which technically isn't a hardware failure).

I think it is a good idea myself since they have to be re-emerged for them to work anyway. What difference does it make if portage does it for us or we do it manually, after finding that command to find out which ones to rebuild. This could be solved with sets, a @need-rebuild set similar to @preserved-rebuild. Sets also deal with the original suggestion, since re-emerging a set rebuild all the components of the set, although not their dependencies, unlike rebuilding a meta-package. Although this still can't do what was asked for because a set will contain apps and not the libs they depend on. I actually created a xorg-drivers set for this. At least I have something easier to type in rather than that somewhat small line of chicken scratch. lol I just hate trying to start X after a upgrade, it not starting and me usually with no clue as to why. I ran into this the other day and I don't think xorg was even updated. Still not sure why it failed but rebuilding those got it working again. Dale :-) :-)

You use VIA_IDE which is very old driver from: Device Drivers ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED) (Notice the big (DEPRECATED)). You should use PATA_VIA from Device Drivers -- *Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers -- * VIA PATA support and uncheck Device Drivers --- ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED) using kernel menuconfig. Then compile and reboot to your newly compiled kernel and now your dvd drive should be seen as /dev/sr0. Fingers crossed, that is software-fixable ;) Thanks a lot for your help!

No! Resist those temptations The Devil(TM) puts in your way. Why would you consider running Yet Another Windows vm when you could just as easily run an ~x86 gentoo vm instead, and answer your own questions about the latest versions of evolution? My only interest here is whether I can advise the (very few) people I know who depend on MS Exchange to switch to linux/gnome/evolution as a reasonable alternative. (I'm happy to say that I'm not one of those people, but it's only my good luck that I'm not.) How do you happen to know what recent versions of evolution have to offer if you are not actually using them? Come on now, you already know vbox very well, so how much time would it cost you to do a binary vbox install of gentoo ~x86 to test evolution for yourself, eh? I'd really like to know the answer to your question about evolution, but I have no way of testing it myself -- or I would be testing it right now.

It will be a while before I have everything backed up the way I want it to be before I try switching to Ubuntu. If you mean something else, please clue me in. ++ kevin
