In general you can't because, when you think about it, in the Gentoo world most packages don't contain installable files. The files don't get created until build time, and then the files that are installed depends variably on USE flags, CFLAGS, architecture, FEATURES, etc. etc. So the set of installed files created by a package on my system can be different than the set of files created by the same package on your system.

This only works for files already on your system which is ok if thats what you want. If like in this case you are trying to locate a binary thats not installed - how do you find what package its in?

So, removing the symlink and cp /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so to /opt/netscape/plugins32/libflashplayer.so fixes the problem.

[gentoo-user] [OT] How to capture a screen video?
What application can I use to capture a video sequence of events on my desktop? I'd like to do stuff on an application and create a video of my mouse clicks and responses from the application. Is there anything other than xvidcap which seems to be hard masked? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE? Get me out of here!
I wrote: Here's a list of my current KDE bugs. There are many, fortunately most of them are really minor issues. [58 KDE bugs] I forgot two. kio_thumbnail does not seem to save the results, and scans folders again, causing loads of 20. And the password dialog when the screen was blanked does sometimes (under heavy load) not react. A solution is to enter Ctrl-Alt-F7, then the dialog is responsive again. Whatever. But all this does not matter any more in any way, because all will be fixed soon, as I just see KDE 4.4.5 is in portage! Emerging it right now. Wonko
Re: [gentoo-user] Mailing list policy on reply

Sometimes I receive a personal email response to a message that I have posted to the list. This seems to happen because the person that kindly responded has for some reason cc'd me in the reply. If I try to reply to it the post will not go to the list, but the person that emailed me. Pressing 'l' in kmail just brings up an empty to field. This seems to happen only with some replies. Will keep an eye out for it to see if it is consistent. It apparently only happens when someone hits 'Reply All' instead of Reply_to_List - and then if you have your list preference (at least in mailman) set to not receive duplicates, you will only get the personal reply... Irritating, I know... but it is pointless to complain about it, I just deal with whatever I get silently and worry about more important things, like who we should be hanging for this BP Oil disaster...

A lot of the packages being rebuilt was KDE after all. One of them kdelibs which is a biggie. Hmmm, spell check likes the word biggie now. Odd. I guess Wendy's hit big time. lol Also, I use Seamonkey to surf and check emails and it was being rebuilt too. If I had known this before hand tho, I would have waited until I was going to bed and let it compile while I was napping. Roughly 12 hours of compile time. :/ Dale :-) :-)

No serious problems or anything. Just a lot of packages to recompile is all. Of course, if I had known the new KDE was coming out, I would have waited until today. The new KDE 4.4.5 is out. Now I get to recompile the rest of KDE. :-) Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] Mounting micro SD cards

My plan was to turn off the phone, remove the 2GB micro SD card, make a tarball of what is on there, put in the 16GB one and untar things, and put the 16GB one in the phone. No luck. /dev shows for devices, sd[fghi], and neither mount nor fdisk knows what to do with them. /var/log/messages has this: Since it shows the capacity wrong I think it looks like maybe you do not have an SDHC card reader but only an SD card reader. For cards over 2GB you need SDHC, they use completely different addressing systems.
Re: [gentoo-user] Safe to install libpng-1.2.44?
Hi folks, big_snip / I think the libpng issue shows up a more generic problem: we IMHO dont have a way for recording, which version / interface of some version a package is built against. The need for things like revdep-rebuild also comes from that. I'm currently working on an generic design for that, some ideas: (of course, yet limited to C and similar languages ;-o) * libraries with (incompatible) interface changes should install their headers under some own versioned prefix * library imports should _always_ happen via pkg-config (dont use .la files) * pkg-config descriptors are extended to declare the API and ABI version and generation, so interface breaks can be determined automatically * the package management records which version of some imported library a package was built against (some kind of revdep-scan between compile and merge) * with that information the package management can do an smooth upgrade (w/o temporary breaks until revdep-rebuild finished) cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ -

I had to uninstall a several dozen packages before revep-rebuild would work. After libpng updated, revdep-rebuild choked becuase emerge was unable to determine the order to rebuild packages. After 2-3 hours of unstalling, revdep rebuild finally ran, and then there were several more hours of reinstalling XFCE, gtk, and so on. I finally got things going again, but it wasn't fun. -- Grant

That's why I gave up on graphical logins about 15 years ago. -- Grant
