Thanks, I'll try that - though I have not much time to do so, since the machine starts swapping (though it has 8Gb memory). Furtheron I've found out, that sci-mathematics/dataplot had BROWSER=xdg-open in it's /etc/env.d/90dataplot file. Thus it went into /etc/profile.env. I think it's very strange that a package may modify such a vital environment variable as 'BROWSER'. Is this a bug in sci-mathematics/dataplot ? Thanks, and sorry for getting panic-stricken, Helmut.

Re: [gentoo-user] New installation and problem with rp-pppoe
2011/3/30 Andrzej Styczeń styczen_andr...@o2.pl: Hello, I try today install Gentoo on my PC. Every thing go well until to install net-dialup/rp-pppoe then I got: =x11-libs/cairo-1.10.0 [-qt4] How to resolve. If I add the 'qt4' flag to USE in /etc/portage/package.use this not work. If I set it globally in make.conf USE=qt4 - still not work. What for is 'cario' and 'qt' needed if I install 'ppp' or 'rp-pppoe' in console. I will be later install whole KDE (and then maybe is needed) but not now, I think (?). I select profile for KDE, x86 machine. Greetings, Andrzej I believe the line immediately following: =x11-libs/cairo-1.10.0 [-qt4] should state rather clearly something close to the below block (if it doesn't, you may need to run with --verbose to get that, I have verbose set as default in make.conf)... !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/cairo-1.10.2-r1 (Change USE: -qt4) (dependency required by x11-libs/qt-gui-4.6.3-r2 [ebuild]) (dependency required by x11-libs/cairo-1.10.2-r1 [ebuild]) (dependency required by x11-libs/pango-1.28.3 [ebuild]) (dependency required by x11-libs/gtk+-2.20.1-r1 [ebuild]) (dependency required by net-dialup/ppp-2.4.4-r25 [ebuild]) (dependency required by net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.8-r2 [ebuild]) (dependency required by rp-pppoe [argument]) Which tells me, A) it's failing because the qt4 USE flag *is* set, and that adding it more places won't help, and B) you should add an entry in /etc/packages.use for net-dialup/ppp to disable gtk. rp-pppoe is pulling in ppp. ppp (because of the gtk use flag) is pulling in gtk+2. gtk+2 is pulling in pango. pango is pulling in cairo with the qt4 use flag (because of your profile). Something, somewhere, in that list is incompatible with qt4. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M. Murphy
Re: [gentoo-user] Any bought a laptop that Just Works?
At work, we've had a lot of success with Lenovo's. My T61p (3 years old) is fully supported by Linux - wireless included - according the documentations; I can't quite verify as I haven't been able to transition it (yet) to Linux. Colleagues haven't had issues with another model, but I'm not sure which it is off-hand.

James James, Depending on what you are putting onto your RAID watch carefully what choices you make for SuperBlock type as well as being aware of possible md name changes between the install environment and your first real boot. I cannot comment on BTRFS and whether it's a good thing to use with LVS. I've seen varying reports so if this is a learning install then do what you want and have fun. If it's intended to be an in-service machine ASAP then possibly look around for more info on that before starting. Good luck, Mark

Does readelf -s librt.a show that clock_gettime is actually defined? I can't imagine why it wouldn't be, but that's all I can think of.

SD is another kernel module. There are different categories for SD and Memory Stick drivers in the kernel config. Look in the Device Drivers section. I did not see much, but enabled everthing. I cannot reboot for a few days for other reasons... If you're just adding more modules you dont need to reboot, just make modules make modules_install, then modprobe modulename.
