[gentoo-user] Problem with kworld usb dvb-t stick not working
I have been using a kworld dvb usb stick for some time, and after a disk crash decided to move it to a new system, but cant get it to work. I am not sure if I am looking at an eudev, or a kernel 3.8.3 problem.

[gentoo-user] Output of sensor k10temp-pci-00c3
In the recent thread system freezes during compiles, Carlos Henderson showed the output of $(sensors), among them the output of the k10temp-pci-00c3. I stopped trusting that sensor. After some hours of idle, it shows me: k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1:+16.8°C (high = +70.0°C) (crit = +70.0°C, hyst = +67.0°C) 16.8°C is roughly 4°C _below_ the room temperature. If I'd boot to Windows right now, the mainboard-manufacturer's system utility shows a CPU temperature of 25°C (which is more or less the usual value it shows for Windows when idle). My CPU is: processor : 5 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 21 model : 1 model name : AMD FX(tm)-6200 Six-Core Processor stepping: 2 microcode : 0x6000626 running on an Asrock mainboard (Kernel is a gentoo-3.8.1-r1). My question to the list is: Could this strange temperature be realistic? Does anyone have similar observations with AMD-Bulldozers? Sascha
[gentoo-user] netqmail fails to do CNAME lookup for lists.gentoo.org
Hi list, I'm glad to see that my mail from yesterday did finally leave the queue of my netqmail install. I'm recently having trouble to send mail to lists.gentoo.org via my netqmail. It says that it is _temporarily_ unable to do a CNAME lookup. But mails stay in queue until they eventually bounce. I have now configured a static smtp route to pigeon.gentoo.org and mails seem to go through. I'm currently using google's DNS in /etc/resolv.conf (But the results from the DNS server of my ISP are the same): I think that the real problem is, that $(dig @8.8.8.8 lists.gentoo.org any) [1] doesn't give me a MX-Record at all. Also, directly asking for a MX-Record doesn't seem to report one[2]. I'm not too deep into DNS, so I'm asking for any clues on how to really solve this issue?

Now *that* is what I call explaining something in a nutshell :-) problems switching OpenRC and systemd withouth needing to recompile anything. However, that means no upower and no udisks at least; GNOME cannot run without any of those. XFCE needs them if the udev USE flag is enabled, which is enabled by default in Gentoo desktop profiles, and in KDE the three of them are optional dependencies turned on by default. You can turn them of in XFCE and KDE, but you kinda lose functionality without them. I do indeed remember having to fight the KDE use flags so that I could pull kdelibs without pulling the whole set of u* things someone decided that were required for a desktop environment (the fun thing being that I wasn't even using KDE as a DE). But I hope you don't mean the GNOME *libs* will be requiring logind/Consolekit/... in the near future? That would cause me some trouble, as I rely on evince a lot. A good overview though I don't agree with If you don't 'need' Did your desktop really fail to run at all? I don't need any of this u* or other things for my desktop computer to work. Maybe this is related to the fact that I don't run a desktop environment, even if I use linux for desktop computing and run X. Why are dependencies suddenly getting a lot worse (ignoring konquerorFM without kde) when for so long dependencies were understood to be a big problem that must be fixed. It can only be bad design if a desktop does not work at all because 1% of the functionality is missing and may well have been replaced in every case above by alternative and in some cases superior (permissions) that may override others (sessions you don't use), choices of functionality. Bad design, bad choices by developers, people who don't want to accept binary distros aren't the only thing around, and people who don't have a taste for simplicity. Is it really a freedesktop when almost all the rest are free-er? freedesktop seems to be doing a good job at creating standards where there were no standards, the problem is that (IMHO) they seem to be coming up with bad standards to fill the gap (see clipboard/selection handling), and sometimes it is actually good to have things done in different ways. -- Nuno Silva (aka njsg) http://njsg.sdf-eu.org/

[gentoo-user] portage insists in pulling in sys-apps/kmod
Hello, Some of my servers are running with a kernel without module-support. On these servers something has started to pull in sys-apps/kmod, which when compiled complains about missing modules-support in the kernel (as it should). Doing an equery d sys-apps/kmod I can see that the following two packages depends on sy-apps/kmod: sys-fs/udev-197-r8 (kmod ? =sys-apps/kmod-12) virtual/modutils-0 (sys-apps/kmod[tools]) sys-fs/udev has -kmod in its USE-flags, so that should not be an issue). # emerge --verbose --pretend sys-fs/udev [ebuild R] sys-fs/udev-197-r8 USE=acl openrc -doc -gudev -hwdb -introspection -keymap -kmod (-selinux) -static-libs 0 kB With virtual/modutils its an other thing, here we have a circular dependency between virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod if the tools USE-flag is set. So trying to resolve this a unmreged virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod and tried the following: # USE=-tools emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y world --pretend --tree These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
