If that fails, unmerge rawstudio too. Run emerge -u @world then re-emerge
rawstudio. It may well clear the problem but even if it does not you are
now dealing with a single blocker on an up to date system.

[gentoo-user] re: nVidia GeForce 210 and nvidia-drivers-334.21-r3
I've had to replace my GPU today. Prior to attempting to start X with the new GPU in, I thought I'd pull in the latest updates and reboot the system. X wouldn't start as a result.

Re: [gentoo-user] Weird portage behaviour
On Sunday 13 Apr 2014 22:48:43 Rick Zero_Chaos Farina wrote: The real answer is almost certainly dynamic-deps. The binary packages store the deps from BUILD time, while when you are installing things live, it allows the current ebuilds to update the deps even for installed packages. That means, after you install a package, if the deps in the ebuild are changed, portage will take that into account for source builds, but binary packages are LOCKED to the deps from the time they were built. Why dynamic-deps aren't available no matter what? Now that's a great question... But I'd only just finished an emerge -eb world on the build host to re-create the packages.

The other link basically describes the bug as catastrophic. They both included two links (both the full links and shortened versions). They would have been posted 4.13.2014 and 4.14.2014. They never showed up, on this list AND on the GnuPG mailing list. The message immediately showed up on the TOR list. Definitely sounds like there would be some problem somewhere. Can you please file a bug at https://bugs.gentoo.org in the Mailing Lists component of the Gentoo Infrastructure product? Provide as much details as possible; eg, extract the mail from your Sent folder. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D

I've incorporated it into a simple script to find all the missed packages and list their atoms in a form suitable for piping into emerge. You might not want to do that; those are _build_ dependencies, not _runtime_ dependencies. You don't need them for the package to run. At last, I understand the difference. I might even pipe the list into emerge -cv for kicks. Pity I needed a full-size clue-stick to beat the lesson in :-( Thanks again - also to Neil. -- Regards Peter
Re: [gentoo-user] x11-terms/terminal - not found
Yes, updating the eix cache solved the problem.
Thanks.

What x11-terms/terminal was replaced with?
I'm trying to emerge it and eix is showing me:
eix x11-terms/terminal
* x11-terms/terminal
Available versions: 0.4.8 {dbus debug}
Homepage:http://www.xfce.org/projects/terminal/
Description: A terminal emulator for the Xfce desktop environment
But when I try to install it I get:
emerge x11-terms/terminal
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy x11-terms/terminal.
eix offers some powerful search features, you should use them ;) .
% eix -sSC xfce -sS terminal
* x11-terms/xfce4-terminal

Looks like the package was simply renamed... on 28th December *2012*:
*xfce4-terminal-0.6.0 (28 Dec 2012)
28 Dec 2012; Samuli Suominen ssuomi...@gentoo.org
+xfce4-terminal-0.6.0.ebuild:
Version bump with rename of x11-terms/terminal to x11-terms/xfce4-terminal.
It's really been a while since you refreshed the eix cache, hasn't it?

How would I do that? It is not really that important to me to post something that, by definition, is off-topic anyway. Unsubstantiated rumors from anonymous 'sources', is not really all that important to me. Nor is if the NSA knew about the bug 2+ years, 2 seconds, or just when the bug was identified. They've already suffered quite a beating from Snowden's 'information' (would someone tell me HOW exactly a private contractor could have that level of security clearance, anyway? never mind). The bug's fixed - no damage done. We just have to trust that or get off the grid entirely.
Re: [gentoo-user] systemd-networkd: simpler config for my network
On Monday, 31 March 2014 16:14:44 MSK, Stefan G. Weichinger wrote: Aside from all the discussions around systemd, I simply gave the new systemd-networkd a try. It helped me to simplify my config for my main machine where I run KVM for virtualization and need a network bridge: I browsed through the man pages before and it seemed like systemd-networkd can't yet be configured to enable SLAAC on IPv6 interface. Am I right? And this is such a common configuration...
Re: [gentoo-user] re: nVidia GeForce 210 and nvidia-drivers-334.21-r3

X wouldn't start as a result. I've googled for answers, but haven't found a solution so far. Nvidia dropped support for the GeForce 210 in their 334 series. It's still there in the 331 series, though, if you want to downgrade. Same thing happened to me a while ago with my old 7800GT. I don't have any reason to buy a new GPU, so I switched to nouveau.

[gentoo-user] foo2zjs make install error
Hi all: I'm having a problem installing a print driver, foo2zjs, downloaded and compiled from source. This is a driver for a HP P1505n printer. (hplip is not an option as this printer needs further firmware that is not generally available). The error message I'm getting at the make install command is: Error - foomatic-rip is not installed! Install foomatic packages for your OS make [install test] Error 1 My box is a Dell 780 with no-frills Gentoo. I also have a Dell 3500 with the same basic setup, but on that box the install went fine and the printer works. To stay out of TL;DR territory, a short list of what I have checked so far: - re-installed cups, cups-filters, foomatic-db, and foomatic-db-engine, with the same use flags on both working and non-working installs; - removed the foo2zjs package and re-downloaded and compiled from scratch; - started and stopped the cupsd service; - eix shows same cups and foomatic packages installed on each; - neither the working nor non-working install use hplip; - tried the Gentoo package foo2zjs- and the temp.build.log threw the exact same error as building from source; - Googled error message - no useful information. (As a side note, I cannot install foomatic-filters, as it conflicts with cups-filters, which has dependency issues and cannot be removed.) If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be appreciative. If further information is needed, please let me know. Thanks!
