[gentoo-user] Don't know what portage wants here

[Nikos Chantziaras]

Can someone decipher this one? As far as portage errors go, this is the 
most nonsensical one I've seen in a long time (before you ask, boost and 
boost-build are not masked anywhere):



===
emerge -auDN --with-bdeps=y @world
[...]
!!! The following update has been skipped due to unsatisfied dependencies:

dev-libs/boost:0

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-util/boost-build-1.58*" have 
been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your 
request:

- dev-util/boost-build-1.58.0::gentoo (masked by: )

(dependency required by "dev-libs/boost-1.58.0-r1::gentoo" [ebuild])
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
===


I've also tried --backtrack=20 (then 30, the 40, then 50), with the same 
result.

They're essentially identical for testing the upgrade. The newer version
has a few more bugs fixed, so I would go with that, especially if you
want to play around with mod_http2.

In addition to what mjo said, you can also follow bug 468302 [0] to
keep up to date with how the stabilization is going.

[gentoo-user] Upcoming Apache 2.2 _> 2.4 upgrade

[Dan Johansson]

According to the news item from 2016-01-27 Apache 2.4 is soon about to
be "stabilized". In portage we have to versions, 2.4.16 & 2.4.18, of
Apache 2.4 available. Can someone say which one of those two that will
be "stabilized"? Reason for my question is quite simple: I want to
unmask that version on my development server to do some tests.

I like media-video/avidemux. If the output encoding is the same as the input 
encoding, it's quite fast.

Thanks Meino, and everyone else who suggested avidemux. I've used that before 
but forgot all about it. It seems to do the job nicely.

[gentoo-user] TOR-Browser Bundle: And the rest was silence...

[Meino . Cramer]

Hi,

I got a interesting problem:

When using Firefox 44, I can watch Videos for
example from YouTube and can hear the audio.

When using the newest TOR-Browser bundle, videos
are playing fine...but without any sound.

I have no clue, what happens here.

Any help to fix that is very appreciated...
thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Meino

[gentoo-user] Getting rid of strigi

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to get rid of strigi, ie it not having to be built,
yet or is it a case of putting up with it building and then finding how
to turn it off?

[gentoo-user] Qt-creator, libQtcSsh and Botan - angst.....

[Andrew Lowe]

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to build the latest, V3.6, of Qt-creator? I'm
attempting to do so and am getting a problem related to libQtcSsh.so and
something called Botan. Reeading in more depth in the error, it appears
that it can't find basic_string, for example:

*

/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qt-creator-3.6.0/work/qt-creator-opensource-src-3.6.0/lib64/qtcreator/libQtcSsh.so:
undefined reference to
`Botan::User_Interface::User_Interface(std::__cxx11::basic_string const&)

*
There are about 15 errors of this type. I've found a mention of this on
gmane for a distro called Alt Linux, but there is no remedy. Has anyone
come across this error and managed to fix it before I spend lots of time
tracking it down?

Regards,
Andrew

Hi Neil,

exactly for the same purpose I use avidemux:
media-libs/avidemux-core
media-libs/avidemux-plugins
media-video/avidemux

Before doing something serious with it, make a copy
of any video you have and figure out, where the 'A'
and 'B' marks start and end...its annoying to have
one GOP of a commercial left in the middle of an action
scene... ;)

Last thing:
You need to cut this way:

The stream:
Start of the GOP...delta image...delta image...delta image...delta image
Start of the next GOP...delta image...delta image...delta image...delta image

You can put the 'A' mark anyway between the start of the GOP and the
end of the GOP. BUT you need to put the 'B' mark exactly at the start
of the next GOP.
By switching between the 'A' mark and the 'B' mark before cutting, you
can see whether the images will fit together...

Sometime you have to move the 'A' mark a delta image forth or back...

Often a couple of GOPS are repeated after the commercial has ended.

Good luck!
Best regards,
Meino

It may have been. It isn't now though, and I still get the message.

Yes, it seems not to be related to BOINC. Even so, I decided that recent 
security changes required me to mount BOINC's partition in the default 
location /var/lib/boinc instead of under my home directory, where I used to 
have it before the graphical manager became useful. That's made no 
difference either.

No, I hadn't seen that, but reading it prompted me to make the change I 
describe above.

I've used avidemux, simple and easy.  For more involved jobs I have used 
cinelerra, which is a more professional tool with (much) more functionality 
than you might need.  I have also used projectx (Java application running in 
MSWindows).

However, these days I don't have any of these applications installed and just 
use 'ffmpeg -ss' to split the original file and 'ffmpeg -f concat' to stitch 
together the pieces which are of interest to me.  I don't advocate this as an 
easy way to get the job done, but it works as intended each time.  ;-)

[gentoo-user] OT: Simple video editing

[Neil Bothwick]

I'm looking for a simple video editor to remove commercials from recorded
videos (MP4 format). I don't need fancy effects and I would prefer not to
transcode the video, just drop the bits I don't need. MythTV does this
very nicely with MPEG-1 videos, does anyone have any recommendations for
newer formats?

Note: I have used eix before, I'm looking for recommendations not search
results.
