[gentoo-user] portage has blocking packages that are not installed
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 hi list, this probably isn't new but i didnt find any reference to it on the web and in the mailing list archives, so i'd like to apologize in advance to repost a possibly long answered question. when i try to emerge system --deep --newuse -upv portage tells me this: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: snip Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3 (is blocking media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1) [ebuild U ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3 [1.2.2] -build 415 kB [...] snap but when i then try to unmerge firefox (emerge unmerge mozilla-firefox) this is what i get: snip These are the packages that I would unmerge: www-client/mozilla-firefox selected: 1.0_pre-r2 protected: none omitted: none 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. snap how can a package that is obviously not installed be blocking anything? and even more important: how do i resolve this issue? just unmerge the version of firefox that is installed? i'm not absolutely sure, but AFAIK this has happened before and just unmerging the installed version of the blocking program did not resolve the block on the not installed version. any help is appreciated! best regards, alexander -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC6MEiw4sGV/pPyAwRApBDAJ99b+BiO0wjLMlX2Ef2z9TBjfGkegCfURf7 yLBMc9pSKgEGgscDN7J6pqI= =nyl5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It can't, but your package is installed and is blocking. that certainly explains a lot! or update your firefox to a newer version. already tried that. it wont build because of unmet dependencies. but i know what to do now. thanks a lot! alexander -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC6MVUw4sGV/pPyAwRApx8AJ0bGsGVX6PtKZUrXgLzzr3/5wHGSACcDaSE dPH6UpbNJ0qcenllClgg5is= =UEG0 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] OT: thermal management diff 2.4 vs. 2.6

There is as far as I know no option in the kernel config for thermal management on these machines. I am clueless as to why is the fan behaving differently, it simply shouldn't. I'm not an expert here, but could it be the kernel is not using some kind of CPU idling when it's not busy? Maybe the CPU is actually running hotter than it used to. Just an idea, may not be founded in fact. ;) Well, if there's no means to control when the fan starts it probably _is_ something like this. i'll try some earlier 2.6 kernels then since Stefan earlier stated that this change didn't occur at the 2.4-2.6 switch but somewhere in the early 2.6 series (IIRC before 2.6.7). i'm hardly using the machine anymore because that goddamn fan is just too annoying and if i try to compensate by turning up my music the neighbors will complain after a while ;( pgpLKdcj94NW6.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-ppc-user] OT: thermal management diff 2.4 vs. 2.6
Hi list, since i dont't know where else to ask this question i figured i might as well ask it here. i'm running gentoo on my tibook 550 (powerbook3,3 that is in kernelspeak) and noticed that with a 2.4 kernel as well as under macos the fan hardly ever kicks in, even when the computer gets quite hot while with the 2.6 kernel the fan wouldn't stop running. while this aproach is probably bying me some more lifetime for my computer, it is seriously annoying not to have at least an occasional moment of silence when sitting in front of the box. i already tried searching the kerneltree for suspicious expressions like fan.*control and such but so far without success (meaning i found only acpi-related stuff). can someone please give me a hint where else to look or even where else to ask this question? any help is appreciated! thanks in advance and best regards, alexander pgphsJlYyASOe.pgp Description: PGP signature
