I tried to reproduce the problem, but the Gem installer immediately updates the Rake gem so that the messy gem specification of the old version will no longer be accessed. I suppose the error only surfaces in times when the Rake package is the newest version. Nevertheless, the missing executable specification line definitely is a bug, probably on the RubyGems side, not in Gentoo Portage. Again, and I can’t stress this enough, I'm tired of searching for bugs in these lousy written tools RubyGems and Rake. I will not make any effort to report any bugs there any more and I do not want to be responsible for anything these tools do.

[gentoo-user] Rubygems and Rake problem
Hi, after a long period with a lot of problems installing Ruby Gems and Gentoo packages containing Ruby Gems, I found the following solution: I added a line s.executables = ["rake".freeze] to the file "/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.7.0/specifications/rake-13.0.1.gemspec" (and the other Ruby versions). This fixed all my problems. The longer I do research about that, I am convinced the bug is inside the "to_ruby" method in "/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/2.7.0/rubygems/specification.rb", line 2423. That doesn't produce the "s.executables" line. It gets called from Portage in "/usr/portage/eclass/ruby-fakegem.eclass", line 277. What do you think? Maybe someone likes to confirm this. I will definitely not file any report or patch to neither the RubyGems nor the Rake project any more. Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de

This is the point where the whole problem arose from. I unmasked the newest NeoVim "app-editors/neovim-0.4.4-r100". Then: !!! The following update has been skipped due to unsatisfied dependencies: app-editors/neovim:0 selected: (app-editors/neovim-0.4.4:0/0::gentoo, installed) skipped: (app-editors/neovim-0.4.4-r100:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (see unsatisfied dependency below) !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "dev-lang/lua:5.1" have been masked. !!!

Unmasking the mentioned Lua version generates the error messages I posted above. Sorry that I cannot post the whole output of my command "emerge -avuND @world".

So basically some other package is stopping your update.

As the name of the file tells, the "zz-autouse" use flags were set a long time ago by - of course - emerge.

[gentoo-user] Logrotate ignores standard log files
Hi,
I detected that since mid-May my main log files
/var/log/{messages,auth.log,daemon.log,...}
don't get rotated any more.
I tried to solve this by making an entry in
/etc/logrotate.conf, but that doesn't work.
"maxsize" works, but not "weekly" nor "daily".
What happened in May and what do I have to try?
Thanks in advance.

[gentoo-user] How to force a rebuild?
Hi, I did not find this by Google. Maybe I asked the wrong terms. The package "virtualbox-modules" contains some kernel modules. When I built the package they landed in the directory # equery f app-emulation/virtualbox-modules ... /lib/modules/4.4.39-gentoo/misc/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/4.4.39-gentoo/misc/vboxnetadp.ko ... After a kernel update the VirtualBox won't find them any more and do not expect that at all. I could delete the package and build-install it again, but then the old kernels modules would disappear. I just want to install the new ones. I could do a sequence of "ebuild" commands. Is there a front end "emerge" command, too? Something like the -U flag? Thanks in advance.

Hi, for a special job I need to do a piece of work in Microsofts PowerShell, but I have no Windows machine running. I know that there is a PowerShell for Linux because I have one installed on a Ubuntu. Yet, I do not want to shut down my Gentoo and boot Ubuntu every time when I have to try something in PowerShell. I would like to install it on Gentoo. I did not find a PowerShell package in the portage directories and I did not find anything by Google.

I know it is a smart-arse answer, but it's better for sore
eyes if you rename your files to unique-width numbers.
$ for f in image* ; do mv $f image_`printf %03d ${f##image}` ; done
(This works for zsh and may need slight changes for bash.)

[gentoo-user] Brother scanner wants libusb-0.1.so.4
Hi, my olde Brother printer/scanner device MFC-7420 needs libraries that are provided as binaries on the Brother site. Until I switched to amd64 they worked well on a x64 system. Now I loaded down the amd64 version but it doesn't work. The problem seems to be a library load. # SANE_DEBUG_DLL=1 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of dll to 1. [dll] sane_init: SANE dll backend version 1.0.13 from sane-backends 1.0.24 [dll] load: dlopen() failed (libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) ... No scanners were identified. ... Indeed, "libusb-0.1.so.4" is hardcoded in "libsane-brother2.so". The libraries present are # equery b /lib64/libusb-* * Searching for /lib64/libusb-1.0.so.0,/lib64/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 ... dev-libs/libusb-1.0.19-r1 (/lib64/libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0) dev-libs/libusb-1.0.19-r1 (/lib64/libusb-1.0.so.0 -> libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0) When I use brute force and symlink 0.1 to 1.0 I get another error that doesn't actually surprise me. # ln -s libusb-1.0.so.0.1.0 libusb-0.1.so.4 # SANE_DEBUG_DLL=1 scanimage -L [sanei_debug] Setting debug level of dll to 1.

Brother provides a source package but I cannot compile that because it isn't even complete, and when I mail them, they don't answer. Is there _any_ way to solve this? Thanks in advance.

I have a "build partition" that I use for both, package downloading and building in /usr/portage/tmp.

[gentoo-user] Wlan disappeared after suspend
Hi, after suspend, my wlan is dead and it cannot be restarted. I searched Google for the problem and I found a solution that might work, I thought. But it doesn't. I added a line to /etc/pm/config.d/gentoo: SUSPEND_MODULES="r8188eu" Then, I recompiled the kernel to load r8188eu as a module. It didn't help. After the suspend, when I say lsmod, the module is still there. Maybe this is the source of the problem. What do I have to try? Thanks in advance.

I got hit by this yet another time when I tried to find out
why TMux's "mode-keys" option doesn't get set to "vi". This
depends on the EDITOR environment variable that is left
empty as well.
The solution is to set the environment variables by
"pam_env" which is called in "/etc/pam.d/sshd".
/etc/pam.d/included_by_ssh-
session requiredpam_env.so
Append the following lines to the pam_env configuration:
/etc/security/pam_env.conf
PAGER DEFAULT=less
EDITOR DEFAULT=vim
LANG DEFAULT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE DEFAULT=C

[gentoo-user] LC_ALL etc. not set when sshing into TMux
Hi,
after upgrading to an admittedly masked TMux 2.2, when I want
to ssh into it I get the following message:
$ ssh -t gentoohost tmux attach
tmux: need UTF-8 locale (LC_CTYPE) but have ANSI_X3.4-1968
Connection to gentoohost.mydomain.local closed.
To find out what locale is set I wrote this little C
program:
int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env)
{
char **e;
for (e = env; *e != 0; e++)
printf( "%s\n", *e);
return 0;
}
Then, after compiling,
$ ssh -t chris ./showenv | grep '^LC\|^LANG'
this yields the empty result indeed. Therefore I guess
TMux's behaviour is correct and the mistake is done by some
ssh or login or whatsoever.
The top (grandparent) sshd process has LC_ALL and LANG set
with utf8, but the childs and grandchilds environments are
empty.
Probably I could get rid of the error message by SSH's
SendEnv feature, but this would be just a workaround.
What is your suggestion to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Bertram

This is no fun. I can tell you. And it is not neccessarily your own fault. Although Alans posts give rise to the suspicion that it is, it also may be the other way round. Once when you're stuck to it, you can be as smart as you want, you have harldy any chance to escape it or at least to stop it progressing. The only good thing is that you're so busy with yourself that you have no time to notice how deep you're into it already. Believe me, it's anything but fair. And it's not possible to explain it to anybody who hasn't experienced it himself. It's wrong to judge if you haven't experienced it. You won't judge if you have experienced it.

It is a matter of quality of life whether I have compulsively to keep control over things or whether they run by itself. If not open source meets this requirement, who else could do it? Not just pretending it? It is a main aspect of software development that code is written once and runs many times. Therefore it is worth to spend more effort in writing software than on running it. Further, it is the other way round. If we expect ourselves to write just crap, this will have an influence on what we produce. And what people think about open source.

[gentoo-user] Keyboard is dead after emerge-update
Hi, since an emerge-update-world on my notebook the keyboard does no longer respond in X. This is extremely annoying because when I have xdm in rc-update, X is started right at boot. I have no chance to get back to the console using Ctrl-Alt-F1, and the device in unusable. Yet, this is only a problem of the boot process. At home, when I ssh into the system, I can do an # /etc/init.d/xdm restart and from that point on the keyboard works. It is even possible to disable xdm in rc-update and start it after the boot process has completed. I solved the problem temporarily this way, but the problem probably is a bug and should be reported. So I have a closer look. When I diff "Xorg.0.log" and "Xorg.0.log.old" (after removing the time stamps) I find one line that doesn't appear in the log of the working X. (EE) kbd: Keyboard0: failed to set us as foreground pgrp (Inappropriate ioctl for device) What does this mean? I estimate that "us" is the personal pronoun and not a keyboard layout, and that the server tries to do some chgrp on some /dev/*. I have no clue what to try next. Thanks in advance.

Occasionally, the odd service name (e.g. rpc, mysql, postgres, etc.) repeats
itself, otherwise they seem to be randomly selected from a dictionary.
This is a _real_ nuisance. Besides that I doubt there is any
meaningful harvest.
I have already disabled PAM authentication on sshd so that only users with a
public key in their ~/.ssh can login.
Host-based authentication is one possible solution. Fail2ban

Of course you need a kernel with recent module and reject

[gentoo-user] Root NFS Kernel option
Hi,
there's just another kernel option I want to activate but
cannot find it:
Symbol: ROOT_NFS [=n]
Prompt: Root file system on NFS
Defined at fs/Kconfig:1758
Depends on: NET NFS_FS=y IP_PNP
Location:
- File systems
- Network File Systems
How can I make the menu to show this up? The current configuration is:
* NFS server support
[*] Provide NFSv3 server support
[ ] Provide server support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extensi
[ ] Provide NFSv4 server support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] Provide NFS server over TCP support
{{{ here it should appear I suppose }}}
[ ] Support for rpcbind versions 3 4 (EXPERIMENTAL)
So all prerequisites seem to meet. What is still missing?
Arrgh!
Thanks in advance.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT-hacking vim syntax highlighting
Hi, Am Samstag, 11. Aug 2007, 18:35:09 -0700 schrieb maxim wexler: I'm not happy with the highlighting scheme for assembler files in vim(non X). I've tried all the *asm.vim files in the syntax dir but they all suck. Supposedly, the *.vim files can be edited. But how? Anybody got a link to a faq? The aggravating part is that the color associations in the highlight files are all called HiLink something something. I do such things quite often. It's not so difficult. You will find the :HiLink command is a redefinition of :highlight if you have a closer look at the *.vim files. As a biginner you don't need to define your own highlight groups; just use the predefined ones. Start defining some rules using the :syntax match and region commands, for example: :set ft= :syntax match Comment +^#.*+ :syntax region String start=+^if+ end=+^endif+ contains=Comment Soon you will need the :highlight command to give your Comment match another name. Ask :help syntax when going further. Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hi, as there seem to be technical problems at the Asterisk list server I may ask here. I successfully listen to `demo-congrats' with Xlite. Now I want to hear it by calling the ISDN card.
