[gentoo-user] adsl rp-pppoe - new baselayout problem
Hi all Could anyone point me to some resource or share his/her /etc/conf.d/net* ? I was using the (nowadays) old /etc/init.d/rp-pppoe script to start/stop my adsl connection, but I did an emerge world without looking at the messages that now the net script should handle all possible types of connection, so now I don't know how to configure it. I have seen on the posts and on the foruns, but none of the presented configurations has worked. PPPoE _is_ working, thanks to tkpppoe, but I'd prefer to go back to the init script. Thanks Francisco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thanks Francisco Have you read /etc/conf.d/net.example? Yes, I did, but id didn't help. I've also read the Gentoo installation manual, where it says that the /etc/conf.d/net should consist of only 2 lines, and it also didn't solved my problem - I also have /etc/ppp/pap-secrets correctly (I think) configured. Surely I'm missing something, but can't find what. Thanks anyway -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

config_ppp0=( ppp )
plugins_ppp0=( pppoe )
link_ppp0=eth1
username_ppp0=...
pppd_ppp0=(
noauth
defaultroute
holdoff 0
)
depend_ppp0() {
need net.eth1
}
/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 must be a link to net.lo
replace eth1 by whatever you're using.
Thanks a lot. Gonna finish other stuff, and as soon as possible gonna
give it a try

Re: [gentoo-user] looking for a good c++ IDE for demons...

Until now I'm used mainly xemacs, but since I learned about better IDEs (for example the JAVA developers have IDEA), I'm looking for something like this for c++. I tried snavigator, but this tool seems to get confused by multiple inheritance (which is used in my project). Mainly I would search for a good class navigator. Is there something to recommend? Ciao, Wolfgang Take a look at Eclipse and its projects, specially CDT http://www.eclipse.org/ http://www.eclipse.org/cdt They're both in portage, alongo with several other Eclipse plug-ins, including repository integration for subversion and CVS Francisco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] localization
Hi, I would like to know which is the right locale setting for compiling e.g. KDE and Mozilla in my own language. Mozilla is a good example, because in an earlier version all labels and everything else was in my home language. This is what I already have set in my environment: I18N=pt_BR LANG=pt_BR LANGUAGE=pt_BR LC_ALL=pt_BR LINGUA=pt_BR LINGUAS=pt_BR LOCALE=pt_BR By the way, OpenOffice is currently in my home language and WindowMaker has mixed english and brazillian portuguese texts. Am I missing any? I am looking at the Gentoo Wiki about UTF-8: is it the right thing to do the best localization? Thanks Francisco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] how to control portage space usage
Fernando Meira wrote: Ok, so running through that forum I decided to try out some of the scripts to clean stale distfiles. The first one (distcleaner-0.0.2) returned a lot of errors. The second (distmaint.py) was too weird. Finally, (distclean.sh) seemed to be ok, and freed 255 MB. I could then end my emerge (eclipse). After the emerge I end-up with 805Mb free. As you say Holly, this is far from enough if I want to compile something big and also maybe for smaller apps. Which means that I have a problem. In fact, I have a 38GB disk on my laptop. My mistake was that I assumed that gentoo was not so space-consuming. Now I'll have to make some modifications, redo my partitions. What I would like was to clean once per all my windoz partition (9GB)... but from time to time I need it.. unless I find a replacement to all the things I need from there. Anyway, thanks for the replies. If someone has a nice script to maintain distfiles under control let me know. ;) Cheers, Fernando. Not a script, but I have some machines with /usr/portage NFS'd to a server (I'm thinking about doing the same with /var/tmp/portage/ also, but don't know how to lock it to avoid colisions). If you have a desktop, you can do the same, and also use distcc to accelerate the builds. Francisco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
