Re: [gentoo-user] Switching current java-vm for a single application
Problem is, the SenchaCmd script runs java directly, which resolves to /usr/bin/java, which itself is a script that checks the user choice regarding the selected java-vm: setting JAVA_HOME does nothing to fix that. I can edit the SenchaCmd script to run java directly, that would be the quickfix. Thanks for the input.

[gentoo-user] Switching current java-vm for a single application
Hello. I'm using OpenJDK JVM regularly on my machine instead of Oracle's one, primarily because of the infinality patches and because I prefer open source software. There are some applications, though, that do not play ball with it (namely, SenchaCmd) and I have to keep switching back and forth between installed java-vms just to run it. I know nothing about Java or its environment, is there a way to specify the java-vm just for this application instead of doing "eselect java-vm set user 1; sencha *stuff*; eselect java-vm set user 3" everytime? Is there a set of environment variables that can do this? Shall I wrap the command in a shell script? Ideas?

So apart of the zsh-newuser-install configuration which was quite

interface instead of manually set environment:
autoload -U promptinit

prompt gentoo
I opened this[1] bug to make it nicer, in the mean time I store it at
~/.zfunc/prompt_alonbl_setup with 's/gentoo/alonbl/' and have in my

Also notice that zsh does not execute ~/.profile, took me a while to

[[ -e ~/.profile ]] emulate sh -c '. ~/.profile'

[gentoo-user] Per-package splitdebug FEATURE
Hi. I've turned on splitdebug feature (and -ggdb in CFLAGS) so debug information are saved and I can debug anything that crashes. I went to /usr/lib/debug, just out of curiosity, to see how much space was taken and I found that it was almost 2GB, which chromium + firefox adds up 1.5GB and python gets another 0.3. I would like to disable splitdebug for these specific packages now and in the future, so removing splitdebug from features, re-emerging them and then activating splitdebug again won't quite cut. I wonder if there's a way to active features to some specific packages, just like USE flags. Thank you. -- Leonardo

Re: [gentoo-user] chrome and everything
2011/6/2 András Csányi sayusi.a...@gmail.com Hi All, Something strange happen here. I have seen few things in Linux world but this is very new for me! I have this fantastic browser called Chromium (12.0.742.68) and I really like it. But, sometimes, when I see flash videos on different sites (youtube, cnn, bbc) the whole chromium become frozen and basicly impossible to kill it. (The comfortable way is left click on the taskbar and choose Close and KDE takes care of to kill the application. ) I'm aware of I'm using Linux and the Linux desktop and the flash are not the best friends ever. So my usual activity if my browser become frozen by flash is the next: (1), start a konsole, (2), start htop, (3) and kill the process, (4) restart the browser, (5) happy. But, in this case, htop doesn't start. I can see the prompt and the command htop but the cursor is disappeared and nothing. Just waiting for something. The konsole doesn't react CTRL-c. I've tried this in xterm terminal and the result was the same. In normal case I examine the htop process by strace but I can't figure out what is the PID number because of ps aux (see below). Usually I'm using strace from htop. I thought ok, no problem, I'm well experienced linux user and I know there always is another way to kill a process. So, I typed ps aux | grep chrom command and the result was the same as htop. I could see the prompt and my command and nothing. The cursor is disappeared and nothing. We waited for something. Here I thought that the X server could be the root cause. I pushed CTRL-DEL-F1 and I thought that here is my little console and I'm able to do everything. But the result was the same when I wanted to start htop. Here was the point when I became angry and restarted my machine. The restarting process stopped at Terminating processes and my machine didn't restart just wait for something for minutes! I had to push reset button after 5 minutes. Strange, isn't? Has anybody any thought, idea what the hell happen? Those lockups reminds me of hard disks lockups, when nothing works anymore exepct what was already been loaded on RAM. Maybe flash/chrome is writing to a broken area of your disk. Check the HD light, weird noises. Or RAM. I have no such problems of things crashing with flash, but had experienced flash UI lockups in the past. Why don't you test with another browsers? That will help identifying the problem. Check dmesg, too, it might give you some tips of failed disk. My two cents. Good luck. Leonardo.

List issues if you had any. On my dedicated MythTV box, the major problem I had was that neither net.eth0 nor net.eth1 started up once I deleted /etc/conf.d/rc and went to /etc/rc.conf. This is possibly due to the hotplug settings which IMHO weren't clear in /etc/rc.conf. Fixed by simply adding net.eth0 and net.eth1 to the default runlevel and everything is fine now. I think that a guide specifying exactly how to migrate from /etc/conf.d/rc to rc.conf, setting by setting, would be good. Please read through /etc/rc.conf and /etc/conf.d/rc and migrate the settings doesn't cut it when the syntax and semantics of some settings are so different. Also, I'm accustomed to having configuration files show the default value commented out, but for example in this case the commented out value was #rc_hotplug=* which was the exact opposite of the default which is !*. -- Manuel A.

[gentoo-user] Kde menu
Hi list, I'm using gentoo since some months now, and I have to say that I really start to like it, especially the possibility of customizing and deciding how to 'create' your system. On the 'not so happy' side I think I have found only minor things; the biggest point is I don't have a 'consistent' kde menu: some applications with GUI are missing from the menu, some are present twice; the categorization itself is somehow dis-organized, with some entries showing an 'other' child menu, listing applications that could fit also in the parent menu (things like kde-graphic-other). Is there a way to reorganize the menu automatically, without having to go through all the installed packages per hand? I looked on the net, ant in the wikis, but cannot find reasonable documentation. That would be relly nice, because althought I know the stuff I installed, other people accessing the PC may be happy to use it, well you know, as it were that other dumb OS where you can use programs without dealing with that scary 'black window for the commands'.

I don't have a 'consistent' kde menu: Is there a way to reorganize the menu automatically without having to go through all the installed packages per hand? KDE tries to organise the items in a rational manner, but it also provides Kmenuedit to allow you to do whatever you want. After you've designed your menu as you like it best, you simply have to check that new apps get put where you prefer. BTW there's a cute little app Apwal (x11-misc), which you can customise to call up a temporary array of icons on your desktop representing apps. I have it assigned to L-click use it for apps I commonly use, but don't have restarted by KDE when it starts up. Apwal deserves to be better known. Nice tool Apwal. I knew Kmenuedit already, but I have way too many apps to loose time reorganizing the menu going after them one by one. 'Till some months ago at home, and at work I was/am using Mandriva; when I urpmi a package there, it goes automatically in the kde menu. Isn't there a similar way of doing it in Gentoo, maybe an app that goes through the 'world' and reconstructs with some decent categorization the menus (kde, gnome...)? Ciao, Leodp __ Do You Yahoo!?

[gentoo-user] [Not strictly Gentoo] Touchpad as graphic tablet?
Hi, I have a laptop with a touchpad, and was wondering if it's possible to use it as a sort of 'cheap' graphic tablet. As it should be possible to configure the threshold pressure to detect the touch, maybe it's even possible to have not only position, but also pressure detection, similarly to what happens for graphic tablets.
