[gentoo-user] Idea for Videoconferencing (Video part)
Hello, this is not exactly a gentoo issue. But due i am using gentoo i am asking here. Problem: Usually the camera is outside of the screen. The user normally looks at the screen. As result the communication partner(s) see him not looking at the camera. Idea: Use two cameras positioned left and right or top and bottom of the screen. Combine the two video streams and generate a third stream having a virtual camera positioned at the middle of the screen. Result: Better communication. The partners always looking in their eyes. At the same time the screen contents can be viewed. Is this description clear enough ? Sounds that feasible ? Anyone taking the task ? Or is there a better place to post such an idea ? kind regards Petric

This solution looks promising. I don't like the "perl -MCPAN ..." suggestion
earlier+
because it installs files outside of the control of portage.
calling
*#* g-cpan -g Locale::Language
gives me ** *The option you have chosen isn't supported without a configured
overlay.
The homepage does not give a clue on how the overlay have to be specified.
I have a local repository defined as in
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Portage/
CustomTree#Defining_a_custom_repository
You have to set PORTDIR_OVERLAY explicitly. A hint on the homepage would be
nice.
Maybe the tool can be redesigned to use the directory /etc/portage/repos.conf
instead.
After that it works well.
Thanks for your help.

Reason was (as far as i can interpret it) that a new gcc (v9) was compiled. The mpfr-Part (seen by the assertion abort on an mpfr- test in the log) was updated at the same time. But gcc v8 - still active - was not recompiled afterwards. Solution - in my case - recompile gcc v8: emerge -1 =gcc-8* Other solution (untested) - switch to gcc v9. The MAKEOPTS depends on how much main memory you have on your host - besides on how much cores your CPU has. kind regards Petric
Re: [gentoo-user] A bit O/T: Running android apps in QEMU
Hello, not exactly. But in Android Studio (which uses Android SDK) is bundled an emulator using qemu. Android Studio allows you to download an Android image (Android 2.0 up to Android 9) compiled for x86 and run it. This is mainly used for testing apps developed under Android Studio. Maybe this could also be used standalone. regards Petric Am Montag, 19.

[gentoo-user] ir receiver - mceusb
Hello, maybe this is not exactly a gentoo problem. Please point me to correct location if i am wrong here. I've got a MCE-like ir remote together with a USB receiver. Looks like it is detected by the kernel and a input device was created. Most of the keys are working. But - for example - the color buttons do not generate any output. "ir-keytable" (version 1.10.1) returns: Couldn't find any node at /sys/class/rc/rc*. "ir-keytable -d /dev/input/eventxx" gives as output: Name: PHILIPS MCE USB IR Receiver- Spi Using for test ir-keytable -d /dev/input/eventxx -r i got: --- cut scancode 0x700e0 = KEY_LEFTCTRL (0x1d) ... Enabled protocols: other lirc rc-5 jvc sony nec sanyo mce-kbd rc-6 sharp xmp --- cut But there is no definition of the color buttons in the list above. Tests were done using this command: ir-keytable -d /dev/input/eventxx -t Any hints ? Is it possibe to see the scancodes received by the USB-receiver to validate that the remote really sends data for the color buttons. What kernel options i have to enable ?

I did the same but upgrading a 3 year old system to kde-4.14.8 but masking kdepim to keep version 4.4. It adds kontact-4.14.8 and not * -4.4.2015.06 to the build tree. And as followup kdepim-common-libs-4.14.8 and kdepim-runtime-4.14.8. The only fix i found so far is to disable the "kontact" use flag on all kdepim-4-4 packages. Then it built without problems. Hope that helps tracking down the real problem. regards Petric

[gentoo-user] heartbeat problem
Hello, i've tried to use heartbeat (v 3.0.5). It starts, but a bit later it kills himself. I complains that it can not access /var/run/heartbeat/*.pid which is true. The directory /var/run/heartbeat does not exist. Also - as far as i can see /var/run is cleaned at start of a system. So any manually created directory here at install time will get lost. As workaround i placed in /etc/init.d/heartbeat the following code: - cut - if ! [ -d /var/run/heartbeat ] then mkdir /var/run/heartbeat fi - cut - With this change heartbeat starts without problems. I don't know wheter this is the proper solution or the reason for this problem is caused by an other source. Before i place an item in bugzilla i would like to know if you think this 'hack' is the one to use. Otherwise you could point mo to the proper solution of this issue. regards Petric

After login the KDE4 desktop starts up - a little box with at least 5 or 6 icons in it where one after the other icon displays blurred and then comes clear (Disk, Tools, World, ...). This process stops at the fourth icon (after the world icon) which remains blurred. At this stage the PC simply hangs - no ssh, no VT-switch, nothing. So my first question is - what stage the fourth icon stands for. And where to look for the issue. After a reboot to the command line i viewed the logs (/var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.0.log) but nothing looks suspicious. The last line in /var/log/messages reads: timestamp hostname kdm: 0:[pid]: pam_unix(kde:session): session opened for ... The user was newly created using useradd -m -g ...). There was no .kde4 directory in his home directory. Usually i add new users also to the plugdev group. As a test i removed the user from this group i got past the plash screen. Now the normal screen came up. So it seems that the problem has something to do with the plugging system. At which places i should throw an eye ? regards Petric
[gentoo-user] Layman, Git, ... and Http-Proxies
Hello, i tried to use layman (current stable version). The problem ist that i sit behind a proxy server which covers the http(s) protocol only. All other ports are closed. In the config file of layman (/etc/layman/...) i entered the proxy server and the listening port. Then layman was able to get the list of overlays. But if i want to get an overlay (here: x11 overlay) it starts git to get it. After a while git aborts with a timeout. It seems that git does not take the proxy info layman has into account. Tried also to export the proxy: export http_proxy=proxy-server:proxy-port or export http_proxy=http://proxy-server:proxy-port before executing layman -a x11 but this didn't help. How to overcome the problem ? Does layman pass the proxy info to the executed sub-programs (i.e. cvs, subversion, git, ...) ? (it not that may be an enchancement) regards Petric

Can anyone enlighten me as to the cause /or purpose of these repeated msgs ? the cause: the qt3.eclass is deprecated (because qt3 and everything depending on it is 'dead'). The ebuilds use this eclass, portage warns about it. There is nothing you can do about it. But there should a note *which* ebuild have to be fixed, right ? regards

[gentoo-user] USB serial adapter not working
Hello, i own a USB docking station which also contains a serial connector. The host will do USB 2.0 (kernel module ehci-hcd) and detects the PL2303 serial port properly. It loads the appropiate kernel module, but at the end it fails somehow with the following message: cut pl2303 ttyUSB0: pl2303_open - failed submitting interrupt urb, error -28 cut As result the device /dev/ttyUSB0 is allocated by udev, but not working. After some tests i got a work around. I have to unload the kernel module ehci-hcd. Due uhci-hcd remains loaded the device works in USB 1.1 mode. Here the serial port works properly. Is there a fix the keep me from unloading the kernel module every time i want to use the serial port ? For example by directing the system to always bind the serial port to uhci-hcd (USB 1.1). Or better by a fix for ehci-hcd/pl2303 kernel. My system is Gentoo 2007.0, i386 and x86_64. lsusb tells (limited to the docking station): cut Bus 005 Device 009: ID 067b: Prolific Technology, Inc.

I know that swsup2 patches are in the suspend-sources kernel. But according to the documentation software suspend v1 should be supported in the gentoo-sources. Using gentoo-sources i got the same problem. You are using SMP, right ? Then you have to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to get CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND selectable.

Somewhere in between i got two SYS... messages. After a reboot the install completes and seems to be ok now. Before I go ahead, a few more questions... 1) I have to allow a couple of ~x86 packages in package.keywords first (yes, I did an emerge --sync). Is this expected? =app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.1.29996-r4 ~x86 =app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1 ~x86 Same to me (except the version numbers, it's running - so why upgrading). I have the package vmware-server-console also installed. This is needed to get the mnagement tool (i.e. the window like vmware workstation). 2) I notice that sys-libs/pam is loaded as a dependancy. I don't mind the file sitting there, being used by vmware. Does it just affect vmware? If pam kicks in for other programs, it's a showstopper for me. VMware server is a two-part application. A user interface (vmware server console) and the daemon (vmware server). They are communicating via the network. As i see it there must be an user authentication and this is done via pam. As feature you get now the ability to run the console on an other machine (which don't need much resources). This may be a Win or Linux PC. [m3000][root][~] emerge --ask vmware-server These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

[Yes/No] no xinetd needed for the network communication, pam for the authentication. If you want to get the frontend (User I/O) you need to install vmware-server-console also. 3) My current OS/2 machine is an old PII with a 3.2 gig harddrive. Can I short-circuit the install by copying the working OS/2 system to an empty VM? Think of it as a stage 3 install for OS/2 g. Maybe, but you have to take care at least on the display driver. Here actually i have standard VGA 640x480 - if you get a better resolution let be know how. regards Petric -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
