[gentoo-user] KDE4 halts - how to catch a reason?
Last week or two (I mostly use Gnome and can not say more precisely) after KDE4 starting session apps starts also, as well as bg and panels. But then I get black screen (during this KDE4 start process), and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does nothing. The only way I have in hand to continue is to use SysRq kernel hacking (s, u, b). Have you an idea how to catch the halt reason?

[gentoo-user] USB disk automatically mounting: how does it work
Hello, Would you please explain (or refer me to a place that explains) the mechanism by which an USB drive appears on my desktop? I'm looking for a level of detail like this: When you insert a USB device, the kernel sends out a notification A. Userland daemons such as B can catch this signal. A file B.conf describes what to do in response to a certain class of USB devices and in there you will see a section for disk drives that says mount them at location C. Then B sends out a notification D which window managers can catch if they want. GNOME and others catch D and in response put an icon on the desktop. The reason lowly users can mount and write to these devices is E. PS: These topics are a blur in my mind: udev hotplug coldplug session pam. I suspect these words are used to fill in some of the variables in my pseudo-description above. Thank you, Chris

Did something change recently? I was doing some updates and noticed app-admin/python-updater was removed. It's still in the tree but the system decided it was no longer needed - was it removed from @system? After an update I typically run perl-cleaner, python-updater, and revdep-rebuild to catch packages portage misses. So I was a little surprised when it popped up in the --depclean list. Dan

[gentoo-user] Updating a system....catch-22...
I have a system that I'm just bringing back online after a few months down due to hardware issues and lack of resources to get new hardware. Some things are going okay - I got it past the e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-lib update fiasco (after hosing it and using GRML to get it back up). However, I'm now stuck. emerge world -vuDN won't complete because a package can't use java-config, complaining about python-updater needing to be run. However, python-updater won't run because the of blocks due to software being outdated and masked. So it's a catch-22. I need to install a new java-config and other software before I can get python-updater to run, but the emerge won't go through without running python-updater for at least one package. Any ideas on how to resolve? TIA, Ben

[gentoo-user] gentoo guide for postfix

Their names are of that pattern: something--something where 'soemthing' can be totally different from file to file and '' is a checksum, which does not match the checksum of the according file. I want to delete the files on my harddisk, which has a '' which matches the '' of the according file on the mobile harddisk. The problem arises from a line of the shellscript I wrote. # code to extract the checksum from the file and put into # a variable named crc if [ -f /*$crc* ] ; then # remove file on PC harddisk here fi As soon the file is not found, the script ends with an 'Not found' error, which '-f' is exactly for, because the expanding comes before the '-f'...

The newer --newuse will pick up changes to LINGUAS since portage treats that like an expandable variable (like VIDEO_CARDS etc). The other settings have no direct effect on the USE flags, so portage won't notice anything.

I have a problem with my gentoo system I am trying to update, and I get a C preprocessor /lib/cpp fails sanity check error on a number of packages.
