Well, one solution could be to use something like this :
# strip away escape sequences
# hint: colorstrip() doesn't modify its argument, instead it returns the
result
#
function stresc() {
perl -MTerm::ANSIColor=colorstrip -nle '
$_ = colorstrip($_);
s,\r,\n,g;
s/\x00/<0x00>/g;
s/\x1b\x28\x42//g;
s/\x1b\x5b\x4b//g;
print;
'
}
This works fine here since a while

Reading this again in the cold light of day, coffee helped too, it seems as if
I want to strip ANSI colours in these particular applications above, but I
don't. I want to suppress colours in what the script command captures in a
terminal.

[gentoo-user] preparing for profile switch -- major problem
Hi. In preparing for the profile switch and the emerge -e world, I have run into a serious problem with perl. I think I saw on this list where perl 5.26 was going to have problems -- maybe until it is stabilized -- but if I mask it off, I get the following: !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-lang/perl-5.26*" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - dev-lang/perl-5.26.::gentoo (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword) - dev-lang/perl-5.26.1-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) - dev-lang/perl-5.26.1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) - dev-lang/perl-5.26.0::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) (dependency required by "virtual/perl-Test-Harness-3.380.0::gentoo" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "perl-core/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.240.0::gentoo" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "virtual/perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.240.0::gentoo" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "dev-perl/Class-Singleton-1.500.0::gentoo" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "media-video/clive-2.3.0.1::gentoo" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "@selected" [set]) (dependency required by "@world" [argument]) If I don't mask it off, I get the following: (just emerging perl by itself) !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-lang/perl:0 (dev-lang/perl-5.26.1-r1:0/5.26::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by =dev-lang/perl-5.26* required by (virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Manifest-1.700.0-r4:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^ dev-lang/perl (Argument) (and 13 more with the same problems) (dev-lang/perl-5.24.3:0/5.24::gentoo, installed) pulled in by dev-lang/perl:0/5.24= required by (virtual/perl-Test-Simple-1.1.14-r3:0/0::gentoo, installed) =dev-lang/perl-5.24* required by (virtual/perl-Term-ANSIColor-4.40.0-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^ dev-lang/perl:0/5.24= required by (dev-perl/XML-Twig-3.520.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) (and 261 more with the same problems) NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above !!! The slot conflict(s) shown above involve package(s) which may need to !!! be rebuilt in order to solve the conflict(s). However, the following !!! package(s) cannot be rebuilt for the reason(s) shown: (virtual/perl-Test-Simple-1.1.14-r3:0/0::gentoo, installed): ebuild is masked or unavailable It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

No, that's not right. The tree is consistent and portage can figure out how to get from perl-5.24 to perl-5.26 You probably have a difference locally, I would search through /etc/portage looking for entries that mask some perl modules and peg them to 5.24 versions. Failing that, maybe you have a package installed that depends on a 5.24 version of some module and this is the ripple effect Perhaps run emerge with "--verbose-conflicts" and also "emerge -e world" and post the results > This is with the new profile and backtrack set to 500. > > instances within a single package slot have been pulled > !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: > > dev-lang/perl:0 > > (dev-lang/perl-5.26.1-r1:0/5.26::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) > pulled in by > =dev-lang/perl-5.26* required by > (virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Manifest-1.700.0-r4:0/0::gentoo, installed) > ^ ^ >dev-lang/perl (Argument) > (and 13 more with the same problems) > > (dev-lang/perl-5.24.3:0/5.24::gentoo, installed) pulled in by > =dev-lang/perl-5.24* required by > (virtual/perl-Term-ANSIColor-4.40.0-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) >^ ^ > dev-lang/perl:0/5.24= required by > (dev-perl/XML-Twig-3.520.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) > > (and 260 more with the same problems) > > NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted > above > > It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to > prevent one of those packages from being selected.

I did switch back, but the only way I could do a "successful" update was to mask off 5.26 and then it skipped the update and would have been successful. If I switch to the new profile, I can do nothing as far as perl goes. I will show the output of just trying to emerge below, it seems there were many many packages still requiring 5.24. This is with the new profile and backtrack set to 500. instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: dev-lang/perl:0 (dev-lang/perl-5.26.1-r1:0/5.26::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by =dev-lang/perl-5.26* required by (virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Manifest-1.700.0-r4:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^ dev-lang/perl (Argument) (and 13 more with the same problems) (dev-lang/perl-5.24.3:0/5.24::gentoo, installed) pulled in by =dev-lang/perl-5.24* required by (virtual/perl-Term-ANSIColor-4.40.0-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^ ^ dev-lang/perl:0/5.24= required by (dev-perl/XML-Twig-3.520.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) (and 260 more with the same problems) NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected.

However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. hmmm, nothing masked as far as perl modules, I will look at verbose-conflicts and maybe write down all those modules and start unmerging and see if eventually portage can figure out something -- I don't really want to do that, however I will look at the conflicts and see what I can find. I had a lot of problems with the perl updates as well, and could not get it to resolve. I wasted over an hour trying to resolve it (my poor Celeron would take 5-10 minutes trying to calculate dependencies, and I had to do this 6-7 times.) Note, what I did worked for me and may not work for you, so use this advice at your own risk: I emerged the new perl with --nodeps, and invoked `perl-cleaner all` to fix the mess afterwards. It had everything resolved in < 10 minutes. I didn't suffer any system breakage from using the sledgehammer approach, but others may not be so lucky... so, as I said, try it at your own risk. Dan

Wait, really? I've had mine since 2010 and I've never had that package
installed (media-libs/libhdhomerun). MythTV detected and used it without
complaints. Or is it required for other programs?
I just tried genlop and it is saying I've never had any version of
libhdhomerun installed.
/usr/portage/distfiles/libhdhomerun_20140121.tgz is all of 47,685
bytes. It provides a ***COMMAND LINE INTERFACE***. I happen to be a
command line commando Using that command line interface, I've rigged
up a bash script and a text config file that allows me to fire up the
local CBC station, on tuner 0, with the command...
tv 0 cbc
Similarly, I can launch the local CTV station with the command
tv 0 ctv
The other option is to save 47,685 bytes and emerge MythTV instead
USE=mysql emerge -pv mythtv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

[gentoo-user] newish vbox gentoo guest crashes from startx
Setup: gentoo 32bit vbox guest on win 10 64bit host Installed xorg-server, lxde Meta pkgs and deps (along with many other pkgs ... to many to list here but included at the end) uname -a: Linux g0 4.8.8-gentoo #2 Fri Nov 18 20:16:14 EST 2016 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5450 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Theoretically the install should be ready now to run X and lxde. However, when I run `startlxde' nothing whatsoever happens. At least not at the command line or visibly. Prompt just returns lamely. However, if I run startx. The vm crashes clear to power off or sometimes just becomes inoperable with these error messages showing. (Note: nothing can be clicked moved or etc at this point) I'm having trouble figuring out where to start to get a handle on this. This is not my first time installing gentoo in a vbox vm... I've done several over time and two just of late. Although the installs were not trouble free, I had none of this sort of trouble. Posting /var/log/Xorg.0.log which shows several modules not loading. vesa and fbdev... but checking my kernel compile I see both were selected for. Other parts I'm not sure what they might mean. Also included below is last 175 lines of a debug.log I have setup in rsyslog. I can't tell how many lines to include so just a shot in the dark. There are a number of lines about Vbox not recognizing symbols And finally a full listing of everthing that has been installed. Which runs to 650+ lines.

Please post - eix xorg-server - values of INPUT_DEVICES and VIDEO_CARDS from make.conf - confirm that you built the kernel with evdev and the kernel module is loaded There's a decent X11 install page on the gentoo wiki, did you follow it? Installing on vbox is not too different from installing on metal except you don't use the video driver for the physical card, you use the vbox one (it's virtualized). Lastly, why a 32 bit guest on a 64 bit host? There's little benefit from doing that, and amd64 is far better supported in general than x86_64. Plus you just create more work for the host.
