[gentoo-user] mailman 2.1.5-r4/sendmail issue with ``Group missmatch error.''
I installed mailman about a week ago and didn't realise that it was not working correctly until today. It appears that mailman is expecting to be executed (by sendmail) as group mailman GID 280 and sendmail is executing it as group daemon GID 2. I can see that the solution is probably to do a manual build of mailman changing the expected GID to 2 which is what it is getting (seems the most logical to me), I just am not sure how to go about this. I haven't done any manual installs within the portage system yet. Any help would be appreciated. Jessica -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] help me choose a sound recorder
Hello. I am looking forward to use a sound recorder to record my telephone calls. These telephone calls are business phone calls that used for business purpose and all phone calls on my line should be recorded. I am looking forward to have a sound recorder that is: 1 record sound and save as speex format; 2 better be able to auto-start and auto-stop. E.g. when people are talking on the phone, start a track and save a speex file; when people stop talking (silence), stop recording and be ready to start recording the next track. Better one tracker per file; 3 we don't need gui, but I don't mind if it's console app or gui app; 4 I am using alsa in the kernel, if supporting alsa makes sense I perfer to have alsa recorders; 5 better allow scripting and meta info for saved sound tracks. But it's fine if it doesn't do so; 6 better also available in SuSE so I can run the same software at home or in my office; 7 I only need to record one line and not a full-power PBX software. Any suggestions? Looks audacity is a good option, last year I used it a while, but I think it is not perfect (for lack of requirement 2), but don't know its current status. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] LTSP and firefox woes
Hello, folks. I sent this to the list 2 weeks ago, and I'm not sure it came through.I'm resending it now. I'd be greatly pleased if someone could help me on this issue.We have a number of old machines hanging diskless on a fairly nice LTSP box. So, this is a good server with a bunch of 6-7 machines using X remotely.No problem at all, everything working fine... ... that is, until one of them hangs.Certain old machines tend to hang a lot, and when they hang, their processes runningon the server don't die, or at least don't die immediately.When they are rebooted and log on again, certain applications won't run, either complaining about lock files (OO.org), about another running instance of itself(firefox), or mibehaving because of existing files in /tmp (gnome with orbit files).There are other applications behaving like this. Anyone here using LTSP ever done any workaround to this? I thought about makinga wrapper script to gdm so that when someone logs on, before starting anything atall (window manager et all), it would kill every running process on the server except itself, and only then pass control to the window manager.This is an ugly hack, I know, but I don't see a straightforward solution (apart frombuying loads of new expensive machines). It seems to be a problem between X client and X server. In my opinion, the client windows should die if the corresponding X serveris not there anymore, but that's not what happens.-- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora| Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Network Administrator/Web Developper | ICQ: 1406477Rio de Janeiro - Brazil|

So, if I understand what you're saying, using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS on the command line, brings in all dependant packages regardless of they're being needed for the app being merged. Somehow I don't think that's the way it should be Why not? By setting the variable on the command, you have made it global, although temporarily, so it does not only apply to kde. When you emerge a package, portage checks its dependencies too, and they were out of date according to your settings at the time. Setting this on the command line is even more wide-ranging than putting it in /etc/make.conf, because it overrides anything in /etc/portage/package.keywords too. Thanks Neil.

To minimise latency in delivery of messages as far as is practical (without placing stupid demands on the resources of the POP3 servers) 2. To cope with very large emails (several MB) which may be present at any POP account and must be downloaded over a potentially extremely congested relatively low-bandwidth link. The advantage of daemon mode here is that I neither end up with a huge polling delay nor any risk of a collision where two processes attempt to access the same POP account at the same time (which I'd expect to cause aggravation.)

In order for Mailman to work properly, it has to know the gid of the mail program at compile time. In this case it was told the mail program's gid was that of group mailman, but when the script was executed it was with the gid of group deamon. The easiest way I've found (and possibly the only?) to fix it is to use vigr to get the gid of the daemon group, then edit the mailman ebuild file. Right near the top of the file is an option for setting the mail-gid. Change that number to the one you found from vigr, then re-emerge mailman.

Re: [gentoo-user] hyperthreading
Are you viewing /proc/cpuinfo to get that information or just watching as it boots? Also, what do you get if you do this: grep -i 'smp' /boot/config If you don't have a symbolic link from /boot/config to your kernel config you will have to change the path somewhat (for example, /boot/config-2.6.14-gentoo-r2 if you are using the 2.6.14-r2 gentoo sources). This should give you a result similar to the following: CONFIG_SMP=y CONFIG_X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG=y CONFIG_X86_SMP=y Hope this helps.

Just suggesting it, as it wasn't in the list of your already installed packages. I think it does contain something called fsview (files system view) and other plugins that might help add some kview functionality, but yes, I'm really just guessing. Can't hurt to emerge it and see.

[gentoo-user] Problem after emerge --update --deep world
Hi all, This issue is related to my desktop. Bear with me while I give some background details. A couple of months ago, I followed the MySQL Upgrade Guide to upgrade MySQL. At that time, some configuration files were changed. I don't know specifically if those changes had anything to do with a problem that developed. The problem was that when I logged out of KDE and chose to either restart or shutdown the computer, neither of these occurred. The monitor would shut off, but not the computer. A week or so ago, I did the gcc upgrade using the GCC Upgrade Guide and much to my pleasure, the problem of not being able to reboot or shutdown when I selected those choices from the menu on KDE logout disappeared. On Sunday, I started an 'emerge --update --deep world'. A number of kde 3.4.3 packages were pulled in (I orginally emerged kde-meta). The update went fine. At the end, I ran etc-update and 4 configuration files related to kde were updated. The files were: klipperrc, ksslcalist, kdmrc, and libkleopatrarc. Now, after the update, I again cannot reboot or shutdown when I select either of the choices from the menu on KDE logout. I figured that kdmrc, might be a logical file to be causing the problem and I *did* find a Shutdown section in this file with the lines related to shutdown and reboot commented out. I removed the '#' and used the suggested defaults - /sbin/halt and /sbin/reboot. Well, this didn't solve the problem, so I tried editing the related lines to /etc/init.d/shutdown.sh and /etc/init.d/reboot.sh. This didn't solve the problem either. So, in a nutshell, I still cannot shutdown or reboot when I select these from the menu on KDE logout. Any ideas here? Regards, Colleen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't know why you still have obsolete documentation (maybe it was just recently fixed?). Neither do I, I'm asking upstream now. My only guess is that it was removed from KView because Krita is what KDE is promoting as the better image editor. Note that Krita does have Guassian Blur, etc. etc. in it.

Hello everybody, I have a spare partition formatted as FAT 32 on an IDE disk. vfat and ide-disk support was compiled into the kernel. Partition was created with fdisk and given ID: b W95 FAT32 and formatted using mkdosfs -F 32. The partition is visible in windows, properties FAT32. But #mount -t vfat responds w/ unknown fs type 'vfat'. Even w/ -t auto it replies unknown fs 'vfat'. All other partitions, ext2, reiserfs, ntfs mount OK.

Re: [gentoo-user] links w/o benefit of X
I just tried to access YahooGroups with my account, and like you, after loggin in, it tells me that the refresh doesn't work, and bumps me to the front page. But if I hit ^R to reload the front page, it now shows me as logged in. I think the problem is that the websites are sending refresh command that links doesn't understand. And when you manually try to click the link given, it assumes it was the same page (same address, you visited just 10 seconds ago), so loads it from cache. ^R doesn't work.

[gentoo-user] ATI driver, tvout, blue video window
I have installed gentoo on a gateway laptop, with an ATI mobility 9000 radeon video adaptor. Once I have xorg installed, and ati-drivers (proprietary), tvout was pretty easy to set up using ati's setup utility, fglrxconfig and a couple of easy changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. However, I am having trouble trying to show my classes a dvd, because on the TV, the video frame is completely solidly dark blue. Preliminary investigation suggests this may be related to xv. I don't understand this, and my attempts to edit some parameters in xorg.conf have failed. I followed an instruction on one of the howtos or faqs to not enable dri in the kernel. Where can I find a relatively understandable explantion of this effect?

The thing that's frustrating me right now, is that I just installed KDE 3.5 the other day, then upgraded to the new GCC.

It didn't seem worth learning to build my own ebuild so I built it from tar.gz and installed on /usr/local. Then unmerged the existing cvs installation.

There was an informative thread that you definitely need to read before going ahead. I started the thread but was not much of a contributer in substance. Others however added lots of really good info about how stuff works with gentoo. Read clear thru this recent thread: Subject: Is there and Alternative to compiling kde? That done, you probably do not need to uninstall much of anything. First learn what packages were installed : equery list|grep kde should give a pretty good picture Understnd that a newer version of kde is just about to become stable I think and so an upgrade is soon in the offing. I think it would make some sense to set a keywords line in /etc/portage/package.keywords like this: kde-base/kdebase ~x86 Assuming you are on x86 architecture. It should cause kde-3.5 to be installed now. Don't worry about having packages from 2 versions installed ... gentoo allows what is called `slotted' packages. So they do not interfere with each other. You can prune back the older stuff later. Once you've read that thread and got some system info on what you have installed. try this: emerge -v -p kde-base/kdebase Take a look at the output maybe you can determing if its ok to go ahead and run that without the -p.

From what I know, this is what's changed, in addition to new compile. baselayout1.12.0_pre11-r3 udev077-r4 1. bringing up /dev/rtc/ takes about 8 secs to come up when rebooting. Prior to the latest changes, it would pop up its changes just as fast as any other service. 2. Networking complains about missing netmask and broadcast modules. When the script think it's done, I have both eth0 and eth0:1. I'm not running DHCP for this device. Everything continues to work, so it's not a huge problem, just something I hadn't seen before. I'd appreciate a couple of suggestions. And finally, how can I make a reply from Knode actually follow the list? Following mailing lists in a news reader is so much easier. I've got all the accounts/users set up correctly (I think). I did it in the past. Thanks. Peter -- Absence makes the heart forget. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It isn't what I was thinking of though. I've never heard of this and man emerges has almost nothing to say about it. And `man inject' doesn't now about it at all. The man page makes a brief comment: [ebuild U-] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0 [4.2.99.902] The - represents lack of SLOT information about Xfree. This will occur when the previous version emerged was injected (see inject for more info) or very outdated (so old that SLOT did not exist). Either way, a newer version of Xfree is availabe for your updating delight. But fails to mention where one can `see inject'. That is the only occurance of `inject' in man emerge. I think is was something entered in /etc/portag/package.SOMETHING I think emerge --inject is being deprecated, but I can't remember any sort of alternative. What the command does is tell Portage to think a package is installed, regardless of whether or not it is. I believe its purpose is/was to allow developers to muck around with patches and uber-unstable builds (e.g. CVS snapshots) without having to learn ebuild-ing in order to satisfy dependencies on other packages.

RE: [gentoo-user] [OT] Recommended MySQL frontends
If you have PHP/Apache installed, you might try phpMyAdmin. It's quite slick for a web GUI, and I often find it more convenient to load into a tab in my browser than yet another program. It's surprisingly simple and has most of the features I use and many that the dedicated apps are missing. -Original Message- From: Raphael Melo de Oliveira Bastos Sales [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 8:16 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Recommended MySQL frontends What kind of errors are you getting? mysql-administrator is supplied by the mysql company itself.

Keep the Yeah yeah yeah... Great ol' glory days... Guess what... It's not the 80'sanymore.CPUs are fast, but the programs are still monolithic and take days tocompile.I fully agree (and have brought this up before months and years ago) -- I believe we should have binaries available for the big packages like KDE, OO,Gnome, etc. Ya'll that like to waste your time compiling can keep on doingthat, while the rest of us would like to get some work done. The thing that's frustrating me right now, is that I just installed KDE 3.5the other day, then upgraded to the new GCC. After a revdep, it apparentlyhas broken all my libc something or other and so I'm once again re-compiling KDE to fix that! ...joy, only 176 packages to go... :-\And for you all that want to say -- switch Distros, your logic is flawed.Just because I don't want to waste 3 days or more compiling KDE on a 2Ghz/640MB notebook, doesn't mean I don't want the other benefits of Gentoo,like emerge -u world and the fact that when I do need to install fromsource (like something that isn't in portage), it usually just compiles fine.
