[gentoo-ppc-user] pbbuttonsd question
I am running gentoo on a 15 aluminum powerbook. I am using the 2.6.16.r5 kernel and pbbuttonsd 0.7.4. I have been going over the man pages online documentation but cannot figure out how to get the illuminated keyboard working. pbbuttonsd does not error during load. The pbbuttonsd.conf file has not been modified from the default at the moment. i2c-dev is compiled into the kernel, not as a module. The LCD brightness buttons work but the keyboard light buttons dont. The ambient light sensor appears to working because the lcd automatically adjusts brightness when I turn out the lights. There are 8 i2c devices in /dev. What dependencies does i2c have? what dependencies does pbbuttonsd have? Thanks for your input... Eric Robertson -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] 3 Problems
Hi all, For some time now I have been getting errors on boot. 1. This happens a number of times:- udev-event [1777]:find_free_number: %e is deprecated, will be removed and is unlikely to work correctly. Don't use it What does this mean and how do I fix it? 1. etc/modules.devfs not automatically copied modules update forced again what does this mean and hoe do I fix it? 3. 2 days ago, after and emerge update of a load of programs, my usb printer does not work, it seems that the usb device is not as shown on the cups setup. So I have been into the kde print manager and selected usb #1 as the printer port but when I try to select the correct printer I get an error:- Unable to start the creation of the driver database.

[gentoo-user] Modules dependencies problem!

It happens that 50% of the time that I boot my desktop, when Calculating module dependencies says Failed to load modules dependencies (with the corresponding red exclamation marks) and when it gets to the loggin message it never loads kdm, and once I log via console I can't load kdm either.

[gentoo-user] GCC 4.1.1 Problems
List, I figure upgrading to GCC 4.1.1 from 3.4.5 wouldn't be such a pain, right? WRONG. So far I've had just about every problem under the sun, mostly in the form of filesize errors which I wouldn't think would be related to GCC, but then again: app-admin/perl-cleaner x11-proto/xextproto x11-proto/xcmiscproto-1.1.2 These packages quit on me after telling me that the reported filesize by the ebuild wasn't equal to the downloaded filesize. This only happened with gcc-config 6 (4.1.1). When I switched back to 3.4.5, emerge -e world was flawless. Very odd. I also had several packages quit on me related to gnome and GTK. Complaints were usually related to GTK being compiled and installed, however would not run. If these are the type of problems we're going to see with 4.1.1, I would have to vote that it stay masked. Testing isn't even the word for this so far. I had to revert back to my 3.4.5 gcc and re-emerge system after having too many errors to warrant continuing. Maybe I'll check back in a while, or if someone has a solution, I'd be more than willing to listen. -- Jason Weisberger [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

See my Upgrading to gcc 4.1: emerge -e world required? thread. Yea, since the soname was the same, I was under the impression that mixing would be fine, and I never ran into a problem. Now that I have unmasked it and more people are testing, I see that people are actually running into issues. So, my mistake. Sorry. If you are doing any upgrade of GCC that is something like 3.3-3.4, or 3.4-4.1, recompiling everything is probably a good first step to ensuring your system will be sane. We try to cut down on work that people will have to do and see if mixed installs will work, but in this case, I was wrong that you would be able to do that. If these are the type of problems we're going to see with 4.1.1, I would have to vote that it stay masked. Yep. I've yet to see cause for saying this. Moving to a completely new version of gcc, as in 3.x - 4.x, is a huge move. I think the small amount of problems that we are seeing now is great, and if you are using ~arch, you should expect little bumps in the road. We can only do so much testing in p.mask, and all of the people using it there were telling me that it was working fine for them. Testing isn't even the word for this so far.

The filesize issue is probably because the distfile changed without an change in the ebuild version. So you can get a new Manifest (from emerge --sync) that doesn't match the actual distfile you have, and get a filesize mismatch the next time you try to merge that same version, e.g. when doing an emerge -e world.

Guess what? The only bad thing that happened is my KDE theme went away. No big deal, I've seen it before when upgrading qt, and although I'm not sure what causes it, I know that remerging kdelibs fixes it. But of course this is meaningless...the fact that some people have no problems doesn't change the fact that some do. Then you're experiences just don't count.

But it does mean that the upgrade can *appear* to be seamless and easy, and only fail in specific cases on specific systems. Did you try to compile glib? No? Then I guess you've done no testing. Um, I'm a ~arch user, so I am *always* testing. But no, I didn't recompile just glib to see if it would work in a mixed environment.

So now I'm recompiling everything that has the kdehiddenvisibility use flag with that enabled.. But did you not see the einfo from postinst in qt-3*? INFO: postinst After a rebuild of Qt, it can happen that Qt plugins (such as Qt/KDE styles, or widgets for the Qt designer) are no longer recognized. If this situation occurs you should recompile the packages providing these plugins, and you should also make sure that Qt and its plugins were compiled with the same version of gcc. Packages that may need to be rebuilt are, for instance, kde-base/kdelibs, kde-base/kdeartwork and kde-base/kdeartwork-styles. See http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/plugins-howto.html for more infos.

Re: [gentoo-user] Modules dependencies problem!
Without more info I can't be much help. But here's a pointer, just in case : The modules init script launches modules-update, which can be launched at the command line. The error you have is consistent (and, looking at the code of the scrip can only be caused by) modules-update failing. You should try to launch it yourself at the command-line. You should get some output that could be useful. modules-update has a man page. You should look at that too. The main cause for this behaviour would be : - modules-update thinks your modules.conf is not auto generated and refuses to overwrite it. - there is a mistake in one of the files in /etc/modules.d/ . I have seen this caused by etc-update, which can sometimes munch files.

If you want to keep things in your lan, you should have something like 192.168.0.255 instead. Moreover, I do not quite understand what you are trying to do. I had approximately the same router (same brand anyway), and it did not block any lan-only services. What you're telling it is, for example, to block *outgoing* rsync.

There is a bit of an open debate right now on how binary compatible 3.4.x and 4.x are. You can certainly merge 3.4.6-r1, and use gcc-config to select that as your compiler for building klibido. And I am reasonably sure it will _compile_. But it is maybe a bit dangerous, as you have kdelibs built with 4.1, so linked against that version of libstdc++.so. When you build klibido with 3.4.x, it will get linked with that version of libstdc++.so. Since the .so version is the same, the system should load one and only one copy of libstdc++.so (whichever one shows up first in ldconfig). And it should work...*in theory*. However there have been some issues posted with running such mixed-environment programs, so it seems not so simple. I would suggest to either use 3.4.x and rebuild all C++ programs with that (using revdep-rebuild --library=libstdc++.so.6), or wait for the above bug to get fixed.
