Re: [gentoo-user] fstab question
Colleen Beamer writes: I have a usb external hard drive attached to my computer. It's an Iomega and has a power switch. In fstab it is /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2 because I've configured it to have two ext3 partitions. If the drive is not powered on when I boot and then, I turn it on, I have to reboot to get fstab to recognize it. That has always sort of irked me, but I dealt with it because the drive holds only my music files. What I do is to build SCSI as modules into the kernel. When I turn on a SCSI device, I remove the module and modprobe it again. For my adaptec controller: modprobe -r aic7xxx modprobe aic7xxx However, this works only if removing the module is possible. If you have a mounted file system on a SCSI drive, this will not work. If there is an easier solution, I'd be interested to hear about it. The wrinkle is that my son bought me a usbstick. I can mount it just fine. However, if my usb external hard drive is not powered on on boot, the stick is recognized at sdc1. If the usb drive is powered on then, the stick is recognized as sdd1. So, this means that if I want to use one or the other or both, I keep having to change fstab. Is there a way I can set the device to always be the same - i.e. I always want the usb external drive to be sdc1 and sdc2 and the usb stick to be sdd1. I let udev manage this, so I get a /dev/stick and /dev/externhd. Or I just use KDE which opens a window with the contens of the drive/stick. But others already wrote more about that in detail. I know! I only want the world. If there isn't a way that this can be done, then I'll live with the situation. It's not earth shattering! Oh yes it is! Wonko -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Open Office wants to speak to me in Greek!
I have an odd problem with Open Office: all the menus and dialogs from Open Office are using Greek character sets and not the usual ones. I can read them since I know most of the Greek characters, but this doesn't come easy :) Here is a screen shot: http://electronsweatshop.com/oo.jpg As you can see, the menus at the top of OO in the background are in Greek, and the Options menu is also in Greek. I believe this happened during an upgrade sometime over the summer, but I can't be sure of when because honestly I haven't used Open Office on this machine in a long while (2 or 3 months). Another odd tidbit is that I have another machine that runs OO just fine.

[gentoo-user] Minefield on Gentoo
Hello, list. Is anyone here using Minefield (aka Firefox 3) on Gentoo? I'm trying to use it, but some sites have been showing nasty font problems. For example, if I try to open slashdot.org, no fonts are shown. The reason I'm asking it in this list is because I have the exact same Minefiend version on my home computer (running Ubuntu), and it doesn't show any problems at all. Also, as slashdot is a really high profile site, I wouldn't expect a problem like this to stay for over a month. I tried reinstalling my Gentoo box, but same problem happens. Tried to switch video card also (onboard geforce to an external riva - both running the nv driver), but it doesn't help a bit. Firefox 2 opens sites normally, so I don't think this is a X or font problem. In fact, if I highlight the invisible text with the mouse, sometimes it appears. It's very very weird. So.. if someone is able to run Minefield (and open slashdot), could you please just tell me what's your box configuration?

It seemed to help, but it did so only temporarily. If you're still interested in finding out what causes your problems, I'd start by moving ~/.gconf out of the way. You'll lose most of your settings but if that helps you could move the items from the backup to the automatically created new ~/.gconf one by one and eventually spot the bad one. And there's also ~/.gnome2 that could be screwed up. I am doing a similar thing in a different way. Instead of removing configuration files, I created a new user testgot with the same uid as gottlieb. I then copy config files from gottlieb to testgot, expecting breaking to eventually occur.

I will continue to move more config files and report here when I find the culprit. In the meantime I've noticed one thing: under the first user account I created on the machine, there are no problems at all. With other accounts, I experience random lockups (main menu doesn't respond anymore, desktop icons disappear, nautilus hangs etc.). The difference seems to be that for all accounts except the first, gnome-session starts an instance of esd. I did follow the Gnome 2.18 upgrade guide http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.18-upgrade.xml which states that one should start the esound service. This seems to work for the first account, i. e. no esd is spawned upon login but sound works nevertheless. For the other accounts, an instance of esd is started and if I experience a lockup, killing this esd process resolves the issue. I have yet to find out what the difference is between the accounts. It doesn't seem to be a difference in the settings, since for both enable software sound mixing (ESD) is checked in Preferences/Sound/Sounds. I even created a completely fresh home directory - to no avail. And it doesn't seem to be a problem with the user's rights either - I added one of the problematic accounts to all groups (even wheel - it was already in audio) the account not showing any problems is in, but I still experienced lockups. I'll try to investigate that further, but if someone has an idea why the above happens, I'd appreciate if they told me. Regards mks -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] recovering corrupted portage
I have been trying to update a gentoo system that I had not touched for around a year. I managed to mangle some things, and the latest was a complaint about a file in portage. I removed to offender and tried to re-emerge portage, but I am still stuck. If anyone knows a way I could force it to refresh portage files and/or installed packages, I would appreciate it. A pointer to the right place in the docs would be fine, I just have not been able to find it, and have lost several days fighting with it already. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

That is all you need.

[gentoo-user] Firefox and Synaptics mousepad
I use an Acer laptop with a synaptics mouse pad. Now, the mousepad scrolls left and right when you drag across the bottom portion of it. However, in firefox it controls the back and forward buttons. This has the net effect of moving be back two or three pages if I slip. What I was wondering is if there is some sort of firefox setting I can change to disable that function? Thanks, -- Dan Cowsill http://www.danthehat.net -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox and Synaptics mousepad
Please check /etc/X11/xorg.conf here: # Mouse wheel mapping. Default is to map vertical wheel to buttons 4 5, # horizontal wheel to buttons 6 7. Change if your mouse has more than # 3 buttons and you need to map the wheel to different button ids to avoid # conflicts. Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 So just set this option to 4 5. I hope it will help. 2007/8/17, Dan Cowsill [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I use an Acer laptop with a synaptics mouse pad. Now, the mousepad scrolls left and right when you drag across the bottom portion of it.

Whats the output of the libstdc++ section, if you call eix with LD_DEBUG like `LD_DEBUG=libs eix`? the current eix (0.9.9) shows this (and a whole lotta other stuff): $ LD_DEBUG=libs eix 18778: find library=libstdc++.so.6 [0]; searching 18778: search path=/usr/lib/fglrx (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) 18778: trying file=/usr/lib/fglrx/libstdc++.so.6 18778: search cache=/etc/ld.so.cache 18778: trying file=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6 [snip] 18778: calling init: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so.6 You could directly query the exported CXXABI versions of different libstdc++ libraries in the same order as they are tried by the dynamic linker by pasting the following loop into your shell: while read dir ; do if [ -r $dir/libstdc++.so.6 ] ; then echo $dir: readelf -a $dir/libstdc++.so.6 | grep Rev | grep CXXABI fi done /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6: 0x00a4: Rev: 1 Flags: none Index: 6 Cnt: 1 Name: CXXABI_1.3 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2: 0x0158: Rev: 1 Flags: none Index: 11 Cnt: 1 Name: CXXABI_1.3 0x0174: Rev: 1 Flags: none Index: 12 Cnt: 2 Name: CXXABI_1.3.1 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0: 0x017c: Rev: 1 Flags: none Index: 12 Cnt: 1 Name: CXXABI_1.3 0x0198: Rev: 1 Flags: none Index: 13 Cnt: 2 Name: CXXABI_1.3.1 But what does it all _mean_ Basil? (gratuitous bad movie quote...) [...] Just that the first libstdc++.so.6 found by ld.so doesn't have CXXABI_1.3.1 which is apparently needed by eix. If you look into your /etc/ld.so.conf you'll see some directories listed which ld.so will probe from the top downwards when it searches for dynamically linked libraries. In your case the gcc library directories are in the wrong order. My guess is that you should reverse them. The search order is specified by the LDPATH variables in the /etc/env.d/* files. env-update reads these files sorted alphabetically concatenates the found LDPATHs and writes it into /etc/ld.so.conf. /etc/env.d $ grep LDPATH * | grep gcc 05compiler:LDPATH=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6 05gcc:LDPATH=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0 aha! so the culprit is 05compiler, but who put it there? `equery belongs` doesn't tell me anything, in fact I have a lot of files in /etc/env.d that don't belong to anything, so is it safe to delete them?... The LDPATH for gcc should be in /etc/env.d/05gcc, I imagine something like LDPATH=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0/ standing in your version of this file. For reversing the search order simply reverse this variable so that it reads: LDPATH=/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/ and do a env-update. well, 05gcc seems to be fine. The reason for the search path being in the wrong order is probably some bug in gcc-config or eselect-compiler, whichever you are using. At least I can't think of another reason. if gcc-config updates 05gcc, then it appears to have done the right thing. I just have to find out why 05compiler is in there. In the mean time, I removed 05compiler, and my emerges now seem to work :) thanks for all the help, -- Iain Buchanan iaindb at netspace dot net dot au The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
