As of yet I haven't figured out what the update process messed up by something has gone sideways on that machine. - Mark Mark, Can you start anything that isn't KDE-related? Like xclock, xterm,...? That way we can check if the problem is SSH/X related or KDE-related. You could also try starting a VNC-session to see if that would allow you to start programs. Is dbus actually running? And is it included in the USE-flags? Also, later KDE versions require policykit/consolekit, Consolekit has a service as well that needs to be running. -- Joost

Ignore the bit about symlinks. Sorry talking garbage. Not sure what I was thinking but trying to suggest there is a use flag called symlink. Its not related to this.

The web site has not been updated for over 1 year. Thanks for other suggestions. I use it for all my gentoo installations as well. Have even removed windows viruses from windows boxen with it. How did you repair a windows box with it? I can't even begin to guess! Mount it with ntfs-3g, scan it with clam after updating the virus signatures (freshclam) and then remove or copy away infected files. This is exactly what I did. I cant live without systemrescueCD The USB installer is also awesome. Alternatively, it may be possible to dd the partition and pipe it to clam (not sure if this will work with a whole partition instead of a file) using something like: dd if=/dev/sda1 | clamscan - Alternatively, you can use Knoppix and Fprot, bitdefender and clam. Or, you can use the many LiveCDs and Live-USBs that Kaspersky, BitDefender, et al are producing these days.
[gentoo-user] ebuild ChangeLog and emerge -l
When doing an update using the -l option of emerge, eg: emerge -uDNl world The ChangeLog entries that are displayed seem buggy to me. For example, sometimes a whole page worth of changes from a single ChangeLog is displayed, containing entries for ebuilds older than what is currently installed. Some other times it's less dramatic, but still contains stuff that should not show up. The above seems to be the norm rather than the exception. For example, right now I'm doing an update from llvm-2.9-r1 to llvm-2.9-r2, and emerge prints: *llvm-2.9-r2 23 May 2011; Bernard Cafarelli voyag...@gentoo.org +llvm-2.9-r2.ebuild, +files/llvm-2.9-Operator.h-c++0x.patch: Fix header for gcc 4.6, bug #365925 21 Apr 2011; Fabian Groffen grob...@gentoo.org llvm-2.9-r1.ebuild, llvm-.ebuild: Fix broken reference that I missed yesterday 20 Apr 2011; Fabian Groffen grob...@gentoo.org llvm-2.9-r1.ebuild, llvm-.ebuild: Fix install_name_tooling Is this normal?

You can also take a look at: /usr/lib64/portage/pym/_emerge/resolver/output_helpers.py It contains the regexp that is used to parse the changelogs and the logic of what is shown and ignored.
[gentoo-user] Re: pf-sources Kernel
Nikos Chantziaras realnc at arcor.de writes: I don't run pf-sources, but I run a BFS-patched gentoo-sources. One of the reasons I use it is because of its support for the SCHED_ISO process priority, which is important for audio applications. Otherwise, I would need to use a realtime-linux kernel, which is total overkill and I don't want to reboot into a different kernel just for an audio session. Also, SCHED_ISO works for normal users so I don't have to launch stuff like jack-audio as root. Very cool to know Another reason I use it is because my system becomes a bit more responsive with BFS (meaning the GUI - I use KDE). I've read this in quite a few place for 16 processors or less. Interesting. So BFS it is for me I'm going to experiment with the pf-sources He seems to be up on the latest kernels and pathches, much faster than any other kernel sources for Gentoo. Thanks, James
