RE: [gentoo-user] [OT] Open Office USE flags
If you really want to know what a USE flag does on a particular ebuild
you have to:
1, read the ebuild and find what the USE flag switches on or off.
2, understand, from your knowledge of the package, what switching that
option on or off does.
for example, in openoffice:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/mediatemp $ grep
hardened /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/openoffice-1.1.4-r1.ebuild
IUSE=curl hardened java kde nptl zlib
#GCC 3.4 fixes, also needed for hardened
#Fixes for hardened
if use hardened; then
epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}/hardened-link.patch
this shows that the effect (and the only effect) of using the hardened
flag is to patch the source with the file
${FILESDIR}/${PV}/hardened-link.patch
Translating, ${FILESDIR} is the files directory
under /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice
${PV} is package version, ie in the case of openoffice-1.1.4 is 1.1.4
so the file is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/mediatemp $
cat /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/files/1.1.4/hardened-link.patch

You can get the total number of packages with

To find the total number of ebuilds for a specific architecture, you'd

CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=m I get this problem occasionally, mostly with my mouse, when I use my KVM to switch to my docked linux laptop, and the solution is always to modprobe -r evdev modprobe evdev. It rarely affects my keyboard, so I can usually do this. In the rare event of a keyboard problem, I can just ssh in to do it. I haven't figured out precisely what the problem is, however I've definitely narrowed it down to the above configuration. If you are using EVDEV, it may be possible to configure your kernel/get a working system without it. If you aren't using EVDEV, give it a try.

RE: [gentoo-user] [OT] Open Office USE flags
Nick~
Thanks for the reply. Of all the sources of information possible, I didn't
think of looking through the ebuild for how the flags are implemented!! I
did notice that portage allows you to view the ebuild (so looking through
the build script before emerging is possible). Great tip!

Subject: RE: [gentoo-user] [OT] Open Office USE flags
If you really want to know what a USE flag does on a particular ebuild
you have to:
1, read the ebuild and find what the USE flag switches on or off.
2, understand, from your knowledge of the package, what switching that
option on or off does.
for example, in openoffice:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/mediatemp $ grep
hardened /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/openoffice-1.1.4-r1.ebuild
IUSE=curl hardened java kde nptl zlib
#GCC 3.4 fixes, also needed for hardened
#Fixes for hardened
if use hardened; then
epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}/hardened-link.patch
this shows that the effect (and the only effect) of using the hardened
flag is to patch the source with the file
${FILESDIR}/${PV}/hardened-link.patch
Translating, ${FILESDIR} is the files directory
under /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice
${PV} is package version, ie in the case of openoffice-1.1.4 is 1.1.4
so the file is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/mediatemp $
cat /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/files/1.1.4/hardened-link.patch

I have 90% chance to get garbled screen right after system reboot when bios is starting hw checks. The problem goes away after a random number of poweroffs. Is there a way to fix this? If you've upgraded the bios on the motherboard, then trash the motherboard. It's not doing a proper reset to the AGP bus. Other possibility is the chip on the MX440 is on the slow side of things and the reset is too short for it. Generally, the chip will eventually get slower as it ages and the problem will get worse.

[gentoo-user] USB controller selection.
Hi, * .* I have a small problem with usb in my laptop. First I had all 3 HCD compiled in my kernel: ehci, ohci and uhci. When I connected some usb 2.0 device (hard drive or external DVD burner), there was a message in /var/log/everything/current that device is not running at full speed and that I should connect it to a faster hub and it was using ohci. I tried all four ports I have and it was the same. I tested the device (it is a hard-drive) with hdparm -tT /dev/sda and it gave about 900 kbyte/s, which is something like usb 1.x. Then I recompiled my kernel with ehci only. Now there is no such message, the same device is using ehci and when I test it, it gives more than 20 Mbytes/s, which must be USB 2.0, as I want. The problem is: why when I have compiled ohci also, the device does not work as USB 2.0? I could work with ehci only, but the problem is that now my usb mouse is not working (it is not usb 2.0). I read the help to all selections in kernel config under USB support. There is no thing like select fastest driver... They say that it is no harm to select al HCD...

Re: [gentoo-user] [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel
Hi, If it's any help: I'm using 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 kernel not a genkernel. Maybe the version of kernel on your computer is newer than the one on the live cd, try a downgrade and see if it help. Best regards Timur Aydin wrote: Erik Osterholm [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Are you using the Event interface? No. I tried enabling support for it. I have also enabled support for the Event interface debug. After booting this kernel, nothing changed. The are no syslog debug messages when I turn the wheel, so the kernel apparently doesn't "see" the wheel turning.

RE: [gentoo-user] many packages are available in gentoo?
Not sure that is an official site ... The question came from a couple of posts where debian is showing ~17000 packages and Fedora a couple of thousand less. They were bemoaning the size of the install media. The difference between distros is most likely little used packages, and the fact that rpm's for instance split headers and sometimes aux functions into separate packages, approximately doubling the package count. I presume debian do the same. billk On Sun, 2005-08-28 at 16:24 -0400, John Dangler wrote: Maybe it's me - I don't get it. www.gentoo-portage.com front page ... 19884 ebuilds, 9986 Packages, Last Updated At 18:07:35 GMT John D ... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Don't these people have access to the worldwideintarwebthingy? why download media you don't need? just install the packages you want over a network. Where does the thousands come from with fedora? I count 965 source rpms on a fedora mirror i looked at. on the same mirror there were 1483 binary rpm's. of those 299 have devel in the filename, so will have been from a split build - ie one foo.src.rpm may become foo.i386.rpm, foo-devel.i386.rpm, foo-xorg.i386.rpm, foo-doc.i386.rpm etc. This filter shows me how many binary rpm's have unique names up the the first hyphen, : grep i386.rpm fedora.filelist |cut -d- -f1|sort|uniq|wc -l which gives 693 - but I don't know if thats an accurate way to tell if a built package comes from the same source package. But my real question is - how do you get thousands of fedora packages? so you have to scratch around private repositories looking for the ones with the stuff you want? The difference between distros is most likely little used packages, and the fact that rpm's for instance split headers and sometimes aux functions into separate packages, approximately doubling the package count. I presume debian do the same. yes they do. usually called -dev rather than -devel from what i can see. billk -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Any booby-traps with AMD64?

I've gone with 12 gigs for /dev/sda1, 2 gigs for /dev/sda5 (swap), and the rest of the drive is /dev/sda6, which will be mounted as /home.

[gentoo-user] How to instruct emerge to leave certain stuff alone
I just ran an emerge world -u and at the beginning there were some errors/warnings about my lines in /etc/portage/profile/package.provided I didn't save the error but it indicate my file would be ignored. It contained dev-util/cvs app-editors/emacs-cvs I didn't want the emerge to mess with emacs. I build my own for yrs now. However rather than investigate and fix, I just commented the line out and proceeded. Emerge installed the latest emacs and even overwrote my .emacs-custom file. (Which seems it should not have, if it found one) But what I want here now is to know how to handle this in the future. That is, how to tell emerge that I want certain packages ignored or left to me. Last time around those lines in package.provided were sufficient but apparantly something has changed. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] ebuild for Lost Labyrinth
OK once again the ebuild is attached, it now creates a desktop file in
/usr/share/applications/ and pops the .xpm icon file into
/usr/share/pixmaps/. This is where gentoo likes these things to be.
Those of you who have expressed an interest in this game please try it
out. If it works OK I will check out any last tweaks i need and then
submit it to bugs.gentoo.org
Cheers, Nick.

Re: [gentoo-user] Any booby-traps with AMD64?
On my last few installs I have used LVM2: magic as it means you can easily and transparently resize partitions and add new drives with minimal downtime. Partition size choices are no longer such a limiting factor. Highly recommended.
