Re: [gentoo-user] php mysql problem
Try to locate the first line in a php script which triggers the error and use /usr/bin/mysql tool to either test connection parameters or the query in question. You can also turn on MySQL query log. Yes, everything installs fine with Typo3. At least it looks like it. Only thing is that after the installation routine I get the error messages. 2006/1/5, Alexander Kirillov [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm installing Apach2, Mysql 5.0.18 and PHP 5 on my laptop for a project. However, when I install the main CMS system (Typo3 4.0) I keep getting various supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource So I did a test page to see that PHP was actually emerged with the correct USE flags '--with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' And did a check that I have the socket in the correct place [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -l /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock 'srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 Jan 3 05:35 /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ I've tried with PHP4 and PHP5, with MySQL 4.x and 5.x I still can't get the system up. And the code is valid, as others are running the beta code, and I had a Typo3 system before my forced reinstallation. I've read contless articles on Gentoo and Typo3 forums/lists but still... Any suggestions how to get past this? There should be enough information in PHP and MySQL logs to troubleshoot problems of this sort. Don't know anything about Typo3 but an app of this kind should come with a script which creates databases, tables, users and grants privileges needed. So I'd suggest to stop playing with PHP and MySQL versions - they're pretty much backward compatible and dig into Typo3-related issues. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

not long ago. I realise it is not possible to handle all conflicts, but

Re: [gentoo-user] package conflict on update
I ran into this a few days ago. Ah ha, I thought, I just need to update openmotif.Nope, openmotif depended on openmotif-config which was blocked by openmotif.I tried unmasking one, the other, then both all to noavail.
Finally, in frustation I did emerge unmerge openmotif, emerge openmotifand it just worked (pulling in openmotif-config in the process)I for one would like to see portage be a bit smarter about this. It already calculates a dependancy list.
Would it be possible to detect the case where the blocker is part of the dependancy list (ie, will be installed anyway) and automatically offer to unmerge the conflicting package?Or, is this a situation that should be handled with slots? Eg, slot 1 hols openmotif, slot 2 holds openmotif-config newer openmotif.

An error message like that doesn't really tell the user anything that he
doesn't already know.
It would be more useful if some information was provided:
if blocked_by =x11-libs/openmotif-1.2.3 ; then
eblockinfo Due to changes with blah, it is recommended that
eblockinfo you foobar. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/123456.;
fi
But then, at what point would this information be echoed to the user?
It would have to be during the same pre-merge phase that the blocking
errors appear. Then again, I don't really see any gaping problems with
the current system; once someone has encountered their first pair of
blocking packages, they then understand how to fix blockers in future.
I doubt it's worth the effort.

Not really a question to the portage developers -- just unmerge
openmotif (the blocker) and continue as normal.
If would be nice is portage had a means for developers to handle these
types of conflicts in the ebuild. A similar thing happened recently with
xpdf/poppler, it happened with some FTP servers and the ftp-base package
not long ago. I realise it is not possible to handle all conflicts, but
with some instances, like this one, the conflict is expected. even if
there were just a means to print a message if a package hits a block,
something like
if_blocked_by('openmotif')
ewarn You must unmerge openmotif before proceeding
Yes, or as follows...

Yes, and I've noticed there's a big problem with the linux community
at large. People that know and understand linux have a lot of the
times not helped the open source intiative, in that they like things
to be difficult, because it makes them somehow seem smarter. In all
reality, it doesn't take a genius to use linux, just someone who likes
to read a whole lot.
Now i'm not saying this is a problem with the people working on
gentoo, so please don't think that I am. But, if you do feel that
way, perhaps you should think twice, and actually support users. I've
always felt that Linux in general could easily surpass windows in
usage, *IF* the linux community would make things more user friendly.
For example, if I didn't have to read the documentation to get
something basic to work, then it's user friendly. That doesn't mean
you have to remove flexibility either. I've seen gui utilities in
windows that had full command line support. If you provide command
line options, the GUI doesn't start. So, one can have user friendly
applications without sacrificing flexibility.
When I first started with gentoo, I was ready to give up. Not because
I didn't know what I was doing with linux, but because I don't really
have the time to read a whole whack of documentation, and the
documntation is not in a nice point form format for those that do know
what they are doing anyhow. Take the gentoo quick install version of
the gentoo hand book. It no longer tells you what commands to
actually run. It just describes what to do, which is of VERY little
value. Luckily I kept a printed copy of the old quick install around,
becuse I have no use for the new version. Why someone would remove
all that useful information from a quick install guide, only to make a
lot less useful, I don't know.
It would be more useful if some information was provided:
if blocked_by =x11-libs/openmotif-1.2.3 ; then
eblockinfo Due to changes with blah, it is recommended that
eblockinfo you foobar. See http://bugs.gentoo.org/123456.;

It would have to be during the same pre-merge phase that the blocking

Re: [gentoo-user] package conflict on update
Oh, and one other thing. This should also be done for packages that
get moved to different categories, because I've been getting errors
like the following lately...
Calculating world dependencies |
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy =dev-perl/PodParser-1.22.
(dependency required by mail-filter/spamassassin-3.1.0 [binary])
In this case, this simply means that dev-perl/PodParser has moved to a
different category, and the old spamassassin binary package couldn't
find it anymore, because it only knows about the PodParser in the old
category, not the new category. I checked the xorg-x11 ebuild, and it
was fine. It was the binary that still had problems, so I had to
re-merge it without --usepkg. If I recall correctly, I also would
have had to remove the file /var/cache/edb/remote_metadata.pickle,
but I started using NFS for my portage instead. That file has
information about packages, and their dependencies, so I looked in it,
and it had the wrong information. It had the dev-perl/PodParser
info, instead of the perl-core/PodParser info.

But then, at what point would this information be echoed to the user?
It would have to be during the same pre-merge phase that the blocking
errors appear.
Yes, so instead of rushing to this list or the forums, they can do what
the message tells them and be on their way. The current messages are only
useful if you already understand how and why blocks happen, and how to
deal with them.

Re: [gentoo-user] world file cheating
I just boot with a gentoo CD, tar up my entire system, and untar it on the new system. If your new system boots with the gentoo CD as well, then you can pipe this over ssh. Something like the following... cd /mnt/gentoo tar -cz ./ | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cd /mnt/gentoo; tar -xz' I personally actually just use an external HD, that I'm building gentoo on. My primary box has it's portage on the external HD, and I'm trying to install all the packages i need on it. So, if I need a new system, I just copy the entire gentoo system off the external HD, to a new system, and then change configs.

It would be icky to have to specify blocker logic/messages like that. There's
actually an open bug specifically about this issue:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79606
Basically, the problem lies in the fact that portage unmerges the previous
version _after_ the new version has been merged into place. One possible
solution would be to have a special feature that, when enabled, allows portage
to automatically unmerge an old version _before_ the new one is installed (with
protection against unmerging system packages of course).

Yes, or as follows...
if_blocked_by('openmotif')
auto_unmerge('openmotif')
# continue with merge which should automatically be merging openmotif
anyhow.
Absolutely not! I don't want portage removing something I may be using at
the time without my saying so.

I guess I could just be impatient (ok, I _know_ I'm impatient :) but is there a firefox quickstart similar to what I saw on windows once upon a time?
