Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Audio installation
Hi! I've got the Powerbook 17 G4 1.5 Ghz model. I think apple only one with that monitor size and processor speed. I got the Video upgrade to 128 and upgraded the hard drive to 5400 rpm. Crappy. Is there a way to run audio apps safely on a PPC processor using Linux? There must be a way to do this, right? I'm hoping to avoid going old school like I did 4 years ago when I compiled the patches into my redhat 8 kernel on i386. I think it's easier with Gentoo to do that kind of work, but I need to find a good resource for this. Suggestions? Anyway, what would you suggest I do to get stable audio on a PPC? Thanks!

Re: [gentoo-user] first ebuild, looking for reviewer
OK, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to do something really, really simple. I have all of the files unpacked. Now I just want to create a directory and copy them there. Here's the normal, non-ebuild bash commands: mkdir /usr/share/castpodder cp -f -R * /usr/share/castpodder Which naturally cause an emerge access violation (mkdir apparently is not allowed). I've tried everything I can think of using too many permutations of the do* commands and just can't hit the right combination. I've looked at several ebuilds and can't find one similiar enough to hack from. Just not my lucky day. Any hints would be much appreciated or some documentation of these functions better than the ebuild howto. Thank you, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Use emerge =dev-util/kdevelop-3.1.2 -av to install the oldest available. #eix kdevelop * dev-util/kdevelop Available versions: 3.1.2 3.2.1-r1 3.2.2 3.2.3 3.2.3-r1 3.3.0 3.3.1 3.3.2 Installed: none Homepage:http://www.kdevelop.org Description: Integrated Development Enviroment for Unix, supporting KDE/Qt, C/C++ and a many other languages. When running emerge category/package it only shows the major slot version. This will (probably) fetch some old QT,Kdelibs,KDEbase versions too. Check 'man emerge' So is there no way to get a version of KDevelp that does not depend on old versions of arts and kdelibs? (That is what I want.) KDevelop 3.3.2 seems to work fine with the new arts and kdelibs, so I suspect the dependency on the old versions is a bug in the package.

This is surely very dependant on you specific hardware and kernel configuration. There are some systems that just dont 'multitask' very effectively. Also, sounds like you have either an older HDD or your motherboard is struggling to keep up with the I/O requirements of compiling. Remeber that compiling is non-trivial work for *any* system. Also check that your kernel is making full use of any features available on you system such as SMP or Hyperthreading etc. As a point of comparison, I'm running a P4 2.6 on an IS7 motherboard with SATA disks, and only under the heaviest compilations, for short periods of time do I notice any slowdowns. -- About the only thing on a farm that has an easy time is the dog. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

How can I manage to install qt-4 without cripple the rest of my system (qt-3 based) ? Is there a way of parallel installation/usage ? And if so -- how can I manage it gentoo-like ? I had the same question a week ago, and Chris White pointed me toward one way: use 'chroot'. This approach costs disk space and some time to set up, but you're guaranteed to not mess anything up in your system and you have a complete new sandbox to play with (or as many as you want). Basically, get enough disk space on a filesystem somewhere large enough to hold your entire installation, and copy everything (from / except for your mount points like /proc and /dev) to that place. Use 'cp -rp ...' to preserve ownership/perms. Write a script that sets up the mount points for that new place like this: mount -t proc none /path/to/clone/proc mount --bind /dev /path/to/clone/dev mount --bind /sys /path/to/clone/sys ...and so on... Once you have that clone set up, you use chroot to change root into that clone: chroot /path/to/clone /bin/bash (/ for this shell is now that clone's root dir) env-update source /etc/profile export PS1=(chroot) $PS1 There you have it -- that shell is now pretending that / is /path/to/clone. emerge away and you're only affecting the clone. You can even su to your usual user account, and run X and everything.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge without download
I download first all the files and put them in /usr/portage/distfiles. After that, I can make an emerge package. So you download them manually? If so, its better to use emerge -f package. It automatically downloads the files and all dependencies to /usr/portage/distfiles, and you can be 100% sure that when you emerge them for good it will use those files. Or, if you must download them manually, try using overlays, and ebuild package digest so that portage knows to use THAT file and it doesnt return md5 errors (size and so on, if Portage uses different tars) -- Gabriel Dain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
