[gentoo-user] Piggy Bank as a screen scraper

[Thufir]

I glanced over an article about Piggy Bank, http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/
Piggy_Bank, which interests me as a screen scraper.

What I have in mind are RSS feeds from http://www.craigslist.org/.  
Now, I can setup Feed-on-Feeds http://code.google.com/p/feed-on-feeds/ 
so that lotsa data from Craigslist downloads into the MySQL database.

However, much of the useful detail is buried in the text :(

So, this now makes me think of screen scraping the Feed-on-Feeds 
interface.  Kinda backwards, I'm sure others would come up with something 
more sophisticated, directly accessing the database, but...

Anyhow, my thinking is to use this piggy bank to break down, get at, some 
of the data.  Then I can add that to the database to better track, well, 
whatever.

Just kinda excited at the prospect of a new tool :)

While piggy bank may not really be Linux specific, and definitely not 
Gentoo specific, I just really like the way the different Linux magazines 
talk about software and tools, getting things done :)

According to ufed, the necesarry flags are enabled.  I've unmerged php, 
re-emerged, with new use flags.  can there be a discrepancy between ufed

[gentoo-user] [OT] which DVB-T USB tuner?

[pat]

Hi all,

I want to buy DVB-T USB tuner. I'm thinking about MSI DigiVOX A/D II or MSI
DigiVOX mini II (there are two versions v2.0 and v3.0 - which to choose). Has
someone experiences with them? Which is better supported in linux?

I found, that both have to be supported in kernel (Em2880 and dvb-usb-m920x),
but I need someones experiences.

And if I'm wrong in my choice, please let me know.

Thanks a lot

Any idea what might have caused this breakage?

Although sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2 has been installed, I'm not
using this kernel yet. I'm still using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r1.
And I have not compiled/installed a new kernel since then (ie. when 
automount worked and now).

When I plugin a USB stick, I see the following messages in kern.log:

[Kacper Goc]

I'm using Gentoo on my Dell Latitide D610 laptop. I also have root
access to Dell PowerEdge 860 server with 2 Xeon processors running
under Debian.
Is there any way to configure portage/distcc to compile on server?

Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
the following required packages not being installed:

~sys-apps/suspend2-userui-0.6.4 required by 
sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.19-r3

Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --newuse --deep world` prior to
depclean?  It may be necessary to manually uninstall packages that no longer
exist in the portage tree since it may not be possible to satisfy their
dependencies.  Also, be aware of the --with-bdeps option that is documented
in `man emerge`.

But I've already done so:

pataki ~ # emerge -uDpvt world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

  (/root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order)

And my kernel is:
pataki ~ # uname -a
Linux pataki 2.6.22-suspend2 #1 PREEMPT Wed Aug 1 ...

and I have both packages in package.keywords

# grep suspend *
package.keywords:sys-kernel/suspend2-sources ~x86
package.keywords:sys-apps/suspend2-userui ~x86


So, if all seems ok, why depclean says that I have a broken dependency?

[gentoo-user] Gnome Applet Problem with Batterie Applet

[Kabel The Real]

Hi out there,

I own an IBM Thinkpad T60, and I use Gentoo with Gnome. Everything is
working very good, except on applet, the  Batterie Charge Monitor Applet.
Well this applet or a similar one is very important for me, because I mostly
use my notebook without Power Supply... When I want to add the applet to my
Panel I get the following Error message: The panel encountered a problem
while loading OAFIID:GNOME_BattstatApplet.
Now I know that the batterie Status indicator is working, because when I use
Kismet it's telling me how long I have batterie. Always starting Kismet to
know how long my power last isn't the right thing to do, so I'm asking you
if you can help me, either to fix the problem with that applet or indicate
me anotherone or a shellcommand to find out how long the power will last...

I'm happy for any hint,

Greetz,
Kabel

 Hello,

 First of all, I'd like to thank everyone that has endured and
 answered my emails over the past few days related to the
 installation of an hp laptop. It is finally working fine.

 Looking a /var/log/Xorg.0.log there are numerous problems with
 fonts. Since I always seem to be moving over (word) documents
 from windows, I need as many fonts installed as possible, related
 to what one might expect from word documents. Additionally, I need
 to maintain a robust set of gentoo/linux centric fonts.

 snip
 (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in /usr/share/fonts/util.
 Entry deleted from font path.
[snip more WW]

These don;t matter, as all of them just say that X is to look for a font 
in a dir which doesn't exist. It's just cruft on the screen

 For now I have these fonts listed in my xorg.conf file on most gentoo
 systems I maintain:

 Section Files
 FontPath/usr/share/fonts/util

[snip long FontPath]


 Now looking at /usr/portage/media-fonts I do not see a one to one
 naming convention between what is listed in the
 /usr/portage/media-fonts dir and the gentoo ebuild  names (eix
 fonts). Neither of those correspond either to what is listed in
 xorg.conf.

Well, the ebuild names displayed by eix must be the same as those 
in /usr/portage/media-fonts, otherwise portage can't be working.

eix's default behaviour is to search for the argument in the *ebuild* 
name. It looks like you are expecting it to find the search string in 
the *category* name as well, which it won't do. So, 'eix dejavu' won't 
find media-fonts/dejavu.

The dirs listed in xorg.conf can come from a variety of sources - stuff 
you put there yourself, stuff that got put there by old outdated 
ebuilds, etc, etc, etc. You will probably always need to verify those 
settings by hand in real life.

 Is there a 'fonts-meta' package? it's rhetorical question

No. I doubt there will ever be one as very very few people will ever 
need or want every font available in portage. The thing to do is to 
emerge each set of fonts that you do want individually.

 So how does one go about systematically installing and maintaining
 a complete set of fonts on  a gentoo system, particularly those
 related to a variety of windows generated document fonts

The main problem you will run into in your case is probably license 
issues with the font. Some cannot be installed just anywhere you want 
and some may only be run on Windows. As long as you are licensed to use 
the fonts, simpy have the .ttf be placed in the correct location per 
the wiki pages you mention below. That's all you need to do.

Sadly, it is a manual process to continually ensure you have all the 
fonts you need.

[gentoo-user] Stop net.eth0 from starting?

[Dan Cowsill]

I've got wifi configured with madwifi and use my wifi interface a lot
more than the ethernet I had thought that removing net.eth0 from
rc-update, but that didn't seem to work.  Every time I booted, the
interface tried to go up and get dhcp information.  I then read about
and used a preup function to check that interfaces are actually
connected before they are brought up, and this essentially solves the
problem.  It occurs to me that it would just be a whole lot easier and
cleaner if net.eth0 just didn't try to start at all, but I haven't
found any way to do this short of removing the init.d script from
rc-update.

My question is, is there any way to stop net.eth0 from starting
besides ethtool's preup function?

Thanks.

 sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.19-r3

So you have sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.19-r3 still installed, 
probably left over from some emerge in the past. It wants 
~sys-apps/suspend2-userui-0.6.4, probably because only that version 
worked with the kernel sources in the devs opinion. This kernel version 
and ui version is no longer in portage so they cannot be emerged

You are using 2.6.22-suspend2, with these DEPENDs:
RDEPEND=${RDEPEND}
=sys-apps/suspend2-userui-0.7.1
=sys-power/hibernate-script-1.95

That userui is in portage, so all you need is:

emerge -C =sys-kernel/suspend2-sources-2.6.19-r3

and everything should resolve.

Well, it won't fix your sylpheed-claws which is also not in portage, but 
that's another matter :-)

If you never want net.eth0 to start, you could of course simply
delete /etc/init.d/net.eth0.

Another way to make net.eth0 NOT start is to modify /etc/conf.d/rc:

,[ /etc/conf.d/rc ]
| # Some people want a finer grain over hotplug/coldplug. RC_PLUG_SERVICES is a
| # list of services that are matched in order, either allowing or not. By
| # default we allow services through as RC_COLDPLUG/RC_HOTPLUG has to be yes
| # anyway.
| # Example - RC_PLUG_SERVICES=net.wlan !net.*
| # This allows net.wlan and any service not matching net.* to be plugged.
| 
| RC_PLUG_SERVICES=!net.eth*
`

That's what I do at home as well. Works very fine.

[gentoo-user] rescrict command to certain dirs

[Martin Gysel]

Hi

I have a webserver running for multiple 'endusers'. No I want to give
some costumers access to certain files as user WEBSERVER for easy
editing configuration file owned by the webserver.

it should do something like jail the user to
/var/www/vhosts/DOMAIN/httpdocs/DIRtoFILES and let him perform some
commands (rm, less, nano, etc) there as user WEBSERVER.

AFAIK this isn't possible with sudo because I think it's not possible to
restrict it to certain files or dirs.

Is there an other utility which can do this? Or do I have to setup a
chroot environment?

thx

I had my good times with ATI. Not with your specific model, of course.
Each different card acts in a different way and everything I needed to
know was outside in the web. Your problem is not really a Gentoo one,
its an ATI one. For a start try:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml

And if that does not work, go for the web, foruns, etc...

Good luck (you'll need it)...

Yes, emerge ifplugd. The net startup scripts will detect its presence,
and not try to bring the interface up unless it is connected by a cable.

Kernel sources are slotted, so each time you install a new version, the
old one remains. Like this

% equery list gentoo-sources
[ Searching for package 'gentoo-sources' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r3 (2.6.21-r3)

[I--] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2 (2.6.22-r2)

You can unmerge the unwanted ones, but you'll also have to remove the
directories from /usr/src. In fact, it is faster if you remove the
directories before unmerging.

Quite some time ago, I ran into the same problem and commented this in

then was:

| Ok, I butchered your output a bit, but the fact is that you are using

I'm now trying to do something like this again. I'm trying to compile
Gentoo on AMD XP for my Celeron M (Pentium4) machine. To do this,
I have in make.conf:

CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium-m -mtune=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer

Build machine is a Athlon XP system, target system shall be a Pentium M
system.

Why do I get the illegal instruction error? I thought that because of the
-mtune=athlon-xp, the compiler would generate code which would work
on athlon-xp machines and also on pentium-m machines, thanks to the -march
flag.

Or did I mix those two flags up? Should I use -march=athlon-xp -mtune=pentium-m
instead?

 Kernel sources are slotted, so each time you install a new version,
 the old one remains. Like this

  * installed packages
 [I--] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.21-r3 (2.6.21-r3)

 [I--] [ ~] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2 (2.6.22-r2)
Ok, 
so how my system determines which is the version it must use for
calculating dependencies?
Cause I did not have that source in /usr/src and I did have just my
current one... and emerge says:

Installed versions:  2.6.18(2.6.18)(02:42:26 PM 11/22/2006)(-build -symlink

  2.6.19-r1(2.6.19-r1)(01:11:30 PM 01/11/2007)(-build

  2.6.22(2.6.22)(03:14:16 AM 07/31/2007)(-build

Why 2.6.19-r3 and not 2.6.28?¿
(gonna unmerge 2.6.18 and 2.6.22!!)

 You can unmerge the unwanted ones, but you'll also have to remove the
 directories from /usr/src. In fact, it is faster if you remove the
 directories before unmerging.
In fact, as it's my laptop and I have no much space, I only keep
current kernel source (for modules buid)...
But thanks for the tip.

SWEET..



 Sadly, it is a manual process to continually ensure you have all the

That was my worst fear. Hunting down each font package
I was looking for the magic wand for fonts, or even willing

That said,I'll make some notes, once I straighten it out on

As for the ttf and puting them in the right dir.

[Alexander Skwar]

 I'd think that using -march overrides -mtune. You cannot at the same time tune
 for two architectures.

Hm, what's an architecture? From my understanding, I'd need crossdev
if I'd try to compile for, lets say, PA-RISC on a x86 system. But that's
not what I'm trying to do - I'm trying to compile for x86 on a x86
system.

Indeed, I think that I just have mixed up -march and -mtune (aka. -mcpu).
The GCC 3.4.6 docs have it quite clear:

,[ 
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.3.6/gcc/i386-and-x86_002d64-Options.html#i386-and-x86_002d64-Options
 ]
| -mcpu=cpu-type
| [...]
| While picking a specific cpu-type will schedule things appropriately
| for that particular chip, the compiler will not generate any code that
| does not run on the i386 without the -march=cpu-type option being used. 
`

That's for -mcpu, which is, in 4.x, a deprecated synonym for -mtune.

Well, I'll just give it a try.

It uses all of them, because all installed packages need their
dependencies.

 Cause I did not have that source in /usr/src and I did have just my

It looks like you deleted the source directory without letting portage
know what you'd done.

  You can unmerge the unwanted ones, but you'll also have to remove the
  directories from /usr/src. In fact, it is faster if you remove the
  directories before unmerging.

In that case emerge --prune --ask gentoo-sources will do what you
need, but you still need to remove the directories from /usr/src manually
because emerge only removes the files it installed, not any that were
created or modified by you, like when you compiled the kernel.

With -mtune the instruction set stays the same. It is just rearranged.

If the instruction set stays the same, code generated with

Hm. With -mtune, the set of available instructions (ie.

So with -mtune=pentium-m -march=athlon-xp I'm making the compiler

At least that's how I understand the issue. At the moment I've got two ideas 
to solve your problem:

1. set march to an inferior target (pentium-3 and pentium-3m seem okay: mmx 
and sse) and mtune for one (or even both?) of them
2. set march to one of them and disable incompatible instruction sets with 
options like -mno-sse2 or -mno-3dnow

Isn't the -march=i686 valid?
I guess that would be the most compatible option for binaries that
will run on AMD and Intel processors... Or simply use no -march
setting, only -mtune... I did that recently to switch a whole system
from an Athlon XP to a Intel Core Duo...
