[gentoo-user] KDE4 first impressions
Built KDE4 last night, it took about 4.5 hours total and built without failures. To be safe, I created a new user for testing purposes and logged out of my own account. I use entrance as my dm and I find an entry for kde-4 in the list of sessions available. So far so good. First impression: kde4 starts up fast. I had gotten used to waiting up to 30 seconds for the splash screen to get through everything it needs to. Konsole works, both 3.5 and 4.0 I don;t get the slow scrolling issue another user reported. Konqueror works, now I have to recreate my custom settings that I have grown used to. Kontact works properly and so does the kmail component. kmail on it's own does not work. wtf is up with that anyway? kopete, amarok all work. The oxygen theme is a vast improvement over Plastik. I'm still undecided about the default menu, it looks a little in the style of XP which I can't stand. I know it''s not the same and maybe just a knee-jerk so I'm holding off before coming to an opinion. All in all, a very nice point-0 point-0 release. After using it for a few hours, I can understand what all the hype was about :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

However there seems to be a lot of hype around the new KDE and I think I am gonna give it a go. KDE 4.0.0 is far from being as feature-rich as 3.5.x. It also has some rough edges and bugs. Try it out but don't be too disappointed. See it as the starting point of a long series of instalments. Hopefully, 4.0.1 will have most bugs ironed out. As for features, we will have to wait for 4.1. But, yeah, give it a try. Uwe -- If a man speaks in a forest, and no woman listens to him, is he still lying? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Some of my configs are changed - my Transport setting in Kmail were gone (I had a backup), and the Go menu in Konqueror now only displays History and Most Often Visited items. My mail folders now appear to be out of sync, there are updates in ~/kde and in ~/kde3.5 dated after I changed things back. No further detail yet, it'll take a while to scan everythign and see where the changes are. Meanwhile I have work to do :-) Should a person make a backup of their ~/.kde directory before trying KDE 4.0? Maybe change the directory to .kde.old or something? Your thoughts?

Also, many of the ebuilds that check *how* qt is built before compiling do *not* yet support the way that qt 4.4 has been split out into several packages (do an eix -I qt- to see all the packages that qt has been split to in addition to just x11-libs/qt) - in short, I had to re-mask qt 4.4 and downgrade before I could continue installing kde 4.0 - the qt 4.4 and kde 4.0 just aren't quite ready to mix yet (and qt 4.4 isn't quite ready to mix w/ Gentoo yet, either - there'll have to be a fair amount of ebuild changes to other packages to support it).

I think it's not a group issue. I put myself at cron and crontab groups, just in case. If it was a group thing, you wouldn't even be able to crontab -e.

Re: [gentoo-user] cron and ssmtp
I'm using ssmtp to send mail on several boxes. One of the boxes is running a real MTA and acts as the hub for the other boxes. Check /var/log/mail*. I'm assuming you set mailhub=foo in your ssmtp.conf, which means you're using the box foo to relay your mail. It's possible that the hub is refusing to send the mail. That would look something like: Jan 17 15:44:59 starscream postfix/smtp[8356]: 24E2D4AC9: to= [EMAIL PROTECTED], relay=:25, delay=15, delays=0.1/0.01/15/0.1, dsn=5.7.1, status=bounced (host xxx said: 550 5.7.1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]...

IDK if that mattered. Again, I have no problem sending mail from a

Important: After upgrading PAM, from any version to any version, you
have to restart those services that are using it to avoid internal ABI
mismatches. This includes sshd, vixie-cron (and probably any other cron
service), mail servers, and in general almost every service that
accepts users.
Oh, REALLY? So there's a connection... hmm. I recall an upgrade howto
and check
qfile -o /etc/pam.d/*
/etc/pam.d/cron
... but it seems fine... Referring to a working config, I uncommented
the following line:
session optionalpam_limits.so
Re-emerged with pam useflag enabled again. Joy.
Thanks for all of your input, everyone... I'll be damned if I can
figure out what exactly fixed it, though.

[gentoo-user] emerge error
Hello, I did a routine 'emerge sync' with no problems. Then I did an ' emerge -uDNvp world' and it gives this message: Calculating system dependencies /Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/emerge, line 6518, in ? retval = emerge_main() File /usr/bin/emerge, line 6512, in emerge_main myopts, myaction, myfiles, spinner) File /usr/bin/emerge, line 5813, in action_build mydepgraph = depgraph(settings, trees, myopts, myparams, spinner) File /usr/bin/emerge, line 1174, in __init__ vardb.aux_get(pkg, self._mydbapi_keys File /usr/bin/emerge, line 948, in _aux_get_wrapper self._portdb.aux_get(pkg, self._portdb_keys))) File /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py, line 6552, in aux_get try:del self.auxdb[mylocation][mycpv] File /usr/lib/portage/pym/cache/template.py, line 82, in __delitem__ self._delitem(cpv) File /usr/lib/portage/pym/cache/flat_hash.py, line 98, in _delitem raise cache_errors.CacheCorruption(cpv, e) cache.cache_errors.CacheCorruption: sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.10-r5 is corrupt: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.10-r5' revdep-rebuild is clean..
