It's a little time-consuming, but the best way is to edit the world file and remove everything that you don't actually run yourself. Be strict here, for example you should remove everything for X,because you don't need X, only your desktop programs need it. Then run emerge --depclean -p. For each package listed, decide whether you need it, in which case add it to world with emerge -n, or unmerge it. Repeat this until emerge --depclean -p returned no packages. You'll probably find you have a smaller set of packages installed as you current world will contain packages that were either dependencies of programs you have uninstalled or are no longer dependencies of existing packages. Screwing up and cleaning up your world file can be considered part of the Gentoo learning curve :) Incidentally, I almost always install software with --oneshot. That way the programs I install to try out show up on --depclean's output until I decide I want to keep them.

[gentoo-user] Failed to start /etc/init.d/checkroot

How to fix this problem? It seems a bit strange that checkroot gave no output, just failure - as if it's execution didn't even started, and, since it's one of the first initscripts to start, prehaps there's a problem with bash interpreter or access to init.d path. Since you've mounted filesystem and it looks okay, you can try changing last two columns in /etc/fstab for root filesystem to 0 0, so script won't try to check it - that way you can see if it's something with fsck - prehaps the system will just boot. Then, if the rest of the initscripts won't throw some similar errors (possibly exposing the real problem), you can probably insert a lot of echoes/einfos to that initscript to see at which point everything hangs and check what's wrong with the command causing it. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Portage then considers that you know what you are doing, and want to have that package around for ever (or till you remove it). You probably want a browser on your system, so emerge firefox puts it in world. Don't worry about X, it's drivers and the huge list of little independent packages that comprise X as firefox has dependencies in it's ebuild file that cause X to be merged if it's not already installed. The problem with putting everything in world is that you remove portage's ability to clean up junk - it will not remove a package in world when you do a --depclean. This usually happens when you need to update some package to get something else to work, so you emerge it. It then goes into world and you get the bloat. You can avoid this by using the -1 option when doing such an action. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Experience and knowledge of current software you are using is actually your best guide here. Open the world file in an editor and examine each line. If you paid attention while emerging stuff you may find for example that you have xulrunner in world. Immediately, you know it shouldn't be there - it's a dependency for browsers that use it. So remove it from world. If you use the kde -meta packages, you can probably remove everything that is part of the official shipped kde packages. But not k3b for instance, that is a separate project that you must install separately. emerge -av --depclean is the best tool to tell you when you get it wrong - if --depclean wants to remove it and you want to keep it, add it to world again (with emerge -n or even just edit the world file manually) It should be easy enough to write a program that examines world and displays all packages it finds that are dependencies of something else in world, but I haven't found one, and prefer the manual approach above. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Use emerge -pv --depclean on every entry in the world file.

[gentoo-user] emerge --depclean vs. revdep-rebuild
As a cleanup test, I've run emerge --depclean and revdep-rebuild. emerge --depclean removed approx 85 files, which seemed reasonable. revdep-rebuild then rebuilt 7 or 8 packages -- also reasonable. When I run the commands again, emerge --depclean removes the packages that revdep-rebuild just rebuilt. To be specific, the iteration 10 minutes ago cleaned 6 packages: x11-proto/xf86miscproto dev-libs/boehm-gc dev-util/intltool x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto dev-embedded/gputils x11-misc/util-macros and rebuilt 7 packages: dev-embedded/gputils-0.13.3-r1 x11-misc/util-macros-1.2.1 dev-libs/boehm-gc-6.8 x11-proto/xf86miscproto-0.9.2 x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.2.2 dev-embedded/sdcc-2.5.0_p20060502 x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2 Another iteration cleaned 5 packages x11-proto/xf86miscproto dev-libs/boehm-gc x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto dev-embedded/gputils x11-misc/util-macros and rebuilt the same 7 packages. Possibly of interest is that ati-drivers is being rebuilt though it's not being cleaned. This seems behavior less than optimal. FWIW, I'm running on an AMD64 and are: app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4.2-r1 (for revdep-rebuild) sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.11 ( for emerge ) Any thoughts on why the two commands don't agree on what's needed and changes I should make so that the _do_ agree.

I just checked on my 2.6.29-r1, and that path is accurate, and it's at the bottom of the list under Wireless LAN. I recall I set this when I was on the 2.6.26 kernel, so I can say almost without a doubt that it should be on the 2.6.28-r4. Yes, all these are from gentoo-sources.

Take a look in the Depends on line of the item you have
identified as
the driver in the /rt2x00 search output. Maybe something is
not enabled
that is needed for the driver to show up.
It's all enabled either M or [*]. Except for !S390 which I suppose means
*don't* enable. That's cryptographic stuff according to /driver-search and
the only stuff that's enabled under that heading is given like this {M} or this
{*}, there's no {}, ie no choice of *no* driver at all for those particular
entries.

Just double-checked, says depends on EXPERIMENTAL, so I enabled CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL, now I can see the driver under wireless devices. I'm a bit worried though cause under help it says driver for(USB-devices) rt2571 and rt2572 and I got a rt2570. No big deal, I hope ;) mw __ Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people. Go to Yahoo! Answers and share what you know at http://ca.answers.yahoo.com

This may make it compile a bit more at times but it does have a lot of benefits as well. Dale A related thread had a perl script to identify packages as needed/unneeded. After 1. running the perl script 2. removing the unneeded packages from world 3. adding a few virtual/... packages 4. adding --with-bdeps y to make.conf emerge --depclean is now happy, i.e. _nothing_ to remove. However, revdep-rebuild still insists ati-drivers-8.552 is needed. The following message seems to be at the heart of the problem: broken /usr/lib64/libAMDXvBA.so.1.0 (requires libstdc++.so.5) I've created an ebuild bug and will see where that goes. Thanks for the great advice on --depclean. Regards, David
