[gentoo-user] generic command monitor

2009-06-08 Thread Liviu Andronic
Dear all,
I'm looking for a command-line alternative to xfce4-genmon [1]. The
latter takes a command (executable), executes it every specified
period and displays the output in Xfce's panel. I'm looking for a
small utility (script) that can do this in the console: take a
command, re-run it regularly, print the output. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Liviu

[gentoo-user] Portage Patch failed to apply - System will no longer upgrade

2009-06-08 Thread Rod

   Hi.

   This issue is really pissing me off, I have ried almost all the 
fixes, even to the point of booting and copying a Stage3 tarball over 
the running system and doing a Stage3 Install.


   No matter what I do, and for almost ALL packages I get ..
* Portage patch failed to apply (ltmain.sh version 1.5.24)!
* Please bug azarah or vapier to add proper patch.
*
* ERROR: dev-libs/gmp-4.3.1 failed.
* Call stack:
*   ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_unpack
* environment, line 2811:  Called elibtoolize
* environment, line 1065:  Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
*   die Portage patch failed to apply!;
*  The die message:
*   Portage patch failed to apply!

   For this package and everything else I wish to apply, this is 
locking my system in time so I can no longer upgrade any software ;o(

Assuming that this is a problem on your end (no-one else is reporting portage 
problems), let's look at why patch is failing.

If you manually unpack the distfile and try to patch it, what errors do you 
get?

You can use emerge --keep-going flag for portage-2.2 or
emerge --resume --skip-first for earlier versions to update
everything else.
There's also some simple sh-scripts for emulating --keep-going
functionality for earlier portage versions. I can't remember any
specific names, but I'm sure google should be able to help here.

If the problem is specific to this exact version of package (gmp
usually builds, but 4.3.1 fails) and the update itself is not critical
to you (like when you don't even know what it'll bring) then you can
just ignore it altogether - there's a good chance 4.3.2 or 4.4.0 or
whatever-next-version-is will compile cleanly.

You appear to have monolithic kde packages installed. These have been removed 
for kde-3.5.10.

So kde apps are trying to upgrade themselves to 3.5.10, which conflicts with 
the monolithic 3.5.9 packages.

Options:

1. Mask all of 3.5.10 and every package
2. Remove monolithic packages and install -meta packages
3. Dump kde-3

yes, qt-4.5.1 does not like earlier qts. And as a kde user you should not use 
qt-phonon.

[gentoo-user] KDE menu missing

2009-06-08 Thread Mick
Hi All,

Can't recall if anyone else posted on this.  Just updated my KDE to
the latest 3.5.10 and discovered that there is no KDE menu!  This
means no KDE applications menu, as well as no menu on the left hand
pane when I run kcontrol from a terminal:

kcontrol: WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found
! Defaulting to Settings/

Also, I used to have this in my Fluxbox menu to launch Konqueror:

  [exec] (Konqueror) {kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing}

However, this won't launch konqueror anymore.

elog said something about running kbuildsycoca as the user I want to
launch konqueror from, which I did,  but is there anything else I
should do to fix any of the above?

[gentoo-user] on AMD64 firefox + java (32bit) - howto

2009-06-08 Thread Helmut Jarausch
Hi,

I've firefox-bin-3.5beta4 installed on my AMD64 Gentoo system.
Typing about:buildconfig as URL it's saying it's a 32bits application.
For java(-applets) to run, I need a 32 bit java.
GenToo installs 64 bit java jre/jdk on my system by default.
How can I install a 32bit version in addition (just for firefox and
might be opera)

Many thanks for a hint,

I gave up on the KDE desktop after investigating KDE 4.2.1 (ugh!)

 I gave up on the KDE desktop after investigating KDE 4.2.1 (ugh!)

 so I no longer use a KDE menu, but after updating to Kdelibs 3.5.10-r6 ,
 I too encountered the problem with Konqueror above,
 for which the fix is to rewrite with '{konqueror}'.

Thanks Philip, I also noticed that 'konqueror' works fine, so I
changed the FB menu accordingly.  Apwal looks cool, I will give it a
spin (although I am conditioned to years of using the FB right-click
menu).

The problem remains though with most menus and submenus in KDE
applications;  e.g. right-click on a file in Konqueror, then 'Open
With' and there are no applications in the popup to select from ... I
have to type the application manually.  This is a rather significant
usability hurdle for me.

 THAT was helpful! Thanks a lot ... it simply WORKKS!

Great to hear! At least sometimes my blind guessing works. :)

Anyway, you might want to file a bug for it, if it prevents running
kaffeine. Also, there is already one (by some other kind person)
possibly fixing your original problem with kaffeine-0.8.6:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273030

But there is also this one:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272736

I'm wondering if this latter one is due to similar path problems? It
would seem as if all kaffeine (or kde?) versions could be suffering
from looking for various things like .desktop entries, icons etc from
under similarly wrong paths?

Yeah, but they don't work for me. Are they up to date?

From http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/cdrecord1.html as Cygwin didn't

   cdda2wav dev=2,0 -vall cddb=0 -B -Owav

   cdrecord dev=2,0 -v -dao -useinfo -text  *.wav

   This  will  try  to  copy track indices and to read CD-Text information

[gentoo-user] slim login manager issues

2009-06-08 Thread Laurent Lejeune
Hi all,

I'm having some issues with the slim login manager, which suits my very
basic needs very well, except from those two things:

* When starting, the keyboard doesn't respond quite well. The
  characters don't show on screen imediately, and sometimes, it gets
  even worse: it freezes for maybe 1-2 seconds, then the first key i
  hit gets stuck, which basically means it repeats that caracter a
  fine dozen of times.
* when i have to restart x, slim doesn't restarts itself up, i'm
  thrown back to basic console login prompt.

Any help greatly appreciated.

[gentoo-user] peculiar ppp problem

2009-06-08 Thread Maxim Wexler
Hi group,

I have been switching my dial-up account between my desktop PC and my
netbook eee. Both use identical ppp conf files except the PC uses
/dev/ttyS0 and the netbook uses /dev/ttyUSB0(created by the pl2303
driver and a usb/serial connector). I'm using separate but identical
USR modems.

Both seem to work in that the appropriate LEDs light up on either
modem but the log tells a different tale.

In the PC: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid ), status = 0x1.
Which means I am connected.

In the netbook, status =0x0. Which means un-connected.

FWIW on the netbook I'm using systemrescuecd-1.2.0, running /root%
pon isp on one terminal and attempting to emerge gentoo-sources from
a chrooted environment on another terminal which fails, naturally,
with 'unable to resolve host address' errors.

I've done this often before without problems.

Maxim

Your problem is that either your CD-ROM drive has buggy formware or that the CD
is mastered in a way that contains illegal characters...

Given the fact that is is most unlikely to have the same ISRC for all tracks on 
the CD, I would asume that it's a broken drive.

Typical ISRCs look this way:

T:  1 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00554
T:  2 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00555
T:  3 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00556

T: 13 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00565
T: 14 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00566

The first two characters are the two character code for the country where the 
recording was made. The next three characters are the Studio ID, the next two 
characters are the last two digits of the recording year and the last 5 digits
are a serial number for all recordings of a year in a specific studio.

If you correct your *.inf files to contain correct values or if you just remove 
the entries, cdrecord will work.

 Your problem is that either your CD-ROM drive has buggy formware or that the 
 CD
 is mastered in a way that contains illegal characters...

 Given the fact that is is most unlikely to have the same ISRC for all tracks 
 on
 the CD, I would asume that it's a broken drive.

 Typical ISRCs look this way:

 T:  1 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00554
 T:  2 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00555
 T:  3 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00556
 T:  4 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00607
 T:  5 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00557
 T:  6 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00558
 T:  7 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00559
 T:  8 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00560
 T:  9 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00561
 T: 10 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00562
 T: 11 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00563

 T: 13 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00565
 T: 14 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00566

 The first two characters are the two character code for the country where the
 recording was made. The next three characters are the Studio ID, the next two
 characters are the last two digits of the recording year and the last 5 digits
 are a serial number for all recordings of a year in a specific studio.

 If you correct your *.inf files to contain correct values or if you just 
 remove
 the entries, cdrecord will work.

BTW - do you have a cdrtools users list? Maybe this is too off topic
for many Gentoo users? If this bothers anyone please let me know and
I'll try to take appropriate action, assuming there is some place else
to have such a conversation.

Indeed, in the files created by the LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-411S (my drive
1) I see bad characters:

CDINDEX_DISCID= 'YasSG0mWGVxInJOH.LN2lnPcBoY-'
CDDB_DISCID=0x870dbf0b
MCN=
ISRC=   0...@-405-72-1

While in the files created by the LITE-ON LTR-48246S (my drive 2) I
see no characters:

CDINDEX_DISCID= 'YasSG0mWGVxInJOH.LN2lnPcBoY-'
CDDB_DISCID=0x870dbf0b
MCN=
ISRC=

OK, so we've made a little headway. Buggy firmware in drive 1. So I
did the cdda2wav step using drive 2 and wrote the new disc using drive
2 also. This disc plays in the car, but only the first track! From
track 2 on I just hear the head seeking around and (apparently) not
finding what it's looking for. But that's an improvement!

Here are the results from the copy/write of the disc on drive 2:

I've updated from monolithic to split (actually removed monolithic and then 
installed split) years ago.  It has been working fine until now - 3.5.10

I seem to have installed kde-base/mimelib, I guess as dependency:

Re: [gentoo-user] slim login manager issues

2009-06-08 Thread Sebastian Günther
* Laurent Lejeune (olo...@gmail.com) [08.06.09 19:19]:
 Hi all,
 
 I'm having some issues with the slim login manager, which suits my very
 basic needs very well, except from those two things:
 
 * When starting, the keyboard doesn't respond quite well. The
   characters don't show on screen imediately, and sometimes, it gets
   even worse: it freezes for maybe 1-2 seconds, then the first key i
   hit gets stuck, which basically means it repeats that caracter a
   fine dozen of times.

I have that problem, too. But upstream has an even bigger problem: 
Maintainer needed.

 * when i have to restart x, slim doesn't restarts itself up, i'm
   thrown back to basic console login prompt.
 

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261359

 Any help greatly appreciated.
 
 cya.
 

I think until there is a new maintainer, nothing of this will get fixed 
anytime soon. :-(

[gentoo-user] Finding orphaned libs

2009-06-08 Thread Alan McKinnon
Hi,

Is there an easy way to detect the orphaned libs on and old machine who's 
install dates back to 2004? The only idea I can come up with is 

for I in /usr/lib/*.so.* ; do equery belongs $I ; done

which strikes me as being a tad overkill...

OK - thanks for that Paul. Since the machine is dual boot and I'm in
Windows most of the working day this wasn't too difficult. Both drive
have had their firmware updated. Still the LDW-411S reads the ISRC's
incorrectly. The LTR-48246 looks good though. (It was good before the
firmware upgrade also, so actually no change, but the firmware is
updated and that's good.

In parallel with the efforts on that machine I made headway on another
machine - my new MythTV backend server of all things. It's a PowerPC
based Mac Mini- 1st generation - with a Matshita drive in it. I
started with cdda2wav -paranoia at max speed and it failed. I lowered
it to 20, then 16, then 8. Paranoia kept failing. Finally at speed=6
it worked.

Armed with that data I used cdrecord to write a new copy and amazingly
it worked. Plays just fine in the car. I haven't had time yet to see
if an iTunes box picks up cddb data or anything like that but at least
it worked on the car. If there are other problems hopefully I can get
those worked out soon.

I started a similar test using the LTR-48246 with another CD-R that I
haven't been able to copy. Using paranoia so far 16x and above failed,
I'm trying 8x now.

Anyway, it seems I'm making some headway. I really appreciate your and
Jeorg's help! Thanks!

Cheers,
Mark

Depends if you do have those packages installed. Numeric is from
dev-python/numeric, for example.

Also, be careful when you parse the output of the command. Most of the
.pyc and .pyo files in the python2.5 directories are byte-compiled
version that python generated dynamically the first time they are
used. For example: /Numeric/numeric_version.py was installed by
the ebuild and thuse qfile tells me it belongs to dev-python/numeric,
but .../Numeric/numeric_version.pyc is listed as an orphan. While it
is safe to delete, it will just be regenerated again later, wasting
computing cycles. 

Ditto for some of the files in the perl directory.

 Depends if you do have those packages installed. Numeric is from
 dev-python/numeric, for example.

 Also, be careful when you parse the output of the command. Most of the
 .pyc and .pyo files in the python2.5 directories are byte-compiled
 version that python generated dynamically the first time they are
 used. For example: /Numeric/numeric_version.py was installed by
 the ebuild and thuse qfile tells me it belongs to dev-python/numeric,
 but .../Numeric/numeric_version.pyc is listed as an orphan. While it
 is safe to delete, it will just be regenerated again later, wasting
 computing cycles. 

 Ditto for some of the files in the perl directory. 

 W
   

That's sort of what I was thinking.  It was generated when it was
started up the first time.  I also noticed some things that I installed
in the Seamonkey directory too.  Adblock was one of those.

Tho there was a good many of them, I suspect most all of them belongs to
something here.  I may just leave well enough alone, may poke around a
little but nothing risky.

Thanks.

[gentoo-user] Trying SRC_URI first during fetching

2009-06-08 Thread Nikos Chantziaras
Normally, portage will try fetching from GENTOO_MIRRORS during an emerge 
and SRC_URI comes last.  I want to reverse this; try SRC_URI first and 
if that fails, only then proceed to fetch from GENTOO_MIRRORS.  Doable?





[gentoo-user] Atheros kernel driver and my wireless access point setup

2009-06-08 Thread Jason Carson
Greetings,

I am trying to setup a wireless access point using the atheros kernel
driver (Built into the kernel, not as a module). I am using
Vanilla-Sources 2.6.29.4. I need my wireless network card to start up in
master mode but for some reason it is starting up in managed mode.


When wlan0 starts up I get this error message...


* Bringing up interface wlan0
*configuring wireless network for wlan0
Error for wireless request Set Mode (8B06) :
   SET failed on device wlan0 ; invalid argument.
*wlan0 connected to SSID MyNetwork
*in managed mode (WEP Disabled)
*  null...[ ok ]


then when hostapd starts up I get this error message...


* Starting hostapd...
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
Failed to set interface wlan0 to master mode.
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=5 eloop_data=0x80f5a38 user_data=(nil)

Anyone know how to change my wireless card to master mode and make it so
I don't get those error messages?


Thanks


P.S. I have everything working with madwifi and an older kernel so worst
case scenario I stay with that configuration until I get this problem
figured out.




Re: [gentoo-user] Atheros kernel driver and my wireless access point setup

2009-06-08 Thread Jason Carson
Hey all,

I think I might know the problem. After doing some reading apparently many
distrutions, including Gentoo, don't ship hostapd with support for the
nl80211 driver. I checked the Gentoo tarball and this is the case. I tried
editing the defconfig file in hostapd.tar.gz (enabling
CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y)but when I opened the tarball, edited it, and
created a new tarball then tried to emerge it it gave me this...


penguin distfiles # emerge hostapd
Calculating dependencies... done!

 Verifying ebuild manifests

 Emerging (1 of 1) net-wireless/hostapd-0.6.9
Refetching... File renamed to
'/usr/portage/distfiles/hostapd-0.6.9.tar.gz._checksum_failure_.70f9W1'


...and then wanted to download hostapd again.

Anyone know how I edit the source of the hostapd tarball so it will work?

Should you also define in your /etc/conf.d/net the driver?  

   modules=( wpa_supplicant )
   wpa_supplicant_wlan0=-Dwext

(but I'm not sure of the options because I have never set up the card as 
master with hostapd).

HTH.
