Do I just run layman -d all and unmerge layman? Does that get the job done? Leave layman installed, it's useful. You also need it if you want the sunrise stuff.

2009/11/12 Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org: 2) I notice that scsi_wait_scan *ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS* shows up as a module when I compile. Is there a way to compile it in? No, due to the nature of what it does. It is designed to be loaded after the modules that start probing hardware, to ensure they find the device holding your root filesystem before booting continues. If your SCSI drivers are built in, or you don't do async scanning, then you don't need it. Take a look at the help for SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC and in the comments by its entry in drivers/scsi/Kconfig for more info.

[gentoo-user] problems setting global shortcuts in amarok 2.2.0
Hi all,
after a recent update amarok has been upgraded to 2.2.0. I've lost my
shortcuts (really don't know why) but now, when I try to set them
again, I can't.
I' ve 3 tabs in shortcut options window: Shortcut, Alternate and Global.
I first confgiure Shortcut to Custom - None, and then I move to Global
and try to set a shortcut like WinKey+V, i.e., but it goes to none
just after setting it... I can't also select default option, which
seem my previous shortcuts settings
I do use XFCE-4 and I've checked that no other global shortcuts are
defined.

[gentoo-user] xorg-server-1.6.5 build errors (~x86 upgrade)
Hi, As you have all noticed by now, I am currently upgrading my system to ~x86. About 220 of the 238 packages were built correctly, but when it got to xorg-server-1.6.5, it crashed complaining about ../Xext/panoramiX.h:44:41: error: X11/extensions/panoramiXext.h: No such file or directory. I'm guessing this means that there was a problem with a dependency being upgraded/installed/omitted. How do I fix this? I have attached the output of emerge --info =x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.5, as requested, and an (abridged) build log. Thanks for your help!

Re: [gentoo-user] Going ~x86?
Thanks for your replies, guys! They have been helpful. I think I know what to do now. And that is... wait. Until I have some time to spare for this. Then, after a backup, I will perform the migration. Now let's see that this openrc and baselayout-2 is that I have read people talking about for quite a while here. Emerging more stuff is okay, also small problems here and there. Generally having newer stuff is nice and geekier. I also have some other Gentoo machines I maintain, and there are two people whose machines I look after, so it may help if I see new problems first. The eix-test-obsolete will be much shorter for sure! Again, thanks for the nice discussion. Wonko

The only problem I've run into is that when I kill my X session, xdm doesn't restart automatically. I have to switch to a vtty and type exec sudo /etc/init.d/xdm restart. I've read the man pages and googled but can't come up with a solution. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this issue? When X exists, is xdm still running or has it died too? You can tell when restarting xdm if it gives errors about xdm not running when the stop phase of restart is run xdm is not running after I kill my xsession. It is running after I log in. I tested using ps -Af | grep -i xdm. Ok, so I reckon the init script dies because xdm dies when X exists. is there anything relevant in your messages log file, Xorg.0.log, ~/.xsession- errors and similar logs? From /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old: Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xorg_backtrace+0x38) [0x812a180] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting That's a segfault so there's a serious bug. It's likely in X itself. Did you recently upgrade X and at the same time rebuild all it's app and all drivers - without exception? This has happened since I have switched to xdm. I've run revdep-rebuild and lafilefixer since my last X upgrade. Is there any other way to check for broken libs? Checking for broken libs is not going to fix a segfault. So what should I do? upgrade X? upgrade xdm?

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE4 equivalent for kwifimanager-3.5

This will be removed soon, so what is the KDE4 equivalent? I use KNemo for such things. It displays a symbol for each interface with in/out indicator in the style of Windows XP. You have the choice between four different symbols (wireless, computer, pci card, modem) and you can choose for which interface it should do so.
