Well in most cases if the versions of the packages installed are same then the 
distfiles are same. But sometimes certain ebuilds are masked for different 
archs so you'll have different versions installed on your x86 and amd64 
machines, in that case the distfiles for those packages would be different. 
Also there mite be certain ebuilds that install binary files like flash those

In the case of a binary, it should.  If it didn't, portage wouldn't know 
which one it was getting.  It may not be a good idea to put a amd64 
binary on a x86 machine.  May not work to well.  So, they should be 
different.


As mentioned before, flash would be one case, video drivers could be 
another if they are binaries as well.  There may be others to.

If trying vanilla sources it would be an idea, to download both:
The vanilla version of the kernel you have encountered problems with 
and the newest shiny one: The kernel of all kernels - the king of the

...just for the case, the kernel hackers -- Linus and crew -- have

 meino.cra...@gmx.de:
 
  there is one feature of forefox, which bugs me:
  On the same site (www.blenderswap.com) I click
  to files to download. One is a *.blend, the
  other one is a *.rar.
  When I click the *.blend, the file gets downloaded
  and stored on my hd at once - bad!
  When I click the *.rar, the file gets NOT downloaded
  at once and instead I am offered a dialog, which
  asks what to do.
  
  I looked into Preferences-Application, which lists
  filetypes and the according action and DONT find
  an entry for *.blend files.
 
 What happens depends on the Content-Type with which the server delivers
 the file. Here is an example.
 
 http://www.triffids.de/pub/blend/
 
 Both files are identical text files, but hm.blend1 comes with text/plain
 and hm.blend2 comes with text/hafi. The last is unknown *g*, so it will
 be asked what to do. text/plain is well known and the browser will
 display its content.
 
  Where can I change the action selected by Firefox
  which gets executed for a certain filetype else?
 
 Look at the Content-Type of your *.blend. One way to do this is with
 HEAD which is part of libwww-perl.
 
 hafi@i5 ~ $ HEAD http://www.triffids.de/pub/blend/hm.blend2

Usually.  But an ebuild can specify a different distfile for x86 but use 
the same name.  This isn't dangerous though, since the checksum will 
catch it.  That means you can use the same distfiles directory for both, 
and if you come across an ebuild that does weird stuff, portage will 
bark and re-download the correct distfile.

[gentoo-user] Questions about the magic Sys Req keys

2011-06-13 Thread Dale

Howdy,

I just had a hard lock up.  I had a random reboot the other day while I 
was sleeping as well.  This was with gentoo-sources 2.6.39.  I'm not 
sure what caused the one the other day but I had several days of 
uptime.  The one I just had was also after a few days of uptime.   I was 
logged into KDE when EVERYTHING froze.  The mouse pointer wouldn't 
move.  The clock stopped.  The numlock light wouldn't even change when I 
hit the key for it.  So, X was locked up pretty good.  I also couldn't 
switch to a console either.  This is the odd part.  I tried to use the 
magic Alt SysReq keys to at least try to get a reasonable shutdown.  
They didn't work either.


So, my question is this.  What kind of lock up could keep the magic keys 
from working?  This is on my new amd64 machine.  It was totally stable 
until the kernel upgrade.  I think this could be a kernel issue.  I 
booted a older kernel and will test it for a few days but wanted to know 
what kind of lockups could keep the magic keys from working.  After the 
hal/xorg deal, we all know how I hate hard resets.  ;-)


Thanks much.

Hi Dale,

this kind of locks happening - as far as I know - when the
kernel itsself hangs or crash (null pointer dereferences and such).

As long as the kernel does something (eats CPU cycles in a more
or less senseful way) the sysreq magic does work since it is due
to its nature located somewhere deep in the kernel just a little
bit above the surface of the hardware...:)

If the kernel crashes the lights may shine but there is no one
at home anymore.

Try to modularize as much as possible to seperate the good from
the bad and the ugly. 
May be upgradeing the kernel to 2.6.39.1 may help also.

Good luck!

Best regards,
mcc

 Personally, I do some cherry-picking and enable a bashcomp when I found out I

 1. It will make bash (or the whole system) slower

well, only when you are hitting tab ... ;)
I know it can be annoying to have to wait a long time when you
accidentally hit tab on a complex command..., but when you know how to
do the explicit filename only completion...

 
 2. For some commands I *might* want the standard completion

 Anyway, KMail has a problem now. I get this error:

 BTW, double-clicking a file in dolphin does no longer open it, but asks

 Hmm, I remember having this before, and there was some easy solution

 It seems to work if I do not close this notice box, I can browse mails
 in my IMAP folders. I can compose new mails, but when I save as draft,
 kmail crashes. Did not try other things yet.

Thanks for the heads up.

You may want to try pointing your calendar, contacts, notes, alarm, in your 
SystemSettings/Personal Information to the files/directories that were 
previously pointing to.

That's what I had to do here after the migration from kde3.5 to kde4 (but I'm 
running sqlite3 instead of mysql on my desktop).  A couple of updates borked 
it and had to this again.

YMMV - please report back if this works.

  Have you looked to see if that mobo has a USB problem and a BIOS
  update to fix it?
 
  Just curious.

  Thanks Dale,
 
  Good thinking. Will have a look. Did upgrade earlier in the year
  but will have another look.
 
 
 
 
  Since the sticks work in other systems, they SHOULD be ok.  Then it
  becomes a hardware issue.  If they work in a OS then it makes me
  wonder if there is something about the BIOS itself.  Maybe the BIOS
  has a issue that only affects it when it is being booted from.
 
  Just my weird thinking.

  Thanks,
   
  2.6.36 works fine
  2.6.38-r6/r7 panic
 
  Have noticed that using device drivers as modules allows
  me to boot with memory stick already inserted. This previously
  would not work. But the problem still occurs when stick is hot
  plugged.
 
  So the issue is half solved At least I can access memory stick.
  So thanks there.
 
  Will try Vanilla sources tonight and report bug to lkml.
 
  BIOS is latest standard. SO can't upgrade there
 
 
 
 
 We know how hard it is to fix a flakey problem.  It could be anything
 or it could be the half asleep geek in the chair.  That last one gets
 me a LOT.  ;-)

Ok the half 10th of geek has finally found the issue (I think)

Tried vanilla sources 2.6.38-r7 still the problem occurs

Tried vanilla sources 2.6.39 - had no keyboard support at all.
Got to loogn prompt but could not write and no sysreq.

Went to work and borrowed an old keyboard with old style attchement
(can't remember what these are called but they have purple ends - serial
ps/2??)

No issues with any version of any kernels plugging in usb sticks.
Include gentoo and vanilla. 

I have a roccat keyboard (which I guess is fairly exotic). This is
somehow causing the problem. How I'm not sure.

Using a standard keybaord and no problem.

So if anyone comes across this problem I recommend try a nother
keyboard.

Will try studying all options in kernel to see if I can cure this.
There are roccat options but these are for macros and don't help. But
there maybe more other subtle ones available.

Regards

Thanks for your help

[gentoo-user] KDE4 + python3.1 == no system-config-printer-kde ?

2011-06-13 Thread Dmitry S. Makovey
Hi everybody,

Is it me missing out on something or does KDE4 (namely PyKDE4) is borked
when default python is set to 3.1?


# eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7
  [2]   python3.1 *
# eselect python list --python3
Available Python 3 interpreters:
  [1]   python3.1 *
# eselect python list --python2
Available Python 2 interpreters:
  [1]   python2.7 *
# grep python /etc/make.conf
 pygrub python python3 pulseaudio qalculate qt3 qt3support

with all of the above PyKDE4 compiles, however
kde-base/system-config-printer-kde-4.6.3 barfs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindPyKDE4.py, line 8, in module
import PyKDE4.pykdeconfig

with a bit of look-around it seems like pykde4 has:

RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS=2.4

which boils down to (what seems like) pykde4 is built only for 3.1

# epm -ql pykde4 | grep pykdeconfig
/usr/lib64/python3.1/site-packages/PyKDE4/pykdeconfig.py

should I be performing some other waving in the air to make this whole
thing fly? It seems like a bug to me, but I'd rather confirm I'm not
missing something before reporting it.
