 Sounds like a race condition between the kernel and the uvesafb driver.
 Only one of them can control the screen at any given time and console
 handover is a tricky business (IIRC this was one of the very things that
 drove the development of KMS). Perhaps every now and then uvesafb just
 ahppened to grab (or ungrab) the console at just the right time.

 A bit of a gap since my last reply but I ended up having to remove Gentoo
while I needed my laptop for work. I've rebuilt it all now based around
gnome 3.2 but the screen issue still stands. I've only got VESA framebuffer
in and nvidia-drivers-285.05.09. I'll try it without any framebuffer drivers
but I'm a bit nervous I'll end up not being able to see anything! Any more
ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Just done that.  I've installed it, and it gives just four choices, all

What I want is to just to get back the plain black icons I had before.


Install a cursor theme you like.  They're in the x11-themes group. 
Personally I use x11-themes/vanilla-dmz-xcursors.


The default X.Org cursors are in the package 
x11-themes/xcursor-themes.  It provides three cursor themes: 
whiteglass, redclass and handhelds.


The plain black cursor that most people refer to as default is 
actually part of KDE.  I assume that Gnome also had something similar 
and they might have dropped them in recent versions (it might suck for 
you, but people simply don't like them :-P)  You can see what cursors 
are installed in /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/.  If it's not there, you 
can't use it.


Again, I recommend you give x11-themes/vanilla-dmz-xcursors (white) 
and x11-themes/vanilla-dmz-aa-xcursors (black) a try.  It's what most 
Gnome distros use (the Oxygen cursors of KDE are a disaster.)


To see all packages providing cursor theme:

  eix x11-themes/ | grep -i cursor

 And the lack of eth1:1 is presumably explained if the system is using
 the iproute2 module instead of the ifconfig module.  My current theory
 is that iproute2 is getting used because I have openvpn installed with
 the iproute2 use flag. [I'm not actually using openvpn, but it's still
 istalled from a couple years ago when I was using it.]
 


From /usr/share/doc/openrc-0.7.0/net.example:

##
# INTERFACE HANDLERS
# 
# We provide two interface handlers presently: ifconfig and iproute2.
# You need one of these to do any kind of network configuration.
# For ifconfig support, emerge sys-apps/net-tools
# For iproute2 support, emerge sys-apps/iproute2

# If you don't specify an interface then we prefer iproute2 if it's installed
# To prefer ifconfig over iproute2
#modules=ifconfig


But for some reason modules=ifconfig doesn't seem to work for me (eth0:1
doesn't get created) but modules=!ifconfig works ;)

Also it seems that  modules_ethX shouldn't be an array, modules_eth0=!plug
!iproute2 uses ifconfig, modules_eth0=( !plug !iproute2 ) uses
iproute2 ;)



As to why you have iproute2 installed... I always install it, so I can't
say which packages might be pulling it in, but you can use equery to
find out:

tableta ~ # equery depends iproute2
 * These packages depend on iproute2:
net-misc/openvpn-2.2.0-r1 (iproute2 ? sys-apps/iproute2[-minimal])

What I didn't know was why iproute2 was being used by the startup

After some further investigation it is worth reporting that the problem was 
caused not by knotify, but by kdeinit!

I exited X and stopped xdm.  Only one knotify4 was left running as well as the 
kdeinit, both pegged at 100% and neither would go away after the X session had 
exited.  I was able to kill -15 the knotify PID, but the kdeinit would not 
shift until I used kill -9.

It's actually kded4 causing the problem, and it is a known issue.
killall -9 kded4 gets things working again.

OK.  It is silly things like this that bites me in the rear.  Is your 
user added to the cdrom or similar groups?


One thing you could try, run the program as root in a terminal, Konsole 
here for me.  That will eliminate a permissions issue real quick and you 
can look for errors too.  If it works, then it is just a permissions 
problem.  If it doesn't work, then it is something with the program 
itself or hardware related.  Let's hope for the permissions one.  It's 
easier to fix and you don't have to take the sides off the puter

Yes, I have googled for much of today.  There are a lot of responses,
but I tried to stick to one where it was related to gentoo.  Like I
said, there is a symlink that links cdrom to sr0.  One of the things I
found when I googled said that they made a symlink to sr0 from cdrom.
That didn't make sense to me so. I didn't try it.

Another post suggested that there was a problem with phonon.  Hence, I
emerge an upgrade (albeit unstable) to phonon-gstreamer.  In honesty,
one thing I didn't try was writing a udev rule that was suggested.
Call me stubborn, but I've never had to write a rule to get an audio
CD to play before so, I will only do that as a last resort.

I've tried to stay away from posts that were back in 2003 and 2004
'cause they may not be relevant now.

The line in my fstab is:

/dev/cdrom/mnt/cdromautonoauto,user0 0

Maybe I should have said /dev/sr0?

I may have to keep plugging, but thought I would post in case anyone
else has encountered this problem.

   Is your user added to the cdrom or similar groups?
Yes!  :-)  In my more newbie days, this was one thing that bit ME in
the butt a few times so, I've learned to cover that base before I cry
wolf!  :-)


 One thing you could try, run the program as root in a terminal,
 Konsole here for me.
Running kscd in a console as root, starts kscd.  The first time I tried
it, I got a message about asound.  I tried running it under by user id
and got no error message.  I ran it again as root thinking I would post
the message, but didn't get any message the second time.

Likewise, for kaffeine, but neither will play an audio CD when started
this way either.

 That will eliminate a permissions issue real quick and you can look
 for errors too.  If it works, then it is just a permissions problem. 
 If it doesn't work, then it is something with the program itself or

I doubt that it is a hardware issue.  The drive reads data CD's and
sound works on the computer - in Juk (which I don't normally use 'cause
I prefer amarok) and also in kaffeine, I can play an audio file that I
have on my hard drive.

 'cause I read somewhere that the problem might be with phonon.

 Any ideas?


 Have you Googled extensively on that error message? It seems that
 there are a lot of people that have had it and most of the forum
 threads I looked at seemed to have either some suggestions or possibly
 answers.

 Yes, I have googled for much of today.  There are a lot of responses,
 but I tried to stick to one where it was related to gentoo.  Like I
 said, there is a symlink that links cdrom to sr0.  One of the things I
 found when I googled said that they made a symlink to sr0 from cdrom.
 That didn't make sense to me so. I didn't try it.

 Another post suggested that there was a problem with phonon.  Hence, I
 emerge an upgrade (albeit unstable) to phonon-gstreamer.  In honesty,
 one thing I didn't try was writing a udev rule that was suggested.
 Call me stubborn, but I've never had to write a rule to get an audio
 CD to play before so, I will only do that as a last resort.

 I've tried to stay away from posts that were back in 2003 and 2004
 'cause they may not be relevant now.

 The line in my fstab is:

 /dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom    auto    noauto,user    0 0

 Maybe I should have said /dev/sr0?

 I may have to keep plugging, but thought I would post in case anyone
 else has encountered this problem.


Sorry. I'm not picking on you. Maybe it sounded that way. I apologize if it did.

Along the lines of what Dale suggested is your user account part of
the audio group?

I've not had any problem with Linux audio in a while, at least not CD
playing, although I don't do a lot of that in Linux so maybe I've
missed something. I will say from personal experience that I've had
the fewest problems with xine but it has a fairly involved user
interface that isn't the easiest thing to get through if you've not
used it before. I use it all the time for DVDs, and sometimes for CDs
although all of that is digitized these days and I hardly ever touch
physical CDs.

Again, my apologies if I ticked you off. I do that sometimes. :-) ;-)

[gentoo-user] New(er) initscript for net-mail/fetchmail: now with inline config support!

2011-10-18 Thread Pandu Poluan
After having Bug #380371 [1] accepted into portage tree (yay! Still having a
high from thatp, I present you with another enhancement on the initscript I
whupped up there: Bug #387009 [2].

This should be a 'drop-in' enhancement to the current initscript (if you've
religiously updated fetchmail to the version incorporating Bug #380371).

The main enhancement would be the ability to specify the fetchmail 'rc' as a
(multi-line) variable in the related conf.d. This reduces the number of
files you have to maintain for fetchmail daemons to just one (per daemon).

Comments are of course very welcome!

(Note: I've personally deployed the new initscript into my office's
production boxen, so it's tested. Bugs may still creep up, though, so I'll
surely appreciate any bug report.)

 If there is need for more information (the mentioned logs for example)
 I will it send it to the list.

On one of my machines I saw a different on the same version of
poppler. I did an emerge -C poppler and then emerge -DuN @world and it
picked up a newer version without complaining.

Hi Mark,

thank you for your help ! :)

I tried it and it results in this:

solfire:/rootemerge -DuN @world
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N~] app-text/poppler-0.18.0  USE=cairo cxx introspection jpeg 
jpeg2k lcms png qt4 tiff utils xpdf-headers -cjk -curl -debug -doc 

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by app-office/libreoffice-3.3.4, required by @selected, required 
by @world (argument)
=app-text/poppler-0.18.0 ~amd64

NOTE: This --autounmask behavior can be disabled by setting
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=--autounmask=n in make.conf.

Use --autounmask-write to write choanges to config files (honoring 
CONFIG_PROTECT).


Is this just another of those cases, where I have to unmask an item
and dont mix 'em ;)  ???

Best regards,
mcc

 cdda is one of my USE flags. I have tried upgrading phonon-gstreamer

 Any ideas?

 Have you Googled extensively on that error message? It seems that
 there are a lot of people that have had it and most of the forum
 threads I looked at seemed to have either some suggestions or possibly
 answers.
 Yes, I have googled for much of today.  There are a lot of responses,
 but I tried to stick to one where it was related to gentoo.  Like I
 said, there is a symlink that links cdrom to sr0.  One of the things I
 found when I googled said that they made a symlink to sr0 from cdrom.
 That didn't make sense to me so. I didn't try it.

 Another post suggested that there was a problem with phonon.  Hence, I
 emerge an upgrade (albeit unstable) to phonon-gstreamer.  In honesty,
 one thing I didn't try was writing a udev rule that was suggested.
 Call me stubborn, but I've never had to write a rule to get an audio
 CD to play before so, I will only do that as a last resort.

 I've tried to stay away from posts that were back in 2003 and 2004
 'cause they may not be relevant now.

 The line in my fstab is:

 /dev/cdrom/mnt/cdromautonoauto,user0 0

 Maybe I should have said /dev/sr0?

 I may have to keep plugging, but thought I would post in case anyone
 else has encountered this problem.

 Sorry. I'm not picking on you. Maybe it sounded that way. I apologize if it 
 did.

 Along the lines of what Dale suggested is your user account part of
 the audio group?
I responded to this via Dale's post, but yes, I did! :-)  Like I told
Dale, this was one thing that bit me in the butt a few times when I was
more of a newbie.  :-)

 Again, my apologies if I ticked you off. I do that sometimes. :-) ;-)

You certainly *did not* tick me off.  I was just explaining.  Sorry if
you perceived that I was angry.  I just wanted to let you know that I
had put in some effort myself before asking for a handout.

I could never get angry at anyone on this list - everyone has always
been very helpful when I needed it.  I may get frustrated, but at a
situation, not at a person directly.

 Hi everyone,


 My CD drive will read data CD's, but will not play audio CD's.  I've
 tried with kscd and Kaffeine.


 When I try to play an audio CD in kaffeine, I get an alert box that says:
 Cannot find input plgin for MRL cdda://
I can now play an audio CD in kaffeine.  I have no idea what I did!  I
did add a couple of packages and because of this changed some use flags
and updated my system with --newuse, but that's all I did.

However, I still cannot play a CD in kscd.

Regards,

Colleen
