[gentoo-user] Big problem: Seamonkey

[Alan Grimes]

Hey, both Seamonkey 2.38 and 2.39 are unstable to the point of being
utterly unusable, I need to re-install 2.35 but it has already been
removed from Portage, HELP!!

There are some mutterings on the upstream bugtracker about it being
related to how Cairo is being compiled/poorly coded, but urgently, I
need 2.35 back.

There was also the CVS archive, but the link is dead.  Probably all moved to 
git now?  Someone else should be more knowledgeable on current portage 
architecture.

[gentoo-user] Miracast from Gentoo PC to TV

[Mick]

Hi All,

Any idea what ebuild I need to connect to a Samsung TV, which uses Miracast.

Is your /etc/mtab a regular file, or is it a symlink to
/proc/self/mounts? The latter is recommended.


It is regular file. I never changed it...

vs5-dns ~ # ls -l /etc/mtab
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 908 Nov  9 19:14 /etc/mtab


Anyway, please have a look at the contents of /etc/mtab,
/proc/self/mounts, and proc/self/mountinfo while named is running and
when it is stopped. If you pastebin them we can take a look for key
differences.


With bind running:

without bind:

Can you try replacing /etc/mtab with a symlink to /proc/self/mounts to
see if it makes any difference? That triggers different code paths in
several programs.


Is "/" shown when you run "df -a"? If it's shown, then there's a bug
in coreutils (as long as they accept a bug on a system where mtab
isn't a symlink) because, AFAIR, "df" should show the mount with the
shortest mount path if a filesystem's mounted more than once.

So there *is* /, but strangely it has no size. But it suddenly does
have its proper size as soon as I stop bind running:

In case it helps anyone else find old stuff, I got there by looking at
the log on the web -- when/where a file is removed or added, it has a
link to that file.

Do you want to use the TV as a monitor or just stream media to it? If the 
latter, you can use net-misc/mediatomb if the TV supports upnp/dlna. I think 
the only solution for miracast right now is openwfd [1] and it looks like it's 
not in the tree yet.

As said, I have the same issue, I also use bind for my nfs4 exports. A 
downgrade to 8.21 or an upgrade to 8.24 solved the issue for me.

Thanks Fernando, I would want to use both, but mediatomb would probably be 
used more often.

I saw openwfd.  Anyone has experience using it, or is it early days yet?
