Have fun, Roy I had the same problem with a 'missing' libpng12. There are 2 slots for libpng: slot 0 and slot 1.2. You DON'T want anything in the 1.2 slot. What you DO want is the lonely ebuild in the 0 slot. Why? It will create the libpng12.la file that is needed for packages to find the library. So this is what I did: 1. Ran emerge -C libpng to remove ALL versions of libpng that were installed. 2. Ran emerge =libpng-1.2.43-r2. I believe that is the version of the slot 0 libpng. 3. Ran lafilefixer --justfixit -- just in case. 4. Re-emerged cairo to make sure it was linked to my newly installed libpng12 5. Belatedly realized that I should mask every version of libpng above the slot 0 one, and did so. 6. Ran equery d libpng from the 'gentoolkit' package. 7. Re-emerged everything on that list (even Open office - ugh). In step 7, everything compiled and installed just fine - no errors. From what I can see, this looks like an upstream bug, where their source is coded to look only for libpng12, and nothing else. For me it would stop with an error during the linking phase, or right at the beginning (at least those packages had checks). I hope this helps someone. Chris Got handbrake installed. When initially going thru the mess I ended up with both slot 0 and slot 1.2 installed. So unmerged slot 1.2, did a revdep-rebuild, then handbrake built fine. So system is (for now at least) pure 1.4.

Recovered my RAID5 and LVM JBOD volume (a GIANT THANK YOU to the mdadm and lvm2 folks!). Then first weekly update hits the libpng12 issue.

You need it to allow other machines on your network to print, and maybe to administer CUPS if you want to move printer administration to another box. Just got CUPS working from gentoo to kubuntu. The misunderstood part for me was the need to set up cupsd.conf for sharing even though I was only using a remote printer specified with ServerName in client.conf. But now the KDE Printer Configuration dialog appears to be hitting https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204558 So I'm going to conclude that KDE 4.4.1 is not ready for printer configuration and just stick with CUPS.

[gentoo-user] KDE4 printer config question
Howdy, OK, installed KDE 4.4.1 on an older box (BE-2400 4GB ~x86), seems to be working pretty good. But am having trouble trying to figure out the kde way to configure a network (cups on a kubuntu system) printer. From system_settings, Printer Configuration, the Server Settings are all disabled. I think I need to set Show printers shared by other systems. So first tried running system_settings as root to see if it's an authentication issue, no luck, still disabled. Next did some googling and thought maybe need to use kauth to allow it, again no luck. Any good tutorials on how to use kauth? So any ideas on what piece of the puzzle I'm missing? On a side topic, I had cloned the System Settings menu item to set one version up to run as root. The new menu item does not show up in the new menu manager, but does using old style menus. Any pointers on how to add items to the new menu style? TIA, Roy

My line of reasoning is that you want consistency, which is what you get with this method. Printers configured in this way are available in your chosen D.E. In my use-case, I have an HP usb printer which can connect via cat 6 cable and I also use KDE 4.3. I have configured the printer with CUPS via a web browser and have few issues. I trust that helps. Damien I agree, but am wanting to give kde 4.4.1 a try at handling the printer just to see if it can do it. Currently the answer is either no or I haven't found a required configuration change.

[gentoo-user] xorg-server upgrading problem
Howdy, I have a home server/htpc (~x86) that I'm finally updating after a few months and I hit an issue with xorg-server. Here's the background: Was at xorg-server-1.6.3 and current sync tried to upgrade to 1.7.1, which failed to compile. In researching on b.g.o., discovered that nvidia has not released a driver yet that will work with 1.7.1, so followed the bug report directions and masked out several packages to prevent 1.7.1 upgrading. So next attempt at upgrading was to 1.6.5. That failed too, so back to b.g.o. where the first directions were to install nvidia- drivers-190.42. But nvidia-drivers has a dependency to xorg- server-1.6.5, so had to mask 1.6.3 to get nvidia to emerge. Then hit the bug with nvidia-settings with the work around of symbolically linking /usr/include/X11/extensions/xf86vmproto.h to /usr/include/X11/ extensions/xf86vmode.h. Finally removed the xorg-server-1.6.3 mask and successfully emerged. So now it looks like I have xorg-server-1.6.5 and nvidia- drivers-190.42 installed.

[gentoo-user] java lib/ext question
Howdy,
I'm attempting to install the postgis plugin for openjump and it says
to copy the driver jar file to {jre}/lib/ext. This does not feel like
the correct approach given how the java jdks are installed on gentoo (/
opt/sun-jdk-n.n.n.n). I'd expect any changes within the jdk directory
structure would be lost with the first version bump.
Ideally I would expect a symbolic link to a slot based location for
lib/ext, but am not even seeing a default lib/ext directory.
So is there a best practice for handling system vm extensions?
Is there a wiki or documentation for working with gentoo's java
environment?

Re: [gentoo-user] [solved] upgrading ~x68 kde-4.2 to kde-4.3 question

Some plasmoids (like calendar) can be dragged from a panel to the desktop but some (like calculator) can not.

[gentoo-user] upgrading ~x68 kde-4.2 to kde-4.3 question
Howdy, kde-4.3 is now unmasked for ~x86. Whop! But it is looking like a non-trivial upgrade. :( When I installed kde-4.2, I followed the advice of unmasking portage and using sets. Also followed the recommendation to use -kdeprefix. Further I removed kde-3.5 and added a mask on kdelibs-3.5 to help keep 3.5 off of the system. So for the kde-4.3 upgrade, it looks like this is what will be necessary: 1) grab the sets again from the kde-testing overlay and put them in / etc/portage/sets (assumption is to do a replace). 2) unmerge kde-4.2 using: emerge --unmerge @kde-4.2 3) merge kde-4.3 using: emerge -av @kde-4.3 4) recustomize kde as the ~/.kde will not be migrated Am I on the right track?

No. 1) They're in portage. He's asking about the set files, not the ebuilds. and you don't copy the set files. Which set files does one not copy, and why? you don't copy any set files because there is no reason to do so? And if the changes between kde-4.2 and kde-4.3 DO require changes to the set files to build everything, then what should one do? Not copy the files and live with the omission/breakage? Set files do not ship with a --sync, the user must either get them from somewhere or create them himself. And additions to 4.3 are not present in 4.2, so I don't understand your position. Seems to me that copying working set files from somewhere is a requirement in this case, especially if the user uses versioned set files. you install kde-testing. Suddenly you have all the set files needed. you have all the unmask files needed. You have all keyword files needed. And the overlay is not that big. I've been avoiding overlays (been bit a few times) and just running a testing (~x86) system. The first blocker is kde-menu-icons-4.2.4 which looks like it is replaced by kdebase-menu-icons-4.3.0, but here's what happens when attempting to unmerge kde-menu-icons-4.2.4: royw-gentoo portage # emerge --unmerge kde-menu-icons Not unmerging package kde-base/kde-menu-icons-4.2.4 as it is still referenced by the following package sets: kdebase No packages selected for removal by unmerge That's what started me looking for how to do the upgrade. Went ahead and added the kde-testing overlay. Then moved /etc/portage/ kde and /etc/portage/sets to /tmp. This allowed emerge -uDNav world to not have any stoppers. So it looks like the kde-4.3 upgrade is still tightly coupled to the kde-testing overlay. Thank you, Roy

My first guess is that, for some reason, the package is trying to
install a
*file* named /usr/lib/pkgconfig: if this is the case, you can find
out by
checking in /var/tmp/portage/${CATEGORY}/${PF}/image/ (herein called
${D}), which contains the full tree that the package is trying to
install.
If usr/lib/pkgconfig under that directory is a file, then it would
collide
with every package that installs a directory named /usr/lib/pkgconfig.

[gentoo-user] finding qt plugins?
Howdy, On ~x86 did the upgrade to qt 4.5.2 and get the following message: After a rebuild or upgrade of Qt, it can happen that Qt plugins (such as Qt and KDE styles and widgets) can no longer be loaded. In this situation you should recompile the packages providing these plugins... Packages that typically need to be recompiled are kdelibs from KDE4, any additional KDE4/Qt4 styles, qscintilla and PyQt4... Then followed the link on the plugins which stated: The Qt library and all plugins are built using a build key. The build key in the Qt library is examined against the build key in the plugin, and if they match, the plugin is loaded. If the build keys do not match, then the Qt library refuses to load the plugin. So how do I find all the installed qt plugins on my system and check their build keys? TIA, Roy

On Jun 3, 2009, at 12:21 AM, Graham Murray wrote: Is there any way to improve the granularity in the merge function of dispatch-conf, or make it more intelligent? The particular situation where it gives me problems is in configuration files where the value of an option has been manually changed following initial installation, then on an upgrade a new option is added close to the one previously changed. In this situation, dispatch-conf almost invariably wants to reset the changed option line back to its default. When selecting 'm' to merge changes it will present a left hand side with the already existing value (often plus other lines) with the right hand side with the default lines for both the existing line(s) and the new ones. My habit when manually tweaking a config file is to copy the line then comment out the original, like: original: foo=some default changed to: #foo=some default foo=bar this seems to help dispatch-conf some. For really ugly merges, I just skip in dispatch-conf, then merge using kdiff3. HTH, Roy

I was checking the version of x11-libs/qt which is what reported only 3.3.8 being installed. But when I look for all qt-* packages I find that version 4.5 of them are installed. So not understanding why there apparently wasn't a dependency on x11-libs/qt, I went ahead and emerged it. The merge note said that this was a meta package that was going away in the future. Light bulb illuminates. The qt4 USE flag was pulling in the qt-*:4 packages, just not the meta package. Thank you, Roy
[gentoo-user] KDE 4.2.1 lancelot using 100% of a core

This video brought up an interesting question by my friend (an ubuntu user). How would one go about getting Canonical or the ubuntu community to change their practice of not contributing fixes back upstream? Without having to change distributions. Gentoo involves you more with what goes bad under the bonnet and the average Gentoo user is more interested in the workings of their OS to attempt troubleshooting it and filing bugs. Your average Ubuntu user is less likely to get their hands dirty, unless they are a dev. So, essentially we are talking about different user profiles here. To answer your friend's hypothetical question - he would either have to change your average Ubuntu's user technical aptitude, or change the user. Either attempt may mean the end of Ubuntu as we know it. The ubuntus are targeted at disgruntled windows users while gentoo is targeted at unix users. The former are used to complaining and getting no response while the later know it's their responsibility to help make it better... Have fun, Roy

[gentoo-user] kernel install question

I found what I think is the instructions I used before: http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Kernel/Installing which basically say to emerge debianutils The problem I'm seeing is that make install is including the version number in the vmlinuz filenames: # ls -1 /boot System.map-2.6.28-gentoo-r1 System.map-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old boot config-2.6.28-gentoo-r1 config-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old grub vmlinuz-2.6.28-gentoo-r1 vmlinuz-2.6.28-gentoo-r1.old Any ideas or better instructions for getting the versionless vmlinuz files?

That's a long way round of saying that you can't do what you want and build all the KDE4 packages in advance. To minimise downtime, even though it increases the overall install time, you could upgrade you your KDE3 install to 3.5.10. Then you can install KDE 4.x alongside it. KDE 4.2 is slotted so I just built it as normal from within kde 4.1.4 while continuing to use the system. When the emerge finished, I continued in 4.1.4 for about an hour until I hit a stopping point, then dispatched-conf (no kde conf changes) logged out and chose 4.2 and logged back in (didn't even restart X). This was smoothest kde upgrade that I can recall, big kudos to the devs! A few hours into using 4.2 and no glitches! I'm actually able to use plasmoids without 10 second UI freezes. Whoop!

I guess that's the downside of being versionless. Debian on the other hand, due to it being versioned, doesn't have that problem. When I ran an internal gentoo server at my last job, I would try to schedule an update about once a month. That was a lesson learned after the box just worked great for 7 months, then we wanted to add a new application that needed newer libraries, that turned into a 2 day marathon to update the server (it was old, slow hardware). I will predict that you will most miss portage after having to deal with the brain dead apt package manager. Good Luck
