Re: [gentoo-user] Konqueror and javascript
Etaoin Shrdlu wrote: After upgrading to kde 3.5.2, I noticed that simply going to http://www.microsoft.com :-) crashed konqueror consistently even on different machines. Enabling javascript debug, I found that, before crashing, a javascript error was produced. Then I did some tests to verify konqueror's javascript support status, and I found that lots of sites which use javascript are not working (or only partially working) with konqueror, while all seems well with firefox and ie. Now, I have no special knowledge of javascript, so my question is: are these problems due (as happened some times in the past) to konqueror being too strict (and firefox and ie being more permissive) about javascript or, rather, is konqueror's javascript support that is buggy (although this sounds strange to me)? Thanks I think I saw this a week or so ago on linuxquestions forums. You may want to check there too. From what I have read, M$ does not use the internet standard and web browsers that do seem to crash. I recently ran into something similiar with shockwave on the disney website.

Re: [gentoo-user] Does USB devices share bandwidth?
Richard Fish wrote: On 6/22/06, 张�|武 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The two USB slots provided by the USB card are both OHCI (some USB 1.x stuff, not USB 2.0). So far it seems one single printer uses up all the USB bandwidth (sometimes printer stop there several seconds wait for signal). Are you *sure* this is due to USB bandwidth? Many printers have to do internal processing of the document before they start printing, and depending upon the complexity of the document, I've seen printers take several seconds to several minutes to print each page. Simple text documents are usually fast, but complex graphics can take a long time. You might be better off upgrading to a single workgroup-class network-enabled printer. -Richard I too have noticed mine being really slow when doing pictures or some complex graphics. Many people think printers are dumb but they still do a lot of processing. If the printer is old, you may want to see if you can upgrade the memory in it or just get you a newer printer. I have seen increasing the memory help a lot but it still depends on what you are doing and the speed of the processor. Is there a tool to monitor the use of USB ports? Maybe then he can see if it is the printer or the network. Maybe he already has done this and I missed it. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The problem I'm seeing is on the desktop. Every night I do
# emerge world --update --deep --newuse --fetchonly

moves all the files to http-rep cache (/var/cache/http-replicator).
The next time I run
# emerge -autvDN world
portage looks in /usr/portage/distfiles ($DISTDIR in make.conf), and, of
course, doesn't see the files. They've been moved
to /var/cache/http-replicator. Then portage grabs the files, without
consulting http-replicator.
Now, like I said, everything works fine for external machines. They
immediately use port 8080. It's just the desktop/http-rep server that
doesn't use want to use the http-rep cache.

Faith has nothing to do with it. If a package is 'hit' by the new flag, --newuse should cover it. With or without --deep- When run with --update only, emerge considers only those packages listed in world and their direct dependencies. Lower level dependencies won't be looked at, so portage won;t pick up the changed USE flag. From the man page --deep (-D) When used in conjunction with --update, this flag forces emerge to consider the entire dependency tree of packages, instead of checking only the immediate dependencies of the packages. As an example, this catches updates in libraries that are not directly listed in the dependencies of a package. UPDATES not NEWUSE also from man emerge: --newuse (-N) Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE flags have changed since compilation. An asterisk marks when a USE flag has changed since the package was compiled. and I have seen 'far away' dependencies, that got rebuild, without deep!

From what I understand, which may be as wrong as it gets, if I use the buildpkg thing, it stores a binary in /usr/portage/packages/All/ and if I really screw up something, like portage, gcc or something like that, I can untar it to / and rescue myself from my evil doing. That is what I understand and have never actually used this feature before. I have used the portage rescue before though, twice I might add.

Re: [gentoo-user] USE flags question
Calvin Walton wrote: To tell the truth, you can put either kind of use flag in either file. The difference is what you want to apply the flag to. If you want only a single package to have a global use flag set differently from the rest of the system, you put it in package.use. If you see a local flag that might later be used by other packages, or is used by multiple packages, you might want to put it in make.conf. This is something I ran into a while back. For some reason the doc would not compile for hal. I wanted the docs for everything else though so putting -doc in the USE line in make.conf would remove the docs for everything, not just hal. I put this in /etc/portage/package.use: sys-apps/hal-doc That way it would not enable the doc part for hal but would leave it for everything else. You could reverse that function if you wanted to. You could disable doc for everything in make.conf then make a exception in package.use for hal, if you can get it to compile with no errors. Did that help any?

Since I set up the PIII as my emergency hot backup for my main machine, the apps on both machines are generally the same, but unlike the portage tree, I can't guarantee that it'll be exactly the same, so rsync is out.
