Do you want to disable colors for everything, or only for specific 
tools?



Ideally for everything inside an xterm or console screen. I'm going to 
try "-cm" for xterm. Thanks David (in a previous post) for the 
suggestion.



"-cm" works fine, thanks. Console is not that important since I'm rarely 
sitting there.

2019-07-04 Thread Christian Groessler

Thanks Ralph.

In the meanwhile I had found out the "NOCOLORS" setting in make.conf 
which works for "emerge".


man pages in color are the other most important problem right now. I 
will check out your suggestion.

The methods vary between command line tools.  You can for example
disable the 'manpager' USE flag for sys-apps/man-db. The manual page for
emerge mentions different methods (search for "--color"). Depending on
the terminal software you use, you might be able to select monochromatic
colour profiles (iterm2 for macOS does support this).

[gentoo-user] How do I get rid of colors (console and xterm)?

2019-07-04 Thread Christian Groessler

Hi,

I'm new here. My question is how do I get rid of colors in "emerge", 
"man" and other command line programs. I managed to do in the shell 
(bash), but I'm somehow lost how to change it elsewhere. In "vi" I know 
of "syn off".


See attached a pic of an xterm window, which I cannot read easily. (I'm 
color-blind, so this might enhance the problem.)

I do this with a combination of "mosh" and "tmux". That works perfectly.

It even can catch disconnected DSL or Wifi.

I'm using a T530 with Optimus. I can only external monitors only with

I'd like to use the internal card most of the time since I don't care

 There is Bios Boot 2MB but no Boot partition where kernel is located.

The 2M partition is the boot partition. But it is much to small, I've
been re-sizing it to 1G. That's more than enough for the initrd image,
grub and the kernel.

By the way, keep in mind that if you plan to use suspend to disk you
will need 2x RAM disk space on swap in the worst case.

 It definitely works here, and fdisk shows it to be a hybrid image. You
 are writing it to the USB device itself and not a partition on it?

Yeah, I'm sure. But it might be a weird BIOS problem, since I can only

[gentoo-user] Kernel configuration management

2012-11-06 Thread Matthias-Christian Ott
I'm planning to migrate several computers to Gentoo. At the moment I'm
running two machines with ad-hoc kernel configurations based on the
kernel configuration from the installation CD (which was created for
2.6.26). In order to keep the maintenance effort for the new machines
low, I would like to have a unified/baseline kernel configuration with
minor adjustments for some machines.

I have been thinking about this for several weeks now and came to the
conclusion, that there are two sub-problems: Creating a universal kernel
configuration and merging and maintaining specific configurations with
the baseline configuration.

The second problem can be solved by simple concatenation and/or
defconfigman, kccmp and make silentoldconfig. OpenWRT does this pretty
much the same way.

Creating the baseline configuration is much harder. So far I tried make
defconfig, the installation CD configuration and kernel-seeds.org. None
really satisfied my requirements and often resulted in ad-hoc changes
when I simply went through a compile and reboot cycle until everything
worked. I had a look at policies of other GNU/Linux distributions [1,2]
and found that I need to develop or adopt a policy for my systems (the
Ubuntu modular where possible policy seems reasonable to me and
probably makes the curent ad-hoc configuration unnecessary). I also
thought about reusing kernel configurations from other distributions,
but have some doubts about kernel version mismatches (i.e. the kernel
versions of Gentoo and the other distribution differ) and about
unintended implications of kernel options that I don't fully understand.

The mailing list archives show that this topic has been partly discussed
before (especially whether Gentoo should have a default kernel
configuration like other distributions), so I don't want to start a
lengthy discussion about this here. I'm more interested in what other
people do for larger deployments/installations on heterogeneous hardware.

Matthias-Christian

installed successfully. But groupoffice doesn't work now. It works when
I change the php version to the older one but than mediawiki will no
longer work. Here's my php eselct settings:
 eselect php list apache2
  [1]   php5.2
  [2]   php5.3 *

So I installed both versions (see eix php at the end of this mail).

Now my three questions:
1. Is it possible to tell apache to use the old php for groupoffice and
how can I do that?
2. For groupoffice is a newer version availlable which would use the
newer php version but it's not in portage. Why?
3. Does anybody use another groupoffice? Actually I need only the
feature for email. Usualy I connect with thunderbird to my IMAP-Server
but when I'm on the way and have only a browser I want to access IMAP
and send Emails anyway. I tried all groupware in portage  like horde and
so on, and none of them fitted my needs.

Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot and cheers

It is possible to setup alsa using bluetooth:
Add to ~/.asoundrc (if it doesn't exist just create it)

pcm.bluetooth {
type bluetooth
device 11:22:33:44:55:66
}

(replace 11:22:33:44:55:66 with the actual
address of the bluetooth headset). Sound can now be directed to the
headset via the alsa device bluetooth, e.g.:

ogg123 -d alsa -o dev:bluetooth

Some GUI application doesn't show that device in their configuration
dialogue. vlc is an example of this behaviour, but it is possible to
make vlc use it by manually editing the configuration file. 

You can also make the bluetooth device the standard device by 

pcm.!default {
type bluetooth
device 11:22:33:44:55:66
}

It is a long time since I made that setup, so I can't say if it will
work out of the box. But it is possible to avoid pulseaudio. I hope it
will help.

If you do not want a piece of software, why should you install it?
Installing and not using it instead of not installing it at all, is the
wrong way and (to my opinion) it is defintely not the Gentoo way.
 Well, I have drawn the conclusions and got rid of kmail and am on the
verge of migrating the whole desktop. I loved kde-3.5, I seriously
tried kde-4.*, but I could never befriend with it. And one point I
detaste is that Social Semantic Desktop thing (as Nepomuk is

another instance of what Kant called selbstverschuldete

[gentoo-user] Has semantic-desktop really become compulsatory for kmail?

2010-02-10 Thread Christian Apeltauer
Hello list,
 when I synced my portage tree today, I saw that kmail-4.4.0 needs 
kdelibs compiled with USE=semantic-desktop and cannot be told to not 
use it. But I do not like the idea of semantic desktop and I will not 
install it. But I really like kmail as my mail client, so I give it a 
last chance:
 Is it possible to compile kmail without support for semantic desktop 
(by writing my own ebuild) or will the code break without it?
 Thanks for your hints

Hm.  I used that driver until very recently, when my brother-in-law
upgraded his video card and gave the old one for free.  His timing
is not usually that good.  :o)

You can still use the nv driver, if that's adequate for your needs.

If the nv driver isn't good enough, then I'd say it's time upgrade your
video card after all these years.  I never really noticed any difference
between the nvidia and nv drivers when I still used the old TNT card.

Hi folks,

Me again.  I'm thinking about writing a bash script that backs up my
/home directory.  I found a guide but before I read all that stuff and
muddy up the waters, is this thing current and will it work fine with
the bash Gentoo uses?  Links to a even better guide would be good too.
The guide I found is here:

http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
 

The advanced bash scripting guide will be equally valid nowadays as it was
when it was first written. A few minor edges have changed in bash in the
latest times, but you are unlikely to get touched by these unless you are
using some rare feature. After all, bash is compatible with the original
bourne shell to a big extent, and that part of its behavior never changes.

If you truly want to learn bash, I say go for it and come back when/if you
have some problem.

a question to b):
Can you tell me a fs that supports snappshots (I'm planing to set up a

maybe how to use it (link)? So if you say or LSM does this mean I can 
achieve this also woth LVM? How?

thx...

If you have some more tips, my current server runs on a single HDD and a 
daily rsync to another computer makes my backup. In my new server I'd 
like to improve as much as possible for as less money and energy as 
possible (since it's only for me...) so I thought about RAID as well. 
Today I'm using very old standard desktop hardware and for the new one I 
like to use also standard hardware so I don't know if I can afford a 
RAID-5 card or so... and I never made software RAID... do you have some 
recommendations (links?)? thx

That's basically it. I also agree that rsync is nowadays the way to go for
general purpose backups, unless...

   a) the volume can't be mounted while the backup is running (not the
case)
   b) your fs supports snapshots (or you use LVM)
   c) you have an rcs based solution, like svn, git or whatever else

The snapshot option is the absolute safest because it ensures that all the
files will be consistent, and the tar based solution is probably the worst
of them unless you truly can guarantee that the files are not being written
concurrently while you do the backup (i.e. the fs is not being used at all
or it's mounted read only). A good practice in any case is to capture the
exist status of any given tool you are going to use to ensure that no error
happened. Discovering that a backup is incomplete or corrupt when you need
it is a bit unpleasant to say the least.

Bash can be used for that, just to put a simple example. As you say,
regardless of the solution of your choice to do the actual backup there's a
lot of room for improvement, automation, error loging, verification, etc.
using shell scripting.

problably the

and maybe you should start it with -D so you get an better error message.

Add

[gentoo-user] Looking for a iCalendar (ICS), CalDAV, or WCAP-SERVER

2009-11-17 Thread Christian Könitzer
Hi,

I installed Lightning in my Mozilla Thunderbird. Lightening supports iCalendar 
(ICS), CalDAV, and Sun Java System Calendar Server (WCAP).

How can I install one of those Servers on my Gentoo Linux (HowTo?, Package?)? I 
searched with eix -S wcap etc. but did nothing found nor did I found a server 
with google. I prefere to instal a WCAP-Server, than a iCalendar Server, and if 
both is not possible a CalDAV-Server...


Thanks for any answer!

The result of

is nothing. So the if clause is false although I pieped STDERR to /dev/null.

 except that STDERR is combined with STDOUT and sent to /dev/null so the

 redundant. Better would be

 if echo hello|grep --color=auto l /dev/null ; then

grep writes to STDERR if an error is occured.

The result of

If the moduleoption was set when booting, one could of course use

The chance that security of a well configured system will be compromised

I use Yahoo (with POP) only because I do not want my email address to change. 
What has to be added about this: getting a POP or SMTP connection with SSL as

My logic for seconding the suggestion is I have recently experienced
e-mails from my server going missing after entering the Yahoo system.
They are the ONLY email provider where this has happened to me.


This comes from Yahoo's spam policies and their idea of defending spam. They 
send '451 Message temporarily deferred' to all not white-listed mail servers, 
which results either in a very long time for delivery or in the mail not being

Re: [gentoo-user] Wireless problem

And ipw3945d is NOT started in any runlevel.

Few days ago, I had some problems while booting my system caused by udev. 
After updating udev to version 114 the problems are gone.

So, I don't load the kernel module explizit and I do not start the daemon 
automatically in one runlevel.

In my case, it seems to be done by udev.

I also have written a script to start/stop wireless lan manually.


I hope these information may help you.

  lsmod does not list the driver even though I emerged it and added it to
  the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 file
 
  I tried doing a google on the above error message and one of the hits
  indicated that the person had the same problem, but at least had the
  ipw3945 directory in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/  I don't even have that.
 
  I have no idea what is going on here, so any help would be appreciated.
  And since I'm not really strong in networking, please lead me by the
  nose.

 I have the same hardware and had the same problem.  I have used the
 following kludge to fix it.

 Add ipw3945 to /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6
 and add ipw3945d to the boot runlevel

 The first attempt autoload ipd3945 (from modules.autoload) will cause
 an error, but the second load (from the deamon in the boot runlevel)
 succeeds.  When I pull the erroneous line from modules.autoload, the
 load from the boot runlevel fails.  (It seems to need two tries :-) ).

 I have been told that the new (unstable) baselayout fixes this but I
 can't confirm since I run stable.

Here is my script to start/stop wireless lan manually:

 You'll have to wait until a new ebuild is imported into portage or you'll
 need to copy the SpamAssassin ebuild to a local overlay and bump the

 *OR* you just download the tarball[1] of the old version yourself and place

[gentoo-user] Still video problem was: Videos not playing anymore

2007-06-11 Thread Christian Herzyk
Hi,

I still have the same problem:
videos that I want to play with xine (or similar viewers) do not show anymore.  
In xine the screen stays blue and I just hear the sound of the videos.
If I change the video driver from xv to opengl I get some moving stripes 
coresponding to the main colors in the video but nothing more.
I reinstalled everything related to video playback, but no change.
Playing videos from youtube etc. work, realplay stays black as well.

Is there really none that has any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks

 These programs appear to be compiled with different use flags.  For
 example, xine-lib has xinerama but xine-ui doesn't.  I don't think it's
 likely for that to be the root of the problem, but I wonder whether
 support isn't missing in another dependancy.  May I suggest you examine
 the output of emerge -pvN world to see whether anything needs to be
 recompiled for the new use flags?

It seems you did not look correctly, both have -xinerama useflags. I see no 
difference. And I did a complete emerge -e xine-lib so everything it depends 
on should be fine, right?

 Yes, sorry.  The '-' was on the previous line, and in my post-waking
 grogginess I must have missed it.  Furthermore, your -e emerge is
 certainly a good way of being sure.

 I take it this happens with videos that used to play?

Well the layout is really bad, but kmail did not let me change it.
Yes sure, tried a DVD today, with the same problem, screen stays blue, sound

[gentoo-user] Problems with HAL

2007-04-22 Thread Christian Herzyk
Hi all,

I have a problem with external devices.

When I insert a CD/DVD into my DVD-drive I get the KDE dialog asking if I want 
to open a window ...
If I klick yes, (or try to mount the CD from konquerors media:/ site) I get 
this error:
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to 
this recipient, see message bus configuration file
(rejected message had interface org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume 
member Mount error name (unset) destination org.freedes
ktop.Hal)
On the console the user can mount the drive!

Whenever I plug in my camera (Canon Powershot G2, supporte by gphoto2) I get 
this dialog as well but neither gphoto2 nor digikam will find the camera when 
started as normal user, root can download pictures with gphoto2.

Now I got a new Creative Zen Vision M (mp3 player) it uses mtp and libmtp is 
installed, as well as amarok with the needed useflags.
mtp-detect as user returns nothing, as root it returns the expected data.
Neither Amarok nor gnomad2 find the player, no matter if user or root starts 
them.
 
So to me this seems like a problem with user rights or HAL in general, but I 
do not know where to look for it. 
 
 I would be very thankful for hints, as I am eager to use my brand new Vision 
M!!! 
 
 Regards

This (and possibly haldaemon) solved my problems with the USB devices. The

The CD part is solved as well.

The line in my fstab gives /dev/cdrom as a device the media kioslave looks for 
hdb.
Changing  the fstab to /dec/hdb solved this.

Hi,

so this is the good part:
User can see it with mtp-detect and mtp-files lists the files on the device.
User can send files using mtp-sendtr

Unfortunately the frontends I installed (gnomad2 and kzenexplorer) and amarok 
say that there is no jukebox on the USB bus.

Amarok hints to run : dcop kded mediamanager fullList 

This returns:

false

Could this be the problem? That the Zen is recongnised as a camera???

You are allowed to build Firefox with branding, you can't distribute any

[gentoo-user] How do you make a gentoo system confirm to a release?

2006-12-19 Thread Christian Nygaard

If you have a Gentoo system with a specific release point for e.g. 2006.0and
you would like to live upgrade it so it confirms to a 2006.1 profile is that
possible?

To be specific I would like if possible to have a live upgrade to stage3 but
with
using i586 compile instead of i686. I could rm -rf /var/db and then reemerge
world, is there
a better way of doing it? I did get a block when doing an emerge world and
the system
is not a production one so some violence can be used. Though I prefer to do
it in the correcter
way if there is a such?

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] X starting in 640x480 only

2006-11-07 Thread Christian Herzyk

Hi,

when I rebooted my PC yesterday my X did not come up (I made an error 
with etc-update after the resent baselayout upgrade and removed the 
DISPLYMANAGER setting). After fixing that my X came up, but only at 
640x480.
During the last days I did not change anything connected to X on my 
system and rebooted it several times without problems. I am running a 
x86 system with Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family 
Graphics Controller and 99% stable packages including Xorg 7.1 (the 
unstable ones are apps, nothing with X).

It ran totally fine until yesterday.
I tried a lot, remerged X and experimented with settings.
I am still not sure what the problem is.

There are some things that strike me:
In the Xorg log I find:

(WW) I810(0): xf86AllocateGARTMemory: allocation of 13409 pages failed

several occurences of that with different page counts
.
And this one:
(II) I810(0): Not using mode 1280x1024 (no mode of this name)
(II) I810(0): Not using mode 1024x768 (no mode of this name)
(II) I810(0): Increasing the scanline pitch to allow tiling mode (640 - 
1024).

(--) I810(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 1024)
(**) I810(0):  Built-in mode 640x480


Any idea what the problem is?


Thanks.

[gentoo-user] alsa-headers dont know what they want...

2006-10-27 Thread Meino Christian Cramer
Hi,

 I do an

   eix-sync  emerge --pretend --tree --verbose --update --deep world

 on a regular basis.

 Each time the alsa-headers are offered for update.

 If alsa-headers 1.0.13 are installed, alsa-headers 1.0.12 are offered
 for update.

 If alsa-headers 1.0.12 are installed, alsa-headers 1.0.13 are offered
 for update.
 
 Seems to be an endless story.

 How can I stop them ?

Hi,

 sorry for being offtopic, but may be one of the members of this list
 also own the same monitor and know the trick... 

 There is a way, which I remember no more, to enter the service mode
 of the on screen menu...it was something like pressing two buttons at
 the same time...or so...but it was not that simple just to try it
 out.

 I tried Google and all Alltheweb.com to search the web and the

 But may be here is one who still knows the trick...

  You don;t need to copy an ebuild to an overlay to re-digest it, you can
  do it with the version i the portage tree. You can even do it when
  emerging, with emerge --digest, but be aware this will redigest all
  packages emerged, including dependencies.
 
  However you do it, think very carefully first. Package digests are a
  security measure, to ensure none of the files you are installing have
  been tampered with. By regdigesting a package, you're discarding this
  check. Before considering this, remove the file(s) from $DISTDIR, sync
  again and try to emerge the package normally.

  Unfortunately it slows down compiling, when compiling each C-file

   I checked the paths inside that file and found that they are correct.
 
 
   But what is the reason for these mass of seems to ne moved

 AFAIR this happens because the files are 'installed' in a temp dir and then 
 copied over into the life system when you emerge something.
 
 That question came up some month ago. You might find a better answer in the 
 archives.

 AFAIR this is harmless, and can be ignored. It is caused, because the files

I searched the archives, I searched via Google...I found just another
thread saying that there is some thread in the past which handles
the problem...but I cannot find the thread.

Instead I found a patch here
http://sources.catmur.co.uk/viewcvs/svn/gentoo/patches/sys-devel/libtool/no-seems-to-be-moved.patch?rev=596view=markup
which seem to try to solce the problem...but also it seems not to be
included in the official gentoo distro.

How can I prevent these tons of seems to be moved messages while
compiling bigger tasks ? They do slowdown the process.
As an example:
I did a revdep-rebuild for:

   net-libs/libsoup-2.2.94
   gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.6.2
   mail-client/evolution-2.6.2-r1
   media-libs/libmp4v2-1.4.1
   media-libs/faad2-2.0-r11 [2.0-r3] USE=(-xmms*)

which results in 9100 messages of the described kind. I think, that
can be avoided ... especially when it is harmless (== superflous) 
warning.

 During compilation of x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6 gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la
 gets created in ${S} (/var/tmp/paludis/x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6/work/gtk+-2.10.6).
 It contains this:

 # grep ^libdir 
 /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libgmodule-2.0.la

 I believe in this case the message simply means that
 '/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..' != '/usr/lib':
 
 # grep -C 1 seems to be moved /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh
 if test $absdir != $libdir; then
 $echo $modename: warning: \`$deplib' seems to be moved 12
 fi
 
    Unfortunately it slows down compiling, when compiling each C-file
    spits a long list of seems to be moved messages onto my
    screen.
 
 Why do you think it's significant?

Because I see, how long it takes to oputput the whole list each time
a C-file gets compiled...

Hi Michael,
 
 ...no, you did nothing wrong...

 ...hunk FAILED... means: The file to be patched is to different
 from that one, from which the original patch was made.

 There is another way:
 As root edit /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh by hand (I did the same):
 In the file search for the string seems to be moved and then
 compare the context of that line with the text of the patch: There is
 one line to be removed and I think four or so to be added. Notging
 too complicate. Make a backup copy of ltmain.sh before. Make a diff
 afterwards and compare the output with the patch.

 If all fails: Mail me privately and we will find a solution.

Subject: [gentoo-user] OT - Mouse going crazy in gnome
Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2006 11:18:58 -0500

 About a week ago, my wife's mouse started going wacko in Gnome.  When
 she tries do do something (I haven't been able to track it down to an
 individual action or sequence), the pointer flies around the screen and
 generates seemingly random mouse movements.  I've looked at
 her /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and everything looks okay to me.  Here it

snip xorg.conf (please see previoud mail of this thread)

   Can anyone help us with this?  I have no idea what to do.  Her mouse and
   my mouse are identical (optical) and our two xorg.conf files are very
   similar.  I have not seen this phenomenon on my PC though.  We are using
   modular X.

  Hi Michael,
  
   if it is the same mouse-effect I recognized as I tried to configure
   my X...
  
   It may be that the auto settings for the protocol fail to detect
   the correct protocol (the wrong protocol was the reason for the wild
   mouse in my case...). 
  
   I cannot determine the kind of mouse (manufacturer, brand,
   interface...) from the output you send with your mail...
  
   My mouse is identified at boot time like this:
  
 input: Logitech N48 as /class/input/input0
 input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Logitech N48] on usb-:00:10.0-2.4
  
   it is an three-button USB-mouse (Logitech).
  
   I configured it in xorg.conf like:
  
   
  Identifier  Mouse1
  Driver  mouse
  Option Protocol  IMPS/2
  Option Device/dev/input/mice
  Option Buttons   5
  Option ZAxisMapping  4 5 
  
  
   HTH
  
   Have a nice weekend!
   mcc
  
 
 I was wrong about her mouse being the same as mine:  Her's is a Mitsumi
 wheel mouse and mine is a Logitech wheel mouse.  Is there a way to view
 the boot up messages without actually rebooting?  Also, I pulled this
 from her dmesg output:
 
 catherine ~ # dmesg | grep 'ouse'
 psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization,
 throwing 3 bytes away.
 psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization,
 throwing 1 bytes away.
 psmouse.c: Wheel Mouse at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost synchronization,
 throwing 3 bytes away.
 

  Seems to be serail mouseso the settings for the protocol are
  (possibly) wrong..

  Feeding Google withxorg mouse protocol serial I found (first hit):

  (cite):
  When you choose, keep in mind the following rule of thumb:

   1. Logitech protocol is for old serial mouse models from Logitech. Modern 
Logitech mice use either MouseMan or Microsoft protocol.
   2. Most 2-button serial mice support the Microsoft protocol.
   3. 3-button serial mice may work with the Mousesystems protocol. If it 
doesn't, it may work instead with the Microsoft protocol although the third 
(middle) button won't function. 3-button serial mice may also work with the 
Mouseman protocol under which the third button may function as expected.
   4. 3-button serial mice may have a small switch at the bottom of the mouse 
to choose between ``MS'' and ``PC'', or ``2'' and ``3''. ``MS'' or ``2'' 
usually mean the Microsoft protocol. ``PC'' or ``3'' will choose the 
MouseSystems protocol.
   5. If the serial mouse has a roller or a wheel, it may be compatible with 
the IntelliMouse protocol.
   6. If the serial mouse has a roller or a wheel and it doesn't work with the 
IntelliMouse protocol, you have to use it as a regular 2- or 3-button serial 
mouse.

[gentoo-user] Blocking package cannot be removed...

Hi,

 I conjunction with

 I got the message, that a package would block another one.

 So I did a

   emerge --pretend --verbose --update --deep world
 
 and it was reported, that

   dev-java/java-config

 is blocking

   dev-java/java-config-wrapper

 . I decided to remove java-config by

   emerge -C java-config

 but it was not found and therefore not removed.

 Deadlock?
 How can I proceed?

Subject: [gentoo-user] {OT} dvdrip permissions error, alternative?
Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2006 09:57:03 -0700

 When I click on RIP Title in dvdrip, I get a permission denied error
 regarding Project.pm.  All of the other options in the other tabs are
 grayed out and unmodifiable.  If I try to run the program as root, it
 says it cannot open the display.  Does anyone know what's wrong here?
 I've tried amd64 and ~amd64 versions.
 
 I'm trying to make backups of my DVDs that are smaller than the full
 8GB but don't lose any noticeable audio or video quality.  I'd be
 happy to just select the audio and video track I want and rip them
 without any transcoding.  Would anyone recommend a program other than
 dvdrip for this?  I would use mplayer's mencode, but mplayer can't
 play my The Life of Mammals DVD so I don't think mencode will work.
 I believe that DVD is copy protected.

Hi Grant,

 Try the following:

 As user (not as root) become root with sux not with su.
 Or as user gove root access permission to your X server with
 xhost (- see manpage).

 I f this does not help:
 sux to root and check the DISPLAY environment variable, whether it
 is correctly set. Should something like  :0.0 or localhost:0.0.

 The above are fixing (may be) the symptoms, not the cause of the
 problem.

 These are comeing from the wrong permissions set for the file
 Project.pm .

 ...but when it is emerged, it should be correctly set.

 At this point I have no clue, whether wrong permissions are given 
 to that file/to those files of package.

 Only my two cents, your currency may vary...

 HTH and keep hacking!

[gentoo-user] ACPI for non-portables (i686/AMD)

2006-10-02 Thread Meino Christian Cramer
Hi,

 For rendering purposes I often start my PC, start the rendering job
 and go to work. 
 For power saving puproses I would like, that my PC recognizes its 
 idle state and go down as far as possible.

 I heard of ACPI and suspend-to-RAM.
 I dont lik eto experiment a lot and finally find out, that it was
 impossible due to the start conditions and I should have known
 better.

 So I would like to know, what preconditions must be fullfilled to get
 that working.

 My system is an up-to-date Gentoo Linux system.

Hi,

 sorry for being off topic, but I think, folks of this list have the
 knowledge to answer my question and I have no idea who to ask else...

 I need to check from within a C-program whether the computer, the
 program is running on (OS: Linux), is connected to the ethernet. The
 program is running under root privilege. Before doing anything else
 with eth0, I want to check the link-LED of the ethernet card...so to
 say.

 I sthere any legal way to do such things under Linux?

 A common way is to use the result of a single ping to known up host,
 in an if/else control block.
 
 -- 
 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
 

The problem is a little different here. In principle ping'ing is a
good way to test the availablity of a net-connection. No doubt!

But in my case I have to avoid *ANY* timeouts (wayting for an answer
or another timeout for example: the timeout of gethostbyname()) if
possible. My program has to react AS FAST AS POSSIBLE on error
conditions. So if I can check the availability of a net-connection
without actually accessing the net and wait for an answer (or an error
condition) it would be the best solution. The fact that I am urged to
use UDP makes things even more difficult. I know that simply
attaching the computer to a switch/hub and removing the net-plug there
makes the link check worthless ... but I want to try every possibility
to find out, whether there is the chance to contact the target
(wrong word...sorry) without trying exactly that (or similiar),
haveing to wait for an answer (or error condition) and paying the
panalty of timeouts then.

If there is any net-programming hyper-guru out there who knows some
special tricks to achieve the shortest possible time of
reaction...here is someone who will thank her/him very much for any
help in advance ! :)

[gentoo-user] xhost +local:root ???

2006-09-16 Thread Meino Christian Cramer
Hi,

 before I 

emerge -e system/world

 my whole system I could allow root to open the X display by typing

xhost +local:root ??? 

 . This seems to not to work any longer.

 When starting ethereal/wireshark I get:

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

 . 

 I searched the gentoo wiki for matches to combinations of 

X11 root xhost

 and such but didnt find anything else than the xhost command as shown
 above.

 Is there any way to allow root to use the X display when a user has
 opened the session and su'ed to root ?

 Thank you very much for any help in advance !

 Kind regards,

 I am able to (for example) open xterm as root by doing:
 sudo xterm -display :0.0
 
 This tells xterm what xserver to run on (0.0 in my case) and also
 works outside of Xorg.
 Hope that helps.

No, unfortunately not. 
Starting wireshark As normal user it works pretty well. 
But then the ethernet-card is not set to promiscous mode...

As root it does not work. And it does not root when startet with 

   sudo wireshark

. Damn!

Any other ideas ? (I checked it with the option as mentioned above and
with the xhost settings.)

[gentoo-user] Compile failures: my system

2006-09-12 Thread Meino Christian Cramer
Hi,

 to not include my system specifications in any of the compile failure
 mails I will summarize it in separate mail:

 RAM: 1GB
 40GB hd space to be used by all compilations processes by gentoo
 CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ (not overclocked)
 gentoo updated daily and regulary
 
 An emerge -e system and emerge -e world after switch to gcc-4.1.1
 was done recently. Used profile is 
 /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop

 Due to the mass of package which do compile without any problems all
 taska described above were successfully done.

 One last package to be checked for compilation is openoffice. This
 will be done in the afternoon. Report will follow.

Hi,

 recently I did a emerge -e system; emerge -e world.

 Apart from some applications, which dont want to compile with
 the new system -- now based on gcc-4.1.1 -- everything works fine.
 
 (Before emergeing I did a full image backup of the old system on
 another harddisk of the same model (dd ...).  )

 But I have no sound anymore...

 I checked for the follwing:
 PC-BIOS: Onboard sound is enabled.
 diffing old and new etc: Inserting alsa devices again with
 /etc/modules.d/alsa
 Volume is up (alsamixer and speakers)
 Speakers have power and ready to play.
 Plug is connected to the correct outlet (weong word?...sorry I am

 There are no ebuild specific default USE flags; it's your system
 (/etc/make.conf and /etc/portage/package.use) that hasn't X as a
 default USE flag (i.e. what you call -X as default, but that
 inversion isn't actually 100% correct). You probably configured it that

Hi Hans-Werner !

 thanks for your reply!

 If I set X by default in /etc/make.conf...what happens to programs,
 which simply doesn't know anything about X ... for example 
 basename (...yes, I know, basename is an builtin in most
 shells...just an example).

 Will make.conf override /usr/portagte/category/progrname/*.ebuild
 ? If so, what happens, if the gentoo developpers have set -X
 intentionally in the *ebuild file and I have set X (globally!) in
 make.conf. 

 Currently I am a little anxious to set X (or unset it or set/unset
 any other USE flag in make.conf due to its global character). 

 On the other side I dont like to compile qt three times for example,
 due of missing USE flags...(initial compilation, openssl was
 missing, opengl was missing).

 (*NO* cristism on the gentoo people intended !!! :)

Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] changing CHOST
Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2006 18:39:07 +0200

Hi,

 I had to change CHOST also and I can only speak of my experience --
 which may be based on the wrong way to do such things, but...

 I did:

 
 Change CHOST
 Update profile (unfortunately to the wrong one, but that's my fault)
 source /etc/profile
 emerge gcc (since I had to upgrade to gcc-4.1.1
 gcc-config
 emerge -e system
 emerge -e world

 last step was interrupted several times either do to compiling
 failures or to package, whch wants other previous installed packages
 to be recompiled with other USE-flags.

 The overall result is a running system with some packages either
 installed not with all features compiled due to other packages
 missing due to compile failures or missing completly.

 This may or may be not based on the wrong profile I choose initially.
 I will chnage to the correct profile and recompile all affected
 package and will see, how far I can get then.

 The described procedure takes me four days with interuptions. The

 Hi,
 
 I had to change CHOST during gcc upgrade.
 I did bootstrap.sh
 I did emerge -e system
 emerge -e world didn't work.
 
 I struggled more than one week to make it work, now I'm reinstalling from
 scratch.
 
 My advise:
 Backup all important data and excpect the fact that you could lost your
 system.

   Hmm, same answer I gave you yesterday:
  
   change CHOST in make.conf
   /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh
   emerge -e system
   emerge -e world

  There are no ebuild specific default USE flags; it's your system
  (/etc/make.conf and /etc/portage/package.use) that hasn't X as a
  default USE flag (i.e. what you call -X as default, but that
  inversion isn't actually 100% correct). You probably configured it that
  way.
 
 Since the 2006.1 profile only the 2006.1/desktop has the X USE flag activated 
 as a default setting.  The server comes without it.  So, either you have not 
 yet migrated to the new 2006.1/desktop profile, or you have set up your 
 machine as a server.

Hi Mick,

 you won 100 points ! :)

 Yes, true, I set it up as server

 Is the following scheme sufficient to migrate to an desktop system:
 ?

 Change profile und /etc to 2006.1/desktop
 emerge -vN world
 
 Thank you very much for your help in advance !
