[gentoo-user] Cannot compile poetry

[Hung Dang]

Hi,

I have not updated my system for a while. And my emerge command failed with
these errors. How do I fix the poetry's build failures?

Thanks,
Hung

Re: [gentoo-user] Please help with `C compiler cannot create executables'

[Hung Dang]

There are typos/errors in the configure script. From your error log I can
see that -V and -qversion are passed into gcc instead of -v and  --version.

Thank a lot Mike. My problem is resolved after removing bindist use flag.

[gentoo-user] Cannot emerge gnome because openssl's bindist use flag

[Hung Dang]

I cannot emerge gnome in a fresh build ~amd64 system. Basically, if I 
enable bindist use flag for openssl then emerge will ask me to disable 
it. However, if I disable bindist flag for openssl then it will ask me 
to enable it. How can I break this dependency loop?


Thanks,

Re: [gentoo-user] Cmake problem - please help

[Hung Dang]

Below are approaches that I would suggest if you want to go for the local
solution:

1. Use brewlinux to install mumps. I assume brew will pull all required
dependencies. This approach works well for me in different servers.

2. Compile mumps and it dependencies locally. You need to play around with
cmake or ccmake path setup so that mumps can use locally installed
libraries. This solution allow you to try new compilers and libraries,
however, you will have to maintain your build scripts. I have not tried
mumps before so I cannot give you detail information.

[Hung Dang]

Is this possible to install your packages locally in your home folder? This
approach works better if you have to work on different machines.

Hi,

I could not update my system because of "Could not link test program to

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel-3.4.4 No USB Keyboard

Is anyone having problems with the latest kernel-3.4.4?

After configuring with the same .config file that I used for 3.4.0,
the new 3.4.4 kernel boots but it cannot read the USB keyboard.
Presumably the USB mouse is also affected.

Here are, I believe, the relevant lines from the kernel log for
the working 3.4.0:

For comparison, the corresponding lines from the 3.4.4 log are:

usb 1-1: device not accepting address 4, error -110
usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
usb 1-1: device not accepting address 5, error -110


As I mentioned, the configuration has not changed since 3.4.0.
Unless I am missing some new parameter somewhere the kernel-3.4.4
must be broken.

The only related report that I could find is here:

Can anyone confirm or refute this?

Have you rebuilt your x11-drivers? If you haven't please try this 
command emerge `qlist -I -C x11-drivers` then restart X.


Hope this help

I spent an entire frustrating day discovering that the reason I
have no sound is that every app wants to use /dev/mixer when only
/dev/mixer1 actually works :(

Only some apps (like audacious) will let me choose which mixer to
use, and those apps work perfectly.

Anyone else seen this before, I hope?  Got a fix?

Thanks :)
I guess the second audio device is either HDMI or HD audio generic. You 
could verify this by opening alsamixer then select F6 to see a list of 
audio devices. If you use pulseaudio then you can select the default 
output device. Or use /etc/asound.conf to select your preferred default 
device.

Re: [gentoo-user] Keyboard stopped working

[Hung Dang]

You might need to remerge xorg11 driver. Try below command then reboot X 
to see if it fix your problem


emerge `qlist -I -C x11-drivers/`

Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone get Acer laptop internal microphone working in Gentoo?

I guest you may need to play around with the mixer (KDE,GNOME) or
alsamixer to enable internal microphone. I have to enable
recording/capture in GNOME volume applet to make the internal microphone
worked on my D630.

Hope this help,

You can try to modify the default font in /etc/conf.d/consolefont and

 You didn't unmask/keyword anything, so you are getting the window manager
 in portage, which is e16.

 To get e17 you need to get it from an overlay. The only overlay that
 actually works right now is

 http://svn.enlightenment.org/svn/e/trunk/packaging/gentoo

 vapier's overlay was out of date, is now being updated and is in a state of
 flux, i.e. constantly breaking and changing.

 I've never heard of the overlay on the gentoo-wiki page.

 To use the e17 window manager you *must* install the - efl libs from
 svn. The e17 ebuild does not cater for the -beta2 versions.
 I'm not sure that efl overlay is still required to run E17.  I just today 
 moved from efl to the enlightenment overlay (Vapier's).  I had to keyword all 
 necessary E17 packages as - ** to be able to install stuff, or the E16 
 packages were being drawn in.  The enlightenment overlay seems to be a couple 
 of months behind efl judging by the bugs that I thought were already resolved.

 Some packages (e.g. epdf) will not build because dependencies are missing and 
 what not, but the following packages were able to emerge without problems and

[gentoo-user] Bluetooth problem

 Hi all,

I have Logitech Dinovo Edge and it works fine before. I update my system

Manager in GNOME I receive this message Bluez daemon is not running,
blueman-manager cannot continue.. I am using Bluez-4.7.1 and Linux
kernel 2.34 and 2.35. I also check the output of the lsmod command and
modules bnep, hcid and sco are not loaded when bluetooth service start.
Plus I get no device when scanning for devices using hcitool scan and
the utility hid2hci is not in the system path.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance

 The first thing that jumps to my mind is you have an older initrd that
 has your HD drivers in it (such as ATA), but the newer kernel you've
 probably just built (is that what you mean by a bit of an update?)
 doesn't.

 Check for an initrd, and tell us what a bit of an update means :)  You
 could also compare config files between your rescue CD and your system,
 if you can find it!

 HTH,
   
You could see your HDD because the boot CD have enabled all drivers.
Could you double check if you have configured the kernel for your HDD
correctly?

Re: [gentoo-user] changing nvidia settings dynamically

[Hung Dang]

I configure xorg.conf for the laptop screen only and use nvidia-setting to
setup twinview mode for the external screen (it does not require to restart
X). It works fine so far.

Hope this help

 Hi all,

 For a long time I've been using nvidia's twinview for two 1920x1200
 displays (laptop and external LCD).

 Whenever I dock / undock I have to run nvidia-settings to change the
 resolution from the virtual 3840x1200 to 1920x1200 or vice versa.  Also
 since two screens is the Default I have to do this when I log in with
 only the laptop.

 I am looking for a way to use the command line nvidia-settings (as much
 as I've studied the help I can't find out how to do it - all attributes
 seem read-only to the command line nvidia-settings)

 Then I can call nvidia-settings --some-options on a dock / undock event.

 Alternatively, I read in the nvidia-drivers README that you can use
 metamodes and then use the FN-F8 (CRT/LCD switch key) to switch between
 them.  However, when I use metamodes I always get a 3840 wide screen,
 and I can scroll left and right to the unseen space.

 These are the metamodes I've tried:
 1. The two-screen only metamode:
Option metamodes DFP-0: 1920x1200 +1920+0, DFP-2: 1920x1200
 +0+0
 2. attempt to use a 1920 metamode as well:
Option metamodes DFP-0: 1920x1200; DFP-0: 1920x1200 +1920+0,
 DFP-2: 1920x1200 +0+0
 3. attempt 2:
Option metamodes DFP-0: 1920x1200 +1920+0, DFP-2: 1920x1200
 +0+0; DFP-0: 1920x1200 +0+0,

 Here's my screen section (all other sections are basic):
 Section Screen

Option TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder DFP-2
Option metamodes DFP-0: 1920x1200 +1920+0, DFP-2: 1920x1200

 Has anyone done a dynamic mode change with nvidia xinerama?

Re: [gentoo-user] How to determine if a NIC is playing gigabit?

[Hung Dang]

One more thing. The file transfer speed is
min(max(HDD),max(NIC),max(others)) so it will depend on your HDD, your
network and other reasons. I find out that using sftp command seem to be
faster than NFS or Samba. Could you try sftp and check if it is faster
or not? Then check the dmesg as well as network cables to see if there
is any problem.

 Hi there,

 Yesterday I reseated the network cable between my server cupboard and my
 desk, and it now lights up on the switch by my desk as gigabit. But a
 file-transfer today is slower than I might have hoped.

 I'm not ruling out the cable, because it's pretty beat up (but the switch
 *is* lighting up as 1000), but how do I determine, please, that the Linux
 server at the other end is recognising the NIC and negotiating as gigabit
 speeds?

 The hard-drives on the server are using an older PCI SATA card, and the NIC
 is also PCI. But I would have expected it to be a bit faster than 100Mbps.

 Any estimates over what kind of speed I should be seeing for large
 file-transfers over Samba? Wildly ball-park is fine - I wouldn't expect a
 10x speed increase, but maybe 2x or 3x - 4x would be great!

 I'll be testing between my Macs (both on the desktop switch, ruling out both
 the Linux box and the suspicious cable) later today, I'd just like some
 ideas of where I should be starting from.

 Right now I'm seeing 10 gigs of .mp4 files (1gb - 2gb per video file) taking
 about an hour - that's about what I'd expect from old 100Mbps networking,
 not this shiny new stuff.

 I'm not seeing any difference commenting  uncommenting aio read size = 1,
 aio write size = 1 (separate lines) from /etc/samba/smb.conf and then
 running `/etc/init.d/samba reload`, but maybe I shouldn't expect that to
 make any difference on an existing transfer. I just don't want to interfere
 with this right now - I just want to copy as much as possible on to my
 laptop before I go out, and I'll take a look at this performance issue when
 I get home.

 Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers,

 Stroller.



 
 In all likelihood, its your hard disk slowing down the network
 transfer, and not the cabling.  Generally speaking, if the hardware
 says gigabit, than you've got gigabit.

 writes are really slow, between 500-900kb/sec depending on if I mount
 in sync mode or not. As far as I know it should be just a totally
 standard/generic mass storage device. (there were no drivers or
 software install needed in windows, it just worked)

 Other USB devices plugged into the same port go full speed, and AFAIK
 everything appears as if it should be high speed USB 2.0. Has anyone
 seen something like this before? I'm not sure what the deal is. It
 takes 20 minutes to copy 1 gigabyte from Linux and takes just under 1
 minute to do the same in Windows.

 I'm not sure about debugging USB or what the options are. Everything
 I've used previously has worked without any hassle.

I have never tried P55 before, however, I have no problem with P35, P45,

When using make menuconfig you need to configure network interface,
SATA, and IDE drivers correctly for the hardware specifications obtained
from lspci command.

[gentoo-user] Icon loading problem after updating for GNOME based application

[Hung Dang]

Hi all,
After updating my system I find out that some gnome based applications
have problem with png images. For example, I got this message when
trying to open stadict
Can not load image. Couldn't recognize the image file format for file
'/usr/share/pixmaps/stardict.png' and this problem happened to at least
two of my machines.
Does anyone know what is going on with my system? I use KDE 4.3.2 then
only gtk USE flag is enabled on my box. Please see the output of emerge
--info in the attached file for more information.

Thanks a lot
Hung

 # update-mime-database /usr/share/mime-info
 

 This doesn't exist here.

   
 # update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
 

 This is done by the ebuild, you need to do it for /usr/local/share/mime
 and it should be done as root.

   
 % update-mime-database ~/.config/mime
 

 This should be ~/.local/share/mime/ and needs to be run by each user.

 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288312 contains the details, and
 the elog from emerging shared-mime-info also covers the details now,
 although it didn't when the current version was first added to portage.

 Hi Walt,
 This is a AMD64 system. The interesting thing is I have another system
 which has similar USE flags and it does not have those header files ,
 however, I can compile this version of dhcpcd without any problem.

 If this is an AMD64 system, then something has gone totally haywire;
 the errors you posted indicate that dhcpcd thinks it's being compiled
 on BSD.  if-bsd.c is a source file that does not get compiled on
 Linux; if-linux.c does.

 Can you post your emerge --info?  Maybe someone can spot something
 wrong in it.


Walt: Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Please find the output of emerge --info in the attached file. Again, my
system only has problem with dhcpcd 5.1.* and it can compile dhcpcd
5.0.6 without any problem.

Thanks

Hi guys,

until now I've been quite a KDE4 hater, but I'm willing to give it a try from

happens when I open Konsole, the next often occasion is opening a menu (main 
menu, context menu, you name it), but also only after a Konsole windows was 
opened. All I see is a quick error message about glibc, then X restarts and 
I'm back at kdm.


I use a laptop with a Geforce 7600 GPU, running on nvidia-drivers-180.60.
First I had 4.3.0 installed from main portage tree, but I had a faint
hope they would have fixed it by now, so I installed the live slot from
kde-testing. I already had this issue with older version.

Could anyone shed some light on this, please? One thing I can think of is to
disable 3D effects, but they're working quite well and it's the same with 
*cough* Vista - they are the main reason for switching over from a previous

version.

TIA
  
I had a similar problem on my laptop last time but I do not remember if 
it is a glibc problem or not. And my problem had gone after I rebuild 
the whole system using emerge -aeNv world.

 ok, there is nothing in Xorg.0.log and your xorg.conf is ok too.

 You can either check kdm.log now - or start checking permissions for /tmp

 Try using smartctl (sys-apps/smartmontools), it can usually show at
 once that there's something wrong with the drive (-H flag). And if it
 doesn't, you can use it to perform SMART-tests (-t flag) to make sure
 that drive is ok.

/etc/init.d/xdm start  sleep 5m  /etc/init.d/xdm stop

I'm thinking this way.  Start X first.  If it fails, it will stop in 5

 Most likely is that the commands necessary to activate the LVM at boot time 
 are not being run. Test this theory by running as root:

 vgchange -a y
 and mount the device.

 If it then works, check the usual things, like /etc/init.d/lvm is in your 
 boot 
 runlevel

 Also check dmesg for obvious errors.

During installation before chrooting I copied resolv.conf

But after I first booted freshly installed system, I found out
that /etc/resolv.conf is empty, just saying something like:

Nothing else. So I edited this file, included nameservers, and
again, after booting it is empty. I went through handbook once

Did I do something wrong during installation???

Jarry: You got the empty /etc/resolve.conf because dhcpcd overwrite this

 dhcpcd does this.  Are you running dhcp on the machine?

You are correct. Every time I reboot my machine dhcpcd override

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: kernel config hell

Leave all options you are not sure as default, using lspci to find out

From my experiences I will make sure that the kernel is bootable first
then adapt it to hardware later. Use modules or not is your choice, both
ways work fine.

If you want to make sure that thing is stable, you can back up your old
config later then have a bunch of test kernels to test. The help from
kernel config interface does help you to get a general idea about what
is the purpose of the option.

Not everyone can get the kernel work for the first try, do not panic.
Once you get through the first time, thing will go more smoothly than
you thought. It happened to me one year before but now it take me about
less than 10 minutes to have the new kernel configured in my computer.

Good luck,
