OK, I will do this, go to the next version of nextcloud which I need to do anyway and see if that will fix things up. I still wonder why I need to emerge the whole world file, but I will see what happens. Thanks everyone. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

[gentoo-user] some problems moving to 23.0 profile
Hi. Well, I followed the steps in the news item, to move todefault/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome/systemd and it all worked till it wants me to emerge the whole world file. Here is what I get: emerge --ask --emptytree @world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies done! Dependency resolution took 4.58 s (backtrack: 0/200). !!! Problems have been detected with your world file !!! Please run emaint --check world !!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all !!! masked or don't exist: www-apps/nextcloud:26.0.10 emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:6.1.69". (dependency required by "@kernels" [set]) (dependency required by "@selected" [set]) (dependency required by "@world" [argument]) I don't want to unmerge that kernel -- its my backup kernel, so I definitely want to keep it. I am using the nextcloud they are complaining about , I will upgrade it soon, but I want to keep it for now. So, should I just not do the whole world file at all -- do I really need to do that, or wait till I upgrade nextcloud and till I am no longer using that kernel and then do it?

[gentoo-user] profile is not depricated -- how to switch correctly
I got a message on my world update that said my profile which is /var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd/ is depricated and no longer supported. So, afterr this update is finished, which one should I switch to -- portage says to use default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd/merged-usr but in looking through the list I see one that says default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome/systemd (exp) which doesn't say merged-usr, so what would be the advantages of either choice here?

[gentoo-user] problem installing a package that uses meson instead of the regular autotools system
Hi there. I am trying to use gentoo to install an updated version of
orca which is a screen reader for linux. They have switched overr to
using meson build system. So, I have done this so far:
src_prepare() {
mkdir _build
default
}
src_configure() {
meson setup -D prefix=/usr _build
meson compile -C _build
}
src_install() {
meson install -C _build
}
Now what I have run into is the install wants to access things which
only root can access and so perrmission is denied. Most other builds
install into an image directory, should I change the prefix to image
and will then the ebuild automatically install to the right place, or
is there something else I should be doing?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Are you sure you have enabled, unmuted, the controls in all the places that control it? I recall my first install. I think I had to unmute the sound in three places before I had sound. I seem to recall at least these possibilities in more recent memory. Kmix if using KDE, ALSA, possibly pipewire which is kinda new and I'm not sure what desktops use or don't use it. You could have pulseaudio as well. Jack I think is another one but never used it so not sure. Of course, there could be others as well. The bad thing is, it only takes one to disable the sound. The upgrade could have triggered something. Also, make sure you run the tool to update config changes, just in case it has something waiting and is needed. That may or may not help but thought it worth a mention. Just in case.;-) Thanks for the quick response. Everything is unmuted, verified with amixerr and even alsamixer. This is just in a virtual console, no gui involved.

Thanks a lot for everyone's response, but its a puzzle to me.
So, I looked at that bug, but could not find any resolution. Also, I
don't have any pkgconfig other than dev-perl/ExtUtils-PkgConfig
1.160.0-r1 and a virtual for the same 2-r1 . So, I am puzzled.

I have installed gentoo several times, using the gentoo iso, not the live distribution. I get all the way through, update the system and then worry about orca later, depending on what gui I want to install -- I have installed orca from master and used gnome as my gui. The regular gentoo iso has the speakup modules enabled in the kernel, so this should not be too bad. What helps greatly is a hardware speech synthesizer, for software speech you might have to install something like espeakup, I have not done things that way, so experimentation would be necessary.

So, since I could get nothing out of the net console (it kept saying that the device was not found) and my null modem connection between the computer and another box only seemed to work from the box to the computer with the problem but not the other way, I am trying to set up to get a crash dump.

I found actual messages from netconsole and it seems no matter what device I put for the source, netconsole says it doesn't exist. I tried my eno1, and also eth0 and eth1.

hmmm, but what should I use for the source ip, I only assign those
when I bring the interface up when I start the interface -- I have
something like this:
[Unit]
Description=Network Connectivity for %i
Documentation=man:ip
Before=network.target
Wants=network.target
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/network@%i
ExecStart=/bin/ip link set dev %i up
ExecStart=/bin/ip addr add ${address}/${netmask} broadcast ${broadcast} dev %i
ExecStart=-/bin/bash -c "test -n ${gateway} && /bin/ip route add default via
${gateway}"
ExecStart=-/bin/bash -c "test -f /etc/conf.d/postup@%i.sh&&/bin/bash -c
/etc/conf.d/postup@%i.sh"
ExecStop=/bin/ip addr flush dev %i
ExecStop=/bin/ip link set dev %i down
ExecStop=-/bin/bash -c "test -f /etc/conf.d/postdown@%i.sh&&/bin/bash -c
/etc/conf.d/postdown@%i.sh"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
and the /etc/conf.d/network@eno1 is
address=192.168.0.1
netmask=24
broadcast=192.168.0.255
So, before I run this, I don't think the card has any ip address, does
it?

[gentoo-user] problem with emerge depclean after world update
Hi. So, when I tried to do my emerge depclean after my world update, which went through with no problems, I get the following message: Calculating dependencies... done! * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to * the following required packages not being installed: * * >=app-text/poppler-0.16.0:0/123=[cairo] pulled in by: * app-misc/tracker-miners-3.4.0 But I have: ebuild R] app-text/poppler-22.09.0:0/124::gentoo USE="cairo cxx introspection jpeg jpeg2k lcms png qt5 tiff utils -boost -cjk -curl -debug -doc -nss -verify-sig" and ebuild R] app-misc/tracker-miners-3.4.0:3::gentoo USE="exif gif gstreamer iso jpeg networkmanager pdf playlist rss (seccomp) tiff upower xml -cue -ffmpeg -gsf -iptc -raw -test -xmp -xps" So, what have I done wrong this time -- or is it some kind of bug somewhere?

[gentoo-user] how to fix error with lpass ebuild

You do a scrub at short intervals and at least you would know if the file is corrupted.

I have been using restic for a while, and although it does not do compression, there are a couple of nice things it does -- if a file is in more than one location, or if you rename the file, its smart enough not to backup any data at all, just the metadata. Also, you never have to delete the whole backup and start over like you have to do with duplicity, you can just delete backups older than a certain number of days and you are good to go. Its in go, so building can be a pain and I don't like programs which download gobs of stuff from the internet to build, but it seems to work quite well. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] A couple of problems with systemd
Hi. Lately I am having a couple of problems with systemd. I am using version 250.5-r1. I have one service which always times out, but slows down the boot process. It is /lib/systemd/system/systemd-networkd-wait-online.service. Because many jobs wait in queue for a while, till this fails. Also, I have a couple of services, ntpdate and proftpd which always fail because when they try to execute named has not started yet. I can restart them once the system is fully booted and I can login. So, I wonder if this is all related to the failing service, or are they separate problems that I can fix? And can you suggest how to fix the two service which seem to start too soon? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

So, I restored all the files, I could like sendmail.mc and the Sendmail.conf, but no joy, still no authentication mechanisms. I restored them to about first of April.

[gentoo-user] problem with saslauthd
Hi. I have been using various clients to connect to my sendmail server using port 587 and using starttls to encrypt the connections and then using the plain mechanism to send the user name and password to authenticate. Last day or so this has stopped working -- I don't know that I changed anything (famous last words), but I do see the following if I run saslauthd -v saslauthd 2.1.28 authentication mechanisms: sasldb getpwent pam rimap shadow but I have in my Sendmail.conf file in /usr/lib64/sasl2 pwcheck_method: saslauthd allowanonymouslogin: 0 allowplaintext: 1 mech_list: EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN log_level: 3 # and this seems to be why if I run sendmail at a high enough loglevel I get the message saying authwarning: no mechanisms. So, after all that, anyone have an idea as to how to fix? Thanks. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com

These configurations are in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf as to which is the default sound card and its parameters. The name might not be alsa.conf, but you would have to unload the module and reload, that is why you had to do a reboot. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

Speakup works in most recent kernels, 5.10.x and it is now in the mainstream kernel, but I forget what release it got in there. There are two types of synthesizers, hardware and software. Most people use software synthesizers these days, I still use a hardware synthesizer. You might need the espeakup package to make it work, or speechdup and speech-dispatcher.

[gentoo-user] problem emerging virt-manager 4.0.0
Hi. In today's world update, I get the following strange output when trying to emerge virt-manager. I am not even sure what this means. >>> Configuring source in >>> /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0/work/virt-manager-4.0.0 >>> ... python3.9 setup.py configure --default-graphics=spice error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['po', 'ui', 'man', 'data', 'virtinst', 'virtManager']. To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories, setuptools will not proceed with this build. If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery. Instead, consider the following options: 1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`) 2. use a `src-layout` 3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs. * ERROR: app-emulation/virt-manager-4.0.0::gentoo failed (configure phase): * (no error message) Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny.
