 What package owns it?

It's part of the portage tree, not any packages.

How about `java-check-environment`, does it report as sane?

You might try reselecting java again: `eselect java-vm system 2` (for
sun-jdk or whatever your choice is from `eselect java-vm list`)

I don't think you need to use java-config directly anymore but I'm not
sure. Eselect should create the symlinks for you.

Or my lack of coffee might be showing.

qlist -I (from portage-utils) or eix -I --only-names will give you a
list of everything installed.

Although if you straight installed everything from such a list it would
probably pollute the new machines world file somewhat, but it would be
a good catch anything I missed.

Re: [gentoo-user] URGENT: Dead Keyboard after emerge --update world --deep

2009-10-06 Thread Kenneth Prugh
 Two questions:
 - Since Xorg is in the default runlevel, how can I boot into gentoo
 without starting X (boot prompt option)?

Ever notice the press I for interactive mode during init? That's how
you can stop it from launching X.

 - How can I recreate functional modules for mouse and kbd?

emerge -av $(eix -IC x11-drivers --only-names) or emerge -av $(qlist -I
x11-drivers) will rebuild all the modules.

 I've had some trouble in the past with cfg-update although it sure

 Investigating I discover there is a Baselayout and OpenRC Migration

  It is critical that you run dispatch-conf and ensure your /etc

 perform the steps below to repair your system.
 
 So, my question is how can I recover and make sure any new config

Assuming you rebooted, you need to do what it says. Boot a livecd and
chroot in, then follow the guide I'd imagine.

(If your rc.conf is totally wack, remerging openrc should
fix it [and possibly moving your current rc.conf to rc.conf.old or
similar if it's not working])

Portage will not attempt to update a package that is listed here unless

So in short usually no, it's meant to replace the --inject behavior.

 To the OP, it is possible that the Firefox archive was updated and you
 still have an older one in $DISTDIR. Try deleting your copy and
 emerging again. You could also try using a different mirror.
 
 

yawn, and if the download was invalid it would most likely fail to
untar or something similar. I fail to see the point. Either way, he can
delete it in distfiles and just remerge/remanifest so it grabs it off
the mirrors.

I also remember why I hate this mailing list and usually just mark all

 Most people could leave this lake it is and never think about what

I suppose if gcc 4.2 ever goes stable it could... Or if you
tell people to keyword gcc right away to 4.2 and emerge it, change the

 The reason I'm asking it in this list is because I have the exact same

 I tried reinstalling my Gentoo box, but same problem happens. Tried to
 switch video card also (onboard geforce to an external riva - both

 Firefox 2 opens sites normally, so I don't think this is a X or font

 sometimes it appears. It's very very weird.
 So.. if someone is able to run Minefield (and open slashdot), could
 you please just tell me what's your box configuration?
 
 Thanks
 

I run Minefield here flawlessly from the Mozilla overlay 
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-556225.html . Are you using the
exact same cvs snapshot on both boxes? In either case, if your not using
that overlay I definitely recommend you do. I've had no problems.

From about a month back, it started with these font problems. What
 video card and driver are you using?
 Thanks!!
 

I'm using Minefield with a NVIDIA 7950GTO with
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.11 on this machine.

I also have Minefield working (although its slow) on an old powerbook
with a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700. I'm not sure of the driver, I believe
it's X11's included radeon driver.

 Why's that?

 because several gcc have compiled crap with that flag in the past?
 
 

That was the past, -Os generally works fine on AMD64 now. That can be
evidenced by my fully -Os built system that works fine.

 Second, that 'feature' means that gcc looks at your CHOST and use that for

 So no, don't change anything at all. march=nocona is fine. Don't touch it.

That's completely wrong. If you look at the old patch [1] that fixed
mtune for the Core2's you'd see it is MUCH more complicated than that.

 I have a Core2 Duo E6600 and use these CFLAGS with GCC 4.2:

 CFLAGS=-Os -march=native -mtune=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mmmx
 -msse2 -msse3

 Native works fine here.
 
 I don't think that you need -msse3 -msse2 and -mmmx because -march takes care 
 of that (refer to man gcc, one notable exeption: -march=athlon64 does not 
 pull -msse3 in because not all Athlons support it). 
 -fomit-frame-pointer is unneccessary on AMD64 (refer to man gcc, again).

Yeah I wasn't exactly positive if it did pull everything in, and
specifying specifically can't really hurt at all as long as you know
it's supported with your cpu.

 Kenneth, thanks! I'll try your flags-string. I hope, there aren't any
 resons to rebuld anything else after switching form 4.1.2 with curennt
 flags to 4.2.0 with youe flags. Is it true?

Personally I rebuilt everything on my system because I wanted everything
to be compiled under my shiny new toolchain. I accomplished it via this:

# emerge -eav system
# emerge -eav world

However, I don't believe you _have_ to rebuild. GCC 4.1 and 4.2 should
be binary compatible. I know that my GCC 4.1 LibTorrent works fine with
a GCC 4.2 built rtorrent, so I would like to say it should work fine.

 You, of course, remembered to change your default compiler with

Yep. I've also seen that with march/mtune set to native, GCC 4.1.2 fails
to compile anything (here at least), so it's a bit hard to make that
mistake.
