[gentoo-user] Cleaning the SSD
Just about to install gentoo on a used SSD (Samsung SSD 840 120G). How to proceed to get a clean, like new SSD ? Could the --security-erase or --security-erase-enhanced hdparm options do the job or should I use something more sophisticated (or more efficient) ?

I do have keymap set to fr-latin9. It works for the Desktopk, not for kdm !! To Frank Steinmetzger : I used to set the keymap in xorg, there's no more a xorg file in my setup. Too bad!

[gentoo-user] kdm keymap
I use hal. No more xorg.conf. Since I updated kdm to v.4.4.5 it use a QWERTY keymap, when it worked OK in previous 4.4.* version after modifying /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi. I try adding the following 2 lines also in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi, just in case : merge key=input.xkb.optionstype=stringterminate:ctrl_alt_bksp/merge merge key=input.xkb.layout type=stringfr/merge Of course I also checked french as language in the kdl config panel. Obviously, entering a password using an AZERTY keyboard a QWERTY keymap is not that easy. What can I do ? Couldn't find anything in the doc. And a happy Xmas to you all.
Re: [gentoo-user] Can't update dev-lib/nss
Selon Dale rdalek1...@gmail.com: I would try it with sandbox disabled. FEATURES=-*sandbox* your emerge command here It may work. Certainly worth a shot I guess. Bingo! For some reason, FEATURES=-*sandbox* emerge nss did'nt work (sandbox still used) when replacing FEATURE=...usersandbox by -sandbox launching emerge -u nss worked.

Perhaps these apps are running as another user. No, all were launched by the same user. An easy check (not safe for long term use) is to open a terminal (assuming you can) and type xhost + which permits any process to write on the screen. Doesn't work, too bad: isba ~ # xhost + No protocol specified No protocol specified xhost: unable to open display :0 Thanks for the tip, anyway.

I don't use ATI but I think I read here a while back that ATI drivers
have to be compatible with certain versions of xorg. You may want to
see if you can use a newer version of the ATI drivers.
You can look at the ebuild to see what exact versions. From what i
read, it looks like you may need the 10 series instead of the 9 series.
Then again, it is sometimes backwards from what I am thinking. May be
worth testing anyway.
emerging ~amd64 drivers (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-10-4) did the job.

Re: [gentoo-user] portage foomatic problem: SOLVED
Selon Alan McKinnon [EMAIL PROTECTED]: snip That version of foomatic is no longer in portage but you have it installed and it DEPENDS on something that is also not in portage. Apparently, you ran emerge --sync then this happened. It does happen sometimes. So: emerge foomatic first, then foomatic-db-ppds to get the latest that is in portage. That might not work due to DEPENDs order, in which case you must unmerge all foomatic packages and remerge them from scratch. This is a bit drastic with updates and blockers and isn't normally necessary. But sometimes it is, this looks like one of those times. Finally, emerge --unmerge foomatic worked, removing no file but removing foomatic from /var/lib/portage world. Updated foomatic-* packages are still there. Thanks for the help, I was lost as I didn't realize that emerge was trying to update a meta-package (foomatic) no more in portage... Thanks, -- ~adj~ -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] portage foomatic problem
isba alain # emerge -uD world
returns the following:
Calculating world dependencies /
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:
net-print/foomatic-db-ppds:0
('installed', '/', 'net-print/foomatic-db-ppds-20060720', 'nomerge') pulled in

by
('installed', '/', 'net-print/cups-1.2.12-r8', 'nomerge')
It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! Depgraph creation failed.
What should I do? May I get rid of foomatic package without gettindg into
trouble with cups?
I guess I have to fill a bug report...

[gentoo-user] Index the doc
fter being a user (for at least a year each) of Redhat, Suse, Debian I finally went to Gentoo and intend to stick to it. What I like most: - I had to reinstall only once, when I changed my computer. That's great ! Experience has taught me that, should a new version be issued, the safer and least time consuming way to keep up with other linux is to reinstall. Not on Gentoo! - the other great feature is the abundant, detailed and practical documentation. You're never left on your own. Which is where a problem lies: the doc being so big, most of the time, the best way to find what you're looking for is to ask for a pointer on this list. It sure works, but I think it's about time to launch a documentation indexing project, to make a search entry available on the main doc page of gentoo.org. What do you think folks? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
