to rule out the video-stack, I'd try gnome in fallback-mode. If it works, 
chances are your problem is video-related. If it still crashes, the problem is 
elsewhere.
Is there something in dmesg related to the gnome-shell segfaults?

At it's core NM is just a daemon.  The gnome/kde stuff are just
front-ends that talk to the daemon via dbus when need-be.  So likely it
appears faster when you boot because the NetworkManager service is
already started and connecting to your AP before you even see X come up.
When you resume, all that other machinery is already up, so you are
waiting on the card and the AP to associate.

  Personally, if it's only 30 seconds I wouldn't worry about it.  It
  takes me at least that long to remember why I needed to turn on the
  computer anyway :P
 
 It's just a bit as nnoying. I remember this or that, or want to quickly
 research something ... take the thinkpad and then -wait- ... but as I
 mentioned, I just want to check how others experience this.
 
I personally haven't experienced the problem, but even if I did, I
wouldn't think that gnome/nm/suspend would be the fault.

Question: have you tried associateting with the AP manually?  How long
does that take?  Have you tried associating with other APs?

  For sg, I made a screencast of me suspending and resuming my
  ThinkPad. The entire video is only 34 seconds (oddly, it doesn't
  recored while it's suspended :P) and as you can see I'm connected to
  the AP as soon as the screen unlocks.

Should not take too long unless you have a very slow connection... it's
a 306K file (took me less than 1 second to wget).  It's uses the H.264

[gentoo-user] Notes for GNOME3 users who miss a desktop pager.

[G.Wolfe Woodbury]

I've migrated my desktop to GNOME3, and miss a log of functionality.
Among the most annoying missing parts for me is a non-dynamic set of
virtual desktops and a pager applet to go with it.

I have found that the x11-misc/ipager app to be a useful replacement
along with gnome-tweak-tool.

The gnome-tweak-tool allows setting non-dynamic desktops, (Shell |
Dynamic workspaces - Off, set the count of desktops you want.)

The ipager app can then be emerged and configured.  Here is my
ipager.conf file:
---

#
mouse.scroll.up: nextWorkspace

#
# Delta (in pixels)
#
# when an workspace icon changes its size
# IPager compare new values and previous.
# If they differ less then 'zoom.recreate_icon_delta' then
# IPager continues to use an old icon and just zoom it.
# If the sizes differ more 'zoom.recreate_icon_delta's value,
# then IPager creates a new icon picture.
# it is not very efficient to create icons often.
#
zoom.recreate_icon_delta: 0

# Defines style of zooming icons. Should an icon spacing be expandig or

This puts a static pager bar in the bottom-right of my desktop with
a cool blue feel.  This spot is below where I stash the GKrellM panel.

It is not the most convenient configuration file, but it also has not
been worked on since Sep 2008.

You can also add ipager to the gnome-session-properties set.
The program live in /usr/bin/ipager
use -c /home/user/wherever you want/ipager.conf with the program.

 with xdm.service I am able to start gnome.

 Do I have to take special care of polkit/consolekit/pam/whatever?

Yes, we had a long thread about that some months ago, around November.
Basically, there is lots of stuff that break if you mix up consolekit
and systemd (logind, actually). Maybe the situation has improved, but
in my case the simplest solution was to purge consolekit from my
systems (except in my media center, XBMC still uses its d-bus
interfaces). ConsoleKit is unmantained anyway.

I have USE=-consolekit where necessary (basically gdm, pambase and
bluez), and USE=systemd everywhere else. Please note that some
packages need to unmask the systemd flag:

# cat /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask
media-sound/pulseaudio  -systemd
net-misc/networkmanager -systemd
sys-auth/polkit -systemd
sys-fs/udisks   -systemd
sys-power/upower-systemd

I believe polkit is the most important, since it's the one controlling
what program can do what, but since I switched completely to systemd
years ago, I just use it everywhere. Things just work  most of the
time.

 Thanks, Stefan

 ps: my bigger hurdle will be the bridging-setup for running
 KVM-virtualization. This was one of the reasons to go back to openrc
 back then.

I have no experience with that, but if it works in OpenRC it should
work in systemd. Probably better, even.

Hello guys, Sorry, but *this can't be fixed*.

Ubuntu decided to change the window titlebar behaviour
in 14.04. So far, i have been unable to find any
alternative way to change window decoration. I am
of the opinion it isn't possible.

If you think it is possible, and are able to successfully
change the controls in 14.04 and up using any available
tool/command or any tweak whatsoever, let me know how
you did it, and I'll figure out a way to do it from UTT again.

Epic fail, isn't?

Mark Shuttleworth managed to create can't-be-solved problem
just of an open air. He always stated that his goal with Ubuntu
is to replace MS Windows. Now he has already achieved it:
Ubuntu is as unconfigurable as MS Windows. No difference any more.
 
   I know it was possible at the time because I was asked.
   But I'm not interested in GNOME so it's not the sort of
   thing I bother remembering.
  
  We are talking about Unity, not Gnome.

Hi David,

Using a Gnome terminal and the default character set Current Local
Ansi_X3.4-1968 all the asian characters are bad.  Using Unicode
(UTF-8) all look good.  So cat'ing _does_ work properly.

On the plus side, being able to display correctly in (1) a Gnome
terminal and (2) in Eclipse's source code window (which uses
Monospace) and (3) in a Claws-Mail window indicates that all needed
fonts are available.

On the minus side, e experiments to change emacs' mule encoding to
ascii, chinese, and utf-8 don't seem to have any effect :-

And in an emacs *shell* window (with mule...set UTF-8, the strings
show up like:

   String sh = zh: \344\270\226\347\225u\345\245\275;

I assume you are using xemacs, does it work if you're not using xemacs 
(use the -nw flag when launching)? I have never used mule myself as it 
is not needed with emacs 22. Since everything seems to work in your 
terminal I cannot see why it wouldn't work in emacs, but I'm not an expert.


Just to be sure, have you followed the steps in

[gentoo-user] esd or arts, sound daemon howto

[Claudinei Matos]

hi,

I have 2 box with gentoo, one at my home and other at work.
well, the one of home have alsa drivers for sound and I used gnome as
desktop for a while.
I always was able to listen sound from a lot of softwares at same time
and didn't needed to do any manual configuration to this.
At my work machine I have installed gnome and some parts of kde but I
preferer to use xfce instead. Since I've installed this system I never
could get 2 or more softwares at the same time 'cause the second
instance can't access dsp device.
I did setup alsa correctly and even that never works.
Some days ago I was installing skype at home and had to work with
somethings about esd and arts.
Coming to my job I did get a try to use start esd at shell prompt and
suddenly I could run a lot of xmms instances and listen to all they at
the same time.

Well, now I know that if I want to run 2 or more softwares at same
time I have to use esd or arts but I don't want to start it manually
all the time so I want to know if is there some place to setup
arts,esd or even other sound daemon?

tks in advice

 Maybe you can dump the environment from the applet launcher and
 compare it to the environment in gnome-terminal.  The set command
 with no arguments will dump the environment for you.
 
 bash -c set  /tmp/applet_env.txt

good idea!!  ok, there's lots of env var's in there, but no LANG or
LC_ALL or anything like that.

Also, when I try this as an applet:

bash -c locale  /tmp/applet_locale

I get POSIX for everything instead of en_AU.  eg.
LC_CTYPE=POSIX
instead of
LC_CTYPE=en_AU

but from the gnome-terminal (for those who came in late):

Hi  thanks to all who answered,
  A few comments/responses:

1) We do not run KDE.

2) Some of the machines have Gnome but none of us like Nautilus very
much for this solution:

a) It does not, as far as we can tell, support a dual pane layout for
easy file transfer. Rather it seems to require us to open two Nautilus
windows and transfer between two windows instead of two panes.

b) Most bothersome, if within Nautilus we bookmark directories on
remote machines then every time we log in Gnome makes us type in
passwords at login time instead of when we access the remote machine.
Worse, if the machine which is bookmarked happens to be turned off
then we get longs delays and error messages. In all the whole Nautilus
solution seems to be quite unremarkable at this time.

3) Assuming this is 'fish://''

http://roo.no-ip.org/fish/screenshots.html

then how is this a graphical file manager. It seems to be a shell. I
support it is a replacement for ssh/scp protocols but that's not the
problem just yet. I have no problems with scp and actually prefer it
as it works with the Mac's and Windows machines I have here.

  Again, thanks for your responses. I do appreciate them. I also
tried out xfe which seems OK on a single machine. I have not yet
figured out if it can see the network using scp.

 xdg-open is just a shell script. If you are interested, take a look at

 A possible way to work around it (depends on your application, which,
 in your case, is beagle, which I am not familiar with) is to go into
 the offending application that is calling xdg-open and see if you can
 configure MIME types in there yourself. The application that made me
 look this up, Jabref, does allow that configuration. Your mileage can
 of course vary.
Thanks Willie for your answer.

Sadly beagle-search doesn't offer any option. The developers must use

GNOME2 the first thing I do is turn most of those things off.

to get rid of a few more icons on the top panel.  I patched so it
doesn't show the time (if the time is shown on the desktop, I find I'm
constantly looking at the time which is also distracting (for the same

for most-used apps I use keyboard shortcuts.  Works for me.

If you want icons on the desktop, etc. There are extensions and config
settings to enable that in GNOME3.  gnome-tweak-tool is your friend.

I don't use fallback mode.  The gnome-shell is (almost) exactly what I
want.

Good to hear. Maybe I will give it a try after doing some snapshot of my

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo on compiz problems

 Hi!
 I am running a stable port of gentoo with gnome 2.31.1 and I want to run

 How do I run compiz proparly?! I am pretty sure, that I do something

 When I open gnome-terminal (shell) and run compiz-manager I get the

I think you need to be present in the video group.
Clearly the problem is because access is denied to your video card.
Just ls -l /dev/nvidiactl (you should see group video there) and add
yourself to the group.

gpasswd -a your username video

If the group is something else as the ls -l reveals, add yourself to
that group (unless it's root or wheel). If the group is root or wheel,
you need to modify udev/mdev rules which I'm not aware of much.

Re: [gentoo-user] is anyone using Nouveau graphics driver ?

desktop environment?

​I use GNOME 3.24.2, with gnome-shell (which uses a compositor).​ Also, I
run Wayland, not "classic" X.

​> ​
If I had had the positive experience you speak of, I would adopt Nouveau in
a heartbeat. Nvidia has clearly shown their lack of interest in the Linux
community by shunning higher console resolutions, leaving a display port
blanking bug unresolved for about 2 years and haphazardly fixing bugs with
features reported to be working on miscellaneous branches of the driver,
unreleased to the unwashed masses (read up about Vulkan support, esp vs
Rise of the Tomb Raider).

​I do not play modern AAA games on Linux. Nouveau works with 2D
acceleration and basic OpenGL, but I don't think it can handle something
like Tomb Raider or Mad Max.

> I would accept a framerate hit for an open-source driver. But rebooting
my main machine daily is off the cards. If I wanted that, I'd use that
other OS. I develop on that other OS, but my development machine  can be
rebooted any time. My home machine has shit to get done.

​Nouveau (in my experience) is rock solid and fast for desktop use.
However, it doesn't work​ for gaming, AFAIK.

​Regards.

Re: [gentoo-user] Libsld, what gives?

If you're going to try to dig all the way to the bottom first then 
--ignore-world and --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps can be helpful for forcing 
it to build what it needs to break a dependency loop.  But do be aware that 
things may cease to function during the intermediate stages.

If those are not sufficiently strong, then you can climb into the package repo 
and start issuing ebuild commands yourself and it will do what it's told 
without bothering about checking dependencies at all.  Make sure you know what 
you're doing...  Obviously...

But seriously, try disabling any overlays first if at all possible.  It's quite 
common for those to lag behind the main repo and turn things into a tangled 
mess.


At this point the jackhammers have gone silent and I'm left with the 
issue I had before:



tortoise ~ # emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y world 
--verbose --backtrack=40 --changed-deps --verbose-conflicts --pretend 
--ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy 
"media-libs/libsdl2[abi_x86_32?,alsa?,custom-cflags?,joystick?,nas?,opengl?,oss?,pulseaudio?,sound?,static-libs?,video?,X?]".

tortoise ~ #


I then checked my overlays, and it turns out I had an outrageously 
bloated number of layers installed:


tortoise ~ # layman -l

 * poly-c    [Rsync ] 
(rsync://rsync.gentoofan.org/poly-c )
 * wichtounet    [Git   ] 
(https://github.com/wichtounet/wichtounet-overlay.git )


tortoise ~ #
#

I think one of those was because mainline had stopped maintaining 
seamnokey and I needed it maintained. No idea what I was smoking when I 
applied the other or even which is which. In all likelyhood I had a 
problem and applying that overlay solved it and because I didn't have a 
problem after solving said problem, I forgot about it and can't really 
say what or even when it was I had that problem. All I have now is this 
lingering sense that touching those overlays will result in misery and 
suffering so it's best not to even look up how to remove either of them.


eclan still shows a large number of outdated packages on the system so 
there is definitely lots of updating to work if I can get emerge out of 
its current hissy-fit.

 Can you try doing

 The man page from dracut says that -H is for the current host
 instead of a generic host. Maybe the generic host configuration is
 messing up something with su that your actual host configuration
 needs.

 I use -H. As I have ben saying, my initramfs it's pretty up in sync
 with my normal system.

 Regards.


 Notice, I make the distinction between Console and Konsole by making the
 first letter capitalized.  It kind of gets confusing.  :/

 I had to reboot so I made a new init thingy with the -H switch.  It
 works in Console but nothing root works in KDE.  I get the same error.
 Heck, Konsole won't even try to come up much less ask for my password.
 Krusader asks for password and says that su is not in the path.  This is
 similar to what I got when I was in a Console too.

 So, boot without init thingy, everything works fine.  Boot with the init
 thingy, I can't access things in KDE as root.  All I do is reboot.  I
 don't change or edit anything other than selecting a different entry in
 grub.

 I use Konsole when I emerge and such as that.  I use Krusader, since
 Konqueror developed a bug, to edit config files.  I don't care to switch
 to a Console to emerge something or edit a config file.  This is not
 going to work for me long term.

 Also, keep in mind, I boot the EXACT same kernel whether I use the init
 thingy or not.  All I do is remove the stuff the init thingy needs to
 work.

 Go figure.

I'm a little confused: you log in KDE as a regular user, open a
Konsole, type su -, and what happens?

What do you mean with Konsole won't even try to come up?

In the shell that Krusader provides (which I assume you run as a
regular user), what it's the result of which su? And also, what
happens when (inside the shell from Krusader) you run /bin/su?

If not for the fact that you say that in a virtual console su works, I
would be willing to suggest that your initramfs never does the
switch_root, and so you end up with the minimal / from the initramfs,
and your normal /usr. That would be beyond bizarre, but if you *can*
use su in a virtual console, then it should be there.

I usally log in in GNOME, open a gnome-terminal, and set a fixed
number of tabs in gnome-terminal where I su -, and work as root in
there. I also can run an X11 program as root with su -lc
/usr/bin/gedit, but I almost never do that (although it works; I just
checked).

I don't think I understand how do you use su. Could you explain it to
me, please?

One last thing: create a  directory /tmp/whatever, and inside it
unpack your initramfs:

zcat /boot/init-thingie | cpio -i

Could you do a ls -R /tmp/whatever so we can see what actually ends
up in yout initramfs?

Regards.

I don't think the file exists, also why should he delete it? It is
setuptools/pycrypto which tries to write files outside the sandbox
which is not allowed.

Tamer you can try if pycrypto installs fine with setuptools 0.7.3. If
yes you should open a bug about the pycrypto-2​.6-r2 sandbox issue
with setuptools 0.6.30-r1

Re: [gentoo-user] [poll] What is your session state?

[Canek Peláez Valdés]

On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 4:43 PM, walt w41...@gmail.com wrote:
 Recent threads about consolekit vs logind(systemd) have made me curious, so
 I've been studying...

 A few of us have had recent problems with things like plugging USB sticks,
 which once worked transparently but now require root privileges.

 I've discovered that my own such problems are caused by this:

 $loginctl show-session 1   (I have only one session, cleverly named '1')

 Id=1
 Timestamp=Sun 2014-02-09 07:18:32 PST
 TimestampMonotonic=389744251
 VTNr=1
 TTY=/dev/tty1
 Remote=no
 Service=login
 Scope=session-1.scope
 Leader=426
 Audit=1
 Type=tty
 Class=user
 Active=no   =  should be 'yes'
 State=online  ===  should be 'active'

 Users of consolekit, don't feel neglected.  You should try this instead:

 $ck-list-sessions
 Session1:
 unix-user = '1001'
 realname = '(null)'
 seat = 'Seat2'
 session-type = ''
 active = FALSE(correct because I'm ssh'd into a remote box)
 x11-display = ':0'
 x11-display-device = '/dev/tty2'
 display-device = '/dev/tty1'
 remote-host-name = ''
 is-local = FALSE
 on-since = '2014-02-09T22:00:10.750312Z'
 login-session-id = '1'

 Canek explained that the reason my session is not 'active' is that I'm
 not using a Display Manager (gdm kdm lightdm), which talks to logind or
 consolekit and vouches for my physical presence at the local keyboard.

 However, when I do the same thing on arch linux (as a virtualbox guest)
 I see that my session (running gnome) is 'active' and I have no trouble
 powering off the virtual machine as an unprivileged user.

Hi Walt; since I already have GNOME 3+systemd, I decided to install
Xfce. Given that all the plumbing is essentially the same for both
desktops, it took less than 15 minutes for portage to emerge it (13
small packages).

I started it like you, with exec startxcfe4 in my $HOME/.xinitrc.
Boy, I had forgotten how desktops looked at the start of the century.

Anyway, I had exactly the same problem as you; I needed my root
password to mount USB sticks or shutdown the machine. My session was
Active=no, State=online.

As I suspected, if I started Xfce through gdm, everything worked
without any issue; session was Active=yes, State=active, and my root
password was not required for anything. So one workaround is to
install gdm,  but that is ugly (and unnecessary, see below).

 Any ideas how I can fix it?

Yeah, I found the solution on the net:

http://blog.falconindy.com/articles/back-to-basics-with-x-and-systemd.html

Basically, invoke startx passing Xorg the option of which VT you want
to transfer for your X11 session:

startx -- vt01

Obviously, that only works if you are in VT 1 (Alt-F1).

 BTW, this helped me to understand some of the buzzwords I used above:

 http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat/

I owe you an apology Walter; I just assumed you had configured
something wrong. I'm just getting used to the fact that with GNOME
3+systemd everything kinda works immediately. Sorry.

With the above solution, everything works with Xfce without asking for
authentication... except adding printers, I suppose.

Regards.

PS: Inside Xfce (which looks surprisingly similar to GNOME 2), I kept
doing the same thing I do on a Mac or Windows machine; pressing the
windows key to bring up the shell overview. I really don't understand
how could I get any work done before using GNOME Shell.

Have you tried to load uvesafb module with desired parameters before
running fbset? You can setup modules init script to do that
automatically.

Yep, I tried that, but no joy there at all.  I even tried the nvidia
frame buffer thinking it might be compatible with the nvidia drivers,
but I could not get anything out of it, either as a module or built in.

[gentoo-user] Just a few questions.

[Wael Nasreddine]

Hello,

I have a few questions that has been bugging me for a while, hope I
find the answers I;m looking for :)

I use zsh for shell, rxvt-unicode for Terminal emulator, urxvt runs
with TERM rxvt-unicode, GNU Screen runs with the term screen-256color,
now I'm not sure what's the issue, but when I login through GDM/KDM
the colors inside screen are all messed up, here's 2 screenshots, the
1st one[1] is when gnome was started via usual startx command and the
second[2] is for gnome session when started from GDM/KDM, the colors
are not just messed up in zsh, in mutt and in every ncurses programs..

The second question is about a problem that has been bugging me for a
while now, and it happend in ViM ruinning in X, Screen or Console...
When I type a letter, erase it and type another letter, I'll get
a weird char, not what I've typed, ex: the next quoted character is 
supposed to be a, and the one after that is f, and i see? å ff に
... I have no idea why this is happening but it's really annoying to have
undetected error like these while scripting... Any ideas ??

The third problem is zsh related, anyway the problem is when I try to use
zsh outside rxvt-unicode the keys Home, PgUP, PgDn and End does not
work, in gnome-terminal instead of going to the beginning of the line,
I get this instead:
H[2;A[0;G
Here's a screenshot of gnome-terminal[3]... This doesn't happen in
bash.

I included relevant config files below, key bindings are defind in
.inputrc and .zsh/zle

Thank you :)

 Why? Use whatever suits you.
 

I hope that you all appreciate my extreme restraint in not posting to
this thread until now, given how very much I dislike KDE.

But for the record, just so that all you KDE-heads don't skew the
results com*plete*ly:

I always (from my first attempts at Linux some 3 years ago) preferred
GNOME to KDE. Never liked Nautilus, though (it's tied for second on my
list of most hated file managers), and since I've never been fond of
desktop icons and all that cr... junk... I still found it too heavy. So I
switched to Openbox 3 (with a GTK backend), and now I use fvwm-crystal
(with a GTK backend). Gnome-light is (always) installed, but I don't
use it as a desktop.

I have only two KDE-specific applications that I would not do without
(both compiled -kde and -arts to the greatest extent possible): Krusader
(though this needs Konq and some other KDE utils for best usage, as it
recognizes KDE apps much much better than GTK apps for viewing files and
the like), and K3b. These apps require kdebase, so I've got that, but
the day you see me logging into KDE, you can rest assured that either:

1) my system is so seriously broke that it's the only DE/WM I can get
into (which is pretty unlikely. I mean, I've got iceWM and *afterstep*
on the system, for Pete's sake; the day that doesn't work but KDE does
will be... The day);

or

2) I have been replaced by an alien clone (shoot first, ask questions
later).

I prefer to use GTK-based applications wherever possible because I find
them more attractive in general, and I'm more used to them (as a GNOME
user originally), unless they're junk, like Totem, in which case I use
non-affiliated programs like Xine or mPlayer. Yes, I know Totem can be
configured to use a Xine backend. Imo, there's no point; if that's the
only way Totem works, I might as well just use Xine. Plus I want to see
when gStreamer gets its act together. However I have no objection to
QT-based apps (as opposed to KDE apps) when necessary. It does need to
be necessary, though (meaning, if I need it, I'll install qdvdauthor,
because there's no GTK alternative that I know of, but I can just as
well use the CLI original, unless the GUI version has some additional
feature or makes it easier to understand than the CLI version's man page).

So anyway, Neil is of course right: use what you want; it's *your*
desktop (finally!). I don't need a whole lot of GUI features (in fact I
dislike a whole lot of GUI features), so KDE is not for me, the one who
never liked Windows(-like) desktops, even when I was using Windows; I
used an alternative shell from my Win98 days on. But for those who feel
more comfortable with a more Windows-like environment, and Windows-like
assumptions about what a user wants/needs from their desktop, KDE may be
just the thing; that is, after all, what it's designed to do to a great
extent.

You can have it, though. I'll be elsewhere.

I will try, but I have never found that to work, but I will check.

 I'm a little confused: you log in KDE as a regular user, open a
 Konsole, type su -, and what happens?

 What do you mean with Konsole won't even try to come up?

 In the shell that Krusader provides (which I assume you run as a
 regular user), what it's the result of which su? And also, what
 happens when (inside the shell from Krusader) you run /bin/su?

 If not for the fact that you say that in a virtual console su works, I
 would be willing to suggest that your initramfs never does the
 switch_root, and so you end up with the minimal / from the initramfs,
 and your normal /usr. That would be beyond bizarre, but if you *can*
 use su in a virtual console, then it should be there.

 I usally log in in GNOME, open a gnome-terminal, and set a fixed
 number of tabs in gnome-terminal where I su -, and work as root in
 there. I also can run an X11 program as root with su -lc
 /usr/bin/gedit, but I almost never do that (although it works; I just
 checked).

 I don't think I understand how do you use su. Could you explain it to
 me, please?

 One last thing: create a  directory /tmp/whatever, and inside it
 unpack your initramfs:

 zcat /boot/init-thingie | cpio -i

 Could you do a ls -R /tmp/whatever so we can see what actually ends
 up in yout initramfs?

 Regards.


 Actually, I log into KDE as a user and when Konsole opens, it asks for
 the root password.  I have the KDE session saved so it opens all this on
 its own.  Anyway, since I have it set that way, Konsole never opens, I
 assume because it can't find the su command.  I have been doing it this
 way since back in the KDE3 days.  It has never done this before.

Oh, I see; so you always use an X terminal as a root session. You
never use a terminal as a regular user? I have never been able to do
that.

 I finally got around to rebooting to check on this, hence the delay in
 replying, and found this in the boot up process, the stuff that scrolls
 up the screen.  I'm having to type this in since it is NOT in dmesg or
 the logs but just printed on the screen.


 dracut: switching root
 switch_root: failed to mount moving /dev to /sysroot/dev: Invaild argument
 switch_root: forcing unmount of /dev
 switch_root: failed to unlink dev: Directory not empty
 INIT: version 2.88 booting

Do you have /dev listed in your fstab? Actually, can you show us your
/etc/fstab file?

 Keep in mind, the three middle lines with the problems are NOT shown in
 dmesg, messages or anywhere else but the screen.  I had to boot with nox
 to even see this.  This is what ticks me on this mess.  With the way it
 logs things, you better hope you got video buffer to scroll up with or
 you don't get to see the failure.

Add this to your kernel command line:

rd.debug rd.udev.debug

Also, remove quiet and splash (if any) from the kernel command line.
All this info is in the dracut man pages:

man dracut
man dracut.cmdline

 Also, while booted with the init thingy, I made sure the real /
 partition was mounted.  It shows sda3 was mounted and based on the space
 used, I believe it.  I got to clean out some old kernels pretty soon.  ;-)

Yeah, but it is mounted as it should? As I said last mail, could you
check if in the shell that Krusader provides, what it's the result of
which su? And also, what happens when (inside the shell from
Krusader) you run /bin/su?

Also, an ls -l /bin/su would be helpful (even from the virtual
console: Ctrl+Alt+F1); it may be a permissions related thing. I think
you can make that ls /bin/su; it seems that you have ls aliased to
ls -l.

The listing of your initramfs seems fine; therefore, probably the
problem is elsewhere. Again, please show us your fstab, and lets also
see your kernel command line (in either GRUB, GRUB2 or LILO, whichever
you use). And, I repeat, if you want to see the dracut output in
dmesg, add the following to your kernel command line:

rd.debug rd.udev.debug

and remove splash and quiet from it, if they are set.

Regards.

As mentioned in the former thread (I decided to start a new one) I can't

I created a brand new user to rule that out, same behavior.

The following log is from /var/log/messages ... I start gdm.service, try
to log in, get thrown back to the user selection (- this is the
problem...) and stop gdm.service.

What I tried:

* downgraded accountsservice (found that mentioned:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1198455)

* fixed bluetooth.service (threw some errors, now ok afaik)

* rebuilt all around dbus, gdm, pulseaudio ... etc

* when I stop gdm, and start xdm.service I am able to log in and use
Gnome ...

-

Canek, maybe you have an idea?

Thanks in advance, Stefan

Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg.conf changes and dual screen setup

[Allan Gottlieb]

At Mon, 10 Sep 2007 00:33:35 +0200 Daniel Pielmeier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 the update to xorg-server-1.3 broke my dual-screen setup. It creates a
 virtual screen size with the same size of the primary monitor for the
 second monitor which is my TV. So i can only reach a zone with 800x600
 on the second device, even scrolling within the virtual screen is
 impossible. I want 1280x1024 for the primary and 800x600 for the
 secondary Monitor which displays the complete desktop on any screen.

I also had breakage.  I have an 1680x1050 laptop and a 1600x1200
external monitor.  When I have the monitor connected, it is all I use.

When I don't have the monitor connected, I naturally use the laptop
screen.

I will give my fix below, but to understand it, I think it is helpful
to know what I did previously.

Previously, when I went into X (gnome) I have a shell script
(~/bin/Xinitialize) run by gnome-session that included

   xrandr -s 2(the 2 is from memory and might be wrong)

this worked because when I had the ext monitor in I made sure to do fn-f8
before the system went into X.  This insured that X came up on the
monitor and size #2 was it turns out 1600x1200 (thank you
915resolution, for enabling 1600x120 all together).

When the ext monitor was not in, by dumb luck, size number 2 was
1680x1050 so it all worked.

With the new server, the dumb luck disappeared, but a better xrandr
appeared to take its place (the real improvement is that the server
supports 1.2 RandR).

Now my ~/bin/Xinitialize begins

#!/bin/sh
sleep 2

if xrandr | grep VGA connected ; then
xrandr --verbose --output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --output LVDS --off
else
xrandr --verbose --output VGA --off --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050
fi
xset s reset# above seems to blank the screen
sleep 3

This sets 1600x1200 and turns off the laptop screen when the ext
monitor is in.  It sets 1680x1050 and turns off driving the external
monitor connector (which may well be a useless step) when there is no
ext monitor connected.

Perhaps something similar will help you.

Good luck,
allan

  Hi David,
  
  Using a Gnome terminal and the default character set Current Local
  Ansi_X3.4-1968 all the asian characters are bad.  Using Unicode
  (UTF-8) all look good.  So cat'ing _does_ work properly.
  
  On the plus side, being able to display correctly in (1) a Gnome
  terminal and (2) in Eclipse's source code window (which uses
  Monospace) and (3) in a Claws-Mail window indicates that all
  needed fonts are available.
  
  On the minus side, e experiments to change emacs' mule encoding to
  ascii, chinese, and utf-8 don't seem to have any effect :-
  
  And in an emacs *shell* window (with mule...set UTF-8, the strings
  show up like:
  
 String sh = zh: \344\270\226\347\225u\345\245\275;
  
  which interprets as the octal codes corresponding to UTF-8 char.

 I assume you are using xemacs, does it work if you're not using
 xemacs (use the -nw flag when launching)? I have never used mule
 myself as it is not needed with emacs 22. Since everything seems to
 work in your terminal I cannot see why it wouldn't work in emacs, but
 I'm not an expert.
 
 Just to be sure, have you followed the steps in 
 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml?

I've got both emacs and xemacs installed.  Using xemacs, most of the
chinese, japanese, and korean characters show up as hex codes like
\226.  emacs does the better job (with japanese being correct).

I've looked at the utf-8.xml page and what I've got is a combination of
en_US.UTF-8 and C (see the end of this message).

My 2.6.24 kernel has iso8859-1 as its default and I'm rebuilding with
UTF-8 as the default to see if this helps.

[gentoo-user] How do I get KDE to start on boot?

[Daevid Vincent]

This seems like a newb question. I've been using my Gentoo for a few years
now, and since X/KDE/Gnome/etc. never seemed to be quite stable, I always
booted into command lines and then manually 'startx' JICSH.

But I find myself almost always doing that these days, so I suppose it's
time to make the plunge so that X starts when I boot up. I'm still a bit
worried about hibernation (which I don't have working anyways - yet), I
recall there were issues with nvidia and suspending to HD/RAM if you were in
X. That could be old news?

Anyways, I can't get this to work. When I boot up, the screen is BLACK. Not
just back-lit black, but like there's no power black. If I CTRL+ALT+1, I get
to a shell prompt.

Here are some interesting areas:

Re: [gentoo-user] gnome-shell, networkmanager, wifi re-connect

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Am 20.12.2011 16:11, schrieb Albert W. Hopkins:

 At it's core NM is just a daemon.  The gnome/kde stuff are just 
 front-ends that talk to the daemon via dbus when need-be.  So likely
 it appears faster when you boot because the NetworkManager service
 is already started and connecting to your AP before you even see X
 come up. When you resume, all that other machinery is already up, so
 you are waiting on the card and the AP to associate.

Another thing in the game: my home-dir is encrypted.

So afai understand NM is only able to read the settings of my user AFTER
I logged in (and mounted /home via pam_mount). Correct?

So it should be faster after resume ... ?

 Question: have you tried associateting with the AP manually?  How
 long does that take?  Have you tried associating with other APs?

I did but that was without specifically watching times ... at customers
I had other things in mind. Here in my office I currently only have that
AP available for now.

 Should not take too long unless you have a very slow connection...
 it's a 306K file (took me less than 1 second to wget).  It's uses the
 H.264 video codec so I'm guessing you don't have that.

Exactly. Never mind. Thanks anyway.

[gentoo-user] advice on transitioning from package.use file to package.use directory

[Alexander Kapshuk]

Having read the email exchange on the possibility of using
'package.use' as a directory, I thought I would give that a try.

Here is what I have attempted so far.

cd /etc/portage
mv package.use package.use.COPY
mkdir package.use
cd package.use
awk -F'[/\t ]+' '{printf("echo \047%s\047 >> ", $0); sub("-[0-9]+.*",
"", $2); print $2}' ../package.use.COPY

NOTE; the awk output just generates the command lines for the shell to
run. If the output is acceptable, it should be piped through to the
shell.

Here is the contents of the original 'package.use' file:

cat package.use
=dev-lang/python-2.7.9-r1 sqlite
>=dev-ruby/json-1.8.2-r1 ruby_targets_ruby21
>=dev-ruby/racc-1.4.11 ruby_targets_ruby21

xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager -udisks
xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin hddtemp lm_sensors

NOTE: There are two entries for 'rubygems' there.

Here is the awk script output:

echo '=dev-lang/python-2.7.9-r1 sqlite' >> python
echo '>=dev-ruby/json-1.8.2-r1 ruby_targets_ruby21' >> json

echo 'xfce-extra/xfce4-sensors-plugin hddtemp lm_sensors' >>
xfce4-sensors-plugin

The two 'rubygems' entries I had in the original 'package.use' file
went into a single 'rubygems' file:

cat rubygems
>=dev-ruby/rubygems-2.2.5-r1 ruby_targets_ruby21
>=virtual/rubygems-10 ruby_targets_ruby21

Is this format acceptable? Or should I have used two separate files,
one for 'dev-lang/rubygems', and another for 'virtual/rubygems'?

I have run 'emerge -auUND @world' since the transition, which voiced
no complaints so far.

The list's input would be appreciated.

but I'm more suspicious about PAM so try to get PAM fixed first.

It could just as well be failing because you shutdown GDM; it might be

OK, it looks like I have the recomended item in the system-auth in
/etc/pam.d.  

But c because I am not very familiar with gdm, can you give me a key
sequence after gdm is launched to emter my user id and password?  I saw
no place to do this at all, just this strange list of some of my ids.
What I can do is to start gdm, not hit any keys and then send you the
log segment for that and see if it looks OK to you and then we can go
further.

 A failing conversation here looks odd to me; so, maybe this krontley
 user is bugged (preventing others from being listed?) or PAM itself
 isn't working properly at all?
 
 Check the following link which can be a possible solution to this:
 
 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd#systemd-logind_.26_pam_systemd
 
 Other than that I see gnome-settings-daemon failing as it exits with
 code 1, but with no clear warning or error; from experience with that,
 that could be a reason to display or usage problems. A way to debug
 this could be to restart it in the shell to catch more output, if any;
 but I'm more suspicious about PAM so try to get PAM fixed first.
 
 It could just as well be failing because you shutdown GDM; it might be
 more clear if you capture a log where you don't shutdown GDM, as then
 the last messages would be much more related to the problem at hand.
OK, here is a link to the messages without me doing anything in gdm at
all, just starting it.

 Why? Use whatever suits you.
 

I hope that you all appreciate my extreme restraint in not posting to
this thread until now, given how very much I dislike KDE.

But for the record, just so that all you KDE-heads don't skew the
results com*plete*ly:

I always (from my first attempts at Linux some 3 years ago) preferred
GNOME to KDE. Never liked Nautilus, though (it's tied for second on my
list of most hated file managers), and since I've never been fond of
desktop icons and all that cr... junk... I still found it too heavy. So I
switched to Openbox 3 (with a GTK backend), and now I use fvwm-crystal
(with a GTK backend). Gnome-light is (always) installed, but I don't
use it as a desktop.

I have only two KDE-specific applications that I would not do without
(both compiled -kde and -arts to the greatest extent possible): Krusader
(though this needs Konq and some other KDE utils for best usage, as it
recognizes KDE apps much much better than GTK apps for viewing files and
the like), and K3b. These apps require kdebase, so I've got that, but
the day you see me logging into KDE, you can rest assured that either:

1) my system is so seriously broke that it's the only DE/WM I can get
into (which is pretty unlikely. I mean, I've got iceWM and *afterstep*
on the system, for Pete's sake; the day that doesn't work but KDE does
will be... The day);

or

2) I have been replaced by an alien clone (shoot first, ask questions
later).

I prefer to use GTK-based applications wherever possible because I find
them more attractive in general, and I'm more used to them (as a GNOME
user originally), unless they're junk, like Totem, in which case I use
non-affiliated programs like Xine or mPlayer. Yes, I know Totem can be
configured to use a Xine backend. Imo, there's no point; if that's the
only way Totem works, I might as well just use Xine. Plus I want to see
when gStreamer gets its act together. However I have no objection to
QT-based apps (as opposed to KDE apps) when necessary. It does need to
be necessary, though (meaning, if I need it, I'll install qdvdauthor,
because there's no GTK alternative that I know of, but I can just as
well use the CLI original, unless the GUI version has some additional
feature or makes it easier to understand than the CLI version's man page).

So anyway, Neil is of course right: use what you want; it's *your*
desktop (finally!). I don't need a whole lot of GUI features (in fact I
dislike a whole lot of GUI features), so KDE is not for me, the one who
never liked Windows(-like) desktops, even when I was using Windows; I
used an alternative shell from my Win98 days on. But for those who feel
more comfortable with a more Windows-like environment, and Windows-like
assumptions about what a user wants/needs from their desktop, KDE may be
just the thing; that is, after all, what it's designed to do to a great
extent.

You can have it, though. I'll be elsewhere.

 My network updates its software every night at midnight.  There was a
 problem with a couple of blocking packages night before last, so I
 unmerged the two blocking packages and did the emerge -avuD world in a

 personal account.  I have to log completely out and then log in as root
 from the login screen.  I use users-admin for my user maintenance, but
 now there's a tab that says User Privileges where the User's Groups
 tab used to be, so I can't figure out how to make sure that my personal
 account is in the right group(s) to su - to root.  A lot of things are
 different now.  I keep a gnome-terminal open at all times and it the
 prompt now shows [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ when I'm in my home directory
 instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] michael $ which I preferred.  I could su - to
 root yesterday while the upgrades were taking place and root's prompt
 was the same.  And then my Inbox Monitor applet is gone, so I have to
 click on the running evolution button every time I want to see if I have
 any email (which is quite often actually).  Is there any way I can fix
 all this, or at least get my su - privileges back?
 
 

Obviously the su to root issue is more important, but I know the cause
of the other two issues (the change in the prompt and the loss of the
mail checking tool).

The change from [EMAIL PROTECTED] explicit home directory name to [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]
~, is, I believe, a change in Bash, which only affects (afaik) the
display name of the user's home directory. First of all, in Bash 3, the
usage of /w and /W have been reversed; the lowercase now expands the
full path display and the upper case truncates to just the cwd (current
working directory).

Somewhere in the revisions to Bash 2.05, the expansion of the /w and /W
variables when in your /home was changed so that /home/username (or
/root), which the /w variable already truncated (showing just the
directory without the path to it), has been shortened from multiple
characters (whose username is just one character?) to one character: ~,
which is the commonly acknowledged abbreviation for /home/username.

This affects the display no matter how deep you go into the user's /home
directory (at least in Bash 3; I just upgraded, and I don't think Bash
2.05 -r9 did this)-- /home/username/.mozilla/firefox is now displayed as
~/.mozilla/firefox. I'm almost sure that yesterday (when I was still
using Bash 2.05) it would have been /home/motub/.mozilla/firefox.

But actually, I like it; I currently have my prompt split over 3 lines
to prevent long cwds from destroying my prompt; this might mean I could
lower that number to 2 lines, since the display of the cwd is much
shorter by default. Other than that, I see no way to change it (it's a
feature, not a bug), other than changing shells, which is also a
possibility, of course-- but I, at least would need a better reason than
that to go to the troule of learning a new shell, when I hardly know bash.

--

As for the mail checker-- you must have upgraded from =GNOME 2.8.x to
GNOME 2.10. The previously included mail-notification utility does not
work with GNOME 2.10, and in fact should have been removed. Try
mail-notification (emerge mail-notification); it's a nice email checker
for the GNOME panel whose benefit is that you can set it up to check
both POP mail and GMail (possibly only if you have POP download
enabled), as well as other types of accounts, such as IMAP or system mail.

I have also used GBiff (emerge gnubiff), which is much cuter with a
Povray Tux icon, but I don't believe it checks GMail. But for general
use, it's fine, and has much the same featureset as mail-notification.

And of course, there's GkrellM's mail notification plugin, gDesklets may
a mail checking utility, and various dockapps provide this functionality
as well, if you happen to use a dock.

So you just have to use a different program of your choice, rather than
relying on a pre-installed tool.

---

As to the inability to su to root, assuming that the user is in the
wheel group-- don't I remember hearing that this is some issue with the
update to 'shadow'(or pam and shadow), and something has to be fixed in
/etc/login.defs oh right, it's something about the
SU_WHEEL_ONLY=yes, which sounds like it means that only the wheel group
should be able to su, but in fact means that only members the ROOT group
(who are also members of the wheel group) can su (due to another setting
in another file which also restricts the ability to su)... I read here
that the solution is to change this setting to NO. But that results, as
I understand it, in everybody and their little sister being able to su
to root, which is not really optimal.

A better proposed solution is to reset SU_WHEEL_ONLY to 'no' and also to

create /etc/suauth with this single line...

 Clearly it's working, but not. This is in gnome-terminal, but
 the term in use doesn't seem to make any difference, and this is
 worse than nothing at all in terms of readablility (made even worse

 Colordiff is set in /etc/etc-update.conf as recommended in the

 be right insofar as colordiff is working; it seems to me that the
 problem is that the term is not recognizing/escaping the color

 why.  I'm using the most recent colordiff available

 Does anybody have a clue what that might be?
 
 
 What do you see in your terminal if you type this: ? printf
 '\033[1;34m+RC_VERBOSE=no\033[0;0m'
 
 If this is ok, then you know that your terminal is ok, and there is 
 something with colordiff...

And in fact, normally my terminals do display color correctly; in my

and the actual prompt is [EMAIL PROTECTED], then yellow again.
 
 Do you have any alias or function around colordiff?

No. I don't actually use colordiff standalone, so no reason. I did,
however, have an (unnecessary) alias around etc-update, which I have now
removed, allowing it to rely solely on its sudo entry. But since I don't
have any updates to diff until I get my other little problem fixed,

But... sudo uses a sub-shell, as I have heard many times. Is it possible
that colordiff just doesn't work *in sudo*?

I admit, I never thought of that. This is why sudo gets on my nerves,
convenient as it is; that stupid subshell seems to lack all kinds of
basic (bash) shell functionality that I expect.

Anyway, thanks for the ideas, I suspect that you've pointed me in the
right direction. I'm sure I should be able to generate some updates
shortly; I won't do all of them so that I can test various
configurations and see if any of them work.

 As for the mail checker-- you must have upgraded from =GNOME 2.8.x to
 GNOME 2.10. The previously included mail-notification utility does not
 work with GNOME 2.10, and in fact should have been removed. Try
 mail-notification (emerge mail-notification); it's a nice email checker
 for the GNOME panel whose benefit is that you can set it up to check
 both POP mail and GMail (possibly only if you have POP download
 enabled), as well as other types of accounts, such as IMAP or system mail.
 
 I have also used GBiff (emerge gnubiff), which is much cuter with a
 Povray Tux icon, but I don't believe it checks GMail. But for general
 use, it's fine, and has much the same featureset as mail-notification.
 
 And of course, there's GkrellM's mail notification plugin, gDesklets may
 a mail checking utility, and various dockapps provide this functionality
 as well, if you happen to use a dock.
 
 So you just have to use a different program of your choice, rather than
 relying on a pre-installed tool

glibc was one of the upgrades. I have gone through just about all the

gtksee with no change.  The two programs that I've had problems with in

Re: [gentoo-user] vnc

Vnc (I've only dealt with tightvnc, can't speak for others) is pretty
easy to use/start. After you've emerged tightvnc, simply type
xvncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24 from a shell and
it will setup a vnc server. From there you can use a vnc client
to connect to the server, using this format: IP address of
server:1 --- the colon is important as it denoted
screen 1. Once you connect to that it will give you a vnc desktop
running at a 1024x768 resolution with a 24-bit color depth. By
default, tightvnc (Gentoo-specific?) uses twm as the window manager,
but you can easily change this to use gnome, kde, or virtually any
other window manager/desktop environment by editing ~/.vnc/xstartupOn 10/24/05, John Jolet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

My apologies for not making this more clear. The system load

Even moving a window causes this to happen and the load only jumps on
one processor, the other is idle or nearly so. When the nvidia
driver is working correctly (assuming the driver is to blame) the load
seems to be balanced evenly across both processors.
In the second case you should launch top from a shell and see what

top is telling me that X is the guilty party. I can renice X to a

Re: [gentoo-user] New Portage browser

[Christoph Eckert]

Hi,


 I'm working on a new portage browser, and I was looking for ideas
 from USERS, that's why I'm posting here.

as I'm a Desktop user, I'll speak up ;-) .

 I've never found a program that would allow me to browse
 portage categories, then packages, showing in one window description,
 version, etc, etc.

 Thus, I'm working on one now, but I want to develop something

Great to hear!

 that will run in console and X, too, like suse's yast.

 So, I would like to know:

 1) do you prefer a console, a GUI, or both?

Both would be great.

 2) what additional functionality would you like? (mask/unmask
 packages, install/remove, emerge command generator [much like
 nmapfe], etc)

There already are some projects which try to do frontends for 
configuring a Gentoo system. If you write a portage frontend then yes, 
I'd enjoy to have all settings right at my fingertips. Otherwise I'd 
better stay with 4 shells open ;-) .

 If you have any idea regarding development (because of the
 both console and X-compatible script/program), please let me know. If
 not, I may end up writing an API, and two different programs.

I'm not sure what you plan exactly, but it sounds as it was reasonable 
to keep the tool as desktop independent as possible.

What about using Qt4? You can use it for shell only programming as well 
as for GUI programming (introduced in Qt4), it is independent from KDE 
or Gnome, and it allows you to divide the data from the frontend. 
Finally, it offers a concept similar to model view controller and a 
thread save signal/slot concept.

Just my two cents,

This seems like a newb question. I've been using my Gentoo for a few years

But I find myself almost always doing that these days, so I suppose it's
time to make the plunge so that X starts when I boot up. I'm still a bit
worried about hibernation (which I don't have working anyways - yet), I
recall there were issues with nvidia and suspending to HD/RAM if you were in
X. That could be old news?


For me, suspend-to-ram works better from X than from a console, using
the proprietary drivers.  In fact if I suspend from a console, the
graphics card will fail to resume correctly.

Suspend-to-disk may or may not work better for you from X.  Neither of
my systems are working with STD currently...


Anyways, I can't get this to work. When I boot up, the screen is BLACK. Not
just back-lit black, but like there's no power black. If I CTRL+ALT+1, I get
to a shell prompt.


Hmm, is this a laptop?  X/Nvidia can sometimes decide to drive only
the external video instead of the LCD, which appears as the symptoms
you describe.  I guess this could also happen on a desktop if the
graphics card has multiple outputs.

Anyway, on the console, run ps auwx | grep X and make sure that X is
running.  Also check /var/log/kdm.log and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for
error messages.

I assume you're mounting it by clicking it with Konqueror in KDE (I

In this case, you are not truly mounting it. HAL/KDE kioslaves guess the

Sometimes with good results (for example when 'mounting' an audio-cd 
-btw, an audio-cd is never properly mounted- you have virtual folders 
with mp3, FLACs, etc. that allow you to rip a CD by simple 
copy-and-paste).Sometimes not.


 I would like to have just a backup of all my movies on an external

If anyone could offer some help it would be greatly appreciated.


I know of two options:
a) mount the dvd by hand using 'mount' in a shell
b) emerge dvdrip, a truly good DVD backupping + ripping GUI tool, easy

A possible way to work around it (depends on your application, which,

configure MIME types in there yourself. The application that made me

Please be more specific about 'nothing'.  Does nano just close

you hit ^C, or what?

What do you see if you type 'which nano'?  What about 'echo

which nano gives me: /usr/bin/nano

I can run nano from command line but when type nano + file name in

pops up.



Since I haven't installed XFCE it's a bit of guesswork: have you tried
xterm nano?
That works for me (I'm using gnome, though). You could also try to run
a program with a gui (like firefox).
I don't think that it ever worked for me to enter a shell command and
actually see the result in a window.

No, xterm nano doesn't work either.

[gentoo-user] Some files in /usr/share/doc are not compressed

[Francesco Turco]

Hello.

On my system Portage uses the following two variables for compressing
files in /usr/share/doc:

 $ portageq envvar PORTAGE_COMPRESS
 xz

 $ portageq envvar PORTAGE_COMPRESS_EXCLUDE_SUFFIXES
 css gif htm[l]? jp[e]?g js pdf png

It seems anyway that some files are not compressed:

 $ find /usr/share/doc -type f -regextype posix-extended ! -regex 
 .*\.(css|gif|htm[l]?|jp[e]?g|js|pdf|png|xz) | wc -l
 79

I won't list all of them here, just some examples:

 /usr/share/doc/gnome-shell-3.4.2/AUTHORS
 /usr/share/doc/udisks-2.0.0/html/udisks2/index.sgml
 /usr/share/doc/groff-1.21-r1/pic.ps
 /usr/share/doc/automake-1.12.5/amhello-1.0.tar.gz

My goal is to have everything under /usr/share/doc compressed with xz,
or at least to understand why something is being excluded from
compression. Perhaps it is due to some additional rules I'm not aware
of, or because of some bugs.

I checked the ebuilds of the packages the previous files belong to, but
I found nothing interesting.

It would be great if anyone who is interested could check his/her own
system too.

Thank you.

That stuff is controlled by the ebuild, IIRC ebuilds should call
function dodoc so they do with docs what you want them to do. The
function name may well have changed and been superceded since last I
looked.

The reason you find nothing interesting in the ebuild is because
something that should be there isn't. ebuilds not following rules wrt
doc files is a bug and should be filed at bgo as such.

the ebuild developer can choose whether to not compress some files, look
for stuff like docompress -x foo in the ebuild

it is described in PMS:
https://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/head/pms.html#x1-12800011.3.3
(search for docompress)
and in the devmanual
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/eapi/index.html

 I have my lxde/openbox environment mostly setup. One thing I miss
 is feature rich tabbed terminal session.

I suggest that you try tmux (or screen) - this is far superiour to
multitab since you can easily also put it to the background or
access it remotely.
My default zsh login files start a tmux session automatically
(so did my previous bash login files with screen, but I do not
use bash anymore for an interactive shell).

 the tabs where customizable to show current dir or rename manually.
 When I would ssh into a remote system, the IP address was prominently
 displayed in the tab header; essential for managing tons of remote
 devices.

This is all a question of setting an appropriate prompt which also
sets the terminal title correspondingly. I suggest that you
have a look at e.g. app-shells/set_prompt from the mv overlay.

 One last problem is my lxtermnal session do not remember their previous
 screen location or size (geometry)

Probably for every terminal program there are corresponding Xresources.
For instance, for xterm, I have set
   XTerm.VT100.Geometry: 80x25
Alternatively you can specify -geometry on the command line.
Probably it is possible to write something which saves the current
geometry somewhere. I find this always disturbing, and one of my
first configuration fixes in KDE (when I was still using it)
had always been to turn off this misfeature...

 I would encourage any and all without tons of
 free ram, to ditch KDE (dunno about gnome)...

Re: [gentoo-user] problems getting systemd to work

 Hi.  I have been trying to get systemd to boot, but I have run into
 several problems and need some help.  I am using everything but /boot as
 lvm's, with a separate user partition.  I had to copy systemd to /sbin
 because the initrd looks for the realinit too soon, but that is maybe
 another matter.

Moving systemd to /sbin sounds like it's not going to work. Run
readelf -d /usr/lib/systemd/systemd; all the NEEDED libraries on
/usr/lib should be available to the binary at the time it's being
executed.

How did you get your initramfs? dracut? genkernel? Roll your own?

 I had set confirm_spawn=y in the kernel command line, but it only waits
 a short time and then says assuming positive response and tries to
 continue -- how can I get it to wait for me?  Also, even so, it died on
 mounting of my lvms, saying there was some kind of timeout and came to a
 complete halt (maybe it was a shell, but no prompt) after all those
 failed, so I could do nothing much.  Openrc works fine, but I was trying
 to get gnome to work, so I was trying to use systemd.

 It saved no logs (none I can find), but then again /var was not mounted.

 Any help with this would be appreciated.

I use dracut for my initramfs; I would recommend you to try it.
However, last time I tried to use it with LVM (a few days ago), the
last version (037) failed, but 036-r4 worked perfectly.

 I am embarrassed to report that I missed that (perhaps nv is the nv

 Thank you very much for this catch
 
  Plan A) unmerge the Nvidia binary drivers  
 
 I had done that initially

 nv is not the Nvidia binary driver, it is the 2D-only open source driver
 in XOrg. I expect you have nv in VIDEO_CARDS. 

At one point perhaps but I did set to VIDEO_CARDS to just nouveau before
starting to convert.

  Plan B) if Plan A fails, manually remove
  /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so  
 
 This helped considerably.

 Until the next XOrg update, at which point it will be reinstalled and
 your problems will start again. Set VIDEO_CARDS correctly then do

 emerge -uavDN  emerge -ca

I have done this (more or less).  I have
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=--ask --deep --tree --verbose --jobs --load-average=3

I did 
emerge --changed-use --update --keep-going world
and
emerge --depclean --ask --ignore-default-opts

The problem remains (after a reboot).
Specifically, gdm/gnome-shell puts up the screensaver giving the time in

I also tried
/etc/init.d/gdm restart

Hi guys, and Holly,

I ran a revdep-rebuild on my main rig and it says it needs to do this:

   


[ebuild UD] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.10.1-r2 [2.12.2]
 



OK, the U means Upgrade right?  The D means downgrade right?  What
the heck is going on here?  How is it going to upgrade then downgrade
and why?
   



It's not going to upgrade, then downgrade It means that the upgrade
*is* a downgrade from the version currently installed.
 



Oh, I see.  Sort of looks funny though.  LOL


This can happen for a number of reasons, but all the reasons relate to
the currently-installed package being illegal on your system in
Portage's view.

For example:

1. You installed the current version with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~arch on the
command line; because this is a temporary setting that Portage doesn't
remember after a new shell login, when a global Portage search is later
run, Portage sees that only stable packages are legal and downgrades
the upgrade;
 



I never do this. 


2. The package has changed status since installation and is no longer
legal (for example, the dev team has discovered major problems and hard
masked the package, making it legal on _no-one's_ system-- this happened
to me yesterday with the bash upgrade);

3. The package that uses this package as a dependency cannot use this
version of the currently-installed lib as a dependency (has a hard
version dependency), so the package must be downgraded to serve as a
dependency for the package in your world file that's demanding it.

Etc., etc, enz.
 



Mine was in package.keywords for some reason.  I dunno.  A ghost 
maybe  LOL




You see that using exisiting /root/.revdep-rebuild.1_files?

That means that you previously ran revdep-rebuild -p and the system is
using that output to run the actual rebuild.
 



Yea, I just used the up arrow and bash history.  I usually rm the files 
before I run revdep.  The first time anyway.





Do an emerge -upDtv gnome-vfs (after the downgrade, if you allow it).

That should show you what is bringing it in (the --tree view), and the
USE flags that package is using It's possible that you have the gnome
USE flag enabled for a package that doesn't need it, or another USE
flag-- eds comes to mind that forces the dependency.

Hope this helps.

Holly
 



Well, I took it out of package.keyword and this is what I get now.

Re: [gentoo-user] How many people use KDE?

[Shawn Singh]

My wife and I use KDE. I, mainly because I don't see the point in
having multiple GUIs (they're not that facinating to me (other than to
get into the source code), but for my wife, I find that for someone
coming from using Windows, it seems that out of the box, KDE seems to
have a stronger appeal to her than Gnome. Although, the environment she
really took to was XFCE (though it's not a choice in this discussion).

In looking at Holly's post, I'm inclined to agree. Being that most of
the stuff I do (besides surf the net), but things like programming,
moving files, your general admin stuff, configuration changes, etc I
(like most of us here --probably) do from a command-line.

My selling point for the command-line is I don't have to learn any new menus to use it ;), but to each his own.

GNOME to KDE. Never liked Nautilus, though (it's tied for second on mylist of most hated file managers), and since I've never been fond ofdesktop icons and all that cr... junk... I still found it too heavy. So I
switched to Openbox 3 (with a GTK backend), and now I use fvwm-crystal(with a GTK backend). Gnome-light is (always) installed, but I don'tuse it as a desktop.I have only two KDE-specific applications that I would not do without
(both compiled -kde and -arts to the greatest extent possible): Krusader(though this needs Konq and some other KDE utils for best usage, as itrecognizes KDE apps much much better than GTK apps for viewing files and
the like), and K3b. These apps require kdebase, so I've got that, butthe day you see me logging into KDE, you can rest assured that either:1) my system is so seriously broke that it's the only DE/WM I can get
into (which is pretty unlikely. I mean, I've got iceWM and *afterstep*on the system, for Pete's sake; the day that doesn't work but KDE doeswill be... The day);or2) I have been replaced by an alien clone (shoot first, ask questions
later).I prefer to use GTK-based applications wherever possible because I findthem more attractive in general, and I'm more used to them (as a GNOMEuser originally), unless they're junk, like Totem, in which case I use
non-affiliated programs like Xine or mPlayer. Yes, I know Totem can beconfigured to use a Xine backend. Imo, there's no point; if that's theonly way Totem works, I might as well just use Xine. Plus I want to see
when gStreamer gets its act together. However I have no objection toQT-based apps (as opposed to KDE apps) when necessary. It does need tobe necessary, though (meaning, if I need it, I'll install qdvdauthor,
because there's no GTK alternative that I know of, but I can just aswell use the CLI original, unless the GUI version has some additionalfeature or makes it easier to understand than the CLI version's man page).
So anyway, Neil is of course right: use what you want; it's *your*desktop (finally!). I don't need a whole lot of GUI features (in fact Idislike a whole lot of GUI features), so KDE is not for me, the one who
never liked Windows(-like) desktops, even when I was using Windows; Iused an alternative shell from my Win98 days on. But for those who feelmore comfortable with a more Windows-like environment, and Windows-like
assumptions about what a user wants/needs from their desktop, KDE may bejust the thing; that is, after all, what it's designed to do to a greatextent.You can have it, though. I'll be elsewhere.

 Recent threads about consolekit vs logind(systemd) have made me curious, so
 I've been studying...

 A few of us have had recent problems with things like plugging USB sticks,
 which once worked transparently but now require root privileges.

 I've discovered that my own such problems are caused by this:

 $loginctl show-session 1   (I have only one session, cleverly named '1')

 Id=1
 Timestamp=Sun 2014-02-09 07:18:32 PST
 TimestampMonotonic=389744251
 VTNr=1
 TTY=/dev/tty1
 Remote=no
 Service=login
 Scope=session-1.scope
 Leader=426
 Audit=1
 Type=tty
 Class=user
 Active=no   =  should be 'yes'
 State=online  ===  should be 'active'

 Users of consolekit, don't feel neglected.  You should try this instead:

 $ck-list-sessions
 Session1:
 unix-user = '1001'
 realname = '(null)'
 seat = 'Seat2'
 session-type = ''
 active = FALSE(correct because I'm ssh'd into a remote box)
 x11-display = ':0'
 x11-display-device = '/dev/tty2'
 display-device = '/dev/tty1'
 remote-host-name = ''
 is-local = FALSE
 on-since = '2014-02-09T22:00:10.750312Z'
 login-session-id = '1'

 Canek explained that the reason my session is not 'active' is that I'm
 not using a Display Manager (gdm kdm lightdm), which talks to logind or
 consolekit and vouches for my physical presence at the local keyboard.

 However, when I do the same thing on arch linux (as a virtualbox guest)
 I see that my session (running gnome) is 'active' and I have no trouble
 powering off the virtual machine as an unprivileged user.
 
 Hi Walt; since I already have GNOME 3+systemd, I decided to install
 Xfce. Given that all the plumbing is essentially the same for both
 desktops, it took less than 15 minutes for portage to emerge it (13
 small packages).
 
 I started it like you, with exec startxcfe4 in my $HOME/.xinitrc.
 Boy, I had forgotten how desktops looked at the start of the century.

Which century?  :p

 
 Anyway, I had exactly the same problem as you; I needed my root
 password to mount USB sticks or shutdown the machine. My session was
 Active=no, State=online.
 
 As I suspected, if I started Xfce through gdm, everything worked
 without any issue; session was Active=yes, State=active, and my root
 password was not required for anything. So one workaround is to
 install gdm,  but that is ugly (and unnecessary, see below).
 
 Any ideas how I can fix it?
 
 Yeah, I found the solution on the net:
 
 http://blog.falconindy.com/articles/back-to-basics-with-x-and-systemd.html

Thank you!

 
 Basically, invoke startx passing Xorg the option of which VT you want
 to transfer for your X11 session:
 
 startx -- vt01
 
 Obviously, that only works if you are in VT 1 (Alt-F1).

What an obvious fix, once you understand the underlying problem.

BTW (thinking seat0) I typed startx --vt0  That was interesting.
(But not recommended :)  

 I owe you an apology Walter; I just assumed you had configured
 something wrong. I'm just getting used to the fact that with GNOME
 3+systemd everything kinda works immediately. Sorry.

No problem Canek.  I'd never have got this far without your suggestions
and hints.

 I really don't understand
 how could I get any work done before using GNOME Shell.

Hmm.  I think by 3.12 I'll be ready to give it another try.  Meanwhile
I'll stick to an earlier century :)
 

[gentoo-user] pycrypto-2.6-r2 fails to build

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi people!
I am trying to build pycrypto, by it fails to merge.


Always I get ACCESS VIOLATION. I didn't make the merge as user (with
sudo), I am doing it as root from a shell.

Not even a shell opened in gnome. Just in a plain terminal session.

If anybody of you could tell me where the error might be, I would kindly
thank you.

Chances are you are already using acpi, pdf, svg and tiff USE flags so 
these will cause no change if you upgrade your profile. The few 
packages in the tree that USE kerberos may need to be recompiled if 
this flag changes for you

Re: [gentoo-user] How do I get KDE to start on boot?

[Craig Michael Wayman]

Hi,

This is what I use to start kde on boot.

I let the xdm startup script launch kdm for me.

localhost ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/xdm
# Tell X to always start on VT7. Otherwise it autodetects the first available
# VT, which means it has to wait until all gettys are started so it doesn't 
suck
# up a VT that should have had a login prompt (very slow).
# If XSTATICVT is on, the login manager will start as soon as possible during
# the boot process. If you want X to dynamically start on the first unoccupied
# VT after all gettys have started and you are using xdm, also remove 
the vt7
# from /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.
XSTATICVT=yes

# What display manager do you use ?  [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ]
# NOTE: If this is set in /etc/rc.conf, that setting will override this one.
DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm

The XSESSION variable in /etc/rc.conf is commented.

I then have xdm start in the default runlevel.

localhost ~ # rc-update show default
...
 xdm | default

to add use 'rc-update add xdm default' as root

localhost ~ # rc-update add xdm default

I also have this session script in /etc/X11/Sessions:

localhost ~ # cat /etc/X11/Sessions/kde-3.5
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/kde/3.5/bin/startkde

Hope this helps,
Craig

 Indeed time reveals everything and part of this foiled plot
 revealed itself two days ago. It was said earlier in the list by
 systemd supporters, that this project is modular, fine split to
 binaries and thus critical issues in the pid 1 are not that likely.
 And just look at systemd-209 release notes:

 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-February/017146.html
 [quote] We merged libsystemd-journal.so, libsystemd-id128.so,
 libsystemd-login and libsystemd-daemon into a a single libsystemd.so
 to reduce code duplication and avoid cyclic dependencies (see below).
 [/quote]

 So all talks about systemd being modular are nothing more than
 nonsense. Guess what will happen on segfault in libsystemd.so?
 Segfaults in pid 1 are so nice to bear...

You have no idea what are you talking about, do you?

The systemd binary (you know, PID 1) *DOESN'T LINK AGAINST libsystemd.so!*

It's for consumers of systemd's APIs.

 And Canek please talk no more about how talented systemd
 programmers are or even about how professional they are, because
 they're no longer. They failed a trivial textbook example: what should
 one do when libraries A and B have some common code and cyclic deps?
 Push common code to library C. That's the Unix way and secure way.
 Creating single bloated library will help in neither fencing nor
 debugging, nor code audit.

This actually I'm even willing to discuss. They give the rationale in
the notes you linked: he reason for this is cyclic dependencies, as
these libraries tend to use each other's symbols.

It's true, they could have splitted even more the libraries, but they
instead coalesced them. If the libraries used each other symbols, then
they basically are functioning as a single module, and then it can be
argued that coalescing them is a good move.

I'm not saying I agree; I think I also would have preferred for them
to split the cycles into another library. But I give the benefit of
the doubt to the maintainers, and certainly would still think they are
talented enough.

(And again, it's a normal library, for third-party consumers, not PID 1).

 It looks like to me that ultimate goal of systemd is to consume as
 much system and user tools and interfaces as possible.

Yeah, that's the idea. They have been pretty clear and honest about
it. They want systemd to be the standard basic plumbing of Linux.

 Perhaps, in the
 ideal systemd world there will be nothing but linux-systemd kernel and
 systemd-stuff userspace.

I would call it  systemd-aware userspace, but yeah, again, that's the idea.

 Shell communication will extinct, all major
 application and daemons will be converted to systemd modules.

Why would you disallow shell communication? It's pretty useful. But it
will be complemented with dbus IPC and systemd controlled processes.
It works pretty much like this with GNOME right now.

If you don't want this, just keep using OpenRC. Nobody is forcing
systemd on you.

 Of
 course this goal will be never achieved as-is, but one may consider
 it as an asymptote of their actions.

They want systemd to be the basic plumbing of Linux, yes.

 that was exactly how I felt. All the problems to get it installed, and than

 was such a bad thing to configureuse, that I deinstalled it some days later. 
 I used earlier enlightenment incarnations as my main desktop for some time, 
 back, when KDE 2.X was dead slow, but when KDE 3 came out, enlightenment lost 
 its appeal. 

That's a bit unfair on e17, given that it's still pre-release
software. It is indeed buggy at the moment (though I should add I
haven't had any problems with more recent CVS installations), but
that's to be expected in a pre-release, and you're warned about it in
big red letters when you emerge it.

It is also a PITA to configure at the moment, but graphical menu
managers, keybinding editors, icon creaters, desktop icons, etc. are
planned before the release version, and every CVS checkout seems to
add more graphical configuration options at the moment, and reduce the
number of times I resort to the enlightenment-remote shell command.

Finally, on my ancient Pentium2 450, it uses 2-3% of cpu. In fact, I
find it more responsive than e16. So I'm not sure where the 20% comes
from. Maybe you've enabled lots of the processor intensive eye-candy,
like animated backgrounds or the snow or flames modules? Or you just
need to update to a more recent CVS release.

Without wishing to start a flame war, it's unfair to the developers to
give the impression that their software doesn't work very well without
at least mentioning it's pre-release (and therefore not expected
to!). And really, criticising it at all for being buggy and lacking
features is a little unfair. If you're not prepared to put up with
some rough edges, wait for the official release version.


Just to put in a good word for e17 to balance the discussion...

Personally, I prefer enlightenment to KDE or gnome because I don't
like the whole integrated desktop approach. I prefer my window manager
to manage windows, and leave me free to run whichever apps I like. My
ideal window manager has nothing at all on the desktop (except maybe a
wallpaper to gaze at when nothing's running), no gizmos taking up
desktop real-estate, an easy way to run my most frequently used apps
and some way to get at any others I might need occasionally, some way
to navigate between running apps, and as much as possible of this
should be manageable from the keyboard (with completely configurable
keybindings). If it does all this and looks beautiful at the same
time, so much the better!

I find that, of the traditional window managers, enlightenment comes
closest to this ideal (though I admit I've never tried FLuxbox or
IceWM - I stopped looking when I found I was happy with
enlightenment). Since a lot of e17 features are written as modules, I
can choose not to load (or often not to install) them, so only those
features I want take up disc space and memory (it's the gentoo
way!). For instance, I don't bother loading e17's start menu.
(what's the point when I have ibar and keybindings to run the apps I
use most, and the run dialogue for the rest?). But it's there for
those who want it. E17 has completely configurable keybindings, even
if they're a pain to configure at the moment, and the
enlightenment-remote command line...err...command is fantastic for
getting shell scripts to interact with the window manager.

If you've read all that, you'll not be surprised I also like ratpoison
;-) But I haven't used it long enough to get used to it yet. And I've
not got beyond installing ion yet.

Window managers are very much a personal choice, and there is no
right decision, except try out a few and decide for yourself. Which
means it's worth at least being aware that there are plenty of other
choices apart from KDE and gnome, if you're not happy with them
(unlike a certain other OS, where there's not even a single
alternative ;)

 You can mask the services you don't have by creating a soft link to

 It cleans up the output of systemctl --full --all.

 Ok, so I don't need auditd or plymouth, right?

No, you don't.

 Well, I have no idea why your gdm is not letting you log in; obviously
 it's related to polkit (since it started when you changed from
 consolekit to polkit), but nothing in your config seems to differ from
 mine. It is not impossible that somehow the configuration files of the
 gdm user got messed up when the change happened. I don't know how this
 could happen, but as a hail Mary you could delete /var/lib/gdm, and
 reemerge it so it gets a clean install.

 Tried that as well, same problems after  :-(

 Also, you have USE=pam for polkit, right?

 Yes.

 [I] sys-auth/polkit
  Available versions:  0.107-r1 0.110 {examples gtk +introspection
 kde nls pam selinux systemd}
  Installed versions:  0.110(19:19:55 30.01.2013)(gtk introspection
 nls pam systemd -examples -kde -selinux)

 And could you post the
 output from journalctl -b /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd?

 That is empty!

That's weird. *At least* it should tell you that it started and
compiled the available rules. OK, let's try to see the problem outside
systemd. First, stop polkit with:

systemctl stop polkit.service

and immediately after start it from the command line directly:

/usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --replace

the immediately thing is because polkit is dbus started, so it can
be started by systemd if anything asks for its service. Then in
another terminal stop gdm:

systemctl stop gdm.service

and start it from the command line:

/usr/bin/gdm --no-daemon  gdm.log

Since you still have the Enable=true in the [debug] section of its
config, it will spew quite a lot of info, hence the redirection to a
log file. I'm more interested in polkit's output when you try to log
in, could you send that? By default polkit doesn't log almost
anything, and I'm pretty sure the problem is with polkit refusing gdm
to log you (or create a console for you, or something like that).
Having an empty log is also weird; mine says:

Those should all be fine.  I tend to make a file per package but I think
you could have just moved your original package.use into the
/etc/portage/package.use directory and everything would be fine (aside
from you not gaining any benefit from separate files.)

[gentoo-user] Still not feeling familiar with emerge

[hkml]

Dear group,

I'm using gentoo for more than three years now and using the gentoo packaging 
system
in general is exactly what I expect from a packaging system. You just open a 
shell
somewhere on your virtual desktop, start a process and the rest is done 
automatically
(in general).

But, when it comes to packages blocking each other I simply have to guess, what 
to do next
and sometimes I fail in guessing the right things I once removed the wrong 
package,
which left me with a system without working packaging system - a very bad 
experience. In fact
I could only solve this problem by copying a dynamic library from another linux 
installation
to reanimate emerge.

So some weeks ago I was too busy to take care of some conflicts caused by the 
end of support
for KDE 3.5). I stopped updating, because I didn't have the time to switch to 
newer KDE
version and wanted to do that later on.

Now I want to upgrade, but I would like to better understand the messages 
telling me the
conflicting packets. A current call to 'emerge --update --deep --ask world' 
gives me the
following conflicts:

For me some of the messages are mysterious. What is e.g. the exact meaning of
the four components in

 ('installed', '/', 'kde-base/akregator-3.5.10', 'nomerge')

How should I resolve the conflict
  net-libs/libpcap-1.0.0-r2 versus gnome-base/gvfs-1.2.3 and 
kde-base/solid-4.3.3
I don't even have any bluetooth device in my computer. Should I fiddle with the 
USE flags of
KDE and Gnome or libpcap to avoid they pull in net-wireless/bluez?

Which packets are causing the device-mapper conflict?

What is the most secure way to switch to KDE 4? Should I remove the packages 
konqueror-akregator,
kcontrol and kicker, then update to KDE 4 and then reinstall those packets?

Maybe someone can explain how to proceed best. Are there some things I can 
check using
equery or whatsoever to support my decisions? I'm feeling unsure how to handle 
these
problems keeping the risk to leave my system (partially) unusable as small as 
possible.
Maybe someone can give me a hint, where to find more information about how to 
handle conflicts
in the packaging system.

Sorry for the long mail.

Cheers, Heinz

[gentoo-user] [OT] Six non-Gentoo installs

[Grant Edwards]

In order to do some software testing (having mostly to do with
different init systems), I installed 6 distros yesterday and this
morning (I already had both 32 and 64 bit Gentoo/Openrc systems
installed).  These were all on a single 1TB drive with a bunch of
100GB partitions that contain a Windows system and eight Linux
systems.  [There's a master installation of Grub legacy that
chainloads any one of the 9 OS partitions.]

My 6 latest installs were:

   Xubuntu 12.04
   Xubuntu 13.10
   Xubuntu 14.04
   CentOS   5.11
   CentOS   6.5
   CentOS   7.0

CentOS 5.11 was the only downloaded ISO that wouldn't boot directly
from a USB flash drive and required that a CD be burned.

The first five were all quick and uneventful and took a total of maybe
3-4 hours (including downloading the ISO images).  At each step of the
installs it was obvious what to do.  They all allowed me to use the
existing partitioning table and install both OS and bootloader into an
existing partition.  They all recognized both Ethernet adapters, and
all booted fine when chainloaded by my master copy of Grub legacy.

CentOS 7.0, however, was a mess.

It took three attempts and almost an entire day of work.

My first attempt was to use the minimal ISO image so that I would
have the option of burning a CD if needed (I can't burn DVDs at the
moment).  That was a mistake.  It was too minimal, and I couldn't get
the network working to the point where I could configure repositories
and install other stuff. Since the CentOS 7 ISO images all boot from
USB flash drive anyway, staying under the 700MB CD size limit was moot
anyway.

Next I tried the net install ISO.  I'm guessing I could have burned
the DVD image to USB drive, but all I want is a minimal desktop
system, so I figured why wait for a download of 3.5GB of stuff I don't
care about.

It still didn't recognize the NVidia Ethernet controller on my
5-year-old motherboard. After some cable swapping and futzing around,
I got the netinstall going using the Realtek NIC.

Maybe I just got unlucky and picked a slow mirror site, but once I got
the install going, it ran for over 3 hours when installing a vanilla
Gnome desktop system.  Compare that with a 15 minute download time for
a 700MB Xubuntu CD and then a 15 minute install.

CentOS 7 refused to install the bootloader in a partition: your only
choices are MBR or nothing.  When I manually installed grub legacy it
failed because I had stupidly allowed CentOS to use ext4, and the
build of Grub I had laying around didn't grok ext4.

So I re-do the whole net install again using ext3 instead.

Now, after manually installing Grub legacy in the CentOS 7 partition,
it boots up.

The next problem is that the Gnome Shell is burning 100% of the CPU
time, and a terminal window can't even keep up with my typing.  Forget
that: I can do what I want via ssh, so just disable X11.

CentOS still doesn't recognize the NVidia motherboard Ethernet
controller.  After Google finds me a pages full of links to other
people complaining about the exact same thing, I find out RedHat
decided that the NVidia forcedeth driver wasn't widely used enough to
deserve inclusion on an ISO image that was already 360+ MB.  Thanks
for that, RedHat.  So it takes another 45 minutes of faffing around
finding a third party src.rpm file for the forcedeth module and
installing it.  [It was either that or build a kernel and initrd.]

After about 7 hours I got a usable CentOS 7 system running (as long as
I don't try to use the Gnome desktop).

I'm more convinced than ever that Gentoo is the way to go for my
real systems...

Re: [gentoo-user] A few (gentoo-newbie) questions (mainly about binary packages)

 1)My main machine is a laptop, so it doesn't really have either the disk
 space for sources or CPU power to compile everything
 kernel,X,kde,openoffice ...). Is there a way to do a binary install that
 will get me a fully working system within a few hours?  

I just installed Gentoo onto a 640 MHz PIII that had a 4GB disk drive.  Upside,
it took all of about 1 hr from a 2005.1 Stage3 CD, to get to the shell.  
Downside,
2005.1 still has the old gcc, so it took a few days to upgrade gcc to 3.4, 
emerge -e system,
emerge ufed, set the USE flags, then emerge -e world.  But I only use 
Enlightenment
or fluxbox.  If you want KDE, emerge something really lightweight - fluxbox and 
rox,
then let KDE crank in the background.  Also, you'll need - laptop-mode-tools.

 
 2)How exactly do gentoo security updates work? Under Mdv, there is a
 mailing list with announcements of which RPMs to install. If I have a
 binary-based distribution, will it be possible to keep it current?
 

The is a gentoo-announce list that the security updates get sent out on.  
Typically, if
you're doing a daily syncs, the updates show up before the announcement.

 3)Is there a relatively stable fork of gentoo with less frequent
 updates, or do I have to stay on the bleeding edge? Of course I want to
 get eg the latest kernel, or firefox, but I ran Mandrake Cooker for a
 while, with  100MB of updates per day and all sorts of random breakage!
 

If you run a straight arch flag, like x86, vs unstable - ~x86, then you'll 
not see
lots of updates.  But, running a desktop means you'll see more packages 
changing.

The other consideration is Gentoo is source based.  Thus the dependencies on 
specific
revisions of libraries is somewhat relaxed.  And you control the interrelated 
dependencies.
Thus fewer packages will change vs a binary based dist.  Though with 
heavyweight desktops
like KDE and Gnome, there will be more related lib changes to occur, it's just 
the nature
of the beast.

 4)Does anyone know of a good resource for ex-mandriva users?
 

Sorry, the best thing is just go through the installation guide and the Portage 
related
documentation.  As there are no GUI based system management tools, you'll be
doing more editing of config files.  Also, leaving the world of chkconfig and 
/etc/rc.*
for rc-update, /etc/init.d/ and /etc/runlevels/{boot, default,network,single} 
will
be like a breath of fresh air.

Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice not

[Devon Miller]

OpenOffice is the one package I have decided I can do without building.

I don't know what the build does (honestly, I didn't bother too look),
but after 18 hours and 3GB of disk it still wasn't finished. This is
on an Athlon XP 1500 with 512GB Ram.

I haven't build Gnome in a while, but building all of KDE was about 7 hours.

I decided that other than for the satisfaction of saying I built it
or getting involved with developing OOo itself, I just could not
justify the cpu cycles.

I can go on emerging it (and I already started), but I was

By the way, trying emerging it, it compiled other 7 packages

I'll try to look if some USE flags are incompatible:

 Hm... and what does emerge -pu openoffice show?
 If there is no update to 2.x shown, then perhaps you could
 simply try to
 unmerge and remerge openoffice.
 Or perhaps someone has a better idea ;-).

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT?] Cannot delete symlinks which point to folders on a different filesystem

 Hi!

 I'm having a problem with Nautilus from Gnome 2.16 (I also had this
 with 2.14.x).

 On my Desktop folder, I've got a symlink:

 When I now try to move this link into the trash (by selecting it and
 pressing Del or by selecting the appropriate action from the context
 menu), I get an error message:

 (With a different user, I don't get any message at all - ie. there's
 no message and just nothing happens when I hit Del - but that's
 a different issue...)

 Well, the message is correct - the symlink points to a different
 filesystem. To a NFS mounted directory, to be exact.

 Am I doing something wrong? How can I delete symlinks to a
 different filesystem with Nautilus?

I'm afraid I am not familiar with Nautilus, but here are some thoughts which 
might help.  Could this be something related to having a following / when 
running the rm command?  What I mean is that the following two commands are 
not the same:

rm /home/alexander/Desktop/Bilder

and 

rm /home/alexander/Desktop/Bilder/

the latter will try to descend into the directory Bilder.  The former will 
only remove the symlink Bilder from the desktop directory.  Not sure how 
Nautilus runs it, although the error shows that it does not descent?

Of course all of the above may become further complicated when the command 
transcends fs mounted with restrictive access rights (as far as the shell 
executing the command is concerned).  Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable 
than I can help here.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Anybody really understand the gnu autotools?

 I'm trying to build an xfce4 applet that's not in portage. For
 reasons I don't understand there are some standard gnome headers
 that don't get pulled in during the configure process, like orbit,
 libbonobo and libbonoboui.
 
 I edited the autoconf.in to check for those standard libraries,
 and it did partly work.  The generated makefiles now have correct
 entries like LIBBONOBO_CFLAGS.
 
 The problem is that those flags are never used during the compile
 phase. So, anyone know how make that extra step happen?

Adjust Makefile.am / .in to actually use $(LIBBONOBO_CFLAGS) in those
rules (or all if unsure) where they are needed.

Have a look in the info documentation of automake/autoconf, esp. at
the samples.

(no, nobody really understands autotools)

I do. It's just m4 generating shell-scripts (plus some other easily
understood bits) from templates. And all is quite well documented.

Next, you'll tell us cmake/qmake/smake/scons/bjam etc.pp. ad nauseam
are better understood and documented and what you have to do to adjust
stuff like above. Yeah sure.

I've been building stuff for 11+ years now, most for a 99'ish
platform. In and after say '05 until '10. Believe me, I had to adjust
stuff a lot. And autotools was _BY FAR_ always the easiest to do so,
almost always just set/export a variable for configure and
*tada*. Adjusting min-version of autoconf/-make to my too old
version and running autoreconf was occasionally needed.

Sure, if requirements for a lib weren't met, the stuff wouldn't build,
but not because of the autotools or their generated makefiles, but
just because the lib would not fit.

No such luck with the other build-systems. With some of above
mentioned build-systems you have to adjust _system_ files to get
them to DTRT. BTDT.

With the autotools, you could alternatively just use

CFLAGS  += $(pkg-config --cflags libbonobo-2.0)
LDFLAGS += $(pkg-config --libs libbonobo-2.0)

in your Makefile or the corresponding CFLAGS=$CFLAGS $(...) in an
ebuild or .spec or debian/rules or whatever. Piece of cake.

(and the same for -activation if needed).
