Well, the problem turned out not to be portage related at all. Somehow, my
root system was *acting* as if it were mounted ReadOnly. mount said
otherwise. Rebooting (wince) corrected the problem.

I've started getting this: "Permission denied: access('/', W_OK)" on my

happen during the "install".
I've look at permission on / and they look normal to me. And I am running

Having just gotten my ipw2100 to be working (kind of), I want to comment on
this. This is just stupid. There's nothing wrong with having that source in
the kernel if it's not configured is there? The solution used here seems
just wrong to me.

Success, but I can't explain it all. First, I removed 'Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys" ' from xorg.conf. That got the VT working and the Zooming. But ALT-TAB wasn't working at all. Now, earlier I had problems with the WIN key not working for me as I wanted it to, and adde some xmodmap entires for the WIN key (but not the ALT key).

[gentoo-user] CTRL-ALT-NUM+
For some unknown reason, CTRL-ALT-NUM+ has stopped working for me. I'm reasonably sure it happened when I switch from KDE-monolithic to the individual KDE packages, odd as that sounds. I've sought help from #xorg and #gentoo on IRC, but no one has been able to help. I can tell you this: 1) I do not have DontZoom in my xorg.conf file. 2) xrandr lists several resolutions (more than I expected) and can switch between at least two. But the switch is different than expected, in that it changed the desktop size too. 3) X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Any ideas on how to solve this problem are appreciated.

[gentoo-user] ppp0 and iptables
When I bring up my ppp0 connection, iptables is loading a whole bunch of rules. I cannot see where iptables is being invoked (I looked through /etc/ppp/ip-up*). Any ideas? Furthermore, I cannot find where the rules it's loading are written. I've looked in /var/lib/iptables, but there is nothing there. More ideas?

Some speciall > installer, interface, packages? Not wanting to hijack the thread from the OP, but this subject interests me for the following reason. I work on a software system where one customer has about 1 systems at about 500 locations. Remote systems are categorized as one of 3 types/configurations. Automated management of them is essential, including upgrades, but seldom upgrades "to the latest and greatest" as stability is very important. Upgrades need to "just work", and not require manual intervention. Currently, they're all on Windows in one form or another (ugh!). The systems in question have very limited capabilities, and the people on site have very limited permissions. Other potential customers have similar size systems, and I certainly expect someone to realize the value of Linux for this. I'd like to have a solution in my mind when the time comes. I've considered the idea of a custom distribution to do this. There is no doubt in my mind, that any such distribtuion would be based on an existing one, with tweaks that deal with where updates come from, and what packages are availble, etc. Gentoo or Debian are the two likely candidates. I'm not *sure* a customized distribution is appropriate. David -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Solved. I had comment out the first FontPath line (/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled) because I misinterpreted the cause of an earlier problem. X was trying to start a kde-3.2 session (which had long since been removed). That failed. It then ended with an error about the reference count on this particular font path.

I've got one. MOST packages you can emerge an update, 'merge' your config files using etc-update or something, and everything is happy. But there are many packages that require more to be done. Some of these are more involved (like the X11 7.0 upgrade). Other just require (or strongly suggest) another special tool be run (gcc-config, fix_libtool_files.sh, and I seem to recall others) too. Most of these that require more tend to be 'key' to safe/proper maintenance of the system. I'd like to see an option where certain packages are not upgrade just because they're out of date, but require an additional command line argument. Additionally, a tool that I could run that tells me "the following packages are being 'held back' because a more involved upgrade" - ideally, it would also provide information on what the required steps are. I'm I crazy? David -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It tried to remerge a whole bunch of packages, and numerous ones failed due to no longer being available. I edited the emerge statement to remove things I don't really use (a lot of kde 3.4 packages), but I still get the same failure on kdebase-3.5. It also said: Warning: Failed to resolve package order. Will merge in "random" order! However, the last thing in the emerge library was a qt library. I emerged that first, and it seems to have fixed the kdebase problem.

[gentoo-user] dns at startup
When I boot my latpop, ntpdate doesn't work. It fails saying there is a "temporary failure in name resolution" it cannot lookup pool.ntp.org . After my system finishes booting, "/etc/init.d/ntp-client start" works fine. The script is running nearly last from the output, and after a few other 'network related' scripts (exim, mysql, lisa), so I don't *think* it's 'running too early'. When I look through the init.d scripts, there are a handful that 'use dns', but no one seems to provide it. I'm not sure this is the cause, but I'd like to understand why no one provides it. More important though is fixing it so ntpdate works on boot. Any pointers welcome. Thanks. David -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It WFM. Your suggestion reminded me to try a more recent kernel. That has improved things tremendously. Now, the touch pad works, but movement is *very* slow. A full width move on the touchpad is about 50 pixels. I've tried playing with the various synaptic settigns (synclient), but I can't seem to adjust this in any way I can recognize.

Re: [gentoo-user] Wacky Mouse...
This problem continues. I've discovered the following: 1) The problem shows up with gpm, as well as X 2) I can plug in a USB mouse and it works fine. 3) If I boot into Windows (ugh), the touch pad works fine. (It's a bit slow in movement, but I assume that's driver settings). What's the likely hood this a hardware problem that only shows itself in Linux and not Windows?

It's not. Further review of emerged files shows gcc, qt and glib. I doubt one of them is causing the problem, but they seem the most likely candidates anyway. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Wacky Mouse...
Today, my mouse has gone wacky. Previously I had a fine working Gentoo/X11
system on my Dell I8600. A week ago, upgraded my profile, and updated the
system, including switching to udev. I had no problem for the last week, so I
believe that all worked well.
Today, I did another update ("emerge -uavD world"), and started to muck with
user-mode linux. This did necessitate a rebuild of my kernel, and a reboot.
When I was done, my pointer is wacky.
"Wacky" mean the pointer is largely "stuck" near the bottom left corner of the
display. Any attempt to move it generates a great deal of flashing of the
pointer. When I start X, the pointer appears dead center of the screen,
until I touch the touchpad at which point it jumps to the bottom left area of
the screen.
I've reviewed what was emerged, and I don't think anything is likely to have
caused this problem. I've tried changing my config to not use the synaptics
drive, but that had no effect.
Any ideas?
David

A phrase I often use myself. I guess I got in the an "email dependency rut".
That did it, btw. Thanks. I think it was the .Xauthority file.

[gentoo-user] KDM problem
Some time back after an emerge, I found out that logging into KDM would always fail. That is authentication appears to pass, the screen turns black, and then it brings me back to the KDM login screen. 1) What script(s) is KDM running when it authenticates a user. 2) What log files should I look in for problems? startx works find, loading KDE (3.3) without a problem.
