I'm not going to try that. It sounds iffy. Huh, spell check liked that word. I'm thinking about going backward if I can. It used to work. Maybe it is still in portage. Dale :-) :-)

They seem to have an explanation on the webpage: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=44998 The 4GB limit is due to Qt3 limits on 32-bit architectures. They don't mention if it affects also 64-bit systems. But in other news there, they seem to have released kbackup 0.6 just a month ago, which incidentally among other things removes the 4GB limit: "- Port to cmake and KDE4/Qt4, which also removes the 4GB limit per file" -- Arttu V.

Mine will only let me type in 3 numbers. Examples: 300 or 600 It will
not accept Gb or anything over 999

I renamed that file with .old on the end to test whether that file maybe
had bad data or something. It generated a new file but same problem. I
forgot to mention that in my post tho.

I did reemerge kbackup and the problem was still the same. I'm not real
sure when this started or what updates were done to start this. I'm
pretty sure qt has been updated here as well and is even being updated
again as I type.
I also noticed that when I try to use a saved profile that does a 4Gb
slice. it errors out after a couple slices. Sorry, didn't save the
error. It won't let me change the slice size on the saved profiles
either. I can go down but not up.
Weird huh? I'm good at finding these weird problems.

If by "Gb" you mean the spinner to the right of the dropdown stating
"custom" then yes, over here it lets me type in numbers ("2000"), and
automatically adds "MB" once that widget loses focus.
But I just installed kbackup-0.94-r1 from scratch on this amd64 box
two minutes ago. So, e.g., my ~/.kde/share/config/kbackuprc only has
the window dimensions saved. Maybe yours has some more settings saved
in there?

kbackup uses kde 3.5 and I've noticed that on some of my boxes they've
been rebuilt quite often over last few weeks, alongside the underlying
qt libraries (which I presume provide the base of those widgets as the
underlying toolkit). So, maybe you can try re-emerging kbackup and/or
check the sanity state of the whole thing with revdep-rebuild?

[gentoo-user] Kbackup and dvd sized slices
HI, I'm in the process of doing a set of DVD backups for some of my data. I usually tell it to do them in a DVD sized slice. That option appears to have disappeared from the menu. Could someone who has it installed check to see if they have the option available? In case you are not to familiar with it, open kbackup, then under the File menu, select Profile Settings. A box should pop up and if you click the little button under Maximum Archive Size, it should show the available options. Mine has unlimited, 650Mb CD, 700Mb CD and custom. The custom will not let me enter anything in Gb. Here is some info for my system in case I did something wrong: > r...@smoker / # emerge --info > Portage 2.2_rc33 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, > glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.25-gentoo-r9 i686) > = > System uname: > Linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r9-i686-AMD_Athlon-tm-_XP_2500+-with-glibc2.0 > Timestamp of tree: Sat, 20 Jun 2009 04:45:01 + > app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 > dev-java/java-config: 2.1.7 > dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r2 > dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4 > sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 > sys-apps/sandbox:1.6-r2 > sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 > sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 > sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 > sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 > sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 > virtual/os-headers: 2.6.29 > ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" > CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" > CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" > CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" > CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config > /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" > CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d > /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild > /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" > CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" > DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" > EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y" > FEATURES="buildpkg distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch preserve-libs > protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" > GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ > ftp://lug.mtu.edu/gentoo/ " > LANG="en_US" > LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" > LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" > LINGUAS="en_US en" > MAKEOPTS="-j2" > PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" > PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" > PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--timeout=600" > PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times > --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 > --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" > PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" > PORTDIR="/usr/portage" > SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" > USE="3dnow X acl acpi alsa amd arts artswrappersuid automount berkdb > bzip2 cairo cddb cdr chroot cli cracklib crypt cups curl dbus dri dvd > dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo exif fam fdftk fortran gdbm gif > gimp gkrellm gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk hal hbci htmlhandbook iconv > ipv6 isdnlog java javascript jbig jpeg jpeg2k justify kde ldap > libnotify libwww logrotate loop-aes mad midi mikmod mmx mng mp3 mpeg > mplayer mudflap ncurses nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ofx ogg > opengl openmp pam parport pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 > qt3support qt4 quicktime readline realmedia reflection sdl seamonkey > session spell spl sqlite sse ssl startup-notification svg sysfs syslog > tcl tcpd tiff tk truetype unicode usb vorbis webkit win32codecs wma > wmf wmp x86 xml xorg xv yahoo zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" > ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty > extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul > mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" CAMERAS="canon > ptp2" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" > KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="en_US en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv" > Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, > PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY > > r...@smoker / # emerge -1vp kbackup > > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > > Calculating dependencies... done! > [ebuild R ] app-backup/kbackup-0.5.4-r1 USE="-debug -xinerama" > LINGUAS="-de -es -fr -it -pt -ru -sk -sv" 0 kB > > Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB > r...@smoker / # There is really not a USE flags to change on this one.
