Sorry, my reply was a bit confusing. I was referring to the
DISPLAYMANAGER setting and assumed you were, since you use kdm. If you
set the use of gdm or kdm in DISPLAYMANAGER then XSESSION is ignored, so
each user chooses their window manager when they log in. XSESSION is only
used with xdm or startx.

Once an emerge get into the portage tree, the standard (and rarely, if 
ever violated) waiting time before they become stable is 30 days.

I've installed a few kde-3.5 packages without problem.  I have a friend 
that's been running it since beta 2.  Since you seem to be very 
interested in this package, I encourage you to unmask it by adding 
'=cat-egory/package-3.5* ~x86' to your /etc/portage/package.keywords 
for each of the kde-3.5 packages you want to install.  With the new 
style meta ebuilds you can install package by package OR try and do the 
whole thing by emerging kde-meta.  You'll still have to add each 
package to your /etc/portage/package.keywords.

The whole point of ~arch is testing, bug reports will help refine the 
ebuilds.

As I understand it, yes.  To see which flags a particular package can
specify you can either run:

# emerge -uDpv package_name (just as you did above) 
==

or you could try the equery command of the gentoolkit, e.g.:
==
# # equery uses gnumeric

[ Legend  : (U) Col 1 - Current USE flags]
[ : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ]

No, that's not what you do. You *NEVER* set a flag with a +.
It's an error. To enable, you write the name of the flag.
To disable, you prepend it with a -.

Re: [gentoo-user] stage3 packages

2005-12-02 Thread darren kirby
quoth the Cláudio Henrique:
 Hi, Darren,

 I've already tried this command before sending the other message. And I've
 noticed that packages like qt and kde-libs are also included in this
 emerge -ep system. So I concluded this is not what I am looking for.

Odd. I tested on my system before posting, and all the packages listed did 
appear to be the base system packages. Though, this system was built from 
Stage 1. Perhaps that is the cause of this discrepancy.

I have attached the output from my system, in case it might help you. Please 
note that you cannot place too much stock in the version numbers, as they 
will not match the version numbers of the packages current when the Stage 3 
was built...

 What I really want is a list of packages that would be emerged if I execute
 the command emerge -e world in a machine with only the stage 3 installed.

 I didn't want to uncompress stage3 to check wich packages it contais.

 []s,
 Claudio.

HTH,

ok im installing gentoo on a gateway laptop mx7515

ok im gona start with what works and how i started my install
i started install off of ubunto linux live cd (supported unboard net-work 
card )im using no highmem support in 32bit build 

net =after had gentoo installed i downloaded the network driver to patch 
kernel from vendor so ehternet will work  lspci of network card

video = use newest atidriver from www.ati.com install and compile manualy may 
have to setup links for fglrx module so modprobe sees it enable agp support 
so it works ( note laptop is pcie but driver dont build correct without agp ) 
i started my ati mess with trying to use emerge ati-drivers this will hard 
lock system with current drivers inorder to get video do not compile agp 
support i was only  able to get 2d support (agp support with stable drivers 
hard lock system )  note you can not use a gui login manager aswell it will 
hard lock system whrn you exit to log in as another user soloution to this is 
to use startx only . (note no frame buffer vesa or redaon is built in 
kernel )  (please get nvdia based video card they work much bettter )

sound= works with ati-ixp driver must mute external amp switch to get sound 
power management= the cpu power control works fine suspend  

moving now to things that dont work or do yet dont .

usb = usb 1.1 works but usb2 does not appear to work i really need help with 
this problem . ok according to everything usb2.0 looks good and should work  
at the bottomof this email  is lspci dmesg and dmesg when hooking up a usb2 
device and output . notice in the dmesg it says that there is 8 ports found 
on usb2.0 hub and 4 port on usb 1.1 this laptop only has 4 usb ports

wireless = used ndiswrapper emerge ndiswrapper fails download and compile and 
install from source works but complains that i should enable 16k stack kernel 
i pulled the drivers from the first cd that you make in gateways crappy 
backup program i got to the point that it sees the hardware loads and the 
light lights up once changing the mode to ad-hoc i can see my wireless ap i 
can sett the essid to the correct name but cant connect . this is something i 
would like to resolve but usb is more important. this may also have something 
todo with acpi not working the correct way unknown i dont know to much about 
acpi to tell 

acpi = acpi seems to work but computer has a MSFT acpi on it i have found a 
page that recomends to fix it and it may help with some problems using intels 
acpi compilier spitsout some errors and warings if someone would like to help 
me fix this i would be willing to provide any information . i dont really 
know how to make the changes to patch my acpi but if someone would help i 
would give them any information the laptop procides 

system time = the clock seems to become out of sync very fast i would like to 
resolve this problem to with apic enabled the clocks supper fast  ie screen 
saver set for 40 mins  came on in 5 mins etc

it seems this laptop uses ati's chipset for board related things and it seems 
to be newly supported so maybe things will imporve

[gentoo-user] [Not specifically Gentoo] Forcing a new IP address with DHCP

2005-12-02 Thread John J. Foster
Good afternoon,

I have a Linksys WRT54GS router running openWRT firmware that gets its
IP via DHCP from my ISP. That's all working fine. I also have an account
with dyndns.org that is supposed to get updated when my IP changes. This
is where I've screwed something up because it's wasn't. I think I have
it configured properly now, but won't know until my IP changes again.
I'm going on the road for a few weeks, and will need to access my home
machine, so I'd like to test this out.

So, first off, is there a way for the network startup script to say

Expire this lease and give me a different IP address?

If not, is anyone here familiar with openWRT, udhcpc, ez-ipupdate and dyddns.org
configurations? I'd be glad to take this offline if it's too un-Gentoo
specific.

Thanks,
John

 I understand that ooo-kde is no longer needed, but taking out makes no

[gentoo-user] GCC-3.4 will be marked stable in ~1 hour on x86

2005-12-02 Thread Mark Loeser
GCC 3.4 has finally been marked stable on x86. No one will have their
compiler automatically switched to gcc-3.4 after it is installed, so you can
handle the migration to using it as your system compiler when you have time.
To assist you in the migration we have made a GCC migration guide[1].

For support issues, #gentoo is the place to receive help. Bugs found in
the course of this upgrade should be filed under the Gentoo Linux product,
and GCC Porting component on Gentoo's Bugzilla[2].


That being said, I will be committing it in approximately 1 hour, which means
you will need to wait for it to get all of the mirrors, which will take a bit
longer after that.

rc-status nor 'ps aux | grep iptable will show iptables is

Re: [gentoo-user] [Not specifically Gentoo] Forcing a new IP address with DHCP

2005-12-02 Thread Ryan Tandy



Good afternoon,
 



It's evening here, but I get the general idea. :)


I have a Linksys WRT54GS router running openWRT firmware that gets its
IP via DHCP from my ISP. That's all working fine. I also have an account
with dyndns.org that is supposed to get updated when my IP changes. This
is where I've screwed something up because it's wasn't. I think I have
it configured properly now, but won't know until my IP changes again.
 



In the configuration on the dyndns website, enter an IP for your entry 
that you know is wrong.  Wait the interval you configured and see if it 
updates to the correct one.  Also, there should be an option somewhere 
to force your dyndns client to update immediately, but I'd recommend 
waiting the interval just to make sure that works too.  Maybe turn it 
down to 5 minutes or something to reduce the wait. ;)



I'm going on the road for a few weeks, and will need to access my home
machine, so I'd like to test this out.

So, first off, is there a way for the network startup script to say

Expire this lease and give me a different IP address?
 


man udhcpc

I use the ISC dhclient (net-misc/dhcp), which can be signalled to 
release and renew its IP lease.  There should be an option in any client 
to release its IP lease and renew it again, but your ISP will usually 
give you the same one anyway if it's available - and there's no way to 
tell it not to do that.



If not, is anyone here familiar with openWRT, udhcpc, ez-ipupdate and dyddns.org
configurations? I'd be glad to take this offline if it's too un-Gentoo
specific.
 

no, no, no, and yes.  I run ddclient on my Gentoo router to update my 
dyndns entry (tarpman.homelinux.com).



Thanks,
John

 OK, then we're back to the OP question: how does one control the 
 xterm_clipboard flag?

As said (several times)-- by enabling the vim-with-x USE flag.

/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:app-editors/vim:vim-with-x - Link
console vim against X11 libraries to *enable title and clipboard features*
in xterm

Enabling the USE flag enables the ./configure option. If dependencies
are needed to satisfy the option, they will be installed automatically
before the package itself emerges.

*This is what USE flags do*-- they enable or disable optional support
for stuff, enabling you to customize your system and its packages. So if
I don't need the clipboard features of vim, I don't have to have them,
but if you do, you can.

Voila! It's Gentoo!! :-) .

 convert inputfilename -transparent color outputfilename

color can be specified by name (white) or rgb values. cf. 
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php

And since the file is created in pbrush, there's a slight possibility
the file didn't support transparency to start with. You can set the
outputfilename to foo.png and let convert change to format also...

[gentoo-user] Re: Still not getting how to influence compile flags with emerge

2005-12-02 Thread Harry Putnam
This thread had been very educational for me, I'd always felt kind of
swamped by the whole use flag setup.  I feel like I learned a lot
here.

Thanks for your efforts posters.  I think I'll scrap my vim-cvs built
from source that I quickly compiled in the middle of all this to get a
decent middle mouse paste without stepping.  Now I know what use flag
will give me that result.

He is not kidding either.  My /var is on my / partition and that puppy
got big while compiling OOo.  It's back to normal now though.  It just
needs the extra space during the compile is all.

That is a similair error to what I got from KDE when it crashed on
another rig.  It makes sense at least.

 As you can see your problem with gnome comes from evolution-data-server 
 (lot of gnome in this) so if you want to get rid of it just remove
 evolution data server support by adding a -eds to your use flags or
 just do
 #echo =app-office/openoffice-2.0.0 -eds  \ 
 /etc/portage/package.keywords
Sorry it shuold say package.use instead of package.keywords

 Hello everybody,

 For those of you who have been following my thread re:
 NV_SATA, thanks to Richard Fish, the drive is now seen
 but the kernel still panics after the last coherent
 message Using IPI shortcut mode. Seems it still
 can't mount the root fs although

From a previous posting of your kernel config, I see that you have:

CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK=y
CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO=y

The above are normally disabled, so I would try taking them out and
see if you have better luck.

Other than that, double (and triple) check that it really is a
reiserfs filesystem, because it should be working.

Re: [gentoo-user] GCC-3.4 will be marked stable in ~1 hour on x86

2005-12-02 Thread Andrew Gaydenko
Now I have masked =sys-devel/gcc-3.4 (and use ~x86). Are there any reason
to move to 3.4?

GCC 3.4 has finally been marked stable on x86. No one will have their

To assist you in the migration we have made a GCC migration guide[1].

For support issues, #gentoo is the place to receive help. Bugs found in
the course of this upgrade should be filed under the Gentoo Linux product,
and GCC Porting component on Gentoo's Bugzilla[2].


That being said, I will be committing it in approximately 1 hour, which means
you will need to wait for it to get all of the mirrors, which will take a bit
longer after that.

 if httrack is runing as root all stuff goes to /root/websites/ , explored
 there?

I wasn't running it as root. The strange thing is that httrack did start 
creating a directory structure in ~/websites consisting of a couple of dozen 
directories or so (e.g. 
~/websites/politics/www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/), but it didn't 
actually store any html or other site content, despite the fact that it was 
taking a very long time to do this and was claiming to have downloaded 
hundreds of files.

Hi,
From this it seems you're using a hardened GCC (the vanilla is the one wo any 
patches).
But to really use it you must be using also a hardened profile or (by memory)
have hardened pie in your USE-flags to get a hardened binary (check hardened 
project).
