As Ryan said, the procedure is to unmerge openmotif and then run the emerge again to install motif-config, but I myself would investigate before doing this whether or not I wanted or needed motif-config at all, and whether it would support the needs I had up to this point used openmotif for. A block can also be solved by not requesting one of the packages at all, because it turns out to be unnecessary. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Kitchensync, Ksync, Multisynk
Hi There! Can anyone here shed some light on the connection between these three apps? I'm working on getting my iPAQ (3970) to sync with KDE. And it is working now with syncekonnector which is now in portage. It just suddenly worked after I played around a bit with these things. I Just don't understand how they work together and documentation seems to be very limited. As I understand it till now mulltisynk (with k in the end) seems to be a frontend to Ksync which seems to be an application for syncing PDAs.

[gentoo-user] Influencing mount options of hal/udev/gnome-volume-manager/pmount?

How to do that? Is the correct way to add appropriate lines to /etc/fstab? I now added /dev/sda1 /media/usbdiskauto rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,users,gid=plugdev,umask=077,sync,noauto 0 0 and the device gets mounted with these options.

[gentoo-user] ADSL confusion after update
Hi, I recently did update my machine (didn't do so for a year mehide :) . It is likely that I messed up some things because I'm still not that familiar with portage/emerge as I should be, but I call this learning by doing ;-) . Today I'd ask for help concerning adsl. My machine automatically connects during boot, and this works great. When I shutdown the machine, I get an error that adsl doesn't seem to run. When trying to do an adsl-stop manually, I evenly get this message: adsl-stop: No ADSL connection appears to be running adsl-status is a bit more verbose: adsl-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.pppoe) And in fact, the file that the script is looking for simply doesn't exist: ls /var/run/ | grep adsl 63-adsl.pid 63-adsl.pid.pppd 63-adsl.pid.pppoe pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.start I checked /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf and found the following lines: CF_BASE=`basename $CONFIG` PIDFILE=/var/run/$CF_BASE-adsl.pid It appears to me that adsl-start creates another file that is searched by adsl-status or adsl-stop. But I wonder how this can be fixed? I really prefer to be able to kill my adsl connection without shutting down the machine, so any hints (even RTFM) are much appreciated.

[gentoo-user] installing /usr/portage/games*
Hello, I've got a gentoo machine for kids (actually several), who have requested more games.

Rather that go throught them one at a timne, I'll like to install everything possilbe in these dirs and create a list of games so that if a games is not automagically added to the menu (like enigma was but smclone nor froze-bubble where) then an index could exist to the games could be browzed by name and launched into the framebuffer, ascii session or whatever the games needs. Some will not be loadable at all from the menu editor under KDE (framebuffer or ascii games). So I'd like a list of all of the games with the paths so they can be launched manually. The games that can be launched from the KDE menu, it would be nice if they were automatically included in the menu, without having to invoke the menu editor manually for this. For example, adding supermario (smclone) it had to be manually included into the KDE setup for each user with a login account. I have the kde games installed but many more exist. What I'm really looking for is a simple command syntax string or script (program) to run that loads every game conceivable onto the machine.

[gentoo-user] Best way to install RPMs on Gentoo
I've got a couple of RPM-based programs to install (there's also an option to install their .deb equivalent). What is the best way to install the RPMs on Gentoo? I personally prefer apt from Debian but couldn't find that in Portage. The only thing I was able to locate with rpm. The main thing I'm looking to do is maintain full compatibility with Gentoo, rather than having init scripts put rc.x directories and such.

Thanks in advance for your help. ~ Tom Well, maintaining full compat with gentoo while installing RPMs is a contradiction. Each install system handles dependencies differently and do not communicate with each other. You will need to examine each RPM for the packages it needs and then see that your gentoo rig has the packages (ebuilds) installed. The easiest way is by examining the spec file. Then, go ahead and install with --nodeps. This will allow the RPM to go ahead and install itself without wanting to pull in the whole universe. Gentoo does not have any RPM database. Lastly, consider filing a bug report to suggest an ebuild for any RPM packages you think may benefit others. Phil's suggestion is also excellent and you certainly should try that too.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Re: Win4Lin Pro install errors
Actually, Pro IS the server product... What makes them different is the license code. They haven't officially released the Terminal Server product yet in that they're not officially advertising it. What I've got is the initial release of Pro. And if you look at the User Manual for Pro, you'll see a section for the Terminal Server functionality. I'm not sure if I'll be sticking with their Pro version of TS or not. I currently use WTS 3.0--we use it for compatibility purposes. We have a large number of Access 97 databases that aren't compatible with Office 2003--so WTS 3.0 is running Win98SE and Office 97 until we can get all the database converted. The biggest problem with WTS 3 is that the fricking Num Lock doesn't work on ANY Linux distro I've tried EXCEPT MDK 9.2. My MDK server is having some serious issues and needs to be replaced. I'm hoping to be able to get Pro working on Gentoo so I can get rid of MDK--only time will tell, I'll have two months to test it. It's odd you say bad things about Pro. I've seen several other comments about it and they've all been good. What types of issues are you or other people having with it?

There's also app-portage/genlop, quite nice for doing various things:
genlop is really nice, I use it all the time, but I don't think it has an
option to find all packages installed after a particular package. It
would be a nice variation on the --date option.
Isn't the output in chrono order?
This is exactly why I wrote 'echanges' perl script:
I have a small perl script, 'echanges', that determines the latest
timestamp for installed packages; I find it very helpful to determine
what my daily cron of 'emerge -uD world' has done. I will post it
here if there is any interest;
The manual page follows:
NAME
echanges - display the timestamp for installed Gentoo packages.
SYNOPSIS
echanges [options]
options:
--help | -?this page ( ddd ).
--man complete man page.
--since=dt | -s dt packages since dt[yesterday,nbr{h|d|w|y}]
[DEFAULT: all].
--time | -tsort descending by timestamp [DEFAULT].
--reverse | -rreverse the sort order.
--progress | -pprint progress to STDERR.
examples:
# display timestamps for all installed packages in descending
# order by timestamp:
$ echanges
# display timestamps for packages installed/updated since yesterday
# in ascending order by timestamp with a progress hint:
$ echanges --since=yesterday --time --reverse --progress
# display timestamps for packages installed/updated since two days ago
# in descending order by package name:
$ echanges -rns 2d
# to see the complete manual:
$ echanges --man
DESCRIPTION
echanges tracks the latest Gentoo package installs/updates. I find it
very helpful in knowing when I should restart my user sessions ( after a
kde update ), compile the kernel and reboot ( after new kernel sources
), and when to run *etc-update*, among other uses.
Internally, this perl script issues equerys ( *equery* in *gentoolkit*
). First a list of all installed packages is obtained with:
equery -C list
Next, for each package installed, the following equery is issued:
equery -C files --timestamp --filter=obj package-name
This list is processed to get the timestamp of the most recent file and
associate that timestamp with the package.
Finally, the list of packages with timestamps is filtered according to
the options passed ( see OPTIONS below ) and displayed.
OPTIONS
--since=time -or- -s time
Only display packages since 'time', where time can be one of:
yesterday
24 hours ago.
numberh
'number' hours ago.
numberd
'number' days ago.
numberw
'number' weeks ago.
numberm
'number' months ( 30 days ) ago.
numbery
'number' years ago.
DEFAULT:
All packages selected.
--time -or- -t
Sorts in descending order by timestamp [DEFAULT].
--name -or- -n
Sorts in ascending order by package name.
--reverse -or- -r
Reverses the sort selected.
--progress | -p
Print progress ( currently processing package ) to STDERR.
*echanges* can take a long time on slower systems with many packages
installed; use --progress if you need assurance that all is well.
REQUIRES
Gentoo Linux with the *gentoolkit* installed:
emerge gentoolkit
SEE ALSO
Gentoo documentation and *equery* documentation in the *gentoolkit*.

Re: [gentoo-user] BASH 3.1 - DON't UPGRADE
I understand that anyone with ~x86 in make.conf would get an upgrade like that.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kitchensync, Ksync, Multisynk
On Friday 23 December 2005 10:58, Robin wrote: The question is that when is OpenSync going to be stable... And part of portage ? To answer that, the KitchenSync part of KDE will utilize OpenSync as a means of communicating with different devices. However, it's currently being developed in KDE4, which doesn't have a specific roadmap. So far from what I can tell, syncekonnector provides the current system for getting connected from KitchenSync/Kontact to a PocketPC device. I've tested this with my IPAQ on a stable chroot, and it works nicely in syncing contacts. However, calendars seem to be an issue as far as syncronization goes. One can technically use MultiSync with libsynce to syncronize a PDA as well, but MultiSync is not KDE specific, and requires some gnome libararies. For Palm users, KPilot is what I use. It does a spectacular job of syncing my Palm contacts, and I use it all the time when doing my business endeavours (read that as, who to pester ;). So that's basically what it comes down to.

[gentoo-user] ls of /
Back to Gentoo. And battling my own errors... LOL Perhaps I shouldn't have written that :) I have a problem, I can't do ls / as that produces the error: ls: .: Permission denied I can however, cd to the root directory and I can list all other directories (that I've tried anyway). So I got the brilliant idea of adding user to the root directory in fstab. For those with similar inclinations I can now, from my own hard earned experience, tell you: don't. It is *not* a good idea! The box won't boot... I got cannot execute /sbin/agetty and Id cN respawning too fast (where N is number 1-6) and the boot process is stuck. Not even ctrl-alt-delete works.

[gentoo-user] Easy way to unmerge all of KDE?
Hi guys, and Holly, I have a rig that I need to free up some space on the hard drive. I want to remove KDE completely. Naturally doing a emerge unmerge kde does not get the job done. What is a easy way to do this? I did a emerge -ep world | grep kde but it is one heck of a list. It's 6 pages long in OOo. There has to be a easy way. Be gentle with me now. I'm learning. Oh, if it is a mile long, give me a map of what it is doing. Sort of explain it's thinking to me a bit. I do now what the pipe thing is though. That can be neat. Would be nice if unmerge kde would work though. Thanks. Dale :-) -- To err is human, I'm most certainly human.
