Read the changelog and decide for yourself.
emerge --changelog gcc will show you the changes and the reason for
the upgrade.

 I really don't want to do a emerge -e world or rebuild a lot right now. 
 I am glad to see the new Scribus though.  ;-)

You don't have to do an emerge -e- world for a minor update to GCC. Maybe
when you go from 3.3 to 3.4, or 3.4 to 4.0, but not for this.

 Jerry, I'm not understanding the signicance of that.

You used a wrong term. That's all.

  Ping is

Well, no. ping is sending icmp packages. And it'll also
resolve hostnames. But that's not the main purpose of
ping. For resolving hostnames, there's host or nslookup.

 Because the services you want to connect to are not available.

 
 Yes, it does, thank you.  How do I find out why they're not available, though?

In the logs. Is leafnode using xinetd, or is it run
as a standalone service? Try to restart the service
(be it xinetd or leafnode) and watch the logs. Try
to connect to leafnode and watch the logs.

I ran into something similar earlier with rxvt.  Changing RgbPath in

[gentoo-user] Alsa build problem

 The stock firmware does not show up as a USB block device under either

I tried it on my iFP-895 and didn't like it at all. The proprietary

does some 700-800 kB/s on my USB 1.1. The USB Mass Storage

slow...

you don't have to.

As long as you are not updating to gcc4 you never need to make an emerge -e

Have you checked that arts was in your USE flags when you recompiled kde?

Have you checked your kde settings (probably kde was configured with

[gentoo-user] Multiple whatis hits

2006-03-28 Thread Matthias Bethke

I was wondering about those multiple hits I get every time I use
whatis(1) or apropos(1) these days. Everything is listed three times,
which is kind of annoying. It's not too hard to find the culprit if you
look at whatis: /etc/man.conf lists /usr/man and /usr/X11R6/man as
separate entries for MANPATH but these are both links to /usr/shar/man
where the actual whatis-db lives. Now that's easy to fix, but I was
wondering
a) why it is like that in the default config (I don't think man.conf is
built dynamically depending on whether e.g. you install X11?) and
b) whether the best way to fix it would be to simply change man.conf or
convert /usr/man and /usr/X11R6/man to real directories and ask portage
for all manpages that are supposed to be installed there and move them
from /usr/share/man manually?

cheers!

 Have you checked that arts was in your USE flags when you recompiled kde?
 
 Have you checked your kde settings (probably kde was configured with

recompiling kde does not have to be painful, just do it

[gentoo-user] Problem with Summer Time setting

2006-03-28 Thread Michael Kintzios

Hi All,

This has been talked to death.  I never recall having any problems
setting my system clock and getting it to automatically adjust to the
British Summer Time change.

I recently moved my fs from my desktop to a laptop.  Unfortunately, the
time change did not happen - I think that the fs was in limbo at the
time the clock changed as I was moving it from one machine to the other.
Since booted on the lappy it is still showing winter time (GMT), while
the desktop system clock has happily changed over to the +1hr summer
time setting.

My /etc/localtime is pointing to /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC (it was
originally pointing to GMT but I changed it in an effort to fix it).

My /etc/conf.d/clock is set to CLOCK=UTC.

I am not knowingly using NTP, python scripts or anything else to sync my
system clock with the Internet/network.

Is there anything else I am supposed to look into?

 My /etc/conf.d/clock is set to CLOCK=UTC.

In this case, there isn't any clock change. The time is just displayed

 Is there anything else I am supposed to look into?

Your HW (bios) clock. Make sure you have CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes

adjusted to system clock.

[gentoo-user] VMWare (Gentoo) Linux

2006-03-28 Thread Jeff

Hey all.

I have a question for any VMWare Linux users. My greatest concern, is
Windows being installed and run on top of Linux. When Windows is
'virtually' up and running, does it work as normal? AKA, does it detect
devices and what not, enabling printing, networking, etc? With Windows
running under VMWare, are you able to scan the host operating system's
file system in any way?

I haven't used VMWare for a very long time. Just wanted to get some input.

Thanks much!

Hey all.I have a question for any VMWare Linux users. My greatest concern, isWindows being installed and run on top of Linux. When Windows is
'virtually' up and running, does it work as normal? AKA, does it detectdevices and what not, enabling printing, networking, etc?

VMWare basically emulates a subset of PC hardware (an Intel processor,
RAM, graphics, sound, and network cards). These are usually
VMWare-specific or very common hardware devices, but VMWare releases
the specifications for, e.g. its graphics-card emulation so that people
can write drivers for them. AFAIK, all current versions of Windows
should run on VMWare.

No modification of the guest operating system beyond choosing the
correct drivers is required; Windows should do this itself. You may
experience some difficulty if you attempt to use the same partition for
both a VMWare-hosted guest OS and standalone, i.e. running it on the
hardware rather than in VMWare.

VMWare should give you:

SVGA graphics

Centronics printer interface

Networking

CD-ROM drive

USB ports (??)

You will NOT be able to use any hardware from Windows that the host
(presumably Gentoo Linux) cannot use itself. Conversely, if the
hardware device is supported in Windows then VMware can use it to
provide functionality not available in another system. (For example, I
use FreeBSD under VMWare on a Windows XP laptop so that I can use its
network bridging functionality to take advantage of wireless
networking.)
With Windowsrunning under VMWare, are you able to scan the host operating system's
file system in any way?I haven't used VMWare for a very long time. Just wanted to get some input.Thanks much!-Jeff
If you make a hard drive from a file (the default), you will be
able to use any tools you would use on a normal Linux file, but e.g.
you will not be able to write to NTFS unless you set up shares between
the host and guest using samba. If you install the guest OS directly
onto a hard drive or partition, then you will be limited to using the
partition and filesystem-editing tools in Linux, but again you can use
samba to network the host and guest filesystems.

Iptables is right, that line is nonsense.

 Hi All,

 This has been talked to death.  I never recall having any problems
 setting my system clock and getting it to automatically adjust to the
 British Summer Time change.

 I recently moved my fs from my desktop to a laptop.  Unfortunately, the
 time change did not happen - I think that the fs was in limbo at the
 time the clock changed as I was moving it from one machine to the other.
 Since booted on the lappy it is still showing winter time (GMT), while
 the desktop system clock has happily changed over to the +1hr summer
 time setting.

 My /etc/localtime is pointing to /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC (it was
 originally pointing to GMT but I changed it in an effort to fix it).

Shouldn't that point to /usr/share/Europe/London?

please post the output of iptables -vnL. We're talking about users on

correct?

 Also I have some diffulties understanding Connection Tracking(NEW,
 ESTABLISHED, RELATED, INVALID) concept.

Those are protocol dependant. I really think that those are well
described even in iptables man page. Basically, you'll want sth like
this:
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
and maybe the same for FORWARD. Of course, for FORWARD, you'll want to
match NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED for outgoing connections (well, or even
don't impose any restrictions for outgoing connections).

 Any practical guide available on internet for iptables???

Lots. That practical depends on the problem faced which you didn't
describe at all. So del.icio.us would be my first hint, Google follows:

 So we have to get Java back into your path... I've
 got Sun Java, so mine 
 will be slightly different than yours, but in your
 /etc/env.d/ and 
 /etc/env.d/java directory you should have a couple
 of files in there.  
 First you will have something like
 /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10.  
 Each file in /etc/env.d/java/ represents each
 version of java you have 
 installed on your system (thus you could have
 multiple versions and 
 switch between them).  my
 /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 contains 
 the following.

 ENV_VARS=JAVA_HOME JDK_HOME JAVAC ADDPATH ADDLDPATH
 MANPATH
 
 You should also have something like
 /etc/env.d/20java  This would be the 
 version of java you currently have set (active).  In
 my case, because I 
 only have one java installed, it will largely be the
 same.  its contents 
 are:
 
 # Autogenerated by java-config
 # Command: --set-system-vm=sun-jdk-1.4.2.10
 JDK_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10

 MANPATH=${MANPATH}:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/man
 JAVA_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10
 
 Now if you have a file in
 /etc/env.d/java/something but don't have an 
 /etc/env.d/20java (or if you do, it is empty), then
 you should be able 
 to fix that with java-config (man java-config). 
 However if both files 
 /etc/env.d/java/something and /etc/env.d/20java
 seem legit, then we 
 need to see why bash isn't sourcing the env.d files.
  In fact now that I 
 think about it, that might be your problem, as your
 path did seem to be

[gentoo-user] automatically adding a new user to cdrom group?

2006-03-28 Thread Schleimer, Ben

Would it be reasonable to request that useradd
automatically adds a new user to the cdrom group?

For a long time I couldn't figure out why the cdrom
didn't work properly in user mode. Once i stumbled
about the add user to cdrom group solution,
everything works correctly. I'm thinking that gentoo
would be a better system if this was done
automatically.

Thanks,
Ben

of files in there.
First you will have something like
/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10.
Each file in /etc/env.d/java/ represents each
version of java you have
installed on your system (thus you could have
multiple versions and
switch between them). my
/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 contains
the following.

ENV_VARS=JAVA_HOME JDK_HOME JAVAC ADDPATH ADDLDPATH
MANPATH

You should also have something like
/etc/env.d/20java This would be the
version of java you currently have set (active). In
my case, because I
only have one java installed, it will largely be the
same. its contents
are:

# Autogenerated by java-config
# Command: --set-system-vm=sun-jdk-1.4.2.10
JDK_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10
JAVAC=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/bin/javac

MANPATH=${MANPATH}:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/man
JAVA_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10

Now if you have a file in
/etc/env.d/java/something but don't have an
/etc/env.d/20java (or if you do, it is empty), then
you should be able
to fix that with java-config (man java-config).
However if both files
/etc/env.d/java/something and /etc/env.d/20java
seem legit, then we
need to see why bash isn't sourcing the env.d files.
In fact now that I
think about it, that might be your problem, as your
path did seem to be
quite short. Mine for instance is:

echo $PATH

/usr/lib/ccache/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.4.5:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10/jre/javaws:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin

[gentoo-user] OT: Gnome widget keys

Hello all,

Does anyone know some of the common keys for Gnome widgets or maybe a
link to some docs?  Searching Google hasn't show anything besides basic
shortcut keys.  I am looking for functional keys.  For example, in this
screenshot:
http://keeliegirl.dyndns.org/temp/Screenshot.png
I have Sylpheed running.  I am trying to find out how to expand the
threads in the list view.  Under MS you usually can just press the left
or right arrow keys to exapand a treeview, though that does not work
here.  I hate having to take my hands off the keyboard just to expand a
thread.

I found that I can set shortcut keys in Sylpheed by highlighting the
menu item and pressing a key.  However I only found shortcuts for
expand/collapse all in Sylpheed and I would rather expand just one
thread.

Thanks,

Jim

Yes, I meant a program to play against the computer.

However, no-one has ever set out to create such a program for UNIX.

Nope you need sasl if you'd like to auth from outside the system.

Or you can just ssh in and tunnel your email down your session which 
will appear to be coming from localhost or a trusted IP. Or go with some 
sort of VPN type setup. sasl is probably easier than all that.

[gentoo-user] rc-status and broken links

2006-03-28 Thread Peter Kelly

Hola!

After a recent rebuild starting with a failed hard drive, I think I've got 
everything nailed down... except 

root ~ $ rc-status -s default
Runlevel: all
 alsasound   [ broken   ]
 apmd[ broken   ]
...
xdm  [ broken   ]
 xfs [ broken   ]
 * You have some broken symbolic links as reported by the broken
 * status above. This can be fixed by removing the broken service
 * from its runlevel and re-adding it back using rc-update.

Now, it shows that every service is [broken], but the advice to remove the 
broken service using rc-update -d (service) and add it in again does nothing.  
Everything is still [broken].

Anyone seen this, and have an idea how to fix it?

Thanks.

Yup.  VMWare is pretty slick.  I am running the 4.x series, and VMWare
is up to 5.x, I didn't feel like paying to upgrade.  I am able to run a

VPN client under VMWare.  The linux version is borked and doesn't want
to work.  The windows version runs fine and lets connect to work
through VMWare.

The only thing I recommend is having at least 1 GB memory, maybe you
could get by with 768 MB.  I have 2 GB right now.  With 2 GB I give
WinXP a full 512 MB and tell VMWare to not swap to disk, and the
performance is pretty impressive.

Thanks to both.  I looked in my world file and I think I upgraded as a
oneshot so why is it upgradeing?  I did the -t option and nothing else
is coming up as pulling it in.  Strange.
   

  

gcc is part of system.


 



LOL  That would be a good reason huh?  Where is that file?  I'm not real
sure about upgrading this thing right now.  Oh, what the heck.  I'll
upgrade it anyway.

Thanks

Assuming it's the gcc-3.4.5-r1 update you're considering postponing, you 
could just:


# echo 'sys-devel/gcc-3.4.5'  /etc/portage/package.mask

and just remove that line when you're ready to upgrade.  It's a *far* 
better idea than trying to modify your profile.

Re: [gentoo-user] Alsa build problem

 Well... I was using 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 and upgraded to 2.6.16 hoping
 this was bug in the Kernel version. The strange thing is that kernel
 alsa works fine but the alsasound script reports errors. The
 alsa-driver packages just fails to compile as I said.

But you didn't say enough.  Is it looking at include/linux/pci.h
from /usr/src/linux, /usr, or someplace else?  This is information
that should be in the preceding lines.

Actually the most useful part to look at would be the configure
output.  You should see a line that starts with ./configure,
followed by a bunch of checking for ... lines.

Also, you might try alsa-driver-1.0.11_rc4.  It is keyworded ~x86, but
should have lots of bug fixes over 1.0.10.


 The sound card is CMI 8738 and the motherboard is an old Asus TUV4X.

You will probably want to set ALSA_CARDS=cmi8330 in /etc/make.conf to
avoid building a bunch of drivers that you don't need.

Maybe not ideal (especially on 64-bit processors) it is more than possible to 
address a lot of memory (damn I forget the numbers, I think 64G).

  Why is that?  I thought 32-bit should have no problems addressing
  2GB?
Yes you can.  It will be slower than native 48-bit address modes from 64-bit 
processors, but not a large overhead at all (and the code mostly stays in 
cache).  You will need to select 3G/1G split to access the full 2GB you have 
in your system.  I have 1.5G and have to use 2G/2G to address all of mine.

 Plus, with a 64-bit kernel, it'll have access to the 64-bit specific
 registers. :)
That is a much larger benefit than most people give it credit for.  Almost 
double the registers!
