I have read trough the documentation about the emerge tool but didn't find a working solution. Could anybody give me a few pointer? There are not one but TWO ways that packages get masked. The first is the usual method that separates the mostly stable branch from the unstable/testing branch, and that is done with the KEYWORDS entry on each package's ebuild file. Here's an example from enlightenment-0.16.8.1: KEYWORDS=alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd and from enlightenment-0.16.8.6: KEYWORDS=~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd This entry is used by the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS entry in /etc/make.conf. This normally matches your system architecture (ARCH) if you want the stable packages, or ~$ARCH if you want the bleeding edge stuff in testing. Say you have an i386 processor, you will then have 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86' in make.conf for stable, and 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86' if you want unstable/testing. How this works is that emerge looks at your ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to decide what ebuild to make available to you. Looking at enlightenment above, if you run x86, it will only allow the one marked x86 (0.16.8.1). If you run ~x86, it will accept either (that's what ~x86 means - allow packages marked ~x86 or lower (x86) to be installed) So much for stable/testing. There's another way to use all this, that is packages that don;t have any keywords at all. These are new ebuilds put in portage for the first stage of testing. These ebuilds usually eat your babies and cause your tax return to go missing, so they are special. To use them, you don't use any variables as above, you put an entry in /etc/portage/package.keywords to explicitly allow portage to use them. You have to list each package separately, so that when a dumb user cooks his own baby and offers it to emerge on a plate, he only has himself to blame. Now, eclipse-core is in this category: nazgul enlightenment # eix eclipse-core * dev-java/eclipse-core Available versions: (3) [M](~)3.2_pre2 Homepage:http://www.eclipse.org/ Description: Core Runtime Utilities for Eclipse See the [M] on the versions line? That says it's hard masked and you need to do this to get it going: echo dev-java/eclipse-core -* /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge -av eclipse-core Note the -* in the echo command, it is needed. It tells emerge to install that package regardless of the fact that it has no keywords set in the ebuild. Does all this answer your actual question? :-) alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

[gentoo-user] amarok, last.fm and recent updates
Hi everybody, after recent updates (emerge --sync emerge -uDN world) amarok stopped working with http://last.fm streams. I've experienced same behavior on two separate machines. First I've noticed it on my home machine but thought maybe something changed with last.fm and amarok can't connect to it period. To my surprise my workstation in the office was still working fine (until updates that is). After I updated my workstation in the office amarok stopped picking last.fm streams there too. I did revdep-rebuild with no success. I also re-merged ruby (as some of amarok scripts are written in ruby) and amarok just to be sure - nothing helped so far.

pppd complains: ppp not replacing existing default route... (Isn't is possible to have multiple default routes with different metric values? Why not with pppd? How can I make pppd add another default route or replacing the current one?)

And if I pass the -G option to dhcpcd, I have to guess the gateway. Are there dynamic values possible in the conf.d/net file? Wow, got it solved with iproute2. Have these two statements in the /etc/conf.d/net now: modules=( iproute2 ) metric_wlan0=200 config_wlan0=(dhcp) routes_wlan0=($VPNSERVER dev wlan0 metric 1) # This adds the route to $VPNSERVER using the default route of # device wlan0, which is set up by dhcpcd. config_ppp0=(null) routes_ppp0=(default dev ppp0 metric 100) # When the ppp0 device comes up by pppd, the init script is called, # adding a default route over ppp0 with metric 100. The metric is lower then # the metric of the other default route, so this one is preferred. # pppd does not need the defaultroute option, since it cannot create the # default route anyway After firing up wlan, dhcp and pppd, I have this automatically set up: # ip route show $REMOTEIP dev ppp0 proto kernel scope link src $LOCALIP $VPNSERVER dev wlan0 scope link metric 200 $VPNNET/24 dev wlan0 scope link metric 200 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link default dev ppp0 scope link metric 100 default via $LOCALGATEWAY dev wlan0 metric 200 And I'm happy. :-) Sascha pgplPIT4nvCWM.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] console blanks permanantly
Hi group, Just after getting my unit w/2.6.19-r5 kernel to work this happens: I wanted to look at syslog so I did ctrlaltf12 as I usually do and found the console completely blank -- no login or cursor. When I try to get back to ctrlaltf1, it's blank too. Keyboard still works so I ctrlaltdel and reboot where everything's OK again. I did get a message that my bootlevel...consolefont was broken. So I deleted it from boot and re-added it to the default level. No good. So I went back around re-and-re'd it to boot again. Same thing. aaarrgh!

I've long had Krusader installed have recently tested Thunar Dolphin find that while they claim to handle diskettes, it's not reliable: sometimes they do copy or delete files successfully; sometimes they say they have, but nothing happens in the drive; sometimes they say they can't access the drive at all. I've added a line to /etc/fstab : '/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,user 0 0' I would have thought filesystem 'msdos' would make more sense, if all your floppies are FAT12. I've changed it, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Further testing (all under KDE 3.5.6) reveals the following: Krusader needs to be root to write or delete diskette files; Thunar mounts, writes deletes ok, but there's a 35 sec delay before the drive reacts to update the file list you have to 'unmount' the device, then reopen it; Dolphin doesn't seem able to handle the diskette drive reliably, but it is still testing (Gentoo) under active development (KDE). For everyday purposes, there's nothing like CLI + Mtools, but I wanted to try out the capabilities of the file managers.

[gentoo-user] more on the mysterious console blanking
Hi group, This is a puzzler. Can't get no relief. Can't be hardware cause it only started happening with this current 2.6.19-r5 install. Modules for video card, Rage 128 and frambuffer are not loaded. The screen goes blank after an interval as though it were going to sleep. But it can't be awoken. The screen also goes blank when an attempt is made to switch to another console with ctrl-alt-fn. Only way to restore console is to reboot(the keyboard still works) and start all over again. Then a) keep hitting a key to keep it from going to sleep and b) never attempt looking at another console if you want to see what you're doing. And here's another complication: once it goes blank any bolded type on the console can be made just barely visible by cranking the brightness to the max. So it's not *completely* blank but it is definitely useless. Oh, and I ran #setterm -blank 0 Did no good.
