If it's trying to pull in something you don't think is necessary then do an emerge -pe --tree and look at why it's getting pulled in. Either remove what's causing it to get rebuilt or let it get pulled back in. At this point it's lather and repeat if necessary. I've done this a couple of times. It' works but be careful that you don't reboot during the process as something might be gone that's still necessary. Hope this helps, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

After removing the USE flags, you need to run emerge -uavDN world to ensure that everything is built without the optional X support. Then run emerge --depclean -p. you could also edit your world file and remove any packages in there that you no longer need, or that are only installed as dependencies of other packages (these shouldn't be there in the first place, but it's easy to forget to use --oneshot at some time).

If you only take pout some of what --depclean wants to remove, then revdep-rebuild is likely to want to reinstate some, because other packages still installed, but on the depclean list, need them. Unlike emerge, revdep-rebuild does not consider your world file or USE flags, but looks at the installed files and what they need, so you must complete depclean before running revdep-rebuild.

Actually, we should encourage commercial entities to participate the in Free Software movement, including letting them retain the ability to charge for providing software, as long as they are willing to let users of the software retain their four freedoms. Microsoft has made some movement in this direction... it takes away freedom - I am not sold to that 'must be good' aspect. Okay, this is off-topic, but it only takes away the freedom to take away users' freedoms, something the GPL has always done. BSD doesn't take away any freedoms, but I'm unconvinced that it's a good thing for Free Software to be able to be locked up. *I* think the GPLv3 is better, and that it would be good to move KDE toward GPLv3/LGPLv3 licensing. However, that is a decision that the project will have to make as a group and it would require reimplementing or relicensing all the code licensed to the under the GPLv2. That's a tough sell. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.

Re: [gentoo-user] portage inconsistency?
Hello Maxim On 15:46 Mon 16 Jul, maxim wexler wrote: At tail of emerge --sync its says now emerge portage. Yes, it does that every time there is a new portage version available. emerge -u portage lines up 5 or 6 packages plus portage, 18Mb. from the emerge manpage: --update (-u) Updates packages to the best version available, which may not always be the highest version number due to masking for testing and development. This will also update direct dependencies which may not be what you want. Package atoms specified on the command line are greedy, meaning that unspecific atoms may match multiple installed versions of slotted packages. So why doesn't it list the upgrade part now? If you look carefully at the first line 'emerge -pv portage' gives you, you will notice that it says `[ebuild R ] sys-apps/portage'. The `R' is for `Rebuild' - as your portage is already at the latest version emerge wants to rebuild it. If you use the -u flag it just searches for updates, finds none and hence does not suggest any installation. I suggest you should read throgh emerge(1) and portage(5) mapages and also read the online docs in the handbook to get familiar with the portage system.

As far as I remember from when I read it, it does not take any freedoms which the previous versions did not intend to. The purpose of the GPL is to protect the 4 freedoms. This instalment just closes loopholes in the previous versions which would allow these freedoms to be infringed upon. Henk Boom -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'll RTFS as soon as I finish my last exam (Wednesday - I guess *that's* what I'm keeping my fingers crossed for atm... ;-) ) and if I don't find the reason I'll look into the sendmail mailing list. I don't remember the exact reasons or format but I believe sendmail calls `gethostbyname' which looks first at /etc/hosts. Yes, I read that in the docs. I made up the domain .local and everything's completely fine now - I just wonder _why exactly_ sendmail needs to have an imaginatory domain name. A further point about documentation... you may have mentioned this but I did not see it. The document /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README Has a lot of help but may be thin on exact details at times. Thanks, I've read through most of the stuff in the /usr/share/doc/sendmail*/ directory and also through the online docs at sendmail.org and a lot of stuff on the net I googled for (like installation instructions for majordomo). They all essentially say that sendmail.cf should have one of the following: either `Tuser' or `Ctuser' or `Ft/file/with/trusted/users'. I tried all of them and though # egrep '^T' sendmail.cf Troot Tdaemon Tuucp Taleks seems to be OK I still don't seem to have any luck. I usually generate sendmail.cf through m4 and senmdmail.mc, but even with editing sendmail.cf manually I don't get any results... Thanks, Aleks pgpnUYVrH1elC.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] fglrx and posix shared mem
Hi, for a while I've been seeing errors like this: fglX11AllocateManagedSurface: __FGLTexMgrAllocMem failed!! on the screen when running screensavers, specifically mirrorblob. I found an ubuntu link[1] which led me to an ATI link[2] which said it is because posix shared memory isn't enabled. Essentially it led me to `mount | grep shm` If the mount was successful, then the following output (or similar) should appear: tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) and of course, this is already enabled. So why am I seeing the error? Has anyone else fixed this issue? I don't know where to go next, google only showed 1 match! I am running ati-drivers-8.37.6-r1 [1] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1691647 [2] http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.16.20.html#176878 thanks for the help, -- Iain Buchanan iaindb at netspace dot net dot au Good day for overcoming obstacles.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo Machine Cleanup
On 7/16/07, Samir Faci [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, So, I have a gentoo install that's slowly evolved over the past 3 years or so years. It's now so cluttered with packages, it's becoming ridiculous, especially for a headless server. What I'd like to do is be able to remove all KDE/Gnome/X/gtk/qt/...etc out of the machine and not have it break the machine completely. Any suggestion on how to do go about this? At this stage, I'd like the server to have the basic system build, LAMP, and Postfix. The easiest thing is to remove xorg entirely: uninstall xorg-base/xorg-x11 and mask the package in /etc/portage/package.mask. Also, add -X -gtk -qt3 -qt4 to your USE flags. Then try an emerge -uDNvp world; it would tell you what packages could not be resolved because they need X.org. It would be long and don't think it can be automated. When I eliminated KDE (why did I have to install it in the first place?), it took at least five emerges to get it done. You can advance by equery'ing all the packages with kde, gnome, and x11 categories or names, get the list and remove all of them. Good luck: but it's going to take a little effort. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Facultad de Ciencias, UNAM -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
