I say should, because I haven't actually tried it. It is not quite that simple. There were many posts today (28 oct) on this. I suggest reading them. You might need to unmask mit-krb5 for example. There is a danger of rendering wget and hence emerge unusable (but if you have already --fetchonly'ed the pkgs then emerge can install them).

The point is that the behavior in this situation is "undefined". It might do anything. Programming in C is different than programming in Python. In Python, you must know the basic behavior of a statement/functions. If an error occurs, it raises an exception. If you do not catch the exception, the program exits (and you can arrange for cleanup actions to be performed before the program exits). In C, you must know exactly what the statement/function does, and you *must* handle the possibility of errors. If an error occurs and you do not handle it, the program may crash, or it may go on and behave erratically (such as deleting user files, or giving results subtly wrong, or leaking memory, or...) -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free - Linus Torvalds

A sysadmin doesn't need to know C. It helps to be able to read it of course.
A sysadmin ought to know grep, sed and awk rather well and be quite fluent in

Agreed. It's a very nice language and has some nice side effects on your
thinking. Like realising that the "new" keyword is an OOP language is always
completely redundant. Or how many brain cycles you use parsing { and }.
Many people like to bitch about Python's enforcement of coding style. But we
all agree that indentation is good. We disagree sometimes how exactly to do
it. Python assumes that you start using the style you like and simply
enforces that you carry on with it (which you were going to do anyway)
That appeals to me - cut to the chase, toss out the irrelevant crap and
concentrate on what's left - the important stuff

So i downloaded sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9.tar.gz with Firefox browser to /usr/portage/distfile and put >sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9 in package.mask. Then I could emerge sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9.

I read the first three paragraphs, saw "Legal indicators are 'dot' and 'bar'" and figured there were two options - verbose with lots of dots or concise with 50 dashes. That'll teach me to assume :-) [man wget's is getting like bash, screen, nmap and mplayer's man pages...] But there's something else at work here - this change happened on my mchine within the last 6 weeks.

Read the wget manpage again, and you'll find: [..] when the output is not a TTY, the "dot" progress will be favored over "bar". [..] So putting --progress=bar:force into FETCHCOMMAND/RESUMECOMMAND does the trick. Maybe this was done for the --jobs option or a change in background process logging to a file?

Perhaps you did not read wget's info page ? Please read the following excerpt to the end `--progress=TYPE' Select the type of the progress indicator you wish to use. Legal indicators are "dot" and "bar". The "bar" indicator is used by default. It draws an ASCII progress bar graphics (a.k.a "thermometer" display) indicating the status of retrieval. If the output is not a TTY, the "dot" bar will be used by default. Use `--progress=dot' to switch to the "dot" display. It traces the retrieval by printing dots on the screen, each dot representing a fixed amount of downloaded data. When using the dotted retrieval, you may also set the "style" by specifying the type as `dot:STYLE'. Different styles assign different meaning to one dot. With the `default' style each dot represents 1K, there are ten dots in a cluster and 50 dots in a line. The `binary' style has a more "computer"-like orientation--8K dots, 16-dots clusters and 48 dots per line (which makes for 384K lines). The `mega' style is suitable for downloading very large files--each dot represents 64K retrieved, there are eight dots in a cluster, and 48 dots on each line (so each line contains 3M). Note that you can set the default style using the `progress' command in `.wgetrc'. That setting may be overridden from the command line. The exception is that, when the output is not a TTY, the "dot" progress will be favored over "bar". To force the bar output, use `--progress=bar:force'. So you can try --progress=bar:force I personally like --progress=dot. And when I download huge files like CD images, I use wget -b --limit-rate= --progress=dot:mega 'http://example.com/foo.tar.lzma' -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free - Linus Torvalds

That is not the only reason it is usually discouraged... the main reason is that the code itself is often broken. By the way, there is a contradiction among a subset of the Gentoo users. They spend a lot of time optimizing their system (sometimes even being irresponsible, using absurd CFLAGS), but at the same time they install the very latest software, while 95% of software gets slower with each release. Using the most recent, untested software often leads to bugs and very often leads to decreased performance. What a rational person would do (in my opinion) is 1) A generally stable (no ~arch) system. 2) A few ~arch packages, where the ~arch versions really have important features, and they outweigh the unreliability. One example would be multimedia software, and perhaps Firefox (3.0 is still ~x86). 3) Zero or very few hardmasked or unkeyworded packages, including cvs software. They are hardmasked for a reason. Of course, some people do have a rational reason to download software from cvs, such as developers of that particular software. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free - Linus Torvalds

To be really sure ALSA is working, I suggest you try aplay. Notice that aplay is minimalistic, and does not support formats like vorbis (AFAIK). Feed a wav to it. Example: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav Both aplay and /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav come from media-sound/alsa-utils You have a lot of verbosity with aplay -v Also notice that many mixer controls have not only a volume bar, but also a setting of muted or unmuted. A mixer control may show its bar at 100% but be muted, which could be confusing if you are not familiar with alsamixer. In my case least, the relevant mixer controls for a wav file are "Master" and "PCM". Both are stereo, both have volume bars, but only "PCM" has a mute/unmute setting. I don't know if this is your case, this wasn't clear from your screenshot. Can you get a png screenshot and send directly to my email?. Of course, it would be better if the alsamixer screen was maximized when you take the screenshot. Also, to test with another OS could be useful.

This has been bugging me for a long time as well, I'd really liek to know what's going on. 'ps ax' while emerge is downloading shows the full wget command used - it's FETCHCOMMAND from make.conf. The identical command on the command line produces the old output. Adding the wget option --progress=bar to FETCHCOMMAND changes nothing, but it is the correct option to influence this behaviour. It seems like perhaps FETCHCOMMAND is no longer the applicable setting in make.conf... -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

If you look at the emerge output below, you will see that all 4 are proceeded by [ebuild N ] which means they are not installed at all. Botto line is that e2fsprogs-libs abd ss|com_err cannot co-exist on the same system, as e2fsprogs-libs implements what they do. Look at the *DEPEND in the ebuild to see what e2fsprogs-libs blocks. I have a ~arch system, what I did way back when was to simply put ss and com_err in package.mask, and everything worked.

I remember I wanted to reemerge few package on my system few weeks ago and I had some kde package with ~x86 and I got lot of blocking message. The solution: I don't use kde package with ~x86.

It needs gegl svn. To do those I've built an entry in my overlay tree. If your interested I can send this to you by email. But it's not funny since there is patch gegl-21-configure-ac.patch derived ffrom gegl-20-configure-ac.patch which has to be adapted to the current svn version. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
[gentoo-user] kde install mess
Hi, anyhow I managed to get a mess of blockings when trying to emerge kde packages. (might be that has something to do with the recent downgrade from 3.5.10-r* to 3.5.9) Just one example: trying to emerge e.g. konsole:3.5 I get "kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves:3.5" is blocking kde-base/kdebase-3.5.9-r4 but I cannot see any negative DEPEND either in the ebuilds of kdebase-kioslaves nor kdebase-3.5.9-r4 So, what went wrong here? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
