Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.26 and iwl3945
* Florian Philipp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [16.11.08 12:03]: Can anyone say: Yeah, I use the iwl3945 driver with 2.6.26 and it works flawlessly for me. If so, could you please post your exact kernel version (for example gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r2) and your kernel config? Well, I use the iwl3945 without any problem: tuxonice-sources-2.6.26 (config attached.) But as you see I use tuxonice, and there are no problems with sleeping/waking since tuxonice unloads the module. Sebastian -- Religion ist das Opium des Volkes.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to stop mouse motion
I have this problem with my pc too. I have a razer copperhead, so its not a cheap/crappy mouse problem for me. Best *quick* solution I found was to turn the mouse over when I'm not using it. Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto wrote: Hi. I have a crappy mouse made in China. One of its problems is that the mouse pointer sometimes moves even while the mouse is not moving. Usually this manifests by the pointer shaking, moving back and forward one or two pixels very fast (it looks like some 5 times per second). The worst problem caused by this is that the monitor can wake up at seemingly random times. One solution would be to switch off the monitor every time I won't use it for a few minutes, but (AFAIK) this would waste energy and reduce lifetime. I want the DPMS modes of standby, suspend, off. Another solution would be to buy another mouse, but this would cost money and would not teach me the solution (this problem can manifest again in the future, with this or another computer). So I want a way to tell the kernel or X11 to ignore mouse motion. Either to shut down mouse motion completely, or to allow it but to ignore it for the effect considering the computer as idle. I have performed a quick read of kernel code and of the xorg.conf man page but I see no clue. Anybody knows?

Re: [gentoo-user] Nots and bolts of creating an ebuild
2008/11/17 Harry Putnam [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I really just want to add an epatch line to an existing ebuild but it
appears some protocols need to be followed to generate the manifest
and probably lots of other stuff.
Can anyone point me to something?
Create an overlay and within that use the same structure as in the
portage tree like /path/to/overlay/category/yourpackage/
Make the overlay known to portage by editing /etc/make.conf
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /path/to/overlay
Copy the ebuild you want to patch to the created directory. Create a
files directory within that directory and put your patch there. Note
that if the previous ebuild already needed this directory because of
other patches and files you need to copy them to that files directory
too.
Edit the ebuild by adding the epatch line to src_unpack (patches go to
src_unpack and not src_install) or add the src_unpack function if it
is not already there like below.
src_unpack() {
unpack ${A}
cd ${S}
epatch ${FILESDIR}/your.patch
}
Then execute ebuild yourpackage.ebuild manifest. Now you can try
ebuild yourpackage.ebuild unpack to run the unpack phase of the
ebuild to see if everything works.

[gentoo-user] apache +php +time limits
Hello
I set max_execution_time to 30 in php.ini file (i also checked in phpinfo).
max_input_time is set to 45.
But when I use in script something like that:
while ( 1 == 1 )
or
for ( $i=0; $i 1; $i++)
{
echo \n.$i;
}
it doesn't work - execution of script lasts for unlimited time.
of course I executed it via apache (I read that this limit doesn't work
while executing in console)
is it bug or am i doing something wrong?

[gentoo-user] Unable to build sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6.25-r9
I am attempting to switch a VM over to the hardened profile and the hardened kernel. I have rebuilt almost all of the packages on my computer after switching to th hardened profile, save for a few kernel modules. I have emerged hardened-sources-2.6.25-r9 and am trying to build it. I tried copying the .config that I had used with gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r9 to /usr/src/linux (symlinked to /usr/src/linux-2.6.25-hardened-r9) and doing a `make menuconfig` followed by a `make make modules_install`, but received an error almost right out of the gate. The error concerns some part of the frame buffer driver.

I use ghostscript-esp (emerge -av ghostscript-esp). There is also ghostscript-gpl and ghostscript-gnu available in portage. This is due to licensing issues. Ghostscript is a commercial company, the Linux versions are relicensed. There is no need for using ghostscript-esp anymore as GPL Ghostcript 8.57 and ESP Ghostscript 8.15.4 have been combined to GPL Ghostscript 8.60 in August 2007. So there is only ghostscript-gpl and probably ghostscript-gnu. -- Regards, Daniel -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.

Re: [gentoo-user] Java bad version number - what to up/downgrade?
I'm getting the following from dumphd: bad version number in .class file I gather that I may have the wrong version of something Java installed but I don't know how that works. Can anyone tell me what package I should try upgrading or downgrading? This normally means the class file is from a new version of Java then the virtual machine trying to run it (i.e. class files compiled under Java 1.5, but your trying to run it in Java 1.4). java-config -L (without quotes) will show you what virtual machines you have installed.

Francisco Ares wrote: Thanks, a lot, Dale, that was it. That proves old ghosts use to get back to haunt us once in a while ;-) Francisco What made me think it may not be needed is that I don't have it and I have the latest KDE 3.5 installed. I know sometimes files move or something and emerge does not touch a users directory that I have ever seen. I'm not sure but I doubt emerge can. Looks like KDE should have fixed it but I'm sure they are busy on KDE 4. ;-) I don't like ghosts in my puter either. At least with mine, it is usually the idiot in the chair. Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] Getting rid of all kde components
I've decided to stop using KDE after yrs of use... given that gentoo
compiles everything from scratch, its just getting to much time lost
jacking around with kde during upgrades.
But also I'd forgotten what the oldtime linux desktops were like.
fvwm was the main one in use when I started circa 1997.
I see blackbox is even a bit more stark... but since I am mainly
command line oriented it doesn't present a problem.
But cutting to the chase here, I'm getting rid of KDE but I see
kde-base/arts shows lots of dependencies. Even now that I've changed
my USE flag `kde' to `-kde'
qdepends -C kde-base/arts|awk '{gsub(/ /,\n);print}'
kde-base/arts-3.5.10:
x11-libs/qt:3
=dev-libs/glib-2
media-libs/alsa-lib
media-libs/libogg
media-libs/libvorbis
media-sound/esound
media-libs/libmad
media-libs/audiofile
dev-util/pkgconfig
=sys-devel/automake-1.9*
=sys-devel/autoconf-2.61
sys-devel/libtool
sys-devel/make
dev-util/pkgconfig
dev-lang/perl
I'm pretty sure at least some of this doesn't actually depend on
kde-base/arts but not quite sure what to make of the output.

remove arts and any other kde-related flags from USE and package.use. Unmerge

everything it ever did can now be done by alsa.

You have it the wrong way round. Those packages do not depend on arts, instead
arts depends on them. They are needed to either run or to build arts.
Don't worry about it. portage knows how to build anything that's missing after
you are done cleaning up

Those packages do not depend on arts, instead arts depends on them. They are needed to either run or to build arts. Egad, of course. And I've used several of the depends commands for quite some time now yet every once in a while I get to thinking backwards with it. Thanks for the friendly nudge instead of a nasty whack with a 2x4.
