Re: [gentoo-user] CHOST=i486-pc-linux-gnu ?
It looks like you've probably used the x86 stage3 tarball instead of the i686 one. While you can change it [0], the best option is probably to start again using the correct tarball.

I do have to add that there are independent organizations that analyze the broadcasts of CNN, Fox and others and then report who is leaning where. [1] That is where I got my information. I didn't just make it up. Repeatedly over the years Fox told both sides of the story and not just one side. They also look at WHAT is being reported. Let's say Obama makes a screw up, Fox will talk about it but most likely NBC won't even mention it since they were in the tank for him and supported him during the election. Also, Fox is not conservative. It's just that CNN and others are so far to the left that Fox looks like it is right. I see both Dems and Reps on Fox but whenever I see CNN, they mostly tell one side, the side they support. I want both sides so I can make up my own mind. I'm doing that with the bail out plan they are talking about now. Yes, I still call it a bail out but it looks more like social engineering to me. My point is this, I watched CNN for years with really no other source for news. Then comes the internet and Fox news. Now I see that my gut feeling was right. They were not reporting the news but trying to tell me what to think. That is a serious turn off. I'm divorced because I got lied to. That was the root cause of that. CNN and friends is about like my ex. They both lied and I don't deal with either of them. Honest mistakes are one thing but trying to tell people something that is not accurate is not. I'm one of those you screw up once and I'm done. Dale :-) :-) [1] http://www.mediaresearch.org/ That is just one that I could remember off the top of my head.

Dale, from one old `f..t' to another.. here is a little tip I use dozens of ways to aid my sorry failing memory. In ~/.inputrc Something like (verbatim): \M-f: ls -l `find ./ -iname 'bzimage'` after saving ~/.inputrc, type C-x C-r to make readline re-read it. Then anytime you press Atl-f readline will put that command on the cmdline for you. So inside /usr/src/linux, Alt-f enter will dig up bzimage and show any deceitful symlinks for what they are... hehe. May not be that useful .. at least until someone sneaks in and moves bzimage again, but I guess you can imagine the many ways putting things in .inputrc will free you from remembering stuff. Well, what I did was go into Konqueror and look to see where the link was pointing too. It told me exactly where it was. I could have done the same in console but I was logged into KDE already so I just did it the Nintendo way. LOL Yep, I'm only 41 but I feel like a lot older most days. Dale :-) :-)

And that's on nvidia 8600GTS and ~x86. First impression is 4.2 is ready for prime time. Have fun, Roy Random KDE 4.2 impressions from a long-time KDE 3.x user: I still get desktop crashes when trying to do things with plasmoids (randomly) so I don't have any, and I question their usefulness anyway. adding desktop widgets while simultaneously removing traditional icons and trying to discourage people from using the desktop (in vista as well as KDE) seems odd to me. I miss my dockable weather applet from KDE 3.5 :( I don't want to have to minimize everything I've got open just to see the temperature on a widget. But that's not a problem because the weather widget in KDE4 doesn't work for me anyway. All konsole sessions run from the same procress, so when it crashed while browsing fonts, it crashed every konsole i had open all at once... Default fonts (by family, serif, sans-serif, etc) in KDE4 were corrupted for me in every version (maybe I'm missing some fonts that the ebuild doesn't require?), I had to manually change every font to a specific existing font to make them not look horrible (anti-aliasing) and to fix the invisible text problem (blank text on add widget dialog, blank text on taskbar). I got X crashes constantly until I removed all nvidia settings from my xorg.conf and just used the defaults. It has been good since then. Performance/responsiveness (with desktop effects enabled) is nowhere near as good as 3.5, obviously. Specifically konsole is SO SLOW. Using the right (or wrong) combination of fonts and font settings can cause simply running top in a konsole to use 99% CPU. Scrolling around in MC with the arrow keys is sluggish. Disabling the KDE desktop effects makes this problem go away, but then that's the only big improvement over KDE 3. KDE4 tries to automount discs and USB drives etc which I hate. I haven't tried to disable it yet but it's on my list of things to do. I do not use the GUI file manager stuff (in KDE3 or KDE4) so I can't say whether that's any better or worse. KDE4 uses one-click to launch stuff by default which is really annoying to me. I'm sure that can be changed somewhere but again I haven't had time to mess with that yet. Visually it looks like a total rip-off of Vista, including the new 4.2 taskbar. The default window borders theme is grey and I find it has too little contrast, it's hard to tell which things are active/focused and which are background. I've accidentally clicked the wrong X a few times. :P In KDE 4.0 and 4.1 I tried them for less than 1 day and gave up, going back to 3.x. This time I'm trying to force myself to stick with KDE 4.2 for a while to see how it goes. Especially since it seems KDE3 is going to reach unsupported state in the near future... The lack of an upgrade from KDE3 to KDE4 is really annoying. I had hundreds of sites in Akregator. Fired up KDE4 and it was blank. eek! Tried copying over the data files, Akregator crashed every time. Eventually I was able to copy just the definitions but not the message data and that seems to have worked without crashing so far... but i lost all my archived data. :(

The hard part is finding a source for the facts so a person can make their own decisions. For years, CNN, CBS and friends was all we had then along came Fox. The old media seemed to think the people are all stupid and needed someone to make decisions for them instead of realizing that most Americans are smart enough to do their own thinking.

Since you're now on glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1, before you rebuild system and world, make sure to upgrade your kernel to 2.6.28-r1 and also upgrade to linux-headers-2.6.28-r1. Rebuild glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1 after that and reboot. If that won't help, continue with the plan of rebuilding system and world :P I've had mysterious issues when running newest glibc with older kernels and linux-headers that were similar to yours.

Hi I'm trying to emerge kde-4.2, but the kde-base/systemsettings-4.2.0 ebuild fails: Scanning dependencies of target kdeinit_kxkb [ 23%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/kdeinit_kxkb_automoc.o [ 24%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/rules.o Linking CXX shared module ../../lib/kcm_keyboard_layout.so CMakeFiles/kcm_keyboard_layout.dir/x11helper.o: In function `X11Helper::registerForNewDeviceEvent(_XDisplay*)': x11helper.cpp:(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `_XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent(_XDisplay*)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lib/kcm_keyboard_layout.so] Error 1 make[1]: *** [kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kcm_keyboard_layout.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs [ 24%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/kxkbconfig.o [ 24%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/extension.o [ 25%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/x11helper.o [ 25%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/pixmap.o [ 26%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/xklavier_adaptor.o [ 26%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/kxkbcore.o [ 27%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/layoutmap.o [ 27%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/kxkbapp.o [ 27%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/kxkbwidget.o [ 28%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/kxkb_adaptor.o [ 28%] Building CXX object kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/kxkb_part.o /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/systemsettings-4.2.0/work/systemsettings-4.2.0/kcontrol/kxkb/kxkb_part.cpp:37: warning: unused parameter 'args' Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/libkdeinit4_kxkb.so CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/x11helper.o: In function `X11Helper::registerForNewDeviceEvent(_XDisplay*)': x11helper.cpp:(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `_XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent(_XDisplay*)' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lib/libkdeinit4_kxkb.so] Error 1 make[1]: *** [kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 I have the latest version of libXi (1.2.0). I tried searching the net, but the only answer I got was that some guy on the kde forums had the same problem and resolved it by installing the latest version of libXi from the repository. Have anyone else successfully built kde4.2? Regards Dirk

Maybe it's too advanced for a kid of that age.

I would recommend Tower Toppler (http://toppler.sourceforge.net/) and Kiki The Nanobot (http://kiki.sourceforge.net/). I think both of them are in the portage tree. I enjoyed playing them alot and according to some the differences between me and a 7 year old is not that big :) Regards Dirk
