 Hello!

 I was running the unstable branch of portage primarily for about two years

 My question is, when downgrading (upgrading?) from unstable to stable,
 especially with packages that aren't explicitly in the world file, is this
 the behavior one should expect, or are these sorts of things worth bug
 reports?  If revdep-rebuild was finding and solving all the problems, I'd
 say no bug.  But when portage can't figure out what the problem is, and it
 only involved rebuilding installed dependencies in the right order, it makes
 portage not feel very sleek.

 Input welcome.

 What specific steps did you take to downgrade? I remember doing a
 successful downgrade about 2 years ago. I pretty much just ran emerge
 -e world, then etc-update, reboot, and don't remember having too many
 problems if any.
 

Hi,

I did the same error once and I had been told that it can be unpleasing
to downgrade a large amount of programs. So back then I followed another
approach. I put every single packed which was on ~x86 in my keywords
file. Than I changed my make.conf back to stable. This way my box was
slowly coming back to stable without the need to downgrade any program.
I took maybe around one year until I was able to remove the last line in
the keywords file but I still think this is the best way to deal with a
case like that.
So answer to your question: I say it is expected behavior to run in
trouble when downgrading a large amount of programs. I wouldn't consider
this to be a bug.

 The latter, I'm afraid. You've told genlop to look at the old log file,
 but the start time of the current emerge is written to the new log file.
 I use genlop -f when the current log file is in a different location
 (when I'm  emerging in a chroot and want to check progress from the
 parent OS) and it works fine.

 What you are looking for is for genlop to consider multiple log files,
 something it does not currently do. You could file a feature request bug
 report.


   

I tried this and it works:

r...@smoker / # genlop -f /var/log/emerge.log -f /var/log/emerge.log.old1 -c
using logfile /var/log/emerge.log
using logfile /var/log/emerge.log.old1

 Currently merging 1 out of 1

 * kde-base/kpat-3.5.10

   current merge time: 18 seconds.
   ETA: 1 minute and 42 seconds.
r...@smoker / #

So, if I point it to both log files, it sorts out the info rather
nicely.  Neat huh?  I wouldn't have thought of that without you
explaining how it works tho. 

Thanks much ! !

I guess you are on baselayout and openrc. This is a problem with the

[gentoo-user] python-2.6.2 site-packages path problem

2009-04-21 Thread Helmut Jarausch
Hi,

with Python 2.6.2 I have (even re-)installed dev-python/pygtk.
And indeed, there is a directory
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0

But, still,
import gtk
fails. Looking closer,
there is NO pygtk.pth-2.0 pygtk.py-2.0 file
in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
as it is on a working python-2.6.1 installation.

What might cause that problem?

Many thanks for a hint,

 Which kernel du you use?
 
 It seems to be 2.6.29-r1 according to SYSOUT content in the portage
 output...
 
Yeah that why I am asking, I had an issue with a kernel module package which 
found the kernel source
from the new kernel but has a SYSOUT from the old and wanted to build against 
that. But sources were
already unmerged.

 xdpyinfo if it is not installed yet.

[gentoo-user] Wrong keyboard map in Fluxbox

2009-04-21 Thread Marco
Hi all,

I have a fresh installation of gentoo with fluxbox. I added exec
startfluxbox to my ~/.xinitrc and set the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in
/etcconf.d/xdm to use slim.

When I start my machine now, when slim starts a wrong keymap is set.
This is also the case in fluxbox after login. If I stop X and restart
it using startx, the key mapping is correct.

Any  ideas on how slim interferes with the keymap and how to solve that?

Thanks a lot for your help!

[gentoo-user] What use flags/build settings should I use to get audio CDs to play in totem?

2009-04-21 Thread Mark David Dumlao
DISCLAIMER
I have spent the past 3 hours reading mail archives on gentoo-user
about, erm, certain sensitive people and topics and their feelings
about cd software. In fact I am *still* reading. I realize, though,
that it would probably be much faster to parallelize my information
gathering by directly asking the group.

Hi Gentoo-user!
I just recently discovered some of my old video game CDs (FYI: Might
and Magic 6-8) that have mixed data and audio tracks. I am a GNOME
user. Unfortunately, as I put the CD on, I got GNOME errors saying
unable to mount audio CD. hmm-hmm, sounds trivial enough.

I do a grep on use.desc and use.local.desc for cd stuff and I see cdda
as a use flag. Google calls it CD Digital Audio, so my brain connects
says sounds like the guy. Hastily I add it to my make.conf and
emerge -uDNtav world, see cdda pop up in some places, and press enter.
Later after dinnertime I notice the compiling's done, so I pop in the
game CD to see if audio CD is alright.

Joy! GNOME shows two icons on the desktop when I put the CD in. One
obviously shows the data track, labeled MM7_Disk2 or something
similar. The other says audio CD, which, when double clicked, shows
me a cdda://sr0/ URL opened in Nautilus, with a bunch of files from
Track 2.wav to Track 20.wav.

Now, here's the issue: I can drag the files from the window to another
folder and they get, intuitively, ripped from the CD as wav files
which play. But when I try to play them in totem, I get nothing.
Specifically, totem says:
---
totem cdda://sr0/
** Message: Error: A Audio CD source plugin is required to play this
stream, but not installed.
gstplaybasebin.c(1673): gen_source_element (): /GstPlayBin:play:
No URI handler for cdda

** Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|totem|Audio CD
source|urisource-cdda (Audio CD source)
** Message: Automatic missing codec installation not supported (helper
script missing)
** Message: Error: A Audio CD source plugin is required to play this
stream, but not installed.
---

Popup:
The playback of this movie requires a Audio CD source plugin which is
not installed
---
Also, the Movie-Play Disc 'Audio Disc'
is grayed out.

My rhythmbox also now sees my audio CD's tracks 2 and above (which
makes sense), but plays painful static when I double click on the
tracks.

vlc gives me the same static on tracks 2 and above.

Clearly, I'm only getting somewhere half-right here. I want to be able
to play CD audio from mixed audio/data disks and I can get both data
and audio to appear. I can also rip the audio from the disks
themselves, which works fine. So all that seems to be missing is
getting my desktop apps to play the CD from the disks, and I am just
suspecting (as reported by my apps) that one of my plugins is missing
or wrong.

 Hello,

 You might have multiple issues, depending on what (if any) other new
 hardware you are using and have not previously been successful using
 with HDMI.

 Just a stab in the dark, but, do some research on HDCP
 (HIGH-BANDWIDTH DIGITAL CONTENT PROTECTION) and make
 sure that's not your issue, nor related to your equipment
 configuration. That is, if you are outputting HDMI based
 audio and video from a computer and trying to make it
 all happy with a 1080p TV/monitor/audio type of setup


 Somehow find a way to test each component and make sure
 it's working. You may need to fiddle with the setting
 of the HDMI receiving device, or contact the manufacture
 and find out if the device employs HDCP, it can be
 turned off, or any other ideas the manufacture may have.


 Being you are a pioneer in this area, you might want
 to track down a 'HDMI Bus Analyzer' or a friend that
 has one:

 http://www.lecroy.com/tm/Options/Software/SDA-HDMI/default.asp

 good hunting and good luck!

 Actually, for me Raising Elefants Is So Utterly Boring is somehow
 easier to remember than to invert a word in my mind :)

There's also Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken, which seems more
appropriate.

[gentoo-user] CUPS error when printing from GTK+ print dialog

2009-04-21 Thread Morten Holt
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

When I try to print from a program using the GTK+ print dialog, e.g.
Firefox og Evince, i get the following line:

Request from localhost using invalid Host: field ::1

in /var/log/cups/error_log each time I try to select a printer from the
list. The dialog shows the list just fine, but except for the Print to
File option the Print button is shaded.

Printing works just fine from other programs that use CUPS, it's only
the ones using the GTK+ printing dialog that fails.

I have tried to re-emerge GTK+, libgnomecups and libgnomeprint, but
nothing seems to change the behaviour.

The problem seems to have startet after a recent upgrade of CUPS.

I hope anybody has an idea on how I can solve this rather annoying issue.

[gentoo-user] jre memory heap size issue

And i have restarted firefox, but when i try to run the app it still complains 
about the memory size. the -Xmx256m tweak recommended by the app vendor works 
in windows, and IIRC it also worked on my old x86 machine. The current machine 
is a newly built amd64. Any ideas on what's wrong?

As a third party in this thread I can confirm your original post has:

no skins

Also, according to
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html there is a
cd-audio plugin which is part of gst-plugins-bad which might be an
even better choice :)

Same here.  Word find and my eyes found no mention of skins.  Since I'm
curious, how did that get there?  Two emails merge somewhere or something.
