The package has been changed and portage doesn't know if you did it or some random hacker. That said, man ebuild and check out the manifest section. I have never done this but maybe it will make sense to you. Also, I think emerge used to have the --digest option. Basically it tells emerge to skip checking the digest. I didn't see it in the man page so it may not be there anymore. Dale :-) :-)

I thought wpa_supplicant was for clients not wireless access points. I am currently running the madwifi driver and an older kernel. I am not using wpa_supplicant and it works fine as a access point.

Re: [gentoo-user] Atheros kernel driver and my wireless access point setup
Hey all, I think I might know the problem. After doing some reading apparently many distrutions, including Gentoo, don't ship hostapd with support for the nl80211 driver. I checked the Gentoo tarball and this is the case. I tried editing the defconfig file in hostapd.tar.gz (enabling CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y)but when I opened the tarball, edited it, and created a new tarball then tried to emerge it it gave me this... penguin distfiles # emerge hostapd Calculating dependencies... done! >>> Verifying ebuild manifests >>> Emerging (1 of 1) net-wireless/hostapd-0.6.9 Refetching...

[gentoo-user] Atheros kernel driver and my wireless access point setup
Greetings, I am trying to setup a wireless access point using the atheros kernel driver (Built into the kernel, not as a module). I am using Vanilla-Sources 2.6.29.4.

[gentoo-user] Trying SRC_URI first during fetching
Normally, portage will try fetching from GENTOO_MIRRORS during an emerge and SRC_URI comes last. I want to reverse this; try SRC_URI first and if that fails, only then proceed to fetch from GENTOO_MIRRORS. Doable?

It was generated when it was started up the first time. I also noticed some things that I installed in the Seamonkey directory too. Adblock was one of those.

Should I update my backups BEFORE deleting these? o_O Depends if you do have those packages installed. Numeric is from dev-python/numeric, for example. Also, be careful when you parse the output of the command. Most of the .pyc and .pyo files in the python2.5 directories are byte-compiled version that python generated dynamically the first time they are used. For example: /Numeric/numeric_version.py was installed by the ebuild and thuse qfile tells me it belongs to dev-python/numeric, but .../Numeric/numeric_version.pyc is listed as an "orphan". While it is safe to delete, it will just be regenerated again later, wasting computing cycles. Ditto for some of the files in the perl directory. W -- I am not a physics major.

Since the machine is dual boot and I'm in Windows most of the working day this wasn't too difficult. Both drive have had their firmware updated. Still the LDW-411S reads the ISRC's incorrectly. The LTR-48246 looks good though. (It was good before the firmware upgrade also, so actually no change, but the firmware is updated and that's good. In parallel with the efforts on that machine I made headway on another machine - my new MythTV backend server of all things. It's a PowerPC based Mac Mini- 1st generation - with a Matshita drive in it. I started with cdda2wav -paranoia at max speed and it failed. I lowered it to 20, then 16, then 8. Paranoia kept failing. Finally at speed=6 it worked. Armed with that data I used cdrecord to write a new copy and amazingly it worked. Plays just fine in the car. I haven't had time yet to see if an iTunes box picks up cddb data or anything like that but at least it worked on the car. If there are other problems hopefully I can get those worked out soon. I started a similar test using the LTR-48246 with another CD-R that I haven't been able to copy. Using paranoia so far 16x and above failed, I'm trying 8x now. Anyway, it seems I'm making some headway. I really appreciate your and Jeorg's help! Thanks! Cheers, Mark

I've updated from monolithic to split (actually removed monolithic and then installed split) years ago. It has been working fine until now - 3.5.10 I seem to have installed kde-base/mimelib, I guess as dependency: kde-base/mimelib Installed versions: 3.5.10(3.5)(20:11:53 06/07/09)(-debug -elibc_FreeBSD) I also tried changing fluxbox for kdm (in case this is a fluxbox WM issue) and restarte X with kdm.

Maybe this is too off topic for many Gentoo users? If this bothers anyone please let me know and I'll try to take appropriate action, assuming there is some place else to have such a conversation. Indeed, in the files created by the LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-411S (my drive 1) I see bad characters: CDINDEX_DISCID= 'YasSG0mWGVxInJOH.LN2lnPcBoY-' CDDB_DISCID=0x870dbf0b MCN= ISRC= 0...@-405-72-1 While in the files created by the LITE-ON LTR-48246S (my drive 2) I see no characters: CDINDEX_DISCID= 'YasSG0mWGVxInJOH.LN2lnPcBoY-' CDDB_DISCID=0x870dbf0b MCN= ISRC= OK, so we've made a little headway. Buggy firmware in drive 1. So I did the cdda2wav step using drive 2 and wrote the new disc using drive 2 also. This disc plays in the car, but only the first track! From track 2 on I just hear the head seeking around and (apparently) not finding what it's looking for. But that's an improvement!

Your problem is that either your CD-ROM drive has buggy formware or that the CD is mastered in a way that contains illegal characters... Given the fact that is is most unlikely to have the same ISRC for all tracks on the CD, I would asume that it's a broken drive. Typical ISRCs look this way: T: 1 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00554 T: 2 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00555 T: 3 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00556 T: 4 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00607 T: 5 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00557 T: 6 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00558 T: 7 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00559 T: 8 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00560 T: 9 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00561 T: 10 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00562 T: 11 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00563 T: 12 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00564 T: 13 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00565 T: 14 ISRC: DE-A34-96-00566 The first two characters are the two character code for the country where the recording was made. The next three characters are the Studio ID, the next two characters are the last two digits of the recording year and the last 5 digits are a serial number for all recordings of a year in a specific studio. If you correct your *.inf files to contain correct values or if you just remove the entries, cdrecord will work.

[gentoo-user] peculiar ppp problem
Hi group, I have been switching my dial-up account between my desktop PC and my netbook eee. Both use identical ppp conf files except the PC uses /dev/ttyS0 and the netbook uses /dev/ttyUSB0(created by the pl2303 driver and a usb/serial connector). I'm using separate but identical USR modems. Both seem to "work" in that the appropriate LEDs light up on either modem but the log tells a different tale. In the PC: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid ), status = 0x1. Which means I am connected. In the netbook, status =0x0. Which means un-connected. FWIW on the netbook I'm using systemrescuecd-1.2.0, running /root% pon on one terminal and attempting to emerge gentoo-sources from a chrooted environment on another terminal which fails, naturally, with 'unable to resolve host address' errors. I've done this often before without problems. Maxim
[gentoo-user] slim login manager issues
Hi all, I'm having some issues with the slim login manager, which suits my very basic needs very well, except from those two things: * When starting, the keyboard doesn't respond quite well. The characters don't show on screen imediately, and sometimes, it gets even worse: it freezes for maybe 1-2 seconds, then the first key i hit gets "stuck", which basically means it repeats that caracter a fine dozen of times. * when i have to restart x, slim doesn't restarts itself up, i'm thrown back to basic console login prompt. Any help greatly appreciated. cya.

Yes, that reminds me that there was also a problem with Krusader, which no longer knows what to open files with, even after it is told to 'remember' the desired app. I also updated to kdebase-kioslaves-3.5.10-r1 , which mb the cause of both problems.

Thanks a lot ... it simply WORKKS! Great to hear! At least sometimes my blind guessing works. :) Anyway, you might want to file a bug for it, if it prevents running kaffeine. Also, there is already one (by some other kind person) possibly fixing your original problem with kaffeine-0.8.6: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273030 But there is also this one: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272736 I'm wondering if this latter one is due to similar path problems? It would seem as if all kaffeine (or kde?) versions could be suffering from looking for various things like .desktop entries, icons etc from under similarly wrong paths? -- Arttu V.

Thanks Philip, I also noticed that 'konqueror' works fine, so I
changed the FB menu accordingly. Apwal looks cool, I will give it a
spin (although I am conditioned to years of using the FB right-click
menu).
The problem remains though with most menus and submenus in KDE
applications; e.g. right-click on a file in Konqueror, then 'Open
With' and there are no applications in the popup to select from ... I
have to type the application manually. This is a rather significant
usability hurdle for me.
Any KDE gurus out there?

I gave up on the KDE desktop after investigating KDE 4.2.1 (ugh!)
& finding that the latest Fluxbox 1.1.1 was a bit better for what I do,
so I no longer use a KDE menu, but after updating to Kdelibs 3.5.10-r6 ,
I too encountered the problem with Konqueror above,
for which the fix is to rewrite with '{konqueror}'.
BTW I recommend Apwal for a quick & pretty desktop menu
besides the more orthodox list you can put into the Fluxbox menu.

Hi, I've firefox-bin-3.5beta4 installed on my AMD64 Gentoo system. Typing about:buildconfig as URL it's saying it's a 32bits application. For java(-applets) to run, I need a 32 bit java.

[gentoo-user] KDE menu missing
Hi All,
Can't recall if anyone else posted on this. Just updated my KDE to
the latest 3.5.10 and discovered that there is no KDE menu! This
means no KDE applications menu, as well as no menu on the left hand
pane when I run kcontrol from a terminal:
kcontrol: WARNING: No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found
! Defaulting to Settings/
Also, I used to have this in my Fluxbox menu to launch Konqueror:
[exec] (Konqueror) {kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing}
However, this won't launch konqueror anymore.
elog said something about running kbuildsycoca as the user I want to
launch konqueror from, which I did, but is there anything else I
should do to fix any of the above?

On this system, I just left portage at what seemed to be a working

be better to upgrade and find another stable, working version.

There's also some simple sh-scripts for emulating "--keep-going" functionality for earlier portage versions. I can't remember any specific names, but I'm sure google should be able to help here. If the problem is specific to this exact version of package (gmp usually builds, but 4.3.1 fails) and the update itself is not critical to you (like when you don't even know what it'll bring) then you can just ignore it altogether - there's a good chance 4.3.2 or 4.4.0 or whatever-next-version-is will compile cleanly. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net signature.asc Description: PGP signature

If you manually unpack the distfile and try to patch it, what errors do you get? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

[gentoo-user] Portage Patch failed to apply - System will no longer upgrade
Hi. This issue is really pissing me off, I have ried almost all the fixes, even to the point of booting and copying a Stage3 tarball over the running system and doing a Stage3 Install. No matter what I do, and for almost ALL packages I get .. * Portage patch failed to apply (ltmain.sh version 1.5.24)! * Please bug azarah or vapier to add proper patch. * * ERROR: dev-libs/gmp-4.3.1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_unpack * environment, line 2811: Called elibtoolize * environment, line 1065: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Portage patch failed to apply!"; * The die message: * Portage patch failed to apply! For this package and everything else I wish to apply, this is locking my system in time so I can no longer upgrade any software ;o(
