No output created. Done. Input errors, so no output created. Regards Liviu Well, you could try app-text/qpdf from the benf overlay. It has an option to suppress recovery of damaged files so it looks like it at least tries to repair them per default. If you don't want to install layman and overlays, you can send me the file off-list and I take a look. One good thing about PDF is that its structure is stored uncompressed (AFAIK it only compresses text and binary data with zlib since version 1.2). This means that it might be at least partially recoverable. Regards, Florian Philipp Okay, qpdf cannot handle this. From a quick inspection of the file you provided me off-list it looks like the file is split in two. Right there within 19 0 object it just ends. I guess this file is the product of an aborted download? I guess you could fire up your favorite hex editor and try to add the necessary stream and object end markers, adjust the length indicator for the last object and hope that some tool can then do the rest. However, that's much work for a 36k PDF that is incomplete anyway. Regards, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-user] What's the /dev/* entry for my DVD drive?
Hi, gentoo. I want to mount a CD rom in my SATA DVD drive. Having inserted the CD into the drive, I can't find an entry in /dev for it. I know the drive and the CD are working, because I installed my system using them. :-) My HDDs are on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. When I stick a USB stick in, it it becomes /dev/sdc. However, my DVD drive is not /dev/sdc, it's not /dev/sdd. I've tried 'ls -lrt /dev', yet there's not entry there after boot time. Would somebody please help me to mount this CD.

[gentoo-user] emerge --depclean removed python 2.6
After a recent update I got python 2.7 installed. The emerge --depclean command removed python 2.6 which I thought would be alright since I now have 2.7. I also used eselect python to set 2.7 as my default. Now revdep-rebuild has a load of broke links that are due to 2.6 being missing. Now vi and other stuff doesn't work. What should be done next?

[gentoo-user] Raid1 (continued) mdadm
Hello, New day, and a fresh approach to fixing the raid one install. Following this doc (no lvm no intramfs): http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml The disk were all resync'd (end of last thread). Since this is a simple 3 partition 2 disk mirror (identical drives formatting) and I want to mirror all three (/boot, /, swap) I used these commands: mdadm --create /dev/md127 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 --metadata=0.90 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 mdadm --create /dev/md125 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 --metadata=0.90 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 mdadm --create /dev/md126 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 --metadata=0.90 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 So do I need to issue these commands? If so, are they correct?

The use of 'G' as a unit was only recently added, in PHP 5.1.0. Try
using 'M' instead, and multiplying by 1024.
I would also suggest using a number under 4 gigabytes, as you risk
overflowing a 32-bit integer. Does '3072M' work?
Thanks, that was it. Changing 4G to 4192M in pnp.ini did solve the issue.
