Re: [gentoo-user] Calibre Update Problems
Hello, i have run revdep-build now clean, say me something from sigel, but its not installed. I have run emerge -e system, run clean without errors. I have clean /usr/local/* complete. But the mistake is ever the same, i think its QtWebkit but im not sure. When i run calibre i become: siefke@gentoo-mobile : ~/.bin/skype $ calibre Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/calibre, line 20, in module sys.exit(main()) File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/main.py, line 415, in main app, opts, args, actions = init_qt(args) File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/main.py, line 85, in init_qt from calibre.gui2.ui import Main File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/ui.py, line 39, in module from calibre.gui2.init import LibraryViewMixin, LayoutMixin File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/init.py, line 17, in module from calibre.gui2.library.views import BooksView, DeviceBooksView File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/library/views.py, line 17, in module from calibre.gui2.library.delegates import (RatingDelegate, PubDateDelegate, File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/library/delegates.py, line 22, in module from calibre.gui2.dialogs.comments_dialog import CommentsDialog File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/dialogs/comments_dialog.py, line 7, in module from calibre.gui2.dialogs.comments_dialog_ui import Ui_CommentsDialog File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/dialogs/comments_dialog_ui.py, line 52, in module from calibre.gui2.comments_editor import Editor File /usr/lib/calibre/calibre/gui2/comments_editor.py, line 17, in module from PyQt4.QtWebKit import QWebView, QWebPage ImportError: /usr/lib/qt4/libQtWebKit.so.4: undefined symbol: ubrk_isBoundary_49 Skype give the same msg: siefke@gentoo-mobile : ~/.bin/skype $ ./skype ./skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/qt4/libQtWebKit.so.4: undefined symbol: ubrk_open_49 I have search in internet, on Gentoo list is the problem talk and it seems it were the icu libs. http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/gentoo-user-update-dev-libs-icu-51-1-results-borked-dolphin-help-211135682.html But what can do?

[gentoo-user] Dolphin's nfs:// kioslave transfers files slowly
Hi, Dolphin has a kioslave for nfs, used as nfs:// and mine runs slowly :-) A transfer from my laptop to my media server using a regular nfs mount runs at max speed (100Mb) over the LAN. Using nfs:// it's 15% of that at most, usually around 10Mb or so. I see the same thing at the office when comparing smb:// and a regular smbfs mount using cifs. I'm clueless about where to even start looking :-) What could explain this behaviour? [nfs:// and smb:// seem to use libs that implement those protocols, much like how XBMC uses libnfs, KDE just doesn't use the libnfs project to do it] -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
Re: [gentoo-user] Fine Tuning NTP Server
Hello Andrea, Thank you so much for your response! I was reluctant to include configuration related material for the sake of not insulting anyone however, on the server we have set: server tick.nrc.ca minpoll 64 maxpoll 1024 iburst prefer server tock.nrc.ca minpoll 64 maxpoll 1024 iburst restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 minpoll 64 # Synchronize Hardare Clock CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes The reason I manually set min/maxpoll is to be in compliance with ntp server requirements: minpoll/maxpoll may not be changed below the defaults of 64 seconds and 1024 seconds respectively. For the client, I have: disable auth broadcastclient server ntp.server.com prefer # Synchronize Hardare Clock CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes As for /etc/conf.d/ntpd, we have set nothing. To be honest I did not even know the file existed till you mentioned it: NTPD_OPTS=-u ntp:ntp I would have liked to be better prepared for this but the gentoo wiki page has been down for a few weeks now. We are not looking for microsecond synchronization however, down to the second would be nice! Kind Regards, Nick.
[gentoo-user] vsftpd syslog-ng: enemies?
Hi Gentoo-users, I have strange problem: I want to collect vsftpd-logs by syslog-ng, so I added this single line at the end of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf: syslog_enable=YES Then I restarted vsftpd, but now I can not connect to it! I do not get login/password prompt, all I see is: $ ftp 10.0.0.173 Connected to 10.0.0.173 (10.0.0.173). 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_cmd ftp I removed that above mentioned line from vsftpd-config, restarted vsftpd, tried again. And everything works as expected. So the problem is caused by that single line. But why syslog_enable option does not work? Apart from that my vsftpd.conf is default as it comes with vsftpd-installation, nothing changed. The same is true for syslog-ng.conf. I noticed one more strange thing: whenever I restart vsftpd (/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart), I see messages on the screen but nothing is saved to /var/log/messages (or to any other log-file). When I restart any other service (i.e. sshd, sendmail, bind), corresponding message is recorded to /var/log/messages. Why is it not so in case of vsftpd? It seems to me vsftpd has problem accessing /dev/log... Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists! Everything else is considered to be spam and therefore deleted.

Can i install icu* 49, or what should do now. The mistake is on Laptop and on Desktop. It may have nothing to do with your problem, but have you run python- updater? I did that just now and it's rebuilding 16 packages, including PyQt4. Not the same as QtWebKit I know, but I'm clutching at straws now. Any time I suspect an inconsistency in my system I run python-updater, then perl-cleaner, then revdep-rebuild. It sometimes helps.

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Setting size of /dev/shm or cleaning up ancient /etc/fstab
On Wed, May 08, 2013 at 08:43:53AM +0200, Alan McKinnon wrote a tmpfs defaults to half ram size. If yours is 10M, then quite obviously you run some code somewhere that does it different :-) You could go through the effort of tracking down why. Unless this is a default behaviour of mdev which needs debugging, pathcing and fixing, I don't think you should spend any brain cycles on this, just add this to the mount options size=50% I think I found the root of the problem, in /etc/init.d/mdev mount_it() { if fstabinfo --quiet /dev ; then mount -n /dev else # Some devices require exec, Bug #92921 mount -n -t tmpfs -o exec,nosuid,mode=0755,size=10M mdev /dev fi } I replaced size=10M with size=50% and rebooted.

The soname version number does not necessarily have to be the same as the release version, as you see in this case, it's actually somewhat common. MOST packagers try to keep them the same but there's no technical reason for them to be. Most noticeably I see a lot of KDE-related packages having so versions that differ from the release version. In this case I guess it is because QtWebkit kind of exists on its own, despite being part of Qt proper since 4.8-ish. Probably QtWebKit interface changes are happening on a different schedule than Qt version releases so they have to keep bumping the so version? Maybe somebody with more knowledge of Qt would know for sure.

[gentoo-user] fdisk warnings during install; questions
I'm using the 20130207 install iso. This is to enable me to get a *REALLY* predictable NIC name, namely eth0, but I digress. The 2 warnings I get are... 1) WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. I've repartitioned it 3 or 4 times, but it still comes up with that error when I fire up fdisk. Is it a problem, and if so, can I dd a few sectors to remove whatever it's complaining about? 2) The device presents a logical sector size that is smaller than the physical sector size. Aligning to a physical sector (or optimal I/O) size boundary is recommended, or performance may be impacted. The fdisk p command gives the following output header Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes The fdisk default seems to be to start partition 1 at sector 2048.

[gentoo-user] Annoying structure of /var/db/pkg/category/package-name database
Having package data in /var/db/pkg/category/package-name carries the nuisance factor that finding a package involves a fishing expedition through many possible categories. I am spoiled by having /var/db/pkg/package-name in NetBSD pkgsrc and FreeBSD ports, though FreeBSD is wsitching to a different structure nkwon as pkgng. Is there any way to configure so as to avoid this annoyance in Gentoo? Like maybe making /var/db/pkg/package-name? One can do ls /var/db/pkg/*/package-name but this is still an annoyance. I have some limited experience with Gentoo Linux on my older computer. Compiling the kernel took 130 minutes, and then the kernel failed to boot. Tom
