[gentoo-user] new English spellchecking dictionaries

[»Q«]

Many months ago, I posted that I was working on a new ebuild for
English spellchecking dictionaries.  For various reasons, my work
kept getting put on hold, but now Michael Palimaka has committed an
ebuild, app-dicts/myspell-en-20151201.  Since I brought it up before,
I'm bringing it up now to encourage testing.

It looks to me like it should Just Work for everyone.  Its source is a
LO extension which rolls the latest en dicts into one file,
.
(That that didn't yet exist when I was trying this, so I was trying to
use various sources, which is one of my excuses for not getting it
done.)

[gentoo-user] java virtual machine

[Frederico Moraes Ferreira]

Hi List,
I'm trying to set the java virtual machine as follows:


mephisto ~ # java-config --list-available-vms
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
*)Oracle JDK 1.8.0.66 [oracle-jdk-bin-1.8]

mephisto ~ # java-config --set-system-vm oracle-jdk-bin-1.8
Now using oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 as your generation-2 system JVM

ferreirafm@mephisto ~ $ java-config --set-user-vm oracle-jdk-bin-1.8
Now using oracle-jdk-bin-1.8 as your user JVM
#

Well, when I try to install some java application, it issues that no 
virtual machine

is in the PATH (as show bellow).


ferreirafm@mephisto ~/Downloads $ sh ./install-jalview.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable.  You must install a VM prior to
running this program.
#

I know I can set PATH in the .bashrc, but shouldn't
" java-config --set-user-vm" do the work?

Best,
Fred

I always wondered why it is not included in the stage3. It is very small and
– after all – basically everyone needs it in a new install (except for a
re-install for which one can write down the previous installation’s CFLAGS).

I thought I was sending an email to Alan but I was wrong.  I apologize
to Alan and to all gentoo users.

But, seriously, why do we keep making the same errers?

I do not know the answer to your question. But here is how I switch java 
virtual machines:


$ eselect java-vm list
Available Java Virtual Machines:
  [1]   icedtea-bin-7  system-vm
  [2]   oracle-jre-bin-1.7

$ eselect java-vm set user 2
or
$ sudo eselect java-vm set system 2

Because it's less effort than coming up with new ones.

  Yes, you should.  While you're at it, you can remove the corresponding
flags from the USE= variable.  I don't know if they're honored by
portage any longer.  I assume you missed the news item back in January.
It's archived and you can read it at...

I have some gstreamer stuff installed here and I didn't find any matches
either.  If that filelist site doesn't list it either, makes me wonder
what does install that file.  :/

[gentoo-user] What package provides gstreamer-app?

[waltdnes]

  I've successfully manually compiled Pale Moon (a Firefox fork), but it
doesn't play h264 files.  Apparently, I have to enable gstreamer for
that.  OK, I did it.  This time the build fails with...

configure:20206: checking for gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.25
  gstreamer-app-0.10
  gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10
*** Fix above errors and then restart with "make -f client.mk build"

  I built libgstreamer and the base plugins package.  It still fails.
I can't find which package provides gstreamer-app.  Searching Google
reveals that a lot of other people have the same problem.
http://www.portagefilelist.de/ doesn't have any results.  Any ideas?
