If I then select Import--Camera, I get the message Failed to connect to camera. The correct mount point was created. BTW, I AM a member of the plugdev group. Colleen, I had the same problem with my Canon G11. Digikam recognises it as a Canon Powershot G11 but doesn't display images. I've left it installed, and installed another instance, just as plain old USB PTP Class Camera, and it displays, downloads, deletes just fine. Bogo

I've been running an amd64 nfs mount successfully for some months on this machine until around about mid August (difficult to tell exactly when as I had temporary wireless network about then because of building alterations) but from that point on have had major problems trying to mount the nfs directory. No point in going though all the error codes etc. again as they are pretty similar to yours - main one is always mount: RPC: Timed out, but I have variations. Like you I _never_ get it to mount from boot as it always did in earlier days: now, with a bit of patience, and re-running nfs, nfsmount - and sometimes portmap scripts, I can sometimes get it to mount. Sometimes I can get it to mount using the manual mount command. Other times it just plain refuses to do anything until I go away for an hour or so - then come back and take it by surprise with nfsmount or manual mount and wham, bam we're away laughing! Or sort of. I've googled extensively and followed up avenue after avenue, wiki after wiki: I've recompiled nfs-utils, portmap, baselayout. I've altered hosts.allow and hosts.deny, etc., etc., and then tried all Emil's suggestions as on this thread. But I still get nowhere, and I think I've now spent so much time on it that I really can't see the wood for the trees! It's obviously something so simple, but I just can't see it. Feel a bit of a prat, but this morning was the last straw when I thought I'd better join your thread: no success until I left it and went away for an hour - then came back and input mount -t nfs 192.168.0.216:/usr/portage /mnt/nfs_portage/ and away we went. All ok, just in time for a cronjob emerge --sync. But not very satisfactory. It's almost as though the original mount called by the scripts and earlier efforts takes some time to die, and a fresh instance does the trick! But I don't know enough about the process to know if that's so - I just seem to recall someone somewhere in my endless searches saying something along those lines ... Strange that it's just the two of us to be afflicted by this at about the same time? AAMOI have you tried taking your machine by surprise? Bogo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

either what was current (5.2.1-r7) or newer version (5.3.0-r1) and needless

[gentoo-user] Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version [New Thread]
Hi - have re-compiled as indicated, but it hasn't helped. Now running
2.6.12-gentoo-r10 without problems, but still have the previous error on
*some* ebuilds i.e. svgalib lm_sensors.
As established earlier correct links are all in place, the correct .config is
in the source, directory, as is Makefile - and /include/linux/verion.h
exists.
I have googled extensively, including gentoo forums, where similar errors have
been produced, but nothing suggested solved my problem. Most were related to
non-existent .config and/or Makefile.
Following is the error message:
snip
!!! ERROR: media-libs/svgalib-1.9.21-r1 failed.
!!! Function linux-info_pkg_setup, Line 526, Exitcode 1
!!! Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version
snip
When I look at Line 526 in /usr/portage/eclass/linux-info.eclass I find the
following:
snip
525linux-info_pkg_setup() {
526get_version || die Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version
527[ -n ${CONFIG_CHECK} ] check_extra_config;
snip
From here on in - I'm struggling with bash and can't make sense of it: any
pointers would be appreciated.
Bogo

AAMOI do you also have source link as well as build Matthias? My build link must have been created when I first installed gentoo, the source must have been created when I last recompiled i.e. August 27. Don't know whether that's significant.

Thanks Holly for your contribution (always enjoy your analyses of these problems - one reason I love this list!) Yes, it has been configured and compiled - the last time being the link date Matthias pointed out was created: August 27. I guess I can always re-compile, etc. as Dave has pointed out - but I'd rather get to the bottom of this one first if I can. A gentoo forum search was talking about modversion.h being present in the compiled version, but I think they must have meant version.h - which I see is in the compiled sources - but not in the unconfigured/uncompiled sources. Mine in linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 contains: rugosa linux # cat version.h #define UTS_RELEASE 2.6.11-gentoo-r4 #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132619 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) 16) + ((b) 8) + (c)) This is dated Apr 3, the original compile date - not the latest Aug 27. I guess I'd thought it might have been re-made on re-compile. Don't know whether this might mean something?

[gentoo-user] HDD LED flashes constantly in X
Ever since I emerged KDE 3.4 this week the LED for my HDD's have developed a regular 2 per second flash - while the system is sitting ostensibly idle. Can't see anything significant in the way of processes (top ps aux), and googling produces nothing similar anywhere. When I close X, the rhythmic beat of the LED stops! Performance doesn't seem affected, but the thought of this constant churn disturbs me. Any ideas appreciated.

Stop I'm guessing that maybe you are using USE=savedconfig improperly which requires you to provide your own .config? Look in the ebuild: if use savedconfig ; then [[ -r .config ]] rm .config Thanks Zac, but I've not got USE=savedconfig set. The ebuild's IUSE=savedconfig, though - and the if use... line above is included. I've tried setting and unsetting it - no diff. Any other advice gratefully received!
