[gentoo-user] hald issue
Folks; Just merged hal, dbus, and ivman. dbus starts, but hald does not and there is no hint in the /var/log/messages as to why. Running kernel 2.6.16 (kde-3.5.2) Starting hald gives the following output, but nothing else # /etc/init.d/hald start * Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)... * Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)... * Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)... * Re-caching dependency info (mtimes differ)... * Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer daemon ... [ !! ] ivman cannot start cos it depends on a running hald Any clues to help solve this issue 'll be appreciated. Are there other easy to configure packages that offer the same functionality as ivman out there? TIA -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When you emerged the split ebuilds, what did you emerge? This is an aspect of Gentoo that I don't understand very well. the various kioslaves block other packages and vice-versa. For example, kdepim blocks kdepim-kioslaves, and kdebase blocks kdebase-kioslaves. Same goes for kdemultimedia and kdemultimedia-kioslaves.

Update kde as usual, then # emerge -av --depclean Make sure that portage doesn't offer to remove packages you want to keep installed! Also a good idea to run revdep-rebuild afterwards. As this version of kde is slotted I believe that after your compilation finishes, and you find the new KDE in working state, you should: emerge prune kde emerge -va prune arts and then run emerge -av --depclean After depclean there will be a few leftovers from kde if I recall well. You may find them looking at /usr/kde/3.3/ and finding packages that own files left there. qpkg -f /usr/kde/3.3/some-file emerge -va prune the-package-found-if-it-is-part-of-kde Some files will not belong to any package, you may delete them, some packages will have to be rebuild to use the new KDE version and leave the old - dev-db/knoda in my case... Surely you may cook a nice script that will find and clear the KDE leftovers in more hackish way, but it was very hot the day I was doing this and my brain cooling system was not working properly... :-) Remember to run revdep-rebuild -p after you remove some packages. It may help you to find ones that need to be unmerged, and it is anyway a good habit to run it. HTH. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
