[gentoo-user] custom-kernels overlay vanished?
Hi! Since some weeks I'm an enthusiastic user of viper-sources. Pulling them in via the custom-kernels was a very convenient way of getting them. But since two or three days I cannot sync it anymore and as I see now it has completly from laymans overlay list. :( I searched in the forums (and via well known search engines) but didn't find anything useful. Does anybody know what happened to this overlay? Thanks for any pointers. Roman pgp82fNQ0tw8Z.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Revdep won't rebuild gphoto2-2.1.5
Am Mittwoch 06 Juni 2007 15:24 schrieb Kevin O'Gorman: I've got gphoto2-2.2.0 emerged, but revdep-rebuild keeps trying and failing to emerge gphoto2-2.1.5. I don't know why it even tries. equery depends ghpoto2 shows nothing, and gphoto2 does not appear in my world file (libgphoto2 does, however). What should I do to debug this? I'm not that interested in keeping the older version, so I don't think filing a bug makes much sense. I just need to figure out what is calling for the 2.15 version and fix that. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD It seems that this is still the result of a previous run of revdep-rebuild. Try deleting the ~/.revdep-rebuild* files. After that it should redetermine what packages to remerge. Roman pgpIEq97tpJEk.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] sharing portage directories when dual booting x86 and amd64
Am Freitag 25 Mai 2007 18:52 schrieb Allan Gottlieb wrote: As I mentioned, I would be dual booting into *either* x86 or amd64. There is only one computer (my laptop) involved; all filesystems are local. Since the two systems can never be booted simultanously you can AFAIK share all of those directories without problems. For DISTDIR this is especially useful to save download time... I'd recommend to use separate LOGDIR so you're able do distinguish what happened in which system. If you use ccache you'll probably want to separate those directories too, since the cache for one arch won't be usefull on the other arch. Roman pgpDEi24tf9Fj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Panic at boot time after update kernel to 2.6.20-r8.
Am Montag 14 Mai 2007 09:19 schrieb Neil Walker: :( Seems my chipset is one of those that doesn't support AHCI. Hi! I have a similar controller to yours and did some research recently. It seems that (allmost) all ICH7 controllers do support AHCI [1]. But I cannot activate AHCI anywhere in the BIOS. It seems this is due to some limitations of the BIOS. There was also a thread on another mailing list where it was suggested to update the BIOS. I'm currently pondering to do so but I'm not sure about how safe it is without having a winxp installation... Besides I'm not sure whether it would help.

[gentoo-user] static/dynamic linking libraries
I'm now using gentoo with EXTRA_ECONF=--disable-static for a while and it seems quite stable. Sometimes I encounter a package that won't build with this setting, but that's a rare occasion. At the moment this packages are for me: x11-libs/libXxf86vm sys-devel/gdb-6.6 dev-libs/jrtplib-3.5.2 dev-libs/libpcre sys-apps/ed I see that this way to disable static libraries is not perfect. Disabling static linking has - for me - before all the advantage of reducing size for most packages - for some packages up to 50%. So I'm curious why (nearly?) all ebuilds build static _and_ dynamic libraries? I understand that the current way is pretty hassle-free. But from my perspective a (possibly officialy unsupported) way to make things easier for people who wan't the choice would be fine. I'm sorry if there has been such a discussion already. Also I don't want to start a flame about what is the better choice (static or dynamic). regards Roman pgpexczcbVZPZ.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Intel High Definition Audio and its problems and experiencesGi
Hi! I have a similar card in my lenovo laptop. At first my mic did not work either, but then I found something: My resolution was: Try alsamixer -V all you will then be provided with more channels and hopefully a capture device. There you have to push space so CAPTURE appears in red. The same for the mic. Then unmute and turn up the capture and the mic device. Hopefully this works for you too. greets pgpe2nAsqBVn3.pgp Description: PGP signature
