Hi,

thanks for all the help.

An update this morning has fixed the problem...but good to know
the backgrounds and workarounds, if anything like that happens
again... ;)

Hi,
 
 I switched to waterfox for privacy reasons and it supports the older
 plugin system.
 No need to stay to older version (keeping older bugs, which may
 affect seurity) ...

 Waterfox is opensourced and it has a smaller memory footprint.

Hi,

sorry for my horrific bad English. I will try to explain, what I
intended to do, again. Hopefully this time with more success:

There is a package, which is "selfcontained". As an example here:
Blender, which can easily be downloaded from builder.blender.org as
*.bz2 archives, is also "selfcontained" as it includes everything,
what it needs to run successfully.

Despite the fact, that this way of packaging makes a software quite
independant from the layout of the distribution it will be installed
on, the maintainer of that package only support Debian/Ubunto and
has publishes onlu the commands needed to instruct the package
management system of thoses systems to install that software -- as
mentioned -- on Debian/Ubuntu-like systems.

As I am using Gentoo and wanted that package and didn't found any
other source and this package uses qt4 (included), I asked on this
mailing list for help, how to get access to the physical package,
which I wanted to unpack (low level) and try to get it working
somehow.

I dont asked on a Debian/Ubuntu mailing list as these are for
questions about -- beside other related things -- installing 
packages on Debian/Ubuntu.

I asked on this mailing list, since I wanted to run that
Debian/Ubuntu package on a Gentoo system.

Cheers

[gentoo-user] Ubuntu with Gentoo somehow...

[tuxic]

Hi,

is there a way to download the archive (or how is it called in the
world of Ubuntu ?) of a program, from which I only know the 
apt-get and apt-install commands?
And how can I do the same for a developer release of that program
when I additionally know the ppa (whatever that is...?)

I onlu need the archives of the complete program. Like Blender
the archive is "all inclusive" ... :

Thanks a lot for any help!

[gentoo-user] Problems with Jack D.

[tuxic]

Hi,

I have some strange problems with jackd.

1.) With my setup it ha worked for a long time. 
2.) Suddenly it stops working (cant say, when exactly but I guess in
the last month.
3.) Symptoms:
When starting qjackctrl, the gui does not start. Instead no
mouse action is working anymore except for cursor movements.
I have to CTRL-C qjackstrl.

Jackd does not play sound. If jackd is started, waterfox/palemoon
do not play sound (YouTube for example), firefox, which was
compiled to use alsa directly works.
When jackd is stopped, waterfox/palemoon produce sound.

The kernel log files do not show anything suspicious.
/var/jackd.log is empty but of a current timestamp.

I recompiled both jackd and qjackctrl with no successful
result using the compiled execytables.

I tried to start jackd as user and as root to possibly find permission
problems, but jackd does not work in both cases.

What can I do to get them working again?

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!
Cheers!

[gentoo-user] Two (related?) problems: Vivaldi (no sound) and qjackctrl (disables mouse)...?

I got two problems, which have to do woth "sound" ... more or less.

First one: The vivaldi browser does not produce any audio...

but with no success.

I use alsa and jackd - no pulseaudio and such.

Searching for "gentoo vivaldi no sound" gave my a couple of links,
which all mention the ubuntu package mentioned above.

What can I do Gentoo-like to enable audio with Vivaldi ?

Second problem is a little spooky:
(Previously this has worked without problems...)

When I start qjackctrl, the mouse buttons and keyboard get disabled.
Caps-Lock still switches the LED and the cursor is still moving.

I have installed this:
[I] media-sound/qjackctl
 Available versions:  0.4.5 {alsa dbus debug portaudio}
 Installed versions:  0.4.5(12:12:35 PM 03/11/2018)(alsa -dbus -debug 
-portaudio)
 Homepage:http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/
 Description: Qt GUI to control the JACK Audio Connection Kit and 
ALSA sequencer connections

I tried enableing dbus but a successfull recompilation the problem is
still the same.

Any idea, what's going on here...it feels like starting firefox
switches of my TV 

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

[gentoo-user] [OT] Kinda "try ... catch" in a shell script...how

[tuxic]

Hi,

I have a coyple of files on my harddisk and on a mobile usb-disc.

Their names are of that pattern:

 something--something

where 'soemthing' can be totally different from file to file and
'' is a checksum, which does not match the checksum of the
according file.

I want to delete the files on my harddisk, which has a ''
which matches the '' of the according file on the mobile 
harddisk.

The problem arises from a line of the shellscript I wrote.

# code to extract the checksum from the file and put into
# a variable named crc

if [ -f /*$crc* ] ; then

# remove file on PC harddisk here

fi

As soon the file is not found, the script ends with an 'Not found'
error, which '-f' is exactly for, because the expanding comes before
the '-f'...

So I need something else or a try-catch-thingy to make that work...but
how?

Or do I miss the forest for the trees here... ;)

Thanks a lot for the forest in advance!
Cheers

[gentoo-user] after masking the X11-update due to nvidia-incompatibilities I got this...

[tuxic]

Hi,

please help me to decipher this from emerge

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy 
"dev-qt/qtgui:5[accessibility]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-qt/qtgui-5.9.4-r3::gentoo (Change USE: +accessibility, this change 
violates use flag constraints defined by dev-qt/qtgui-5.9.4-r3: 'any-of ( eglfs 
xcb ) accessibility? ( dbus xcb ) eglfs? ( egl ) ibus? ( dbus ) libinput? ( 
udev ) xcb? ( gles2? ( egl ) )')
(dependency required by "media-sound/picard-2.0.0_beta1::gentoo" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])


What is unclear to me is the message saying, that fixing this will
violate something else...orwhat?

Thanks a lot for any deciphering in advance!

Hi,

I git this this morning:
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled

Hi Neil,

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Is --changed-deps going to be *that* useless?

Sorry...a typo...

It has to be 463 packages NOT 4563 packages...

Hi,

Pulseaudio is neither installed not running.

And...after a nigth of compilation all that packages I synced
again this mprning to be sure to get all updates...
I go this


Again 4563 packages to be updated...
This time I got conflicts too.

Please guys of the dev...if changing a central package which will
cause massive recompilations...please do all those updates in 
one go...not one after the other.

Sigh


Anyhow: How can I resolve the conflicts at the end of that list?

Frustrated,

[gentoo-user] Closing TAB of Firefix stops Video/Audio playback system wide...

[tuxic]

Hi,

whenever I close a TAB of Firefox the playback of video or/and audio
ist stopped for seconds. After that it starts, where it has stopped
before.

I am using Firefox with alsa (compiled locally via emerge).

What can cause this?

Cheers

[gentoo-user] File collision dvtm

Hi,

while updateing I got a file collision.

The error message starts with a lengthy explanation what to
do NOT (reporting a bug, if there is only one ackage affected)
but it is say nothing WHAT to do, when one package is affected.

So,...

One package is affected...what can I do?

Cheers

Hi Floyd,

the unrenamed files are the only ones with the correct timestamp.
Therefore 'touch' has to access them.
But their filenames contain the poisonous characters.
And the circle starts right from the beginning.
The problem arises at that moment, where I need to feed the name
of a single file what program ever, since first there is the shell...
even when calling other programs.

Hi Stroller,

this seems to be an egg<->chicken problem.

I like to wrap detox with a script, which will do you magic trick.
Since I want to get rid of those evil characters (...) in the filename, 
which normally intercept shell processing, I want to use detox,
which in turn will be called by a shell script in turn, to do the 
time machine magic. To do so, I need detox, to sanitize the
filenames from the evil characters, which normally intercept.
.stack overflowrecursion depth failure.process killed.

You know

I am using zsh...

Any idea to get a chicken OR an egg instead of an scrambled egg with
feathers??? ;)

[gentoo-user] detox'ing files by keeping their time stamp?

[tuxic]

Hi,

when downloading files from non-UNIX sites, they often contain
"poisonoys" characters like '#', ' ', ''' or that alike.

With the tool 'detox' those filenames could be fixed.

But detox changes the time stamp of the files, which 
filenames are altered (not all files, which are examined).

Therefore a 'detox *' in a directory will completly shuffle
the file order when listed via 'ls -rtl' (RTL is a TV broadcaster,
but this is another story... ;) )

Is there a way to either get detox not to alter the time stamp (I
looked into the manpage but found nothing) or any other neat trick
to restore the time stamp afterwards?

Thanks for any in advanced for saveing my time(stamps!) :)

Cheers

Hi,

try 'uBlock origin' and 'uMatrix' for a more specific block. You can
even block certain elements of a webpage by simply clicking on
them. Dont use uBlock (that one without the 'origin' in its name),
since as far as I know it is no longer developed.
Both do a good job for keeping your data yours, too.

[gentoo-user] BFQ scheduler ... undefined symbol while shutdown ?

[tuxic]

Hi,

I am using a good ole' harddisc with some rotating metal plates...
;)

To get more throughput I had set  CONFIG_IOSCHED_BFQ / BFQ scheduler
in the kernel sources of 4.15.1 /.2 /.3 and while the kernel was
running anything seems to be fine.

Then while the box was shutting down the kernel, the shutdown process
hangs and error messages were printed to the screen: Anythong about
"missing/unreferenced symbols".

I am using kernels downloaded from kernel.org.

Two question: 
1) What kills the BFQ that hard?
2) Is it recommended for spinning disks anyhow and what may be better?

Thanks a lot for any help!

[gentoo-user] Failed builds of kbuild and cdrdao with "undefined reference to `__alloca'"

[tuxic]

Hi,

I still have the problem of failed builds due to an
'undefined reference to `__alloca''. I recompiled 
gcc/glibc and I am using linux-4.15.1 (from kernel.org)
with linux-headers 4.15. .

Affected are (at least) cdrdao and kbuild.

For me "alloca" (memory allocation_) seems to be quite fundamental
and if this would really be not availlable I think a lot more
builds would fail...

I am using gcc (Gentoo 7.3.0 p1.0) 7.3.0. I recompiled glibc.
I did https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_GCC

What can cause this problem and how can I fix it?

Cheers

Hi Dale,

thanks for the info and help!

Just a few seconds before I found the reason for all that reasons :)

It seems that -- exactly as you said -- this option prevents
reemergeing of the same packages again.

If you want to force an update "gnu/foobar" (for example) you need to
submit

emerge --selective=n gnu/foobar

which temporarily overwrites --changed-deps.

By the way: I appreciate helps like yours much more than just pointing
to the obvious docs. ;)

Cheers!

[gentoo-user] Forced rebuild of a package...how?

That is valid for the previous installed kernel...but not for the one 

This was updated just before

[gentoo-user] "eselect (c)python --list" corrupted somehow?

Why do I have doubled entries?

[gentoo-user] Firefox, pulseaudio and waiting for rust to build...

[tuxic]

Hi,

I switched from firefox-bin to firefox to get rid of the pulseaudio
dependancy ... which seems to imply, that rust is build also.

I only have an AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor...and building
rust takesquite.some.time.

Is it valid to replace rust (from source) by rust-bin?

Is it as easy as

emerge -C rust

and after unmasking the appropiate version of rust-bin

emerge rust-bin 

?

Are there any drawbacks or will it work flawlessly?

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

Hi,

thanks a lot for all the input.

I disabled pulseaudio via USE flag and recompiled the whole stuff.
And VOILA! : Sound without apulse and pulseaudio! NICE!

Hi Dale,

I am on UTC+1 here...

Thanks for the USEful :) hint!
Will see how far it goes. Currently rust is compiling and is
periodically
eating all my memory and my box starts swapping...

This will take a while.
As soon I have further results, I will be back!

Hi Dale,

one problem here is, that I am using firefox-bin, because compiling
firefox gave me compile errors in the past.

One dependency of firefox-bin ispulseaudio.

Currently I am trying to compile firefox and will see how far

Hi Dale,

thanks for the informations!

I tried Palemoon some time ago. I checked its security and privacy
feature with certain sites on the internet, which provide such
services and found some issues, which I wanted to discuss on their
forum. The answer was not to believe such sites and in result security
would be a matter of how much I believe in a certain software.  My
understanding is, that security is no believe system but a matter of
well done software engineering. Therefore I quit Palemoon and I am no
longer interested in it.

I looked into the linked page and interestingly the solution suggested
is exactlu what makes me headaches now: I have a blocker:

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.

  (media-plugins/alsa-plugins-1.1.5:0/0::gentoo, installed) pulled in by

...and apulse is one of it.

How can I get out of it?

[gentoo-user] linux-gazette masked: The total pollution of the output :)

[tuxic]

Hi,

everytime I emerge something, a LOONG list 
of installed linux-gazettes is printed on my terminal, 
which warns me -- for each single gazette -- that it will
be masked.

To find the real output in all this mess is at least difficylt.

Is there a way to supress that output other than deinstalling 
the linux-gazettes ?

Hi Frank,

thanks for your help! :)
Yes, Gimp would be one possibility...but I forgot to mention, that
I am looking for a command line tool...
I want to do 'mass dithering' and want neither a gui nor a 
heavy program like The Gimp.

I checked pbmplus and found no useful part for that porpuse...

[gentoo-user] [OT?]: In search of a program to do different b/w dithering methods

[tuxic]

Hi,

Happy New Year!!!

the programmable pocket calculator "DM42" offers OFFIMAGES,
which will be displayed, when the calculator is switched off.

The display is pure black and white.

For displaying (the illusion of) different shades of gray, one need
to convert the colored image into a so called "dithered" black and
white image (newspapers often use this trick).
Since -- in difference to the newspapers -- the pixels all have the
same size and can only be switched on or off only a few dithering
methods can be applied from which I want to choose the best suited
for a certain image.

The only problem: Which software can do this kind of conversion?

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

Hi Mick,

a shot into the dark:
Would it be possible, that not the profile as such has caused the
problem but the recompilation of such a lot of applications?

May be a default setup has discarded a path setting to your personal
settings of the application in question.

Try the following: "Fail and win" :)

Begin with the application, which is the one with is nearest to the
user -- for example the word processor or office syit.
Find the personal settings of that application and make a backyp of
it to a save place.

Load the config file/the ocnfig files and corrupt them (yes!).

Start the application.

If the application fails: Your settings will not be ignored.
If the application runs fine: You have found the application,
which was reset to "factory settings" via the recompilation.

Until you find that application step forward into the direction
of the printer (so to say) in choosing the application.

If you have found the application, which ignores ytour personal
setting you may have found the culprit.

>From the backup restore the settings then start the application and
point it to uour settings.

Restart the application.

May be this way you can figure out, what has happen.

[gentoo-user] Canary Pies

[tuxic]

Hi,

Currently I am scanning directories of my system with checksec to
identify relevant files of haveing "No PIE" or "No canary found" set.

Is there any technical reason for which such files cannot be compiled
in a way so they have "PIE" and "Canary found" set ?

How "dangerous" is that ?

[gentoo-user] PerlEmbed?

[tuxic]

Hi,

I am trying to compile the github clone of the Prusa Edition
of Slic3r.

It complains of not finding "PerlEmbed"...

I asked eix but it does not find anything directly.

Is this part of a package with a totally different name?

Thanks a lot for any help in advancee!
:)

Online I found articles which explain, why it is not recommended to
use alloca() at all:
RETURN VALUE The alloca() function returns a pointer to the beginning of the 
allocated space. If the allocation causes stack overflow, program behaviour is 
undefined.
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1018853/why-is-the-use-of-alloca-not-considered-good-practice)

How can I recompile make -- it is still non-PIE and one of those
application which I cant convince to be friendly to gcc :)

How serious is this alloca-thingy at all?

configure misses rpcgen...and seems not to evaluate the USE of

I didn't find any fix/patch online.

[gentoo-user] app-misc/screen-4.6.2 fails

[tuxic]

Hi,

while updateing app-misc/screen-4.6.2
I got this:

config.status: creating doc/Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: executing default commands

Now please check the pathnames in the Makefile and in the user
configuration section in config.h.
Then type 'make' to make screen. Good luck.

It looks like a certain texinfo file of this version has a problem.
I am no texinfo expert at all but looking at that file I dont see any
problem.

Does anyone else the problem?
What may trigger it?

My texinfon installation:

Blocking the package which gets blocked by its previous one?
Is this a wprkaround, a solution ?
Feels weird...

[gentoo-user] Update is blocked by ots previous version...?

[tuxic]

Hi,

this morning in its endless wisdom emerge spake to me today:

| WARNING: One or more updates/rebuilds have been skipped due to a dependency 
conflict:
| 
| app-emulation/containerd:0
| 
|   (app-emulation/containerd-1.0.0:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

| ^ ^


I removed containerd yesterday and installed it again only to get the same
error this morning again.

Any away around this?

libstd++ failed

so...the less important packages so to say.

And after fixing those -- if possible -- I guess that I doomed

[gentoo-user] Again, emerge -e @world related questions...

[tuxic]

Hi,

what could fail, when doing the change to PIE-enabled applications
on base of the regular updates?
Compilation may fail, if libs are included and not flagged as to be
recompiled, which are of the "old standard"...
What else can fail? What may be the worst scenario?

Is there a way to do a "emerge -e @world" but only for the system
applications?

Would it be possible to do a "emerge -e @world" for the system
applications and then update the rest of the applications via the
regular updates of the system (and recompile failing components
manually because one obviously already know the reason) ?

Do I have to do a "emerge -e @world" from a certain kind of
"reduced system" i.e. starting the system without a desktop
first or boot into an even more reduced state aka "maintance
mode" (via grub) and make the disk rw by hand?
Or is even a much more esoteric doing necessary?

Cheers
Meino

[gentoo-user] Emerge does want to tell me...what?

[tuxic]

Hi,

I started emerge -e @world

and it stops with this message:

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
# /usr/portage/profiles/releases/17.0/package.mask:

=sys-devel/gcc-4.9.4


For me it is unclear, whether I should unmask or mask these compilers.
So I added them to /etc/portage/package.mask/.  ,restarted the whole
thing only to get the same message.

So...from the logical point of view unmasking would be the correct
waybut we are all urged to >gcc-6.4.0 ... so unmasking would be
wrong...also from a logical point of view.

Hi Heiko,

...sorry my question was unclear.

Suppose one would do an emerge @world...and then BOOOM! a powerfailyre
would stop the whole thing. Further suppose the filesystem, the
hardware and anything has survived luckily -- only emerge @world needs
to be restarted.
And one does NOT an emerge --resume but an emerge @world.
In this particular case...how does emerge knows from the previous
emerge @world what packages has been recompiled already and are "PIE"?

How can I check, whether a binary is "PIE"-conform ("pie-conform" is
a freaky funny language hack :) ;) )  ?

Delaying would not solve the problem as it is...

If the compilation will fail at a certain point (and it will fail,
since this is a complete new thing) -- would it be possible to resume
even some tweaks, hacks and patches (even certain recompilations)
would be needed in between?

Can I stop a running emerge @world and resume later?

How does a restarted emerge @world recognizes packages, which are
already compiled according to the new standard?

[gentoo-user] New profile 17: How urgent is the rebuild of world technically?

[tuxic]

Hi,

the instruction of the news item about the swicth to profile 17 says
that one needs to rebuild @world.

Is this technically needed?
Would it be possible to do this on base of the daily updates intead
all in one go?

Background: I simply need my PC more often as it would allow me
to wait (and fix...see previous mails in this mailing list) a
rebuild of world in one go.

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

Hi Ian,

I am happy to know, that your system is that stable and is not

It looks like deoends on packages, which could not be installed at the

I installed ffmpeg- and it compiles fines.

Everything else failed again (for example mpv-).

Why does an update of already ok installed applications
break something in parts because the installation
has components, which are mutually exclusive?
They weren't before (whichout the update everythong was fine...)

OK, I have found a way -- for all hesitating with this
closed-opensource AppImage-blobs:

chmod file.AppImage
./file.AppImage # wait ...
mount # find mount point of this sealed bag,,,mine was /tmp/.mount-someting
cp -a /tmp/.mount-something ~/somesaveplace


That's it.
Happy tinkering!

As so often, the persons 'up' in the hierarch decide things the people
'down' the hierarchy would keep their fingers off - but they will not
be asked.

I am 'down' the hierarchy and want to unpack that
archive/image/whatever.

Currently I am recompiling my kernel to support squashfs as it seems
that this image is one of that images.
If so, mounting it as an image and copying the files out of the
mountpoints directory may work.

Fingers crossed...

[gentoo-user] CURA font renderer

[tuxic]

Hi,

Since cura/curaengine (portage) does not compile on my system and is
relatively old I downloaded cura for Linux from www.ultimaker.com.

This runs on my system without the installation of addtional
applications/libraries.

Unfortunately the font rendering screwed up and makes menu entries,
text boxes etc. hard to read.

This is an issue with cure, since the cura blog lists postings of 
cura users, which have these kinds of problems on MacOSX (and nvida
cards).

I also run a nvidia card.

In the cura code the devs have already fixed that by switching the
font renderer (qs vs. native)...but this fix will be published
in cura 3.1 (current version is 3.04).

Something echoed in my brain to have similiar problems which an
application on Linux a long time ago and I fixed that by doing
"something" with the font renderer/font cache or such.

Any idea how to fix this font issue or trying to are very appreciated!
Cheers

[gentoo-user] [OT] AppImage? What's that?

[tuxic]

Hi,

I got an archive (???) of an Linux application, which
has the extension "*.AppImage".

What is that?
Is it possible to "unpack" that into something more common?
How to handle that?

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

Hi David,

I am using mutt here and vim to compose email...its a pure ASCII
thing. I looks like this

ABCDEFGHIJKLMN
12345678901023
.|-=+:
(I will attach a screenshot to this email)

export:
I know that. Its pure convenience...or lazyness in another context...
;)

Hi David,

vim shows lineending with :set list.

I xycat your compressed file directly into
/usr/local/portage//files/.
and the compilation runs through without problems.

No I have a running with no working graphical output.

I think I will give up...it is too much work to get this
old code successfully running ... for both of us.

Thanks a lot for youre help (exclamation mark) nonetheless, David!
Cheers

Hi,

did the following after the failed CRLF-fix:

(using zsh)
export PATCH_OPTS=-I; emerge structure-synth

which fails the same way...

Moin David,

;)

nope...currently the cat is more dead than alive...
I looked at it!


I did the following:

vim 
:set ff
unix
:set ff=dos
:wq
repoman -v manifest (since file has changed)

emerge structure-synth.

BADABOOM! (The fifth element)

Hello David,

OH MAN!

Thanks a lot for the extensive help, SIR! :)

Ok, it works now...and it doesn't...

The repository was found and compilation had started with the
*-r1 version of the wonderful beast.
(are you in 3D-printing, David?...?)

BUT:

Hi David,

thanks a LOT for the patch !!! This is one of the quickestestest :)
patch I ever got for a compilation problem! :) Yeah!

But it seems, that I am doing something wrong with the local
overlay...

I copied (as root)

cp -a /usr/portage/media-gfx/structur-synth /usr/local/portage/media-gfx/.

then

eix structure-synth

* media-gfx/structure-synth
 Available versions:  (~)1.5.0
 Homepage:http://structuresynth.sourceforge.net/
 Description: A program to generate 3D structures by specifying a 
design grammar

so no *-r1 version visible.

layman -l does not show up structure-synth

Then I tried different permutations of "media-gfx" (w/o) and
structur-synth in combination with layman -a in desperation ;)
no success

Previously I successfully added the palemoon overlay and compiled it
and compilation failed due to some code problems (which fails, but this a long 
long and different story).

So I think, that the layman engine is working correctly so far.
But the driver behind the steering wheels needs some instructions it
seems ;)
Where can I get my license?

Cheers

Hi Adam,

OH! :)
...and I thought, that the gcode is a write-only format, which cannot be 
"reversed"
into something a slicer would understand (only the printer)...

You see: It's time, that my printer finally arrived (it got stuck somehwere 
between
the UK and here) and get out of this "theoreticallu it may be. that"-thinking...

Thanks a lot Adam! Your solution is by far better than hand picking 
gcode-commands
and deciphering printer settings from that... :))

[gentoo-user] [OT] Extracting printer settings from a gcode file?

[tuxic]

Hi,

currently I am starting with 3D-printing.  I have watched a lot of videos of
how to create models, do bed leveling, (bad leveling, sometimes ;) choose
filaments, and what else...

Say one use a 3D-printer, which uses the a SDcard to read the gcode files.
Beside some basic settings (hot end temprature, bed temperature, filament feed
speed...I think that's it) all informations about the print process are in the
gcode file. There is no other way of feeding informations to the printer as the
gcode on that certain SDcard.

And slicer settings optimzed for a certain printer are seemingly one of the
treasures hunted a lot...

The printer I ordered (and which still hasn't arrived yet ...) comes with some
example gcode files. I would guess that the manufacturer has trimmed the slicer
settings he has used for these example files, are optimized to give the best
results with this printer -- its kind of an advertising.

Would be nice, if it could be possible to extract them from the gcode example
files in a way, that made it possible to feed them back into the slicer
software manually (not expecting to get a config file ready to be read directly
with that certain slicer software I want to use...) 

And as one has already feared...the question:;)
How can I do this?   

Cheers 
Meino

PS: I know qcode is an ASCII format...but understanding the codes to extract the
slicer settings is a totally different kind of task... ;)

After removing the rfkill-package everything compiles fine and addtionally
I got rfkill back.

I will using Facebook for being able to post to a certain "mailing list"
(or how is it called in facebook speak). If they will cancel my account...ok...
create a new one...just a practical approach.
