cairomm now uses X.  That it won't compile must be some other problem.

BTW, bind needs


LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -ldl" emerge bind


to compile, is that a bug?

Not always. But if the software was written using the non standard SQL that is 
common when the developers only know MySQL then you are likely to find that the 
SQL is invalid for other databases.

This shouild be an easy example, which is quite common (google).
So, let's just say that I run across mysql -- pgsql quite often to the

I deal with migrations and integration projects on a daily basis as part of my

The tools that exist to make these things easier require plenty of practice and 
experience to use properly.
For your usecase, if not too often, I would recommend exporting the DDL (all 
create table/index/ statements) and export the table contents to CSV files 
(with headers to ensure data goes back to correct columns)

I mean to point out that according to your logs, mysql did in fact appear to 
start. Then it stopped. Ignoring the hour in the timestamps in case it's 
timezone differences, this means that according to your logs mysql ran for 
something like 23 minutes.

This does not mean it does not start as you claim.
It means something is killing it.
You need to go find what that is. I can't help you with that, you are the only 
one in front of your computer.

No.  The USE flag is only for packages where MySQL is optional.  If a 
package can't be used without MySQL, there's no mysql USE flag for it.




I am thinking that x11-libs/qt-sql-4.6.2 may be what started this
emerge of mysql.


No, that one has MySQL as an optional dep and therefore it obeys the 
mysql USE flag.  To see which installed packages pull-in mysql, use:


  equery depends mysql

If the output starts with (mysql? then that package only pulls mysql 
if the USE flag is set.  If it shows a package pulling mysql without the 
(mysql? part, then you've found the culprit.

 How is Kmail/Konqueror behaving on KDE4?

Kmail is running fine. There are some problems, but there also were with 
3.5, it crashed quite often, sometimes several times a day. With version 4, 
I had a single crash only.

My bug list for kontact/kmail:
- I can have multiple mail folders opened at once, which is nice, but new 
mails do not appear then. They show up in the folder tree, but so display 
them, I have to change into another folder and than back.
- While fetching new mail, I cannot open a new mail folder.
- New folders (created on the IMAP mail server) are not shown automatically.
- I can search for messages, but cannot open the ones I found.
- Saved attachments were empty, but I cannot reproduce that now, it's 
probably fixed.
- Sometimes when logging in, kontact complains it is already running and 
asks whether it should really be started. If I say yes, it crashes, if I say 
no, it does not start. No problem when starting manually the nest time.

Konqueror is great. New features:
- It allows opening of recently closed objects.
- When it dies, at next start a dialog asks whether the last session should 
be restored. The restored session also has all the history, so I can use the 
back button.

Konqueror bugs:
- I always have garbage in the status line, showing parts of other opened 
tabs.
- Sometimes, a tab has scrolling problems. That is, I scroll down a little, 
but only the very top ob the page is updated. If I scroll fast, more is 
updated, if I scroll a whole page down, the display is okay. Workaround is 
to open the same page in a new tab.
- When saving images by drag'nDrop into a dolphin folder I am always being 
asked whether to copy, move or to crate a shortcut, even if I press the Ctrl 
key.
- For a few times, the mouse vanished when inside konqueror. Did not happen 
since I use 4.3.
- With KDE  4.3, the bookmark editor crashes when moving a second entry to 
another location.
- Also with KDE  4.3, mouse gestures in konqueror did not work at all, but 
this is fixed.
- Oh, and also the fish:// protocol is working again!

So, these are minor problems only, both kmail and konqueror run better than 
in KDE 3.5, at least for me. But I do not use konqueror as file manager any 
more, I am trying out dolphin.

Sounds promising - I've had no Kmail 3.5 crashes that I can think of
so it may be OK with 4 too.  Thanks for sharing.

KMail is fine on 4.3.2. I had issues with it randomly crashing when I moved 
mails around, but that seems to have been sorted with the latest version.

Konqueror - well now, that's a different story:

- web shortcuts (gg:  wp:  etc) do not work. At all. Period.
- randomly suddenly using 100% cpu when visiting forum sites (NO flash). Only 
workaround is to kill konqueror
- fish:// does not work
- last merged toolbar item in toolbars randomly moves around, often triggered 
by switching between filemanager and browser modes
- plugin support is awful. Forget AJAX, it does not work which counts out 
gmail and half the support sites I use at work

Oh dear!  Have you confirmed these on different machines - just in case?

I have removed pambase from world (how did that end up in there?) and
rebuilt PyQt4 with sql and webkit, as well as net-libs/libgadu with
threads that came up when I tried to run update world.  Now I have a
lorry load of KDE4 packages wanting to be installed:

238 packages (3 upgrades, 131 new, 103 in new slots, 1 reinstall, 2
uninstalls), Size of downloads: 484,302 kB
Conflict: 2 blocks

I will probably have to face this sooner rather than later.  What's
the best way to do this?  Uninstall *everything* from KDE3.5 and then

I also had some problems, when moving some thousands of IMAP mails, but I

They do here. I have configured them to have a blank as separator instead of

That is incorrect and the reason why is CLEARLY explained in the gentoo

USE=kdeprefix is not supported under any circumstances and has not effect on

It doesn't, it needs nepomuk which in turn needs soprano with either the

 How can I avoid installing java?

Either merge soprano with USE=redland or set USE=-semantic-desktop
to do without nepomuk altogether.

I'm afraid the -semantic-desktop USE flag did not cut it.  So, I
emerged dev-libs/soprano with -java +redland and all seems good.

A few more things that look odd are:

[ebuild  N] net-libs/libvncserver-0.9.1  USE=jpeg zlib -no24bpp
-nobackchannel 1,036 kB [0]
[ebuild  N] sys-boot/lilo-22.8-r2  USE=-device-mapper -minimal

[ebuild  N] dev-games/ggz-client-libs-0.0.14.1  USE=-debug 600 kB [0]

I don't really need a vnc server on this machine.  I also don't need

Use the --tree option with emerge to see what is bringing these in (KDE4
doesn't try to merge lilo here) and read the ebuilds if it is still not

I have also remerged portage and eix.  What else is there to try to fix this

AFAICT no and AFAICT nor should any other MySQL instance on any platform.

According to sql/share/charsets/README those files are only for simple
charsets, e.g., with single-byte characters. UTF-8 is multi-byte and
thus should be compiled in the strings library.

[gentoo-user] Re: MySQL 4.1 upgrade questions

[Grant]

 Hello, I'm upgrading my server from mysql 4.0 to 4.1 by following the
 instructions here:

 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrading.xml

 I noticed this piece of instruction:

 emerge --config =mysql-4.1.micro_version

 What does that do?  From what I remember, I need to password the grant
 table and create a new table for my data with the proper name,
 username, and password.  Does that sounds right?  Does the emerge
 --config command take you through any of that or do I need to figure
 out (remember) how to do it manually?

 - Grant

Nevermind, that was ridiculously easy.  All I had to do was run emerge
--config and I'm back in business.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: mysql no longer working :-(

[Antoine]

...

If you still have a copy of your old databases and you stick with myisam
tables
Try to:
- stop mysql (check it with ps fax after)
- copy the old /var/lib/mysql/mysql dir into /var/lib/mysql/mysqlold
- copy the remaing databases in /var/lib/mysql/
- start mysql

Now you could play with your old tables pheraps

Good luck


I had to reinitialise phpmyadmin (of course!) because the data in the 
old database was no longer there!

[gentoo-user] Re: mysql no longer working :-(

[Antoine]

This is most annoying! I have not modified anything (though have been 
trying to install rt and some other trouble ticket systems) but it seems 
pretty dead. A remerge did nothing.


I ended up getting rid of the databases I had before (including one that 
rt tried to create) and reinitialised with the ebuild config command. 
Now I have it working... but for some reason phpmyadmin doesn't work 
anymore. It asks me for a username and password but won't accept a valid 
username.

your doc states:

SQL
 Structured Query Language (ISO 9075, DB, 4GL)

According to Allen G. Taylor, SQL does _not_ stand for
Structured Query Language.  That, like SEQUEL (and its
pronunciation /see'kw*l/), was just another unofficial name
for a precursor of SQL.  However, the IBM SQL Reference manual
for DB2 and Craig Mullins's DB2 Developer's Guide say SQL
_does_ stand for Structured Query Language.

So I think you have to correct (S)tandard to (S)tructured

Right.

 
 And, you say that it let you set a password, once, and now nothing
 works?  If so, that makes perfect sense, because once you have set the
 password, you can't do any mysqladmin commands without the password!

sure - makes sense. Thanks.
 
 Using password: NO means that it didn't get any password from you.
 
 You've got to keep separate: the mysql -p xyz that you use to
 authenticate in order to connect to the server; and the mysqladmin
 password xyz which means, set the password to xyz.

Right. Much to learn. I'm jsut a user and I guess mysql is required by

 After one successful mysqladmin -u root password xyz, every following

This one I'm having trouble with. More below.

 
 OR

This one works.

 
 Also note that you can specify -p  WITHOUT putting the password on the
