And if so, what directory can I find that I can delete KDE from? You could delete the packages with emerge depclean, run with -p first. Since kde-meta is not installed, the KDE packages you have will not be dependencies of anything, so depclean will pick them up. However, removing your existing KDE packages is a bad idea, since the merge will have started with the basics, kdelibs, kdebase etc. You will only have to emerge these over again for any KDE emerge. I would install the basics with emerge kdebase-meta, then pick and choose any other packages you want.

Why do you think the larger packages are moving to a modular structure? This thread is about KDE, and while the monolithic packages are sytill available, the split ebuilds are the preferred choice. I fully agree (and have brought this up before months and years ago) -- I believe we should have binaries available for the big packages like KDE, OO, Gnome, etc. They are. OOo has always been available as a binary (only as a binary on some platforms) and other packages are on the GRP discs, where the dependencies issue Richard mentioned doesn't apply, since they are tied to a particular Stage 3 install. The compile times are only really an issue for initial installation, where Stage 3 + GRP brings the total time down to around an hour. Once your desktop is running, you can continue to use it while compiling updates. Ya'll that like to waste your time compiling can keep on doing that, while the rest of us would like to get some work done.

RedHat 8 NEVER worked that way for me. Because Red Hat uses binary packages, which raises incompatibilities. It is easy to install non-portage packages from source because everything else is also compiled from source.

[gentoo-user] gcc upgrade lessons
Howdy, Finally completed the gcc 3.4.4 upgrade and thought I'd pass along a few hard learned lessons. I run a mostly stable system updated almost daily. The sync is ran as part of cron.daily. Lesson #1, turn off cron portage scripts prior to multi-day emerge. Got bit by some Sun java package updates needing to be downloaded. I also use rsnapshot to keep some current backups around. Lesson #2, turn off rsnapshot prior to rebuilding the world. Can you say good bye to disk space? Yes, 36GB root down to 0. Lesson #3, Konqueror's File Size View is excellent. I wasted hours trying to figure out why I was running out of disk space until I discovered the File Size View which pointed the problem right at rsnapshot. Lesson #4, emerge --skipfirst --resume is GREAT. I kept a list of the three non-java packages that failed. After completing emerge -e world, I did a emerge sync, low and behold, those three packages had updates and then compiled successfully. The only side-effect I have noticed is that KDE 3.4 system sounds now work... :-) Have fun, Roy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It sure would be nice to be able to parse out video and other forms of ethernet data traffic into an individual readings with unique stats per application so what can see how much server resources a process or video stream is using. I'll be using mixed mode video, i.e. some mjpeg, some mpeg2 some H.264 some theora and maybe more. How else does one discern what's bogging down a video master(server) with lots of activity? Try looking at iptraf (net-analyzer/iptraf). It's a curses based interface to watch your network interfaces. The traffic monitor will show traffic flow for each different connection, and the interface statistics will show how much total traffic is going in and out on each interface, including real-time kb/sec data.

[gentoo-user] ogg-vorbis tools and cups
Hello everybody, I notice emerge ogg-vorbis insists on taking cups along with it. emerge info reveals cups flag _is_ being used. But why use it then? What does printing have to do with playing ogg files. Why not go through the flags and install everything they point to? That would make as much sense as installing printer drivers when audio tools were called for. I've run emerge lots of times on the present OS and cups was never requested until now. Oh, and another thing: I don't have cups in my make.conf. Doesn't make.conf override the defaults? -mw -mw __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

I have lots of different types of video files - from short funny ads, to 1/2 hr tv episodes, to full movies, in all sorts of formats - wmv, avi, mpeg, etc. I want to find a program (hopefully only 1!) that will help convert them to a format playable by the device. I'm happy if thats a command line only program. I will probably copy them 1 by 1 as I want to watch them. Space it not too much of an issue (I'll eventually have about 60Gb on the device) - I'd rather not lessen the quality any more than it is already. So, here are my questions: 1. whats the best format to use out of the ones listed, given a) Good quality (not much less than, or the same as original) b) Size reasonable - large files ok, but compression is always a bonus) 2. what program will convert 'anything' to said format.

Is this a feature of AVI, or probably of the device? (Apparently mplayer can do it because it creates some sort of sudo-index?) seeking is not what a video camera is made for. The type of compression you're dealing with: [1] $ file *AVI CIMG1957.AVI: RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 320 x 240, ~15 fps, video: Motion JPEG Is motion jpeg [snip] I was referring to seeking on the media player, not the digital camera. I haven't got a process yet for converting other files to the media player, so I don't know if the media player can't seek, or if MJPEG isn't suited to seeking, or both. thanks, -- Iain Buchanan iaindb at netspace dot net dot au No group of professionals meets except to conspire against the public at large. -- Mark Twain -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] emerge starts slowly
I have a system with a 1.33Ghz Athlon-XP with a decently fast IDE hard drive I have a system with a 1.80Ghz AMD64 with a decently fast IDE hard drive When I run emerge -s whatever or emerge sync or any emerge command apparently, it usually takes about 1 second to start the command on the AMD64 system whereas on the Athlon-XP system it usually takes about 10-30 seconds fore the command to start. What I mean by that is for example 1. # emerge -s tcpdump (press enter) 2. Searching... spinner 3. output of search the time it takes to get to #2 is 1 or less seconds on the AMD64 and 10-30 seconds on the Athlon-XP. As I said, this seems to be the case for any emerge command on the Athlon-XP system. I seem to recall it not being so slow in the past. Both are on 2.6 kernels and both have pleanty of RAM. Gentoo was was installed on the Athlon-XP about 2 or 3 years ago but it is up to date. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: [gentoo-user] udev and fstab

How do you know that mounting is handled by hal on his machine? He didn't say so. He could also use the kernel automounter to create /media/whatever. Bye...
