Re: [gentoo-user] Only two people in the gentoo world is having this problem?
Anyway, if it were me I'd nuke the file in a heartbeat, but if OP is too timid for that, he can also quarantine the file first, i.e., move it to some other path where it won't cause trouble (and then delete later). Also, (from the bug) his libarchive.la seems to still list the .la, so he should re-emerge libarchive after moving away the orphaned .la-file (or use lafilefixer?). Ok, the OP will try this. If I cannot fix it I will just install gvfs without the archive flag. Still, there is something funny with paludis, as so many people using it seem to have so many problems with orphaned libtool archive files. Ahem, even the warning from exherbo front page is gone nowadays. Is it production quality now? o.O Actually, it is the first problem I have with .la files using paludis, but I don't know about other people's experience. Thanks a lot for your help, Damian.

Dolphin will browse through directories but as soon as I click to open a text file, it gives a error. I have discussed this on the kde list and it is a known problem. One even said the code was written to prevent that but others say it is just not fixed yet. So, I still use Konqueror just like I did in KDE 3. This is also working here, a click opens the file in kwrite. So, I went back to Konqueror to edit config files and such. I don't use some of the programs that you are using so I don't have the same issues. I use smplayer to do movies or CDs. It doesn't care what DE you use. Ah, smplayer. Did not think about that. It was not important anyway - I had ripped a CD with K3b, and wondered why two tracks were swapped. BTW, what do you use for ripping? K3b is okay, but it does not remember changes like output path or file naming, I have to set this again for every CD. But smplayer does not recognise the CD either. I wonder why I do not have a /dev/cdrom device - only /dev/cdrom3, /dev/cdrw3, /dev/dvd3 and /dev/dvdrw3, all symlinking to /dev/sr0. I have used tkdvd to burn a DVD. It ain't pretty but it worked. ;-) Oh, K3b is fine for burning, never had a problem with that. It's the ripping that could be better, and the audio playing that does not work at all. Wonko

Re: [gentoo-user] vmware-server performance
If the elevated iowait from iostat is on the host you might be able to find something hogging you io bandwidth with iotop. Also look for D state procs with ps auxr. Are you on a software raid?

Other than that the only thing I can think of is something like a performance regression in the ide/scsi/sata controller (on host or virtual) or mdadm on host.

I'm updating a remote machine and don't want to lose connectivity. Probably what the writer of that message meant is to update the config files with dispatch-conf and the like. I don't know to what else merge could refer. Thanks. OK, so I did a restart and I can still ssh in so things seem OK. With a remote machine, I always restart SSH, leave the current shell open and open a new one from another terminal. The old session will continue to work when you shut down sshd, so if the new install is somehow broken, you still have the access you need to fix it. Thanks Neil. That's exactly what I did, additionally logging in as a different user that wasn't present before the restart. Cheers, Mark

Well, as this box is ~amd64 I shouldn't need any of those. But kompozer isn't in portage as far as I can see, so how did you get it installed? I got an ebuild somewhere, probably bugzilla. If you want a copy, I've put it on http://www.neiljw.net/kompozer-0.8_beta1.ebuild. I tried this just now. I saved your ebuild as /usr/local/portage/app- editors/kompozer/kompozer-0.8_beta1.ebuild, then ran ebuild [...] manifest on it, then tried to emerge it. I got this configuration error: configure: error: --enable-application=APP is required which I've seen before when trying to compile this program. I didn't manage to solve it then, and i haven't this time either. Any clues? Thanks for the help so far. -- Rgds Peter.

Exporting to a .eps file just plain doesn't work (it writes 'sk1' format data to the file). The user interface is full of breakage: if you export a drawing and then do a 'save', it overwrites the _exported_ file rather than saving in the original drawing file. It also spews a constant stream of errors and tracebacks when doing anything at all. Now this is interesting, inkscape apparently depends on skencil for postscript support?

[gentoo-user] openssh-5.4 upgrade warning for publickey users
Just a quick note for publickey-only sshd users that if you upgrade to openssh 5.4 the AuthorizedKeysFile entry in sshd_config may need to be updated or else you won't be able to login to your system. If you have: AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys (which is the default example in the config file) change it to this: AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys and then restart sshd. Thanks to Doktor Notor who posted the solution on bugzilla. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=308939
Re: [gentoo-user] Only two people in the gentoo world is having this problem?
On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 01:57:44PM +, Neil Bothwick wrote It probably means you have run fix_libtool_files.sh, or possibly lafilefixer, between installing and removing the package responsible for that file. Emerge won't remove files it installed if they have been subsequently modified. Do they warn about it? There are other circumstances where files are deliberately not removed. I just updated my netbook after 6 weeks, and the media-libs/jpeg-8 ebuild put this in my /var/log/portage/elog (note; configuration in /etc/make.conf required) WARN: postinst Old versions of installed libraries were detected on your system. In order to avoid breaking packages that depend on these old libs, the libraries are not being removed. You need to run revdep-rebuild in order to remove these old dependencies. If you do not have this helper program, simply emerge the 'gentoolkit' package. # revdep-rebuild --library libjpeg.so.7 Once you've finished running revdep-rebuild, it should be safe to delete the old libraries. Here is a copy paste for the lazy: # rm '/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.7' -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org
