[gentoo-user] Networkmanager on uclibc Gentoo system x86
Hello. I installed the uclibc stage3 tarball no a x86 machine (I chose uclibc because the PC has only 256 MB of RAM). I'm currently trying to install NetworkManager, but I ran into a problem, which is: NetworkManager needs 'policykit' USE flag to be applyed to consolekit package. This pulls-in policykit package as a dependency of consolekit, which in turn doesn't compile because it calls some funcions that uclibc doesn't implement. Can't I install networkmanager in uclibc systems, then? Thanks. JJ

[gentoo-user] stable/testing system requiring an *UNstable* dev-lang/perl
For some reason my mostly-stable-slightly-testing system
is trying to merge *UNstable* dev-lang/perl.
I do not have a package.unmask file
Specifically it wants me to unmask
=dev-lang/perl-5.20.0-r1
An eix on the same system (with no sync in between) does not even show
such a version as existing. I realize I must be misreading some
output, but I can't find my error.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
The eix command and output is short

It would appear that CPAN-Meta is the culprit, see what is pulling that in.

Right; that is what I thought I said. Oh now I see I wrote *UNstable*.
I thought that was a synonym for masked. Will purge that term from my

That was listed in the voluminous emerge output. Here is the relevant

bunch of perl.

Right. Sorry for the masked / *UNstable* confusion.
I was surprised eix doesn't even show this version, but that is minor.

I rather suspect you are falling foul of portage's recent weird and
wonderful behaviour trying to satisfy deps[1]. Faling that, you might
just have gotten a bad sync while someone was adding perl-5.20 to the tree
Plus your eix does not match emerge, meaning you have recently sync'ed
and not run eix-update after.
Sync again and re-run emerge -avuND world, see if the latest tree has
your issue fixed.
If not, run it with --backtrack=0 and again with --backtrack=100, let's
see if helping portage out makes a difference.
Finally, my favourite trick to find settings I forgot about:
egrep -ir "perl|cpan" /etc/portage
[1] yes, it is getting better as we move forward. But the console output
is still odd at times, it's still slow as molasses, and it really looks
like sometimes it's way to smart for it's own good.

[gentoo-user] media-gfx/blender-2.71 dependencies
Hello again kind friends, I'm not sure how to resolve the requirements for merging media-gfx/blender-2.71 emerge -pvf media-gfx/blender http://bpaste.net/show/447617/ The reqired ebuilds seem to be in portage, but emerge says the're not available. Any insight would be grearly apreciated. Kind regards cinder

I don't believe you pasted everything you meant to. That paste doesn't show what packages would need to be emerged. -- Dan Oriani redchops.com (Website forever under construction) On Wed, 9 Jul 2014, List Reader wrote: > Hello again kind friends, I'm not sure how to resolve the requirements > for merging media-gfx/blender-2.71 > > emerge -pvf media-gfx/blender > http://bpaste.net/show/447617/ > > The reqired ebuilds seem to be in portage, but emerge says the're not > available.

It still works, please don't turn this into another "You have to switch to systemd" thread. -- Joost

To use it, add yourself to the wheel group (or any relevant group of your choice) and prepend the following lines in your /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel update_config=1 After logging in and out you should be able to easily add and connect to any network via wpa_gui. What you do not get to change via that interface is how the IP address is resolved, but that should not be an issue if you are OK with using DHCP.
