Re: [gentoo-user] rhythmbox is looking for an older shared object
After a few more minutes of looking at the bug list, it appears that it's caused by the stable build being rusty. Given the references to lib64 in your output, I assume you're running on amd64. Is that correct? If so, a quick-n-dirty workaround might be to add the following line to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file... =media-sound/rhythmbox-0.11.2-r1 ~amd64 If /etc/portage/package.keywords doesn't exist, create it. This may be beta-level, but it has a chance of working. The other option is =media-sound/rhythmbox-0.11.6-r1 ~amd64 ...same comments apply. Once a newer ebuild is marked stable, you can get rid of that keywords entry. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org

[gentoo-user] kde 4.2.1 sill pulling in 3.5 packages
Hello, Confidence is high that I've mucked_up this upgrade to kde-4.2.1. I was content to leave the system at 3.5.9 and while I was messing around, I guess I triggered a kde 4.2.1 install (I had started the upgrade and decide to wait some weeks ago.) Long story short, I'm now running kde-4.2.1 [OK] I moved my world file to a backup so as to avoid all of those dependency issues. It worked pretty well. However, now I'm adding the packages back a few at a time and lots of stuff calls for kdelibs-3.5.9-r1. Where I'm confused is can I have 2 versions of kdelibs installed at the same time? My gut tells me NO? What am I missing. Kde-4.2.1 is up and running. Although I have not extensively tested it, I can run konqueror and seamonkey and many other apps. just fine. So what I think I need to do (again) is Mask kdelibs 3.5.x completely? (syntax suggestions here for package.mask are welcome) emerge -C kde-3.5.9* (can I do this?) emerge --depclean -a and then watch closely what I emerge? ??? obviously confused, James

My gut tells me NO? Yes, you can. In fact, this is the whole point of SLOTs. The versions are kept separate by putting them in different directories. KDE-3.5 stuff always goes in /usr/kde/3.5 whereas KDE-4 can go in one of two places depending on the setting of the kdeprefix USE flag: with USE=kdeprefix /usr/kde/4.x with USE=-kdeprefix /usr/ The apps don't get confused becuase when they are built and linked, the relevant tools are instructed where the correct libs are. So, KDE-4 apps do not get told to link against KDE-3.5 libraries. If they do, then it is a bug. What am I missing. Kde-4.2.1 is up and running. Although I have not extensively tested it, I can run konqueror and seamonkey and many other apps. just fine. As it is supposed to. So what I think I need to do (again) is Mask kdelibs 3.5.x completely? Not really necessary (syntax suggestions here for package.mask are welcome) emerge -C kde-3.5.9* (can I do this?) emerge --depclean -a and then watch closely what I emerge? Honestly, the best way is to just not install stuff that needs kde-3.5 packages. I use KDE-4, but I still have kdelibs-3.5 installed - I have a few 3.5 apps that are not yet ported to 4 (like luma). Getting to this point can happen in several ways, depending on how you installed kde-3.5 originally. 1. If you ran 'emerge kde' and have monolithic versions, get rid of them with emerge -C (or just delete them out of your world file). 2. If you emerge the kde -meta ebuilds, then unmerge them (or delete them from world) 3. If you installed a bunch of kde apps individually, then find them in world and delete them. Now run 'emerge -av --depclean' and closely inspect what portage wants to nuke. With luck, it'll be a whole horde of 3.5 stuff, so let it rip when you are happy with it. Then run 'emerge -pvuND world' and see if portage wants to re-install anything from kde-3.5 (this is indeed highly likely...). Now use your various portage tools (q, equery, etc) to find out why portage wants to add 3.5 apps back in, and deal with that issue. One at a time. Rinse, repeat in a recursive process till 3.5 is gone. You don't really need to mask anything, unless you are a thick idiot who never checks emerge output before giving the go-ahead. Previous posts from you suggest that thick idiot is not an accurate description :-) Avoiding having kde-3.5 stuff installed is exactly the same as avoiding having firefox installed - don't emerge it. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Re: [gentoo-user] Who mount sysfs?

It has not mounted sysfs while boot process. I have to do mount sysfs by my hand now. Of course, udev rc scripts has line of need sysfs. And udev rc script was added in sysinit service. So I would like to know who mounts sysfs when Gentoo in boot process in general. Your friends at udev. The need sysfs means that udev needs the sysfs service to start. Of course it's wrapped around a if [ -f /etc/init.d/sysfs ]; then... so is that file missing? No, that isn't. That file exists. So I tested like below. /etc/init.d/udev stop /etc/init.d/sysfs stop /etc/init.d/udev start /etc/init.d/sysfs status Result is * status: stopped Actually, sysfs rc strip has no stop function. So sysfs is not unmounted. But in my opinion, status of sysfs must be started after udev started. ... I fix this problem while I write this mail. I renamed sysfs rc strip filename and restarted udev to check whether it fails or not. And I confirmed it failed. Then restored sysfs rc strip filename and started udev. Surprisingly sysfs started automatically before start udev. It fixed. Still I don't know why it happened. It's very confuse Anyway, thank you for your help:) Your comments are helping me to do some more things:) I think /etc/init.d/sysfs just sets up the mounts and then exits, so there is no need for a stop since it is never in a running state (well, maybe for a split second). there is no sysfs daemon and running status of /etc/init.d/sysfs does not indicate whether or not sysfs is mounted. I think you should check /proc/mounts for that. But I could be wrong. :)
