[gentoo-user] KDE in livedvd
Hello everyone. I was wondering that is there any list of packages to emerge and make my KDE look like the last live dvd. I mean the theme, color, icons, ... ? Thanks.

I've done searches of Bugs, Forum asked Google without much help. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this problem ? As for libpng: the problem is that after libpng update many pkg-config files still contain references to old libpng15.so. Usual way to fix this is to rebuild all libpng dependencies (emerge @revdep-rebuild or revdep-rebuild tool may be used for that). But this doesn't work on too old setups, where during such updates packages will require some newer stuff like libdrm to be updated itself. In order to broke this look you can manually edit all files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig in order to point them to proper libpng version, e.g.: $ cd /usr/lib/pkgconfig $ sed -i 's/libpng15/libpng16/ *.pc As for libudev, probably problem and solution is the same. Not all packages use pkg-config, some have $packagename-config scripts (like fltk-config). Some of these scripts hardcode library names in a similar way to pkg-config, so you have to fix this /usr/bin-*config scripts too if you have any problems with related applications.

Both of these versions build just fine, but upon trying to launch them, the browser's interface comes up just fine, but will only display a Something went wrong... page. I can try typing in and accessing URLs, but all I will ever get is this error page.

So I tried to launch chromium without it (chromium --no-sandbox), and indeed: The browser works absolutely fine this way - I get none of the problems or messages mentioned above. Of course, I tried to find a related entry in both the Gentoo as well as the chromium bug trackers, but I couldn't find anything in either. I'm a bit reluctand to report my own bug as I wouldn't be 100% sure that I'm not causing the problem (after all, I'm building my chromium with USE=custom-cflags, which is not officially supported, but has always produced nicely working builds for me in the past), so I thought I'd ask here first if I'm the only one observing this behavior. The question, thus, would probably be: Anyone using one of the recent chromium-40 versions on ~x86 or anywhere else and seeing something similar? Or probably someone who has experienced something like that before and could offer a guess what might be wrong here - a real bug, custom-cflags, or something entirely different? I gave up on chromium starting from chromium-36, where they dropped pre-SSE2 x86 support (and I use such system: Athlon-XP). I tried to re-add this stuff with partial success (works, but still SIGILLs sometimes) and it's very hard to clean all pieces. Looks like they're slowly abandoning x86 and older hardware at all.

It would be far better to use Spinrite (like I mentioned before) - to allow a really low level access to the drive.

The application where to slow, mplayer stopped working and ... Anyway at last I notices that as soon as I start KDE, the sound stops working, so uninstalled the skype and pulseaudio, and everything went back to normal ! Can all this be pulseaudio's fault?

While Spinrite is running the HDD will not be able to automatically relocate sectors. I've been blown away how effective this piece of software is - even when run with (apparently) very knackered Maxtor drives!! It was like they were brought back from the dead... Hey Bob, I don't see the point in buying software to test this when I'm already certain I will not depend on it for anything. At this point, it will either be a doorstop or a target when I am out practicing with a pistol or rifle. Basically, I have zero plans to use this drive. It will be replaced. I'm just playing with it to see what I can learn and maybe, just maybe, someone else will learn from this as well. I've used spinrite before. I used to work for a fortune 500 computer company. We had pretty much every tool there was including spinrite. Thing is, this is the second time this drive has failed. One failure got me to take it out of normal use. Two failures makes it something to play with and a educational tool and nothing more. Basically, I'll never, never, trust that drive again with anything important. It's toast. I'd rather apply that money to buying a new drive. Keep in mind, I was backing up to it just to put data on it and let it run, just to see what it does. Dale :-) :-)

I would also run a long test overnight to see where and how it fails. I recently had a drive which went sideways on me. Running dd was successful in relocating some problematic sectors. However, repeating the smart tests revealed that more and more sectors were going bad. I recall a warning that a catastrophic drive failure was imminent, when reading the output of 'smartctl -a'. Instead of dd'ing the whole drive, just dd the suspect sector and repeat the smart tests to see how things move around. I concur with other posters that this drive should only be used for experimentation, rather than production or back ups. Hey Mick, I've dd'd the drive many times. That is the reason for the long delay since the original post. I would dd it then retest and repeat. Doing that on a 3TB drive takes a while. ;-) I mostly just wanted to see IF it could fix itself. Even if it did, I'm still not going to trust it. Heck, I didn't trust it after the first fail. Generally, when a drive starts to fail like this, it doesn't go well. Now if I still had a copy of spinrite or knew someone locally that did, I'd run it just to see what it says. One thing I know from the past, if spinrite says it is bad, you can take that to the bank because that opinion is worth gold. Spinrite either fixes the issue or lets you know to replace it. Again, this would be a learning experience. Even if spinrite says it fixed it, I'd use it as a back up and monitor it. It would take a miracle for me to trust that drive again. I'm trying to decide now if I want to save a little more and get a 4TB drive or just get another 3TB drive.

I tried to re-add this stuff with partial success (works, but still SIGILLs sometimes) and it's very hard to clean all pieces. Looks like they're slowly abandoning x86 and older hardware at all. Actually, I can't say that I'm too much of a fan of chromium either. I'm more than happy using vimb, sometimes also midori and firefox. Chromium mostly only sits here as a last resort when some site doesn't seem to work right in one of the other browsers (which, fortunatly, only happens with a frequency that is rapidly approaching never). So the fact that I don't care about chromium too much, with the added fact that my main machine is a lower-range laptop and takes quite a while to build chromium, is also the reason why I can't be bothered right now to re-build in order to try out various things or otherwise try to collect debugging information. That's why I thought I'd ask if I'm the only one seeing this. It's entirely possible that I'll eventually decide to just unmerge chromium completely, as I haven't really had a *real* reason to use it in quite a long time. ;-) Greetings, Nils
