Well, first I tried to install xorg simply by the emerge xorg-x11 command. 
It installed the newest 7.x version, but it doesn't want to work. Then I 
unmerged it and installed the 6.8.2-r8. It works now with the vesa driver, 
but not with fgrlx.
So, now I don't have xorg-server package installed (because it is part of the 
7.x version), only xorg-x11:
# emerge -pv =xorg-x11-6.8.2-r8

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

 Are you loading the dri module in /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
Yes, it is loaded, or at least it is specified in the xorg.conf file.
 
 It might help to gzip and attach your full /var/log/Xorg.0.log file.

Okay, I attach it. I would have done it already, but I didn't kow that it is

[gentoo-user] Compiling kopete without Video4Linux webcam support?

2006-07-26 Thread Alexander Skwar
Hello!

I'm trying to compile kopete, but this failed:

 * To support Video4Linux webcams in this package is required to have
 * =x11-libs/qt-3* compiled with OpenGL support.
 * Please reemerge =x11-libs/qt-3* with USE=opengl.

!!! ERROR: kde-base/kopete-3.5.3-r2 failed.

Qt3 is installed with the following USE flags:

[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/qt-3.3.6-r1  USE=cups -debug -doc -examples -firebird 
gif -immqt -immqt-bc -ipv6 -mysql -nas nis -odbc -opengl -postgres -sqlite 
-xinerama 0 kB

I'll never attach a V4L webcam to the system and I'll never be able
to use OpenGL, as I'll always connect to the system using OpenGL.
Thus, I don't need V4L support.

How do I compile kopete without V4L support?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

this is not bug, this is a rule.


Are these packages stable for x86?

Gmail.  In fact, the problem you describe, I have only ever heard
about happening to gmail users, because gmail doesn't show your own
postings to mail lists until there is a reply.  It basically
recognizes the incoming message as something it already has, so it
isn't 'new'.

However, I have a filter setup to apply a label to all gentoo-user

[gentoo-user] Recompiling pakages after rebuild of Qt?

2006-07-26 Thread Alexander Skwar
Hi!

I just now recompiled qt-3* with OpenGL support and after the emerge,
the following message is shown:

 * After a rebuild of Qt, it can happen that Qt plugins (such as Qt/KDE styles,
 * or widgets for the Qt designer) are no longer recognized.  If this situation
 * occurs you should recompile the packages providing these plugins,
 * and you should also make sure that Qt and its plugins were compiled with the
 * same version of gcc.  Packages that may need to be rebuilt are, for instance,
 * kde-base/kdelibs, kde-base/kdeartwork and kde-base/kdeartwork-styles.
 * See http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/plugins-howto.html for more infos.

I'd now like to recompile the necessary packages. How do I find
out, which packages I need to recompile, besides the 3 packages,
which are mentioned in the message?

I have the exact same problem, and have tried on this already for so

the process of removing stuff from and trying out, but its quite frankly
pain in the butt, since all obvious option like in-build fs-driver,
IDE/ATA support etc... but it does not work. Anyway, it would be great
if someone could post her/his config for 2.6.17 to take as template. I
can also later on post the two different configs or their diff so
someone can have a look on what is different.

If you have net-dns/bind-tools installed
what's the output of dig -x 192.168.0.2 ?

Are you using FQDN in mysql tables?

You should use GRANT statements instead of hacking

 text file with multiple lines  1000characters long and word-wrap it to an
 arbitrary figure?  I'm looking for something like this:

   $ cat myTextFile | wrap 70

 You don't say which card you are using, some are more problematic than
 others, the gentoo-sources Changleog shows that support for some versions
 is still being added. lspci | grep BCM will show you the exact model.

I will load more firmware and try again.  Here is the message I get

dig -x 192.168.0.2 on mysql box should give you something like:

I seriously doubt that this would help you very much, because my

Benno Schulenberg wrote:
 Meanwhile I've figured out 
 how to create actions such as Mute and Volume Up and assign 
 them shortcuts.

I didn't have to do anything to get those working, except make sure kmix
is loaded on login. It seems that it automatically interpreted the
volume controls correctly. And if I remember correctly, even if kmix
was't loaded, it was loaded by the first volume keypress.

Strangely enough, the volume keys have continued working after the
upgrade to xorg-x11 7.0.

 keycode 178 (keysym 0x1008ff18, XF86HomePage),
 keycode 160 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute),
 keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume),
 keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume),

The following work with kmix:

keycode 160 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute)
keycode 174 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume)
keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume)

The following don't work as shortcuts:

keycode 162 (keysym 0x1008ff14, XF86AudioPlay)
keycode 164 (keysym 0x1008ff15, XF86AudioStop)
keycode 144 (keysym 0x1008ff16, XF86AudioPrev)
keycode 153 (keysym 0x1008ff17, XF86AudioNext)

 But maybe KDE is looking in the old place /usr/lib/X11 for keyboard 
 files, which for Xorg 7.0 moved to /usr/share/X11.  It might be 
 trying to read /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB but not find it.  You could 
 try a symlink: ln -s ../../share/X11/XKeysymDB /usr/lib/X11/
 Or maybe link to ../share/X11 the entire /usr/lib/X11

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try tonight.

 Gmail.  In fact, the problem you describe, I have only ever heard

 postings to mail lists until there is a reply.  It basically
 recognizes the incoming message as something it already has, so it
 isn't 'new'.

 However, I have a filter setup to apply a label to all gentoo-user

Messages you send to the list also appear under the Sent Mail 
folder/directory.  As Richard says once there is a reply they also appear in 
the Inbox and in all cases they appear under the filters.  What Gmail is not 
particularly clever is creating threads (conversations in Gmail speak).  It 
interprets the headers differently to a newsreader so messages will appear 
under different conversations when in a conventional newsreader they would 
not.

I was in the same boat as you.  When I first install gentoo, I chose the stage1 
tarball methods
just becuase I wanted to be forced to learn ever step.  It took me about a week 
of re=reading the
docs and re-configuring the install until I learned how to get everything to 
work the way I
wanted.

If you really want to learn how to configure new kernels, the menuconfig has 
imbedded help docs
for each parameter.  If you are curious about any options just read up on them. 
 I've learned alot
this way, and each time a new kernel sources is released it gives you another 
opertunity to
increase your experience and knowledge with you configure these new kernels.

It seems that you are trying to use the wrong module. This is a 4400

[gentoo-user] How to emerge bugzilla w/ postgresql

2006-07-26 Thread Richard Broersma Jr
I am creating a new gentoo server, and I am in the handbook section to specify 
USE variables.
No matter how I errange my USE variable in the make.conf,

emerge --update --pretend bugzilla  -- wants to use mysql

[ebuild  N] dev-db/mysql-4.1.20
[ebuild  N] dev-perl/DBD-mysql-2.9007

...

USE=server symlink bugzilla sshd postgresql -mysql -mysqli postfix -X -xorg 
-berkdb -kde -gnome
-metacity

Is there a way to override this selection and have postgresql and DBD-pg 
installed instead?

Any ideas?

Change postgresql to postgres in your USE flags. Mysql is probably a

[gentoo-user] Re: OT: get process name in c++

2006-07-26 Thread Iain Buchanan
Hi,

I posted this email a short while ago, and got some great tips for
accessing /proc/self/status to read the process name.  However, guess
what I just found (after I've finished and tested my /proc/
implementation?)

man 3 program_invocation_short_name:

NAME
   program_invocation_name,  program_invocation_short_name  -  obtain name
   used to invoke calling program
...

DESCRIPTION
   program_invocation_name contains the name that was used to  invoke  the
   calling  program.   This is the same as the value of argv[0] in main(),
   with the  difference  that  the  scope  of  program_invocation_name  is
   global.

cool!  Oh well, reading /proc/ was an experience :)

 I have been googling for this one for a little while, and trying various

 I don't want to use argv[0], because the particular place is deep within
 classes, and there are too many (I'm doing some porting) to edit all of
 their constructors, for example, to pass argv[0].
 
 something like
 
 char *name = getpsname (pid);
 
 But does that exist?  Maybe there's an interface to /proc that I'm
 unaware of?
 
 I'd appreciate any tips!

avidemux has improved immensely in recent versions.

I didn't realise until this thread that kino now supports ffmpeg
compatible streams. I must try that. 

kino will do fancier transitions etc - avidemux is more for cutting the
odd bit out and transcoding the result.

if you are happy to may money then main actor does a reasonable job of
editing/transitioning and transcoding.

It is a bug in the ebuild dependencies.  It has a hard dependency on

It appears to be fixed in the later unstable ebuilds.

 is there a #define I can use from one of the system headers? 
 
 it is defined in kernel/pid.c
 int pid_max = PID_MAX_DEFAULT;

and PID_MAX_DEFAULT, if you want to #include something, ends up in
linux/threads.h

thanks!

RF Can you give an example or two?

I've raised the question on -dev in a hopefully constructive manner.
Let's see what happens there.

You can also use the sysctl() function to get the value at run-time,
just in case it has been changed.  But that will only work on linux.

Hi,

I posted this email a short while ago, and got some great tips for
accessing /proc/self/status to read the process name.  However, guess
what I just found (after I've finished and tested my /proc/
implementation?)

man 3 program_invocation_short_name:


/me hides head in sand.

I guess the glibc folks are smarter than both of us! :-)

[gentoo-user] Lots of missing gentoo-user mail

2006-07-26 Thread Ralph Slooten
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hiya,

For the last 2 years I have been archiving structurally all my
gentoo-user mails I have received into MySQL. In the last few months I
have noticed that I have been receiving more and more broken threads
(In-Reply-To and References), indicating missing mails from those threads.

At present I use gmail to receive the mail which is then downloaded via
fetchmail to my imap server. Recently I added the
gmane.linux.gentoo.user newsgroup to my thunderbird to make some
comparisons between that I am receiving and what they are receiving. To
my surprise I am missing between 1 and 4 messages per thread (of more
than let's say 10 messages).

It is not a threading problem, and not a pop3 problem ~ I can confirm
that what I have in gmail is what I have locally.

To give some examples of totals in some larger threads over the last
couple of days:

Subject Local   gmane
Kde menu  11  12
MythTV vs. Gentoo VDR 9   10
PORTAGE_ELOG error24  28
strange [ file27  31
can't install ati-drivers 13  16
How packages becomes stable?  8   9
Unable to mount root fs on uknown - block (0,0)   14  17

I have confirmed that that I have locally is exactly what I have in
gmail, so the problem is not local, and they are not caught anywhere in
gmail's spam filters.

What I am trying to work out if if it's just me having an issue with
gmail (which I will confront the gmail team there about), or if the
gentoo-user mailing server is skipping addresses or having issues
sending. Tracing mail logs over a few days to check threads can be a
painfully annoying job ;-)

I am subscribed to other lists too which I seem to be having absolutely
no problems with, although they are somewhat less active than the
gentoo-user one.

Are any of you (gmail or not) having the same problem? What is the
correct way to go about locating and confronting this issue?

Thanks for any advise.
Ralph
