[gentoo-user] Virtualbox USB w/o usbfs
Hi, I have a problem with accessing usb devices from virtualbox after some kernel/system update. Previously it was ok after I've added the following line to the fstab usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1017,devmode=664 0 0 but now, there is no /proc/bus/usb how can I enable USB access for a regular user in this new situation? Should I modify some kernel parameters? should I enable CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS or there is some alternative solution? Thanks Laszlo

To be more precise, they are using 'variable-pitch' face so you have to set font for that face. You can do that with 'M-x customize-face RET variable-pitch RET'. This displays a buffer where you can set the font. Note that 'customize-face' command offers you the face that is used to display a character on which the cursor is. So if you place the cursor on one of the empty boxes then 'M-x customize-face RET' should automatically offer you the 'variable-pitch' face.

[gentoo-user] xorg-server 1.7.6 without mouse and keyboard
Hi people! After upgrading my system, xorg-server 1.7.6 is on my system. I regenrated the config file Xorg -configure. The display is shown proparly with everything around it but I don't have a mice and keyboard. How do I get the mouse and keyboard to run. I followed the steps from the official gentoo xorg guide, and nothing changed. Any ideas?! for any I help I would kindly thank you. Tamer Higazi
[gentoo-user] Display gone
Just reinstalled Gentoo. Boot thru kdm. Works fine, but a lot of X kde apps can't find the display and return No protocol specified No protocol specified xprop: unable to open display ':0' Did I forget to configure something ? -- ~adj~

[gentoo-user] how can I make emerge --sync less verbose?
Hi, subject says it all: I'm using gentoo over rather slow line, and while syncing portage tree, lines keep scrolling so fast it saturates my connection. How can I make emerge --sync somehow less verbose? I know, I can use --quiet, but then I do not see anyting. Maybe something like status-bar, or counter (0-100%) would be nice...

Well, the -f option tells it to only fetch the file. Also, if the
package is already installed and up to date, you would need to remove
the -u as well, since there is no update.
If this package is not something you want in the world file, you may
want to use the -1 option, after removing the other options of course.

Using your logic emerge -fDuN @world (meaning 'fetch everything I need

In the past, if something has a digest failure, there is a error. Maybe
that has changed but that is what I have got in the past. I see this a
lot with googleearth for example.
Maybe I am misreading something regarding the error but it seems it is
doing what you tell it to do to me. The -N option is for USE flags not
new packages. From the man page:
--newuse (-N)
Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE
flags have changed since compilation. This
option also implies the --selective option. USE flag
changes include:
A USE flag was added to a package. A USE flag was
removed from a package. A USE flag was turned
on for a package. A USE flag was turned off for a package.
USE flags may be toggled by your profile as well as your
USE and package.use settings.
The -f option will only fetch so the reason it is not compiling it again
is because you are not telling it to compile but only to fetch.
Maybe someone else will come along and read this differently and see
something I am missing.

In my experience, the small PS/2 to USB mouse adapters like that do not contain a controller chip and only work on USB-compatible PS/2 mice. Those mice typically came with a USB adapter in the first place, so if yours didn't it could be that you're fighting a losing battle. I believe that mice supplied with these adaptors have internal circuitry that will detect and distinguish between whether they're connected to a PS2 port or a USB one, and behave appropriately.

However, it's not 'new'. It's already installed.

In the past, if something has a digest failure, there is a error. Maybe
that has changed but that is what I have got in the past. I see this a lot
with googleearth for example.
Maybe I am misreading something regarding the error but it seems it is doing
what you tell it to do to me. The -N option is for USE flags not new
packages. From the man page:
--newuse (-N)
Tells emerge to include installed packages where USE flags have
changed since compilation. This
option also implies the --selective option. USE flag changes
include:
A USE flag was added to a package. A USE flag was removed
from a package. A USE flag was turned
on for a package. A USE flag was turned off for a package.
USE flags may be toggled by your profile as well as your USE
and package.use settings.
The -f option will only fetch so the reason it is not compiling it again is
because you are not telling it to compile but only to fetch.
Maybe someone else will come along and read this differently and see
something I am missing.

Right. I misspoke. New use flags, not new a package.
However the outcome is consistent. It says it's 'fetching' because
it's responding to the idea that there's a new use flag, but then
fetches nothing because the file is already here and

Kernel updates don't affect them, only xorg-server updates do. =app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.26 Only this is affected by kernel updates. No disagreement on that, but frankly it doesn't matter to me. It works. Takes about 1 minute to rebuild these files. I don't care (as a user type) why I have to do it. I do it and my machine works. It covers kernel and xorg updates. That's OK with me. Or maybe you're just pointing this out to the OP? I suspect I might have failed with the same problem as the OP myself this morning had I used not it. There was an xorg-driver update that didn't update all the input devices in my make.conf file. (evdev specifically) This command did. Maybe I didn't need to rebuild evdev after an sorg-driver update but I suspect you'd agree it's safer if I do. Sometimes the tools take care of things that are just oversights. Matters not that I shouldn't have to do it. Matters more that the machine works. Cheers, Mark

Re: [gentoo-user] viewing .m4v files with totem
On 9 Jul 2010, at 02:50, Allan Gottlieb wrote: How should I view .m4v files with totem. Is there a gst-plugin or a use flag for gst-plugins-meta? I have used the following, which works, but the video quality is bad ffmpeg -i file.m4v file.avi totem file.avi Hi there, I was been reluctant to reply earlier, because I'm not a real expert on the subject, but .m4v is a *container format*, as is .mp4 and .avi. .avi is actually a poorer one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.m4v I believe any of these containers can contain a variety of video / audio *codecs*. There are still loads of files floating around which use old Windows-centric codecs, but h264 is becoming the most common video codec. A container might contain the audio as MP3, AAC or something else. So it's not clear from just saying convert from one file format to another whether you converted the audio /or video from one codec to another (known as transcoding) or whether you just took the existing audio /or video and simply put it in a different container (known as remuxing, I believe). A few minutes of video in an undemanding codec might be transcoded to shitty quality in a matter of minutes, nearly as quickly as remuxing a large video. The latter would depending on the speed of your disk / filesystem, but remuxing is a little slower than copying the whole multi-gigabyte file - that takes a couple of minutes around here. To transcode a full DVD to highest quality h264 might take 18 or 24 hours (on a Pentium 4). As far as containers as concerned, .mp4 is a pretty good one. I _think_ that .m4v is very similar, but I can't swear to it. .avi is rubbish, but it's the default interim container for some converters - I think that mplayer / mencoder, for instance can produce technically invalid .avi files that won't play on some systems, but it does that because it assumes you know what you're doing and will remux them to .mp4 afterwards (using mp4box, for instance). .mkv is a container that is becoming very popular because it supports modern codes like h264/AAC but allows you to store multiple tracks within the container - Dolby stereo audio, 5.1 audio and a director's commentary, for instance, each of which may be in whatever codec you like. There is a shortcoming of of .mkv which applies to older systems with slower disks, but probably shouldn't apply here; if you can, use .mkv. I believe you should try using this command on the file: mplayer -vo null -ao null -identify -endpos 1 myfile.m4v This should tell you more about the codecs in which the content are encoded. Feel free to post the output here. You didn't show us what the output (or verbose output) of your ffmpeg command was, so we don't know if the original .m4v had shitty quality, or if you transcoded it. It's also worth checking the USE flags for all your video-playing applications - I enable at least the aac, h264 and mp3 USE flags on any new system, but I think Gentoo ships with them disabled by default because of licensing / patent / Freedom issues in some major jurisdictions. HTH, Stroller.

I'm not sure why is that but it seems that your emacs is not able to find variable pitch font - About emacs screen and tooltips are using such font; normal edit buffers uses a fixed width font. To be more precise, they are using 'variable-pitch' face so you have to set font for that face. You can do that with 'M-x customize-face RET variable-pitch RET'. This displays a buffer where you can set the font. That's the trick: changing the family from Sans Serif to DejaVu Sans, save the settings, restart emacs, and now the about text is rendered. That particular font is rather ugly and blurry, but at least it's rendering. Note that 'customize-face' command offers you the face that is used to display a character on which the cursor is. So if you place the cursor on one of the empty boxes then 'M-x customize-face RET' should automatically offer you the 'variable-pitch' face. Yup. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

[gentoo-user] Device not accepting address, error -110 and others
Hi list, since I updated to some of new linux kernels versions, I started to experimenting many problems with my usb devices / hub, which makes my computer works in a very strange manner. Researching on this direction on the web, I noticed that many people have the same/similar problem as mine, where always linux kernel kprints the following message to the dmesg output using this template: usb X-X: device not accepting address XX, error -XXX. Are kernel developers, mainly the usb team, aware of this problem? What should I have to do to find a solution for my case? This is happening with my laptop.

Re: [gentoo-user] viewing .m4v files with totem
Stroller strol...@stellar.eclipse.co.uk writes: On 9 Jul 2010, at 02:50, Allan Gottlieb wrote: How should I view .m4v files with totem. Is there a gst-plugin or a use flag for gst-plugins-meta? I have used the following, which works, but the video quality is bad ffmpeg -i file.m4v file.avi totem file.avi Hi there, First and foremost, thank you. A lucid and informative explanation. I was been reluctant to reply earlier, because I'm not a real expert on the subject, but .m4v is a *container format*, as is .mp4 and .avi. .avi is actually a poorer one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.m4v I believe any of these containers can contain a variety of video / audio *codecs*. There are still loads of files floating around which use old Windows-centric codecs, but h264 is becoming the most common video codec. A container might contain the audio as MP3, AAC or something else. So it's not clear from just saying convert from one file format to another whether you converted the audio /or video from one codec to another (known as transcoding) or whether you just took the existing audio /or video and simply put it in a different container (known as remuxing, I believe). A few minutes of video in an undemanding codec might be transcoded to shitty quality in a matter of minutes, nearly as quickly as remuxing a large video. The latter would depending on the speed of your disk / filesystem, but remuxing is a little slower than copying the whole multi-gigabyte file - that takes a couple of minutes around here. To transcode a full DVD to highest quality h264 might take 18 or 24 hours (on a Pentium 4). As far as containers as concerned, .mp4 is a pretty good one. I _think_ that .m4v is very similar, but I can't swear to it. .avi is rubbish, but it's the default interim container for some converters - I think that mplayer / mencoder, for instance can produce technically invalid .avi files that won't play on some systems, but it does that because it assumes you know what you're doing and will remux them to .mp4 afterwards (using mp4box, for instance). .mkv is a container that is becoming very popular because it supports modern codes like h264/AAC but allows you to store multiple tracks within the container - Dolby stereo audio, 5.1 audio and a director's commentary, for instance, each of which may be in whatever codec you like. There is a shortcoming of of .mkv which applies to older systems with slower disks, but probably shouldn't apply here; if you can, use .mkv. I believe you should try using this command on the file: mplayer -vo null -ao null -identify -endpos 1 myfile.m4v This should tell you more about the codecs in which the content are encoded.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Any centralized documentation on qemu-kvm?
Before anybody asks...
1) VirtualBox manages to do a hard locup on my Intel I3
2) qemu depends on softmmu, which requires gcc 3.x
So I installed qemu-kvm (different from qemu). The documentation that
I've found via Google is out-of-date/irrelavant. I know that there is a
kvm command, and typing qemu{TAB}{TAB} gives me...
waltd...@i3 ~ $ qemu
qemuqemu-io qemu-system-x86_64
qemu-i386 qemu-kvmqemu-x86_64
qemu-imgqemu-nbd
Of the 9 commands, only qemu, qemu-img, and qemu-nbd have man pages.
So RTFM becomes a little harderG. Are there any up-to-date central
locations for qemu-kvm documentation?

I think it was Alan that told me that when I ran into a similar issue. After a bit we figured out that it was a really deep dependency that was causing me grief. It does take portage longer to calculate dependencies when you add that tho. That little swirling thing goes at it for a while when I do my updates. Then again, it has a lot to think about: Packages installed: 946 Packages in world:78 Packages in system: 50 Required packages:946 I'd be scratching my head too. Dale :-) :-)
