You could try running some sort of stress tester under Windows, to see if

 Many thanks, I've been wondering why some applications fail in a

 Is there a bug report?

It's an ongoing problem for a long time (years?), there are various

again usually nx-libs gets patched some time later... until then I
mask cairo :)



Hi,

unfortunately I have to use cairo-1.12.6  since 1.12.2-r4 scrambles my
printing of PDF files (it's completely unusable).

There might be a fix for NX at
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-dev/2012-May/003962.html

There is a Debian source package at
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=snapshot;h=5a640efd1002d5fadff72542afb8e00bd14bcb6e;sf=tgz

but I'd need help for using that for NX or I have to switch to X2GO.

 Hi,  just install it, add yourself to the bumblebee group, and do:

 To run a program using the nvidia card, start it with the optirun

In my case, I had to mask =1.12 to use commercial nxserver. When I

try masking all 1.12.x versions of cairo and see if both NX and your

[gentoo-user] Building an ARM uclibc system

2012-11-14 Thread Grant
I'm trying to build a tiny Gentoo uclibc system.  I'm chrooted into this
stage:

http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/experimental/arm/uclibc/

and I'm using:

ROOT=/tiny/ emerge baselayout uclibc bash udev coreutils util-linux shadow
kbd net-tools grep procps gzip sed findutils

It's working a lot better than I expected but I'm hoping you guys can help
me with a couple issues I can't figure out.

1)

I get the following error when I boot the tiny system unless I copy
libgcc_s.so.1 from the stage to /tiny/lib/libgcc_s.so.1:

sh: can't load library 'libgcc_s.so.1'

Is there a better way to fix this?

2)

When I try to start jackd from the tiny system I get:

jackd: symbol 'clock_nanosleep': can't resolve symbol
could not open driver .so '/usr/lib/jack/jack_dummy.so': (null)

The following files in both / and /tiny/ reference clock_nanosleep if I
open them in a text editor:

lib/librt.so.0
usr/lib/librt.a

I do have /usr/lib/jack/jack_dummy.so inside the tiny system.

Maybe this is relevant:

# ldconfig
ldconfig: You should remove `/lib' from `/etc/ld.so.conf'
ldconfig: You should remove `/usr/lib' from `/etc/ld.so.conf'
# cat /etc/ld.so.conf
# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /etc/env.d directory
/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib

I think Gentoo normally prevents problems like these, but they're coming up
since I'm setting this up in an unconventional way.

Hmmm agree with the grub2 thing. Seems overly complicated just to get
an OS running. But maybe there are good reasons for it. I'm no expert
understanding boot loaders though.

UEFI apps sounds interesting. I'll have a look into it. But I dual boot
with Windows so maybe forced to use grub2 or such like.

Does syslinux work with uefi/gpt?

Currently, not with uefi MO, it seems. But it works fine with gpt
partitioning on MBR motherboards. Just follow the Arch Linux WiKi. No
reason to submit to the grub2 silliness :)

Probably not, since it looks like a fairly hands-off spam attempt, but I
have to say, I'm rather amused by the attempt to spoof a Microsoft based
site (in url and content) while spamming a Linux mailing list. It's
first-line bait to pull someone into an 'online employment' scam, by the
looks of it, with the added benefit of ad revenue from those who load that
page with a standard browser.

Well, I did get a reply on another list.  He/she seems to have read it

 Many thanks, James.
 Since app-portage/portage-utils is a portage specific package, it would be
 nice if it would take
 all portage actions (like eselect) into account.



 You might want to open an RFE bug report for app-portage/portage-utils
 suggesting that qfile gain the ability to do the (the logical equivilent
 of) the above itself.


 I've tried that, but the reponsible developer doesn't want to understand
 (even an advanced) user's need.
 Helmut.


I would not want qfile to report on files (including symlinks) which
are not recorded in the /var/db/pkg database. That's simply not what
the tool is designed for.

eselect is not part of portage, and it can create/change literally any
file on your system. There is no central place where these changes are
tracked, so any attempt to make qfile aware of it would be unreliable.
