Re: [gentoo-user] Calibre Update Problems
Hello, i have run revdep-build now clean, say me something from sigel, but its not installed. I have run emerge -e system, run clean without errors. I have clean /usr/local/* complete. But the mistake is ever the same, i think its QtWebkit but im not sure.

[gentoo-user] Dolphin's nfs:// kioslave transfers files slowly
Hi, Dolphin has a kioslave for nfs, used as nfs:// and mine runs slowly :-) A transfer from my laptop to my media server using a regular nfs mount runs at max speed (100Mb) over the LAN. Using nfs:// it's 15% of that at most, usually around 10Mb or so. I see the same thing at the office when comparing smb:// and a regular smbfs mount using cifs. I'm clueless about where to even start looking :-) What could explain this behaviour? [nfs:// and smb:// seem to use libs that implement those protocols, much like how XBMC uses libnfs, KDE just doesn't use the libnfs project to do it] -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
Re: [gentoo-user] Fine Tuning NTP Server
Hello Andrea, Thank you so much for your response! I was reluctant to include configuration related material for the sake of not insulting anyone however, on the server we have set: server tick.nrc.ca minpoll 64 maxpoll 1024 iburst prefer server tock.nrc.ca minpoll 64 maxpoll 1024 iburst restrict 127.0.0.1 restrict 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 minpoll 64 # Synchronize Hardare Clock CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes The reason I manually set min/maxpoll is to be in compliance with ntp server requirements: minpoll/maxpoll may not be changed below the defaults of 64 seconds and 1024 seconds respectively. For the client, I have: disable auth broadcastclient server ntp.server.com prefer # Synchronize Hardare Clock CLOCK_SYSTOHC=yes As for /etc/conf.d/ntpd, we have set nothing. To be honest I did not even know the file existed till you mentioned it: NTPD_OPTS=-u ntp:ntp I would have liked to be better prepared for this but the gentoo wiki page has been down for a few weeks now. We are not looking for microsecond synchronization however, down to the second would be nice! Kind Regards, Nick.
[gentoo-user] vsftpd syslog-ng: enemies?
Hi Gentoo-users, I have strange problem: I want to collect vsftpd-logs by syslog-ng, so I added this single line at the end of /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf: syslog_enable=YES Then I restarted vsftpd, but now I can not connect to it! I do not get login/password prompt, all I see is: $ ftp 10.0.0.173 Connected to 10.0.0.173 (10.0.0.173). 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_cmd ftp I removed that above mentioned line from vsftpd-config, restarted vsftpd, tried again. And everything works as expected. So the problem is caused by that single line. But why syslog_enable option does not work? Apart from that my vsftpd.conf is default as it comes with vsftpd-installation, nothing changed. The same is true for syslog-ng.conf. I noticed one more strange thing: whenever I restart vsftpd (/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart), I see messages on the screen but nothing is saved to /var/log/messages (or to any other log-file). When I restart any other service (i.e. sshd, sendmail, bind), corresponding message is recorded to /var/log/messages. Why is it not so in case of vsftpd? It seems to me vsftpd has problem accessing /dev/log... Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists! Everything else is considered to be spam and therefore deleted.

It may have nothing to do with your problem, but have you run python-
updater? I did that just now and it's rebuilding 16 packages, including
PyQt4. Not the same as QtWebKit I know, but I'm clutching at straws now.
Any time I suspect an inconsistency in my system I run python-updater, then
perl-cleaner, then revdep-rebuild. It sometimes helps.
I'm puzzled by the following, which I checked to compare with the import
error you quoted:
$ eix -c qtwebkit
[I] dev-qt/qtwebkit (4.8.4(4){tbz2}@08/05/13): The WebKit module for the Qt

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Setting size of /dev/shm or cleaning up ancient /etc/fstab
On Wed, May 08, 2013 at 08:43:53AM +0200, Alan McKinnon wrote
a tmpfs defaults to half ram size. If yours is 10M, then quite obviously
you run some code somewhere that does it different :-)
You could go through the effort of tracking down why. Unless this is a
default behaviour of mdev which needs debugging, pathcing and fixing, I
don't think you should spend any brain cycles on this, just add this to
the mount options
size=50%
I think I found the root of the problem, in /etc/init.d/mdev
mount_it()
{
if fstabinfo --quiet /dev ; then
mount -n /dev
else
# Some devices require exec, Bug #92921
mount -n -t tmpfs -o exec,nosuid,mode=0755,size=10M mdev /dev
fi
}
I replaced size=10M with size=50% and rebooted. It now works
properly. Bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469226 filed.

The soname version number does not necessarily have to be the same as
the release version, as you see in this case, it's actually somewhat
common. MOST packagers try to keep them the same but there's no
technical reason for them to be.
Most noticeably I see a lot of KDE-related packages having so versions
that differ from the release version. In this case I guess it is
because QtWebkit kind of exists on its own, despite being part of Qt
proper since 4.8-ish. Probably QtWebKit interface changes are
happening on a different schedule than Qt version releases so they
have to keep bumping the so version? Maybe somebody with more
knowledge of Qt would know for sure.

Package and version don't always coincide. The library is from the same
package that eix reported.

On Desktop after new build the Qt Software and set
USE=bash-completion emerge calibre all is well done. On the netbook
i run the new builds at moments, that need time. I try then what you
write and run the same emerge command like on Desktop. Then we see
what happen. But normal i run emerge -e system, so the Qt is new
build or im wrong? But we will see what happen.

[gentoo-user] fdisk warnings during install; questions
I'm using the 20130207 install iso. This is to enable me to get a *REALLY* predictable NIC name, namely eth0, but I digress. The 2 warnings I get are... 1) WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. I've repartitioned it 3 or 4 times, but it still comes up with that error when I fire up fdisk. Is it a problem, and if so, can I dd a few sectors to remove whatever it's complaining about? 2) The device presents a logical sector size that is smaller than the physical sector size. Aligning to a physical sector (or optimal I/O) size boundary is recommended, or performance may be impacted. The fdisk p command gives the following output header Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes The fdisk default seems to be to start partition 1 at sector 2048.

[gentoo-user] Annoying structure of /var/db/pkg/category/package-name database
Having package data in /var/db/pkg/category/package-name carries the nuisance factor that finding a package involves a fishing expedition through many possible categories. I am spoiled by having /var/db/pkg/package-name in NetBSD pkgsrc and FreeBSD ports, though FreeBSD is wsitching to a different structure nkwon as pkgng. Is there any way to configure so as to avoid this annoyance in Gentoo? Like maybe making /var/db/pkg/package-name? One can do ls /var/db/pkg/*/package-name but this is still an annoyance. I have some limited experience with Gentoo Linux on my older computer. Compiling the kernel took 130 minutes, and then the kernel failed to boot. Tom
