I have over 1200 classical CDs that I have only recently begun ripping
to flac with freedb titles.  I wrote a utility to do this that you are
very welcome to try.  It does not have an ebuild, but it should work as
long as you install dev-python/cddb-py.

 Rich, I'll be practical. Gentoo needs an installer program, like most

 nope.
 
 Gentoo does not need an 'installer'. We have way too many people not
 being able to read simple instructions already or spending 5minutes on
 googlethinking for themselves. Just look at this mailing list. We
 really don't need more of them.

I disagree.  There are always going to be people who don't read
instructions or who don't even share your intuition about things.

The most annoying aspect of using gentoo, and the place most fraught
with potential wasted time, is the initial setup.  It would be nice to
have an installer that setup a complete, minimal graphical desktop,
which could then be reworked by the user to their preferences and needs
because when you start with something working, you are more likely to
end with something working than when you start with something that is
not working and in some contexts doesn't even exist yet.

'Gentoo is difficult' is not an existentially justifiable argument.
'Gentoo works' is.  The more the latter can be advanced even at the
expense of the former, the better Gentoo itself will be.

 In lieu of an informed opinion (which you've not been offered yet) I can
 say that I emerged it today on two different machines, and your useflags
 differ from mine in that I do *not* have these enabled:

 (dbus eap-sim hs2-0 qt4 readline ssl wps -ap -fasteap -gnutls -p2p -ps3 -
 selinux -smartcard -tdls -uncommon-eap-type)

Thanks for your replies.  I enabled all of those USE flags on
wpa_supplicant without any good reason when I switched from
NetworkManager to wpa_gui several weeks ago.  Mainly I was interested in
exploring the capabilities of the project; it seems I've encountered
some incomplete, old, and/or broken features.

[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant cannot find crypto routines

2015-04-28 Thread Justin Findlay
I am unable to emerge net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-2.4-r1.  I've
encountered this on two systems now.

The output included has been insensitively thrashed by thunderbird, so
I've also pasted it along with some other info.

https://gist.github.com/jfindlay/b3fc74bda7d4cfb5a2dc

The first is the result from an emerge of wpa_supplicant, the subsequent
two are the result of `ebuild $(equery which wpa_supplicant) merge`.
Additional attempts at ebuild merging in this way always produce the
output of the second ebuild merge.

I've found these similar problems in a web search, but nothing seems to
be directly related.

http://lists.shmoo.com/pipermail/hostap/2009-February/019392.html
http://ask.csdn.net/questions/61862
http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/360043934234201692.html

I'm wondering if I have an unusual USE flags situation that is causing
this, but so far the problem seems to be (related to) a misconfiguration
in the wpa_sup[plicant build system.  I am going to continue to
investigate, but would appreciate any knowledge or experience anyone
else can provide.  Thanks.

If you need a temporary public resolver and you don't want to send more

4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3

You should normally use and know the DNS servers provided by the most

Here is an interesting intro to the subject (be sure to also read the

[gentoo-user] pipelight problems

2015-02-16 Thread Justin Findlay
I have been using pipelight in firefox successfully for several months.
However, recently I upgraded wine and pipelight and now
pipelight/silverlight is not recognized by firefox and is not listed
under plugins at about:addons.

I've followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Netflix/Pipelight and everything worked
except for this step:

demeter ~ master # pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight
ERROR: Your system is missing a copy of
/usr/lib64/pipelight/libpipelight.so at
/usr/lib64/pipelight/libpipelight-silverlight5.1.so

After I did

ln -s
/usr/lib64/debug/usr/lib64/pipelight/libpipelight-silverlight5.1.so.debug 
/usr/lib64/pipelight/libpipelight-silverlight5.1.so

everything else seemed to work correctly according to the wiki instructions.

This is what I've tried so far:

rm -fr .wine-pipelight/
mv .mozilla mozilla
downgrade firefox from 35.0 to 31.4.0

emerge and further info:

[gentoo-user] howto disable automatic net.eth0 configuration

2011-11-22 Thread Justin Findlay
I have a laptop computer with an ethernet port, and during bootup
dhcpcd gets invoked (twice) to configure a network connection on
'eth0'.  I have set

rc_hotplug=* !net.eth0

in /etc/rc.conf and

RC_HOTPLUG=yes
RC_COLDPLUG=yes
RC_PLUG_SERVICES=!net.eth0

in /etc/conf.d/rc (why do these files still both exist after 7 years,
especially as they contain duplicate configuration?)

I have also set 'noipv4ll' in /etc/dhcpcd.conf.  None of these
configurations prevent the double automatic initialization attempts
for net.eth0.

I would just unmerge dhcpcd, but it seems that NetworkManager needs an
external dhcp client.  What can I do to prevent this behavior?  What
have I missed?

 I'm wondering about that no-implicit-templates.  What happens if you
 delete it?

I was somewhat surprised by this too.  I've been grepping through
inherited ebuilds and eclasses to try to find where
-fno-implicit-templates gets inserted into CXXFLAGS, but found
nothing.  Within the ebuild itself, the only files that contained this
flag were the Makefiles (not Makefile.??), temp/build.log (naturally,
but as a particle physicist I feel compelled to list the self
interaction for completeness), and temp/environment.  It seemed
unlikely that gentoo would have put that into the default environment,
and I found no references in /etc/env.d/, /etc/*bash*, /etc/skel/, or
even /etc/.

At this point I remembered that I was emerging through a chroot from
another distro, and indeed -fno-implicit-templates came from a custom
CXXFLAGS there.  Thanks for giving me the idea to track this down,
because removing the flag also removes the link error.

 I can't figure out where the device file is.  With the scanner

 scanner on or off.  Any idea where that file might be?   Those two
 commands also don't mention it.

Another way to get info is to power on the scanner and plug it in, then
`modprobe -r` the appropriate kernel module(s) and then modprobe them
while doing `tail -F /var/log/messages`.  The kernel (udev) will create the
appropriate /dev entries upon successful modprobe.

In order for your user to be registered as a member of a group you have
to log completely out (including your X session) and back in.  You can
verify your group memberships with the groups command.  Judging from
what you've said I bet it was merely an issue of adding your user to the
scanner or usb group.  My experience with usb scanners is they generally
just work whereas when I start up my SCSI scanner I always have to
remodprobe the kernel drivers and then `chown :scanner /dev/sg?  
chmod 0770 /dev/sg?`, but there's probably a better (right) way to do
that. :-)

Do all of that first and then check for qt3 dependencies with

equery depends x11-libs/qt-3*

or

qdepends x11-libs/qt-3*

equery is part of app-portage/gentoolkit and qdepends comes from

You just won't be able to build modules against them, for example.  I've

I'd try the merge world without setting USE=gnome first, and then

you want to be more clever about it/save some time, you can try to
figure out the problematic packages and just temporarily disable gnome

I don't have much experience with USB devices or how udev handles

that it is still a permission issue.  You could find the (ephemeral)

You should care because not even Free Software or gentoo is free.  As in
politics apathy will only get you what you want or keep the affairs of
state safely insulated in the bureaucracy as long as somebody favorable
or benign is in power.  You may be satisfied with gentoo now but what
will you do when emerge --sync stops working because somebody stopped
caring?  I don't claim that everybody should contribute the same effort
or work or any work at all, but rather that you ought to at least care.

Go ahead and pick up a copy of the next distro when gentoo crumbles to
the ground but at least reflect then that each distro out there is made
great by the work of lots of talented developers, volunteers most of

This isn't meant to chasten anyone into a state of open source piety,

 But, for some reason it just dies on a amd64 with an ATI-1900 XT
 card. I just got the ati-drivers happy on this system. When I fire
 up bzflag, it takes control of the screen for a fraction of a second.
 
 I've looked in /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
 but nothing there. How do I debug this?
 
 Both version 2.0.4 and 2.0.8 exhibit the same symptoms.  

Have you made sure you enabled/disabled the proper modules in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and followed the howto?

How is asterisk communicating with your modem card?

I think there is more going on here than gcc-config.  I encountered the
very same problems on my machine only after having done an `emerge -uDN
world` and only having one compiler, gcc-4.4.4-r1, on the system.

Hans, I was able to fix gcc-config with `gcc-config -f 1`.  However not
only is /usr/bin/gcc seg faulting but
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.1/gcc is also insomuch that I can't
even compile this simple program without a segmentation fault,

int main()
{
  return 0;
}

yet even after having done `gcc-config -f 1` the profile may be correct
according to gcc-config,

# gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1 *

but the compiler still gives segmentation faults.  This totally baffles
me as `ldd /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.1/gcc` shows that gcc
only links in

libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x2aadee5c4000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x2aadee4a6000)

and the mtimes on all three files (gcc, libc.so, ld-linux-x86-64.so)
are according to ls:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   23 Sep  4 22:39

 Hello!
 
 In /etc/etc-update.conf, there's the using_editor= (with 0 and 1,

 What's that supposed to mean? What does it do? When should
 it be set to 1 (true) and when to 0? What's an editor? Or,
 more directly, I'd like to use meld as the diff_command
 tool - do I need to set using_editor=1 or =0?

From /usr/sbin/etc-update, which is a symlink to
/usr/lib/portage/bin/etc-update, the only reference to 'using_editor' is
on line 483.  Here is some context:

function do_cfg() {
...
  showdiffcmd=$(echo ${diff_command} |
  sed -e s:%file1:${ofile}: -e s:%file2:${file}:)

  if [ ${using_editor} == 0 ]; then
  (
  echo Showing differences between ${ofile} and ${file}
  ${showdiffcmd}
  ) | ${pager}
  else
  echo Beginning of differences between ${ofile} and ${file}
  ${showdiffcmd}
  echo End of differences between ${ofile} and ${file}
  fi

Basically it looks like if you have a pager set then you're 'using an
editor' otherwise it doesn't expect a pager.  Seems like a redundant
config to me.

Hi,

3 days ago I just switched back to Gentoo after not using it for

However, I've been having issues emerging packages.  Frequently,
the build will crap out and I'll get something like the
following.  Any idea why this happens?

If you're getting the compiler segmentation fault on many packages at
random times you probably have bad hardware.  The causes I've seen for
this are bad or intermittently bad ram/other hardware, or hardware
failure over a certain temperature.  The first can be easily diagnosed
with memtest86+ as once the probe hits bad sectors you'll know about it.
The second is much more difficult to track down but not impossible.  If
your compiler is segfaulting once the CPU hits a certain temperature,
then you can verify this is going on by emerging a package and watching
the temperature and observe at which temperature the compiler segfaults.
Older Athlons run pretty hot.  If this is your case you may want to buy
the expensive silver heat sink compound.  As for OS problems I don't
know what to say except that this may be a sign not to run -mm or better
patch sets and expect things to be stable. (:  At least all the critical
ebuilds should filter out insanity CFLAGS.

/etc/sysconfig is a RedHat invention.  That's where they keep their

configuration that RedHat has specifically built (G)UIs for.

One of the things I love so much about Gentoo is that it is so

[gentoo-user] linux make modules fails

When I try to build the 'modules' target with linux it doesn't create

No cross compiling.  This kernel is for the machine that's compiling
it.  I first noticed this when I tried to install

There's a neat little utility called equery (from gentoolkit) that
will give you descriptions of local package USE flags, so in your case
try,

$ equery uses mysql

and

$ equery uses slocate

and enjoy. (:  Alternatively, you can grep for latin1 or aio in
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc to see all the packages that have
USE flags with those particular names.

Re: [gentoo-user] New USE flags???

The suggested equery wasn't much help, but grep-ing use.local.desc was a gold
mine. Thanks! I had already looked into use.desc and I stopped there and
posted my request for help. Why is it, that use.desc contains less
information about the use flags than use.local.desc?


The difference is that use.local.desc contains flags that are local to
specific ebuilds while the flags in use.desc are system wide flags. 
Some flags in use.local.desc are common across 2 or even more ebuilds.

I don't know why those flags aren't global flags.  There may even be
flags in use.local.desc that share the same name but mean very
different things to different packages.

Honestly, I think USE flags, as powerful as they are, are the
cruftiest part of Gentoo and could be so much more powerful and ought
to be so much less clumsy.

Re: [gentoo-user] can gnome use prelink?

Hi!
I know kde can use prelink to accelerate.
Can gnome do it?
If it can,how?I know in kde we should change the file 99kde-env in
/etc/env.d,but here i can't see any file relate gnome.


If you have prelink installed and the cron job runs successfully, then
you have all dynamically linked code on your system prelinked, not
just GNOME and KDE which you probably knew already.  What
'KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1' from /etc/env.d/99kde-env does is tell kde not to
load kdeinit, or at least that is what the prelink guide says. 
kdeinit must have some functionality that is superseded by prelinking.

I don't know if GNOME has any simmilar daemon.

You can either wait for the gentoo mirrors to pick up your package or
you can look at the SRC_URI in the ebuild file so you can download the
file manually.

Try 'equery depends gentoo-sources' to see which package(s) want gentoo-sources.

 It has a /bin and /sbin with similar binaries as the root equivalents.

 I have read that it's called the secondary hierarchy and it's sharable and
 meant to be read only (these days) ... but what is it for and why do we have
 duplication of /bin and /sbin?

 Thanks for the URL, but I had this question after reading this very
 document.

 It doesn't explain the history or the reason there are two /bin, /sbin.

/bin contains commands that may be used by both the system
administrator and by users, but which are required when no other
filesystems are mounted

/usr/bin : Most user commands

That's why.

Your lines above are invalid syntax for a package.mask file, although
you shouldn't be editing files under /usr/portage/profiles as once you
do an 'emerge --sync' all your changes will be overwritten.  Instead
you should edit (create) /etc/portage/package.mask to mask packages or
edit /etc/portage/package.kewords to accept keywords for specific
packages.

 perl-5.8.8-r1 is *already* installed according to

One thing you can try is perl-cleaner.
