Short answer.
1. Emerge xinetd, if not already installed
2. add a vnc file to /etc/xinetd.d - mine looks like:
service vnc
{
type= UNLISTED
port= 5900
socket_type = stream

server_args = :42 -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 1400x1050
-depth 24 -fp /usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/ -co
/usr/share/X11/rgb
disable = no
}
3. Enable xdmcp in your gdm/xdm configuration file
4. start/restart xdm/gdm and xinetd
Note: There are security implications with having both xdmcp and xinetd
turned on. Please make sure that you understand those risks.

As discussed previously it was suggested to change CHOST and do a emerge -e system; emerge -e world then following the gcc-upgrade- and gentoo-upgrade-guide.

But my old ( == current, not upgraded) gcc is named after the wrong CHOST nameing (i386-pc-linux-gnu). Naturally none of the tools was able to find the new gcc -- or using the old one instead. The situation now is: To upgrade to the new gcc-4.1 I Co. have to change CHOST in beforehand. After changing CHOST no compiler will be found and I will no longer be able to upgrade to gcc-4.1 Co.

Put it in /usr/local/bin, if you emerge portage-utils, you'll overwrite the copy in /usr/bin. Once in /usr/local/bin, it's safe from anything, even if it's removed from gentoolkit.

However, there are two problems with equery: 1. it disregards the use flags. equery depends package displays all packages that may depend on a package, not the ones that really do on my system. I remember seeing something in bugzilla about this issue, but is was marked as fixed, but I could not figure out in which version (I have the latest gentoolkit). Can you give me an example? I'm not sure that I understand the issue. 2. it disregards the virtual packages. According to equery, I cas safely remove xorg-x11 (!), because no one depends on it! But if I do so, all packages depending on the virtual x11 package would be broken. So, considering this, can someone point out how can I safely remove a package? That is because the packages don't depend on xorg-x11, they depend on anything the provides the functionality of X. An equery depends virtual/x11 will show all of the packages that are dependent upon X. I have noted this as a potential enhancement to have equery look at the provides information and display the dependencies of the provided virtual. Regards, Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] gentoolkit-0.2.1 stable on x86
All: As I type this gentoolkit-0.2.1 has been marked stable on x86 and I expect it to be marked stable on other architectures in the next few days. Here is a summary of the major changes between gentoolkit-0.2.0 and gentoolkit-0.2.1. A detailed listing of the changes are in /usr/share/doc/gentoolkit-0.2.1/ChangeLog * eclean Added eclean utility for cleaning out your distfiles and Packages directories. Sample usage to remove distfiles for packages no longer installed on your system: eclean-dist --destructive --fetch-restricted time-limit=1w --destructive means to delete files for older version of installed packages. The default is to leave all source files for an installed package --fetch-restricted means to not delete files that are fetch-restricted --time-limit means to not delete files newer than the time specified eclean also supports excluding specific packages and categories through the use of an exclusion file. Please read man eclean for more details. * revdep-rebuild Updated revdep-rebuild to be more configurable by the user. One of the major complaints about revdep-rebuild is that is always wants to rebuild certain binary packages. For example openoffice-bin, mozilla-firefox-bin, etc. The main variable that users will potentially want to modify is SEARCH_DIRS_MASK. You can modify this variable either in your environment or by placing it in /etc/make.conf. For example to ensure that revdep-rebuild doesn't look in /opt you can add the line SEARCH_DIRS_MASK=/opt to /etc/make.conf and revdep-rebuild will not search that directory. Removed the hard-coded paths of directories to search and dynamically generate the list using the path from /etc/profile and /etc/ld.so.conf. This means that as you install packages, revdep-rebuild will normally automatically pick up any paths that have been added by the package. Read man revdep-rebuild for more information on the updated revdep-rebuild. Finally, as much as I would like it, revdep-rebuild is not infallible. There are still open bugs and it can still miss things. * equery Many fixes to equery to make it more usable. The major fix was fixing an issue that caused it to be extremely slow and memory hungry. However, even with that fix, equery is not the fastest program on the block. If the lack of speed bothers you, I would recommend investigating the app-portage/portage-utils package. If you have any questions on the new gentoolkit, feel free to ask here on gentoo-user and I will answer them provided another user doesn't beat me to it :) Regards, Paul signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

The version in portage is very old and for some reason, it hasn't been updated. I haven't had time to try to figure out what to do about it (submit a bug, I suppose), but it's kinda left me hanging. I know I can perfectly well install the current version from the site, but I really don't want this program to be unmanaged by Portage (I don't so much like having loose apps; it's a thing), and I know better (since I live with a tester) than to install the version in Portage, because I have a sense of just how old it is and how very unlikely it is to work; there have been a lot of changes under the hood to BOINC lately. Which is why I find the situation so odd-- how is it that the maintainer has missed the very active development that's been going on?-- and I tend to be a bit more hesitant to mix into noticeably odd situations. Actually it looks like it is being actively maintained. However, the latest version in portage is in package.mask. Below is the entry: # Marcus D.

5. Goto http://www.theora.org/ listed as the homepage
6. Click on FAQ, followed by How can I encode videos to Theora?
7. Get the following answer:
Have a look at ogg-theora-microhowto and transcode quicktime mov files
to Theora files under Linux. You can use libogg, to wrap theora video
with vorbis audio in Ogg file.
A user-friendly way to convert .dv and .avi format video into Ogg Theora
format is with ffmpeg2theora. It can be found at:
http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/
A way to both stream and encode theora format video is with videolan
(VLC).
Example for streaming the video4linux device in ogg theora/vorbis:
vlc v4l:/dev/video:input=3:norm=pal:size=384x288 --sout \
'#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=300,acodec=vorb,ab=96}:std{access=http,mux=ogg,url=server.example.org:8000}'
Or, replace v4l:/dev/video:input=3:norm=pal:size=384x288 with a
filename if you want to transcode.
For more on the vlc syntax, see:
http://videolan.org/doc/videolan-howto/en/ch09.html
9. So in order to encode theora files, I need to install ffmpeg2theora
and/or vlc. I saw ffmpeg2theora listed in the previous emerge --search,
but it was masked. Let's look at vlc

Re: [gentoo-user] Weird problem with emerge sync
What is going wrong here? It can't be my implementation of rsync (latest stable), or the US pool would fail as well. It could be the servers in the European pool, but... all of them? Or am I simply using the wrong SYNC= in /etc/make.conf? My default is rsync.europe.gentoo.org, and I don't see any documentation that indicates that that has changed or become deprecated or invalid, but maybe it has. I don't particularly want to switch permanently to the US pool, as that just seems to make more vectors of instability for everybody, and is not really the point of having continental mirror pools anyway. Anybody got a clue as to what's happening and what, if anything, I can do to fix it? You didn't state which version of rsync, but the versions below 2.6.4 do have timeout issues.

Re: [gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild reports broken libs, should I worry?
On Wed, 2005-07-06 at 09:49 -0700, Wade Brown wrote: In this specific case, Broken means Binary Package. Binary packages are distributed with all kinds of libraries linked to so that they can minimize the amount of binary packages they need to maintain (e.g. they don't need an eclipse-gnome and an eclipse-nognome package). The program will ideally run as if those features were disabled at compile time, but usually does spit out a few errors on console about missing libraries. Revdep wanting to rebuild binary packages everytime is a known issue, and in newer (still masked?) versions there is a specific directory omission setting to tell it to ignore /opt, and anywhere else there may be binary packages. If it is still masked as I think, then you could just $EDITOR `which revdep-rebuild` and take out /opt from the SEARCH_DIRS variable. Anyway, quick answer, No, your packages are not broken, so no worries. The newer revdep-rebuild is in gentoolkit-0.2.1_pre4, that version is not package masked, but it is currently keyworded with the unstable keywords. If you use the newer revdep-rebuild, the variable that you want to set is SEARCH_DIRS_MASK. Regards, Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The script I use on my gentoo boxes is available at http://dev.gentoo.org/~fuzzyray/portage.cron That script should give you a good starting point for developing something that meets your needs. It does have a few problems that I haven't fixed yet. The major one being that if the emerge command is unable to determine packages due to packages being masked, it isn't shown in the email message. Does revdep-rebuild rebuild the same version of the packages that are currently installed or will it do a package update from the portage tree? Under normal operation, it will try to rebuild the same package that is installed. If you use the --package-names option, it will rebuild with the latest version that is available.

I wondered a bit about this a few weeks ago and found a number of comments in the forums and Bugzilla that revdep-rebuild doesn't work very well yet for binary packages. I see this with openoffice-bin and thunderbird-bin. It seems logical that if I don't know the flags used for a binary build that somewhere along the way I'm going to miss some dependency on my system. Actually, revdep-rebuild doesn't care about USE flags or /var/db at all. All it checks is that the dynamic linking can be satisfied. With the exception of openoffice-bin, when revdep-rebuild indicates that it wants to rebuild a -bin package it means that the ebuild is potentially missing dependencies. The reason that I state potentially is that sometimes the libraries are placed in a non-standard place by the ebuild and revdep-rebuild is unaware of that non-standard location when checking the dynamic linking.

Looking carefully through your alcoholic fog, grab the edge of the left side of the right pane (the calendar pane) and drag it to the right. It looks like a narrow, dimpled vertical bar.

Anyhow, on one of my systems, Evolution no longer has a calendar or task pane available at all. By not available, I mean there are no menu entries under view-window in addition to there not being any buttons to push at the lower left to get into those panes. Email and Contacts are there, just not the calendar or tasks. I believe that José is running into the same issue. Regards, Paul -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I suppose you could run equery depends python-2.2.3 and see what depends on it. rygel conf.d # equery depends python-2.2.3 [ Searching for packages depending on python-2.2.3... ] Does anyone know if that means it's safe to uninstall?
