[gentoo-user] Kde menu
Hi list, I'm using gentoo since some months now, and I have to say that I really start to like it, especially the possibility of customizing and deciding how to 'create' your system. On the 'not so happy' side I think I have found only minor things; the biggest point is I don't have a 'consistent' kde menu: some applications with GUI are missing from the menu, some are present twice; the categorization itself is somehow dis-organized, with some entries showing an 'other' child menu, listing applications that could fit also in the parent menu (things like kde->graphic->other). Is there a way to reorganize the menu automatically, without having to go through all the installed packages per hand? I looked on the net, ant in the wikis, but cannot find reasonable documentation. That would be relly nice, because althought I know the stuff I installed, other people accessing the PC may be happy to use it, well you know, as it were that other dumb OS where you can use programs without dealing with that scary 'black window for the commands'.

KDE tries to organise the items in a rational manner, but it also provides Kmenuedit to allow you to do whatever you want. After you've designed your menu as you like it best, you simply have to check that new apps get put where you prefer. BTW there's a cute little app Apwal (x11-misc), which you can customise to call up a temporary array of icons on your desktop representing apps. I have it assigned to L-click & use it for apps I commonly use, but don't have restarted by KDE when it starts up.

You can use find to chown all files owned by the user to the new uid.
Untested example (suppose old uid is 100):
# usermod -u 120 cyrus
# find / -user 100 -exec chown cyrus \{\} \;
the last line could also have been
# find / -user 100 -exec chown 120 \{\} \;
These examples are untested, but you should get the idea.

Why's that? You will at least bork the existing files to a degree that
they can't be automatically uninstalled by emerge anymore.

No, usermod & Co only modify the authentication db, i.e. /etc/passwd.

A subsequent run of
find / -user -exec chown cyrus '{}' \;
(as root, of course) should suffice. I don't see a way to do this
atomically with the UID change.
Note that your backups will probably still carry the old UID, keep that
in mind for the case you need to restore them.

It should be a function of KDE, not the distro. Sometimes, KDE puts apps in unexpected places: perhaps you were just lucky with the apps you installed with Mandriva. Before Gentoo (2000-3), I used Mandriva & didn't notice any difference. Another possibility is that you're now using a newer version of KDE, which may do things differently, though again I haven't noticed it. You don't have to put everything in the KDE menu: you can use the miniterminal ( Alt-F2 ), which has a history list. -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT`-O--O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

ACK. I'll try to explain the logic behind a little bit more detailed: On Linux (and probably other Unix'ish kernels), files are not identified by names, but inode-id's. The name is just an pointer to the file, just like an DNS-name->IP-addr mapping ;-) Many such pointers to some file may exist. Only when all pointers are removed (open fd's also considered as an pointer) the file gets actually removed. That's why the syscall used for removing a file is called unlink(): it just removes the given name but does not actually delete it. When you intend to replace some file, you've got two choices: (from the kernel's view) a) open the existing file, probably truncate it and write new the data. if someone has opened this file, he will see the changes you made. If the file has been mmap'ed to some process, it will see the changes immediately in its address space. therefore files should be locked (at least the used regions), so an accidental overwrite (which may cause ugly crashes) can be prevented. AFAIK on Linux, .TEXT segments are always locked when the get mapped in (you you get "busy" when trying to write there) b) create a new file under the old name. either by renaming or unlink'ing the old file. here you've got no problem w/ other processes holding the file opened, since you actually have two different files. the new file only gets accessed when you (re)open the file and thus let the kernel do an new name->inode lookup. BTW: when coding installers for running systems (which in fact is the case in >90%). Do not use cp (at least GNU coreutils), since it *overwrites* the existing file (case a). This will fail on used .TEXT (=executable code) files, since they're locked and most likely produce problems with other open files. If writing the file does not run almost immediately you should first write to some temporary file (on the same filesystem!) and then do a quick rename (unlink(..) ; rename(..)) so nobody tries to use unfinished files. And be very careful you reinstall you (running) installer ! Several years ago, glibc had a critical problem, which screwed up your system on install over the running system: it first removed the /lib/ld.so and /lib/libc* symlinks and then recreated them by separate calling /bin/rm and /bin/ln binaries. If they weren't linked statically, it killed itself - /bin/ln coulnd'n be executed since libc was unusable in this moment. Using -s flag to ln instead of calling rm did the trick. I have no idea how careful emerge is here ... cu -- - Enrico Weigelt== metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ - Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

From "man emerge": --deep (-D) When used in conjunction with --update, this flag forces emerge to consider the entire dependency tree of packages, instead of checking only the immediate dependencies of the packages. As an example, this catches updates in libraries that are not directly listed in the dependencies of a package.

Then I intend to create a new swap part of 1Gb right after the new hda1 and use the remaining space for /home. So my question is, can I do all this using QTParted?

Without an extended partition you will limit yourself to 4 partitions total and it is a nightmare to get it back to having an extended partition. Leave it as is, it does no harm and as far as you the user are concerned you end up with up to 16 (maybe 64) partitions max. > So my question is, can I do all this using QTParted?

Hello. I noticed that after the last upgrade to gnome-terminal, my TERM variable is set to 'gnome'. The way it is, it causes all kind of trouble, when, for example, I ssh into another machine and get my TERM set to gnome too. Things then don't work correctly, vim doesn't highlight colors, arrow keys don't work, etc. I think that's because the remote machines do not understand this kind of terminal, and so fall back to 'dumb' or something like that. What's the problem with leaving TERM=xterm when under gnome-terminal? Isn't this a fine standard for all X terminals? Is there a gnome-terminal configuration somewhere that lets me set the TERM that I want? I'll have a look at gconf. Well, that's it. -- Bruno Lustosa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.lustosa.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Uwe Thiem iway.na> writes: > how would I be able to record video *and* audio from the TV card > into an MPEG2 file? Hello Uwe, In my experienes, you need to build a 'mixing studio' or at least a very simple A/V mixing system. There are too many A/V tools to use. I'd first look at the MoBo book and see what onboard hardware you have plus 'lspci' -v and 'lshw'. Using the core mobo chips is usually the most straightforward. Also look at what sound cards you have. Then 'eix ' using mixer, audio, jack, alsa etc to discover the various packages and try them out. Also use google to search for + where audio chips are the actual chips you find on your hardware. 'kmix' is a quick and simple mixer that often provides control over the various audio chips. You'll also have to rebuild your kernel many times to find the right combo of drivers to compile in and/or load as modules. Often the various audio chip drivers conflict at the kernel, udev or application level. There is no 'silver bullet' to build a mixer/mux for A/V, in my experience. It all depends on what you need. Moving over old movies, one of your greatest challenges will be keeping the audio and video synchronized over the duration of the recorded stream. hth, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

PackageB also has dependencies PackageC and PackageD. "emerge --update world" will update PackageA and its direct dependency PackageB. Packages C+D would only be updated if PackageB absolutely required more recent versions then what is already installed, and specifies that in its ebuild.

some applications with GUI are missing from the menu
...so if some GUI application doesn't have a .desktop file provided by
$upstream, Gentoo probably will not have it.
However it is perfectly reasonable to file bugs in bugs.gentoo.org
about this, and request a .desktop file be added. It is even better
if you can make a .desktop file yourself, and attach it to the bug
report.
some are present twice
Did you preserve your ~/.kde directories from another system? If so,
you may have .desktop files there that account for the duplicate
entries.
the categorization itself is somehow dis-organized, with some entries showing an
'other' child menu, listing applications that could fit also in the parent menu
(things like kde->graphic->other).
Not sure what you mean by "other". I have "More Applications"
sub-menus, but no "Other" menus. But assuming this is what you mean,
this is controlled by the X-KDE-More category in the .desktop file.
Again, this is a case of Gentoo following $upstream more closely.
If you really don't like this, you can:
find /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications -name "*.desktop" -exec \
sed -i -e "s/X-KDE-More;//g" {} \;
But bewarned, gentoo will then refuse to remove the .desktop files
when you go to a new KDE version, since their mtime and md5sum will no
longer match what gentoo thinks they should be. So you may have to do
a bit of manual cleanup from time-to-time. Or you can use quickpkg to
make binary tarballs of the KDE packages, and then re-install from
those, which will fix the mtime/md5 sums in the package database to
match what you changed.

The issue was fixed, and X works, but I still get that error. I even get that message on my Debian Etch machine! I'd also check to make sure xorg-xserver is installed.

The PVR-150 muxes the audio and video into an mpeg stream. When using "composite in" the sound should be coming in the "line in" However your driver may need to be switched to the right device, use ivtvctl ivtvctl -A - lists the audio inputs ivtvctl -Q - tells which one it is switched to now ivtvctl -qn - switches to input n > > > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Its not a gentoo project! I was confused by the OP referring to "gentoo vdr" differences AFAIK: 1. VDR is for DVB only 2. VDR is very Euro-centric - thats not a criticism, just worth knowing as european tv has many differences to, eg, USA tv in terms of technical format. 3. There is far more documentation around for MythTV, I struggle to find good docs for VDR. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] libGL.so
Howdy all, I ran an update deep and such, and things worked nicely. And after that I ran a revdep-rebuild, and things didn't go so smoothly. I'm running into this error: /usr/lib/libGL.so: No such file or directory Now, I do have libGL.so.1, as well as 1.0.7174 (which I think is an artifact of an nvidia driver I was trying to get to work with no luck). Actually, those parentheses deserve a bit of splainin'. I've got an old nVidia TNT2 card here, and the proprietary nVidia drivers don't seem to play nice with the newer kernel just yet. So I switched back to the regular nv driver for the meantime. This is why the 1.0.7174 soname is there I think... Anyways, anybody know what I need to emerge to get the libGL.so that revdep-rebuild wants to see to be there? Thanks! R -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
