You should report that as a bug. "hppa" is not a USE flag, it is an
arch keyword.
Apart from modifying the ebuild there's not much you as a user can do -
the thing the error is complaining about is done in the ebuild.

I always start by running the problem program from a bash prompt so I can look for error messages. Then I check any config files in my ~/ directory, usually using grep -ir to check for the name of the program or other strings that the program would probably use for config stuff. If that doesn't turn up anything useful I resort to running the program with strace to see which files it's trying to open. I think most newer programs use gui file dialogs when you are asked to specify a default directory, but a few older ones may ask you to type in a directory name from the keyboard, and it's easy to misspell something.

Quite interestingly, the ebuild for pam 1.1.5 also checks for 'use
hppa', so is it really a bug? :S

pam-1.1.5.ebuild uses EAPI=4 and pam-1.1.6 uses EAPI=5. IIRC there were
some changes in IUSE calculation between those EAPI's.
So I think this warrants a bug just to clarify this.
Strange thing is pam-1-1-6 compiles fine here and I think it should fail
anywhere if the above mentioned eapi changes are the reason for this
failure. Maybe there is something wrong with your configuration.

That helped. I renamed it and it still does the same thing. I played with it a bit, it seems to just recall whatever was last used. If I change to a different directory, it just changes to the new location but still saves to /home/dale even tho that is not what is recorded in the file.

Ran into the same problem, with my sister's PC. Which I had updated from remote, so I did not see the elogs. I do not think it is correct behaviour to continue building udev although the system wouldn't boot with that kernel option missing. I would expect the udev ebuild to check the running kernel for that option, and refuse to build until it has it set. Or until building is forced by some USE flag or an environment variable. Had these things not been handled better in the past? Alex

The only idea that comes to mind is that gtkam for some reason is trying to save to some place you don't have write privileges, like / or /run, maybe. That's where I would trot out strace, which will allow you to see exactly where gtkam is trying to write when it fails. The other trick I use is to create a new user with a new home directory and try running gtkam from that account. Often I find that the new user doesn't see the same bug as my normal user, so at least I know the problem is somewhere in my home directory, and strace will narrow the scope of my debugging even more. The "-y" and "-e file" flags for strace are very handy for this kind of debugging problem.
[gentoo-user] [OT] Nigerian spam coming through google calendar invitations
I thought I'd been rooted when I saw a notification pop up on my desktop with no previous actions on my part -- it just appeared out of nowhere for no apparent reason, offering to sell me gold dust (cheap!). Turns out that evolution (a gnome clone of MS Outook) was checking my google calendar account automatically and I didn't even know it. I use gmail every day, but never use the google calendar app that comes bundled with the gmail account. I do use the evolution calendar function on this local machine for popup reminders of birthdays, etc, but never do I publish my calendar on the internet. So, be aware that some calendar apps are set to do this insane stuff by default -- and google calendar accepts unsolicited invitations by default(!). Maybe you should turn that off if you're not expecting a Nigerian offer you can't refuse?

I would do some simple series of dd read/write tests to see how the flash card of the camera behaves compared to other USB devices. If there is a significant difference then the problem is probably device/hardware related, rather than the application you use to access it with. Make sure you do not unplug it in haste. It takes time for the I/O buffer to empty when you are writing to it, despite what your terminal/GUI is telling you. If you have Gkrellms keep an eye on the Disk access to see when it finished doing it and then unmount it cleanly. I know you know all this, but having been impatient myself and losing data I'd rather repeat it here, just as a cautionary tale. ;-) -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

How to fix this?
I encountered these types of errors when building as well. It is because
the "embedded" profile, which is the profile crossdev selects by
default, is missing a huge amount of information. I tried defining it
all in ${PORTAGE_CONFIG_ROOT}/profile but it got to be a chore. I ended
up switching to the default Linux profile for ARM, which worked much better.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 4.9.5 VERY slow to respond
Hi, Dale. There is something else. I have upgraded gcc, done an "emerge -evuDN world", even recompiled the kernel, and the graphic system has stuck again a while ago.

There's a furious debate going on in -dev about this very thing, and the bottom line is that your statements above are way too simplistic. - there is no guarantee that /proc/config.gz represents the kernel the binary will actually run on (this emerge might well be the last process you ever run on that kernel) - there is no guarantee that /usr/src/linux corresponds to anything at all (it's a symlink and can point to anything, even invalid stuff) - there is no guarantee that the build host will run the code (think build farms, crossdev etc, so every available config cannot possibly be valid) - and a couple more Basically, the only thing left for the ebuild devs is to notify the user with the important information. The question is not whether to halt the build or not (that cannot and will not be done) but how to do the communication: - news item - elog - README - some arb notice on a web site somewhere . This is gentoo, the distro that does not hold your hand and gives you every opportunity to keep both pieces. This is a good example of such. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

I logged out and then logged in with the test user. It did the same thing. I can say, I have never even tried to use gtkam as that user. I told it to save some pics to /home/dale2/Desktop and it saved them to /home/dale2/ again. It still ignores my settings. I tried something else too. I have a separate partition for my backups. I changed the permissions for it and tried to save some pics to that, it still tries to save to /home/dale/ and even complains that they already exist, since they are their from the last time. So, saving to /backup doesn't work either. It still wants to save to /home/dale no matter what I do. So, since it does this as two different users, is this a program error? I'm going to google some more but not real sure what to look for. I'm also going to check the group file to see if something has been added there that I need to be a member of.

This is a good example of such. I'm no longer subscribed to -dev, so I must have missed that thread.[1] My *preference* in these matters is twofold: 1) Don't depend on the running kernel. I'd like to be able to use portage to cross-compile from one amd64 box to another[2], and the running kernel will be different from the kernel I'm compiling for. 2) Just as we have autounmask-write to force us through a manual confirmation step if we have to change USE flags or unmask something, I'd like autounmask to be able to service an "are you sure you want to override this particular serious warning?" behavior. It'd actually be pretty simple to do with per-package USE flags, and, since autounmask only operates on exact versions of packages, you'd be asked for confirmation on every upgrade. Yes, autounmask makes a mess of /etc/portage/package.use over time, but that's why you should periodically go through and sweep the cobwebs out of there. [1] What with unexpectedly losing my job, I suddenly had even less time than I already had, since I needed to dive full-bore into job hunting. [2] Different CFLAGS, distcc isn't a good option in my circumstance, and I'd risk an "illegal instruction" error a binary in a chroot used an instruction available on the target machine's CPU, but not on the source machine's CPU. -- :wq

I date code mine and sometimes add other hints to the name. If I just copy them over from the card reader, it uses the same name as the camera uses and that doesn't let me keep track as I like too. I may see if digikam will import from the card reader thingy tho. That *may* work. Still prefer to plug in my camera tho. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...

How to fix this?
I encountered these types of errors when building as well. It is because the
"embedded" profile, which is the profile crossdev selects by default, is
missing a huge amount of information. I tried defining it all in
${PORTAGE_CONFIG_ROOT}/profile but it got to be a chore. I ended up
switching to the default Linux profile for ARM, which worked much better.

I can't for the life of me figure out why that would matter but it did. It's been a while so I can't remember what I did but I have ran into that on both my machines. It also makes the login on a Console take longer too. It makes a fast system act like a old Mac Classic. O_O May want to check on that sort of stuff too.

I can get digikam to import from the card with a reader thingy. It took me a while, some hair pulling, a few threats of using a hammer but I got it to name them like I want. So, in the meantime I can get my pics. Thing is, to get to my card, I have to about disassemble the camera. I have to remove the mount for the tri-pod, the bottom and the battery to get it out. Well, it gives me a good excuse to charge the battery. Thing lasts for months on a charge tho. That battery is really long lasting. I still want to get gtkam fixed tho. It's much faster and simpler for me. Digikam has lots of bells and whistles I don't need. Dale :-) :-) P. S. For everyone else, never a crash or problem reading the card in the card reader thingy using the exact same cable. Worked like a charm. It seems USB just does not like cameras. -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
