Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with installation kde-meta, gnome

[Crístian Viana]

the "qt4" useflag isn't enabled by default, right? that'd be a big 'default'
problem to people installing KDE.

there was a recent discussion about this on this mailing list:

it seems only Kmail needs that USE flag. I also haven't tried this on my

[gentoo-user] KDE 4 - error when closing window

[Crístian Viana]

hi,

every time I close a window in KDE 4.4.1, a popup shows up saying "Starting
KTTSD Failed" and I don't know why KTTSD tries to start. I don't have it
installed right now, but when I had it, KTTSD showed up after I closed a
window for the first time, and it didn't appear again. if I don't have it,
like now, the KNotify popup appears every single time I close some window,
it's annoying.

what should I do? I know I can install KTTSD but I don't need it. I wish I
could disable the setting which triggers KTTSD every time I close a window
in KDE.

thanks!

yes

Do you have something set up as a window close notification in

yes, it's set up to play a sound when a window closes. just that.

I realized the KTTSD popup only shows up when I click the X button. if I
close by a menu entry, for example (like File > Close), it doesn't happen.

[Crístian Viana]

hey, I just found out what the problem was :-)

in the file ~/.kde4/share/config/kwin.notifyrc, there was an entry in
Event/close which was telling KTTS to say out loud "Good bye" (so lame of
me, isn't it). I think I may have set that up a long time ago, to test KTTS,
and I didn't remember doing it... anyway, I just cleared the KTTS line and
removed "KTTS" from the Action line, and the popup doesn't appear anymore.

the weird thing is that the KTTS setting still works if the notifyrc file
says so, but there's no GUI option to turn if on/off. I'm sure I didn't do
this by editing a text file; some previous KDE version must have allowed me
doing it via System Setttings. now it doesn't.

thanks for your help!

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE4 doesn't heed hal keyboard settings

[Crístian Viana]

[gentoo-user] valgrind showing glibc warnings

[Crístian Viana]

hi,

when I use valgrind, it shows hundreds of warnings related to glibc. here's
one example, from "valgrind ls":

==10023== Use of uninitialised value of size 8
==10023==at 0x55605A4: (within /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so)
==10023==by 0x5560111: (within /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so)
==10023==by 0x4A1E62C: _vgnU_freeres (in
/usr/lib64/valgrind/amd64-linux/vgpreload_core.so)
==10023==by 0x548CE84: (within /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so)
==10023==by 0x548CEF4: exit (in /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so)
==10023==by 0x40864D: (within /bin/ls)
==10023==by 0x5476A25: (below main) (in /lib64/libc-2.10.1.so)

while that happens, I can't use valgrind because there's too much noise
besides my program's [possible] memory errors.

any idea of why is this happening? I reemerged =sys-libs/glibc-2.10.1-r1 but
nothing has changed.

cheers,
Crístian.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: valgrind showing glibc warnings

[Crístian Viana]

I think --gen-suppressions may be a too "complicated" solution. valgrind
shouldn't find *any* warnings from the libraries of my system at all. either
valgrind is doing something wrong or there's really some errors on glibc. in
every other system I try, valgrind runs fine.

I rebuilt valgrind, but it didn't help.

I'm running amd64, by the way.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE4 doesn't heed hal keyboard settings

[Crístian Viana]

hey Frank, that was exactly my problem! :-) I also had ibus installed and I
had those variables set. now they don't exist, my keyboard is [almost]
working with HAL. now some other problems came up (like 1) when I press /,
the cursor goes to the beginning of the text field and then the character /
is displayed; 2) when I pressed DEL it emits PrtScn and then DEL). but it's
a start, I've never imagined that ibus was the cause of this.

[gentoo-user] can't create file but disk isn't full

[Crístian Viana]

hi everyone,

something weird is happening on my system. I can't create new files, it says
"No space left on device", but the disk has several gigabytes of free space!
the output of "df -h" is:

FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 35G   23G   11G  69% /
/dev/root  35G   23G   11G  69% /
rc-svcdir 1.0M  120K  904K  12% /lib64/rc/init.d
udev   10M  240K  9.8M   3% /dev
shm   974M  1.1M  973M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda6 157G  133G   17G  89% /home
/dev/sda1  35G   28G  7.6G  79% /mnt/windows

I'm running out of space on the home partition. it says it has 17 GB of free
space, but right now there's only 330 MB available (I wrote a small program
to create the largest file it can). this was happening before, when I had a
few gigabytes free, but now the [fake] available space is growing and I'm
losing space on my disk each day! where should I start looking for to solve
this problem? the filesystem of the home partition is ext4.

I don't even know if this is related to Gentoo, but that's the OS I'm
running :-) I'm running ~amd64, by the way.

regards.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: can't create file but disk isn't full

[Crístian Viana]

I shutdown this computer everyday, those temp files shouldn't be alive for
months.

I ran lsof | grep deleted and it returned 132 lines, the biggest number
being 2032226 (2 MB?), belonging to the Chromium browser process. even if
every line had that value (which is not), that would sum up 264 MB, but the
difference of reported/real free space is way bigger than that.

changing the filesystem back to ext3 can solve this problem? it was ext3
before I've changed it to ext4 some months ago.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: can't create file but disk isn't full

[Crístian Viana]

root can create new files! I created a big file with the remaining 17 GB
logged in with root. I'll run this tune2fs later, before shutting down the
machine.

what exactly is this reserved block count? is it about the number of inodes?
does that mean that, by default, regular users can only use 95% of the
inodes? and why did I use all these inodes? I don't think I have that many
small files on this partition...

inside /usr/src, there may be more than one subdirectory, one for each
kernel version you've ever had. you can purge the older kernel directories,
just "rm -rf" on them. do not delete your current kernel directory: use
"eselect kernel list" (or "uname -r") to find out what's your current
version.

[gentoo-user] libvirt needs VirtualBox XPCOMC

hi,

when I was trying to emerge the newest libvirt ebuild, the following error
appeared on configure:

checking for VirtualBox XPCOMC location... not found
configure: error: VirtualBox XPCOMC is required for the VirtualBox driver

what do I need to install to make it work? I'm emerging with the USE flags:

[ebuild U ] app-emulation/libvirt-0.8.2 [0.8.1-r1] USE="libvirtd lxc
network nls python qemu virtualbox -avahi -caps -iscsi -lvm -macvtap% -nfs

Re: [gentoo-user] libvirt needs VirtualBox XPCOMC

[Crístian Viana]

>
> Do you want to use libvirt with virtualbox?


well, I wanted to make some tests with libvirt and VirtualBox, but I guess
I'll leave it for some other time. I removed the "virtualbox" USE flag.

Else try emerging virtualbox-ose or virtualbox-bin befire libvirt.


nothing's changed.

But this is probably a bug?


I believe so. emerge should never fail, in my opinion. if the ebuild lacks a
dependency, it should be pulled; if the code doesn't compile, use patches;
if it has more than one conflicting USE flags, warn the user and use a
default flag; anyway, it should never fail, specially like that.

:-)

this page lists the global USE flags and the local USE flags.

you can also read information about USE flags using the program "equery"
(which, by the way, is in the gentoolkit package :P):

$ equery u python

it lists the USE flags of that package with a description, and if you have
it enabled or not for that package.

if you want to go a bit further, you can read the ebuild file (
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-lang/python/python-2.6.2-r1.ebuild?view=markup)
and see what it does when the USE flag "threads" is enabled. the python
ebuild only passes that information to the Python configure script
(--with-threads), so you should read in Python documentation why threads
support is so important (or not).

Is this a good idea or bad idea to leave the "-threads" flag unset

according to the "Local USE flags" webpage:
python | threads: Enable threading support (DON'T DISABLE THIS UNLESS YOU
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING)

it's better to keep it enabled =)

see you,

[gentoo-user] comments on portage.keywords

[Crístian Viana]

hi,

I have a Gentoo amd64 and I noticed portage doesn't ignore comments totally
on the file /etc/portage/package.keywords (don't know about the other
portage config files). if I have the following line on portage.keywords:

www-client/mozilla-firefox

portage unmasks the Firefox ebuild for my architecture. but if I have:

www-client/mozilla-firefox # hello world

portage doesn't unmask this ebuild. if I want to put a comment at the end of
a line in this file [and I want that line to work], I have to explicitly add
the architecture flag:

www-client/mozilla-firefox ~amd64 # hello world

I don't think this behavior is consistent, comments shouldn't matter. is
that a desirable feature or a bug?

see ya,

Re: [gentoo-user] comments on portage.keywords

[Crístian Viana]

but in that case the "#" character is inside a string, so it wuldn't be
considered a comment. I was thinking like "//" in Java: it can be anywhere
in the line, but if it's inside a string it's not considered a comment
marker.

but thanks again for the information :)

Re: [gentoo-user] trouble installing compizconfig-backend-kconfig-0.8.2

compizconfig-backend-kconfig depends on KDE 3.5, not KDE 4.3. you can

[gentoo-user] license mask

[Crístian Viana]

hi!

when I try to update virtualbox-ose-additions, portage says:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy
"~app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions-3.0.8" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-additions-3.0.8 (masked by: PUEL license(s))
A copy of the 'PUEL' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/PUEL'.

it suggests me to read the Gentoo Handbook, but it isn't updated.

what should I do to unmask this package? I've never seen this kind of
masking.

thanks!

Re: [gentoo-user] depclean wants to remove xorg-server and xf86-video-intel

[Crístian Viana]

according to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml:

You could install the xorg-x11 metapackage instead of the more lightweight
xorg-server. Functionally, xorg-x11 and xorg-server are the same.
However, xorg-x11brings in many more packages that you probably don't need,
such as a huge assortment of fonts in many different languages. They're not
necessary for a working desktop.

I'm not sure, but probably yes. but it's better if you download the latest
ISO ;)

2) Is it *REALLY* necessary to download a 700 meg (*COMPRESSED*) full-

  blown system with pointy-clicky-touchie-feelie-oowee-GUI to do a

no. you can download the file "install--minimal-.iso" from one
of Gentoo mirrors. it's a little more than 100 MiB.

use unetbootin to "copy" the ISO to your USB key and boot your computer with
it. and follow the handbook as if you were installing Gentoo from the CD.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE apps, with minimal KDE install

you don't have to install full KDE. just emerge the packages you need, for
example:

emerge -av k3b gwenview

it'll bring only the dependencies the packages need, which is not the entire
KDE.

[gentoo-user] synchronize portage files in a LAN

[Crístian Viana]

hi,

I have 7 computers in local network and I want them to have always the same
portage files (the ones synchronized with rsync). of course I can use
crontab to make them sync at a specific time but I'm wondering if there's a
better alternative. I saw a wiki page which says to create one local rsync
server and have the other 6 computers synchronize with it (by pointing the
SYNC variable to the local rsync server). but I also thought NFS could be
nice: I just have to sync one machine and everyone will always be
"synchronized".

what's the best approach for this case?

thanks!

[gentoo-user] skip some package in glsa-check

[Crístian Viana]

hi,

I run "glsa-check -f affected" to update a Gentoo system, but there's one
specific package I can't update, because it's a C library someone is using
and the 'secure' version is causing segmentation fault on her program, so I
added it to packages.mask. but as I run glsa-check in a cron job, if there's
one package it can't emerge, it won't emerge the rest of them (if only I
could add "--keep-going").

does anyone have a solution to this? I want to keep running glsa-check to
update my system, but I don't want to update one specific package.

[gentoo-user] Kopete isn't storing my contact list changes

[Crístian Viana]

Hi!

I'm using kde-base/kopete-4.3.3 (which is Kopete 0.80.2) and it's not
storing anything I do to the next time I run the program. For example, I
merge some contacts into meta-contacts, associate some of them to a
KAddressBook entry, change my nickname (ok, that may be unrelated), but when
I restart Kopete it forgets about everything and I have to do it all over
again. My accounts' settings like username and password are persistent, but
my contact list changes are not.

Does anyone know what's going on? Would this be a Kopete bug or is something
specific to Gentoo?

Thanks!

[gentoo-user] run X.org inside VirtualBox

[Crístian Viana]

hi!

I'm running Gentoo inside VirtualBox (on a Windows host, if that matters)
and I can't make X.org work. when I try "X -configure" it says it can't load
the vboxvideo library. according to some Google searches, that library
really doesn't work with the newest X.org. if that's really true, is there
currently any combination of VirtualBox/X.org/Gentoo libraries to run X.org
inside VirtualBox?

I'm running ~x86, so now I have =x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.4,
=app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-3.1.0 (running at boot),
=x11-drivers/xf86-input-virtualbox-3.1.0 and
=x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox-3.1.0. when I run "X -configure", the
error log shows:

List of video drivers:

Re: [gentoo-user] Error during checking the platform pre-requisites of app-office/openoffice-3.1.1

shouldn't perl-core/Compress-Raw-Zlib be listed as a dependency on the

Re: [gentoo-user] run X.org inside VirtualBox

[Crístian Viana]

so you set VIDEO_CARDS="vesa"? just that? and INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard
mouse"? I'm using "virtualbox" on both variables and it's not working. I'll
try that as you said.

Re: [gentoo-user] simple Q on portage utilities

[Crístian Viana]

maybe this works:

equery -q d jpeg | sed -e "s/^/=/" | xargs emerge -j 4 -1

I don't know how do to that using only portage utilities, but sed and xargs
are always allowed, I guess :)

Re: [gentoo-user] MongoDB

[Crístian Viana]

you can follow this guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/userguide.xml

as you already have
layman, you can now add the sunrise overlay so you'll be able to merge all
the packages in there, like mongodb.

[gentoo-user] restrictive equery depends

[Crístian Viana]

hi,

is there any way I could search for packages that depend on a specific
ebuild version? for example, I want to find out what packages depend exactly
on virtual/jdk:1.5 (and not virtual/jdk:1.4 nor virtual/jdk-1.6). if I do
this search:

$ equery depends virtual/jdk:1.5

it will show me all packages that virtual/jdk:1.5 satisfies, but I need the
packages that depend only on that version (or slot, in this case).

this would be useful because I may have both versions of Java installed, but
I just want to have the latest version (1.6), so I need to find out what
packages are pulling the older version.

thanks,

[gentoo-user] remove unneeded package.keywords entries

[Crístian Viana]

hi,

I'd like to remove unneeded entries on package.keywords and I was wondering
if there's some program to do that (or if it's a good idea for me to try to
do it :) ). for example, I may have:

=www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.6

but later (hopefully) this package will be unmasked and that entry becomes
totally useless. and I may also unmask an ebuild without a version, and some
time later this ebuild will have no keyworded version, so that
package.keywords entry will be useless too.

see you,

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Xorg dropping keyboard events

[Crístian Viana]

once I had a problem like this, and I solved it by adding the following
section to xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
   Option "AllowEmptyInput""false"
EndSection

it happened earlier this year when I upgraded x11-base/xorg-x11.

Re: [gentoo-user] flags on a minimalist server

[Crístian Viana]

hi James,

you have gentoolkit-0.2.4.5 and it needs python compiled with the "xml" USE
flag. it has to be that way, according to the ebuild. you can add "xml" do
the "USE" line on /etc/make.conf (if you want XML support to all ebuilds
that need it) or add a specific line on /etc/portage/packages.use (if you
want XML support only to python).

the syntax "python[xml]" means the ebuild "python" with the "xml" USE flag
active.
