Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with python-updater ?
I would look at python 3 - I couldn't emerge until only 2.6 was active. I don't know how but on the new machine I set up, python3 was selected as active, I set it back to 2.6 and everything was fine. From the output I can see there is a version of python 3 active. Maybe a red herring, if so, I apologies :) When I had the problem I went on irc and it was suggested that I do a revdep-rebuild which I did also.

Re: [gentoo-user] What is with emerge after update world ?
eselect list is not correct.
Use: eselect *python *list (or whatever other app you wish to select a
specific version of)
Then:
eselect python set (with the number of the option you want which was
displayed from 'eselect python list').

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: encrypted email (gentoo-windows)
Hi - if you want to be able to send encrypted email from a linux machine that a person using a windows machine can de-crypt and read securely, the simplest way is to use the Gpg4win (for the windows machine) which incorporates Claws Mail (a port of a linux email client which is also available on Gentoo). Claws mail is in Portage. So at the simplest level, if you install the Claws email on your linux box, along with a pgp encryption tool (I think it's called Gpg, not 100% sure what the Portage package is, but any pgp encryption tool will probably work, it may already be built in to Claws), then advise your windows recipients to install Gpg4win (google it) which is a windows package which includes Claws mail, you will be able to exchange encrypted emails securely between linux and windows recipients. On the windows machine, the Gpg4win package will encrypt & decrypt email, you will only need to find a gpg related tool for the linux machine in order to encrypt your emails on it before sending them. I'm not really sure what gpg uses, it may well use pgp encryption which is standard and there will be a tool in Portage which can encrypt and decrypt email using pgp (or at least one to encrypt and decrypt any file which can then be forwarded by email). TBH - the encryption side of it is really OS independent, but using Gpg4win on windows and any linux email client which supports pgp encryption / signing should give you what you are looking for (Gpg=Gnu Privacy Guard). You will just need to double check that whatever you use on the linux side, is compatible with Gpg.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: python-2.7 update: re-emerge of cracklib failed, how can I fix it?
Hi - you don't give the name of the python version to eselect python set,
you give it the number of the option (usually 1 or 2) next to the version
you want, which you saw when running 'eselect python list'

Re: [gentoo-user] Updating world
You can allow it to install the masked packages by typing: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge --update --deep world (you can also use --keep-going, instead of --skip-first and it will try and continue when it finds errors). Actually, you can only use ~x86 if you are using an i686 or whatever (no good for amd or other arch's). Some correct me if I'm wrong, or have I misunderstood the problem?

You're right - could the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS be only used for the troublesome packages?

Re: [gentoo-user] Any bought a laptop that "Just Works"?
My Acer Aspire One worked with very few modifications. Picked up my wifi card and usb camera (the one in the lid is actually usb), sound card and intel graphics driver (though I haven't yet tried X, only framebuffer, but I get framebuffer in 1024 by 768 on it). Touchpad works fine with gpm mouse driver. Bit of a cheapo netbook but if flies under gentoo, while it was pretty slow under windows. dual core intel Atom. just out of curiosity I also tried the the pixielive cd which runs X for the intel gma graphics chip and is based on gentoo - it gave me full native res with little or now slowdown - I think it uses the poulsbo driver (or some similar name), overall, installing gentoo was painless - the worst experience I had was trying to map my windows key to CTRL-A for use in screen, still haven't managed it!

[gentoo-user] dcc - socket(UDP): Address family not supported by protocol
I keep getting this error whenever I invoke dcc. Now the current version is: 1.3.10 but this is not supported by Portage even when added to keyworks or unmasked, (if it was masked...:wink: ) The version listed with emerge is 1.2.74. Has anybody ever managed to get this to work properly or is there any alternative? I using Pyzor, Razor and SA, but something else would help. There was even some post about enabling various ports on my firewall to allow thru udp so that dcc could update traffic which I have done, but to no avail. In /etc/rc.conf. IP6 was enabled, but I corrected it. What should I restart to reflect this change? Will this help? Jules -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
