I want my old Myth theme back! [WAS Re: [gentoo-user] Re: No more mythtv for Gentoo users?]

2010-03-04 Thread Michael Sullivan
I upgraded to mythtv-0.22_p23069.  Went through the whole song-and-dance
of repairing the database for the utf8 to latin1 thing, and now it's
finally back up.  Except for one tiny problem.  My G.A.N.T. theme is
gone.  I can't even select it as a theme.  Is there some way to get it
back?  I liked the plain gray background, the fact that I could tell at
a glance what was recording and what I had manually set not to record.
And the fact that a generic episode was easily distinguished from a
specific episode (I usually manually set generic episodes not to record,
but now I have to take extra time to find each episode and check that
it's not generic.  :(  I'm also not happy that they changed the order of
options.

[gentoo-user] Need help discovering what's using a port (for cvsd)

2010-03-04 Thread Michael Sullivan
A few years ago I was working on a programming project.  I installed a
cvsd server on our server box and checked in/checked out the project
whenever I felt like working on it (it would have gotten majorly screwed
up if the only copy of the project lived on my personal workstation -
hence using cvsd).  Anyway, I got busy with other things and forgot
about that particular programming project.  At some point over the last
few years, cvsd got unmerged.  I remerged it today and have been trying
to get it to work.  I checked the repository directory and the files I
need are still there.  I can't get the server to start.  I tried
running /etc/init.d/cvsd start and it failed with the [!!] thing.  I
catted the script and saw that the executable for the cvsd server lives
at /usr/sbin/cvsd, so I tried calling it directly:
carter log # /usr/sbin/cvsd --debug
cvsd: debug: reading config file (/etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf)
cvsd: debug: done reading config file

carter log # netstat -anp | grep 2401
carter log # 

Nothing.  I hope I'm using the netstat command correctly.  I wrote in to
a linux list years ago asking how to find out which process is using a
port, and they said to grep `netstat -anp` for whatever port I was
looking for.  Anyway, when I ran netstat -anpv, I got some errors:

netstat: no support for `AF IPX' on this system.
netstat: no support for `AF AX25' on this system.
netstat: no support for `AF X25' on this system.
netstat: no support for `AF NETROM' on this system.


I assume these are kernel options, but without knowing specific symbol
names, I'm not sure how to compile them into the kernel.  Can anyone
give me any advice on this situation?

Now I've got the server running, but I can't connect to it:

mich...@camille ~ $ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:mich...@carter.espersunited.com:2401/root
CVS password: 
cvs [login aborted]: connect to

My .cvspass looks kinda weird too:

Is this right?

I am trying to offload pictures from our digital camera (Kodeak

[gentoo-user] Need help with samba (Possibly OT)

2010-06-14 Thread Michael Sullivan
My personal workstation is a dual-boot setup with Gentoo and Windows XP.
A long time ago, I set up Samba on another computer on my network to
provide extra hard drive space to our Windows installations.  They used
to work, but we haven't used them in some time.  I tried to use it today
and it didn't work.  When I try to connect to the samba share from my
linux install, I get this:

mich...@camille ~ $ smbclient //carter//home
Enter michael's password: 
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.6]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME
mich...@camille ~ $ smbclient //carter//michael 
Enter michael's password: 
Domain=[MYGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.6]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME

(The host name is carter, and I didn't understand what the second part
should be.)
Also, I didn't know if "michael's password" meant my password on my
local box, my password on the remote box, or some password I set up for
Samba forever ago...

Here's my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

carter samba # cat smb.conf
[global]
   workgroup = MYGROUP
   server string = Samba Server %v
   printcap name = cups
   load printers = yes
   printing = cups
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   max log size = 50
   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
   map to guest = bad user
   security = user
   encrypt passwords = yes
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
   dns proxy = no

   writable = yes

   comment = Temporary file space
   path = /samba
   read only = no
   public = yes
   valid users = michael amy

I'm sure I've screwed something up somewhere, I'm just not sure what it
is.

I bought a brand new Linksys Wireless-N router a few months ago.  I
configure it to start addresses after 192.168.1.1 because that's what
we've always used, it's what all the computers on our LAN are set up
for, and I see no reason to change it.

What's with the :192.168.1.3?  Camille's address IS 192.168.1.3, and
it seems to know that because it calls the host at the address
'camille'...

This line in the config file:

Listen 127.0.0.1  2401

needed to be changed to this:
Listen 192.168.1.2 2401

And now it works





[gentoo-user] Samba freakiness; why isn't it reading MY /etc/samba/smb.conf file?

I just rebooted the computer to make sure this wasn't some weird RAM
remnant, but the computer booted up:

At the top there you see that Samba IS started.  Under that you see MY
smb.conf, and at the bottom you see the smb.conf that's being loaded.
Nothing really in the logs that would suggest what's going on here:

[gentoo-user] distcc: Am I doing this right

I think I've set up distcc correctly, but I keep seeing a whole bunch of
messages like this:
distcc[24416] (dcc_writex) ERROR: failed to write: Connection reset by
peer

Is this normal?  Is there anything I can do to prevent this from
happening?

I read the guide when I first set up distcc, but it didn't provide
enough detail for me to understand.  I have two computers, a slow one
and a fast one.  I would like the fast one to assist the slow one.  The
fast machine's IP is 192.168.1.2, and the slow is 192.168.1.4.  On the
fast one, I'm running /etc/init.d/distccd and it's /etc/conf.d/distccd
looks like this:

carter ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/distccd 
# /etc/conf.d/distccd: config file for /etc/init.d/distccd

DISTCCD_OPTS=""

# this is the distccd executable 
DISTCCD_EXEC="/usr/bin/distccd"

# this is where distccd will store its pid file
DISTCCD_PIDFILE="/var/run/distccd/distccd.pid"

# set this option to run distccd with extra parameters
# Default port is 3632.  For most people the default is okay.
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --port 3632"

# Logging
# You can change some logging options here:
# --log-file FILE
# --log-level LEVEL  [critical,error,warning, notice, info, debug]
#
# Leaving --log-file blank will log to syslog
# example: --log-file /dev/null --log-level warning
# example: --log-level critical

DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --log-level critical"

# SECURITY NOTICE:
# It is HIGHLY recomended that you use the --listen option
# for increased security. You can specify an IP to permit connections 
# from or a CIDR mask
# --listen accepts only a single IP
# --allow is now mandatory as of distcc-2.18.
# example:  --allow 192.168.0.0/24
# example:  --allow 192.168.0.5 --allow 192.168.0.150
# example:  --listen 192.168.0.2
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --allow 192.168.1.0/24"
#DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --listen 192.168.0.2"

# set this for niceness
# Default is 15
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} -N 15"


There's no firewall on either.

The slow machine is also running /etc/init.d/distccd.
It's /etc/conf.d/distccd looks like this:

catherine ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/distccd
# /etc/conf.d/distccd: config file for /etc/init.d/distccd

DISTCCD_OPTS=""

# this is the distccd executable 
DISTCCD_EXEC="/usr/bin/distccd"

# this is where distccd will store its pid file
DISTCCD_PIDFILE="/var/run/distccd/distccd.pid"

# set this option to run distccd with extra parameters
# Default port is 3632.  For most people the default is okay.
DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --port 3632"

# example: --log-level critical

DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --log-level info
--log-file /var/log/distccd"

# SECURITY NOTICE:

#DISTCCD_OPTS="${DISTCCD_OPTS} --listen 192.168.0.2"

# set this for niceness

DISTCCD_NICE="15"

The problem is this:  The machine only has one hard drive, and
frequently we have to reboot it because the hard drive gets locked up

[gentoo-user] GCC gone bad! Help!

I've started seeing this line after failed emerges: 



checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C

Checking gcc-config returns this:
carter sys-devel # gcc-config -l

How can I get gcc back?  Here's some other information on the system:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.63.  Invocation command line was

[gentoo-user] udev (probably)

2009-11-23 Thread Michael Sullivan
I've been working all day rearranging furniture in my apartment.  I got
the my computer to its new spot and hooked everything up and booted and
I saw a message that said something about some kernel option that was
turned on that shouldn't be, and that udev might not work.  When I got
logged in, I found that Mythtv was all screwed up and that it said I
didn't have any programs set to record.  LiveTV didn't work at all.  My
tv card (dev/video0); ls says it's there, but cat says it's not.  When I
used /etc/init.d/udev I got a message saying that the udev initscript
only works with baselayout 2 and that I shouldn't use it with baselayout
1.  I didn't even know I was using baselayout 1!  Anyway, is there a
way, after I've booted the computer, to access those messages shown at
startup?

I found it in /var/log/messages.  It said:

Nov 23 15:37:07 camille kernel: udev: missing sysfs features; please
update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
option; udev may fail to work correctly
Nov 23 15:00:01 camille sudo:  michael : TTY=pts/4 ; PWD=/home/michael ;
USER=root ; COMMAND=/etc/init.d/udev restart

I'm rebuilding the kernel with that option disabled, but in the meantime
why did Mythtv forget my programs set to record?  I checked that mysql
is running, and it is, I checked mythbacked.  The only discrepancy I can
find is the existence of /dev/video0...

OK here goes.  I built the new kernel because with the old one /dev/sda
didn't seem to exist when I know it should.  And besides, there was a
newer kernel marked as stable and aren't we always supposed to use the
newest stable kernel for security reasons, unless there's something that
we need done that the new kernel doesn't do?

I rebooted the machine with the drive unplugged and ran dmesg:

I guess I should have checked before I sent that last post because
now /dev/sda is there.  Now, how do I make it be there when I first boot
into Linux?

[gentoo-user] sys-power/powermgmt-base blocks sys-power/pm-utils, but it's not installed yet

2010-01-06 Thread Michael Sullivan
I was hoping that this was a dev boo-boo and would work itself out in
time, but it's been several days and it hasn't, so the problem must be
on my end.  See the following listing:

[blocks B ] sys-power/powermgmt-base ("sys-power/powermgmt-base" is
blocking sys-power/pm-utils-1.2.5)

As you can see powermgmt-base is on the emerge list, as is pm-utils.  I
installed kde-meta because my mother-in-law is visiting and she likes
kpatience and it didn't work anymore with kde-3.5.  Now, how do I
resolve this block?

I changed USE in /etc/make.conf to -apm and did an emerge -ND world and
the block is resolved.  I think the apm flag got added to solve an X

is rebooted...




[gentoo-user] My PHP support is gone!

2005-05-23 Thread Michael Sullivan
Last night we had a power blink here (basically the power goes off just
long enough to disrupt all devices plugged into AC and then comes back
on again.)  When my server box finished rebooting I was checking the
most popular services it offers (mail and web hosting) and I noticed
that squirrelmail and all other pages that use PHP were not working
correctly.  I've tried everything I can think of; I restored a complete
backup of /etc made yesterday, I re-emerged mod_php.  The installation
instructions didn't look very much like my previous installation
(especially in /etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf) yet the previous
installation worked fine until yesterday.  In the INSTALL file for
mod_php-4.3.11 it said to add a LoadModule php4_module to my
apache2.conf file (there was no reference to php at all in apache2.conf
- still trying to figure that one out) and then to add an AddModule
statement, which there was were no occurrences of AddModule in
apache2.conf either.  I'm very confused.  Can anyone help me?

[gentoo-user] OT - Need help setting up Gentoo to access digital camera

2005-05-28 Thread Michael Sullivan
I have an Argus DC1730 USB digital still camera.  I want to be able to
use it in Gentoo.  I found a website
(http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html) that said that the
driver I would need is gphoto2/sq905.  I emerged gphoto2 and I think I
have the driver now.  The website said that I would now have to mount
the camera and gave a link to the Linux USB sub-system documentation,
the Mass Storage Devices page.  I read over it, but it made no sense to
me.  I've never really worked with hardware devices before. Can anyone
walk me through mounting my camera?  The Linux USB page said that I
should now be able to see information about my camera
in /proc/scsi/scsi, but the file command claims that it's an empty file.
When I cat it, I get this:

baby scsi # cat scsi
Attached devices:

I'm not even sure if the camera driver is loaded or not.  I am using
genkernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r5 if that matters...

I looked through the output of dmesg but didn't see any references to a
digital camera.  I'm not even sure the driver is loaded.  How do I load
the driver?  It's located at:

/usr/lib/gphoto2/2.1.4/libgphoto2_sq905.so
/usr/lib/gphoto2/2.1.4/libgphoto2_sq905.la

I looked at the man page for gphoto2 and it said that I could try
--auto-detect the camera.  I tried it:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] michael $ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model  Port

Other than that, the man page didn't make much sense to me.  Is there

I know the driver that I need for my camera exists on the hard drive.
gphoto2 claims that the camera does not exist and I can't figure out how
to load the driver manually.  I use GNOME.

While we're on the subject I was wondering this:  I am a moderator for
several Yahoo groups.  When a membership/moderation request comes in if
I want to approve it I just have to reply to the email, and if I wish to
reject the request I forward it to another address.  Is there a way to
do this with mailman?

[gentoo-user] svgalib: Cannot open /dev/svga Is svgalib_helper module loaded?

2005-06-03 Thread Michael Sullivan
I found a tutorial for svgalib this morning.  I've always been
fascinated by graphics programming, but never found a tutorial that was
simple enough for me to follow in the beginning.  I liked this tutorial.
It provided source code for a simple c program that just plots a pixel
to the screen.  I copied the code into a file and compiled it.  It all
compiled fine.  When I tried to run the program, I got this:

[gentoo-user] Question about Apache, PHP and where execution actually takes place

2005-06-08 Thread Michael Sullivan
I have my server box (bullet) and my client box (baby).  My wife and I
take a lot of digital photos of our cats and post them on our website
for friends and family to see.  The page consists of sets of 100x100
photographs that can be enlarged if they are clicked on.  I was using a
VB6.0 program that I wrote to generate the page, but since Windows ME is
becoming rather clunky and I'd rather use Linux to do everything I
thought I'd try translating my program into PHP.

Each time I offload photos from my camera I create a directory for those
photos and name it the date I offloaded them in mmddyy format.  I then
create a list of files in that directory (ex, if I offloaded pix today I
would have called the directory 060805 and the list list060805.txt.
There is also a file called list.txt that contains each of the list
filenames on its own line.  My VB program (and now my PHP script) opens
list.txt and reads in a list filename and passes it to a subroutine
which in turn opens the list filename and formats an HTML page with the
100x100 photos organized into tables by date.  It then returns this page
to the web browser requesting it.

This php script is on bullet in the directory where the lists are.  In
theory it should work.  The first time I used mozilla on baby to go
bullet (192.168.1.2:/members/michael/camera/picindex.php) my hard drive
started going crazy.  On this computer if the hard drive is busy nothing
will work.  I had to manually poweroff the computer and restart.  I
logged back in and tried it again, thinking that the first time
something else was going on with baby.  The same thing happened and I
had to manually power down and restart.  After I restarted again and
logged back in I opened gnome-system-monitor and asked to see the Active
Process report.  Everything looked good.  I opened mozilla to my new php
script and watched as mozilla swelled up to take 623.3MB of RAM.  This
computer only has 256MB RAM with 512MB swap space.  My question is this:
If PHP is a server side scripting language, then why is mozilla
requiring so much of my RAM memory and hard drive?  Shouldn't all the
work of generating the page be being done on bullet???

[gentoo-user] Can't su - to root, etc

2005-06-10 Thread Michael Sullivan
My network updates its software every night at midnight.  There was a
problem with a couple of blocking packages night before last, so I
unmerged the two blocking packages and did the emerge -avuD world in a
screen.  Now they're done and I can no longer su - to root from my
personal account.  I have to log completely out and then log in as root
from the login screen.  I use users-admin for my user maintenance, but
now there's a tab that says "User Privileges" where the "User's Groups"
tab used to be, so I can't figure out how to make sure that my personal
account is in the right group(s) to su - to root.  A lot of things are
different now.  I keep a gnome-terminal open at all times and it the
prompt now shows "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $" when I'm in my home directory
instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED] michael $" which I preferred.  I could su - to
root yesterday while the upgrades were taking place and root's prompt
was the same.  And then my Inbox Monitor applet is gone, so I have to
click on the running evolution button every time I want to see if I have
any email (which is quite often actually).  Is there any way I can fix
all this, or at least get my su - privileges back?

[gentoo-user] music.raw?

2005-06-11 Thread Michael Sullivan
There is a file that keeps mysteriously appearing in my home folder
called music.raw.  I have no idea where it's coming from.  I'm not doing
anything with my computer that I don't normally do.  This has just
started since the recent gnome upgrade.  It always has a size of 0
bytes, so I don't see what the point of it is.  Does anyone know what
this file is and/or how to keep it from coming back?

I've discovered that whenever I run monsterz the file is created.  I
don't know why.  monsterz is a python script, so I opened it up in vi
and searched for the string "music.raw" but did not find it
in /usr/games/monsterz.  Maybe something the pygame module or python
itself, but I don't know how to check for that...

I restored a backup archive I had of my personal account made two days
ago and logged in as michael to xdm.  It put me in gnome.  I'm not sure
why.  I checked for /home/michael/.xinitrc and it doesn't exist.
However, when I log in as root it still puts me in twm.  Any thoughts on
this one?

[gentoo-user] No Sound!!!

2005-06-28 Thread Michael Sullivan
I'm still working to get my recently reinstalled Gentoo system up to its
former glory.  I cannot get my sound to work though.  I'm following (or
rather trying to) the Gentoo Alsa Guide
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml) .  It says to run lspci to
find out what sound card I'm using:

baby ~ # lspci -v | grep -i audio
:00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq 5880 AudioPCI (rev 04)


I looked at the Alsa Matrix and the only entry it has for Ensoniq is
ens1371 (which, according to my backups is what I was using before and
it worked fine then).  I'm using a genkernel, 2.6 kernel, so I assume
that ALSA is compiled into it already.  However, when I run alsaconf it
finds no cards whatsoever.  This all worked before I reinstalled Gentoo
and although I have a complete backup of my /etc directory before the
reinstall I hesitate to use it (bad experiences in the past) and prefer
to use it instead as a guide.  What am I doing wrong?

You might already know this and have thought a way around it, but in my

[gentoo-user] ~/.bash_profile not being sourced

2005-07-03 Thread Michael Sullivan
I have three applications that open for when I log into gnome:
evolution, nautilus and gnome-terminal.  I use gnome-terminal a lot.  In
my ~/.bash_profile I have "alias ls="ls --color" (It's what I got used
to using Red Hat before I moved to Gentoo.)  I usually open two or three
tabs in the terminal while I'm working on stuff.  I don't think my
~/.bash_profile is being loaded because I always have to source it to
get my colored ls listings.  I think ~/.bashrc is being loaded because
I've customized my environment variables (CPATH and CLASSPATH) and
they're being loaded because I can echo them in the terminal.  I tried
adding "source ~/.bash_profile" to the end of ~/.bashrc and opening a
new tab and the new tab opens but I never get a prompt in that tab.
Have I messed something up somewhere?  Why isn't my ~/.bash_profile
working?

[gentoo-user] .MID plugin for mozilla

2005-07-04 Thread Michael Sullivan
I can't seem to get my mozilla to play MIDI files embedded in web pages.
I don't understand why.  Before my reinstall (about a week ago) mozilla
knew how to play .mid files.  Now it doesn't.  I have a sound card with
hardware MIDI support and support for it is compiled into the kernel I'm
running, but every time I go to a site that I know has background music
the sound card is silent.  WAV files play just fine.  Any hints?

Re: [gentoo-user] .MID plugin for mozilla

2005-07-05 Thread Michael Sullivan
I saved the .mid file to my hard drive and tried to open it with
mozilla.  It gave me a dialog with this information:  

The file "#3" is of type "#2" (#1) and #4 does not know how to handle
this file
type.  This file is located at:

What should Mozilla do with this file?

Open it with the default application
Open it with
Save it to disk

I don't think this is normal.  When I select the default application
option I get a message that says "/home/michael/FF6opera.mid could not
be opened, because the associated helper
application does not exist.  Change the association in your
preferences.  

The trouble is that I've never used a helper application to play .mid
files - I've always used mozilla...

[gentoo-user] OT -Dumb Terminal and Bonus Question

2005-07-10 Thread Michael Sullivan
On my network there are two machines:  baby and blossom.  baby has a 900
megahertz processor with 256MB RAM.  blossom has a 200 megahertz
processor with 128 RAM.  Right now baby has Gentoo 2005.0 and blossom is
running Red Hat 9.  I would like to set up something where my wife can
log in on blossom (it's my wife's computer) and it connects blossom to
baby (via the network)  I want blossom to act as a dumb terminal, with
all requests made on blossom going to baby.  My wife prefers GNOME, but
it runs so slow on blossom (that's why she wanted RH9)  I'm pretty sure
there's a way to do this, but I don't know how to start.  I know I could
use Google, but I don't know how to phrase my query.  I know that all
this could be accomplished with ssh, but is there a simpler way?


Bonus question:

blossom has a TV card.  I'd like to know (if it's possible) how to
access blossom's TV card from baby.   If it matters here's the output
from running lspci on blossom.

[gentoo-user] mplayer is blue!

2005-07-10 Thread Michael Sullivan
My gmplayer screen (using the X11/Xv video driver (which is the only
driver that provides adequate full-screen performance)) is showing blue.
The movie's sound comes through, but no picture - just that blue screen.
I seem to remember someone had this same problem several months ago, but
I cannot seem to find the thread in the archives at gmane.org.  Can

It seems to be working.  I changed blossom's default runlevel
in /etc/inittab from 5 (X11) to 3 (full multiuser text-only) and added
"X -query baby" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and restarted.  I see baby's login
screen on blossom's monitor.  I logged in and opened mozilla.  baby's
hard drive started clicking so I could tell that all the work was being
done on baby, but when I went to a website that had music it played
through baby's speakers.  blossom has her own sound card and speakers.
Is there any way I could get blossom to use her own speakers?  I noticed
a flag for ltsp called audiofile that was not selected.  Would adding
audiofile to my USE settings do the trick?  I can't seem to remember the
file that has the descriptions of different USE settings...

Here's the problem:  There is a sound card on baby.  When someone logs
in locally on baby I want baby's sound card and speakers to be used, but
when someone logs in remotely from blossom I want blossom's sound card
and speakers to be used...

[gentoo-user] OT - aisleriot is gone!

2005-07-22 Thread Michael Sullivan
My wife was asking me last night about aisleriot.  I
looked on my games menu and did not see it there.  I
have gnome-games-2.10.0 - the docs in
/usr/share/doc/gnome-games-2.10.0 say that aisleriot
should be available.  The README file in
/usr/share/doc/gnome-games-2.10.0 listed the filename
as "sol" and I tried "locate"ing some of the other
games included in the gnome-games package.  They were
in /usr/bin, but "sol" was not there.  Any advice on
this?  I even re-emerged the gnome-games package last
night with no luck...

[gentoo-user] OT - Installing VMWare eval - Where are the rc0 directories?

2008-01-25 Thread Michael Sullivan
I'm trying to install the evaluation copy of vmware workstation 6 and
the installer is asking me:

What is the directory that contains the init directories (rc0.d/ to 
rc6.d/)? 

What's the answer to this?  AFAIK, these directories do not exist on
Gentoo.  What should I do?  Do I need to create symlinks to somewhere
in /etc?  Please advise...

I fixed it.  Somehow some permissions on some directories on /tmp got
changed.  I changed them back, and it seems to be back to normal now...

[gentoo-user] Can't use gnome!

2008-01-25 Thread Michael Sullivan
I rebooted into Linux a couple of days ago and tried to log into gnome,
and a whole bunch of error messages popped up.  They all said basically
this:

There was an error loading config from /apps/gnome-terminal/global.
(Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you
need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks
due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for
information. (Details -  1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-michael/lock/ior' not
opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory 2: IOR
file '/tmp/gconfd-michael/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no gconfd
located: No such file or directory))

I'm typing this from KDE.  I really hate KDE - it's way too flashy, so I'd
like to get back to gnome as soon as possible.  Over the past two days
I've done an emerge -e gnome and rebooted the computer and tried to log in
to gnome, and it still doesn't work.  The file
'/tmp/gconfd-michael/lock/ior' is simply not being created.  I did a ps ax
| grep gconf and it returned nothing except the ps request.  Here's my

I emerged vmware-workstation and followed the gentoo wiki guide to set
it up.  I added the michael user to the vmware group, and then logged
out and logged back in.  When I try to run vmware, it gives me an error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ vmware
/opt/vmware/workstation/lib/bin/vmware: symbol lookup
error: /opt/vmware/workstation/lib/lib/libvmwareui.so.0/libvmwareui.so.0: 
undefined symbol: _ZThn12_N4view10FieldEntry17delete_text_vfuncEii

Should I submit this as a bug, or is it something I can fix myself, and
if so, how?

I saw this in the wiki, so I issued it:

export VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK='yes'

And now the error is slightly different:

Hos anyone been able to get 6.0.2 to work?  I tried to evaluate it, but
everything crashes when I try to enter the serial number.  There's an
outstanding bug at b.g.o and I filed a support request about a week ago
with VMWare, but they haven't touched it yet...

I did try  VirtualBox, but my network games don't work (like
Civilization II - my wife running Win98 can't connect to me) and

I have gaim installed, and I use it every day, but I haven't seen any

I have no sound in mythfrontend anymore.  Here's the emerge information:

camille ~ # emerge -pv mythtv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-tv/mythtv-0.20.2_p14972  USE="alsa dvb dvd ivtv
jack joystick lirc mmx opengl perl vorbis (-altivec) -autostart
-backendonly -crciprec -dbox2 -debug -directv -dts -freebox
-frontendonly -hdhomerun -ieee1394 -lcd -xvmc" VIDEO_CARDS="i810 via
-nvidia" 0 kB 

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

I think it might have something to do with OSS, but I don't know what to
do about that because it's gone from my gnome volume control.  Sound in
audacious and pidgin still works though.  What should I do?

I just ran mythfrontend in a terminal and looked at the output.  I saw a
lot of this line:

/dev/dsp: No such file or directory

If /dev/dsp doesn't exist, then how is everything else using sound?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls /dev/adsp
ls: cannot access /dev/adsp: No such file or directory

How do I get the OSS modules?  Do I have to compile them into the
kernel?  I have the oss use flag set.  BTW I'm using 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ uname -a

If I put -oss in /etc/make.conf and emerge -ND world, would it
theoretically fix this problem?
