LVM would indeed be a solution. Instead of creating many disk partitions, you would simply create one large one the size of the disk. Then using LVM create as many virtual partitions as you need (I forget the correct LVM terminology, I believe it's logical volumes). There are many howto's out there on setting up LVM and explaining what it does, I would suggest having a look at that. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD7ZynQv6DFiTKHhkRAiwoAJ98PVJprssDCFsrSnum+QGtlhOslgCffC8p FeOULJkkA8MdhB17E8kI8X8= =M7NT -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Weird, it's not listed in the ebuild. Oh, I found it, it was added in one of the inherited eclasses. :/ You can use /etc/portage/package.provided (IIRC) to tell gentoo you will provide this package, rather than have portage install it. You may need to specify the virtual package (virtual/linux-sources) and not the actual package portage is trying to use, but I'm not sure... > There is a note in the gnupg ebuild that points to a bug talking about > the need for (or not) kernel sources.

At any rate, it doesn't make sense (to me) for gnupg to > require kernel sources to build or install. Well, I /sort of/ understand what is going on in the mind of the ebuild maintainer. The suid bit is only required for kernel versions less than 2.6.9, and the maintainer wants to avoid (for security reasons, I suppose) setting the suid bit for kernels at or above this version. Now, instead of using parsing uname and and getting the version of the *running* kernel, the ebuild checks files in the current /usr/src/linux directory/symlink to determine what version to build against. Either approach seems acceptable, but flawed in some way. Using /usr/src/linux causes problems for you and may yield a gnupg that doesn't work (or at least, doesn't get the protected memory features) in the running kernel; using uname may be a security risk (to what degree is a matter of opinion) if you're in a chroot or otherwise preparing a gentoo system but not running within it. Of course, this means that the package.provided method probably won't work since it won't actually provide a /usr/src/linux directory/symlink with the right files. :/ It only seems to affect the suid bit, and gnupg is one of those applications that you can probably trust with suid permissions anyway -- if it were my ebuild, I probably would have just set the suid bit and not checked the kernel version at all, but maybe that's why I'm not an ebuild maintainer. There is a bugfix for 113474 in my version (--sync'd today) that says it removes the requirement for a compiled kernel, but I don't see it removing the dependency so I'd wager that bug might not actually be fixed. :P It might allow you to use the package.provided technique though. Rechecking the eclass makes me fairly sure you can use package.provided, but that could cause problems down the road -- nevertheless I'd try it if I were you. If package.provides doesn't work, I think your best bet at this point might actually be getting hold of the ebuild maintainer or another gentoo dev and trying to convince them to drop the dependency. That may not be the easiest task though, since the DEPEND is needed, at least the way I read the ebuild. You can also use an overlay with the "extra" dependency factored out in the meantime.

Re: [gentoo-user] Weird USE flag behaviour
This is a well-documented change in portage. The use.defaults file is no longer used. Previously, this file would turn on use flags that were neither enabled nor disabled based on packages you had installed. This was a bad idea to begin with, IMHO; RIP use.defaults. Why a bad idea? I find it made things easier. If you install SANE for example it is almost obvious you have installed a scanner and you probably need the "scanner" use flag. So use.defaults did. Of course you can disable it if you don't appear to like it. use.defaults appeared to me like healthy, rational behaviour and an help for the end user.

To much magic that was poorly understood by users and caused use flags to "inexplicably" change state. (It might turn off flags when packages were removed e.g.) Plus, it's more "the gentoo way" to not make decisions for the user -- an einfo at the end of the emerge would probably be more in line with that philosophy.

USE flags is optional stuff and should stay that way, rather than portage trying to force an option down my throat. I first experienced this thing when I installed MySQL to use with amaroK. Ok I want it to manage my >20K files music collection but thats it!!! I don't want lots of other packages to think that I want MySQL support in them as well. If I want it, I would enable it. Why should portage enable this USE flag in all of the packages and force me to disable it? Similar is with JDK. If I am installing JDK to compile my occasional JAVA programs then why enable it for GCC, DB, OpenOffice and what not. It was an irritating thing imho. If portage thinks that an option is vital for a package's functioning then it should not be a USE flag and if it is a USE flag then it should *allow me* to decide whether I want to *enable* it or not. -- Regards, Abhay pgp67eXWBOMzh.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] Stuch on k3b at dep install of Transcode
I'm trying to install k3b. One of its dependancies is transcode. The emerge stopped at transcode with specific errors, When checking bugzilla I see this is a known problem. I'm not sure how to proceed from here. For example: If I have emerge install a version that doesn't appear in the bug reports (several versions back) how would that effect the install of k3b. Wouldn't it still want to install the problem version? Can I do something in /etc/portage/package.provided that will allow the old build to stand? I'm familiar with how it works on backages that are a version or two ahead. But somewhere, when I read up on package.provided it said this would work as long as the package listed there was a newer version. I currently have: cat /etc/portage/package.provided rsnapshot-1.2.2 bacula-1.48.5 In both cases those are newer than anything in portage (even masked). I'd rather not build transcode by hand because the emerge of k3b showed a complicated string of deps and it seems like I could get in a pretty good mess going outside of portage for some pieces of it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Stuch on k3b at dep install of Transcode
I had a similar problem some months ago. I can't remember all the details, but i think it had to do something with avi. I changed the useflags of transcode until the emerge of the latest version finished without any error. Try to unmask the latest version of transcode and emerge it.

AFAIK, k3b needs transcode only for recording a DVD to harddisk (in AVI format?). It then allows to write the result to another DVD. If you don't intend to use that feature but use k3b only for burning and copying CDs and DVDs, you don't need transcode. So I guess there is a USE flag like "-transcode" or somesuch to build it without that feature. Just poke around in the USE flag definitions.

[gentoo-user] udev / sound
Hi folks, I did an update world last night with a --sync that was a couple of days old because it took me several nights to get all the stuff (deltup didn't have most of the diffs, so I had to download the whole tarballs). After emerging, compiling, installing all of it, I did an etc-update. Among other things, I merged the new udev rules and rebooted to get them into effect. Sound is gone. Artsd complains that there is no /dev/dsp - and rightly so. All sound-related devices under /dev are gone.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, This time I'm not writing to the list because I have a trouble, or because I've some questions that need to be answered. This time, I do write simply because I want to THANK all people that makes possible a system like Gentoo GNU/Linux, that brings their effort and free time to make us equally (in rights). There have past time since I defend GPL and CC licences. Why can I have access to a book that costs 80 dollars and someone that hasn't got that money can't have access to it? I think that knowledge is something that everybody should have free access to. Is a good (and a right) that should be expanded, and nothing best than this kind of licenses. This is good for everybody. Time agreed with us (with those that defended free knowledge). Privative software is not safer because of hidden source code [it has been tested experimentally xD]. It has been possible to develop apps like Samba or Wine, without knowing any Windows source code, only testing and "hearing", this is a point for free minds. So I want to thank all the people that takes a minute helping others with their knowledge, doesn't matter how much it is. I want to thank all developers that takes care of their packages, and making them as good as we have installed right now (excellent quality). And I'd like to thank master Robbins his idea of a particular system like Gentoo. I'd like to say something that is like a "feeling", I don't know if you'll agree with me. This happens me with Gentoo and LFS (Linux from scratch). Why Gentoo and not Debian or other distro? Because for me is like going to a restaurant, and they serve wine on your table, opening it in front of you. Is a matter of education. I prefer my system to download source code, apply patches (with diretives that I can control, and no one more), and make for me the app. For me a binary packages system is like if in the restaurant they open the wine bottle in the kitchen, instead of in front of you.

My introduction to this behaviour occured when the developers, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make ipv6 a default flag. The extra bloat was bad enough. And then some network/web apps would spin their wheels for 60 seconds or so, waiting for an IPV6 lookup to time out, before finally deciding that maybe they should try IPV4 lookups instead. To prevent such surprises in future, I now put "-*" at the front of my USE variable in /etc/make.conf, like so..

Anyone have a clue why the old versions weren't removed? Is it safe to simply delete them? And why is kdm loading 3.3 instead of 3.5? (I've run etc-update to ensure that no config file updates are outstanding.) Is this possibly a path issue? If 3.3 is in the path instead of or before 3.5 in the environment that kdm runs under, 3.3 would probably load instead of 3.5.

OK, just grepped etc for /kde/3.3 and found that 3.3 is added to the path in /etc/profile.env. The warning in that file lead me to man env-update, which pointed me to the /etc/env.d directory. There is a file in there called 47kdepaths-3.3.1, which is apparently the offending party. Is it safe to simply delete the file? More importantly, why is it still there after I unmerged kde 3.3? And is this what is causing kdm to load 3.3? The 3.5 version of the kdepaths file in /etc/env.d is prefixed with 45. I assume that the files are processed from the lowest to the highest, in which case 3.5 should be in the path before 3.3, no matter which user is running. 3.5 appears first in the line in /etc/profile.env. Looking back over this message, I see that equery told me that kde-base/kde-env-3-r4 (0) was loaded. Is this the correct version? Is there a 3.5 version that's still masked or something?

Re: [gentoo-user] Weird USE flag behaviour
Hi list. I have a problem and maybe it is simple to use. But consider I am a Debian renegade, searching for protection under Gentoo Roof ... :) I have the following Disc Configuration: /dev/hda = CDROM /dev/hdb = Hard Disk After hours of pain, I decided to start gentoo all in memory, using "gentoo docache" string at minimun CD start. After that, all the steps went fine. Following Gentoo handbook, I did the following: /dev/hdb1 -> /boot /dev/hdb2 -> swap /dev/hdb3 -> / During the start of installation, I did as recommended in handbook: /mnt/gentoo -> / /mnt/gentoo/boot -> /boot Then, kindly selected GRUB, and did this simple /boot/grub.conf file: default 0 timeout 0 splashimage=(dhb0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Gentoo Linux 2.6.12.gentoo-r10 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/2.6.12-gentoo-r10 root=/dev/hdb3 After this, I tried to exec grub-install (hd0) And a message points that "/dev/hdb1 doe not have any corresponding BIOS drive". So I did it by GRUB itself. Now, I start the computer, and receive the following messages: GRUB Loading stage1.5 -> here I wait several minutes, and the HD is working GRUB loading, please wait -> here I wait much more. As I see, I am having troubles with GRUB itself, not Gentoo. Can Somebody show me what could be done ? Thanx Gilberto Martins Brazil -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi Ian,
I'm just getting this:
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
Running that command doesn't make the LEDs on my wireless card blink
at all. Usually when they blink out of sync it is searching and when
they blink together I'm connected. Using iwconfig via
/etc/init.d/net.ath0 does make them blink together like it's
connected, but then they stop and I get the failed message.
Any ideas? I'll try anything.

I don't have the KDM login window in front of me, but you should find the pull down options button or something. There should be a "session type" or something option there and you can choose what sort of session you want, KDE 3.4, KDE 3.5, console session... etc. The default option will be to load whatever your previous session was, so manually selecting a 3.5 session should mean that in future it will automatically load that version.
