Re: udevd boot messages

Portage *never* installs anything in /usr/local. My best bet is that you
have been experimenting back in 2007 and probably copied the original
file in /usr/local. Remove it and then emerge elogviewer again ;)

Peter Humphrey — 2012-05-26T09:34:28

So is mine (same version), so I don't know why it's looking in 
/usr/local/bin. I have no alias mentioning elogviewer.

$ find /usr -name elogviewer 2> /dev/null
/usr/portage/app-portage/elogviewer
/usr/bin/elogviewer
$

$ grep /local/ /usr/bin/elogviewer
$


Nope. Unless I did something odd in 2007, I suppose. I don't like 
mysteries  :-(

Huh? Mine (latest stable 0.5.2-r2, official Gentoo portage - not some
overlay) is installed in /usr/bin/...

Have you changed the install path or installed it through some other means?

[Possibly OT] rile-roller having problems with deletions after upgrade to 3* series kernel

Michael Sullivan — 2012-05-26T04:49:28

Each night (at midnight) I make backups of files that changed the
previous day, and on the first of the month I make full backups of
important directories (/home, /etc, etc etc).  Each morning I do
maintenance on the partial backup from the day before.  I've noticed
that since I upgraded to the 3* series kernel (at this moment it's
3.2.12) I've had problems with file-roller - I tell it to delete a
directory (something I consider nonessential like ~/.thumbnails) and I
says "Reading archive..." without actually deleting anything.  I've
found that I can delete ten files at a time, which can be really
inconvenient when there are hundreds of nonessential files I need to
delete.  I don't think it's tar - I can go into my terminal window and
delete all the files I want with tar and it works perfectly; it just
seems to be file-roller.  Has anyone else experienced this?

The file isn't that difficult. Also, this is a laptop whose only
working network connection is its wifi NIC.

Willie Matthews — 2012-05-25T23:55:49

Whenever I have this problem I find that when I look at my Activity
Manager it is still trying to copy a sent message to the sent folder on
IMAP. That process just get stuck sometimes. Makes Thunderbird stay open.

I thought I'd give this a try, but after installing it and its two 
dependencies (pygtk and libglade - this is a KDE box) I get this:

$ elogviewer --help
  File "/usr/local/bin/elogviewer", line 11
    """
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I messed about with that file but couldn't make the syntax work, so I ran 
"emerge -Cav elogviewer" and the file was left behind. Qfile and "equery b 
/usr/local/bin/elogviewer" turned nothing up so I deleted the file.

Now, after remerging elogviewer and the two dependencies I get this:

$ elogviewer --help
bash: /usr/local/bin/elogviewer: No such file or directory

What's going on here? Where did that file come from originally, and why 
is it not being installed now? I've retrieved it from a backup, but how 
did it get in there? It dates from 2007!

Maybe it's just too late at night.

It happens with other users two (i had the exact same problem on two
different installations, early after clean install.) and i also run it from
terminal and there are no msg right before it freezes.

Hello,


Occasionally I get this, but I have not narrowed any causes down yet.
For example I have just tried it, but it worked perfectly. However, I
get sometimes 100% CPU usage and it has to do something with the IMAP
access of my mailboxes (I am using 2 at the moment if that makes any
difference).

Hope that helps,
Ignas A.

P.S. I am thinking more and more, that I should to switch to something
more lightweight... :p Maybe mutt or luamail... but it will have to
happen a bit later. :)

Thunderbird - Anyone else with this problem?

Colleen Beamer — 2012-05-25T22:16:08

Hi,

Ever since the last time Thunderbird was updated when I synced, the
process does not die when I shut down Thunderbird.  I have to kill it
before I can start up Thunderbird again.  Is anyone else experiencing
this problem.  Thought I would ask here before I complained to the
Mozilla folks.

Regards,

Colleen

Does it also happen with another user who never used Epiphany before?
This way you can test whether it is affected by some of your settings.

I would try to disable all plugins. It could possibly be flash/gnash
or something having a problem.

I would also run it from an xterm so you can see if there are any
useful messages shown when the problem occurs.

Re: perl versioning problem, how to get beyond for < at >world

Harry Putnam — 2012-05-25T18:06:49


Doesn't seem to have been related to < at >INC as that variable contains
all the usual suspects.  Far as processing that may be the problem.



Thanks for that.

I did `perl-cleaner --reallyall' but the emerge process engendered by it
failed again at the same perl module: perl-core/Module-Build-0.400.0
-------        ---------       ---=---       ---------      -------- 

Here is what seems to have fixed things up... I'm not sure if all of
it is required, but what I finally did was unmask the hard mask on
perl-5.14

Emerged that with -uD flags which caused the same troublesome
perl-core/Module-Build-0.400.0 to be installed after the new perl was
installed and it went by without a whimper.

Then followed with perl-cleaner --all, followed by revdep-rebuild.
(neither of those seemed to find much to do). 

Apparently the perl change was fully cleaned up during install so
perl-cleaner had nothing to do.

And finally `eix-sync' followed by `emerge -vuDp < at >world' which revealed
that those troublesome perl modules: perl

Hello,

the following happens in other occasions but i am sure just about this:

every time i open facebook and enter anything into the search field and
click any of the results epiphany freezes, then i can only force quit. I
know this is not the best description but could anyone, please, suggest how
to try to debug this?

thanks

Re: Re: How to access newsgroup?

Paul Hartman — 2012-05-25T14:38:08

Check with your news provider to see if they have alternative ports
open, or run a portscan with nmap. Otherwise consider using a
different news provider. Many commercial providers allows access on
other ports and SSL encrypted connections on port 563.

Also, if you have IPv6 connectivity, try finding a news host on IPv6.
Sometimes a port is blocked on IPv4 but they forget to block it on
IPv6. :)

You can't.

emul-linux-x86-medialibs is a prebuilt binary and wants pulse libs
which you don;t have. You can't change the emul packages easily, so
just tell revdep-rebuild to ignore them. Put this in 
/etc/revdep-rebuild/99revdep-rebuild:
