Not really a bug per se, so I haven't filed a report yet. Well, OK. It might be an installation bug. :)

I recently upgraded cups from the stable version for the amd64 to th ~amd64 version to attempt to resolve some issues that I've got interacting with hplip. emerge --search cups shows:

net-print ...

Yes, so this out weighs all the short comings of the OSS nv driver. You MUST change now!
That it is fixed now doesn't matter, its about principle. :lol:

Umm, no. What it's about is quite simple: What other bugs or exploits does Nvidia know about that we don't? How long have they known about ...

Did you miss the part of the story where Nvidia has apparently known about the vulnerability for two years??? That's a ridiculously long time by any measure.

These are low impact, home use only machines. My only real need for backup is to recover from a disk failure. I'm not at all worried about having to find old files. So, I overwrite my backups every night. The drawback, of course, is that I have no history. Normally it's not a big deal, but right now ...

Actually, the issue isn't cron at all. unison is not doing its job. I was showing the failing case where a file that I delete from one system is not deleted from the other. Instead, the deleted file is copied back from the other system.

That is incorrect behavior for true file and directory ...

OK, after commenting out the "silent=true" statement from jps-home.prf, here's the output:

sgtrock ~ # rm /home/jim/sgtrock-a.txt
sgtrock ~ # /usr/bin/unison -ui text -batch -force newer -times jps-home.prf > jps-output2.txt
Looking for changes
betsi/.cedega/.default_configuration_profiles/config ...

Oops, you're right. I missed the top couple of lines of the file. Here's the whole thing:
sgtrock .unison # cat jps-home.prf
root = /home
root = ssh://jps//home

#
# Include the common variables
#
include common

#
# Set the variables necessary for running in batch mode
# force = newer
# times ...

OK, although I don't see how it would help much. The rest of it is just IGNORE variables. I assume that you'll want to see the rest of 'common' as well?

The unison mailing list did turn up an answer. Below, you'll note that I used
-force newer

as part of the calling command. This is what was forcing the copying of the deleted files. What I should have been using was
-prefer newer

Using that instead provides the behavior that I want. We now ...

OK, call me dense. I've been through the documentation a dozen times and I'm still not getting things to work properly. :( As the home page seems to be most kindly described as static, I'm hoping someone here might be able to tell me what stupid configuration mistake I've made. :oops:

I currently ...

I haven't tried flagedit myself. Sounds like a nice utility.

Failing that, the message thread that I posted earlier details how you can add the necessary flags from the console.

In either case, after you add those dependencies for a rebuild of python, you'll find that idle is included as part of ...

I've used vim, idle, and eclipse with the pydev plug-in for very light python development scaling up to what might be mid-sized projects.

vim is OK, but really works best if you're already comfortable with it.

idle is great for small stuff, and scales reasonably well. The interactive shell comes ...

Here's an answer to why idle might not have been added as part of your python emerge:

Before you give up completely, try compiling the generic kernel sources. Nitro is not guaranteed to be completely clean, after all. I've had my share of strange issues with it in the past.

Try ET: Team Fortress. By far the biggest hit at the last LAN party that I hosted.

Worse, there's no desire to update the Eclipse build by the maintainers. I've seen several posts on bugzilla and here in the forums to just rely on the Eclipse updater. Might as well just grab the tarball and put it in /opt or /usr/local in that case.

[Edit: Fixed]


Turns out, reading the bottom of http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml?style=printable helps.

I get "no screens found" and the logs state "Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!"

You're most likely missing the /dev/nvidia* device files. Create them using ...

I'm seeing the same thing here.

Kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1, Nvidia 6800GT on AGP. This video card and my kernel config worked for 2.611. Needed to upgrade due to clean up for support of udev after last baselayout upgrade.

I've run nothing but Nvidia cards for about 6 years. I've been running Gentoo ...

Please look at bug 119894. I think I got bit hard by the same issue. Older kernel, never turned on CONFIG_HOTPLUG, converted from devfs to udev, etc.

<sigh> Not looking forward to cleaning this one up.

TY!

Hi, all. I did the gcc upgrade to 3.4 over Xmas break. Since then I've installed a few packages successfully. A couple of days ago portage began failing completely. Here is the error message that I get:

sgtrock ~ # emerge --info

Nope, I hadn't. When I ran update the first time, it updated Eclipse from ?? to 3.0.2 and pydev from 0.8.0 to 0.8.5 automatically. I'll try adding your update link and try again.

Thanks!

Hi, all;

I'm currently running Eclipse 3.0.2 with pydev 0.8.5. This is after I found some advice in bug 94083 that indicated that I would have better luck updating through the Eclipse update feature than I would using the ebuild. The guy who responded said that the devs were having trouble with 1.5 ...

Standsolid;

I just ran across this thread. I checked to see if your gentoo GUI toolset was still available. I get a '404', so I'm assuming that you've either moved it , or dropped it. Are you still actively developing it?
