Gentoo Forums

Thanks for taking the time to reply jburns, however I have been searching for this for 4 days now including putting your recommendation into various search engines. However all I seem to get is bug reports rather than any fixes, I was hoping by posting into the Gentoo forum that a user may have had ...

Part 2, it's pretty similar down to the end, but at this point we get the error message:

I'm having a bit of trouble updating my system, when I try to update via portage I keep on getting stuck when webkit is updating. From the build log it appears that the problem is JSCore 1.2 or later is required and I currently have JSCore 1.0 installed.

What package includes the core JavaScript ...

I've been having some issues since an update came in for libpng1.4 I was working my way through these but I noticed that another poster had similar issues with it on this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-814946-highlight-.html

I tried charlies suggestion and typed the command:

cd /usr ...

Is there a way of reversing the original command?

I have just been told to use

sed -i.bak

to reverse the original command. However I have to confess that I am not very well schooled on the sed tool and would like any help/advice that I can get. I don't seem to be able to emerge anything just ...

These commands might have fixed the missing dependency by deleting references to it from all *.la files:
cd /usr/lib && find . -iname \*.la -exec sed -i "s@libGL.la@@g" {} ';'

I appear to have a slight problem. I am experiencing similar problems here to original poster so I tried Charlie's sed ...

I ran libpng-1.4.x-update.sh but both packages emerged with exactly the same output

Recently my VLC player stopped working and it seems to have lost the dependency qt-gui which I can't seem to install, here is the build log:

Solved.

There appears to have been a bit of issues with my graphics card driver, it didn't seem to affect my desktop too much (Compiz etc still worked fine) but I was noticing that sometimes on startup I would be greeted with the NVIDIA logo and other times not. I updated my graphics card driver to ...

I've downloaded Air SDK from the Adobe website and extracted it to /opt/airSDK/ I've changed the application.xml file back to
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.0">
in accordance with my Air SDK version however I am still getting this when I try and launch Spaz:

root init ...

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0">

Changing my line to 1.0 simply gave me the same result. However I did check which version of air I had using portage and found out it was 1.5.3 so I changed the line to

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5.3 ...

I am trying to try out Spaz on my Gentoo 64 bit Gnome Desktop. I installed the Adobe Air through portage using the sunrise overlay. This installed Adobe air to /opt/Adobe/AirSDK

I then downloaded Spaz from the offical website and extracted it to /opt/air-apps/SpazAIR

From my reading up on Adobe ...

After gdm failing to login automatically you can read them in /var/log/messages

I will take a look, I stupidly did not think of checking the log (d'oh!!!!). The next time it happens I will check and if it is unclear I will post the output on the forum

enquire as to why GDM is even necessary in your case since you only ever have one user that will be using X

I am the only user, however Gnome is not my only X graphical environment, just my default one.

When I type I am greeted with the message: Is that covering what your asking?

I have my Gentoo system running exactly the way I want it apart from one annoyance. I use the Gnome desktop environment(64 bit) and gdm as my login. In the settings the enable autologin is selected for the appropriate user, however this only occurs about a third of the time, the other two thirds I ...

Right it has installed without any major errors, does anybody know what this is part of or how to run it, so far trawling the net via google has only shown me what it looks like, not how to use it or set it up.

Sorry, having a stupid moment, hadn't put the ebuild into the /usr/portage directory, d'oh

sorry my mistake (copied the wrong line) but problem still remains

qting-edge [Git ] (git://gitorious.org/gentoo-qt/qting-edge.git )

I am using the command "emerge --search xqde" even if it is masked, should it not still give me a package with masked after it in brackets?

I've installed the overlay, when I use the command layman -L I get the output:

x11 [Git ] (git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/x11 )

however when I search for xqde or x11-misc/xqde I am told that:

I would like to install a dock on my desktop and have been recommended to try XQDE. I have downloaded the source data from the website http://sourceforge.net/projects/xqde/

A very belated thank you to NeddySeagoon, I re-compiled the kernel effectively and my webcam now is fully functional :D. The only issue I had was when I recompiled the kernel I had to reinstall the NVIDIA driver, when x started it was a blank screen, but this took less than 5 minutes to install, but ...

Slight issue with rebuilding the kernel, after two unsuccessful attempts at building the kernel I opted for genkernel. Can I add CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV on top of my existing settings or do I need to defeat my demons and manage a manual build of the kernel?

I have found out that my webcam is a uvc, I've never needed to know much before as with previous distros the webcam 'just worked'

When I try to install the Linux-uvc app it results in the following output:

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