I think usbutils doesn't come in the minimal install media. I guess I'll have to install the system and after that usbutils to try it out.
I don't think it is the USB port though I tried connecting it to a different USB port and nothing and the stick is brand new so it must be firmware cause I know ...

lspci isn't showing any entry for any network controller other than the ethernet controller of the mobo also all USB listed aren't showing anything connected to them.
I think it is not being recognized by the PC

I know there is no real suppor for it but I read in a few posts that there are a few drivers that work with some netgear cards so I'm wondering if there is any that would work with mine - Netgear WNA1100 (N150 Wireless USB Adapter).

By the way I'm doing a fresh install of gentoo on an old pc I have ...

Well for the sake of the thread my system is running like new now. Didn't really have any problems or troubles after running python-updater and I'm using python3.1. If I ever encounter another problem running 3.1 I'll switch to 2.7 and run python-updater. I just didn't know updating python would ...

OK

Code: Select all

python-updater

apparently fixed a lot (using python 3.1 as active system python).
I ran

Code: Select all

revdep-rebuild

and still have two broken links using libpython2.6 (both openoffice) and it is compiling now so I guess my issue is resolved. I'll keep posting.

If eselect python list returns python 2.7 and 3.1 then you have python 2.7 and 3.1 installed.
If you type which python it should return the location where python is installed which should be /usr/bin/python
If emerge --sync or emerge *anything returns you to # then maybe is it your don't have python ...

This is an issue I had after upgrading (emerged world which automatically upgraded python from 2.7 to 3.1). Thread:can't emerge anything just in case people reading this post get the same error I got. Maybe it'll help.

hamilito

Just

Code: Select all

eselect python update

then

Code: Select all

python-updater

and sit back and take two or three naps

hamilito

Now I have two Python's but before it only showed 3.1, unless this is a false positive and Python isn't really there.
If you read the sticky Python 2.7 upgrade? you'll see that the python upgrade creates a new slot so you will have both slots 2.7 and 3.1 in case you wanted to switch back to the ...

CurtE thats the same I got. read my previous post. follow chiefbag post.

hamilito

CurtE You can find out what version you have and if it is active by typing
#eselect python list
Should return something like this:
Available Python interpreters:
[1] python2.7
[2] python3.1 *
Then if you type eselect python update it should automatically select you the most updated version ...

hamilito

Hey CurtE this is what I've done so far:
I read the sticky sticky: Python 2.7 upgrade?
I ran: #eselect python update --python2
This selected python 2.7 as active.
then: #revdep-rebuild
but I still got some errors. So I did what chiefbag wrote and ran: #eselect python update
This then selects the ...
