Nothing worked.
Anyway, I did resume the world update with the very usefull "skipfirst" option.
It has resumed and keeps compiling. 431 packages remaining.


Thanks all for your help.

Hello,

After having left my Gentoo for more than a year, I'm trying to upgrade it. No use to say that portage wants to upgrade hundreds of packets and makes errors.
However, I get the following error message on upgrading the glib that I can't solve :

Hello,

I can't get emerged the package dev-python/notify-python & dev-python/python-poppler.

Solved ! As easy as this.


Thanks a lot for your help.

I found out that it's a KDE bug. I'm updating the post as it might help someone later.

The solution is to to set a mouse acceleration different of 0 to avoid this bug. I set to 1 pixel in the system config and all is good now.

All,

I'm having a problem appeared recently, my mouse is jumping in (0,0) coordinates just when I stop moving the cursor.
Once I move again the cursor, it restarts almost all the time from (0,0), sometimes from (x,0) or (0,y).
It reset only if I stop moving the mouse. When constantly keeping the ...

Didn't find it.
Thanks for the link

Good day,

I switched recently to open source driver due to ATI no longer supporting my HD4870.
I'm please with the open source except for that the fan is running too fast and thus is too noisy.
fglrx was making it running far slower, almost noiseless.
I'm talking only of the GPU running on the KDE ...

I wouldn't object to --depclean being smarter, but there is a simple, effective workaround. You know when you build and test a new kernel. As part of that process, always add it to the world set. For example, in your case: emerge --noreplace =gentoo-sources-3.2.1-gentoo-r2 When you're finally done ...

All,

All is in the title?
Why shall emerge --depclean wants to remove the in use kernel ?

I have the current kernel 3.2.1-gentoo-r2.
The newest one is 3.2.12.


On running emerge --depclean, emerge wants to remove 3.2.1 that I'm currently using, and keep the 3.2.12 that I don't use (and to plan to ...

Fuck.
Can't post the whole thing either on quote or 'code'. Too long.
Anyway, after having read the bug submited, it really seems that this is the same bug.

I'm running kde 4.8 since last update of early days.

Thanks for that. I absolutely didn't remember that one day I had activated this sql method for speeding-up emerge.

Failed.
I emerged 'pysqlite' with no luck before switching to python2.7
After having switch to 2.7, no program that is python-based works anymore, so I can't emerge anything.

I have python-updater version 0.10 and there is no USE flag for this package as equery said.

When trying to upgrade to python 2.7, following the guide, I key the following :
- emerge python:2.7
- eselect python set python2.7
- eselect python list to get sure python2.7 is select (and it is)

when i run python-updater, I get those error messages :

I think the effect may be psychosomatic, or that your speakers are starting to break in and loosen up a bit with all the bassy music you've been testing out with. Either way, the patch is easy to apply (literally one line), so as long as it keeps applying I don't think there's any harm in ...

As i still had no answer from Alsa dev, I did patch my current kernel by myself.
Less then 20 sec. to paste the line code in the .c file and 2 minutes to recompile the entire kernel and modules and then reboot the computer.

I would say it was true, I feel that I have a little more deeper bass ...

At the time I'm typing this mail, I'm on Windows 7 trying to listen to the same music as I do under linux and figure out if there is a difference.
If there is a difference, it seems slight. 8O

You are right. 100% agreed with you when you say that the Essence is designed to provided a "pure direct" sound.
However, I did buy a pair a Focal 705V speakers with a nu-force icon amp so that the Essence can drive real Hi-Fi hardware. Although the speakers does need to be "used" before they really ...

Is there any way in which I could set bass and treble on Kmix?
I did saw screenshot of Kmix where the sliders are available for both treble and bass in Kmix, but not active using the Asus Xonar Essence.

I guess that this comes from the driver, which implements (or not) those two sliders.
