I have been trying to duplicate your problem without sucsess. I did see a couple problems:
1)
| Quote: |
*** You are not in the portage group. You may experience cache problems
*** due to permissions preventing the creation of the on-disk cache.
*** Please add this user to the portage group if you wish to use portage.
|
Porthole imports portage to use some of its code, so please add the portage group to your group list
| Code: | | usermod -G portage, audio, cdrom,<insert all other groups needed> pavan |
2)
| Quote: | UTILS: get_world(); Failure to locate file: '/var/lib/portage/world'
UTILS: get_world(); Trying '/var/cache/edb/world'
MAINWINDOW: UpgradableReader(); Failed to locate the world file
|
This showed me we didn't update a few dprint statements when this code was moved. I've just fixed it.
BUT Why could it not find '/var/lib/portage/world' or the old location '/var/cache/edb/world' .
What versions of portage and python are you using? Do these file exist on your system?
3)
| Quote: | | PORTAGELIB: reset_use_flags(); |
This is from a non used function that did not do what I wanted. How did this function get run.?????
I think you may have memory (hardware) problems or some other problem like a bad download.
4)
| Quote: | TERMINAL: show_window(): window attribute already set... attempting show
Segmentation fault |
The next 2 commands run should not have caused a segfault. I believe you either got a bad download or you are experiencing computer hardware problems.
Check the md5sum of the download porthole-0.5.0-pre1.tbz2 file
This the md5sum:
| Code: | md5sum porthole-0.5.0-pre1.tbz2
aac0dfa3e32a5fc72df2c35a4fd7badd porthole-0.5.0-pre1.tbz2 |

when i run as root it crashe's with the following message in the terminal
| Code: |
[('-l', ''), ('-d', '')]
[]
Debug printing is enabled
pycrash module initializing
If a crash occurs check the /var/log/porthole/crash_root.html file and post it to porthole bugs
PORTHOLE: process id = 27259 ****************
*** PORTHOLE: Crash detected! ***
Please submit a bug report including
all debug text from the terminal you ran porthole from.
Plus the the file: /var/log/porthole/crash_root.html

i didn't see your post before i posted the info about running as root. sorry
i will try & answer all the questions you have raised.
for #1.
How do i figure out what is my current group membership is?
i really don't want to change stuff without knowing what i am doing.
for #2
| Code: |
ls -l /var/lib/portage/world
-rw-r--r-- 1 root portage 1732 Aug 21 23:27 /var/lib/portage/world
ls -l '/var/cache/edb/world'
ls: /var/cache/edb/world: No such file or directory
|
for #4 i doubt that i had a bad download, but cannot varify the checksum since i have removed the download.
i am definite that i have no system problems either.
i have athlon 64 box by the way.
later on i would try & redownload the s/w & compare the checksum.
with regards to my immediatly prior post. is it ok to run after a su - too root??
thanks |

Yes, it is fine to run it as root. There are even a few more options available that way. We will be able to offer those to users later when we have a better way to su within porthole (that package is to be released soon)
It certainly seems like your biggest problems were a bad download.
There have been a few bugfixes in cvs and I am working on another, We should have a testing ebuild out again soon.
As for the sudoers file
There is a special way to edit the file so that it is done correctly. You will have to run it from a su'd terminal. The groups look good now.
