Even when using those commands, I get the error saying that the ebuild doesnt exist in /usr/portage. Why is this? |

couple things.
you need to make a directory in /usr/local named portage
Code: | mkdir /usr/local/portage |
Then portage needs to know where to look for ebuilds so in your /etc/make.conf file, uncomment
Code: | PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage |
I made a directory for qingy in app-misc. Not sure if you need all that but if you plan on using custom ebuilds it makes it nice to have them organized.
so qingy ebuild on my system is located
Code: | /usr/local/portage/app-misc/qingy/qingy-0.2.ebuild
|
Couple other extras: When you actually emerge qingy you will do this:
Code: | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge qingy. | In essence qingy is considered a masked package. If you have uncommented this line in your /etc/make.conf file then you wont need to type the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS line. Make sense?
Also replace ~x86 with whatever platform you use ie ppc or sparc or whatever....
okay? Good Luck

That did the trick! Are there any concequences by using that OVERLAY directory? Does it just check there if an app isnt found in the standard place?

i believe all it does it make it so that next time you emerge rsync you wont have to worry about portage overwriting the qingy ebuild ( because that is what portage would do if it was in /usr/portage instead of /usr/local/portage)

For some reason, after getting it installed, I wasnt able to get directfb to work on my machine. It is a Thinkpad a31p with a Radeon chip. Anyone have any ideas?
I can live without qingy, but it would definately be a nice feature!

Main consequence being that everytime you rsync, your personal ebuilds are not deleted. Otherwise most of it is transparent to the user. |

Are you able to use the framebuffer before? Not sure about why it would not work. Unless, the graphics chip is not supported by DirectFB. I think I use the generic vesafb device. |

Hi everyone,
I have another box that I can't use Gentoo on. I installed qingy from source on it, and everything seems to work fine except for one thing. When I try to log in, I always get "login failed!". I am sure this is a pam issue, but as I don't know anything about pam (I tried reading a bit, but I don't have time to learn it all right now) I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
I hope the following info is useful.
Code: |
[john@limbo john]$ ls /etc/pam.d/
chage login other passwd qingy shadow sshd su useradd
[john@limbo john]$ cat /etc/pam.d/qingy
#%PAM-1.0
auth required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required pam_stack.so service=system-auth
[john@limbo john]$ cat /etc/pam.d/login
#%PAM-1.0
auth requisite pam_securetty.so
auth requisite pam_nologin.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth required pam_unix.so nullok
account required pam_access.so
account required pam_unix.so
session required pam_motd.so
session required pam_limits.so
session optional pam_mail.so dir=/var/spool/mail standard
session optional pam_lastlog.so
session required pam_unix.so

Thanks in advance! _________________ All your code are belong to us. |

um...ok....nevermind...
i think you should call this program wolverine....it has self healing powers.
for instance, at first, my mouse wouldnt work, but after killing X and going back to qingy, it worked.
as mentioned above, non-kde audio didnt work. so i logged in kde as root, and it worked, so i thought there might be something wrong with permissions. but everything looked right. anyway, i logged back in as a normal user, and of course, it worked perfectly. i would not be suprised if i suddenly get an extra 10fps in games now, just for the hell of it. thanks man. |

So to avoid trouble, just put x86 in it and it will download DirectFB-0.9.18 instead of DirectFB-0.9.19-r1.
I will definitly give a try to this baby.
A couple of questions:
- Does it support language setting like in gdm?
- If you can start different wm in several console, do they each spawn a separate X process? _________________ (7 of 9) Installing star-trek/species-8.4.7.2::talax. |

There are definitely problems with qingy and pam... no doubt about that. I have prepared an alternative /etc/pam.d/qingy to give to you 'forumers' to test. This evening, when I should get my hands again on my 'big' PC, I hope I can post it here...
As for mouse not working, this might be of help. This is for all gpm users. Right now, DirectFB doesn't work with gpm: if you start a directfb app with gpm active, it is likely that mouse will not function correctly, like probably all apps that use gpm from that point afterwards. So, if qingy detects gpm running, it will stop it before entering directfb mode, and restart it when going back to text mode . Occasionally there may be some glitches, i.e. gpm does not get restarted, so you might try restarting it by hand, and restarting the X server (if it uses gpm) afterwards. In the long run, I hope the DirectFB folks are able to make Directfb and gpm coexist. _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

Right now, you cannot unless you change qingy source code by hand. It seems I should add an option to allow this...
Uh, there will surely be some changes in next version, thanks to feedback in this forum _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

No language settings right now... qingy being version 0.2, I think I will need quite some time to add support for that, so don't expect it very soon. But it will have it in the future.
And yes, each wm spawns a separate X process. If somebody knows of a way to avoid this, of course I'm interested... _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

well i am using it now , really testing it.
about the dpi problem , i figured it that the displaySize in XF86Config takes care of it , so i can use it now.
most things that bother me:
the resolution , i want to make the screen 1400x1050 ( thats the resolution i use on the other framebuffers )
session , i would like for the qingy on vt1 had kde 3 for default , gingy on vt2 had enlightenment , etc ...
this would not be set in config file , but to the latest session on that qingy , not the latest session by that user. |

I got this up and running and love it. However I noticed one problem. If I have qingy startup for more than 1 tty, the screens overlap and it is unusable. If I only set tty1 to qingy and leave the rest for agetty it works like a charm. I'm using a GeForce2 GTS with the vesafb driver and 2.6.0-test3-mm1. Any ideas why it does this? |

i guess its pointless to ask if you tried with a 2.4 kernel ? it would be smart to have tried with it first. |

Try running without arguments and put the whole output in . Then create a file named and put the line in it...

This is very interesting: what about an option to select if you want last session of user, or last session of tty?[/code] _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

As promised... this makes sound work on my machine. Please give it a try and let me know about the results... Replace the contents of your /etc/pam.d/qingy with this:
Code: |
auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so

in it, I don't think I'm missing anything... the problem only occurs during the time shutdown is running, when the border of my console image (it has a border where no text is drawn) gets drawn on top of Qingy's 'shutting down' screen. I hope there's something that can be done about this, but I have no idea if it's a Qingy thing or a bootsplash thing or a DirectFB thing or another thing entirely.

Hi maw and sorry for the late reply...
I don't have a solution for this, except maybe an option to disable the 'shutting down' screen... what do you think about that?
maw wrote: |
Hiding the last username would be good. Or maybe an option not to display the last username at all, but a setting where it automatically uses their last selected session unless they say otherwise? Might be better for shared computers (although mine isn't shared, I must admit). Although at this point I think it's worth remembering that the GNOME folks do have a point, too many options can be bad. Obviously don't do anything you're not happy with, it's your program, and I can always modify my own copy of it if I get really frustrated with anything, since you write such nice readable code |
Well, if you are interested you could help me in extend qingy I always have so many ideas and so little time in my hands... Feel free to contact me at michele.noberasco@tiscali.it, as I think this is OT here... _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears

I did the steps posted by Chickpea but i get the following error when I try too rmerge
Code: |
Tony root # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~ppc" emerge -pv qingy
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!

Tony root # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~ppc" emerge qingy

Tony root # ebuild foo.ebuild digest

The first timeI tried to emerge qingy it got as far as downloading qingy to /usr/portage/distfiles.('')
Where am I going wrong (this is a ppc emerge). |

You are doing nothing wrong, just missing one step. cd to /usr/local/portage/app-misc/qingy/ and issue a
Code: |
ebuild qingy-<version>.ebuild digest
|
You can then proceed as above... _________________ Linux *IS* user friendly: it just appears
