 Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 4:42 pm Post subject: what is virtualx.eclass ? |
 |
|
A while ago I installed gkrellm-leds, unfortunately the test did not pass. I was told to do this:
Since it tries to open DISPLAY you should use virtualx.eclass to test this.
I have no idea what to do here! |

| Simple answer: disable test USE flag. |

I don't think that that explains what Diego said...
I want the test to run and pass. This may help to reveal incompatibilities or wrong settings on my pc. |

Diego's reply implies the ebuild itself (for gkrellm-leds) must be corrected. There is nothing you as user can do to fix the problem--other than report a bug, which has been done--unless you are prepared to copy the ebuild to a local Portage overlay and correct that local copy.
The problem is at least one of the tests for that package needs to communicate with an X server, which won't be possible if, for example, emerge is run from the console. Portage provides an eclass (a library of functions/functionality for use in ebuilds) named virtualx to address this, by ensuring a real or virtual X server is available during the build (starting a virtual X server if necessary).
If you are unable or unwilling to patch the ebuild, turn off the test USE flag as suggested, until an update is released. You might also simply be able to emerge the package when su'ed from your normal user within an X terminal. This would set the DISPLAY variable properly, whose absence seems to be the basic problem.

First of all: I am sorry for replying this late. 
Anyway, thank you for this clarification!
I'll try to emerge gkrellm-leds from GNOME-Terminal as soon as I have been brave enough to execute revdep-rebuild (which will emerge 80 packages (51 upgrades, 9 new, 1 in new slot, 19 reinstalls)) ... although ... um ... after emerging gnome I always used gnome-terminal to emerge stuff. But lets see.  |

Here is what I did.
As you can see a few lines below $DISPLAY is set. I can't say so that isn't the problem because the error message here says something different, but it seems to happen at the same place. IMO that's suspicious... | Quote: | # echo "\$DISPLAY is $DISPLAY"; cat /etc/make.conf | grep -i test; emerge -v gkrellm-leds;
$DISPLAY is :0.0
FEATURES ="ccache stricter test"
USE="${USE} test"
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

What's wrong here?
First I thought it's an access right problem, but it looks like as if root can use amixer.
| Quote: | ~ # amixer -c 0 sset Line,0 80%

Front Right: Playback 25 [81%] [3.00dB] [on] Capture [off]

afaik some tests only work when the test is executed as (non-root) user but there are no scripts to run:
| Quote: | ~ # find /var/tmp/portage/x11-plugins/gkrellm-leds-0.8.1 -iname *test*
~ # |

Is hw:0 your sound device?

I'm not sure. The volume-plugin for gkrellm (gkrellm-volume) say so: | Quote: | Id: hw:0
Mixer Name: VIA 8237 |
I haven't found "hw:0" in any config file: | Quote: | ~ # find /etc/ -exec grep -i "hw:0" {} \;
grep: /etc/...: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden // file or directory not found
grep: /etc/...: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
grep: /etc/...: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
grep: /etc/...: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

I hope that the following information helps to figure it out.

The tests are most likely run in a sandbox, which is why they have no access rights to stuff outside the sandbox. You need to contact the maintainer of the package with the failing test.

I wrote an email to the programmer about 3 weeks ago. Lets see.
I hope he's the person you ment.
To be honest I'm not sure, what "maintainer" means... If it's not the programmer of the software, how can I find out who the maintainer is? |

No, I meant the person responsible for that ebuild.

Oh, well... the bug is assigned to Mr. Ramsay yet.
Thank you for clearing this up and showing me how to find out who the maintainer of a package is! |
