My HOWTO:
Ok, the problem seems to be a resolved bug of 6.8 Xorg.
The bug is 1441 located at http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1441
lucida fonts are not generated.
What to do:
emerge the packages for Xorg without compiling:
| Code: | | emerge --fetchonly xorg-x11 |
now we have to inject the right patch in the right place.
as root we download the patch and save in the right format for the ebuild:
| Code: | | wget http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=959 -O 1441_all_6.8.0-Derived_font_not_generated.patch |
Now we have to add this file to the patch file that we already downloaded with the emerge:
| Code: |
cd /usr/portage/distfiles
tar -xjf xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2
cp /1441_all_6.8.0-Derived_font_not_generated.patch
cp /root/1441_all_6.8.0-Derived_font_not_generated.patch ./patch
|
note: substitute /root in the last line with the directory where you downloaded the file.
After we have to recompress the patch files:
| Code: |
tar -cjvf xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2 ./patch
|
now the final step: we have to refresh the MD5 hash in the ebuild file.
| Code: |
md5sum xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2
|
that's the new md5.
open with your favorite editor (vi / nano ... )
| Code: |
nano /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/files/digest-xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1
|
and edit the line with the "xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2" file: delete the "strange number" (the MD5 of the previus file) and write the new MD5 just calculated with md5sum.
now compile X:
that's all, after that the fonts will be there, no need to change themes, all themes avaliable!!
Please feedback any error in this post ! |

What are those numbers on the end in the digest file??? '62194' Could that be the problem?
This is odd because if a do the following....
| Code: | gentoo distfiles # cat 009bb06603b341c1f58bc7e32340effc *xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2 >xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2.md5
gentoo distfiles # md5sum -c xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2.md5
xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2: OK |
It showes the md5sum is correct. Any ideas?

ok ifigured it out... those last 5 digits are the file size... you need to do an...
| Code: | | ls -l xorg-x11-6.8.0-patches-0.2.2.1.tar.bz2 |
and change those digits to the new file size.

Ok, can i add do the howto? I didn't modified the file size parameter, maybe it has been changed *automatically* but i don't remember..
When i will be back @ home, i'll check my config! |

the proper way to generate digest for ebuilds is:
| Code: | | ebuild YOUR_FILE.ebuild digest |
This should get you going.
Thanks fot the howto.
If you have sme spare time you might consuder posting in bugzilla. |

Has this been reported as a bug / has any word come back from the powers that be?
I just did another install on my new machine and hit the same issue that i did ages ago on my laptop.
Especially when only 1 out of the first 10 threads in a quick search (ie, this one) documents any real solution (short of using different themes or manually copying fonts around) it could easily be overlooked.
I imaginge it cant be too hard to add one more patch to the official xorg-x11ebuild?
Please excuse the rant, but having to compile xorg yet again after messing with other "undocumented features" involving combinations of dlload and static use flags, and the nvidia drivers...
Well, I have a solution, so I'm not *that* worried, but I'll bet there will be others to follow....

I followed the directions but I am still getting the file size error (I updated it in the digest to the new value). What am I doing wrong?

yeah, I got that too...
If you're just copy and pasting commands, then
| Code: | | nano /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/files/digest-xorg-x11-6.8.0-r1 |
is out dated, and you're actually editing a file that portage isn't looking at.
Find which exact version of xorg-x11 you're emerging and fix up the appropriate digest.
Well that's how I fixed it anyways.... Unless you're having a totally different problem.... =) |

This is the closest I could find in the bugzilla system: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67924
I added a comment and relevant pointers. I think they just have their hands full and did not yet come around to this problem.
Anyhow, I've been struggling with this problem for awhile and I just can't bare no more the BlueSteel theme. I just came back to check on this thread and am happy to see someone found a REAL solution to it.
I'm trying it it as soon as my current emerge world is done  . I will (of course) copy the current stable build to my overlay and publish how I did it here. I just want to be sure is works before I do that.
edit:Ok, it's now emerging. Here is what I did and which I think should be the proper fix until the xorg's ebuild devs fix it for real:
1- enable the PORTAGE_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf. In my case, it's set to the default /usr/local/portage.
2- create the folder for the overlayed xorg-x11 ebuild: | Code: | | # mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/files |
3- change to the folder where the overlayed ebuild will reside: | Code: | | # cd /usr/local/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11 |
4- copy the latest xorg-x11 ebuild from the portage tree into the overlay folder. As of this writting, the latest stable ebuild was version 6.8.0-r3: | Code: | | # cp /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3.ebuild . |
5- edit the ebuild and add these two lines:
5a- in the XPATCH variable, at the end of it, add the line http://hanzubon.jp/patches/xorg/font_install_fix.diff, so the the finale result looks like this: | Code: | # Misc patches we may need to fetch ..
X_PATCHES="mirror://gentoo/${P}-patches-${PATCH_VER}.tar.bz2
http://dev.gentoo.org/~spyderous/${PN}/patchsets/${PV}/${P}-patches-${PATCH_VER}.tar.bz2
http://dev.gentoo.org/~cyfred/distfiles/${P}-patches-${PATCH_VER}.tar.bz2
http://hanzubon.jp/patches/xorg/font_install_fix.diff" |
5b- add the line epatch ${DISTDIR}/font_install_fix.diff, in the src_unpack() function, right over the commented line that reads # Remove bum encoding, so that the result code in that region of the ebuild looks like this: | Code: |
# Unpack extra fonts stuff from Mandrake
ebegin "Unpacking fonts"
if use nls
then
unpack gemini-koi8-u.tar.bz2 > /dev/null
fi
unpack eurofonts-X11.tar.bz2 > /dev/null
unpack xfsft-encodings-${XFSFT_ENC_VER}.tar.bz2 > /dev/null
eend 0
epatch ${DISTDIR}/font_install_fix.diff
# Remove bum encoding
rm -f ${WORKDIR}/usr/share/fonts/encodings/urdunaqsh-0.enc
patch_setup
|
6- copy one patch resting in the files subfolder: | Code: | | # cp /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-x11/files/xpm-secfix-thomas.diff files/ |
note: This was the sole patch that I needed. It may be possible that depending on the USE flags you have, maybe you will need more files from there. In fact, it seems I have borked my xorg-x11 folder in the portage tree and I will need to resync it to be realy sure of that. (update on that: it worked.
7- rebuild the digest file: | Code: | | # ebuild xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3.ebuild digest |
note: Since I personaly install with the -doc USE flag, the ebuild SRC_URI will not include two tarballs if, like me, you then try to rebuild the digest. This is, in my own humble opinion, a conceptual bug of ebuild, and to circumvent this you can download the files by preceding the digest command with "USE=-doc"
8- emerge it: | Code: | | # emerge -av xorg-x11 |
To be sure it takes the overlay ebuild, Portage should point that to you: | Quote: | These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 +3dfx -3dnow +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug +dlloader* +dmx -doc -hardened -insecure-drivers +ipv6 +mmx +nls +pam -sdk +sse -static +xprint* 0 kB [1]
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
Portage overlays:
[1] /usr/local/portage
Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] |
That's it. The time to write all this and it's still emerging. If there are mistakes, please pm me.
Further updates: In the news today... It's xmax. My merge is finish. My themes are fixed. I still need to restart E when switching theme, otherwise it's all screwed up. E16 is really due for retirement... me think.
Merry Emerge and Happy New Sync everybody.

Thanks for the info!
I'd love to try it out myself, but hanzubon.jp doesn't seem to be resolving. Is there somehwere else I can get that patch? |
