[gentoo-dev] Newbie + e3? + keymap?

[gentoo-dev] Newbie + e3? + keymap?

[Sylvain OBEGI]

Hello
I'm new to Gentoo Linux, and it seems very interesting.
But I have a problem, I don't know if this is the right list for this
but..
I'm trying to install Gentoo with the latest iso image (-r10), but, it
seems that "e3" is not available. I followed the instruction on the
site, but didn't find any editor.. It was not very funny to create
resolv.conf with echo command, but, I don't really want to edit
make.conf that way..
Did I miss something? I guess I did, but don't know what.. Any clues?
Thanks in advance

By the way, is it possible to change keymap at this stage of
installation? I would like to have access to french keyb.

Thanks again

[gentoo-dev] s.q.u.e.l.c.h ebuild

[James M Long]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 807 bytes --]

I have attached a new ebuild for an app called squelch. It is a ogg vorbis player. It has a wide number of ways to output the file, including arts, esd, oss and alsa. I have tried to make sure that all the dependencies have been included. The run time depends seem to be much larger than the compile ones... hopefully I have done the DEPEND, RDEPEND statements correctly. I have tested it on two different machines (Home and Work) and the only thing I seem not to have working correctly is the dodoc line... that doesn't seem to work at all. The good thing is that it doesn't put files in the wrong place. I would appreciate someone else taking a look at this ebuild.

thanks,

James...

I forgot to update the instructions... the new editor is now "nano" and is much
better.

I will be adding international keyboard support most likely to the next ISO CD
release; sorry about the inconvenience!

Ohh.. Ok, thanks!
I think, the most important is to change it on the boot screen ;)

No problem, if it's planned..

[gentoo-dev] Problem adding user + Internationalization

[Sylvain OBEGI]

Hello
I tried to add an user, but ran into troubles. When doing a adduser
command, i got a message about problem with homedir or something like
that. Of course no home dir is created. And, I cannot log in with the
new user.
Any idea?


How to change add/change language in apps like kde?

Thanks in advance

To install translations for a language, emerge 
app-i18n/kde-i18n-<language-code> and, for koffice, 
app-i18n/koffice-i18n-<language-code> as well. 

To switch to a language, use the kcontrol module 
Personalization->Country&Language.

You need to give useradd the -m option to create the home dir.  You need to
run the passwd command on that user to set the pass so you can login.

>How to change add/change language in apps like kde?

No idea.

However, these types of questions are best suited for gentoo-user.  Please
use that list for general how-to questions.  There are lots of developers
who watch that list.  Thanks.

Let me explain myself. I was used to type 'useradd nick' to add a user
with dir & co. So i tought (wrong it seems, and the error message didn't
help me), that there was a bug. And i never thought a user list was the
right place for bug report (btw, if gentoo-user is a good place for bug
report, please tell me, thanks in advance), so i posted my problem here.
Concerning the other question, you are right, this is not the good
place, i thought of this thing just before sending the message, and
didn't even think that there was a list more suited for this (but i was
already a subscriber of gentoo-user.. not a excellent memory ;) (the
next time i'll browse better in the portage tree, the answer was there..
humm).
Btw, it's odd to see that all my questions that i thought were really
dev-related (install/system questions, plans, hotplug) were not
answered, unlike the not-so-dev-related ones. Don't misunderstand me, i
really appreciate your answers (thanks all!), i just find this strange.

Thanks again everyone, and sorry for my 'bad' questions, I'll try to
answer my future ones by myself (or elsewhere).

No need to explain.  Until recently, this list was the only discussion list
for gentoo.  I would post to gentoo-user about issues first to actually
determine if it is a bug.  Perhaps it's a case like this where you were
missing a flag or something.  Once it's determined to be a bug, a detailed
bug report should be posted to gentoo-dev.  Hopefully, we'll have a
bug-tracking system setup for taking in bug reports in a consistent
fashion.

I saw your questions, but wanted to let drobbins comment on them.  He
creates/coordinates the install images.  I imagine others felt the same
way.

Don't get me wrong.  You're questions are fine.  I'm just trying to remind
everyone of the gentoo-user list so we can separate the functionality.

BTW; 

 This is not a bug.

 This is the new way to add users, because now in this millenium in most cases we are (administrators) not adding real users to systems with a shell and homedir it's mainly for authentification purposes, THEN if YOU (administrator) judge that THAT user shall have a homedir and real shell, you add -m or other stuff (the shell part may be unimplemented everywhere yet ...) .
 It's almost a security feauture so we wont accedentally give a shell to johnDoe who ordered his internetaccount over the phone a joeChmuck's CC ...

Of course we all have different tastes , but it is implemented this way on many rescent distros. ...

dont get mad !!!
I always run "blabla --help" before posting an email ! ;-)

Nobody said it was.  He thought it might be, and has been corrected.
