[gentoo-user] OT: gkrellm ??? Only as daemon ???

[gentoo-user] OT: gkrellm ??? Only as daemon ???

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I treid to find the correct name of the package, which I can use to
 install the gkrellm apllikation (not the daemon).

 emerge gkrellm 

 installs gekrellmd only.

 Hmmm...what should I emerge instead. In the list of all gekrellm* I
 only found addons additionally.

 Am I blind or...?

 Thank you very much for any hint or help in advance !
 Slightly confused,
 mcc

It should be placed in /usr/bin as gkrellm2.  That is what is on mine at
least.

Hope that helps.

Hi Dale,

 thanks for your reply! :)

 The only thing which is installed after

	 emerge gekrellm 

 is

     /usr/bin/gekrellmd

 . Hmmmm....

 Output of the emerge:

Odd. On my system:

$ locate gkrellm | grep bin
/usr/bin/gkrellm2
/usr/bin/gkrellmd
$ epm -qf /usr/bin/gkrellm2
gkrellm-2.2.5

Maybe you need 'X' USE flag set? In any event, 'gkrellm2' is what you are 
looking for...

Yes it works.

But: Why contains gkrellm's  default USE-flags "-X", so no gkrellm2 is compiled?
I had to change package.use accordingly and recompiling makes gkrellm2
then.

There are no ebuild specific default USE flags; it's your system
(/etc/make.conf and /etc/portage/package.use) that hasn't "X" as a
default USE flag (i.e. what you call "-X as default", but that
inversion isn't actually 100% correct). You probably configured it that
way.

Hi Hans-Werner !

 thanks for your reply!

 If I set "X" by default in /etc/make.conf...what happens to programs,
 which simply doesn't know anything about "X" ... for example 
 "basename" (...yes, I know, "basename" is an builtin in most
 shells...just an example).

 Will make.conf override /usr/portagte/<category>/<progrname>/*.ebuild
 ? If so, what happens, if the gentoo developpers have set "-X"
 intentionally in the *ebuild file and I have set "X" (globally!) in
 make.conf. 

 Currently I am a little anxious to set "X" (or unset it or set/unset
 any other USE flag in make.conf due to its global character). 

 On the other side I dont like to compile qt three times for example,
 due of missing USE flags...(initial compilation, openssl was
 missing, opengl was missing).

 (*NO* cristism on the gentoo people intended !!! :)

 Keep hacking!

They ignore it. Ebuilds basically just use a few functions to determine
whether a certain USE flag is or is not set. Developers use this for
making the script in the ebuild behave differently. So if there's no
check for a certain USE flag, it will just have no consequences.

Not in that sense. As I said, ebuilds don't have "default flags", just
your system has. If a certain USE flag combination is considered bad
(or just concurrent) by an ebuild's developer, it just has to be
sorted out by the script in the ebuild. In fact, /etc/make.conf
(and /etc/portage/package.use) cannot override ebuild scripting logic.
The logic just respects a few settings in these.

I can understand that. I think it is advised to use "X" for a machine
that is used as a desktop. You can check what would happen by including
it by setting USE as (temporary) environment variable:

$ USE="X" emerge -pvN world

this would show any package affected by such a change. Same goes for
unsetting flags ("-blah"). Before actually emerging packages for real,
enter the flags to your make.conf.

For package specific settings, use /etc/portage/package.use. This
overrides /etc/make.conf w/ regard to USE flags. Again, you can set and
unset them there.

Note that there is a default for USE flags in your profile. To start
from scratch (not advised for newcomers), you can prefix
your /etc/make.conf's USE setting with "-*". That would disable all
default USE flags from the profile. See "man portage" for details on
the files involved.

As an example, my /etc/make.conf's USE is just:
USE="-* nptl nptlonly ssl zlib jpeg png alsa ncurses pic nls pam"
All the other flags are configured per-package.

Yes, more possibilities to configure packages lead to more
possibilities to misconfigure them :-) BTW, I *did* tell that "-*"
isn't the way to go for everyone, right? ;-)

Since the 2006.1 profile only the 2006.1/desktop has the X USE flag activated 
as a default setting.  The server comes without it.  So, either you have not 
yet migrated to the new 2006.1/desktop profile, or you have set up your 
machine as a server.

Hi Mick,

 you won 100 points ! :)

 Yes, true, I set it up as server....

 Is the following scheme sufficient to migrate to an desktop system:
 ?

 Change profile und /etc to 2006.1/desktop
 emerge -vN world
 
 Thank you very much for your help in advance !

Try this:

# rm /etc/make.profile && \ 
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop \
/etc/make.profile

# source /etc/profile

# emerge -uNpv world (or what ever you want to emerge).

Check the USE flags, see if they make sense, add/remove from /etc/make.conf, 
or /etc/portage/package.use, rinse and repeat . . .

[Iain Buchanan]

don't forget to try out

emerge --newuse -p world

to see what happens after you make global USE flag changes.
