[Systemd]

Did you set the kernel settings before installing systemd?

[Openvpn missing in Gnome Networkmanager]

Indeed, you must install the networkmanager package with the USE="plugins_openvpn" to bring support for that.

[gcc with gcj (for pdftk and impressive)]

Consider using mcpdf instead of pdftk. The reason is explained in the bug link you posted.

[VGL/Bumblebee need xdm]

Edit /etc/conf.d/xdm to use the prefered display manager (KDM, GDM, LightDM, etc.), add the service to the default level:

rc-update add xdm default

It also must be started. And add your user to the bumblebee group.

Everything must be work fine.

[Set Grub Theme via /etc/boot.conf ?]

Is there a way to setting the Grub GFX Theme using files such as /etc/boot.conf ? Or adding some other entries such as memtest+.

 

Thanks :D

[Can't share wired network with a wifi access point in NetworkManager (KDE)]

I followed that tutorial: http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2013/12/19/howto-share-ethernet-via-wifi-with-networkmanager-in-kde/

 

And compiled with the necessary flags, and also activated the package forwarding. However, I created the access point, as mentioned on that link, then I connected from my mobile phone, and it's working, but it can't surf the web. A connection without forwarding packages.

Checked iptables, and everything is clean.

 

Thanks.

[dev-python/imaging does not install "Imaging.h", "ImPlatform.h"]

Ok, but at least, if some packages are working fine as they where (as happened with Gentoo), I don't know why the modifications done, for example, with imaging. Indeed, it's using the former name (now it's called Pillow).

[Why don't recent GCC versions support compiling? (and some workaround)]

Well, I understand, while Gentoo's GCC is working for toolchains, everything's ok :)

[Tr4ouble with Java]

In a few words: Chromium, since release 36, doesn't support NPAPI plugins (Netscape), but use PPAPI plugins (Peppermint). The ns-plugins in java, means for Netscape, so Chromium/Chrome won't support it since then.

 

The only remaining options are:

 

• Using another browser that supports Netscape plugins.
• Waiting for a PPAPI plugin for Java.

[Why don't recent GCC versions support compiling? (and some workaround)]

As an Arduino developer, I use crossdev for creating toolchains (in this case, avr), but then I found recent versions (from 4.6.4) don't support cross-compiling, and I don't know why.

4.6.2-r2 has some errors at compiling, and I had (for a while) to use a pretty older version, 4.3.3.

 

Anyway, as a workaround, I had to download the Gentoo GCC ebuilds (that support toolchain), and all works flawlessly.

Also, I made a script for that.

#!/bin/bash

URL="data.gpo.zugaina.org/gentoo/sys-devel/gcc/"
#URL="sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-devel/gcc/"
PORTDIR="/usr/local/portage/cross-avr"
wget -r --no-parent --reject "index*" --quiet "http://$URL"
if [[ -e "$PORTDIR/gcc" && -L "$PORTDIR/gcc" ]];then
    rm -v $PORTDIR/gcc
fi
cp -r $URL $PORTDIR
if [[ "$?" == "0" ]];then
    echo "Success!"
else
    echo "Something failed"
fi
echo "Cleaning..."
rm -rv $URL

Now, my question is: it will be (re)supported in future ebuilds for, at least, most of the Funtoo GCC ebuilds?

[dev-python/imaging does not install "Imaging.h", "ImPlatform.h"]

You're welcome :D

 

Also, there's something I can't understand: Why Funtoo imaging package does not generating the headers as the Gentoo ebuild does. Anyone knows?

[dev-python/imaging does not install "Imaging.h", "ImPlatform.h"]

The same thing happend to me.

I reported it as a bug in the bug tracker, and they said the newest version of uniconvertor will be masked for now.

Meanwhile, as a workaround, I created the imaging-headers ebuild. That's on my overlay:

 

https://github.com/jorgicio/jorgicio-gentoo

 

Install it, (together with imaging itself and python-imaging), then compile the newest version of uniconvertor, and all works like a charm.
