Gentoo updated the way Java is configured. To fix it up I did this:
emerge -C java-config
emerge -1 java-config:0 java-config:2
java-check-environment
java-config-1 --set-system-vm 1I now have blackdown selected for 1.4, and sun for 1.6. Eclipse is working again.
Silly 8GB pci SD card jumped to a different /dev location. To track it down:
tail -f /var/log/messages
(insert USB stick/card/etc)
(you should get a [dev] location, mine looked like:)
Aug 25 20:31:04 wimpy sdg: sdg1
emacs /etc/fstab
# MDM sync is important so that changes are immediate -
# otherwise they won't happen until you unmount -
# ie you'll lose changes if you don't properly unmount.
/dev/sdg1 /media/8gb_sdhc vfat auto,noatime,user,exec,sync 0 0
mount /media/8gb_sdhc
Eventually I should play with udev rules to better identify each device and mount to a specific location. See here.
Otherwise, apps like k3b won’t be able to access it. You have to log out/in after editing /etc/group.
I wondered if FF3 was unmasked yet
Ran [eix firefox].
Found I was missing a FF2 bump.
tdm2 ~ # elogviewer
Elogviewer should help you not to miss important information like:
If you have just upgraded from an older version of python you
will need to run:
/usr/sbin/python-updater
please do run it and restart elogviewer.
tdm2 ~ # /usr/sbin/python-updater
* Starting Python Updater from 2.4 to 2.5 :
Blocked by fluxspace (which is nowhere in portage now).
[emerge –unmerge fluxspace]
Try [python-updater] again.
More blocks (postgresql). It’s older, kill it (let it get pulled in again if needed)….
More blocks (libcap…)…
and now emerging 65 packages! yikes…
UPDATE: Doing the update on desktop.
emerge –unmerge pessulus
emerge –unmerge deskbar-applet
emerge -Davu gnome-games
(3 blocks!)
emerge –unmerge gnome-applets gst-plugins-ugly totem
emerge -Davu gnome-games
74 packages! *gulp* here we go…
looking good. Let’s push my luck…
/usr/sbin/python-updater && emerge -Du mozilla-firefox && emerge_all_minprompts
Finally found [kdepim-meta], which I could emerge without blocks after adding kpilot to package.keywords.
Also added [pda] USE flag to make.conf.
