I did the first few steps in the first post to get the ebuilds, but when I try to 'emerge -pv hal-cvs' I get:

you havent placed the ebuilds in a valid portage_overlay, edit the PORTAGE_OVERLAY variable in make.conf

Just a tip to those having trouble with this, I emerged the breakmygentoo builds and had to

emerge kdelibs

to fix a QT Development library error message

and

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge pyrex

Although I dont like using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS which is why i had the problem in the first place echo "pyrex ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords is much better imho.

Has the problem with discs not being umount been addressed?

Could you precise your question? Normally discs should get umounted on eject, yes.
Some CD players refuse to eject in the CVS version. Someone is trying to fix this. If you suffer by this issue, please use the 0.3 release version (ebuild is in the tarball), that version hasnt got the problem it seems.

Sorry, I was thinking about too many different things when I wrote that post.

What I mean is if the disc will be unmounted when you press the eject button on the drive. I can unmount and eject the disc by right clicking on the icon and selecting eject, but I get an error that says 'Unable to eject'. But I can't unmount and eject the disc by pressing the eject button on the disc drive and when I use 'umount /mnt/dvd' or 'umount /mnt/cdr' in console the desktop icon disappears but the drive doesn't unmount and I still can't get my disc out. The Disc Mounter utility in Gnome unmounts the disc, but doesn't always eject it.

I have downloaded and installed ivman-0.3, but I still get the same thing. Unless I did something wrong, which is always a possibility.

Thank You for your work on this! It looks very promising!

Ok - just upgraded to gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7, thus supermount has been removed so i tried this - in IvmConfigMappings.xml i removed the comment tags around the /dev/hdc line (correct dev entry for my cdrom)
In /etc/conf.d/ivman i changed the IVUSER and IVGROUP to match my own username/group, i am using udev and the output to dbus-monitor --system for when i put a cd in and eject it with the button is

Could you set "fork" to "false" and "debug" to "true" in IvmConfigBase.xml, run 'ivman' in a console window and look at the output? Maybe you can get somethin out of that...
If not, please post the output (when inserting a cd of course)

Actually, just emerge ivman-cvs again (using the updated sources, which will be fetched automatically), etc-update, and try if you can eject

If not -> please also try running with 'debug' to 'true' and fork' to 'false', in a console.

the newest cvs causes trouble when for me when compiling.

eikketk · Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2004 7:29 am Post subject:

Thats a known 'bug', altough its not really a bug.
2 solutions: get automake 1.8.3 (1.8.5 wont work, need an autotools guru

), or alter the ebuild, add 'WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.7"' in front of ./autogen.sh

the compile worked fine with the line modified properly.

However ejecting the cd still causes issues.

I still cant press the eject button and the cd pop out.

However when i set forking to false and debug to true it works :/

out is like so.

Just downloaded the new ebuilds dated jun 20 2004. when I attempt to emerge it, it fails looking for fluidcvs.eclass which does not exist. Any ideas.

WooHoo!!! It works! I push the eject button on the drive and the disc gets unmounted and ejected.

Thank You!

has anyone noticed a pause during boot with lvman set to start in the default boot level? laptop would stard dbus,HAL and ivman, then move onto i2c at which point it would pause for a min or two then continue - removing the 3 from my default runlevel removed the pause...
