I made a gentoo installation and once I emerged syslog-ng, just after doing a rc-update add syslog-ng, system said that it didn't need it since sysklogd was already providing logging. Do I just have to unmerge my syslog-ng to get rid of this message each time my system boots ??

not really but i would do so just to avoid being annoyed and the possibility of something on the uncanny side occurring. Actually it is basically siple to rectify
Code:
rc-update del syslog-ng default

should prevent anything from occurring.
I could be incorrect inmy assumptions

I tryied:
Quote:

rc-update del syslog-ng default

But it still stays. I unmerge the syslog-ng and now my thought is to maybe delete the file in /etc but not 100% sure. Someone can confirm with me.

Code:

>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
 * Caching service dependencies...
 *  Service 'sysklogd' already provide 'logger'!;
 *  Not adding service 'syslog-ng'...

Actually I'm wondering where sysklogd comes from, it hasn't always been like this, has it?

rm /etc/init.d/sysklogd should solve the problem...

Sounds like it may have been an error in dependencies when the 2004.2 stage 3 tarballs were created - one rogue app probably asked for virtual/logger which installed sysklogd.

Thing is I don't want to remove sysklogd, I want to remove syslog-ng. Don't forget that I unmerge syslog-ng.

So how about rm /etc/init.d/syslog-ng? Portage doesn't delete stuff in /etc/ by itself...

Thats exactly what I just did and it seems that it worked. Are you familiar with mozilla-thunderbird ? It seems that I can play sound when new message arrives. I browse for the wav I wanted but does work, any Idea ?? All my sounds works no.1 in everything exept for that. Seems that the sounds that thunderbird browse for is change to a url format once selected
