Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Kernel panic booting minimal iso on dual G5
Hello I just picked up a dual G5 (the 2.7 GHz flavor) and I'm interested in running gentoo on it as well as OS X. I've been using x86 and x86_gentoo for quite some time now (back since 1.2). However the ppc64 minimal iso from the mirrors gives a kernel panic during bootup on this hardware, with the call stack indicating a driver probe of some sort. I think that the 2.7 GHz machines need a newer kernel. You might want to look into the ChangeLog of linux-2.6.12-rc5, I know that there are fixes for exactly those machines in it. You can then build such kernel and netboot it. If you can't build one, you can ask in #gentoo-ppc64 on Freenode.

Re: [gentoo-user] pernicious printer problem [SOLVED]

Not that I'm complaining - I knew that when I chose Gentoo for my new computer, and I learned a lot so far. Printer setup however, was a breeze. It just went according to the manual; configuring the paralell port, drivers installed with CUPS and foomatic. No problem at all. Well, just one - the printer does not print. Any print job goes into the printing queue and then moves to the completed printing jobs folder. However, the printer just sits there, doing nothing (not even blinking a led), looking smug. Now, I grant that the printer (a Lexmark Z42) is a POS and in addition, I'm saving a fortune on ink. On the other hand, my wife is starting to make sarcastic comments and reminds me daily that she _could_ print under windows. My system has an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, with an AMD64 processor, running Gentoo amd64. CUPS gave no suspicious output (even after setting output to debug2). /var/log/messages told me that /dev/lp0 was successfully created, and lsmod shows that lp, parport, and parport_pc are loaded. Any ideas how to diagnose the problem? Finally, I found the time to track down this one. Owing to some foomatic weirdness the ppd file for the printer was not installed. The really annoying bug however, seems to come from CUPS, which did not complain at all that no ppd file was found, silently did send nothing to the printer, and filed the job as successfully completed. Hooray! At last, I can print (well, I could print if my children hadn't used up all the printer paper for their doodlings).

Yes, and I'll be taking that, too. So I should quickpkg 2.3? and Portage? Fair enough. Just for your info, I went down this path like 2 weeks ago when I wanted something new (i can remember what was it but I reckon it was either gdekslets or some other app) and I just unmasked 2.4 and 2.3 stayed back. Of course I was surprised to still see 2.3 there so I promptly unmerge it. Did I see issues? You Bet! Epylog didn't work and so didn't gdekslets. The solution was to re-emerge both of these (revdep-rebuild didn't help at all) and then everything works. That's my experience. Thanks for the tip-- in the case that I want to emerge the newest gDesktlets in order to try that spiffy new RSS tickerbar and get off of KDE finally (I really like having a ticker and specifically a scrolling bar, and Knewsticker doesn't so much like running under other DEs), and so wind up with the same situation again, I'll keep it in mind. In any case, I did quickpkg python-2.3.5 and portage, but it was not necessary to use the backups; the unmerge of Python 2.4.1 went fine and all I had to do was re-emerge pysol and java-config.

the RAID messages.

[gentoo-user] HELP! - driver not working after boot but works when modprobed - did emerge -C devfsd cause this?
Hi, I have a Gentoo machine that used to run devfsd but was converted to udev to run MythTV. The conversion seemed to have worked fine. devfsd was disabled and a kernel built that used udev instead. The machine is using a development version of the ivtv driver not available yet from portage due to the PVR capture card choice. The driver was built and installed as per the included instructions. The machine was working fine. It continued to work after many reboots, etc., so everything was fine as far as I could tell. Later, when doing a clean up on the world file, the command emerge -pv --depclean told me that it wanted to remove devfsd. I didn't do it at first but later decided to let it remove devfsd in favor of depending on udev. At first it appeared that there were no problems but recently it seems that the ivtv driver is not loading correctly at boot time. The driver is loaded and I do not see any error messages but when attempting to capture video I get bad audio and a blue screen. After doing an rmmod ivtv modprobe ivtv both the audio and video are perfect. My question is whether the emerge -C devfsd has somehow caused this misoperation or is it more likely that some other update has caused this problem? I have tried re-emerging devfsd and also re-emerging udev but nothing I do so far seems to get it back to where it was. I really do not understand how udev works other than there are some rules that create devices. Is it possible that with udev the required v4l devices are somehow not created and the driver install at boot time doesn't find what it needs thus causing this problem? I hope someone can help shed some light on this. Let me know what sort of info might help about the machine. It's a fully up to date mostly non-~x86 box running 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 and is an Nforce-2 MB. It's been up and running Gentoo since it's birth almost 2 years ago.

Do you just unpack and run the install scripts a la slack-ware? -mw Hi Maxim, Really, there are very few programs that you (as a general user) might like that are not found within Portage. Certainly Firefox is-- as a precompiled binary as well as a source tarball. So frankly I don't know what has happened when you upgraded some otherwise-installed Firefox via some internal Firefox script to upgrade to some unknown version. Meaning, I don't know what files and folders you actually have, rather than the defaults installed by Portage. Certainly I've had similar problems when my Portage-installed Azureus client updates itself via the update utility (rather than through Portage). It's just not a good idea. That said, the first thing that occurs to me is that the Sage extension (and possibly all of your extensions) may only be installable by root, because the file where this global extension is kept is only writeable by root. Most extensions install to ~/.mozilla/firefox/extensions, but some require being in the application's directory rather than the user directory, due to needing access to internal program functions. In the case of a non-standard install, it's quite possible that all extensions need to be installed by root. What you describe is the behaviour I've sometimes seen when an extension must be installed by root and cannot be installed by a user (depends on extension; some of them try and fail to install, some won't even try). It's also possible that the download has been blocked; the bar that appears on top of a page when Firefox blocks a download from a non-authorized site is easy to miss. If this is the case, it's also easy to fix; the bar tells you where to click and then displays the Reject/Allow dialog, so you can easily allow the site through (if you trust it). By default, the only site allowed is the new https site (Mozilla Update), so if you aren't using that, you probably should be. However, I know of several other semi-official sites, such as Extension Room, which used to be official but are now deprecated by the new site, yet are still useful on occasion. Such sites will be blocked for downloading by the browser until you authorize them, but I see no issue with authorizing them if needed or wanted. So it's probably one of those two things. But if I was you, I would emerge sync and install Firefox through Portage before going any further anyway. Hope this helps. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This is indeed a classic pentium chip with mmx added. You can use

for those packages that support it.
Actually, since it has MMX, use {-mcpu/-mtune/-march}=pentium-mmx.

This is indeed a classic pentium chip with mmx added. You can use
-mcpu=pentium (or -march=pentium), optionally adding the mmx USE flag
for those packages that support it.
Actually, since it has MMX, use {-mcpu/-mtune/-march}=pentium-mmx.
Worked for me. Additionally, add the CPU flags to your USE flags
(especially mmx).

[gentoo-user] Clarification on iso downloads
I have been interested in trying out gentoo for quite a while, but have been having some trouble making out just which files I need. The book seems clear for most everything, but as regards my particular situation it is not so. I want to install in the typical way, from source packages rather than with precompiled binaries. However, I have a lowly dialup, and cannot even imagine trying to download each package at that speed. I do have some indirect access to a computer with a faster connection, just a day or two a month, but I cannot use torrent or be there to watch it and click on a bunch of links. So, what I am having to do is know in advance exactly which iso I need, and then start the download at the beginning of the day and then later burn the disc to bring home. The book mentions a networkless install, but this seems to be a binary package installation. That is the inference I am drawing in regards to the universal install disc and the packages disc. Am I wrong? The day I have access to a faster connection is coming up this Wednesday and I am hoping to clarify what I need so that I can consider trying out a Gentoo install. So, in short, which specific iso images can I use to achieve a reasonably complete non-binary Gentoo installation without any internet access whatsoever? I very much appreciate any help that can be offered. patrick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The one thing you could try is pre-downloading all the tarballs you are likely to need for the bootstrap, kernel and various utils you need, burn them to a CD, then put them in the /usr/portage/distfiles during the install... I may have to look into that. Unfortunately that many individual files is tough to download as I cannot monitor the computer I am using and generally have to go in early, click a download and come back much later to burn it. It is a Windows machine which makes it tougher for me to use things like wget scripts which could be put together for my computer. But perhaps it is an option I can work on.
