[gentoo-ppc-user] Where to set console blanking timeout?
Hi, I have gentoo working okay on my iMac G5 (ppc64), but I cannot figure out how to change the default screen blanking timeout. After 10 minutes the screen goes blank, and if I hit any key it comes back. Can someone please tell me where I need to change this setting? Is it an option I need to pass to the framebuffer on boot? Note, btw, this is in a virtual console with no X running. If I run X, DPMS works correctly, but if I have any of the DPMS timeouts set to over 10 minutes, the screen still blanks after 10 minues, so I suspect there an overriding framebuffer timeout somewhere I need to change. (If I have the dpms settings lower than 10 minutes, it does blank and/or turn off as expected.) Thanks for your help, Chris -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Creating RAID devices
Me:
Hallo, I recently passed to udev, so now I cannot use my Raid.
Gentoo si installed in /dev/hda.
The Raid is a striping raid composed of /dev/sda /dev/sdb and consists
of 4 partitions. I created it installing windows (work reason).
The SATA controller is a Silicon 3512.
Before, with devfs, I used dmraid to create
dev/mapper/silsomething{1,2,3,4} and mounted direclty using this
devices. I had to remove dmraid eBuild from /usr/local/portage (or
something like that) because it blocked the emerge -uD world, and the
devices now are disappeared (i.e. using dmraid the devices are not
created). I need to create them manually but I have not found the right
way to do it.
I someone knows how to create this devices, please tell me.
*
By the advices of you (Scott Stork), Richard Fish and A. Khattri I
checked the kernel .config to see if there was this line
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y.
I found this line compiled as module without autoloading at boot. Now,
with the kernel 2.6.10-r6 using dmraid I have the devices.
With this new one dmraid dmsetup says there are no devices found. At
boot time while autodetecting md array no error is encountered.

This affects only output via syslog. During the md autorun, the kernel hasn't
even finished booting. The post was about output from dmesg, the kernel
ringbuffer. AFAIK there's no way around a kernel patch.
I use the following instructions to filter out the PHY reset until link
up messages that I get when eth0 is up (required for ifplugd to
function), but not connected to anything. It can easily be adapted for
the RAID messages.
# The eth reset messages also bug me...
filter not_eth_reset {
not(match(PHY reset until link up));
};
log { source(src); filter(not_eth_reset); destination(messages); };
Nice example though. Haven't used syslog filtering by now.

[gentoo-user] It's baaaaack...! (Python 2.4.1)
Hi all, I seem to have painted myself into a corner, and hope that someone can see a way out before I repeat my previous mistakes. The short version is that, after my previous thread about removing an extra version of Python (2.4.1 when I already had 2.3.5 installed), Portage now wants to re-emerge Python 2.4.1, and I can't seem to prevent it. At this time, I do not want to emerge Python 2.4.1 to a new slot, as it breaks Pysol seemingly unrepairably (java-config also broke, but was repaired by a re-emerge, Pysol was not repaired by a re-emerge). Yes, I know Pysol is not important per se, but I don't want to break a package I use, and the breakage indicates that other things that I value more highly might get broken (I just don't know what they are). The long version of what I was trying to do and the current situation: This all started because I wanted a reliable system for automounting removeable media (CD/DVD). I love supermount, but I'm trying to live in the present. Submount works, but is not reliable (stops working after some period of time, dismounts automatically but doesn't mount automatically), and my previous experience with hal/dbus/ivman is not good. However, there is a new version of ivman which sounds really good, but it's only available from the gentopia overlay. Fine. Installing that upgraded hal, dbus, the new ivman, and installed Python 2.4.1. Except that dbus wouldn't compile with the python USE flag set, so I removed it, which allowed it to compile, but meant (afaics) that I no longer needed Python 2.4.1. So, I got rid of it, as you know from my Unmerging 'extra' Python thread. The whole hal/dbus/ivman scheme isn't working anyway atm because (to the best of my understanding): 1) I have not yet configured, compiled and installed a kernel with the correct version of the inotify patch that either hal, dbus or gamin needs (I've emerged mm-sources 2.6.12-something but have not yet compiled it); 2) GNOME is broken atm (which hopefully I can fix when I get the kernel upgraded and the gentopia backend working); 3) KDE doesn't like the upgraded versions of hal and dbus, and so the media kio slaves don't work on my current setup. #3 is the lynchpin here, as an emerge sync has just made KDE 3.4.1 available. This wants to downgrade dbus and hal, which is fine, and wants to install Python 2.4.1, which is not. I then removed the gentopia overlay, and ran the potential uaDtv world again; now Portage wants to downgrade hal, dbus, ivman, and gamin (also fine), but still wants to emerge Python 2.4.1.

All I got is PORTDIR=/usr/portage No, what I was asking is what this line says: SYNC=rsync://some_portage_rsync_mirror/gentoo-portage The idea being that perhaps you were attempting to sync with a mirror that is far away from you, and that server perhaps is overloaded, or there is a transmission problem between you and it, due to the distance. For instance, I'm in Western Europe, so setting my rsync server to a mirror in Asia or South America is just asking for more problems than I need, because in order for me to communicate with a server so far away, my packets have to travel via Internet nodes/servers which could go down through no fault of mine or the server I'm trying to connect to. In such a case, someone in the area (Asia or South America) might themselves be able to connect to the server in question, but I would not be (because they don't have to travel through the node that I do to connect). So I was just trying to confirm that this was not (or was) a possible source of your problem. 10 minutes: After 4 hrs it quit. A list of /usr/portage revealed no changes.

That indicates, afaik, a (usually temporary) server problem, and happened to me a couple of days ago. Since today we have all noticed that KDE 3.4.1 was released, and that's a lot of packages, it's quite possible that you tried to contact the server at the time it was trying to update itself, which is, not surprisingly, likely to fail. How long did your sync today take, and does an emerge -up world or emerge -ua world seem to indicate that it was successful (that packages you have installed have updates available)? Don't worry, the -p switch stands for --pretend, and the -a switch stands for --ask, so nothing will be updated without your approval by running either of the commands.

Hi, I can't stand it anymore, so I thought I'd fish here for ideas. The long and the short of it is that I cannot load the GNOME desktop as a user (works fine as root). The splash screen comes up, but only 2 icons show in the progress bar before the splash disappears-- Sessions, and Window manager, iirc. Already not good (no Nautilus, no Metacity, no gnome-panel...). Then the panel tries to come up, the panel backgrounds (currently set as the default top and bottom panels) display (empty), then disappear. This happens about 5 or 6 times (I suspect related to how many panel applets are attempting to load). No desktop appears, no panels load, right-click on the desktop produces no menu (since Nautilus isn't running, presumably) and since I don't know the GNOME shortcut key to open a Run Box, I pretty much have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace out to GDM and load another WM. This happens with both the regular GNOME entry and the Failsafe GNOME entry. I have deleted ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd, ~/.gnome, ~/.gnome2, ~/.gnome2_private, and ~/.gnome_private and allowed my login attempt to regenerate them (supposedly), but this had no effect. Since GNOME loads fine when root logs in, GNOME itself is presumably not broken, but rather the user is. What's left to delete and regenerate?

Personally, I use dmix, although it can be a pain (lots of trial and

applications (except for amarok, which works best with the xine engine),
by specifying pcm.dmixer as the output device for artsd in control panel.

Thank you, Antonino I can't speak for Andreas, of course, but for myself it's not an issue because 1) I don't generally need to mix sounds (I'm not one to watch a movie in mPlayer with kopete or whatever running in the background); 2) I don't generally use system sounds anyway because my PC is next to my boyfriend's. He uses speakers and I use headphones to keep the sound pollution in our computer room to a minimum. I usually don't bother to wear the 'phones unless I specifically need them for a game, movie, or music, so there's not much point in enabling system or application sounds; 3) I invested some 30 Euros in a soundcard that does hardware mixing (could have spent less, actually, but I liked this card and I really didn't want a Soundblaster Live! variant). Vast improvement over my onboard sound chip. So I would answer that you might consider eliminating the need for sound mixing, or investing in hardware that actually supports features you want to use.

Hi, Personally, I use dmix, every Distro should preconfigure DMIX now, it's the right thing. although it can be a pain (lots of trial and error) to get setup and working correctly. That's true :) . I also use artsd for KDE applications (except for amarok, which works best with the xine engine), by specifying pcm.dmixer as the output device for artsd in control panel.

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Can't load GNOME as user
Holly Bostick wrote: Hi, I can't stand it anymore, so I thought I'd fish here for ideas. The long and the short of it is that I cannot load the GNOME desktop as a user (works fine as root). The splash screen comes up, but only 2 icons show in the progress bar before the splash disappears-- Sessions, and Window manager, iirc. Already not good (no Nautilus, no Metacity, no gnome-panel...). Then the panel tries to come up, the panel backgrounds (currently set as the default top and bottom panels) display (empty), then disappear. This happens about 5 or 6 times (I suspect related to how many panel applets are attempting to load). No desktop appears, no panels load, right-click on the desktop produces no menu (since Nautilus isn't running, presumably) and since I don't know the GNOME shortcut key to open a Run Box, I pretty much have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace out to GDM and load another WM. This happens with both the regular GNOME entry and the Failsafe GNOME entry. I have deleted ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd, ~/.gnome, ~/.gnome2, ~/.gnome2_private, and ~/.gnome_private and allowed my login attempt to regenerate them (supposedly), but this had no effect. Since GNOME loads fine when root logs in, GNOME itself is presumably not broken, but rather the user is. What's left to delete and regenerate? Does anybody know what I might do to fix this (short of creating a new user, which I'm not going to do :) )? Thanks for any help, Holly, hanging out in IceWM while KDE 3.4.1 compiles.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 3.4.1 released
Well, there is one reason...VMWare still doesn't support ALSA, and the vmwaredsp wrapper library only works with esd or artsd, so I have to keep one of them around. DMIX does not make the soundservers unnecessary. Why? A program which needs esound or arts or gstreamer or JACK cannot output sound via dmix. But DMIX makes it possible to * run several soundservers at the same time * that more than one application which does not use a soundserver but tries to access an ALSA device directly can output sound simultaneously Remaining problems: Applications which still need OSS can output sound via the ALSA OSS emulation, but if I'm right it is still difficult to pipe it through DMIX But anyway, DMIX solves a lot or problems and really is a great step forward. And to those who think DMIX is unneccessary, think about the following constellation. You're listening to ogg files while your collegue tries to call you via a softphone.

Re: [gentoo-user] Creating RAID devices
Emanuele Morozzi schrieb:
Me:
Hallo, I recently passed to udev, so now I cannot use my Raid.
Gentoo si installed in /dev/hda.
The Raid is a striping raid composed of /dev/sda /dev/sdb and consists
of 4 partitions. I created it installing windows (work reason).
The SATA controller is a Silicon 3512.
Before, with devfs, I used dmraid to create
dev/mapper/silsomething{1,2,3,4} and mounted direclty using
this
devices. I had to remove dmraid eBuild from /usr/local/portage (or
something like that) because it blocked the "emerge -uD world", and the
devices now are disappeared (i.e. using dmraid the devices are not
created). I need to create them manually but I have not found the right
way to do it.
I someone knows how to create this devices, please tell me.
*
By the advices of you (Scott Stork), Richard Fish and A. Khattri I
checked the kernel .config to see if there was this line
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y.
I found this line compiled as module without autoloading at boot. Now,
with the kernel 2.6.10-r6 using dmraid I have the devices.
With this new one dmraid dmsetup says there are no devices found.
At boot time while autodetecting md array no error is encountered.
I use the dmraid tools, but they are not in portage yet. Why not, I
don't know.
There has been a bug open in bugzilla about this for a long time, but
nothing (noticabliy) is happening with this.
I however, boot from such a partition, so that ebuild alone doesn't
help me.
I went the route of using an initrd which runs "dmraid -ay" which
creates the device nodes.
I would reccommend to you, that you also use an initrd containing
dmraid, even if you don't boot from such a partition.
This way the devices are available when the normal system starts.
I started off using the script and linuxrc found here
http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/~gerte/gen2dmraid/
There is also at least one thread about this in the gentoo forums.
Here is one for example:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-258981-highlight-dmraid.html
I have however since then created my own script which modifies the
initrd created by genkernel.
I don't use genkernel to make the kernels themselves, but it is the
best way in my book to make a initrd in gentoo.
One world of advice, regardless which way you choose, be sure to use
the newest dmraid version.
The older versions had various bugs.
My favorite bug was one that setup the raid block size incorrectly
while doing mirroring, on two different controlers I use.
It isn't funny, when you buy two 400GB drives, and when mirrored, you
only see 200GB in linux.
Otherwise, you could always go back to using devfs.
I think devfs will still be supported for a little while.
Maybe by then some gentoo dev will decide to do something about these
problems.

Scott

It seems logical that if I don't know the flags used for a binary build that somewhere along the way I'm going to miss some dependency on my system. Actually, revdep-rebuild doesn't care about USE flags or /var/db at all. All it checks is that the dynamic linking can be satisfied. With the exception of openoffice-bin, when revdep-rebuild indicates that it wants to rebuild a -bin package it means that the ebuild is potentially missing dependencies. The reason that I state potentially is that sometimes the libraries are placed in a non-standard place by the ebuild and revdep-rebuild is unaware of that non-standard location when checking the dynamic linking.
