[gentoo-ppc-user] powerbook 12 lcd+CRT

2005-07-16 Thread Matias Pablo Brutti
Hi , I recently got an Apple Powerbook 12 and  I being trying to make
the videoout to work with the CRT I manage to use the CRT in console
mode , but when I go to the X , the xorg start on the laptop monitor and
not on the monitor attached any idea why that could be happening ?
Is there a way to use them in xinerama ?

Also , any news on airport extreme modules ? should I get a usb wireless
and what should it be to be safe that it will work on ppc + Gentoo linux.

thanks


Matias

There's lots affected so hopefully it will be fixed soon.  In the
meantime roll back to previous xorg and mask the current one out.

Re: [gentoo-user] eAccelerator/Zend outdated

2005-07-16 Thread Catalin Trifu




  Hi,


 Did you check php.ini. Looks to me like there is some mixup between
installed versions of PHP.
 You should not rename eaccelerator.so to mmcache.so.
 Check php.ini and load the appropiate extensions.

I had recently changed some themes around and setup the background

[gentoo-user] most of /usr/portage gone--why? and what now}

2005-07-16 Thread Allan Gottlieb
This fine morning I awoke to find that in my fairly new gentoo install
nearly all of /usr/portage is gone.

bash-2.05b# ls -lA /mnt/gentoo-new/usr/portage
total 20
drwxrwsr-x  4 root portage 16384 Jul 12 22:10 distfiles
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Jul 11 23:04 packages
bash-2.05b#

The distfiles directory has many (appropriate) files and packages has
the one package it should.  The partition has plenty of room (almost
7GB).

I run esync from cron (anacron) when I boot and it failed (see below
for the mail sent by anacron) telling me to see emerge-sync.log.  Here
I see some failures and a statement that a new version of portage is
available (again see below).

I still have my previous gentoo (using it right now) on a different
partition.  It started from one of the 2004 profiles, but has been
kept up to date until a very few weeks ago when I started cutting over
to my new system.  I can certainly run an
   emerge --tree --ask --verbose --newuse --update --deep world
but wanted to do as little as possible before asking for advice.

My main question is whether I should copy files from the old
/usr/portage to the new one or is there better method to proceed.
I keep extensive backups of all my files and all of /etc, but do not
backup the system files (other than having an older version of gentoo
that is kept reasonably up to date).

Thanks for any help.

Renaming the file didn't hurt anything. The ebuild creates the .so with 
one name and inserts another one into the config.

Did you run revdep-rebuild after the update?  That's always a good idea when

OK, now make runs with -j1.

Unfortunately, on my machine, it takes a long long time for the first 3K

BTW is there a way to resume the build process at the point where the error

There are tons of ways to do this but here's what I would do:

FEATURES=keepwork emerge --resume

The drawback is that with FEATURES=keepwork portage will not clean up builds in 
PORTAGE_TMPDIR so you will have to do that yourself in order to reclaim disk 
space.

  Any ideas?



Why are you loading the module in local.start?  Normally that is done by the 
alsasound service.  You should probably go through the alsa guide and make sure 
you've done everything there: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml  You 
can use the alsa-driver ebuild to rebuild your alsa drivers if necessary.

I will quote from info gcc

The following options control optimizations that may improve
performance, but are not enabled by any `-O' options.  This section
includes experimental options that may produce broken code.

snip

`-ftracer'
Perform tail duplication to enlarge superblock size. This
transformation simplifies the control flow of the function
allowing other optimizations to do better job.

Rebuild without experimental optimization options if you want real 
support! ;-

Pam and glibc are direct dependancies of samba that you upgraded.  I would roll 
those back one by one to see if that helps.  Do you have binary packages of the 
old versions (from quickpkg or FEATURES=buildpkg)?

Oh, and like Richard said, try some normal CFLAGS before you file bugs :-p.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Routing advice requested

2005-07-16 Thread George Garvey
   I just installed a T1 to a new ISP using a Sangoma CSU/DSU card.
   I thought I could use aliased IPs on existing gigE NICS on our LAN
to set up the hosts that need an internet routable presence.
   Maybe that can be done, but not by me. I don't understand enough. I
can get it to work on the system with the T1. But not on another
computer over the LAN.

   On the system with the T1, I have a gigE to the LAN, and one of the
ISP's IPs for asterisk (as an alias to the T1). That works okay. It
worked okay with the ISP's IP as an alias to eth0, too.
   Edited output from ifconfig:
  (this is the gigE NIC connected to a switch for our LAN)
eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:07:E9:19:F3:F5  
  inet addr:192.168.1.17  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

0.0.0.0 209.101.232.81  0.0.0.0 UG0  00 w1g1ppp

   The problem I'm having is with an alias on another computer that
needs to be on the internet. It is the IP 216.132.251.227. Traffic
internal to our LAN is routed to the computer that has that alias
(192.168.1.6). But, traffic coming from the internet gets to 209.101.232.82
and stops according to traceroute.
   I'm too ignorant to understand why the host route doesn't work for
packets coming from the T1 (from the internet), and get sent to the
computer that handles that IP. This is the latest in a series of
attempts. I've also tried putting the 216.132.251.224 network on the
LAN. I've tried using the 216.132.251.227's LAN address (192.168.1.6)
as a gateway for the host route. I've tried removing the
216.132.251.224 network route entirely, and just having host routes.

   What I was hoping to do was have one computer (192.168.1.17)
connected to the ISP with a T1, and serve as a router for the ISP's
IPs. That would also be connected to the internet with one of the ISP's
IPs for use by asterisk (216.132.251.226). This seems to be working
okay.
   I wanted another computer (192.168.1.6) to have an aliased ISP IP
(216.132.251.227) that would let that computer also have an internet
routable address. This is what I don't seem to be able to do. The
computer with the T1 doesn't seem to route packets from the internet
to the other computer over our LAN. It does for packets originating
from our LAN. But not for packets from the internet.
   I know my error is going to be obvious to everyone who actually
understands this stuff ;) I hope I've given the info to make things
clear.
   I can set up a small Fast enet switch for the ISP's network, I
guess. But I was hoping not to need to do that, and add more NICs to
the computers that eventually need to be on the internet. But maybe
that is what I need to do.
   Any and all advice (including things to read to decrease my
ignorance) appreciated.

Unless you're just experimenting, it's really a bad idea to use fringe CFLAGS 
that most other people aren't using.  If you have have binary packages of your 
old versions that weren't *noticeably* broken then that's a good place to 
start.  In the long run, you want to have most of your packages, expecially the 
core libraries, built with known safe CFLAGS.

[gentoo-user] gphoto2 large file problems ?

For a complete list of packages that should be rebuilt, you can run:

equery belongs `ldd /usr/sbin/smbd  | grep ' /' | awk '{print $3}'` | 
sort | uniq


This will print the name of every package that contains a library that 
smbd depends upon.


I would not rebuild the entire system at this point, but if -ftracer 
does turn out to be the source of your problem, then a rebuild should 
scheduled soon!

Linuxthreads are the *old* linux threading library and nplt is the *new* linux threading

AFAICT it's a drop in replacement for linuxthreads and it supposed to give

 linuxthreads and it supposed to give superior performance.  I'd recommend
 it.

but there is enough stuff out there, that does not work with ntpl. 
So recommending ntplonly is irresponsible.

No problems here.  I'd expect people to do their own research before making the 
switch.  Plus, you can swap in a linuxthreads glibc at any time if need be, 
right?

Re: [gentoo-user] most of /usr/portage gone--why? and what now}

2005-07-16 Thread William Kenworthy
If files have gone missing first step is fsck the disk just in case.
Next emerge sync if it works.  (dont use the fancy options until its
working again.)  Whats esync ??  I wouldnt trust it until you know
what happened.

You can copy the complete portage from another machine over the top
without problems - the rsync part of emerge does just that. If its not
to old, just change the profile link if necessary and emerge sync to
upgrade.

I upgrade portage as the first step after the sync whenever it appears:
portage upgrades often change some of the underlying structure (as well
as break things ...) 

There is also a rescue portage hidden somewhere in portage that can also
be downloaded - its a tarball of a basic portage with enough bits to
rescue a system thats lost its portage all together (I did this once
with rm -rf * in /usr/portage !)

 I run esync from cron (anacron) when I boot and it failed (see below
 for the mail sent by anacron) telling me to see emerge-sync.log.  Here
 I see some failures and a statement that a new version of portage is
 available (again see below).
 
 I still have my previous gentoo (using it right now) on a different
 partition.  It started from one of the 2004 profiles, but has been
 kept up to date until a very few weeks ago when I started cutting over
 to my new system.  I can certainly run an
emerge --tree --ask --verbose --newuse --update --deep world
 but wanted to do as little as possible before asking for advice.
 
 My main question is whether I should copy files from the old
 /usr/portage to the new one or is there better method to proceed.
 I keep extensive backups of all my files and all of /etc, but do not
 backup the system files (other than having an older version of gentoo
 that is kept reasonably up to date).
 
 Thanks for any help.

If you're like me then nptlonly works fine for everything you use.  You know 
that if a hypothetical nptl problem should arise, you have a quick and simple 
recovery plan.  I might not have switched if rollback wasn't so simple.

[gentoo-user] Can't login - needs pam_afs

2005-07-16 Thread Brett I. Holcomb
Yesterday I removed openafs as I haven't used it for ages.  However, now

I've googled on this and checked my /etc/pam.d/login file and it does

Assuming that afs in no longer in your emerge --info USE flags, 
emerge --newuse world should fix it.  Theoretically, in some cases 
you might have to add USE=-afs to make.conf in order to force afs to 
be disabled.

You can probably log in now that you remerged pam.  Like Mike said, it's always

Theoretically, some packages could have linked against afs even though they do

 Whats esync ??  I wouldnt trust it until you know what happened.

 Esync is a part of gentoolkit-- it runs emerge sync and outputs or mails
 you the updated package list (new and upgradeable packages). It's really
 not dangerous in and of itself.

It also runs eupdatedb, which indexes the packages so that a subsequent
  esearch package-name
goes much faster than
  emerge --search package-name

 Isn't what happened that the sync failed before it was able to import
 the new portage tree, but after it had removed the old one?

That is my theory as well

 Afaics, this is one of those head wound kinda problems (bleeds a lot
 and looks very scary, but not as serious as it seems at first glance).

Great description.

Thank you both.

I am guessing that the the updating portage cache error is due
to the previous failed emerge --sync.
Hence I ran an
  emerge --metadata
This succeeded.  I then ran
  eupdatedb
which also succeeded.

Running both
  esearch portage
and
  emerge --ask portage
showed that portage was up to date so I then proceeded to

   emerge --tree --ask --verbose --newuse --update --deep world

which showed firefox, glibc, and a few others.

This is now chugging along successfully.

Thank you again; once once this group has proven to be one of the
great gentoo assets.

Sincerly,

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't login - needs pam_afs

2005-07-16 Thread Brett I. Holcomb
On the reboot I was also told to run depscan.sh - if I can get in I'll 
try that too.

The following was done after chrooting.

There was no afs in the use flag and I put -afs in /etc/make.conf .



You can probably log in now that you remerged pam.  Like Mike said, 
it's always wise to run revdep-rebuild after libraries are updated or 
unmerged.  Theoretically, some packages could have linked against afs 
even though they do not support the afs USE flag.

What do you mean both are started at the end of the boot sequence.  Why both 
gdm and xdm?

Since xdm seems to be working it seems like you should be more interested in a gdm log (unless gdm 
uses xdm.log).  I think you should put DISPLAYMANAGER=xdm in rc.conf, run env-update, 
and see it /etc/init.d/xdm start works for plain xdm.  That will tell you whether the 
problem is isolated in the /etc/init.d/xdm script (part of xorg-x11) or instead isolated in the gdm 
package.

Yes changing rc.conf to xdm, starts X and brings me to the xdm log in
screen.  No need to run env-update.

Opps sorry, xdm is suppost to start gdm.  Xdm is added to the default
run level, gdm is started when rc.conf runs.  Atleast that is the
sequence I understand from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gdm_setup

Okay, so the problem seems to be isolated in the gdm package.  Did it say anything other 
than ERROR: could not open the Display Manager...?  That doesnt't make much 
sense, gdm is the display manager!  What about a log file?  You need to look in 
/var/log/gdm for that.

The above suggests that whatever is trying to run is trying to use

Read /etc/init.d/xdm, it's all there.  Now, when you say xdm is suppost to start 
gdm I hope you're talking about the /etc/init.d/xdm script because that's not xdm, 
it's just a script.

Nice try Willie but I think he's looking at the wrong log file ;-).  The gdm
