[gentoo-user] USB card reader needs a kick in the pants to wake up.
Used to be, I'd stick the my camera's SD card into the all-in-one card reader, and it would show up as /dev/sdb (my SATA hd shows up as /dev/sda). Now it doesn't show up automatically. fdisk -l doesn't show it. But fdisk /dev/sdb, followed by simply quitting fdisk wakes it up. /dev/sdb shows up, and I can do the usual mounting.

Obviously, the splash will not work in this case, because there's no theme for splash to display (the initramfs is not correctly created). So the first thing we need to know is why that might be. What version of splashutils are you using? Is this an upgrade from a pre-1.0 version? Did you actually install the correct theme package: * media-gfx/splash-themes-livecd Available versions: 2004.3 2005.0 2005.1 Installed: 2005.1 Homepage:http://www.gentoo.org/ Description: Gentoo theme for gensplash consoles or did you install the incorrect theme package * media-gfx/bootsplash-themes-livecd Available versions: 2004.0 2004.1 2004.2-r4 ~2004.3-r1 Installed: none Homepage:http://www.gentoo.org/ Description: Gentoo theme for bootsplash consoles It's also possible that you have a kernel problem (incompletely configured)-- while you clearly need framebuffer support, there is also a setting # Logo configuration # # CONFIG_LOGO is not set # CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT is not set ==CONFIG_FB_SPLASH=y which only becomes available if all other related settings are correctly set... but it's possible that splash_geninitramfs may not work correctly if it is not set (or not available). What I would try is 1. unmerge all splash theme packages; 2. delete all leftover theme folders left in /etc/splash 3. check my /usr/src/linux symlink and make sure it was pointing to the correct kernel; 4. re-emerge splashutils 5. emerge the theme packages again 6. set the 'default' symlink in /etc/splash to point to my preferred theme if not emergence. Then I would start with the http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash and go through it step by step, making sure that my kernel config was correct, and recompiling the kernel if it was not. If I recompiled the kernel, I would also re-emerge splashutils (again) so that it was compiled against the correctly compiled kernel rather than the incorrectly compiled one). The Wiki instructions do work, and they are to the best of my knowledge, quite complete (which is why they work). Your error output suggests that something on your system is improperly installed (the idea that splashutils can't find its own theme files is a strong indication), so the best thing to do would be to start clean (or as clean as possible) and proceed carefully from there.

[gentoo-user] orphaned kernel sources?
So, with your help I finally checked all software installed on my gentoo-server (thanks to everyone, who replied). There were a few gentoo-sources (I think 5 or 6 different versions), so I used emerge --prune gentoo-sources to leave only the last one. Then I checked /usr/src, and I see there are still 2 subdirectories: linux-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 (~50MB) linux-2.6.13-gentoo-r5 (~300MB) I'm surprised there is still 2.6.12-r6, because I unmerged it. Can I delete it? Will this not break some dependencies? Moreover, emerge --pretend --prune showed I have a few packages with more than one version: db (4.2.52_p2 , 1.85-r2) automake (1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.4_p6, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1) freetype (2.1.9-r1, 1.3.1.-r4) autoconf (2.13, 2.59-r6) Can I unmerge all but the last versions? Strange is, emerge does not always want to leave the last version, for example it has marked db 4.2.52 as selected for unmerge, and 1.85 as protected (similar for freetype, 2.1.9 selected, 1.3.1 protected). So can I leave emerge --prune to do its job without breaking some dependencies? At least for automake and autoconf? Jarry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

From what I have read (bearing in mind it is 3:41am [image: :(] ) the seem to offer the same thing. Bear in mind this reply is from someone that has only done very, very, minor fooling with LTSP, but has run a lot of diskless nodes - using IRIX. LTSP is pretty much limited to x86. It's also pretty well pre-defined, and pre-compiled. The nice thing is the infrastructure is setup, which limits the amount of initial work that needs to be done. The downside is if you want clients other than x86, it tends to get in the way. The diskless howto, is pretty basic, and doesn't expand on more than what is needed to, essentially, bootup the equivlant of a LiveCD. Neither gives you the a client that is a full system booted off a diskless server. Things missing, include - package management for the clients. Full, filesystem support, though LTSP is a bit easier to set up local swap and /tmp. If you have limited needs - where the clients are pretty much static, I'd suggest the following from ease of implementation and support - easiest to more work - - Puppy Linux on a USB stick - Gentoo LiveCD booted from a Catalyst created CD/USB/etc. - LTSP - Gentoo Diskless Howto - Gentoo Diskless cluster For a more robust set of clients, where updates are easy and package management is in effect, the following needs to be created - - a share tree where all clients use the same libs, read only (assumes the same arch). Typically, this includes - /usr /bin /sbin /lib. - a client tree and swap tree for each client - read/write. Usually includes - /var, /etc. /home, /opt, /root. It also includes links to the share tree - /usr /include /lib. - a set of scripts to manage all this in a sane manner on the server. - Package management becomes an issue, thus lots of work would be needed. Typically, it's easier (less thinking, script creation) to provide clients with pre-compiled binaries and do package management in the background on the server, allowing clients read only access to see what is installed. All-in-all, the easiest to implement is a RAM based distribution - Puppy Linux on a local r/w device - USB stick, CF, SD, CD-r/w, DVD-ram, which can be booted from a diskless server, then runs a a standalone unit. It's easy to control what configuration and what aux packages are available - easy to get additional packages. The server can be a development/build system for the clients.

Re: [gentoo-user] orphaned kernel sources?
I think you can safely remove the orphaned folders, because anything that needs the kernel source to compile, does so with the sources contained within the folder that the /usr/src/linux symlink points to (make sure it points to the kernel you're currently using). Check out /lib/modules for orphaned folders as well. To rebuild any packages that were compiled against an older kernel source, either use module-rebuild to update them (emerge module-rebuild) , or run emerge -va $(equery b /lib/modules | sed -e 's:^:=:' ), without the quotes.

This occurs because when you unmerge a package, it only removes the files that were part of that package, in this case, the kernel sources. When you build the kernel, it creates a bunch of .o, .cmd, and .a files that are not removed by portage. So yes, you can remove them without affecting anything. My guess (based on the size) is that linux-2.6.13-gentoo-r5 is your current sources, so maybe you will want to keep that until your next kernel upgrade. Moreover, emerge --pretend --prune showed I have a few packages with more than one version: db (4.2.52_p2 , 1.85-r2) automake (1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.4_p6, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1) freetype (2.1.9-r1, 1.3.1.-r4) autoconf (2.13, 2.59-r6) Can I unmerge all but the last versions?

Re: [gentoo-user] LTSP vs. Diskless Nodes
Since I'm rambling now, guess I should do the rest of the memory download... One of the big problems with Linux diskless is it really doesn't scale well, it doesn't allow for clients to run multiple versions of the os, nor for different arch types to co-exist off one server of a different arch type. Additionally, a typical diskless setup exports /usr as a read only file system (which by most definitions, it is supposed to be). Lots of developers ignore this and never think about writing a small file into some /usr/... path during normal operation. Linux is usually much better at leaving /usr read only. But there is an argument that /usr/portage should be /var/portage. But */portage is pretty easy to move, so it's not a big deal. See - http://www.kurobox.com/online/tiki-index.php?page=InstallGentooBeta1 Under the heading - Configuring Portage Another not so well thought out diskless problem with Linux is all the setups use one kernel under /tftpboot or, at least the Gentoo Diskless guide uses /diskless, which makes it a bit movable, but then falls into showing the path as - /diskless/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (an IP number) instead of using the node name. The other problem, is they all assume only one kernel vs. a kernel for each host. For a good idea of how a robust diskless setup should be done, please see - http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=0650db=bkssrch=fname=/SGI_Admin/Diskless_AG/sgi_html/pr01.html The SGI IRIX Diaskless Workstation Administration Guide. So here's a general overview of how a robust diskless infrastructure should be done - - The server should be capable of supporting multipe arch types, even OS types, as long as the NFS' are compatible. - The diskless trees should be capable of being moved to other drives or even servers. - Clients should be known by host name, not IP. The server's /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf should define all that's needed for a client to operate, thus can simply be copied, intact, to each client's /diskless/client-name/etc. - Common files across clients, should reside in common share trees, which are exported read only. - Clients should be capable of operating as full systems, minus having a local disk. - A set of wrapper scripts is needed to allow for package management of share trees and client trees. - Client system management, excluding package management, should be done on the diskless client. - DCHP providing is reserved to the diskless server. Nothing says it can't also provide general DHCP support for other systems beyond the diskless clients. - Diskless nodes should be capable of having attached storage, even shared mounts from NAS and SAN systems. - In a production or a secure environment, diskless should be robust enough to allow changing it on a daily basis - swapping drives out to meet changing needs of visiting clients while still giving access to shared storage. (Linux is not robust in this aspect.) fwiw, here are the weekly diskless things I and my piers do with diskless - Regularly run a 16P O3K booted diskless off a 2P O350 server under IRIX, along with other nodes - some O2s running under a different share tree, and a Voyager system (two pipe Gfx visualization system) booted across multiple sub-nets. Do a weeky update of IRIX on 3 diskless servers and run long term testing - 110hrs, max load on 11 clients of mixed arch types. btw - these servers are all on the same sub-net. Do daily booting and installs via a diakless boot of new Linux kernels on ia64 systems via a fileserver running Gentoo. The systems install kernels and other Linux updates via diskless network boots, then reboot up as regular systems and run automated system testing. Bob - -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So can I leave emerge --prune to do its job without breaking some dependencies? At least for automake and autoconf? no! you need several different db, automake and autoconf versions. Removing them will break your system in horrible ways! Do not touch them! They are very much needed. Let them stay and do not disturb them. Removing freetype will not break your system, but some apps may start to look extremly ugly ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

On 29 October 2005 20:14, Bob Sanders wrote: Since I'm rambling now, guess I should do the rest of the memory download... Let me join you in rumbling. ;-) Before I start just a little background: I do quite some consulting for SchoolNet Namibia (http://www.schoolnet.na) which has hooked up about 250 schools all over the country. All of them (well, almost all - some externally sponsored ones run Windows) running linux thin clients connecting to a linux server running the South African linux distribution OpenLab (http://www.getopenlab.com) and LTSP. Typical server configuration: P4 2.8 GHz 2GB ram 2 x 80GB normal IDE harddrive Typical client: refurbished x86 box currently PII or PIII 32MB ram One of the big problems with Linux diskless is it really doesn't scale well, it doesn't allow for clients to run multiple versions of the os, Why would you want to do that? nor for different arch types to co-exist off one server of a different arch type. That's possible, of course. The boot prom on the NIC in the client can boot any kernel/X server under /tftpboot on the server. Additionally, a typical diskless setup exports /usr as a read only file system (which by most definitions, it is supposed to be). A typical LTSP server doesn't export /usr at all. There is no need for it. The client runs a kernel and an X server. If you want local devices to work, it also needs to run some other small daemons. All *applications* run on the server. [ snip ] Another not so well thought out diskless problem with Linux is all the setups use one kernel under /tftpboot or, at least the Gentoo Diskless guide uses /diskless, which makes it a bit movable, but then falls into showing the path as - /diskless/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (an IP number) instead of using the node name. The other problem, is they all assume only one kernel vs. a kernel for each host. Not necessarily. The boot prom on the client's NIC decides what to load from under /tftpboot on the server. My experiences with LTSP so far show: With a server like mentioned at the begin and fast ethernet, up to 20 clients are working well if you don't allow too graphics-intensive apps like movie players or that type of games. For more clients (up to 40), you need more ram on the server and a Gb connection between the server and the switch (clients can remain on 100Mb ethernet, of course). For small businesses, I prefer a different solution that involved solid state clients that boot from non-volatile ram. In that case, the client is completely independent of the server. All they talk to each other is X.

Re: [gentoo-user] LTSP vs. Diskless Nodes
Thank you both Bob and Uwe that gives me something to think about. Uve I am from South Africa. Summer is going to be a scortcher I am fearing December January. Back on topic, I am helping out my old High School and they are wanting to setup thin clients in all the class rooms for the teachers. There is an existing thin client setup there now but the clients tend to hang on a regular basis. I suspect it is due to NFS because at times you get the connection error message until it resumes the connection. Either way they have tasked me to replace it or fix it, personally I would prefer to replace it such that I can standardise it with the other linux machines. So hence why I was looking at both LTSP and diskless nodes offerings.-- When you say I wrote a program that crashed Windows, people just stare at you blankly and say Hey, I got those with the system, for free. - Linus Torvalds, 1995

I think the PMCIA card optical driver were both hardwired to the cable and it was certainly never implied that the PCMCIA card might be used with any other kind of drive. Google finds a photo at http://www.allnotebooks.ru/img/compl/51.gif I installed Gentoo on a Pentium II 400 Vaio Picturebook, the Sony with a 6 widescreen (1024 x 480??) but never had one of these CD-Roms available, only the floppy drive. In fact I cheated resorted to removing the hard-drive installing Gentoo on it using a desktop PC before returning the drive to the laptop. I think it might be possible to avoid this by installing from stage 3 - that mostly just needs to be unpacked onto a Linux-formatted partition, doesn't it? There are surely Linux distros that'll boot on this device so a pre-compiled kernel could be copied across from another machine and then only grub needs to be run, I think. Richard: does Knoppix boot from this CD-Rom drive? An Ubuntu LiveCD? Perhaps it might be worth trying an older (2003, 2004) Gentoo install CD. A Google for parallel port cd-rom linux returns, amongst others, this page http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/paride.html so I reckon your drive is probably supported by the kernel.

It may also be of note that if you use reiserfs, you're out of luck. I emerge secure-delete and it does not work on reiserfs. I'm not usre about ext3 but it does journal so it may not work or may not work well. Those forensics folks sure are good though.

[gentoo-user] RAID 10 help
I have four identical SATA disks and want to create a Software RAID 10 array for my new gentoo system. But I am quite a newbie for the RAID area. I googled but found nothing teach me how to setup a RAID10 on four disks -- all the tutorials, howto, etc. are talking about setup RAID1 or RAID0 or mix these two up on two disks. I fdisk all my four disks to the following: livecd ~ # sfdisk -d /dev/sda # partition table of /dev/sda unit: sectors /dev/sda1 : start= 63, size= 144522, Id=fd /dev/sda2 : start= 144585, size= 1975995, Id=82 /dev/sda3 : start= 2120580, size= 39086145, Id=fd /dev/sda4 : start= 41206725, size=115089660, Id=fd /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd are all fdisk'ed as the same as /dev/sda. As grub cannot be setup on RAID0 (neither RAID 1+0 nor RAID 0+1), I have to create a four-partion RAID1 with /dev/sd[abcd]1 and mount it as /boot. Then I want both my / and /var are RAID10. I use the following schema: /dev/sda3/dev/sdb3/dev/sdc3/dev/sdd3 |||| +--(RAID1)---++---(RAID1)--+ | | /dev/md3 /dev/md4 | | +-(RAID0)--+ | /dev/md5 and mount /dev/md5 as /. The same as /dev/sd[abcd]4 for a /dev/md8 as /var. After mkraid, I followed the Gentoo Handbook and installed system, build all RAID and driver mapping options into kernel. But after reboot, kernel panic! The error message says it can not mount / on /dev/md5 because it doesn't exist. From the messages on the boot screen, it seems the kernel can assemble the two RAID1's and create /dev/md3 and /dev/md4, but it can not assemble /dev/md5. Maybe because /dev/md5 is based on two md devices? I tried RAID1 on two RAID0's but with no luck, either.
