[gentoo-user] glibc upgrade: emerge frozen...

2006-02-04 Thread Jarry
Hi,

I'm trying to update to glibc 3.4.4, this is what I did:
emerge -uav gcc
gcc-config i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.4
source /etc/profile
emerge --oneshot -av libtool
emerge --oneshot sys-libs/libstdc++-v3
emerge -e system

Up to this point, everything was OK. As the last part I started:

emerge -e world

Emerge started updating all packages (~150), but then suddenly stopped
(after ~20 packages). No error message, just sitting here, like frozen:
...
gcc -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -march=athlon-xp -pipe -O2
-o .libs/ld-new ldgram.o ldlex.o lexsup.o ldlang.o mri.o ldctor.o ldmain.o

make[1]: leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/binutils-2.16.1/work/build/ld'

And nothing more. Emerge is waiting there, doing nothing. Computer is
responsive, cpu load 0%, no disc activity, nothing. Following processes
are still running (but taking no cpu-time):

emerge, sandbox, ebuild.sh, emake, make (2x), grep

What to do now? Do I have to interrupt it? What then, start again?

[gentoo-user] Problem with alt-key on Apple iBook

2006-02-04 Thread Simon Ruderich

Hi,

I'm trying to install gentoo on my Apple iBook G4. I loaded the  
correct keymap for my keyboard with loadkeys de-latin1. Most of the  
keys are working correctly.
My problem is now that some characters (like the curly brace) can  
only be typed by using the alt-key. But if I press the alt-key and 8  
for example then the console changes from this:

livecd root #
To this:
(arg: 8)
And I don't know what this means.
Is there anything I can do to get the alt-key working?

Thanks in advance.

I think I read that Deer Park is the name for Firefox that is used
to get an GPL-type liscense - but is really Firefox.

I have several packages that I maintain 'manually' (outside of portage)
and I have experienced no portage 'confusion', i.e. Apache 2.2, mod_perl,
mysql-5.1.5-alpha, etc. I install them to /usr/local and portage
doesn't care.

Hey everybody,

  This is kind of stupid problem, but I just can't seem to figure this
one out.  I can't emerge UT2004.  I set my CD_ROOT to my cdrom
(/media/hdc) and the first CD copies fine, but it never gives me time to
umount and mount the second CD.  It simply tries (and thinks it has
success) on the rest of the CD's but I know that it just copied the data
from CD1 six times.

This is the first time I have ever tried to install a game from CD on
linux, so any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Unfortunately, the ebuild for ut2004 is very brain dead about that.
Curiously, it USED to do exactly what you said: let you swap CD's.

The only way I figured out how to accomplish the install from CD's was
to copy every single CD to the hard disk, which obviously takes up a lot
of space and time.

Like so:

rsync -aP /mnt/cdrom 1
rsync -aP /mnt/cdrom 2

And so on through 6. 6 is the disk labeled install disk, I think. Then
set CD_ROOT_1=/full/path/to/1 CD_ROOT_2=/full/path/to/2 CD_ROOT_
emerge ut2004

Feel free to use cp, i prefer to use rsync.

The next problem you will run into (or it might come before you even get
to the CD's, i forget) is that portage will try to download various
large files from 3dgamers mirrors. Almost all of which time out or are
unreachable, or uselessly slow. I've found that I have to go to google
and look for the filename, find it somewhere else, save it to
/usr/portage/distfiles and home the md5sums match. Make sure the
filename is as portage expects it too, including case.

There are bugs open about all of these issues, but they just haven't
been solved yet.

ut2004 is one of the most irritating peices of software to install on
gentoo, especially from CD's, thanks to all of this.
 
 Thanks! I got everything working now.  But that was a pain in the rear.  
 Somebody should really update the ebuild in portage.

Indeed... :)

 Deer Park, just the 1.5 release version.

The version labelled as Deer Park under Gentoo *is* the 1.5 release
version, to the best of my knowledge.

As I understand it, there is a licensing requirement from the Mozilla
group that specifies that compiled versions provided by anyone other
than Mozilla.org cannot use the 'official' branding. Therefore, the
release displays Deer Park but is otherwise identical (built from the
same source release tarball as the Mozilla.org compiled release, just
not built by Mozila.org, but by you or the Gentoo devs).

Apparently you can 'fix' this (if it must be fixed) by activating the
./configure switch --enable-official-branding. You can of course do this
by copying the current ebuild to your PORTDIR_OVERLAY, making the
adjustment, and compiling that instead, or by --as you said-- installing
or compiling the official Mozilla binary or source from the Mozilla.org
site.

Check the forums, I believe that that's where I discovered what
information I know about this issue.

 I've considered downloading the source and manually installing but 
 I'd prefer not to do something which may confuse portage at some 
 point.  Thanks for any suggestions.

That's what Portage overlay directories are for; to do something like
this without confusing Portage. Self-regulating, of course-- if the
issue is not important enough to the user to make it worth their while
to learn how to set up an overlay, and how to populate it with the
relevant ebuilds (especially if the relevant ebuild must be created from
scratch rather than just adjusted), then the issue is not necessarily
important enough to  warrant solving, offering the user an opportunity
to re-evaluate the severity  of the issue. As with all things Gentoo,
it's your choice as to how you want to handle it.

Hey Franta,  Whoa wait a minute.  You do have to learn a bit about how
gentoo approaches things but soon you will be running a working system
and many many things are then easy and smooth.

There is no need to update frequently unless you need something that
has become available.  The running of `emerge sync' is up to you.

I've gone mnths and mnths without doing that.  Admittedly, after that
much time when you do update there is bound to be some hitches.  
But a sysadmin of 20 yrs will not have too much trouble getting lined
out again.

Once you learn how the portage/emerge system works.  At least the
basics, it is usually fairly easy to straighten stuff out and get back
to work.

There are several very knowledgable regular posters here who post
daily about how to do such things.  If you watch the list a while you
will so learn many of the more complex ways to use portage/emerge.

Re: [gentoo-user] upgrade/downgrade portage loop

2006-02-04 Thread Grant
Hello, I have the following in package.keywords:
   
xfce-base/libxfce4mcs
xfce-base/libxfcegui4
xfce-base/libxfce4util
   
They need to be in there for xfmedia.  Whenever I run 'emerge -avDuN
world' portage wants to either upgrade or downgrade between the two
most recent ~x86 versions of the packages.  Does anyone know how to
fix this?
  
   Use package.mask to mask out the more recent version.
  
 
  I have wpa_supplicant in package.keywords too.  It has four ~x86
  packages that are more recent than the latest x86 package and it
  doesn't get caught in an upgrade/downgrade loop.  Why is this
  happening with the xfce-base stuff?
 

 It happens because of a long-time bug in portage that doesn't handle
 some dependancy cases very well.

 In this case:

 pkg A depends on pkg C  version X
 pkg B depends on pkg C  version Y
 the current version of pkg C is = Y, and X is  Y.

 If for example X is 1.0, Y is 1.2, and the current version is 1.3,
 then portage will oscillate between merging pkg C 1.0 and 1.3.

Got it, thanks!

Lilo encounter this fatal error even before /dev/mapper/hidmo is

LVM mapping stems just warnings, so this problem has definitely to do

Lilo fatal error is resolved unplugging the removable device, but i

[gentoo-user] xrdb hangs login

2006-02-04 Thread james
Hello,

I use kde and login from a kde menu gui. Most recently, the system
boots OK and login proceeds to the 'peripherals' stage, then hangs.
I can then ssh into the system, kill off 'xrdb' and the kde-login
launcher complete and everything is find.

ps -aux revels it is xrdb that is the culprit.  

eix nor emerge -s reveal that xrdb is installed.

'emerge unmerge xrdb' says that xrdb is not installed.

I'm running the latest stable kde and 2.6.15-gentoo-r2.
In fact booting an older 1.6.15-gentoo kernels does
not fix the problem, so it's definately a kde-login-launcher
problem.

Any fixes or advice?

Well, hotplug as we knew it no longer exists really.  Now the kernel
sends hotplug events using either udevsend or (for 2.6.15 onwards)
netlink.

Try cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug.  In your case, it should say
/sbin/udevsend.

However, we are _assuming_ that the system is starting udev.  You
should check the first few lines of the system boot to make sure.  You
should see messages like:

Mounting /dev for udev ...

 Does anyone here have a better solution??

If you build the ACPI processor kernel driver as a module, you can add
the following to /etc/modules.d/acpi:

options processor max_cstate=1

Then run modules-update and add processor to
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.

The downside is that this uses (slightly) more power when you are not

Hi,
   This solution is specific to the missing Open Terminal in the Gnome
2.12 release. You can emerge nautilus-open-terminal and then do a
killall nautilus and you'll have the Open Terminal back in the desktop
menu. Only downside so far is that it's not at the top like it used to
be, but at least it's there.

Hope this helps,

 Okay, I give up.  I've been struggling with a couple of very, very

 trying to use sudo, but it keeps saying can't open sudoers file,
 permission denied.  even if i'm root doing sudo it tells me that.
 here is permissions on /etc/sudoers: -r--r-  1 root root 1643
 Feb  3 04:48 /etc/sudoers
 here is sudo itself: ---s--x--x  1 root root 97104 Feb  4 08:53 /usr/
 bin/sudo

 I've compared this to other, working gentoo boxes and it all seems
 the same.  In addition, I'm trying to run MailScanner and if I try to
 have it run as postfix, I get a message that it can't open it's
 MailScanner.conf, even though i've made that owned by postfix.  Not
 sure if that's related, but it seems it could be.

Root should be able to read anything yes.

If this was my computer, I'd go into single user mode, set the partition read 
only and run fsck on it. Use the -N switch on the first pass and see if 
everything is alright with the file system.

[gentoo-user] Too many failures in update world

2006-02-04 Thread Harry Putnam
Running: 
emerge -v -u -D --newuse world today to get up to speed with a sync
and some changed use flags

So far I've had two major show stopping failures.  I didn't keep much
about the first since it was tetex related and decided to scrub my
tetex use flag until I get the update done then deal with it.

But now I have a failure in doxygen.

Here is the tail of emerge output
Anyone recognize the problem?

[gentoo-user] madwifi-ng WPA

2006-02-04 Thread Stroller

Hi,

I've just purchased an Atheros-based wireless card that appears to be  
supported by the madwifi drivers. I emerged the latest version of  
madwifi because the VAP mode looks cool. (Virtual AP (VAP) mode,  
which allows the operation of multiple concurrent (virtual) access  
points, and concurrent running in both AP and station mode http:// 
madwifi.org/wiki/ngFeatures)


I've used WEP to date, so this isn't urgent, but I thought I'd try in  
order to try using the card in WPA mode; at the end of `emerge wpa- 
supplicant` the following einfo is given:


* To use wpa_supplicant-0.4.7 you must create the configuration file
* /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
*
* An example configuration file has been installed as
* /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.example
*
* Please notice that madwifi support was removed in this version
* of the ebuild. It will return once madwifi is stable again.

Does anyone know a workaround for using madwifi-ng with WPA, please?

$ eix -I wpa_supplicant -o madwifi --format \tcategory/name 
\tversion installedversions installed

[gentoo-user] Anime Music Videos

2006-02-04 Thread Ian
Hey everyone,

What is your favorite video editor of choice for things like anime music videos?

My friend on Windows has made a few with movie maker (eww!) and I was wondering what

Linux apps can do a nice job of it? My anime is all stored in avi or mpeg. I dont have dvds.



Ive looked at Cinellera but I couldn't get it to work, after reading the tutorial.

Thanks!-- Cheers,Ian

 Yeah, it should be working, and in fact it is exactly the same as on my 
 system 
 where it does work. Is your system having problems resolving localhost? Does 
 127.0.0.1 work?
 
  If I comment out the lines Deny from all, Allow from localhost it
  works, but not as it is written i the default file as quoted above.
 
  What am I doing wrong?
 
  Reading the manual here makes me believe it should be working:
 
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_access.html#order
 
 -d

Seems to be the same if i make the request to
http://locahost/server-status

the error message in the apache log seems to be the same whether i ask
for loalhost/server-status or 127.0.0.1/server-status. 

(asked for 127.0.0.1)

[Sun Feb 05 18:18:35 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by
server configuration: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/server-status

[Sun Feb 05 18:20:59 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by
server configuration: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/server-status

resolution for localhost seems to work:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ host localhost
localhost.rout.dyndns.org has address 127.0.0.1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ host 127.0.0.1
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer localhost.

More pointers appreciated. I don't particularly need this, it damn
annoys me that it sdoesn't work though.

Re: [gentoo-user] Anime Music Videos

2006-02-04 Thread Steven Susbauer
I'm still particular to iMovie, sadly. I've only opened moviemaker once, I 
don't even remember what it looked like. I've heard good things about cinelerra but it looks like all the ebuilds are hard masked until somebody 
fixes the ebuilds. cinelerra-cvs is an unofficial branch, it's only ~x86 so might be worth using.


Some other options in portage are lve (which looks similar to iMovie), 
piave is also an iMovie similar program, there are some other programs in 
portage for DV and AVI editing (I don't think the avi editor is really for 
composing videos).


Hope that helps,
Steven

Two really stupid observations on my part (probably doesn't matter,
but who knows?) If you try Allow from 127.0.0.1 instead of
localhost, does it work? and does it matter that deny,allow is all in
lowercase? I recall sometimes that arguments to directives are case
sensitive, though I suspect that not to be the case (no pun intended)
here.

Agreed.

Also if you have ACL support enabled, you should check the ACLs for
the file and make sure they grant root access to the file.

Also, double check your kernel configuration for any security options
you have.  I use CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES, and I know that I have
some bizarre permissions issues if I don't load capability.ko.
