[gentoo-ppc-user] date and time set to April 1976
Hi,I've recently installed gentoo on a G4 TiBook and it's working fine.However, I have a couple of unresolved problems, one of which being, the system doesn't remember the date. I had entered the correct date when installing, but it always follow the system date instead (the date that appears in Open Firmware when I boot it) and I have to reset the correct date every time I boot (otherwise I get compilation errors warning that I'm installing files that got modified in the future).The system date turned back to April 1976 when I zapped the PRAM and NVRAM because it was impossible to boot Mac OS ; then I installed Gentoo and ever since it goes back again and again to 1976 (time is not stuck though ; time passing seems to be accurate, only, it is translated back to April 1976).I tried to guess how to reset time and date in Open Firmware by typing commands that seemed appropriate (I tried "date" "set-date", "setdate"), b! ut nothing worked :-(Does anyone know a fix to this -- either, how I could set correct time and date in Open Firmware, or allow Linux to remember its own time and date ?cheers,Y-Lan Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo!

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Java / Apache Tomcat choices vs FreeBSD
Hi all, I just installed Gentoo on my laptop after having FreeBSD as my desktop for a long time. I felt Gentoo would be my best shot at using and enjoying a Linux distribution for my desktop, as Gentoo promises a lot of freedom and choice. All up its pretty darn good but I have to say I am a bit disappointed with the Tomcat/Apache/Java choices Gentoo portage has to offer. The main reason I am interested in Gentoo Linux was the fact I can use a Java supplied from Sun as an alternative to some of the FreeBSD native Java compiled via ports with Tomcat. I have servers running under Apache2.0.55 and Apache2.2.0 with Tomcat 5.5.x My main problems are there is not a full set of choices of Apache that being just 1.3.x or Apache 2.0.x and no Apache 2.2.x. Apache 2.2.x has some great new features like a built in AJP module for linking Tomcat and Apache together with out needing the external mod_ajp module. Secondly there is only Tomcat 5.0.x in portage, in FreeBSD there is Tomcat3,Tomcat4,Tomcat41, Tomcat5 and Tomcat55 I do have to admit I think I will be happy with even just 1 Java in Linux since I know it comes from Sun for Linux which I expecting should be of a good quality. Believe it or not but doing a 'cd /usr/ports/java/; ls | grep -c jdk in FreeBSD returns a count of 15 Java choices, admittedly half of then being the Linux ones for use via the Linux kernel emulation. I installed Gentoo on my laptop with a bit of excitement and was going to start doing some benchmarks and testing with Apache 2.2 and Tomcat 5.5 just to find I will have to start manually building it all and manually installing it all my self. My question is does any one have any idea of when Apache projects such as Tomcat 5.5 and Apache 2.2 will be in portage? Regards, Mike -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The post sync metadata transfer (equivalent to `emerge --metadata`) copies
readonly pre-generated cache from ${PORTDIR}/metadata/cache/ to the writable
cache which is stored in /var/cache/edb/dep/${PORTDIR}. You can delete the
whole cache with `rm -rf /var/cache/edb/*`. After you've done that, you can
repopulate it with `emerge --metadata` (`emerge --regen` is more time consuming
because it sources all of the ebuilds and eclasses instead of using the
pre-generated cache).

My other FreeBSD box and two Windows boxes get time from it just fine. Even the Gentoo box will set its clock with ntpd -gq. I am currently using this brute force method via a cron job as a temporary workaround. Any ideas on what might have caused this recent change in behavior? It might be that the clock got off by more than ntp is willing to adjust. As I recall there is a threshold above which ntp will not go. Hopefully someone more knowledgable might confirm that. Thanks for your reply. If I understand correctly, using the '-g' option will allow a one time clock adjustment of any size. To cure that sort of problem here I run ntp-client at boot. It sets the time by any amount I think. So time gets set right on boot then ntp will keep it in good order. Next boot up ntp-client comes in ahead of ntp and sets the clock before ntp gets to it, so the too-large discrepancy never occurs. I have used both 'ntpupdate' (the utility used by ntp-client) and 'ntpd -gq' (ntpd's way to mimic the behavior of ntpupdate) with successful results. However I still can not seem to get ntpd to sync when run in daemon mode. I seem to recall that the too-large discrepancy is not really that large. I remember thinking it seemed kind of small to be a problem. 1000 seconds according to my understanding of the man page. Anyway, I really appreciate your thoughts. Because this box runs MythTV, time is *VERY* important.

She won't be able to access the Linux filesystems. Are we going to have a major domestic because I hosed *her* computer? No. Windows will only see one partition - the partition holding the physical volume (PV) which contains your volume group (VG) which, in turn, contains the logical volumes (LV) on which you'll, finally *G*, have your filesystems. I believe Alexander mentioned it, but the reason I have placed directories like /usr/portage into different partitions is to minimise data fragmentation. I'm talking about a different kind of fragmentation. With LVM, logical volumes (partitions) don't have to be consecutive. Indeed, most of the time they won't be. So, suppose you create lvol1 and lvol2. Now you wish to extend lvol1. What will happen is, that the phsyical extents (blocks) for lvol1 are in front of and behind lvol2 (simply put). How does this work in an LVM set up? Filesystems don't see that they are on logical volumes. This means, that the filesystem fragmentation will happen just as as it normally does.

Annoying, but not the end of the world. kill all apps which use your OSS audio device /dev/dsp. I guess some soundserver is blocking it and firefox simply waits for the device to be freed.

Is there another way to update portage tree? For my first update I
downloaded the snapshot and decompressed it directly to the filesystem
(but that requires a reboot and its kinda brute force). Is there a
way to download the snapshot and make emerge or even emerge-webrsync
to use the downloaded file instead of trying to download a new one?
Thanks for any sugestion.
If you put the snapshot + md5sum in the directory
$PORTAGE_TMPDIR/emerge-webrsync it will use those without downloading
a new snapshot.
Or, you can manually do the sync yourself. Extract the
portage-snapshot into a directory, and then use the following command:
rsync -av --progress --stats --delete --delete-after \
--exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/packages' \
--exclude='/local' . ${PORTDIR%%/}
Either define PORTDIR, or replace that with the location of your
portage tree (/usr/portage by default).

Re: [gentoo-user] System Clock Problems
If your system stopped suddenly the ntp.drfit file may have become corrupted. As I understand it this file has a value in it that tells the system how much drift there is in the system clock, and uses the figutre to compensate. If the figure is way out then the compensation will be way out. Take a look at /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift, if its seems like a large figure, then zero it and start again from scratch. ie stop ntpd, set the clock with ntpdate, then start the ntpd service again (preferably not while recording with mythtv LOL).

Re: [gentoo-user] Max Number of Partitions
On Monday 13 February 2006 08:54, Michael Kintzios [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote about 'RE: [gentoo-user] Max Number of Partitions': Current partitions 1, 13, 14, 15 and 16 are NTFS. As I understand it LVM is a software solution that works happily with Linux. What happens when my other half tries to boot into WinXP? Are we going to have a major domestic because I hosed *her* computer? Windows will not be able to see LVs; These will have to remain as partitions or you can use the windows equivalent of LVM. It's something like dynamic disk management or dynamic volume manager... I don't use windows much. I believe Alexander mentioned it, but the reason I have placed directories like /usr/portage into different partitions is to minimise data fragmentation. How does this work in an LVM set up? The filesystem will see a LV the same way it sees a partition, as a single contiguous block device. Filesystem level fragmentation will happen as normal on this block device. However, LVM does introduce the possibility for the LV itself to become fragmented. You can prevent this by marking the LV(s) as contiguous, but that will prevent you from extending the LV in some cases. Generally LV fragmentation is much less of a problem because LVs change size less often than the files on the filesystems they host change size. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Open Office 2.01 US Intl KB missing single double quote characters.
Hallo,
I'm running a compiled from source Open Office 2.01 (stable branch), and
am having problems getting Open Office to accept input single and double
quote characters.
I have CFLAGS=-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer and
LINGUAS=en en_GB in my /etc/make.conf Nothing startling there.
In my /etc/xorg.conf I have the following entries for my keyboard:
Option XkbModel pc105
Option XkbLayout us_intl
Being an old-fashioned arch Brit I have set up OO to default to British
English. However, I live in Europe, so I use a Logitech Cordless Desktop
Pro US International keyboard, set to US International under KDE 3.4.3.
I do not use UTF-8 for character encoding, but default to ISO-8859-15,
to allow me to use the 'special' accented characters and the Euro sign.
OO does not recognise either single quote (') or double quote (), but
correctly handles the Euro sign (€) and (composed) accented characters
such as áàéèíìóòöuúù.
I tried setting OO to US English, but this did not resolve the problem;
OO continued to stubbornly ignore both single and double quotes.
Normally in 'US International' mode, both single and double quotes are
produced using the quote key and a space. Other applications seem to
handle these quote characters correctly using my current keyboard set
up. Unfortunately, OO totally ignores these keystrokes.
The only way I can persuade OO to enter a single quote is to use the
Alt-Gr key and '. So far, I cannot produce a double quote in OO
documents without having to resort to cut and paste.
Has anyone else encountered this problem , or better still, have a
work-round or solution for it?
Thank you in advance for any help or advice you may be able to give.
Cheers, Dave.

AFAIK, certain operations can't use both CPU's because of the way they're written. rsync (used by emerge --sync) may be one. At least you'll use one cpu for rsync, and the other cpu for everything else you may be doing at the time, so you'll still get a performance advantage. and sorry for posting this in the normal user list, i figured i would get more responses here as i dont think this is specific to Sparc hardware, but i could be wrong.

That warning, yes. But the error right after that means what it says: No init found, ie. it has mounted a filesystem (else you get another error-: Kernel panic - cannot mount root partition) but it is unable to find 'init' there. From that, one can deduce the OP probably pointed the kernel to the wrong root partition (ie. /boot, or /usr, etc.) You are right. I pointed it to hdb1 and not to hdb3. It is working.

Imagine my surprise when I went to watch the first day of the Olympics on to find out that my recordings were off by over an hour and half. :) Thanks, Drew Drew, Please excuse me jumping in here. I have seen no other emails in this thread so maybe I'm wasting time. I hope not. Thanks for jumping in. I'll try any suggestions at this point. :) I have a number of Gentoo machines. For some reason in the last week or 10 days my AMD64 machine stopped keeping time. I'd boot it in the morning and even the day would be off. It was horrible. With a little help from others I found that, at least in my case, I needed to start running ntp-client in the default run level. I never ran this before but there appears to have been change recently that has made it more important. Either that or I was just lucky before. This leads me to believe that your issues are related to the initial step being beyond the 1000 second limit by default. I thought about this and thought the '-g' switch would override any such limit. I have also tried your suggestion in my testing. Not specifically by enabling ntp-client but by running ntpdate from the command line and then immediately running ntpd -A -d from the command line. Still, no sync. I've since added ntp-client on all the machines and things are now dead on as far as I can tell. One other thing that was recommended to me was to remove the /etc/adjust file when doing this. I did that also. I don't seem to have one of these. Again, if all of this has already been covered I apologize for taking up too much time. No, this hasn't been covered and they're good suggestions. I have a bit of an update. In experimenting, I tried both broadcastclient and server 192.168.1.2 (my time server machine) in ntp.conf. Neither worked. However, I read the man page for ntpd and came across the options of 'burst and iburst. I added both of these options so now my ntp.conf contains the line server 192.168.1.2 burst iburst. This seems to work but I don't understand why. One thing I noticed is that 'ntpd -d' output shows a burst of many communications between my Gentoo box and my time server each time it communicates. This results in a sync most of the time. However my ntp.log file shows entries such as this: 13 Feb 19:11:20 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:12:10 ntpd[8830]: no servers reachable 13 Feb 19:12:24 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:13:13 ntpd[8830]: no servers reachable 13 Feb 19:13:27 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:14:16 ntpd[8830]: no servers reachable 13 Feb 19:14:32 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:15:22 ntpd[8830]: no servers reachable 13 Feb 19:15:36 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:16:27 ntpd[8830]: no servers reachable 13 Feb 19:16:41 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:17:31 ntpd[8830]: no servers reachable 13 Feb 19:17:45 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:18:34 ntpd[8830]: no servers reachable 13 Feb 19:18:48 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:19:39 ntpd[8830]: no servers reachable 13 Feb 19:19:53 ntpd[8830]: synchronized to 192.168.1.2, stratum 2 13 Feb 19:19:01 ntpd[8830]: time reset -52.104173 s The no servers reachable bothers me a bit.

Re: [gentoo-user] Good program for ogg?

I love fluxbox, so something that works in console would even be great! What's your fave? cdmp3 http://www.roland-riegel.de/cdmp3/index_en.html This little command line program is really awesome and works great. I have ripped about 150 of my CDs using it with no problems. It supports mp3 and ogg. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Any one using linux version of truecrypt
There is an ebuild in bugzilla. On 2/13/06, Harry Putnam [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just tried compiling truecrypt newest version 4.1 and cannot get it working or make enough sense out of errors to debug. Since it is OT (not available in portage, but is available as source) I'm just asking if anyone is using it... if so maybe reply privately. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Problems with GRUB in the installation of Gentoo
On 2/13/06, Gilberto Martins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hum .. Shouldn`t it already exist ? Why should I have to copy it ? What can cause this absence ? Not likely to happen during installation, but if you use udev, the device nodes may not exist in your backups (depending upon how you do your backups...). So a restore of a backup of your root filesystem from a crash recovery or live CD may not restore any device nodes to your root filesystem. Anyway, ignore my message...I didn't quite understand that the problem was resolved. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
