Bob Young wrote: Depends on what you consider sufficient. Although what the page recommends was misquoted, it actually suggests: emerge -e system emerge -e system emerge -e world emerge -e world That's probably is a little bit excessive, but the reason for doing the two emerge -e systems is so that the new tool chain is built with the new tool chain. At the end of the first emerge -e system you may have a new compiler, but that new compiler was built with the old compiler. What you actually want is a gcc-4.1.1 that was built with gcc-4.1.1. You could emerge the compiler twice before doing the emerge -e system, but the the emerges that happen before glibc is rebuilt are linked against a glibc that was built with the old compiler. Same with the rest of the tool chain and libraries. Hmm ... unless the build of gcc has changed over the years, it used to build the compiler as a bootstrap and then use new compiler (xgcc) to build the final compiler for install (gcc). Thus, the standard make script already builds the compiler twice. I don't know that a compiler rebuild is really necessary when binutils is updated. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

At the end of the first emerge -e system you may have a new compiler, but that new compiler was built with the old compiler. This is false. Gcc uses itself to build itself. It uses the system compiler to build an initial version of itself, and then uses that version to build itself. And then for good measure, it uses that version to build the final version. It's called a 3-stage bootstrap, and is documented in the file INSTALL/build.html in the gcc sources. You can also look at /usr/portage/eclass/toolchain.eclass to determine that Gentoo uses the bootstrap-lean target by default. No, sorry that's just wrong. gcc is slotted, if the above were true there would be no need for gcc-config in order to select a default compiler. When a new compiler is emerged, it does *not* automatically become the default system compiler, it must be selected, and that can only happen after it has successfully been emerged. The first time a new gcc compiler is emerged, it is indeed built with the previous version of the compiler that is currently istalled as the system default. xgcc is built with the previous system compiler. Then xgcc is used to build the new gcc for installation. The final install is a self-built gcc and is not built by the previous system compiler. Frankly, anybody who claims that gcc needs to be merged twice so it can be built with itself and produce better object code does not have a clue what they are talking about and you should simply disregard anything else they have to say about what is necessary/useful when upgrading gcc. It does have to be emerged twice in order for it to be built with itself, anybody who thinks otherwise doesn't understand the basic principles of compiling and linking. I think you have ignored what the previous poster suggested. happen before glibc is rebuilt are linked against a glibc that was built with the old compiler. And guess what difference this makes to the end result. None. Nada. Nothing. Because for basically every program on your system, they are *dynamically linked* against glibc. Are you absolutely 100% sure that every single system utility and application is *dynamically* linked, and that no apps or utilities anywhere in the system specifies *static* linking? There are a few statically linked programs that will include glibc internally. These are used only for system recovery purposes...there is no need to worry about them at all. Really, so people who intentionally and specifically want to upgrade absolutely *everything* should not worry about what gets left out because Richard says it's unimportant? The issue is about upgrading gcc and even the gcc upgrade howto recommends an emerge -e world. It's clear that gcc it self at least has to be emerged twice in order to build the new gcc *with* the new gcc. Wrong. The gcc package builds a bootstrap compiler (the new version), called xgcc and then it uses that to build [after some tests] the final installed gcc. A single emerge of gcc will create a compiler that was built by itself. Thus, if you move from 3.3.4 to 4.1.0: emerge -u gcc You WILL have a gcc that was compiled by a 4.1.0 compiler. Whether this is strictly necessary or not is certaintly debatable, but since it executes fairly quickly, and seems a prudent step, I'd argue that it's a reasonable course. Of course a selecting the new gcc as the default with gcc-config is also required in between, but that's self evident. Adding gcc-config, glibc, binutils, libstdc++-v3, quickly covers the most important parts of the basic tool chain, and covers most utilities or apps that might specify static linking, and executes much much faster than an emerge -e system. There is no value to having glibc or libstdc++-v3 in the first line. There is no value at all to doing that twice. Twice is the only way to build the new gcc *with* the new gcc. I should have added the gcc-config select command in between, but I thought that was pretty clearly necessary. You didn't pay attention to what he wrote. I hope perhaps my post made it more clear.

I'd tried to reinstall sysvinit (even a static version) but the problem persists, I als tried to change the sysinit script on inittab but again the same problem and it feels like the script is not executed, so for a last try I did changed the init binary with a script that just call /bin/bash and for my surprise it did work, but none system process run course. What I want to know is if is there a way to change this /sbin/rc sysinit from inittab to a custom script wich will do some configurations like create some directories, mount some systems and later start the normal process from default rc? tks in any advance,-- Claudinei Matos[EMAIL PROTECTED]55-21-81980605

[gentoo-user] OT: Gentoo on an AMD 64bit portable
Hello, I've seen snipits of various issues related to running gentoo on a 64 bit amd processor. In particular, I'd like to get a 'low power' chip such as the Turion in a portable. One of my concerns is whether to use 32 bit or 64 bit Gentoo on a 64 bit AMD portable. Is there a document I can read somewhere that explains the merits and problems on how to set up Gentoo on a 64 bit machine? If not can somebody explain the caveats of 64 bit (amd) gentoo? I do not wish to be on the 'bleeding edge' of 64 bit AMD issues, but, I'd like to access the power. I'm running a variety of 32 bit stable gentoo systems now, with relative ease. Another problem I run into is that I must have a 9 pin serial port (you know with a 16x50+ chip). I use my portables to talk to a wide variety of industrial equipment that all use standard 9 pin serial ports. I know that there are pci cards to give mult serial ports and usb-serial converter devices, but I have never used any of them so I need recommendations on alternative serial (rs232C) hardware. This limits me pretty much to Clevo based portables, unless somebody else can point me to a 64 bit AMD portable with 9 pin serials ports, or a hardware alternative that is robust.

I've been *extremely* happy with my xtremenotebooks.com system - it's based on a Clevo (as is the Alienware equivalent), and it was about a $1000 cheaper than the Alienware equivalent. I went with the desktop replacement strategy - AMD 64X2 4400+, GeForce 7800 Go GTX, etc - but xtremenotebooks.com also has Turion64-based systems for the more mobility minded - i.e. those that don't want to lug around a 14 lb portable. ;) I've been running full 64-bit on the system, and it's been *really* straightforward - I haven't found a *single* show-stopper (now that the RaLink rt2500 wireless driver is SMP-compatible, that is) - the only real minor annoyances I've had are that Flash won't work in the 64-bit (i.e. self-compiled) Firefox - darn, I sure miss all those Punch the Monkey and win an iPod! ads (however, I'm told this can be gotten around via either some clever 32-bit Flash plugin + 64-bit Konqueror sleight of hand, or by using the 32-bit firefox-bin instead of the self-compiled), and the fact that, oddly enough, win32codecs don't want to work in a 64-bit system either (which can be gotten around via the mplayer-bin package - another pre-compiled 32-bit version). And, of course, the most important thing - I can't stop just wallowing gleefully in my friends and relatives envious looks when I walk up with a laptop that is more powerful than their most powerful gaming and server systems... :) (With only *slightly* less battery life than a good desktop with no UPS... grin (Actually, I can get about 2 hours if I'm careful)). The ACPI functionality all seems to work quite well, saving suspend/hibernate, which I haven't really pursued due to my usage of the proprietary NVidia drivers + the fact that the rt2500 driver doesn't seem to play well with power management, but I would bet that if you unloaded both those modules and did a suspend or a hibernate, it would go well for you. So, overall, as far as Gentoo + AMD64 goes, my experience has pretty much been no different than Gentoo + x86 - a good one!

Re: [gentoo-user] supported mp3 players (hardware)
What players would you recommend. My needs are modest, a few hours of MP3s would be enough. My primary goal is to listen to the teaching company lectures. most devices which have as a requirement Mac OS 8.6 or better simoky behave as a USB mass storage and therefore can be mounted on Linux. If you read Driver for Win 98 included or ...downloadable from web page, you can be 99% sure it is class compliant. As you are on Linux, I'd like to recommend a device which also supports ogg, like some Samsung and TrekStor devices do. I also enjoy to have an FM receiver built in. Foldernavigation is a plus. I just purchased an TrekStor iBeat organix FM @ 1GB. It's not a cheap device, but I took my notebook to the store, mounted it, copied an ogg and it worked, so the decicion was made. And I was sure that the day will arrive when I want to use it to port an ISO image of 800MB, so avoid 512MB devices :) . Best regards, ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'm not computer scientist, but doesn't this depend on the hardware chip in the device? Decoding ogg or even mp3 in software eats CPU and therefor battery life. That said, everything I have is mp3 or flac transcoded to mp3 for playback on my crappy old rio cali :) The reason I like ogg is not only that I have some free music and ripped CDs in ogg on my hard drive. My preferred broadcasting used real streams in the past, but meanwhile they have switched to ogg stream. If I record it for later consumption, I couldn't play it back with iTunes or one of the Apple hardware players. I often use flac to save recordings losslessly (I'm a hobby musician), but later on I convert it to ogg to save disc space. Best regards, ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

David There was just a thread about this issue this week.. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/163209/focus=163209 I think the consensus was to upgrade gcc to the latest stable version. I don't remember exactly though.

[gentoo-user] Re: Using --deep
Vladimir G. Ivanovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: --deep is almost never needed. Some people love it and tell everybody to use it. Usually people who are version number freaks. But in 90% it is useless to harmfull. Could you be more specific, please? How is it harmful? What happens to your system when you use --deep? Why is it that despite --deep being recommended[1] and used (I assume) by the majority of Gentoo users, I haven't heard of any ill effects of using --deep? (You are the first and so far the only person to recommend against it.) Being the thread owner so to speak, I'd like to ask something of you here. The converse of your question. How is it good. Can't speak for Hermman of course but I think he was suggesting that somewhere `Deep' in the dependancies of something things got tangled up and caused something to bread that has bearing on my `slow redraw' problem ending up with a need to revdep-rebuild to find the problems. I still haven't seen what is at the root of my redraw problem and haven't really heard any advice about how to debug it further. I would like to hear both sides of this since you both are obviously quite knowledgale about how gentoo works I *always* use --deep when upgrading because then I am assured of getting *all* of the dependencies of packages I am emerging. I am not aware of *ever* having system problems due to using --deep. How do you prevent packages from being installed that are missing dependencies? I have been using --deep as a matter of course when upgrading and I can say I have had system problems *absolutely every time* I've upgraded. And (Embarrassing given the sad state of my skill level) but I've been running gentoo for something like 2 or more years . I don't know if the problems I've had are attributable to --deep in any way, but I can say its likey to be at least in part due to ill informed bumbling on my part. The problems haven't always been big ones but there have always been some requiring me to post here for advice. Many were about the tangled web of kde dependancies. How would you recognize that a system problem was or was not attributable to `--deep'? Also isn't emerge supposed to find dependancies as a default behavior? In particular how can we determine what is wrong in my system causing the slow redrawing of windows and slow scrolling. Its getting annoying enough that I'm thinkin about trashing this install and going back to a stage install from snapshots and see if I still get this slow redraw. The revdep-rebuild that Hermman suggested did find problems with gcc that I fixed by re emerging it with USE=-gcj. But apparently this is not related to `slow redraw'. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] remove xorg-server to emerge nvidia-glx =Normal?
Sorry to break out of the thread where this is being discussed but I got part way thru some instructions about getting nvidia-glx setup and saw something that looks like it might throw a monkey wrench into things. I've emerged nvidia-kernel without problems. The next step is where I see this: root # emerge -vp nvidia-glx These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [blocks B ] =x11-base/xorg-server-1.0.99 (is blocking media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8762) [ebuild N] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8762 USE=-dlloader 0 kB Is this normal... is nvidia-glx a replacement to xorg-server? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

They are not in the official portage tree, but there are ebuilds on the author's site. any2vob makes any video file into a dvd compliant vob file. any2dvd leverages any2vob and goes further to make a full dvd iso with menus and chaptering (at predefined intervals). any2vob will even upmix a 5.1 ac3 soundtrack so you get a 5.1 soundtrack from stereo source. Highly recommended, but watch your hard drive space, there are very large temp files created. http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/any2vob/ http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/ebuilds/ There is also a very good long running thread on this software on forums.gentoo.org, just search the forums on any2vob and you will find it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
