[gentoo-user] another upgrading to gcc 4.x issue
During 'emerge -e system' I have got emerge errors for two packages (sys-libs/db and sys-libs/pam). At both cases an error is something like this: ... checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking for i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc... i686-pc-linux-gnu-cc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. ... All other 120 packages were emerged without problems. Where to dig in? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Does this filesystem contain a grub directory with stage2, menu.lst

# grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts /etc/fstab
Um...you mean /etc/mtab, right? Otherwise your fstab is going to
contain things that are not really necessary, like usbfs and sysfs
filesystems
Anyway, this step is really not even necessary even with mtab, as
Gentoo will fix it when you boot.
Still failed, only a black screen with 2 ! scatering on it.
Neither
grub displayed.
Did you install grub? If so, did you use grub-install or my previous
instructions? What output did you get from that? I guess try
re-installing grub.

[gentoo-user] Deleted /var/lib/portage/config
I accidentally deleted /var/lib (I meant to delete /var/lib/mysql). The only damage seems to be the deletion of /var/lib/portage/config and /var/lib/portage/mysql I'm not worried about world, I can easiliy fix that over time by running emerge -p --depclean and adding world entries. There are probably only about 10 packages anyways because this is a mythtv box. But what is config all about? On my other machine it looks like the file contains a bunch of hashes for config files in /etc/.

[gentoo-user] Trying to active the irda into my laptop
Hi people: I'm trying to turn on the irda on my laptop but I don't know how to know which chipset it is, I think I need to know this to know which module I need to compile in the kernel. The command 'lspci'[1] does not show me any thing that looks like an irda. Looking for 'irda' into 'dmesg' neither find any thing. I have enable the infra-red into bios. I tryed to follow the tutorial like: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_mobile_phone_connected_with_IrDA But when I try to turn on the irda I have an error: # /etc/init.d/irda start * Starting IrDA ...

[gentoo-user] Re: glibc completed screwed my system
A very small step in the right direction...I unzipped the quickpkg I made into the /mnt/gentoo and now I am able to chroot in there. If I try to re-emerge glibc-2.3.6 though it complains that downgrading is a sure way to destruction. I'm pretty sure it would be safe for me to downgrade because I didn't really do much of anything after installing 2.4 so I'm not sure what the problem would be. The problem is that it still think 2.4 is installed. Ah, here we go. emerge -C =glibc-2.4* worked fully this time (it didn't work fully before, which I forgot to mention). Now it will let me re-emerge =glibc-2.3* overtop of the quickpkg that I unpacked. I am also not compiling with nptlonly (which came in to my profile through 2006.1), so it is now emerging with the exact same use flags that it was before (and the same as what the quickpkg is made from). So hopefully everything will be cool and I will be able to reboot into this machine (I couldn't even boot into it after this b0rking happend).

The entire point of genkernel is to make it easy for newbies to compile a kernel, complete with all needed modules, lvm raid support if needed, maybe a splash and an initramfs. I suppose you *could* use the correct options to genkernel to do it, but if you are creating a monolithic kernel then you must know what you are doing, so what you want is: cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig make copy kernel, System.map, .config and whatever else you like to keep to /boot; edit grub.conf reboot Using genkernel for this is overkill, much like a bulldozer is overkill for digging one hole to plant a rosebush :-) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This is probably where it's switching back to /bin/sh, but I'm not prepared to spend much time looking for it to save 14 seconds. Speaking of which, you probably should see the shell used in the scripts from the sys-apps/baselayout package. All shell scripts use /bin/bash and not /bin/sh.

If you turn them into wavs you have not only wavs based on reduced information, you remove the stuff that makes mp3 sound 'better' than they are. If you encode them again, you are removing more information. Minor technical correction: wav formats are not even compressed, much less lossy. So converting from an mp3 to a wav (which is really just PCM audio with a header attached) is very much like playing the mp3 through your speakers. There should be no difference between playing a wav generated from the mp3 and playing the mp3 itself. But the point of what you said is correct...the wav file will not have the same quality as the original recording that the mp3 was generated from, and an mp3 generated from it will have even lower quality. Although I suspect that most people couldn't tell the difference between a 1st gen and 3rd gen mp3 if the bitrate is high enough. When I download stuff from iTunes, record it to CD, and then rip to ogg, I certainly can't tell any difference between the 3 versions. To answer the OP, I've used sox in the past to convert between formats. It can also apply lots of other transformations (noise filters, volume normalization, tempo adjustments, etc) to the files. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

From it's manpage:
installkernel installs a new kernel image onto the system from the Linux
source tree. It is called by the Linux kernel makefiles when make install
is invoked there.
The new kernel is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}, a link is made
from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the previously installed
kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old.

title Whatever

The title doesn't really matter, but the kernel line needs to

For grub.conf you can use the symlinks installkernel creates (vmlinuz and
vmlinuz.old). Now you'll never have to change your grub config again, just
make sure /boot is mounted ;)

Slapping right hand to forehead..., This something I never thought of! Thanks for the idea. The other thing to consider is, you don't have to use all the gentoo init scripts... Just this week, I evaluated minit, initng, runit and fcache. For me, initNG offered the best overall improvement. However, I got even better performance with my own solution. Basicly, I use the very minimum number gentoo startup scripts. All I use are those that initialize the disks and that's it. The rest of the bootup process is done in local.start. My local.start configures all the devices on my laptop, including the lo, eth0 services. It loads the modules in correct order, brings up portmap, nfs, samba, cups, fam, hal, dbus, alsa, etc., etc. Where possible I run the commands as detached processes for even more performance... My local.start is ugly as hell, but very fast as there's very little bash/python scripting involved... and none of the python bloat that gentoo has going on in /etc/init.d. I'm able to get to a fully functioning command prompt in like 10 seconds after the kernel is done loading. Some configuration still goes on in the background, but I never notice it. I've got a lot more testing to do, but at first blush I believe the generation of this type of local.start could be automated. What I see happening is, once a gentoo user is satisfied that the box is setup to their liking, they'd run a script that would evaluate /etc/runlevels, scoop the necessary setup information from /etc/conf.d and generate a local.start providing the new boot process. The runlevels could be pruned automatically and on the next reboot, the new boot process is used for a dramatic decrease in boot time. I dunno, this could be fun. ;') Cheers all, Jerry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Bonehead mistake
Hi,After you guys get finished ROTFL, I hope someone can help me out.I did a real bonehead thing. I *hate* slotted packages. What can I say, I'm a neat freak. Normally, with the exception of genkernel, if a package is going to install into a new slot, I remove the original and install fresh. That's what I did tonight after syncing, but it was stupid. After syncing, I was told that there was a new version of gcc and that it would be installed into a new slot. Yes, I know that gcc is a compiler and that, without a compiler, things just don't want to compile. However, I removed it anyway and even ignored the error message that it was part of my profile and could damage my system. So, what's done is done. Is there a way to fix things without having to reinstall my whole system?Thanks in advance for your help and I hope I've given you the best laugh you've had for a while! :-) Colleen

BUT: For my CHOST there is an entry in /etc/make.conf: CHOST=i386-pc-linux-gnu So I think, that the checker script for glibc looks there and thought, my system is running a i386 CPU, but it runs an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+. Yep, you will need to change your CHOST to i686-pc-linux-gnu to get the new glibc. Is there a way (possibly another one then completly installing all stuff from the beginning or to recompile all...) to correct my fault ? Nope. After changing CHOST, you need to emerge -e world. And I would keep a live CD close by just in case. Your other option is to mask glibc-2.4, and stick with 2.3. echo =sys-libs/glibc-2.4 /etc/portage/package.mask -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

GPhoto2 does not list this camera as a supported model. I see there is a program called camera but it is masked. Any other suggestions? As always, my thanks. Adrian Emerge gphoto2 and gtkam and have gtkam scan for a camera. See if anything comes up. or you can use the comand-line and: *|gphoto2 /|--auto-detect OOPS!
