Re: [gentoo-user] What about kernel 2.6.19 ? (Solved)

I had exactly the same problem. When I upgraded from 2.6.18 to 2.6.19, for some reason make oldconfig didn't work (maybe my misunderstanding of it). This meant that though I thought that the old settings were copied across, in fact they weren't. I found the culprit of this to be that the default/generic IDE controller wasn't enabled in the kernel. Try going through your kernel config checking that your IDE/SATA controller is being built. That does it: one has to enable SATA after make oldconfig, as SATA / PATA options are no more included in SCSI option and thus not re-enabled by oldconfig.

I didn't have much joy with a Belkin and would like to get a card which has a chipset that is supported well in Linux. Which chipsets have the more mature drivers? You don't state which model of Belkin you tried, but I can assure you that they do a set (USB, cardbus, PCI) of 802.11g cards that are excellently supported by the rt2500 drivers. These are excellent, are OSS you can get them with `emerge rt2500`. I've also used cards which use the prism54 madwifi drivers, which both do master mode (for building a wireless access point or base- station under Linux) and are both excellent. Jean Tourrilhes' page at HP.com is quite up-to-date on the situation with the prism54 drivers, I think, and I've never seen a cardbus card using this chipset, anyway, but if you can get hold of a card that's well supported by prism54 then it's very easy to use and the driver is in the main kernel tree. The Atheros chipset supported by madwifi is capable of doing 802.11a as well as b g - not all cards do a, but they're not too difficult to find. madwifi-ng is a little non-standard in the way you configure the card (so I guess it might not work so well with graphical wireless configuration utilities) but it offers some more advanced features (VAPs, or virtual access-points in master-mode, for instance, allow you to have WEP unencrypted interfaces on the same card; hence with iptables you can set different firewall rules for ath0 ath1). http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ Linux.Wireless.drivers.802.11ag.html#Prism54 I recommend this card, but if you're outside the UK contact in advance regarding shipping: http://networkned.co.uk/Belkin_Cardbus.php FULL DISCLOSURE: I am involved with this supplier.

e.g.:

KEYWORDS=~amd64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~x86
So, you can simply find the KEYWORDS variable in the ebuild you are trying
to use and add one of those keywords to your package.keywords. Of course,
if you do anything other than ~${ARCH}, where ${ARCH} is your current
architecture and it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
To my surprise, the output is:
KEYWORDS=
There are... No keywords? I'm puzzled. I'm using x86 architecture.
Should I then edit the ebuild and manually add my arch to KEYWORD
variable? I'm just guessing - maybe it will help somehow.

[gentoo-user] emerge sys-apps/hwinfo-13.0 fails, missing function dbus_connection_disconnect in sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2
Emerge sys-apps/hwinfo-13.0 fails, missing function dbus_connection_disconnect ( should be in sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2 ?) I'm not really a C programmer but I tried replacing disconnect with close in that one call from hal.c in hwinfo. That makes it compile ok, but running it makes dbus complain that I'm not allowed to close a shared connection.

Basically the install is done from the command line. You partition your disks yourself, you create the filesystem, install the basic packages, configure the configuration files with nano or something, etc. It's not hard, its just intensive. To answer your question, yes you can install to your just your 2nd HDD. You can opt to install GRUB or LILO where ever you wish leaving the previous bootloader on the MBR intact. As to the medium. I use the minimal personally. The Live has an automated installer but I've never been able to get it to work.

[gentoo-user] Gnome and Portage issues
Dear developers, and users of Gentoo Linux,
I'm quite experienced Linux and Gentoo user (user, not developer).
On my Gentoo box there are three possible bugs - or not bugs, just
configuration or other things - that annoys me.
I'm using the latest software found in Portage tree. The first Gnome
issue: I like to enjoy start icons on my Gnome panels (next to System
menu). Everything is ok, I put Firefox, Thunderbird, Gaim, Xchat icons
on the panel...etc, then I log out of Gnome (using the standard and o.k.
way, system - log out).
When I log in back, those icons disappear. What is more annoying, none
of them, just some of them. I don't know what mechanism drives that, now
my Computer, Home folder and Terminal icons are consistent, they doesnt
disappear, every other icons disappear. Remember I'm talkin about
startup icons that I put there by hand from the Gnome menu. The tray
icons, clock, mixer, etc etc is working flawlessly. All in all, is it a
possible Gnome bug that should be announced on bugs.gentoo.org (or the
upstream Gnome bug tracker), or have I just messed up something?
On the start, I installed Gnome-Light, then I removed that
metapackage and emerged gnome. After that Gnome worked, but this icon
annouyig bug appeared. I tried to clean up my home for config files and
folders, then log in again, but did not help.
Other. Portage. I have set some USE flags globally in make.conf and
other package-specific USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use.

Above there are my config files. As you can see, there are several
global and several package specific USE flags set. When I'm doing
emerge -pve world, I can see that it wants to rebuild every packages
on the system (that is normal) but I can see that it wants to use the
changed USE flags! emerge -N world dont want to do this? What's going on?
Some examples from emerge -pve world:
ebuild R ] media-gfx/eog-2.16.2 USE=jpeg -debug -lcms 1,028 kB
[ebuild R ] x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.3.3 USE=X gnome opengl -debug -doc
-joystick -odbc -sdl -unicode* 18,519 kB
[ebuild R ] gnome-extra/deskbar-applet-2.16.2-r1 USE=-debug -eds
-spell 603 kB
[ebuild R ] mail-client/evolution-2.8.2.1 USE=crypt dbus* hal ipv6
ssl -bogofilter -debug -doc -kerberos -krb4 -ldap -mono -nntp -pda
-profile -spell 12,619 kB
[ebuild R ] media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.0.5 USE=X jpeg mpeg perl
png* tiff* wmf* zlib -bzip2 -doc -fpx -graphviz -gs -jbig -jpeg2k -lcms
-nocxx -truetype -xml 5,259 kB
[ebuild R ] gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.3 USE=-berkdb* -debug -doc
-firebird -freetds -ldap -mdb -mysql -oci8 -odbc -postgres -sqlite
-xbase 1,051 kB
As this email is clear text, I cannot mark, but from the USE flags, it
is obvious that Portage now considers all my USE flag demands, although
emerge -pvN world don't. That is what I don't understand.
Is this a possible Portage bug, or I just messed up something?
Some other config files:
ganja gyuszk # cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
x11-plugins/desklet-ftb ~x86
x11-plugins/desklet-weeklycalendar ~x86
net-im/amsn
app-emulation/wine ~x86
ganja gyuszk #
My whole system was rebuilt (emerge -e system, emerge -e world) with the
make.conf above. Only USE flags was changed.
Gnome again. Then I click System, administration, gdm setting (My gnome
is hungarian, I don't know what is it called exactly in english),
nothing happens. It tries to grant privileges as I can see on taskbar,
but nothing happens. I tried to adjust privilege granting setting in
gnome options, didnt help.
All in all:
- gnome: icons disappear, privilege granting doesnt work
- portage: USE flags are not considered the right

I didn't have much joy with a Belkin and would like to get a card which has a chipset that is supported well in Linux. Which chipsets have the more mature drivers? You don't state which model of Belkin you tried, but I can assure you that they do a set (USB, cardbus, PCI) of 802.11g cards that are excellently supported by the rt2500 drivers. These are excellent, are OSS you can get them with `emerge rt2500`. Well, I didn't want to bore you - I think I may have already posted about my troubles with it in the past. It is a Belkin USB WiFi adaptor, Model No. K7SF5D7050A, which seems to have a RaLink chipset. I have had some success running it with the rt2x00- drivers from CVS and USE=rt2500usb (the stable rt2500 crashed my system every time). However, after Christmas the rt2x00 driver has not worked and keeps giving me kernel panics every time I plug it in the USB port, e.g.: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=18890#18890 I suspect it may have something to do with the 2.6.19 kernel. All different CVS builds that I have tried crashed. Tried to install pre-Christmas builds from the archives, also crashed. Hence I'm fed up being without WiFi for so long and thought of using an Amazon voucher I have handy to get myself a nice cardbus; but this time I would like to make sure that I have something which definitely works with Linux. However, if you have any ideas to make my Belkin USB work again then I'll use that voucher for something else. :) Thank you all for your helpful advice and links. I recommend this card, but if you're outside the UK contact in advance regarding shipping: http://networkned.co.uk/Belkin_Cardbus.php FULL DISCLOSURE: I am involved with this supplier. Having been burned once I would rather go for something which has matured enough to be in the kernel, if possible, but thank you for the suggestion all the same. -- Regards, Mick pgp8DC7XEoaiN.pgp Description: PGP signature

[blocks B ] xfce-extra/xfce4-windowlist (is blocking xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.4.0-r1) Yea, upgrading to XFCE 4.4 is a PITA. The package structure/organization was changed completely, so emerge gets confused. It knows it can't install libxfce4util because a bunch of older packages that were combined into libxfce4util are still installed. For whatever reason, emerge doesn't know enough to remove the old packages. It's not a matter of emerge being confused or not knowing enough to remove the old packages. It's a matter of emerge not being permitted to remove any packages that temporarily break things without the user knowing about and permitting it first. So instead it aborts while informing the user about the block and allowing the user to make a decision. In this particular case it's not even about anything needing to be removed (at least not anymore).

On Monday 19 February 2007, Mike Adolf wrote: I have been using Linux for several years, but am new to gentoo. I just got a new dell xps 410 system with a intel duo E6400 processor. I have tried all the distros I've used in the past, kubuntu, suse, mandriva. All had problems serious enough to not use them. The problems may stem from using prebuilt x86 distros. Maybe since gentoo is built during install it might have a better chance. Sorry, but that's never a good reason for using Gentoo. If a binary distro compiles every option under the sun then the software will still work, but the binaries might be a bit big. Compiling on your machine gives no discernable performance benefit for the average user. Gentoo's strength is in being able to enable or disable individual features in each package. So, if you (say) can't stand Red Hat becuase it defaults to a Gnome DE, use Gentoo by all mans. If you can't stand Red Hat becuase you think it's slow, then you have faulty hardware and Gentoo is going to perform about the same... What would be the 'best' medium for me, minimal or live CD? I have a high speed connection. Doesn't matter, it comes out to the same anyway. The minimal CD has only the absolute minimum sources on it, so you have to download the rest. The LiveCD gets you up and running in an hour or two, but the packages on it are bound to have updates (because OSS projects release early and often), so with your first world update you will download new versions. Use the Live CD if you want to get a working machine quickly. If watching gcc output scroll off the screen turns you on (it does for most of us around here) then use the minimal by all means. Two avoid a typical dual boot install. I would like gentoo to boot from my second hard drive. During boot up, I can now select which HD I want to boot from. Will the install process let me assign a boot disk? It's been a while since I did a virgin install, so things might have changed recently. Back when I did my last install, the process was completely different to a binary distro, and one of the steps was to partition the disk manually, install grub and edit grub.conf exactly the way you want it. So your answer is yes, you can assign boot disks, but it isn't a check box you click. But, the latest installers may well have changed the entire process alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?

Thanks, Mark My guess would be that portage cannot assign the broken binaries (/usr/bin/avibench etc) to an ebuild, and therefore there cannot be anything to emerge. They might be orphan binaries from a previous incomplete unmerge, or something locally compiled, or even files installed from a foreign package system (.tgz or .rpm perhaps?) alan Alan, Seems reasonable. Would I (Could I?) then do an equery depends on each binary and assuming nothing depends on it remove them by hand without causing damage? You're on the right track with the wrong command. 'equery depends package tells you what packages depend on the given package. You want 'equery belongs binary' which will tell you what ebuild put the file there. You get three cases: 1. It's an orphan, left over from an unmerge that wasn't fully successful. if you don't need them, delete them. 2. A package was installed, and it created it's own binaries for it's own use. Portage didn't put them there so doesn't know about them. This is rare and usually applies to config and other data files. In this case it's up to you to figure out what the file is as portage can't help. 3. You compiled something long ago by hand and didn't put it in /usr/local/ like you were supposed to, and used /usr/ instead. In this case you get to remember what you did by yourself :-) I'd want to do another revdep-rebuild every so often to ensure that things remained consistent. revdep-rebuild after every 'emerge -uND world' is highly recommended alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
