[gentoo-user] portage sync error
Hello! We have a pc that hasn't been updated for a long time ago, and now I tried to update it's portage with the emerge --sync command, but I got the following error: Updating Portage cache: 89%!!! Cannot resolve a virtual package name to an ebuild. !!! This is a bug, please report it. (virtual/blas-1.0) What can I do in this case? Does it really make sense to send a bug report?

Specifying the actual kernel rather than a symlink ensures you're always booting from the correct kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] alsa problem
The problem is fixed now! I tried the alsa-driver-1.0.14_rc3, which is used by the Redflag os, and everything is fine, now. It's very weird. Just as what I mentioned above, the 1.0.14_rc3 version one is a unstable one. I have tried both version 1.0.14,the stable one that come out after 1.0.14_r3, and the 1.0.15_rc2 one, but both of them can't drive my sound card. But now, the 1.0.14_rc3 fixed it! It's a big surprise. 2007/10/14, Chuanwen Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 2007/10/14, Hans-Werner Hilse [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, On Sun, 14 Oct 2007 15:25:12 +0800 Chuanwen Wu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes,both my Windows XP and another linux os Redflag have sound. Is there anyway that I can use the Redflag's modules to driver my gentoo? Only by using its kernel, too. Then you would just copy the kernel (and initrd, if needed, but this might be a bag of problems if the initrd depends on stuff from the base system) from /boot and the according module tree from /lib/modules. Oh, I just forgot that the Redflag is a i386 OS but the gentoo is amd64 OS. So gentoo can't use the Redflag's modules and kernel(vice versa). Hm, I see. I think the different IRQs are not really worth mentioning, since they get automatically assigned. All that fooling around with different versions of ALSA didn't help much, so it boils down to - either it's a modified kernel what Redflag uses (I agree they use in-kernel ALSA), or - it's really an AMD64 vs. i386 matter. When I do #modprobe snd_hda_intel(or #alsaconf), I can see the message below appending to the ouput of dmesg: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:1b.0[A] - GSI 21 (level, low) - IRQ 21 PCI: Setting latency timer of device :00:1b.0 to 64 stac92xx_auto_fill_dac_nids: No available DAC for pin 0x0 I had a really deep look into /usr/src/linux/sound/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c, but nothing really rings a bell. I think this indicates the problem (since nothing will get routed correctly when it fails on the first pin, 0). But I don't think the problem is located in the function that prints this error. In any case, after printing that error, the initialization of the pin routing fails with an error. So it's definately a driver issue, not something about machine configuration. In any case, I think you should report to the alsa mailinglist. FWIW, I can't currently access www.alsa-project.org either. You can find the subscription interface here: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user I'm sorry that after all this there isn't really much success. One I am really appreciate for your patience and help. And I have learned some ways to detect and trace my os's status from you. could certainly do more debugging by comparing a 32bit vs a 64bit kernel with the exact same config otherwise. That might actually prove that there's something fishy. The 64bit os support is not very well at the moment. After I switch to 64bit os, I have found some applications and driver did not support 64bit os,like Eclipse. But thing will get better and better. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- wcw -- wcw -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] A specific Flash audio issue
Hi, I wonder if someone on the list would be so kind as to play this link on their system and see if the audio is good. On my system, over the last few revisions of the of rt-sources, I get somewhat garbled audio. It's listenable, but every once in a while I get very strange artifacts like the speed is being changed for some samples. This did not happen with much older kernels and only happens with this specific newsletter. It does not happen on my wife's x86 Gentoo machine nor does it happen on this machine when booted into Windows. I'm playing the link using firefox-bin so best if you can test using that. The link requires Flash support. Unfortunately the Konqueror installation on my system doesn't seem to recognize that Flash is already on the system so I haven't tested it with that. I quickly tried building gnetoo-sources but it didn't boot so I figured I'd see if someone could test this while I determine what went wrong with that kernel. Thanks in advance. http://www.optionslinebacker.com/flash/oct1307/oct1307.html Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: A specific Flash audio issue
Thanks for testing. I appreciate it. It might well be Flash running on AMD64. I've not had this issue on any other web site.

[gentoo-user] Permissions, permissions
Hi All, This is a simple question but I'm getting tired and can't think straight with this permissions problem: I am trying to create a directory within which two users will be able to save and delete documents. This directory is only meant to be accessible/readable by these two users. I created directory TEST, under /var/www/html. This contains subdirectories TEST1, TEST2, TEST3. Each subdirectory contains other files. I set the permissions recursively to apache:ftp. Both users are members of group ftp. I chmod -R g+w. When I create a new subdirectory and save a file in it I noticed that it is mick:wheel instead of mick:ftp. How do I set it up so that newly created directories/files inherit the parent group ownership? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

If not, you've probably got flakey RAM. Run memtest86 overnight (or at least for a few complete passes). I can't believe that people (myself included) use non-ecc RAM. I don't mind paying a little bit more for the RAM, but none of the desktop-grade motherboards support ECC. If you want to use ECC you've got to buy a motherboard clearly aimed at the server market -- which mean a higher price and the wrong set of features. :/ -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Is it 1974?

How do I set it up so that newly created directories/files inherit the parent group ownership? There are two possibilities for newly created subdirectories and files in this directory. 1. Same group as the creator. 2. Same group as the parent directory. If my memory is correct this is a bsd vs sysV distinction. Nowadays you get to choose the behavior you want. Since you want behavior 2 you want the set-group-ID bit set on the parent and then newly created subdirectories and files in this directory will inherit the group from the parent. So you want to chmod +2000 parent-directory The full story is in the info page Node: Directory Setuid and Setgid I just read it to check my memory and found out that apparently some systems use the set-user-ID bit so the page suggests chmod +6000 parent-directory which sets both. Also this is a gnu extension and not required by POSIX. allan gottlieb new york university -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

This causes all new files and directories in it to be owned by the same group that owns the top-most directory: chmod g+s TEST This won't change permissions on existing directories though, and you can't use chmod -R (that will sgid the files as well), so use find like so: find TEST -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \; You will also need to enable group write permission on these directories so that your users can delete stuff. Two ways: 1. Make sure both users use a umask like 775 (this is fragile as the user can change their umask any time they want) 2. Use an ACL on the directory.
