Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Moving root filesystem to a new partition
I'm going through a transient at the moment, having more-or-less given up on trying to keep KDE-3 and not being ready for KDE-4 (or vice-versa). I've been trying a few other distros, and even Gnome (shows what a parlous state Gentoo's in; I couldn't imagine ever considering Gnome six months ago). Maybe not in line with the OP, but I had the same issue last month with using kde3 and needing to switch. I tried kde4, but my video card is garbage and I didn't want to tinker to find the reason X was so slow I went for Xfce and have been quite happy. Things run even faster now! ~daid
Re: [gentoo-user] OS inaccessable after brief uptime in X
I keep having a problem where the OS becomes inaccessable after running in X for a while. I haven't noticed a time pattern yet but it doesn't take long sometimes. I see no problem when starting X and I see nothing in /var/log/messages that gives a clue about what is happening. I'm running fairly up to date Desktop profile on kernel: I'm not sure how to track down the problem since I'm not seeing any give away clues in /var/log/messages So far, once the lockup has happened it appears there is no way in other than the reboot switch. Can you read through the recent thread titled ~amd64 : X11 (?) crashing? Myself and others post many trouble-shooting ideas for buggy X operation. It could be any number of things, but I think at least 4-5 different suggestions were posted. That'd be a good place to start. If all that's tried, then let us know and we can consider other options. On that thread, and maybe another, there is discussion about FF and youtube. I found I had to recompile FF after updating the kernel for audioout on flash, since there must have been some changes to ALSA. Regards, daid
Re: [gentoo-user] fsck won't work if ac cord not attached?!
Hi group, When my netbook boots under battery power w/o the ac adapter connected I get this warning msg in the boot window: 'Skipping fsck due to not being an ac adapter'. Chaos ensues. The warning appears in /etc/init.d/fsck. How do I fix this? Some option in /etc/conf.d/fsck? I did some googling and found two links which could be of service. The first is the Gentoo Handbook on power management: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml Do you have powermgmt-base installed? Also, the top post here seems similar to your question, but I can't find anything like lvcheck on my own system (or for Gentoo...maybe it's named something else): http://markmail.org/message/5ipnsva3xkdyzzfy I can say that with newer kernels (2.6.30 at least and above) if I pull the ac power, my backlight automatically dims. I'm pretty sure it was done automatically by either the kernel or another update (probably based on some option like Power Management enabled in the kernel), since I don't have any power management stuff setup except battery level monitoring.

[gentoo-user] How to determine which mobo without opening case
How can I determine the motherboard make and model? I mean without opening the case. Various hardware reporting tools such as uhinv and syscriptor do not give that information (far as I can tell). In fact syscriptor cannot even report pci info and gives the message `cannot open /proc/pci' (not surprising since /proc/pci does not exist)

I know of a very good windows utility that will help you out called SIW. See the link below. As far as linux utilities to read that information, I have limited experience. The problem is that SIW only reports what the manufacturers decide to jot down in their hardware. That means if the manufacturer doesn't want you to know, you probably won't. As a matter of curiosity, why can't you open the case? Regards, D http://www.gtopala.com/

Without -v, as in this case cdrecord does not read the drives buffer fill

The lack of anything valuable in /var/log/messages seems to indicate that either a) no syslog messages were generated (common with client apps) or b) there is a message but the system locks up before it can be flushed to disk. Some ideas: Set up an ssh session to the offending machine from a different machine that is permanently on. Wait for the problem to occur and see if anything got printed on the ssh console. Set up a syslogger on a remote machine and send all your logs to it. If that produces nothing, try having the local syslogger replicate ~/.xsession-errors to the remote logger. I often find that remote logging manages to keep working after the local disk has given up.

More likely you got the chipset drivers wrong. There's been a lot of changes in that area over the past 18 months or so. gzip is the default compression for the kernel, I can't think of any reason why a kernel cannot decompress itself.

Re: [gentoo-user] fsck won't work if ac cord not attached?!
You say Chaos ensues ... in what way? Further errors, failure to boot, file system corruption, or...? The problem isn't likely rooted in the fact that it doesn't run an fsck when the system's booting on battery, but rather that you have some more pressing problem that should be addressed. /var and /home fail to mount with predictable consequences. Roy Marples, the developer is aware of the problem says I need to git the openrc project on his repository to fix this. Getting that sorted now. Never used git before.

Go ahead and turn off fsck at boot to deal with these more serious problems first. This is controlled by the 0 or 1 flag in /etc/fstab (1 being fsck during boot every so-often). You can make it look something like: /dev/sda3 / ext3noatime 0 0 Of course, if there are serious filesystem structural problems you'll want to get them solved, but it's either a LiveCD chroot or disable fsck at boot.

Re: [gentoo-user] cdrecord fails to burn dvd

Re: [gentoo-user] troubles with emerge --sync
So I managed to fix the other wonkiness on my system (viz, gcc and emacs not emerging). Turns out, I had been sloppy in putting together my make.conf and used march=prescott when I should have been using march=pentium4. Fixed it, ran emerge -uDNe world. Things emerge now. Really late post on this, but an emphasis on march settings is warranted. This will totally bungle all kinds of compiling. If you keep around things like gcc-3 for rainy days, you'll also find that some newer march optimizations are not defined in older gcc versions, and this will make you all confused why nothing will compile with your hardened compiler (which, incidentally, has g77). I have three march items commented out (with comments on what each one is) in my make.conf so at least I think about it if I'm trouble shooting. I got thrown off the other day setting up a newer machine with the same kind of problem (it needed old code and gcc3...grrr). Regards, daid

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [OT] Seamonkey and LastPass
Dale wrote: So, another question. Is there a tool that is local and would do something like this? I am using Seamonkey 2.0 nowadays. It seems to have some tools available to it that the old Seamonkey doesn't. Dale :-) :-) There is a tool I've used in the past called PasswordMaker. It uses a master password and a flexible set of parameters to generate passwords and if necessary, enter them on a site. It has a plugin for firefox and I believe seamonkey too. I can't check this second because their site appears to be down (bandwidth exceeded). It doesn't store the passwords anywhere and will only store the master password on your machine if you specifically ask for it. Once you enter the master password and select the appropriate settings (length, character set, hashing algorithm etc etc), the password will be generated. You can also use the current website as a salt, so using the same settings will yield a different password for different sites. Sounds like I'm advocating this very heavily, in fact I don't have much experience with it. It sounds reasonable to me, but I'll let you guys discuss it :) Matt
Re: [gentoo-user] fsck won't work if ac cord not attached?!
Right. wrong Of course, if there are serious filesystem structural problems you'll want to get them solved, but it's either a LiveCD chroot or disable fsck at boot.

Re: [gentoo-user] fsck won't work if ac cord not attached?!
besides the problem has to do with the power cord and/or the battery -- not the fs. I'm sending this from the netbook in question with the power cord attached; if I was on battery power it wouldn't work. Look in your /etc/init.d/fsck, you'll see the warning. There ought to be some boolean thing I can put in /etc/conf.d/fsck to over-ride it, but apparently not.

[gentoo-user] nfs home directory vs kmail
Hi all, I recently moved my local home directory to an nfs-mounted directory. Now I'm having trouble with kmail. It seems that the permissions on ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/sent-mail/cur are being... changed... What I'm seeing is this: drwxrwxrwx 5 mdiehl users 4096 2009-11-28 03:41 . drwx-- 8 mdiehl mdiehl 4096 2009-11-29 18:43 .. d? ? ? ? ?? cur drwx-- 2 mdiehl users 4096 2009-09-02 19:32 new drwx-- 2 mdiehl users 4096 2009-11-29 18:43 tmp Then, after a while, the permissions get changed to something more sane without me having done anything. I've googled for this and not found anything. Strangely, kmail won't start unless it can read my sent-mail folder. Any ideas about how to fix this? -- Take care and have fun, Mike Diehl.
[gentoo-user] bluetooth headset
Hi, I am trying get a bluetooth headset working with bluez4. most documentation (even on the bluez site) is is for bluez3 and not applicable. Ive installed bluez4, the gnome bluetooth applet (2.26) associates with the headset fine. The headset is a Motorols S9 and I primarily want just a2dp playback, but it would be nice to get the mic working as well (for VoIP/egiga/...) at some point. But alsa reports: [AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM bluetooth [AO_ALSA] Playback open error: No such file or directory Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=bluetooth' Could not open/initialize audio device - no sound. Audio: no sound Video: no video Ive tried adding the bluetooth stanza as both a separate stanza pcm.bluetooth, and as bluetooth within the existing pcm scope in /etc/asound.names. The headset works on a freerunner (SHR using a2dp) but its not working on the laptop under gentoo :( Anyone got a usable bluez4 guide, or knows how to do this?

The os is inaccessable via ssh, or port 25 (its also a mailhup for home lan). Went back to the actual machine and it is inaccessable from console as well. It's happened repeatedly now for a week or two, but I've been busy with other stuff, and if I need it running I've just left it in console mode. The problem apparently does not occur in console mode.

Looks like you need more info for a diagnosis. Unfortunately this is a hit and miss game as we don't have much clue what's going on. The lack of anything valuable in /var/log/messages seems to indicate that either a) no syslog messages were generated (common with client apps) or b) there is a message but the system locks up before it can be flushed to disk. Some ideas: Set up an ssh session to the offending machine from a different machine that is permanently on. Wait for the problem to occur and see if anything got printed on the ssh console. Set up a syslogger on a remote machine and send all your logs to it. If that produces nothing, try having the local syslogger replicate ~/.xsession-errors to the remote logger. I often find that remote logging manages to keep working after the local disk has given up. Obviously, these are long range diagnosis techniques and you have to be patient. emerge -e world will take around 24 hours and may well fix your problem, but not tell you what the cause was.
