Re: [gentoo-user] anyone use 389ds?
I don't know. Last time when emerge --update --deep --newuse world I suffered some Blocks, I don't know how to solve that properly.

Re: [gentoo-user] Lilo vs. LVM
Quoting Konstantinos Agouros elw...@agouros.de: Hi, I have a VM with a gentoo guest. For testing I set it up with an LVM Volume Group that consisted of only one disk. Now I added a 2nd resized the FS but lilo stopped working. When I call it I get: # lilo device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address Fatal: device-mapper: dm_task_run(DM_DEVICE_TABLE) failed /boot is also on the LVM volume. Is maybe grub the answer to my problem? Sorry for the late reply, I am way back on this list reading :) I have the same exact problem that I haven't been able to investigate yet, calling lilo gives me: device-mapper: table ioctl failed: No such device or address Fatal: device-mapper: dm_task_run(DM_DEVICE_TABLE) fail The funny thing is that I can workaround that chrooting from a livecd, and invoking lilo from that, as described in the gentoo handbook. The other funny thing is that this problem happens randomly, for example last week, I upgraded my kernel, run lilo from my system and it worked. If I try today it doesn't, but may work in a few days... I really don't know how to explain that, anyway I always keep a livecd around, just in case. Should you switch to grub? I don't know, for me is not an option since I'm running a triple boot (osx, windows, and gentoo) on a macbook, and my gentoo partition is under lvm (root included since I cannot create anymore physical partitions) and last time I checked, grub-static (yes, it's a no-multilib profile), didn't support booting directly from an lvm partition. -- TopperH http://topperh.ath.cx This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

I've been having some networking problems lately, and apparently it's mucking up my logins and things like sudo sometimes as well. Thanks to Walt for telling me these two problems might be related. I'm on a MacBook, and I wouldn't say this is the first time I've had networking issues, but the hardware may not be at all the problem. At home I use wireless and NetworkManager for that. This is because I've never managed to get wicd working correctly for my wireless. Just tonight I had to stop dhcpcd for NM to actually connect. Maybe this is normal, I kind of forget how I hack things sometimes, though. At work I'm using DHCP, and the nameserver is controlled by the network. In that case, if I reboot, I (sometimes) get a correct IP. Normally I'm on top of what's controlling what, but I'm more confused these days. I can't tell if it's done by net, or dhcpd or what, since restarting them doesn't usually reboot net.eth0. Sometimes I get wicd working on it. It's kind of a mess! Very curiously, as in my previous post I mentioned, sometimes I'm getting resolv.conf for a university I visited like last month. Why or how that would happen I don't know. It's some config problem? I need to dig through everything, since sometimes at the university I statically connect, but I'm pretty sure all those are commented out. Why it will assign me up to three different nameservers, seemingly randomly, for ethernet, I can't understand. So, firstly I'll need some troubleshooting. I already have wireshark installed, so that could be helpful. I guess what might be helpful right now is how to purge my networking stuff and just start it all from scratch. There is so much garbage installed right now so I can hack it together that it's just a mess (this happened because I can get it to function eventually, yuck). Cheers, daid

Make sure your kernel is not compiled with built-in radeon support, and make sure the radeon kernel module is not loaded (by blacklisting it in a *.conf file in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, with a line that says blacklist radeon.)

There is so much garbage installed right now so I can hack it together that it's just a mess (this happened because I can get it to function eventually, yuck). Some tips that will get you sorted about 19 times out of 20: Yes, purge all the /etc/init/net.interface stuff. I've yet to get that method to work on notebooks, which can be anywhere anyplace when started up. That system is great for servers and desktops that don't move around, lousy for notebooks. Dump NetworkManager. This too I never got to work reliably, if at all. It seems to want to hook into the distro default stuff, meaning /etc/init.d/net.* and has the same issues. Use wicd. Really, use wicd. All your problems will just magically go away. It is designed to do what notebooks need done - dynamically connect to the best network connection at any given time. It's highly scriptable too. The number of people here over the years complaining about nm is obscene. The number of people here over the years complaining about wicd is close to 0. Seriously, just use wicd, dump the rest. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

It never occurred to me to need network management for wired connections as well (I've never had any need for it so it didn't enter my mind). All I've ever done with wired network is enable dhcp in /etc/conf.d/net and install ifplugd. For wireless I enable wpa_supplicant module in /etc/conf.d/net and add the networks either manually to the config file or by using wpa_supplicant's GUI for scanning, adding and editing the defined networks. Everything starts automatically when I turn on my computer and connects automatically. I don't do any /etc/init.d/net.xxx stuff manually at all. That was probably the recommended way to config back in 2003-2004 when I set up my Gentoo machines and I've never had any reason to change it since it keeps working. So that's why I called myself old-fashioned. I've never used wicd or networkmanager and I suppose I've been lucky to not encounter the problems that you guys have. I will keep it in mind if my luck changes for the worse in the future. :) Thanks Paul

Won't that affect other packages, too?
389ds wants libtool 2.2.6b which is in SLOT 1.5.
You have 2.2.10 which is SLOT 2.
So they can install side-by-side without colliding.
You'd have to ensure 389ds uses the correct libtool and that other packages
don't get confused. I have no idea how to do that - every time I look into
libtool I come away thinking it's an unholy mess that should never have been
suffered to spawn. This directly results in my skills with it remaining at
zero.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge --unmerge fails
Have you tried upgrading to the latest version of Portage 2.2? The newest version in the tree is currently portage-2.2_rc95, while you're still using portage-2.2_rc67. Perhaps there's a bug causing this that was fixed in subsequent release?

I'm still with the 2.1.x portage, so I can't comment on the version you're running. Were your python and portage just recently updated? Did you run python-updater after the upgrade? Perhaps the python ebuild does that for you, I'm not sure. Anyway I'd run it again just to make sure. This could be a new bug in portage, too. I'd suggest downgrading to your previous portage version -- but I'm not sure how safe that is. Anyone else know?

It sounds like someone at your work might be (accidentally) running a rogue DHCP server... For the 192 address - yeah, someone has probably plugged a WLAN or ADSL router into the local network, and other people will be have the same problem. If they were purposely running a rogue DHCP server to perform a Man In the Middle attack you wouldn't notice any connectivity problems (assuming they set it up correctly). When dhcpcd fails to get a response from a DHCP server it will typically fall back to Zeroconf/RFC3927 behavior and assign a a169.245.x.y address. Getting the university address is very odd. AFAIK dhcpcd has no function to fall back to the address from an expired lease. Grep your logs for dhcpcd and post the result.
