[gentoo-user] www-apps/groupoffice php problem / alternative?
Hello List
I'm using www-apps/groupoffice (Installed versions:
2.18.6(2.18.6)(17:26:20 18.01.2011)(-vhosts)) since years and I'm also
using www-apps/mediawiki (Installed versions: 1.16.1(1.16.1)!t(12:59:13
12.01.2011)(imagemagick mysql sqlite -math -ocamlopt -postgres -vhosts)).
In my /etc/portage/package.mask I had=dev-lang/php-5.3.4 and
=www-apps/mediawiki-1.14.0 because I was too lazy for upgrading
mediawiki (and because groupoffice needs that old php version!).
Now I decided to upgrade so I removed those two maskings. I solved all
update/upgrade/compile proplems so all components where finally
installed successfully. But groupoffice doesn't work now. It works when
I change the php version to the older one but than mediawiki will no
longer work. Here's my php eselct settings:
eselect php list apache2
[1] php5.2
[2] php5.3 *
So I installed both versions (see eix php at the end of this mail).
Now my three questions:
1. Is it possible to tell apache to use the old php for groupoffice and
how can I do that?
2. For groupoffice is a newer version availlable which would use the
newer php version but it's not in portage. Why?
3. Does anybody use another groupoffice? Actually I need only the
feature for email. Usualy I connect with thunderbird to my IMAP-Server
but when I'm on the way and have only a browser I want to access IMAP
and send Emails anyway. I tried all groupware in portage like horde and
so on, and none of them fitted my needs.
Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot and cheers

Also, as Neil stated, make sure your new SATA chipset drivers are compiled into the kernel and not as a module; however, it you switched from say, for example, and nvidia-based motherboard to another nvidia-based motherboard, then you don't need to worry about that. Yes, to boot from a livecd is a easier way to found a booting problem. After boot from livecd, any partition can be mounted to check the contents. And also you could recompile the kernel and install packages after mounting all the required partition and a chroot operation. -- oooO: (..): :\.(:::Oooo:: ::\_)::(..):: :::)./::: ::(_/

[gentoo-user] OT: Backing up emails
Hi guys, I know this isnt really a gentoo question but you always seem to come with an amazing answer in the end ;) I've got a friend who uses dreamhost for mail, and he's trying to move away from it to something a little more customisable. The problem is that he has around 2.5Gb of mail in various IMAP folders on this server. I'm trying to find some way of downloading all this mail but keeping in its current folder structure. I was hoping fetchmail could do it but it doesn't appear (after a quick read) to support arbitrary folders. I am almost thinking of contacting dreamhost support and asking if they can tar up the maildirs and give me access to them via FTP or something. I'm hoping someone here has an idea for something that will let me make a copy of all his mail, in the current folder structure and replicate it onto another machine.

[gentoo-user] xf86-video-ati from git?
Hi, I'm interested in how I would go about getting the xf86-video-ati package from git? I would like to try the newest driver, if possible, as it is apparently the reason I don't have 3d rendering enabled on my HD5750 Evergreen card. Is there a good Wiki on how to do this?

James I'll report back more when I have things I can substantiate. As for now I'd recommend being careful and not using it. For some reason, possibly related or possibly not, none of my vmplayer appliances work at all. They just die with error messages leaving lock files behind in their respective directories and processes left running in memory? I don't see how this would be caused by the git version of the radeon driver but I'm not a happy camper at the moment. Note that the only positive I've seen in this short test so far is the KDE menus scroll up and down far more smoothly. Cheers, Mark

My specific problem ended up being the root=/dev/hd[a-z] part of the kernel line.

[gentoo-user] Mounting the rootfs by UUID?
This is a followup to my grub2 thread, which got a bit too long for comfort. I actually have grub2 installed and working properly, so it's very do-able. But the main point (for me) was grub2's ability to find partitions by LABEL. That is, if you know the LABEL of the boot partition, grub2 is guaranteed to find and load the kernel from that partition, no matter how the BIOS juggles and shuffles disk numbers as you plug and unplug USB drives. That feature of grub2 is rilly kool, and all that, but the next problem is how to tell your cleverly-located-and-booted kernel what partition to mount as the root filesystem. That's where those dreaded kernel panics come from, when the kernel can't find the device number that was hard-coded into it when you compiled it. The usual way to override that hard-wired device number is to give the kernel the root=/dev/ boot parameter in your grub menu.lst. But, if you have some arbitrary number of USB disks plugged into your machine, you have no way of knowing in advance what the correct /dev/ is going to be. Your BIOS is going to shuffle those device numbers around however it likes. Sadly, there is no kernel boot parameter (yet) that will accept the LABEL of the rootfs. But there is (maybe?) a kernel parameter that will accept the UUID of the rootfs instead of /dev/ or LABEL. The problem is, I can't get it to work -- the kernel still panics when I give it a UUID instead of /dev/. (Note that I'm *not* referring to /etc/fstab, where you can easily use UUID, or LABEL, or /dev/, as you please. But if the kernel can't find the partition where /etc/fstab lives (the rootfs) the kernel can't read it, right?) I've found references (even in the grub2 wiki) about passing root=UUID=uuid on the kernel parameter line (instead of in /etc/fstab) but that doesn't work for me. If you read /usr/src/linux/init/do_mounts.c (for kernels = 2.6.37) you will see that the code is looking for the string PARTUUID= instead of UUID=, so I've tried that also. Kernel panic again. Has anyone managed to use that UUID feature to tell the kernel where to find the rootfs? Beat me with the cluestick, please!
