On another note, I have always transferred files form the sony camcorders to my linux systems, via cp or scp, without issues. Now, the new sony (HDR-PJ760V) is giving me troubles. I plugged the usb on the sony camcorder into my gentoo system. The usb was auto discovered. I am able to use Dragon player to watch the individual files, such as 1.MTS via Dragon player and the camcorder being mounted (96 G of flash). Ok so I was then initially able to use cp to copy the files off onto the gentoo hard drive. After I did a few this way, the mount point now drops almost immediately. I can re-discover the sony camcorder and automount via the file-manager. I can see the files and play them one at a time via Dragon Player. But, when I go to copy them with: cp *.MTS /usr/local/video/jeff/basketball/TR or cp 0.MTS /usr/local/video/jeff/basketball/TR I get Erno 5 as the mount is lost evey time now. The mount drops. I never had this problem before, but it is a different camera. What really has me stumped is it worked for a while for a few files, now it drops the mount every time. I even power cycled the camcorder, to no avail. Any ideas? This sounds like a problem I had with a USB harddrive. Cause: Bad connection in USB-port (dust?) Solution: Use vacuumcleaner to clear USB-port ;) HTH, Joost

I have successfully be able to create an initramfs that does a vgscan, vgchange -a y and mounts /usr (which is on LVM). But now I (naturally) I get LVM failed to start (and of cause failed to mount /usr) when openrc processes the init-scripts. So, my question is really - should I remove lvm from the init-process and put noauto in /etc/fstab for /usr? Even if it is on my playground box I still want to be able to boot it.

It seems the problem it's in LVM, or (more appropriately) in the failure to create the /run tmpfs: # mount | grep /run tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) tmpfs on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) It seems other problems (like 张春江's one with plymouth) have the same reason. With systemd the /run tmpfsgets created, so maybe now that systemd and udev are being merged this problem will go away. For now, I think we can (finally) call this case closed; Dale, I would strongly recommend the workaround (editing the config file) instead of downgrading.

But now it's instantaneous instead of 60 seconds delayed :( I'm back to functioning vesa mode if I boot with radeon.memset=0, but that's not really my goal...yet :p Last time I reinstalled gentoo, I tried kms too (with my Radeon HD2600 card). And I had lots of problems with it - in combination with ati-drivers fglrx module (blank on boot, freeze while starting X, generell crashes and kernel panics, low performence...,...). So I finally decided not to use kms disable everything related to kms. Since then everything is running smoothly. Two weeks ago, I purchased an new video card (Radeon HD7770) and gave kms another shot. And again, everything went down the crapper. So disabled it. I can live without it for the time being. But still, I would be interested in the why?. You cannot use two drivers at once. Either use the kernel driver (which does KMS), or ati-drivers. You cannot mix drivers. Not in Linux, and not in any other OS I'm aware of. Seems like there have been some changes on that subject in time. Keep in mind, up until a few months ago I was running Windows7 on my workstation. I'm not new to linux, as I've been using linux on servers since a very long time, but the whole X stuff is kinda new for me. In the past I always experimented with linux in dual boot, and I vaguely recall that there were (or are?) different kinds of video drivers on linux. You had the drivers provided by the kernel, the drivers of Xorg - like xf86-video-ati - and third party drivers like ati-drivers fglrx. And now there's kms too, which I understand is not a driver, but a means for the kernel to setup the driver itself (resolution, color depth). So, if I now use the kernels radeon driver, i could use kms, but cannot use xf86-video-ati or fglrx, if I use xf86-video-ati or fglrx, I cannot use kms? It would be great if someone could link me to some reading material on that subject. Something that explains, the difference between kernel video drivers, framebuffer console, Xorg video drivers and 3rd party drivers. Just noticed this, and thought of you and this thread: https://www.osadl.org/Single-View.111+M5afc75f7e68.0.html Also, if you really want to be able to dig in and do interesting things without the aid of GNOME, KDE or XFCE, I highly recommend X Power Tools. The book predates KMS, but then so will anything resembling a thorough treatment. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596101954.do But a quick rundown regarding the difference between kernel video drivers, framebuffer, Xorg and 3rd-party drivers: There are two halves to the story. The kernel and userland. Both sides have their own halves of drivers for whatever functionality you need. Kernel: 1) Console drivers. These typically access the video adapter's built-in text display mode. They don't provide for graphics outside the glyphs built into the video cards. These are typically *incredibly* fast for text-mode usage, in comparison to framebuffer drivers. Enough that if you don't silence build output, you can measure differences in compile times of a large program that come from the compiler waiting to flush its stdout stream buffer. 2) Framebuffer drivers. These are simple drivers taking advantage of basic raster graphics capabilities in the video adapter. The kernel framebuffer drivers treat the display as a giant image, and draw text glyphs and other graphics onto them. 3) Direct Rendering Management (DRM) drivers. These have traditionally been how X has been allowed low-level access to 3D graphics accelerators. (I'm simplifying here a bit). The DRM subsystem has undergone at least two major revisions. It's also specific to Linux, and isn't available (AFAIK) on other systems which can run X. DRM in this context has nothing to do with 'Digital Rights Management'. 4) Kernel Mode Setting (KMS). Historically, once X launched, X used its own hardware drivers (unless you had it talk to a kernel framebuffer driver) to talk to video devices. Once X started, the kernel gave control over graphics hardware to X, and depended on X to hand it back if you wanted to switch to a virtual terminal for a plain console. That meant that if X crashed, your video setup was left pretty much in complete disarray, and you had to use a SysRq sequence to get it back. (I swear, I'll need to add that to my email signature before I'll remember it...) KMS is supposed to keep that

You didn't want to change one line in a file, which you could have easily changed back if it didn't work, so you rebuilt the whole kernel and initramfs (which are irrelevant to the bug) and downgraded? :-O Well, yea. I figure they will fix it pretty quick since the bug is active and folks are working on it. I wouldn't want my change to break something in the future when just using a known good version, one that I was using until just the other day, will work just fine. Also, I'll forget I changed that and let the config update when it gets updated again. They could lead to breakage too. Also, I was wanting to update the kernel anyway. I had trouble with my network on a older kernel and had to update to fix that. So far, the new 3.3 kernel has helped my network even more. I was actually fixing more than one issue with the kernel upgrade and downgrading was all of a one line command. I'm more likely to remember downgrading than editing a config file these days. I'm just glad to get some of this mess sorted. sighs Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output?

It seems the problem it's in LVM, or (more appropriately) in the failure to create the /run tmpfs: # mount | grep /run tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) tmpfs on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) It seems other problems (like 张春江's one with plymouth) have the same reason. With systemd the /run tmpfsgets created, so maybe now that systemd and udev are being merged this problem will go away. For now, I think we can (finally) call this case closed; Dale, I would strongly recommend the workaround (editing the config file) instead of downgrading. Eventually you will need the new version anyhow. Glad to hear it works, albeit with some issues (unrelated to the initramfs). Regards. I'm glad too. Now to keep this mess working. That's my new concern. lol Thanks much for all the help. I needed it. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!

Re: [gentoo-user] Nginx with PHP-FPM
Hello, ok i have found the problem. Maybe is it the php.ini files, because i has deactivated the ini files at all and the system run. But in disable_functions is not set phpinfo, why nginx give it not out? Regards Silvio
