Re: [gentoo-user] udev or Gentoo issue?
I'm having a problem starting the USB network interfaces properly on
one of my systems. I brought the problem to the udev list and they're
indicating that it's a Gentoo problem:
https://www.mail-archive.com/systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org/msg18840.html
Should I file a bug?
- Grant
Like pointed out in the upstream thread, it's either wrongly built
net-misc/dhcpcd (should be with USE=udev)
and if not using dhcpcd, it might be a bug in net-misc/netifrc's
/etc/init.d/net.lo depend() { } section --
it's possible it's missing dependency that forces /etc/init.d/udev start
first, specially if OpenRC is using parallel
startup
So not really a udev bug, rather a misconfiguration in dhcpcd USE flags
OR bug in dependencies of netifrc's net.lo script
I'm starting two interfaces, one that uses dhcpcd and one that does
not. Both fail to start in the default runlevel until they are
hotplugged later. I do have dhcpcd built with USE=udev. The string
udev does not occur in /etc/init.d/net.lo so maybe that's the
problem? Please confirm that I should file a Gentoo bug for this.
- Grant
Try adding 'after udev' to net.lo's depend() { } section and see if that
helps, if it does, file a bug
saying so.
I added it like this and rebooted:
depend()
{
after udev
but the result was the same. I also have udev and udev-mount in the
sysinit runlevel.
It was more of an educated guess than 100% accurate knowledge. I can't
think of an another
way to force netifrc to behave, since it's not coded in C, and it can't
link to libudev, so...
However since you say *both*, even the one with dhcpcd fail to start,
before filing that bug,
see if disabling netifrc hotplugging works:
# ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules
Will that disable interface renaming or hotplugging? The system with
the issue is remote and if the interfaces aren't renamed or if
hotplugging doesn't happen then I won't be able to access the system
for up to 24 hours. That's fine and I'm happy to test stuff like this
anyway but I don't think this particular test will be informative
because:
It will disable the hotplugging, it means you *must* have the net.*
stuff added
to the default to runlevel yourself, like eg.
# rc-update add net.foobar default
They're in the default runlevel:
# rc-update|grep net.enp
net.enp0s20u2u1 | default
net.enp0s20u2u2 | default
I can disable hotplugging with rc_hotplug in rc.conf. Hotplugging is
actually disabled by default there and my network interfaces won't
start automatically that way.
Does your kernel have timing info enabled? If so, it would be
interesting to look at your dmesg output.
My guess is that your kernel is taking a really long time (several
seconds) to initialize your network cards.
I have this:
# dmesg | grep enp
[4.297862] systemd-udevd[659]: renamed network interface eth0 to enp0s20u2u1
[4.778289] systemd-udevd[660]: renamed network interface eth0 to enp0s20u2u2
[6.496193] ax88179_178a 3-2.1:1.0 enp0s20u2u1: ax88179 - Link status is: 1
[7.905393] ax88179_178a 3-2.2:1.0 enp0s20u2u2: ax88179 - Link status is: 1
#
That doesn't tell us when the network initscripts tried and failed to
start but this from /var/log/messages/everything/current shows the
first time in the boot sequence that a dependent service failed to
start because of the networking failure so it should be before this:
[kernel] [0.787433] serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12

2014-05-15 6:38 GMT-06:00 cov...@ccs.covici.com: Did you enable lvm2-lvmetad.service or socket (and set use_lvmetad=1 in lvm.conf)? Yep, did not see that starting. I have seen an odd behaviour regarding this sometimes, particulary when I upgrade kernel, for some reason in my first reboot, my other LVs (I have another 2 VGs) aren't activated, but on the second reboot(Ctrl+Alt+Supr when it has got stuck), it works fine. this has happened to me in the last 4 kernel upgrades.

That's the issue; since version 037, --hostonly and --hostonly-cmdline are *separated*. You need to specify both. With -H, you don't get the kernel cmdline, and therefore your kernel cannot load your LVM volumes since it doesn't know their... names? I don't knot the terminology.

You've got to get really specific on the details of the embedded OS and such details. hth, James Hi, The embedded system is a Sansa Clip ZIP mp3 player. The OS is rockbox (www.rockbox.org). I think I cannot expect help from the manufacturer as the manufacturer will not support another OS as his own firmware...which is more limited in compare to rockbox. In the meanwhile it looks like that there are two sources of trouble: The sdcard, which acts as addtional flash memory extension. I changed the sdcard I used to use with a another one, which work much better -- with rockbox. The original firmware does not have a problem with either card. Since such firmware - neither the original one nor rockbox - has the abilities of a fully fledged OS like linux for example I am looking for a simple method to revert a somehow corrupted filesystem on either flash memory back to a valid one. I think it is better to loose some files (which can be regenerated) for the benefit of a sane filesystem than to insist of using a invalid one (and screw it up beyond repair with each new write to it). Rockbox supports the execution of lua scripts (somehow limited...no floating point, limited OS lib etc...). So, when the player needs to be hard resetted which lead to a not-so-valid state of the filesystem it would be nice, if a lua script would be able to revert the filesystem back to a valid state. If (see initial question) this would be possible by simply delete all files which were altered since last execution of the script and rebbot the play than...that would be nice. But: I dont know, whether the logic behind my initial question is valid and reasonable...or simply as corrupted as the filesystem i want to repair... Any further idea is heartly appreciated!

I want to use my sysklogd for my syslog, how can I use that with systemd? I think you can do that with systemd.log_target=kmsg in the kernel command line. Thanks so much for all your help on these things. John, could you please include here the output of lsblk, your fstab, your dracut.conf, and your lilo.conf? output of lsblk: NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:00 931.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:10 3G 0 part /boot ├─sda2 8:20 1000M 0 part /mnt/oldgentoo └─sda3 8:30 927.6G 0 part ├─linux--files-64--root 253:00 3G 0 lvm / ├─linux--files-swap 253:10 2G 0 lvm [SWAP] ├─linux--files-64--usr 253:2065G 0 lvm /usr ├─linux--files-usr--src 253:3035G 0 lvm /usr/src ├─linux--files-tmp 253:4010G 0 lvm /tmp ├─linux--files-64--var 253:5020G 0 lvm /var ├─linux--files-home 253:6030G 0 lvm /home ├─linux--files-audio 253:70 990G 0 lvm /audio ├─linux--files-usr--bbs 253:80 256M 0 lvm /usr/bbs ├─linux--files-hard2 253:90 704M 0 lvm /hard2 ├─linux--files-scratch 253:10
[gentoo-user] Re: Firefox and Adobe's DRM plugin

From that article (which is by Mozilla's CTO, by the way), Mozilla will distribute the sandbox alongside Firefox, and we are working on deterministic builds that will allow developers to use a sandbox compiled on their own machine with the CDM as an alternative. IMO they *must* make that possible. Otherwise the sandbox itself has to be a binary blob, which would negate much of reason for having a sandbox in the first place -- it would only be an alleged sandbox. He also says, As plugins today, the CDM itself will be distributed by Adobe and will not be included in Firefox. So if/when Gentoo gets around to making the CDM available, ISTM it will almost certainly be a package separate from Firefox. If so, maybe there will be a USE flag for Firefox which pulls the CDM in as a dependency, but that flag should be off by default (again IMO).

One interesting experiment would be to delay the boot process to allow the kernel additional time to detect devices. Adding rootdelay=10 to your kernel command line should do the trick, unless you are using some broken initramfs.
