[gentoo-user] Help with Xen
Hello, people.
I've been trying for the past few days to get Xen working on Gentoo,
still no success.
I already have a dom0 kernel working, but can't get domU guests to
boot. I got installed:
sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.18-r12
app-emulation/xen-tools-3.4.2
app-emulation/xen-3.4.2
The dom0 kernel is 2.6.18-r12 (the recommended). For the domU, I tried
both the same and the latest gentoo-sources, but neither of them
works.
According to /var/log/xen/xend.log, there seems to be a problem with
hotplug scripts. I don't know the internals of Xen, so I'm not sure if
this is a udev issue, or something within /etc/xen/scripts
Anyway, here's the script for the domU guest I'm trying to run:
name = tidus;
memory = 1024;
kernel = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-domU;
disk = [ 'phy:machines/tidus.system,xvda1,w',
'phy:machines/tidus.swap,xvda2,w' ];
root = /dev/xvda1 ro;
Pretty basic. For the disk, I've tried both phy:machines/tidus.system
and phy:/dev/machines/tidus-system, they both fail exactly the same.
When I try to 'xm create -c' the vm, I get these in xend.log:

hotplugStatusCallback
/local/domain/0/backend/vbd/4/51713/hotplug-status.
It then stops there for some time, and finally gives up and destroys
the vm. xm create gets the error: Error: Device 51713 (vbd) could
not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.
The rest in xend.log is just some messages destroying and releasing resources.
I can mount the lvm device without a problem (installed Gentoo on it
by mounting on /mnt/gentoo).
Dom0 kernel is working fine, all hardware is fine. I have the relevant
sections turned on (backend stuff for dom0 and frontend stuff for
domU).
From the udev rules (/etc/udev/rules.d/xen-backend.rules), I see that
for the vbd devices, it should be calling /etc/xen/scripts/block:
SUBSYSTEM==xen-backend, KERNEL==vbd*, RUN+=/etc/xen/scripts/block
$env{ACTION}
However, I edited this file and put a simple echo in the beginning,
and it seems udev is not calling this script.
I googled a lot, searched a lot, but still can't get this to work. I'm
using this list as a last resort :)
This is a clean install of Gentoo, using profile
hardened/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib, if it makes a difference. My
CFLAGS: -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -march=nocona
-mno-tls-direct-seg-refs -pipe
Anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!

[gentoo-user] Re: Help with Xen
Just as a follow up, I got it up and running.
It seems to be an issue with the old 2.6.18 kernel. I grabbed a recent
ebuild from http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list
(2.6.31), and it's now working like a charm.
Thanks anyway!

[gentoo-user] Stable postgresql
Hello, list. I'm setting up a pgpool-II cluster (made an ebuild, available at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196300) of postgresql servers, and when I looked for the available versions on portage, I was kinda astonished to see version 8.0.13 marked as stable, and both 8.1.9 and 8.2.4 marked as unstable. The 8.0 tree is from 2004, 8.1 tree from 2005, and 8.2 was first released on 2006, almost one year ago. I exchanged a few emails with a postgresql developer, and he told me that I should go with the 8.2 tree. The developer stated clearly that there is no reason to stick to 8.0, and the benefits of 8.2 (improvements, bugfixes, etc) were way too many. So, I was asking myself how is the process of making one package going from unstable to stable on Gentoo. In fact, when I told him my distro's stable version was 8.0.13, he asked if I was running Debian :) -- Bruno Lustosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lustosa.net/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Minefield on Gentoo
Hello, list. Is anyone here using Minefield (aka Firefox 3) on Gentoo? I'm trying to use it, but some sites have been showing nasty font problems. For example, if I try to open slashdot.org, no fonts are shown. The reason I'm asking it in this list is because I have the exact same Minefiend version on my home computer (running Ubuntu), and it doesn't show any problems at all. Also, as slashdot is a really high profile site, I wouldn't expect a problem like this to stay for over a month. I tried reinstalling my Gentoo box, but same problem happens. Tried to switch video card also (onboard geforce to an external riva - both running the nv driver), but it doesn't help a bit. Firefox 2 opens sites normally, so I don't think this is a X or font problem. In fact, if I highlight the invisible text with the mouse, sometimes it appears. It's very very weird. So.. if someone is able to run Minefield (and open slashdot), could you please just tell me what's your box configuration?

Thanks, I'll try the ebuild as soon as I get subversion installed. I'm still in the middle of compiling gnome stuff. I was running Minefield directly from my home dir. I just downloaded the tar.bz2 from the nightly directory, unpacked and it was all set. From about a month back, it started with these font problems. What video card and driver are you using?

Yes, I thought it might be some problem with cairo, which might affect X. I've had some problems with cairo in the past, and as Minefield's graphics display relies on cairo, perhaps it would be a problem with it. I'll have a search on gentoo bugzilla. But first, what card would you use, if you don't choose nvidia? AMD/ATI? With the latest cards not even 2D is possible anymore. And their drivers really suck. That's the problem...

[gentoo-user] Nvidia and Minefield?
Hello, list. I'm running Gentoo on my box, and got (almost) everything on ~x86, with the exception of gcc, glibc and binutils, as these have rendered my box completely b0rked in the past. (un?)fortunately, this machine has an nvidia graphics display, and we all know nvidia linux drivers are very far from perfect. I myself have seen all kind of strange behaviour and lockups with them on various machines. Now, I'm helping test Minefield (a.k.a. Firefox 3). And here comes the problems: - If I try Minefield with nvidia drivers, I experience X lockup (100% cpu and completely unresponsive) as soon as I try to either open a message on Gmail or try to compose a new mail. I was going to post this message when it locked. - Firefox 2 with nvidia drivers seem to be OK (I'm posting this right now on it). - X with opensource nv drivers eat 80% cpu time even when doing nothing. My box becomes very sluggish, and it looks like my old 486 dx2 :) I find it very strange that Minefield can bring X down by simply opening a message or trying to compose new mail. I have managed to reproduce this error here several times. When this happens, I have to ssh in, kill -9 X, and then wait a bit for gdm to restart it. This is very very annoying. If I could, I would leave nvidia forever, but I guess there are no better (or less worse) alternative, so I must stick to these crappy drivers. Also, this seems to have started after I had to replace nvidia-drivers with nvidia-legacy-drivers. Any ideas?

[gentoo-user] Slooooow gnome dialog
Hello. I'm using audacious as my music player, and having all sorts of trouble with it. As it's a gnome application, it uses all of its dialog windows. For example, when I press the eject to add files, it opens the gnome open dialog. And here starts the problems. As a background, I have my /home mounted via NFS. When I try to switch into my home dir, it takes a few seconds to display it all. I don't know why it takes so much to simply render my home dir. The real annoying problem is when I try to enter my 'mp3' directory by typing it. It's not a real directory, but rather a symlink to another mounted partition where my mp3 files are. If I simply type 'mp3' and press enter, audacious freezes and starts consuming 100% cpu. It seems to be ignoring that 'mp3' is not a symlink, and try adding all files inside it recursively, consuming lots of memory and all cpu. If I double click 'mp3', it shows fine. However, this is most annoying. Don't know if this is an audacious specific bug, it seems to be a problem with the gnome libraries somewhere. Anyone can reproduce this?

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with new glibc and libnss
On 9/18/06, Richard Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah, that's the right thing to do at this point. My guess is that llibmysqlclient.so will move to /lib along with every other library that might possibly be needed at boot time, and a symlink will appear in /usr/lib for it. Tried that too :) libmysqlclient, for instance, needs libcrypto and libssl. I could make it myself, but it would make it hell to maintain the upgrades. I think the right fix would be in glibc though.

[gentoo-user] Problem with new glibc and libnss
Hi folks, As soon as I upgraded my system to new gcc and glibc, I started to get a very weird problem at boot time. I'm using libnss-mysql to authenticate users, and my nsswitch.conf is set to check files first, then mysql. At boot time, /usr is not yet mounted, and as such, anything that would need to connect to mysql would fail (because libmysqlclient is in /usr/lib). However, the problem is that udevd is not starting without /usr mounted. A simple 'ls' on root dir fails as well, even though all files and dirs there are owned by root:root (and of course, root is on passwd and groups). An strace indicates that both of them are trying to access /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so, and when they get the No such file or directory, they fail with this message: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 604: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)-r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! My workaround (and a kinda ugly one) was to edit /sbin/rc (the script that calls udevd) and put there just before calling udevd: mknod /dev/hda7 b 3 7 mount /usr (my /usr is in /dev/hda7) This makes it work, but I'm sure someone might have a better idea than that, because I'll lose this as soon as the package that owns /sbin/rc is updated. This worked before the last update to glibc, I just don't know why it tries to connect to mysql now (either it didn't before, or it did try but would not fail like that). Can anyone shed some light on this? -- Bruno Lustosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lustosa.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I don't normally use nss_mysql, but I just installed it on my box to see what an strace ls would reveal, and it does not show libmysql being accessed when files appears first for passwd, shadow, and groups. Hello. I have just tried it again, and surprisingly it's working now, even though I already had it this way: $ grep -e ^passwd -e ^shadow -e ^group /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files mysql shadow: files mysql group: files mysql carcharias ~ # strace -f -e open -o /tmp/strace.out ls -l / /dev/null carcharias ~ # grep mysql /tmp/strace.out Same result here, no access to mysql whatsoever. carcharias ~ # strace -f -e open -o /tmp/strace.out ls -l / /dev/null carcharias ~ # grep mysql /tmp/strace.out 30644 open(/lib/libnss_mysql.so.2, O_RDONLY) = 3 It seems to be trying to find it. In my root dir, I have all files owned by root:root, don't know how it is there, but in my case, it wouldn't need to try mysql for that. Also the outputs of emerge --info and emerge -pv sys-libs/glibc might help. Well, even though mine seems to be working very very fine, a friend who had the same problem still has it. The versions of glibc, libnss-mysql and baselayout are the same as mine, although he's running om amd64 (I'm on x86). I just had a look over there, and udevd doesn't start. An strace shows it trying to open libmysqlclient on /usr, and as it's not mounted, it fails with that Inconsistency detected error. Anyway, here are my versions: [ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3 USE=nls nptl nptlonly -build -glibc-omitfp -hardened (-multilib) -profile (-selinux) 0 kB [ebuild R ] sys-auth/libnss-mysql-1.5 0 kB [ebuild R ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5 USE=unicode -bootstrap -build -static 0 kB For me, this looks very very strange. I mean, I know it *should* work with files mysql at nsswitch.conf, but why mine works and my friend's doesn't is a mystery for me. At least for now. I'm pretty sure baselayout has nothing to do with it, I listed it just because it owns /sbin/rc. Problem seems to be the way nss is trying to resolve things over there.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gmail + Email Client = No way

Otherwise, it only grabs about a hundred or so emails at a time, and will never get the latest emails. As well, the time (...) Samuel, I've had similar problems with Gmail, but I'm not using thunderbird. I was getting mail using standard fetchmail, delivering them to a local maildir and then using good old mutt to display them. I had to do this twice in the past, because my mailbox would fill and I had to empty it, so I could keep receiving mails (*yes*, that's it, I filled my 2.5gb inbox twice). The problem I had was getting the mails in some strange order, and only by the hundreds. As I had about 3 emails, I had to keep fetching and deleting until I got all mail. It's a bit weird, but I'm pretty sure this isn't an issue with thunderbird, but an issue with Google's POP server. It just doesn't show all your messages if you have lots of them. Maybe they do this to avoid trouble, as if the connection is broken before the client sends the QUIT command, the messages are not deleted. Of course, I had Gmail set to delete mail already received via POP, I haven't tried without this set. -- Bruno Lustosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lustosa.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] gnome-terminal
Hello. I noticed that after the last upgrade to gnome-terminal, my TERM variable is set to 'gnome'. The way it is, it causes all kind of trouble, when, for example, I ssh into another machine and get my TERM set to gnome too. Things then don't work correctly, vim doesn't highlight colors, arrow keys don't work, etc. I think that's because the remote machines do not understand this kind of terminal, and so fall back to 'dumb' or something like that. What's the problem with leaving TERM=xterm when under gnome-terminal? Isn't this a fine standard for all X terminals? Is there a gnome-terminal configuration somewhere that lets me set the TERM that I want? I'll have a look at gconf. Well, that's it. -- Bruno Lustosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lustosa.net/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] X.org is b0rked - BadIdChoice
Hello.
After the last upgrade, X is completely broken. I can start it, but
applications randomly crash. In fact, not so randomly. It's almost as
if I was running xkill. If I click on the background, nautilus dies.
If I click the panel, it dies. Applications that are run directly will
also crash after a few seconds.
I don't know how to start, but it seems to be a X.org issue, as it
happens with other window managers as well, and even without a window
manager (tried to start X with just a xterm).
I tried to google for 'BadIdChoice', but couldn't find much.
I also tried to upgrade from xorg 7 to 7.1, but this still causes the
same errors.
Can anyone help me with these?

I don't think it should be tied into having anything else upgraded, with the exception of xproto 7.0.7, so I'm a bit surprised you're hitting these bugs. Good job tracking it down, though. Yes, perhaps instead of masking individual package versions, I should leave some of those packages tied to x86, that would still allow some updates.

I'd be greatly pleased if someone could help me on this issue.We have a number of old machines hanging diskless on a fairly nice LTSP box. So, this is a good server with a bunch of 6-7 machines using X remotely.No problem at all, everything working fine... ... that is, until one of them hangs.Certain old machines tend to hang a lot, and when they hang, their processes runningon the server don't die, or at least don't die immediately.When they are rebooted and log on again, certain applications won't run, either complaining about lock files (OO.org), about another running instance of itself(firefox), or mibehaving because of existing files in /tmp (gnome with orbit files).There are other applications behaving like this. Anyone here using LTSP ever done any workaround to this? I thought about makinga wrapper script to gdm so that when someone logs on, before starting anything atall (window manager et all), it would kill every running process on the server except itself, and only then pass control to the window manager.This is an ugly hack, I know, but I don't see a straightforward solution (apart frombuying loads of new expensive machines). It seems to be a problem between X client and X server. In my opinion, the client windows should die if the corresponding X serveris not there anymore, but that's not what happens.-- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora| Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Network Administrator/Web Developper | ICQ: 1406477Rio de Janeiro - Brazil|

[gentoo-user] xorg and transparency
Hello. I have been experimenting with xcomposite in xorg, to enable transparency and other effects. I added this to xorg.conf: Section Extensions Option Composite Enable EndSection and this under the Device section: Option RenderAccel true Option AllowGLXWithComposite true Things are working fine. I can now call on xcompmgr and transset to enable transparency on windows. However, things are incredibly slow. Only effect that doesn't seem to cause a slowdown are the shadows and menu fading. All the rest, pretty slow. I'm running gnome 2.12 (with metacity), xorg-x11 6.8.2-r5, and nvidia drivers (7676). GLX seems to be working fine (I can run glxgears in composite enabled server). Also, I have experienced a few problems. Firefox window got fully transparent somehow and I couldn't get it back. If I try to log out, the dialog where it asks logout/restart/shutdown doesn't appear also. gnome-panel goes to the back, and windows appear in front of them. Kinda small bugs, but still bugs!

[gentoo-user] ntp problem

Some machines can sync fine, and some don't. All of them can reach the server (same network), and there is no firewall at all.

Granted, the source files won't need to be read from disk, which is an advantage, however, the file reading time should be very small compared to the time it takes for the compiler to translate the source code into machine code. Also, there's the ammount of memory you will lose, memory that could be used by the compiler. In some cases, gcc can eat very big chunks of memory. And if you use -pipe in your cflags, the gcc output isn't really written to disk during the various stages of compilation. Instead, it's piped through the processes.

Re: [gentoo-user] AthlonXP flags

Every gentoo user who likes to mess with every flag in gcc should at least read gcc's online documentation. Of course I have commented that out and compiled X.org with my normal cflags. I haven't found where strip-flags is defined to see what it really strips, but I have confidence in my cflags (-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64 -fomit-frame-pointer). -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil | -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Good diagram app

Re: [gentoo-user] Good diagram app
Take a look at Inkscape. Many very nice features, some overlap with dia, some quite different. I emerged inkscape, but it's not quite what I need. Need something to draw flowcharts and diagrams. KOffice has just expanded with a new diagram tool called kivio . It looked pretty good, almost made me wish I had some use for a diagram tool. Will emerge koffice to have a look at it.

I guess it could be something with your CFLAGS. I had this once when I tried -march=amd64 (instead of athlon64). So, when it would try to compile something, it would give an error and fail the check, saying the compiler could not create executables. The error you want to look should be near the end of the file, I think. If you don't want to post config.log to the list, feel free to send it to me privately and I'll have a look. -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil | -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Restore from a backup? :-) As you are posting here, I guess that's not an option. You are probably missing the big directories /var/db and /var/tmp. /var/db is (at least it seems) where information about each emerged package lies. I'm not sure which trouble you will pass without those. Perhaps someone may enlighten you more than I. /var/tmp is where portage compiles packages, and can be safely deleted. I don't know about the directory structure though. Perhaps reemerging some packages like baselayout would reconstruct them. -- Bruno Lustosa, aka Lofofora | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator/Web Programmer | ICQ: 1406477 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil | -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] nvidia drivers and glx
Hello.
After some update, the GLX extensions stopped working.
I noticed it because opengl xscreensavers would just segfault. After I
quit X and tried to restart it, I would get a segfault when trying to
load the glx extension.
The xorg.conf hasn't been changed.
Finally, I had to remove the glx module from xorg.conf to have it
working again (no 3d though).
I tried re-emerging nvidia-{kernel,glx}, and also opengl-update
nvidia, to no avail.
Also, after this, I updated the drivers to the latest version (I was
locked in 7167-r1, now I'm at 7174).
I'm running gentoo on an athlon64.
Anyone knows what make it fail? I looked into emerge.log, and only
packages I saw that could generate weird things was baselayout and
glibc.

That makes portage keep all the cache intact, but consumes a lot of hard disk space, especially if you're talking about OOo. Use this option with ccache and it'll resume the build dynamically or so have I heard! To resume an emerge, I normally do as follows: 1-go to /var/tmp/portage/package/work/package 2-make 3-after make completes, I call ebuild directly passing 'install' as argument, and then qmerge. However, I don't know why (and haven't bothered to discover), mas sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't.
