Fdisk can not work with drives larger than 2TB. Your drive may be slightly
(10 mb) larger than that, so the result. For such disks you need not Fdisk,
but GPT programs.

Yes. You emerge both beta2 and beta3, then run pg_upgrade for beta3,
provide BOTH binaries to it, it converts the base. Then you can delete
beta2.

 Hi.  I have a puzzle regarding upgrading postgresql.  In my recent world
 update I went from 9.4_beta2 to beta3, but when I tried to start the

 both old and new binaries to actually upgrade the database.  So as a

Well, i think i understand what happens (through i am not sure) - i was
upgrading 9.3 to 9.4 - they're installed in different slots, so i just
istalled two postgresql's in one time. You are upgrading 9.4 to 9.4 - so
they are in one slot and can not be installed in one time.

But then yes, one can't upgrade the base.

2014-11-10 17:59 GMT+05:00 cov...@ccs.covici.com:

 Well, I found the old binaries in my backups and did the deed, the only
 problems, was that the old data directory did not contain any .conf
 files, so I copied the new ones into the old data directory and it was
 then happy.  I m not sure what happened to the .conf files in the old
 data directory, but they had not been there for quite a while, so maybe
 this was a problem with the arlier beta.  Very strange but it looks
 good.

You can consider section 6.c in Handbook:

 If memory serves, an email can be sent letting you know what's

 you kick off an emerge then start pottering around the house doing

 and you know the emerge has karked it

 Google, Summer of Code, is a very wonderful idea for the

 http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014

 No doubt many are scheming as to what would be good project ideas.
 Many really good ideas come from the rank and file of users.
 (Gmane.org is back online).

 Those (gifted? fledgling_gifted) often code good ideas directly.

 I think now is the time to have a robust (community) discussion
 on what the users of this list think would be good ideas
 for GSOC projects, which are Gentoo centric. My experiences with
 ALL current search engines, is there is quite a lot of low_quality
 results; which may be a direct result of the masses of those
 folks trying to learn/use unix/linux/gentoo by poorly formed
 google (et. al.) searches. Those low quality efforts statistically
 stack up against those few robustly accurate searches (from folks
 like the users of this list) so as to contaiminate search engines
 by the sheer number of poorly formed search engine efforts. I.E.
 it's not the fault of the search engine(?).

 So, Naturally, here is my idea. Collectively, if you look at this list
 archive and other such gentoo-centric resources, there is a wealth
 of good information that traverses our paths, and is then subsequently
 burried into the annals of lifeless data, only occasionally pinged by
 exasperating google searches, or gleaned from the multitude of records we
 each privately maintain.

 So, some sort of tool/app/parser that can glean information from the
 various gentoo-centric resources and store the data for later searching
 would be useful. Then a variety of experimental front ends could be
 tested (or developed anew) to query that data with relevant searches
 and very targeted searches.

 By limiting the focus to all things Gentoo, we could serve ourselves
 up crudely basic, but highly valuable information specific to the
 Gentoo-centric paramenters that one uses for this in-house database.
  This
 effort would mostly priortize the data returned in searches by some
 sort of *quality metric*. For example it could be simply that the most
 experienced dev would rate a *100 (times 100) multiplier on the quality
 of
 their searches. Recognized power users might rate a *25 rating. Ordinary
 folks a *1 rating on quality. This system would not even have to be open to
 the rank and file internet, except as a source of data returned to search
 engines like google, for example.

 Other distros could eventually do the same thing, and then Google could
 probe these databases, gaining specific user-community preferences
 of excellent quality (accuracy) search-data from folks  steeped in all
 things Gentoo.

 Basically, a schemea is developed that allows the strongest of the Gentoo
 community to radically improve the quality of gentoo-specific searches,
 with very little efforts. For the devs and such, it could merely be
 a front-end to their own google searches. Folks would not have to
 use this front-end, if they do not want to.


 So, what is your idea for GSOC_2014?

 I switched from madwifi-ng to ath5k when I switched from kernel 2.6.28

 literally MINUTES to respond when it is running at 800MHz but being
 instant when it is running at 2000MHz. If I am emerging or doing
 anything to run the CPU, the wifi speed is fine. When I am
 interactively using the laptop it's not as much of an issue because
 the laptop itself is perfectly normal in its responsiveness, but the
 wifi practically dies when the CPU slows down. I tried with cpudyn and
 without (using kernel ondemand governor).

 Is anyone else using ath5k on a laptop and having this problem? I
 don't know if it is the wifi driver, the kernel, or something else. I
 did about 3 months worth of updates all at once, so that makes it a
 nice big mess for isolating the cause. :)


Hi.

I'm using ath5k and kernel conservative governor and it everything work ok

Oh, you are lucky, I've fixed this problem some minutes ago and now I see

You probably have something like 'failed to load firmware' on your dmegs.
So, you have to go to http://intellinuxwireless/, download firmware for your

There are chances that it will remove some shared files.
To avoid this use revdep-rebuild after emerge --depclean. revdep-rebuild

 postgresql major version upgrades requires dump and restores, so it

Hmm...
May be slotting would be a good idea?

I like the way how it done in ubuntu (with some kind of extra overlay): it

 Also, many of flag U package is excepted from emerge --update.

 If so, I think Gentoo's world is not whole world.


Gentoo's world only contains packages you have installed manually (emerge
package). and without -1 option. Would does not contains packages that have
been installed as dependencies to other packages.
You could view /var/lib/portage/world to see what it contains.

If you really need vigra, it is a good idea to add it to world file: emerge
--noreplace vigra
Howewer, I don't recommend add any dependencies which you are no using

Hello,

I've installed new laptop few weeks ago and everything is running fine 
except for all (most?) X applications taking few seconds to start.
I've tracked the problem down with ltrace to XCreateFontSet() call 
that blocks for more than 2 seconds.
Searching on google lead me some forums about problem with this call and 
UTF-8 encodings.
Further tests showed that the problem is related only to having locale 
set to en_US.UTF-8.

Setting locale to anything else seems to solve it (even en_US)

$ time LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 xterm -e echo
real0m2.422s
user0m0.010s
sys 0m0.012s

$ time LC_ALL=cs_CZ.UTF-8 xterm -e echo

real0m0.065s
user0m0.048s
sys 0m0.010s

That's probably the reason I never saw it before, I usually have some 
non-english locale on my system. (czech/japanese/russian, none of them 
affected)

Specificaly, it seems to be related to LC_CTYPE setting.

strace shows lots output similar to:
poll([{fd=3, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}], 1, -1) = 1
read(3, 
\1\0\212\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\351\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0,

I tried to generate al locales with 'locale-gen -A' and to install some

works fine) and nothing helped at all.


Any ideas how can I solve it?
Does it mean that I'm missing some fonts? Or something else? I'm running

That preserved-lib stuff has worked just fine for me. It's useful to

Re: [gentoo-user] libselinux.so.1 dependency problems

2008-07-08 Thread Vladimir G. Ivanovic

Andreas,

Thanks very much for the information.

Yes! I do seem to have *.la files with -lselinux in them. It looks 
like I'm going to have to do some purging and re-emerging to fix things.


Thanks again.

Sadly sys-apps/coreutils is one of them.
Recent versions - including stable - do an autodetection for libselinux 
and link against it even when emerged with USE=-selinux[1].


This should be no problem for systems which never saw libselinux (i.e. 
installed from 2008.0) but unmerging this library on older systems can 
be quite problematic.



I cobbled together a system that limps along thanks to the 2008.0 
beta   LiveCD (which does not depend on libselinux.so.1), but I am 
unable to emerge a large number of packages that seem to silently 
depend on libselinux.so.1: the ebuilds fail when ld cannot find 
-lselinux.

[...]
What gives? Where does the -lselinux come from? How can I get rid 
of   this maddening dependency?


I think that libtool is the main offender here.
At least on my system somehow '-lselinux' made its way into a bunch of 
.la files and provoked these errors.


So I searched for the packages with broken libtool archive files and 
manually emerged them (with --oneshot).
I figured out the correct order by using the trial-and-error method but 
you could do something like the get_build_order() function in the 
revdep-rebuild script.


The command I've used for searching is as follows (requires 
app-portage/portage-utils):

grep -l -r --include='*.la' selinux /usr/lib | qfile --nocolor -f - | \
cut -d' ' -f 1 | sort | uniq

Another way might be to look at the line before the error message and 
rebuild the package containing the library right before the '-lselinux' 
flag.

[gentoo-user] libselinux.so.1 dependency problems

2008-07-06 Thread Vladimir G. Ivanovic
Since the package sys-libs/libselinux is masked --- at least on AMD64 
it is --- I ran


   emerge --depclean --verbose sys-libs/libselinux

and the only reverse dependency it reported was python-selinux. So I 
removed both packages and severely broke my system.


It turns out that many, many executables require libselinux.so.1, 
despite what the documentation of --depclean in man emerge says 
(or what I think it says -- is this a bug or operator error?)


I cobbled together a system that limps along thanks to the 2008.0 beta 
  LiveCD (which does not depend on libselinux.so.1), but I am unable 
to emerge a large number of packages that seem to silently depend on 
libselinux.so.1: the ebuilds fail when ld cannot find -lselinux.


I do not have USE=selinux anywhere, and I never have. There is no 
selinux in the output of emerge --info, and none of the build 
environment files I've checked contain selinux. libselinux.so.1 is 
not in directory in /etc/ld.so.conf.  Adding USE=-selinux on the 
command line or in /etc/make.conf does not make any difference.


revdep-rebuild lists 37 packages, in particular many GNOME packages, 
that depend on libselinux.so.1, but I don't seem to be able to 
re-emerge any of them.


I ran

for pkg in $(equery depends libselinux | cut -d' ' -f1); do
eix -e $(qatom ${pkg} | cut -d' ' -f2)
done

and every package shown that depends on libselinux has actually been 
installed with -selinux. (BTW, revdep-rebuild and equery depends 
don't agree on which packages depend on libselinux.so.1.)


What gives? Where does the -lselinux come from? How can I get rid of 
  this maddening dependency?


Thanks for any help.

BTW, as a temporary measure, I've created an empty libselinux.so.1 
that seems to satisfy ld.

All you need to do is to run 'emerge @preserved-rebuild' when you are reminded

If you want to know the background, take a look:
http://r0bertz.blogspot.com/2008/06/portage-22-preserve-libs-features.html


Thanks for the pointer.

I do have one additional question: What happens when a build in 
'emerge @preserve-rebuild' fails?


I'm assuming that 'emerge @preserve-rebuild' does something extra 
beyond a regular emerge, so I can't just 'emerge --skipfirst 
--resume'. If it only removes the listed, preserved libraries in 
addition to the emerge, then I can fix things up by hand by deleting 
the named libraries.

[gentoo-user] 'Insufficient space to store' on a network share

2008-05-08 Thread Vladimir Rusinov
Hello.

I have the file server which exports /usr/portage/ via smbfs. It is
mounted in following way.
/dev/xxx to /usr/portage (~512M)
/dev/yyy to /usr/portage/distfiles (~10G, 7G currently free)

I'm mounting smb://fs/portage/ to /usr/portage (rw) on my clients, and
when I'm trying to fetch huge package portage tells me Insufficient
space to store (and yes, df -h shows that there are about 200 Mb
free, but I'm sure that distfiles/ have enough space).
How can I omit this error and force portage not to check my diskspace.

  That's a silly idea. The reason portage checks such things is to avoid
  running a command that is guaranteed to fail, and you are trying to
  bypass that.


  What is the package you are trying to fetch, how big is it, how much
  disk space do you have free (full df -h please) and what is the full
  output to the console?

 Emerging (1 of 1) games-fps/americas-army-250 to /
!!! Insufficient space to store armyops250-linux.run in /usr/portage/distfiles
!!! Couldn't download 'armyops250-linux.run'. Aborting.
 * Fetch failed for 'games-fps/americas-army-250'

$ eix ^portage$
sys-apps/portage
 Installed versions:  2.2_pre5(20:42:44 28.03.2008)(-build doc
-epydoc -linguas_pl -selinux)


Package in about 700 Mb.

On local host:
$ df -h
snip
//fs/portage512M  238M  275M  47% /var/lib/greenmice
snip

On fs:
$ df -h
snip
/dev/mapper/sys-distfiles
  9.9G  2.3G  7.2G  24% /usr/portage/distfiles
/dev/mapper/sys-portage
  512M  238M  275M  47% /usr/portage
snip

So you see, //fs/portage/ has only ~250 Mb free space, but there are a
lot of space in distfiles (and It is not emergency it distfiles would
be 100% used).
Is there any way to tell the portage Turn it off, I know what I'm doing?

Course I can make separate shares for distfiles and portage tree, but
I don't wanna to do it for several reasons.

  You have several network connections. You probably need to add some

Yes, network structure is

[gentoo-user] Trying to create nessus-bin-3.2.0 ebuild

2008-03-21 Thread Vladimir Rusinov
Hello!

I'm trying to create nessus-bin-3.2.0 ebuild.
I've downloaded Nessus-3.2.0-suse10.0.i586.rpm, checked its md5 sum, and
I've done just a `cp nessus-bin-3.0.5.ebuild nessus-bin-3.2.0.ebuild`.

But even scr_unpack() fails:
 Unpacking Nessus-3.2.0-suse10.0.i586.rpm to

I've looked into rpm.eclass, and found that problem is in

$ rpmoffset  /path/to/Nessus-3.2.0-suse10.0.i586.rpm

$ emerge -pv rpm2targz

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

 Sorry, I can't tell you how, but I can concur with your findings.
 I've tried 3 different 3.2.0 release RPMs and rpmoffset/rpm2targz can't
 parse
 any of them. However the 3.0.5 suse10 RPM does work.

 I'm going to look for a newer rpm2targz.


Well, I've noticed that rpm.eclass tries to use rpm2cpio first. I've
installed rpm package and it unpacks and installs now.
I have not yet tested installed packages, but anyway I'll submit the ebuild
and comments to bugzilla after few hours.

Just add opengl to your use flags and `emerge -v1 =x11-libs/qt-3*`

[gentoo-user] rlocate bind

AFAICT, it's not possible to run rlocated and named  at the same time. 
Rlocated requires that the capabilities module *not* be loaded, and

2. There is a Gentoo directory called /etc/vmware/vmnet8, but no

I have both, but bridged networking (for me) works with neither. With

I recently tried the vanilla 2.6.23-14 vanilla sources to see if that 
made a difference, but it did not. Of course I used the same .config

If someone could send me their .config file for

Exactly. That's exactly the point that I forgot to specify on my 1st

AFAICT, the use pattern for the two is different: The VMware 
Workstation user is expect to work primarily with the unemulated host 
OS and only secondarily with the emulated guest OS, whereas the VMware 
Server user is expected to work (exclusively?) with an emulated OS.


This means that most of the time the VMware Server user is running an 
application on an OS that itself is running on anther OS, whereas the 
VMware Workstation user is just running an application on an OS.

выдается сертификат, он (в Windows) устанавливается в корневое хранилище и
пользователи могут войти в сеть, используя свое доменное (Windows2003)

В связи с ростом популярность Linux появились люди, которые установили себе

[gentoo-user] KDE HAL: запретить монтирование определенных разделов

2007-08-31 Thread Vladimir Rusinov
Ситуация такая:

Университет, планируется постепенный переход на свободное ПО.
Сейчас на машинах стоят рядом Windows и Linux.

В Linux работая среда - KDE, настроен hal для того чтобы студентам было
удобно свои флешки подключать.
hal также позволяет монтировать и раздел с windows (как из Storage Media в
KDE, так и с помощью pmount), чего совершенно не хочется. Как запретить
hal'у монтировать /dev/sda*?

Заранее спасибо.

 Yep. I've also seen that with march/mtune set to native, GCC 4.1.2 fails
 to compile anything (here at least), so it's a bit hard to make that

You should change your kernel's config e.g. with menuconfig (if you are

In you config you should enable some drivers in Device DriversATA/ATAPI/
