[gentoo-user] Recompiling the whole system
Hi,
I have a gentoo system that I've installed (stage 2) a few months
ago with the default options, no optimisations. After some research I
decided to add some optimisations in the CFLAGS and USE variables on the
make.conf. I'll take my chances with the following configuration in CFLAGS:
-march=athlon-xp -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -m3dnow -mmmx -msse
-mfpmath=sse
-fforce-addr -ftracer -fmove-all-movables -fprefetch-loop-arrays
-maccumulate-outgoing-args
-ffast-math
I'm aware that it is risky to include options like -ffast-math and
-mfpmath=sse, but I reckon that if it passes the TEST fase while merging
it should work fine, and there are people out there that used all these
flags on gentoo stating that their systems seem to be stable and working
fine (and faster), so I'll give it a go.
But enough of preliminaries, let's go to the questions:
* My system is a bit outdated, so if I emerge --update and emerge
--emptytree (in whichever order) I'll spend many unnecessary hours
compiling many packages all over again (mostly all the kde 3.4.1).
Question: Is there a way to do a mix of both?
* I actually started with emerge --emptytree world, and failed twice
(I have maketest in FEATURES ): gettext failed while asking for missing
libraries (libIdontRecall{x,y,z}.so), so I disabled the maketest, then
emerged with --resume, aborted after gettext was installed, enabled
maketest again and finally continued emerging with --resume. Question:
is there a way to enable/disable the maketest for a single package while
emerging many? Note: I believe the gettext TEST phase failing is
unrelated to my choice of compiler options, it seems to be buggy
* I decided to emerge -f -e world on one session (to speed things
up), and after a few packages were downloaded start emerge -e world in
another. Question: Is it any dangerous to run more than one emerge
simultaneously? Wouldn't it be a good idea to have emerge download all
the required packages in the background while compiling?
* emerge failed while testing the glibc (due to the noatime setting
in /, which seems to be a bug in the testing script). By this time the
emerge -f -e world had finished downloading all the packages. I
remounted the partitions with atime and diratime and attempted to
--resume, but it would not resume it. Question: did it fail because the
other emerge had finished? How/where does portage store the details of
the current emerge to allow resuming? Is there a way to resume starting
at a particular point?
* I saved the output of emerge -e world --pretend to a file, removed
the brackets and their contents and prefixed each package with an =
(equal sign), deleting all the 65 packages that I had previously emerged
successfully. Then attempted to emerge ` cat packages.txt ` and to my
surprise the list included the required updates, so I wen't for it.
Question: is it expected to have some packages upgraded when the
packages emerged were specified as =package-x.y?
* I tried emerge `qpkg -I -nc |grep -oe '^[^ ]*' ` --pretend and
it seems to do the job, but it looks like there are more packages there
than in the list of emerge --emptytree world --pretend , some
violating dependencies, others blocking while requirying the ~x86 flag.
Question: Are absolutely all the packages recompiled with emerge
--emptytree world?
I'm sorry to be such a pain in the arse, you must be exhausted if
you reached this line! Anyway, thanks in advance for your support.
Ezequiel Tolnay
BTW, the glibc package failed again, this time while testing
tst-cancel17 ... :-(

The whole PC industry is not standard, if it was, I could unplug my mouse, plug another one completely different and it would work without changing the software. But that's good, cause it means using software allows engineers to develop new hardware that can do things that are very usefull. On the other hand, that means that OS programmers go crazy trying to support all these different hardwares, and with the whole copyright stuff, those who create the hardware want to control WHO uses it and do not open its drivers code, this way making the lifes of the OS developers a living hell if they do not make a lot of comercial agreements. That's where Lin looses to M$ (and only there). Now, lets imagine the list of new hardware created every day, its a BIG database, and growing alot, now lets think about 10% of it is not compatible with standard or generic drivers, that is still a LOT of space. So, we get win, with its old 30 Mb space required (3.11), then 200Mb (95/98) and now almost 2Gb (XP). The fact is that we need the hardware corporations to release drivers for its hardware that works on all systems, take a look at NVidia, it took me 10 minutes to install my video drive, both on Win and Lin.

What I meant to say is: To support new hardware should be more of a hardware engineer problem than an OS programmer one. At the risk of playing devil's advocate, there's a flipside to this. Code is [almost] never perfect, and anyone who subscribes to gentoo-announce knows that there are almost always security flaws discovered (and patched) after an initial version is released. If more functionality is pulled into the hardware, with the same potential for flaws (security or otherwise), then you've got a tough predicament. As a hardware engineer, do you spec more expensive re-programmable parts, or do you risk premature obsolescence (and potentially millions of $$ in lost NRE charges) by using ROM-based parts? Consider a video vendor who spins an ASIC (a custom chip) for its latest graphics card... They might spend $50 million in mask fees to have the new chip produced. Amortized over 100,000 graphics cards produced, this is less expensive to them (and thus to us as consumers) than instead spec'ing a re-programmable chip that costs 5x as much. What's really needed is not for hardware engineers to integrate more functionality into their hardware, but rather for hardware and software engineers to better work together. There's plenty of open-ness on the part of software engineers; but the companies don't want to release the gritty technical details of their products, and thus the hardware engineers' hands are tied. Open the eyes of the managers and administrators, and you'll open the hardware.

basically emerge the current version of world and all dependancies.

the required packages in the background while compiling?
As long as you can download faster than you can compile, this is not a
problem. I do it myself frequently.
* emerge failed while testing the glibc (due to the noatime setting
in /, which seems to be a bug in the testing script). By this time the
emerge -f -e world had finished downloading all the packages. I
remounted the partitions with atime and diratime and attempted to
--resume, but it would not resume it. Question: did it fail because
the other emerge had finished? How/where does portage store the
details of the current emerge to allow resuming? Is there a way to
resume starting at a particular point?
When I last rebuilt everything, I did it by:
emerge --emptytree --pretend world \
| grep / \
| awk -F']' '{ print $2 }' buildlist.txt
This will give you a complete list of packages to be rebuilt, in order,
including dependancies. You can then do:
for x in `cat buildlist.txt`; do
emerge --oneshot $x
if test $? -ne 0; then
echo package $x failed
break
fi
done
Thus, if something fails, you just edit the list to remove everything
that was built, and continue on.
* I saved the output of emerge -e world --pretend to a file,
removed the brackets and their contents and prefixed each package with
an = (equal sign), deleting all the 65 packages that I had previously
emerged successfully. Then attempted to emerge ` cat packages.txt `
and to my surprise the list included the required updates, so I wen't
for it. Question: is it expected to have some packages upgraded when
the packages emerged were specified as =package-x.y?
Well, the emerge -e world --pretend is going to show you the required
updates. If you double check the output, you will probably see that the
version you specified with the '=' _is_ the updated version.
A word of warning...add --oneshot to your emerge command if you do
things this way. Otherwise you will add a bunch of crap to your world
file that you almost certainly do _not_ want there!
* I tried emerge `qpkg -I -nc |grep -oe '^[^ ]*' ` --pretend
and it seems to do the job, but it looks like there are more packages
there than in the list of emerge --emptytree world --pretend ,
some violating dependencies, others blocking while requirying the ~x86
flag. Question: Are absolutely all the packages recompiled with emerge
--emptytree world?
Rebuilding with --emptytree world will rebuild everything in the world
file, or is a dependancy of something in the world file. This is not
quite the same as all installed packages, because some packages may have
been added as dependancies of packages that you have since unmerged.
For example, if you emerge evolution, you get a bunch of gnome stuff
that is not removed if you unmerge it. You can view what packages are
'leftovers' by running emerge --depclean --pretend
BTW, this is why you want --oneshot. In the example above, if you had
emerged each dependancy of evolution explicitly, the dependancies would
be added to your world file and would not show up in --depclean output.

On a winblowz system you just move it over the header section and it 'sucks' back into the header. However no matter what I do, I can get it back into the header I'm not even sure what I did to move it (the popup of the object toolbar) from the header to a popup? Ideas or places to research this question are most appreciated... Looks like maybe you might need to use the Ctrl key to dock it back to the toolbar... http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors/menus_toolbars.pdf Sorry I can't be more help...I upgraded to OOo 2.0 beta, and it works as you would expect. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] esd or arts, sound daemon howto
hi, I have 2 box with gentoo, one at my home and other at work. well, the one of home have alsa drivers for sound and I used gnome as desktop for a while. I always was able to listen sound from a lot of softwares at same time and didn't needed to do any manual configuration to this. At my work machine I have installed gnome and some parts of kde but I preferer to use xfce instead. Since I've installed this system I never could get 2 or more softwares at the same time 'cause the second instance can't access dsp device. I did setup alsa correctly and even that never works. Some days ago I was installing skype at home and had to work with somethings about esd and arts. Coming to my job I did get a try to use start esd at shell prompt and suddenly I could run a lot of xmms instances and listen to all they at the same time. Well, now I know that if I want to run 2 or more softwares at same time I have to use esd or arts but I don't want to start it manually all the time so I want to know if is there some place to setup arts,esd or even other sound daemon? tks in advice claudinei matos -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] esd or arts, sound daemon howto
Coming to my job I did get a try to use start esd at shell prompt and suddenly I could run a lot of xmms instances and listen to all they at the same time. PLease note that xmms (unlike many others) has various output plugins for several sound systems. The advantage of audio servers are that there are many. Run arts = apps needing esound cannot output audio (and vice versa). The currently best solution is to configure the DMIX plugin for ALSA (search alsa.opensrc.org for sharing) and run both arts and esound on top of it. This way, arts and esound aware applications can play sound *as well as* applications which can output sound directly to the hardware device. Well, now I know that if I want to run 2 or more softwares at same time I have to use esd or arts but I don't want to start it manually all the time so I want to know if is there some place to setup arts,esd or even other sound daemon? Even if you're not running KDE you can install arts standalone and start it via any login script. Dunno where esound can get started. Hope this helps.

Hi, This is all correct, but it should be noted that dmix does NOT provide full-duplex capabilities: If your card is able to work in full duplex or not does not depend on ALSA but the hardware. Cheap AC '97 chips are able to work in full duplex mode. this means that you will probably be able to listen to sounds coming from different sources (applications) Yes, that's the work of DMIX if your card doesn't support hardwaremixing. DMIX does softwaremixing similar like a soundserver does. but you will not be able to do so while using skype, for example. You can use bidirectional audio regardless if DMIX is running or not. Furthermore, there's another ALSA plugin besides DMIX that shares audio input for multiple applications (I forgot the name, again search alsa.opensrc.org). Afaik jack should enable this, but I have never tried it JACK is a specialised soundserver for realtime audio stuff used by musicians (that's why I'm running JACK all the time ;) .

I did a search through the forums and found that I wasn't alone. However, all of the solutions listed in the forums involved openmotif or the xprint use flag or both. I have followed all of their suggestions including re-emerging xorg, openmotif and xpdf in any number of combinations. The result is the sameno xpdf bin file. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Hi reg, You need to run motif-config before you merge xpdf with USE=-nomotif. You can use either openmotif or lesstif and this is how you choose.

[gentoo-user] LiveCD distcc
I'm running two computers in my house, one 550 MHz Pentium 3 and one 3 GHz Pentium 4. The slow one is running Gentoo Linux, while the fast one is running Windows. I'd like to put together a LiveCD that can run distcc on the faster computer just via a reboot. There's a Knoppix mod with distcc, but apparently there are problems because of the version of gcc that Debian uses. Gentoo has some extra patches for better security, which can conflict with the Debian version of gcc. Is there a way I can build a CD with a Gentoo-compatible version of distcc? -- I have balls.

An alternative would be to to run your distcc node as a diskless node. I have my system set up so that my diskless node shares all the same root fs as the server except for var and etc. That way the diskless node always have the same versions of everything. If you want you can also leave windows running if you run your distcc node on a colinux kernel. So which will it be, livecd or diskless node? You can use catalyst to build a livecd (that's how the official installation cds are built). I prefer to build livecds by hand. For both my diskless node and livecds I use a genkernel initrd that is patched to use unionfs for copy on write functionality. Zac __ Discover Yahoo!

Making it all automagic seems cool to the average user that don't have time, patience or will to know what's happening in the system, but making it default would take the freedom of people that want to dive deep into the config files and dev files to get the most of the hardware and take control of the system. Of course its a good idea for people to taste Linux and maybe make them curious about knowing more of the system to take advantage of all the hardware upgrades. I think that stuff that does magic tricks in the computer software world gets bigger, buggy, unstable and slower as time passes and more tricks are added, and then you think of... Micro$oft and Ruindow$. I sincerely hope it never happens to any Lin distro. -- Daniel da Veiga But don't you think the computer systems of the future would surely implement something like Gentopia? Things can always be done manually, but automatic seems like a step forward. On the other hand, I do agree with the things you're saying. This is why I asked the question. I'm not sure about this. To me, it's not a focus on gentopia. Gentopia is Gentoo's version of the project utopia stack (which is more GNOME specific). for example, gamin is the successor to famd which works more efficiently based on inotify. gnome-volume-manager for example works with gamin + udev + hal + dbus to make all the necessary messages to make things smooth much like a Mac right now. I don't think gentopia will be default for gentoo, but I do think it will be for Gnome. To me, gentoo isn't really for the masses, for those we have Ubuntu/Knoppix/Fedora. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
