[gentoo-user] Where are the suspend2 options in suspend2-sources-2.6.14-r1-3

[Uwe Klosa]

Hi

When I updrade my kernel from suspend2-sources-2.6.14 to -r1 or r3 all options for SUSPEND2 are gone. I have tried with make oldconfig 
and make menuconfig. Is there a purpose behind that?


I had to edit my config file and to add the options.

Cheers
Uwe

[gentoo-user] Spamassassin 3.1 now fails...

[Steve [Gentoo]]

A few days I 'updated world' and spamassassin 3.04 was replaced by 
spamassassin 3.1 - after a few minutes spent migrating my configuration 
(to enable Razor,Pyzor and DCC) all seemed to be working well... but 
then, after running fine for a day or two, the spamd daemon stopped 
responding and started writing an error about syswrite(7) to the system 
log every few seconds:


--

retrying... at /

line 554.

--

Subsequently mail was (as far as I can tell) delivered without tagging 
messages.  When I restart spamasssassin (i.e. /etc/init.d/spamd restart) 
the problem disappears - at least temporarily   This is not a one-off 
occurrence - but I do not know what triggers the failure.  On this 
occasion spamassasssin failed reporting syswrite(7) last time it 
reported syswrite(8) but otherwise behaviour was similar.  The time at 
which the failure occurred does not seem to be relevant as while this 
time it was at just past midnight, previously it failed at 15:30.


Does anyone else have this problem with Spamassassin 3.1?

[gentoo-user] Could not emerge app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.2-r2 due to new kernel being emerged too

[Jules Colding]

Hi,

Todays emerge -vauDN world failed with gnupg not being emerged. The
reason seems to be that I am emerging a new kernel too. This new kernel
has obviously not been configured/build yet which makes gnupg unable to
find .config in /usr/src/linux/. I expect this problem to go away when
the new kernel is up and running. emerge output below.


Best regards,

Or, you could just change the /usr/src/symlink back to your
currently-configured kernel, emerge gnupg, then change it (the symlink)
back to point at the new, unconfigured kernel.

I take it you're using the 'symlink' USE flag, which does this
automatically. I usually do too, and had a similar problem with a
different program just a week or two ago. Fortunately, I noticed that it
was going to happen before the emerge proceeded (I was getting a new
kernel, and upgrading the ati-drivers package, which I know must compile
against a configured kernel), so I just disabled the 'symlink' USE flag
for the new, about-to-be-downloaded kernel *only* (and learned that you
can manage specific versions of an app in /etc/portage/package.use), so
that the symlink was not changed, and the ati-drivers emerged normally
against my current, configured kernel.

Then I manually redirected the /usr/src/linux symlink to the new,
uncompiled kernel for the later kernel upgrade. So I only had to do the
redirect once, and it all worked out fine. Of course I had to re-emerge
the ati-drivers, but that's normal anyway when upgrading a kernel.

 It also says See config.log for details, but I can't find config.log -
 it doesn't give a full path.  Is there a way to repair this without
 having to completely reinstall Gentoo?
 

I've had this problem too some time ago - however, i'm not sure how i
solved it - but i think it was something with fix-libtool.sh or
gcc-config. Try to compile a simple c-program by hand - maybe this will
give you some hints about the source of your problem.

Yes (qualified yes), but

1) I'm training myself out of changing USE flags on the command line
(though it would have been OK in this case, the reason I have a general
policy is to keep to it, not except it :-) )

2) I learned something (because I don't want to use USE= on the command
line, I had to use package.use, which I didn't know up to that moment
allowed specification of package versions. But I found that

=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5 -symlink

is actually valid, which is useful information, enabling me to turn the
USE flag off for just this one emerge, without disturbing later kernels
for which I want to keep the 'symlink' flag default enabled.

Since this situation is not terribly likely to occur again-- an upgrade
to the ati-drivers being offered in the same operation as a new kernel,
given that the ati-drivers don't update that terribly often, and on a
schedule, and since I often mask shiny-new kernels because the
ati-drivers are generally unlikely to compile against them lately--
knowing that a 'oneshot mask' is possible in package.use is handy).

So yes, it would have been easier to do it the way you say, but I find
taking unexpected opportunities to explore the capabilities of Portage
more valuable than doing things the easy way (sometimes).

[gentoo-user] mythfrontend crashes in edit video mode nova-t / gentoo

[Ben Edwards]

While using mythtv frontend when I scrub video in edit mode to set cut
points almose any time I go across a change of ratio the frontend
secmentation faults.  I have tried -v with various options but have
not got any usefull debug.

I am using mythtv 0.18.1  with a nova-t DVB-T card.

Have been bouncing this one around for a few days on the gentoo forum
and mythtv-user list so I thought I would give it a go here.

Mucho Regards,

Here is where the docs would be quite handy...

Anyone here who has perused mysql.com will know it is a difficult task
to find basic information there.

You can get error messages in 12 of the worlds languages but can't
find out how to get a basic setup running.

Someone said the docs were a separate package but `esearch' doesn't

[gentoo-user] Successful Trac Install Using mod_python.

[Anthony Roy]

Hi all,

I have just emerged Trac, and noticed that the Gentoo docs cover the
cgi apache config, but not the mod_python config. In addition, the
Gentoo emerge is v8.4, while the latest Trac is 9.1 - hence the docs
on the Trac site are *too* recent, as the package structure has
changed...

Would it be helpful to put my config for mod_python on the Wiki?

 Yes (qualified yes), but
 
 1) I'm training myself out of changing USE flags on the command line
 (though it would have been OK in this case, the reason I have a general
 policy is to keep to it, not except it :-) )

Changing USE flags on the commands line generally is frowned uponi
because the effect is transient, only affecting that one emerge. But this
is exactly what is needed in this case.

 =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5 -symlink
 
 is actually valid, which is useful information, enabling me to turn the
 USE flag off for just this one emerge, without disturbing later kernels
 for which I want to keep the 'symlink' flag default enabled.

Except it's not really just this one emerge but all emerges of that
package and version, although the two are likely to coincide.

 So yes, it would have been easier to do it the way you say, but I find
 taking unexpected opportunities to explore the capabilities of Portage
 more valuable than doing things the easy way (sometimes).

Fair comment.

Holly,
Thanks for the usual helpful effort.  Maybe you can tell me how one
controlls what ebuild is used.  For example:

ls /usr/portage/dev-db/mysql

I was able to to at least start mysql-5.0.15.ebuild, how would I
select it out of the others thru emerge?

I foolishly ran the last -u world with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 and have
since set that globally.  So I'm now bleeding edge and it appears that
it would take some doing to undo that at this point so thought I'd go
with it for a while and see if I could get ontop of it.

I know about using the actual path and that is how I'm installing it
as I write but one always gets those troublesome messages about

 Holly, Thanks for the usual helpful effort.  Maybe you can tell me 
 how one controlls what ebuild is used.  For example:
snip
 I was able to to at least start mysql-5.0.15.ebuild, how would I 
 select it out of the others thru emerge?

Lots of ways-- to return to the stable build, try

# echo 'dev-db/mysql x86' /etc/portage/package.keywords

This will essentially change the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS setting for this
package only to stable. You may also have to add settings for the
dependencies, as they will still be unstable versions if you do not, and
I don't know how well the stable mysql build plays with the unstable
versions of its dependencies.

To only allow version 5.0.15, try

# echo 'dev-db/mysql-5.0.15' /etc/portage/package.mask

This will mask all unstable versions above 5.0.15. You will have to be
responsible for unmasking later versions when you feel that they have
stabilized to your needs (meaning, you have to keep an eye on the status
of the ebuilds, because even when later versions go stable, you won't
have them available to you in Portage).

So I would almost say go back to stable, and when the currently unstable
upgrades become stable, just upgrade normally. Unless you have some
burning reason to have version 5 now, today, no matter what the
circumstances.
 
 I foolishly ran the last -u world with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 and have
  since set that globally.  So I'm now bleeding edge and it appears 
 that it would take some doing to undo that at this point so thought

U no you don't so much need to use the actual path as you need
to use the correct syntax to emerge a particular version of a package:

emerge =dev-db/mysql-5.0.15

or emerge (=)[= - the exact version; = - any version greater than or
equal to; = - any version less than or equal to;  - any version
greater than;  - any version less than]cate-gory/package-version.number

Naturally if you do something like this, though, you'll want to utilize
package.mask to block other versions so that Portage doesn't try to
upgrade or downgrade the package you've specifically emerged in a
particular version.

Holly

What is the status of libsdl on your box? Is it installed? If so, what
version?

It appears that either an incorrect version is installed, or the
installed version is broken (if it was not installed at all, smpeg would
have installed it before installing itself, so clearly there is some
reason that Portage thinks it didn't have to).

 There was a note at the end of the emerge:

  * You might want to run:

 did you do this?

(First I've backed of 5.16 since I couldn't even start it from:
  /etc/init.d/mysql
Unemerged and reemerged 5.15)

Gack, no, I missed that completely.

So backing up here I ran that and it errors out because apparently a
db was actually built in all my tinkering so rm -rf /var/lib/mysql

(in the current case 5.0.15
And rerun emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.0.15

It now works and queries for a password which I gave it.  There were a
large pile of warning about being `Unable to load' /usr/share/zoninfo
stuff Snipped in the output below

I don't understand the warnings about supplying a password since the
first step is to do that trying the suggested commands:
  /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
  /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h reader password 'new-password'
Fail like this
 /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'hpreader'

[gentoo-user] emerge --newuse misses package that new USE affects

[glen martin]

I've googled and scanned recent messages archive of this list for this
issue - if I'm blind, apologies in advance.

I've changed some USE flags deliberately to add features to a package
(in this case, apache).  That package is also impacted by different
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS flag (~86), which I've specified in
/etc/portage/package.keywords

Despite the USE change, I find that that apache is not being caught by
emerge --newuse world.  My expectation is that --newuse world will
rebuild everything that a new USE impacts.

So do I horribly misunderstand --newuse, or have I configured something
wrong, or does it not work with package.keywords, or is there a bug
someone would like more data on before I manually rebuild the various
packages in in my system that need it and blow the symptoms away?

I added threads nptlonly mpm-worker to USE in make.conf.  I've
probably made some other changes to USE since my last world rebuild. 
I've also done an emerge --sync. Then:

snip
# emerge --update --deep --newuse --pretend --verbose world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Well, assuming it's not a bug (what version of Portage are you using?)
then is it possible that apache is neither in your world file, nor a
dependency of something that is (does it show up in the list of a
depclean -p)? That's the only reason I can think of that the combination
of --update and --deep wouldn't recognize that apache is one of the
packages that should be considered for --newuse.

If you Put the USE Flag into the make.conf it´s Generall to ALL Packages.

Just Put the Use Flag into the Apache Buil only.

Maybe you need apache2 instead of apache USE flag?

Your understanding of --newuse matches mine.  I did notice
a similiar problem this past week.  I changed -ffmpeg to
ffmpeg.  Ran emerge -uDNav and only kb3 was found.
The next day, emerge -uDNav found xine-lib.  So I too am
questioning whether --newuse is working properly in
Portage 2.0.51.22-r3.

[gentoo-user] grub on a SATA drive

[maxim wexler]

Hello everybody,

I've setup grub on /dev/sda2 of a new SATA HD, listed
in dmesg as /dev/sda. The other HDs are /dev/hda,
which does present boot duty and /dev/hdb, containing
/ etc.

Before moving files from /dev/hdb, which apparently
has an un-fixable boot sector, to /dev/sda, I'd like
to be able to boot using the SATA drive then ditch
/dev/hda.

I note grub doesn't like root(sd0,1), returns Error
23: Error while parsing number.

But what do I call it? hd0 and hd1 are taken.

 Nope. You need a stage3 to build a stage1 with a new CHOST.

In the faq (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/faq.xml#stage12) I find.

How do I Install Gentoo Using a Stage1 or Stage2 Tarball?

The Gentoo Handbook only describes a Gentoo installation using a
stage3 tarball. However, Gentoo still provides stage1 and stage2
tarballs. This is for development purposes (the Release Engineering
team starts from a stage1 tarball to obtain a stage3) but shouldn't be
used by users: a stage3 tarball can very well be used to bootstrap the
system. You do need a working Internet connection.

It surprises me that release engineering starts with a stage1 to get a
stage3 and then we use this stage3 to build a stage1.  I mention this
only out of curiosity; there is a stage3 with my desired CHOST and I
expect to do all future installs starting with stage3 (I formerly used
stage1).

simple. Maybe you installed apache with 'emerge --oneshot' which

[gentoo-user] masked package woes

[James]

Hello,

Jffnms is masked. However I am able to install it on an intel portable
by adding this line to the /etc/portage/package.keywords
net-analyzer/jffnms ~x86

This is pretty must standard approach.

However, on a gentoo system that I manually hacked a jffnms installation
on on a very early (experimental) ebuild does not even show jffnms
as a masked package. It intalled configuration file is /etc/jffnms, but
I delete that dir and contents. Still I cannot install the jffnms
masked package on this one system. Everyother system can install jffnms
with the aforementioned line added to package.keywords.

Any ideas how to track this down? Should I just copy over the ebuild manually
to /usr/portage/distfiles ?

Ideas?

Ebuilds don't go in /usr/portage/distfiles, so doing that won't help you.

When you say that you manually hacked an installation, what do you
mean? If you created an ebuild in your PORTDIR_OVERLAY (the correct
procedure), do you still have an overlay directory enabled (preferably
the same one), in /etc/make.conf?

If you put your ebuild in the regular Portage tree, and you have since
synced , the illegal ebuild has likely been removed. In that case, I
would suggest enabling an overlay in /etc/make.conf, setting up an
overlay tree (default location is /usr/local/portage), putting the
ebuild there, then digesting it. It should then emerge normally.

Did you even install the previous 'hack' with Portage?

The world file contains everything that you installed directly.
Dependencies of packages you install are not included in world. If you
installed a package that depended on Apache, Apache would have been
installed but not added to world. If you subsequently removed the
original package, or changed your USE flags so that it no longer required
Apache, then Apache would no longer be a dependency of anything in
world. In that case, emerge --ask depclean would offer to remove it.

Well... You need a reasonably complete system to build a toolchain,

pretty close to cross-compiling, so the only way you can do it safely

Just to make sure, remember that grub has to be installed in the boot sector

Also consider that grub doesn't understand sda or hda terminology, only

If it used to be in Portage, you can probably find it in the CVS attic--
check the gentoo.org homepage, use the Browse CVS menu item to get to
the CVS, and then surf to the correct category. There should be a folder
called Attic, where, iirc, you will find such removed ebuilds.

Just download/save it and pop it in your overlay.

I would check why it was removed, though, before doing so... but that's
just me.

 No, you just used xine first, so its controls appeared more intuitive

try removing it from the startup sequence, see if that solves it.

Is date maybe aliased?  Check with 'type date'.

I'm not sure on the exact version it happened (I don't use
suspend2-sources, I patch vanilla-sources) but if you have a
HyperThreaded CPU, for some reason suspend to disk is now disabled when
you select HT.

This wasn't always the case - I used to have suspend2 and HT both

Check CONFIG_X86_HT (I think)

 If it used to be in Portage, you can probably find it in the CVS attic--
 check the gentoo.org homepage, use the Browse CVS menu item to get to
 the CVS, and then surf to the correct category. There should be a folder
 called Attic, where, iirc, you will find such removed ebuilds.
 

thanks, good idea. in fact you don't even need to go to the Attic,
removed ebuilds seem to still be in the CVS tree, just marked as
removed. (not sure if they disappear after a while).

 Just download/save it and pop it in your overlay.
 
 I would check why it was removed, though, before doing so... but that's
 just me.

  Jffnms is masked. However I am able to install it on an intel portable

  net-analyzer/jffnms ~x86

  This is pretty must standard approach.

  However, on a gentoo system that I manually hacked a jffnms installation
  on on a very early (experimental) ebuild does not even show jffnms
  as a masked package. It intalled configuration file is /etc/jffnms, but
  I delete that dir and contents. Still I cannot install the jffnms
  masked package on this one system. Everyother system can install jffnms
  with the aforementioned line added to package.keywords.

  Any ideas how to track this down? Should I just copy over the ebuild 
  manually
  to /usr/portage/distfiles ?

 Ebuilds don't go in /usr/portage/distfiles, so doing that won't help you.

Correct, they are not ebuild but the tar.bz2 files. I recently install 
package realplayer:
RealPlayer-10.0.6.776-20050915.i586.rpm  
then emerged the package. I should have been more accurate with
the verbiage. 

The bottom line is I can install jffnms which is masked on any system
but one. All are either intel or x86(athlon). I do not remember any of the
the details of the previous jffnms hacking attempts on this system.

So I deleted the /etc/jffnms/* directory and contents, but that did not
help.

On most systems I get these results:
emerge -s jffnms
Searching...
[ Results for search key : jffnms ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]

*  net-analyzer/jffnms
  Latest version available: 0.8.2
  Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]


On the one system that refuse to work I get:

emerge -s jffnms
Searching...
[ Results for search key : jffnms ]
[ Applications found : 0 ]
 

I just do not understand why one system (athlon) does not see the
package and the other ones do?

Is it the differences in the intel vs athlon archtecture?
I thought both were x86?

Both athlon systems do not show jffnms as a viable package
wtih 'emerge -s jffnms'.

Thoughts?
 
 When you say that you manually hacked an installation, what do you
 mean? If you created an ebuild in your PORTDIR_OVERLAY (the correct
 procedure), do you still have an overlay directory enabled (preferably
 the same one), in /etc/make.conf?

PORTDIR_OVERLAY is not used on any of these systems.

 If you put your ebuild in the regular Portage tree, and you have since
 synced , the illegal ebuild has likely been removed. In that case, I
 would suggest enabling an overlay in /etc/make.conf, setting up an
 overlay tree (default location is /usr/local/portage), putting the
 ebuild there, then digesting it. It should then emerge normally.

emerge -s jffnms does not show up on the athlon systems, including
one that never had jffnms installed.

 Did you even install the previous 'hack' with Portage?

Don't remember as I tried all sorts of things over several weeks

By the look of the CVS tree this ebuild has NEVER been in portage. How
it got on your system can only be explained by you.

If you think it is in portage on some of your systems you can verify by
looking in the directory

ls /usr/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/

If you want to build it why don't you download the ebuild from the
bugzilla site and put it in your overlay? The overlay process is well
documented, I am not going to burden this list with yet another
explanation.


 I wonder why it wass abandoned before it was ever finished?
 

It doesn't look abandoned to me, the last post was on 19 October 2005,
when a new version of the ebuild was posted.

Lots of new evuilds get posted to bugzilla, not as many ever come out
the other end.

Once you have tested it don't forget to go back to the bug and report
back on your experience.

 Well... You need a reasonably complete system to build a toolchain,
 hence the stage 3 seed. Building a toolchain with a different CHOST is
 pretty close to cross-compiling, so the only way you can do it safely
 is to start from scratch, hence building up from a stage 1.

 But what do I call it? hd0 and hd1 are taken.

It may well depend on your chipset configuration, number of actually connected 
drives and bios boot settings. On my board, there are 2 PATA and 1 SATA 
channels on the same controller. In linux kernel, PATA is hda and hdb, SATA 
is hdc, no matter what drives are actually connected. When i migrated my 
installation from PATA hda to SATA hdc, grub detected hda as hd0 and hdc as 
hd1 before, but once I removed parallel drive, SATA become hd0 in grub (but 
still hdc in linux), since it is first (boot) bios drive. So I needed to fix 
grub config to hd0 and change a root= kernel parameter to hdc, since grub 
insists hd0 should be hda even if there is no drive connected on PATA:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.10 root=/dev/hdc1

Also, I did grub setup on SATA MBS from booted grub shell, not in linux, 
because what it sees is what it gets then.

Hope this may help you.

No, it didn't change a thing.  But there was some output at the end
that might mean something:

Following this with a revdep-rebuild get the same output as before:

Interesting.  All 3 builds currently in portage (1.6.2-r4, 1.8.0, and
1.8.0-r1) use toolchain-funcs already.

What is the result of

ls /usr/portage/media-video/jpegtools/*.ebuild

and

equery depends mjpegtools

Also, do you have anything for mjpegtools in /etc/portage/package.mask?
