I keep seeing users mention about how they do an update and then everything goes to crap. I've experienced this myself quite a bit too. I believe the reason this happens is the drawback one of Gentoo's nicest features; constantly being up to date. Hello MIke, Folks probably will not like my suggestions, but it works in lieu of a better schema, so aplogies to all I offend, in advance Gentoo servers (firewall, dns, mail, web ...) rarely suffer from these issues, in fact, I believe one of gentoo's largest unexplored niches should be Large Installation System Administration (via cfengine). So, in my opinion, where Gentoo is really challenged, is the workstation (laptop, desktop). You know the X11 + kde/gnome software boxen. What I do is keep one (workstation) system on the bleeding edge (very frequent upgrades) so as to discern where breakage or unecessary updates are looming. Since I admin an ever expanding hoarde of gentoo based servers and workstations, development of some tools to compile, distribute and manage the various x86 and amd64 machines we have, is way past due. As soon as I have a scheme I'm happy with, we'll be deploying lots of embedded gentoo based systems. So I update the test workstation on fridays, use it over the weekend a nd then update the other systems. Granted, if the devs release something (broken) over the weekend, I get screwed with this scheme sometimes. I should update the test system daily (in the mornings) and then update the other systems on the same day after that. Problems with that scenario is the various methods of proxying the downloads and syncs are problematic in and of themselvs, not very often, but still bad enough to make those current schemes, less than desirable. Futhermore, DistCC is still a 'work in progress' and I've experience just enough hassle that it has been disabled (also due in part to so many different variants of x86). Long story short: Gentoo is the best distro for our work, as one only has to installed debian, suse, or redhat for a week or two, to realize just how spoiled you get with Gentoo. That said, I've learned to be cautious and patient with key software upgrades on Gentoo. However this approach burns lots of extra time. My hope is Gentoo will continue to improve and become more of a 'production' distro, as the other Linux distros all seem to have unacceptable flaws, for our needs. Future: What is really needed is a group of users, with similar needs, to define commonality of core applications that are essential to the needs: What this means is a list of software, for example openoffice, kde-meta, apache, java, perl, python, C, etc. that forms a core of what we all need (not what we want). Then set up cfengine to push binaries, via a trusted mechanisms, to each of the arch categories) Maybe on a weekly basis. Each network, business or usergroup, would use their test system for 24 hours as a quarrantined update, before pushing to the rest of their machines. Or maybe push sources that are know good, to the test server at each participating location. If fact what the one (initially) master server environment sets up uses, could be duplicated at any remote location with a group of systems. Individuals could feed (download binaries) from those locations, with the proper security mechanisms agreed to. If a group of locations with multiple systems use a common update semantic, then it would be a lot less work, as opposed to each cleaver admin, rolling their own solution. If something actually worked reasonable well, talented admins could offer this service to commercial clients, thus generating excitement about gentoo, and funding for many needy geeks. If you only have one or 2 gentoo sytems, something like this is not worth the effort. For those of us looking to manage dozens to hundreds of gentoo based systems, the need for some management scheme, is long overdue. JFFNMS goes a LONG way to solving the problem, but, it is not centric to the needs of gentoo systems. A companion project that addresses all of those gentoo_centric issues could compliment JFFNMS and simultaneously created that quintessential opportunity for Gentoo to really shine, compared to it's competition. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list I think I like your idea better, about distributing binaries. Do you know if something like this is being worked on? I'm certain that a common method to this, like what you're saying, would allow Gentoo to become scalable to the point of being easily usable on a large scale.

Sometimes the display just stays on forever as if it has

I have got the same laptop, and have had the same problem a few weeks
ago. It seems that at some point, xorg started interpreting acpi events,
in particular LID events. It seems that the 8600 has some trouble with
these, as it sometimes generates several LID events in a row, like three
open then two close, when the lid was actually closed all the time.
I could stop xorg from connecting to the ACPI daemon by adding the
following option to the ServerFlags section:
Option NoPM
This stopped the backlight turning on and never turning off again.
To switch the backlight off when the lid is closed, I added the
following event handler as /etc/acpi/events/lid:
event=button/lid.*
action=/etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh %e
And the attached action as /etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh. What it does is
force a DPMS off when the lid is closed, and switch the graphics chip to
a lower frequency. As you're using the radeon driver (I am using the
fglrx driver), you'll have to comment out the lines calling $ATICONFIG.

Do you know if something like this is being worked on? I'm certain that a common method to this, like what you're saying, would allow Gentoo to become scalable to the point of being easily usable on a large scale. It's a lot of work. I'll be pusing binaries to lots of systems, but, it going to take me months to get ready. I was hoping others with similar goals would 'band together' to come up with a solution that combines the needs for the casual user as well as those of us that want to manage dozens to hundres of Gentoo systems. I need to refine the idea, and my goal is mostly embedded gentoo sytems, but, they are very similar to gentoo-servers. Expanding the idea to workstation, at least for core software, is not that difficult. I do not intend to get into 'competiion' with the devs, particularly on applications that are big, complex, or prone to breakage (OO) It'd really be better to do this as a group, but, I've found little interest, most probably due to the fact that most folks are already bogged down with their own ambitions. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list I honestly believe there's a lack of interest in such thing because most Gentoo users use it as their home computer. The fact that Gentoo doesn't scale very well prevents that market from growing at all, and I think that's why there's a lack of interest in supporting such a thing. It's kind of like a chicken and egg thing. I don't think setting something like this up would be competing with the devs, unless they already had something in mind, since a project like this would only be proxying packages and adding another package management layer to portage. I could be wrong though, I guess if you or whoever came up with a solution we would see. I don't have strong enough development skills to help handle something like that though, but I'd love to test it out.

[gentoo-user] sysctl/_sysctl breakage with 2.6.19
After upgrading my kernel from 2.6.18 - 2.6.19 I notice that sysctl(2)
seems to be - err - returning different (incorrect) data.
for instance consider the simple test program to read kernel.shmmax (see
end of mail):
2.6.18
--
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
536870912
$ ./sysctltest
sysctl retrieved shmmax=536870912
2.6.19
--
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
536870912
$ ./sysctltest
sysctl retrieved shmmax=3086684148
^^
Doing some diffing between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 sources reveals:
*** linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r3/kernel/sysctl.c Tue Nov 28 19:04:35 2006
--- linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r2/kernel/sysctl.c Tue Dec 26 20:04:30 2006
*** 455,...
{
.ctl_name = KERN_SHMMAX,
.procname = shmmax,
! .data = shm_ctlmax,
.maxlen = sizeof (size_t),
.mode = 0644,

.procname = shmmax,
! .data = NULL,
.maxlen = sizeof (size_t),
.mode = 0644,
! .proc_handler = proc_do_ipc_string,
},
However this is all in the implementation, so I'm thinking it should be
transparent to userland programs... the various .h headers seem the
same with respect to shmmax (particularly numbers for CTL_KERN and
KERN_SHMMAX are unchanged!). Any ideas? (Should this be raised as a
bug?). FWIW my linux headers are 2.6.17-r2.

[gentoo-user] Re: emacs shell color question

I'm starting xemacs from an xterm with the command xemacs . What is the output of `alias|grep ls'? $ alias|grep ls alias d='ls --color' alias ll='ls --color -l' alias ls='ls --color=auto' But still, wouldn't commands like ls or gcc need the terminfo in order to know the correct escape sequences to generate for that internal terminal? I am not an expert and not an Xemacs user... I use fsf emacs since 1996. However my terminfo has no entry for emacs either and I do not see the escape sequences so I think the answer to above question is no. You might have a lisp package called ansi-colors.el in your Xemacs installation. Run this command against the directory that holds all the Xemacs source lisp files (ending in *.el *.elc) find YourLispDirectory/ -iname '*ansi*' And see if it is available. If so I think it will do what you need for now. But I do beleive something in your env is causing the trouble. For expert advice on this I suggest you post a question on: gnu.emacs.xemacs newsgroup. You can get to that newsgroup on www.gmane.org to. Its called: gmane.emacs.xemacs.general Someone there will be able to give you expert advice. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Lost my window manager
Hi, I use to use Fluxbox as my window manager. I upgraded world 2 times without a restart (I think there were new versions of portage too). Now I had to shutdown and boot. After logging in and typing the magic command startx TWM comes up. How do I get back fluxbox a s the dafault window manager? Thanks Frank -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

On December 27 at 22:46 EST, frank hastily scribbled: Hi, I use to use Fluxbox as my window manager. I upgraded world 2 times without a restart (I think there were new versions of portage too). I don't mean to be rude, but you really should watch what Portage was doing. It's generally a bad idea to emerge -u world unsupervised, since (as you can see) it can break things if you don't read messages printed after packages are upgrades. Now I had to shutdown and boot. After logging in and typing the magic command startx TWM comes up. How do I get back fluxbox a s the dafault window manager? Check the contents of ~/.xinitrc. It should say exec fluxbox; at the end. How did you configure your window manager before? --Thomas Tuttle pgpa4vVIXEtZw.pgp Description: PGP signature

Try .xsession , add exec startfluxbox. There should also be a variable in your X config. Cheers! -- Samuel (shardz) Shardz's Igloo: shardz.homelinux.net Registered Linux User #410639 amarok.kde.org defectivebydesign.org usmc.mil
