Re: [gentoo-user] activating swap by udev event
This is a shame but the idea coming from Windows world. In Win7/Vista there is a feature called ready boost which I suppose do something similar... or maybe not :) the main goal is to break the bottleneck of the slow HDD, but it is maybe a better idea to put some part of the system on a SDHC card which can reside in my bulting SD slot :) I know, this is also removable :) L: 2010/7/1 Albert Hopkins mar...@letterboxes.org On Thu, 2010-07-01 at 18:06 +0200, Nils Larsson wrote: tor 2010-07-01 klockan 08:49 -0700 skrev Bill Longman: On 07/01/2010 08:44 AM, SpaceCake wrote: So, it solves the first problem, identifiying the device, but how can I tell to udev to use always /dev/sds (for example) for this device?

I'm thinking how can I instruct udev to turn off swap when the device is removed, but this is another story :) I tried doing exactly what you're doing now awhile ago and this is where I got stuck, swapoff needs the deivce node(path) to still exist, it can't disable swap without it. I could never get swapoff to run before udev removed the device node, so I ended up with the system thinking(or at least reporting) that it had loads more swap than it actually did. This is a bad thing to do. If you have pages swapped out to the device and you remove the device before putting those pages elsewhere then you have effectively hosed your system. If it doesn't fail immediately then as soon as the kernel tries to swap in those pages and finds out the device it's on can't be accessed then you are in for a world of pain. I guess the deeper question (although entirely rhetorical AFAIC) is why would someone want to swap out to a removable device?
[gentoo-user] Where to get qmake for qt3?
I'm trying to build from sources an app that requires qt3 via qmake. According to the build instructions I need to point the make file to qt3's version of qmake. I've found some hints that it should bin in /usr/qt/3/bin, but the only thing under /usr/qt/3 is an 'etc' directory. No bin, no qmake. I've got qt3support in my global useflags, and x11-libs/qt-qt3support is installed. Where do I find qmake 3? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

touched up to match properly with the _3 dev release code. And it
would add a dependency to Text::Patch, and make an odd call to perl in

No, you don't *NEED* the device name to mount swap, you can use a UUID
or a filesystem label:
# swapon -h
Usage:
swapon -a [-e] [-v] [-f] enable all swaps from /etc/fstab
swapon [-p priority] [-v] [-f] special enable given swap
swapon -sdisplay swap usage summary
swapon -hdisplay help
swapon -Vdisplay version
The special parameter:
{-L label | LABEL=label} LABEL of device to be used
{-U uuid | UUID=uuid} UUID of device to be used
device name of device to be used
file name of file to be used
Just put
LABEL=cakeswap none swap sw,user 0 0
in your fstab
and use mkswap -L cakeswap on your USB stick.
Certainly, you'd want to use swapoff *before* you removed the stick,
so that's going to have to be a manual step so I think you're stuck
unsticking your stick.

[gentoo-user] qemu-kvm setup questions
qemu-kvm apparently expects a couple of options in /etc/make.conf, namely QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS and QEMU_USER_TARGETS. The documentation that I could find in Google is underwhelming, to say the least. I could guess from the names alone that they define targets...dohhh. It could use an example. For instance, my physical machine (i.e. the host) is x86_64, running 64-bit Gentoo. I would like to emulate a 32-bit x86 (i386 ?). I will be trying to run 32-bit Gentoo and OS/2 Warp 4. My uneducated guess is QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS=i386 QEMU_USER_TARGETS=x86_64 Is this correct? If not, what should I be using? Also, are there any gotcha's for file access from the guest to the host? Rather than re-downloading stuff all the time, I'm thinking of giving the guest read-only access to the host's /usr/portage. That should cover both syncing and distfiles.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Patch via perl script in an ebuild?
[snip] Am I making any sense? I think all of that is right on. I need to find out why the patch isn't working though. Theoretically (if you insist), you could still use the perl's Text::Patch route as well, but (if I'm not entirely wrong, see the excerpted attempted patch run above) the patch would still need to be touched up to match properly with the _3 dev release code. And it would add a dependency to Text::Patch, and make an odd call to perl in the middle of the ebuild. (I assume it must be made explicitly as I don't know if perl-module.eclass has any automation for this. Probably not since AFAICT Text::Patch isn't even installed by default). Do you think it would be better to create a real patch than to use the perl patch (after we figure out why it isn't working)? I would think it would be easier to use the perl patch in case a different version is released so we don't have to re-create the patch each time. A Text::Patch dep wouldn't be so bad. What do you think? - Grant

[gentoo-user] Re: qemu-kvm setup questions
On 07/01/2010 03:05 PM, waltd...@waltdnes.org wrote: qemu-kvm apparently expects a couple of options in /etc/make.conf, I'm jumping in here only because no one else has, so far. I'm the kind of nutcase who enjoys pulling and compiling the latest kernel sources from Linus every morning, and then I struggle and curse while trying to find the source of all the brand new bugs that just bit me. So, quite obviously, I do the same with the qemu-kvm git repo at kernel.org. (My only point here is that I don't build qemu-kvm from gentoo portage, so I can't answer your questions about the gentoo make.conf variables.) qemu-kvm does not come packaged with a cute and user-friendly gui for all the confusing micro-configuration details like network bridging, and on and on, ad nearly infinitum. Both qemu-kvm and virtualbox are forks of the original qemu project, and AFAICT they've stuck pretty closely to the original qemu command-line options (numbering in the hundreds, it seems to me). If you understand how to use the original qemu emulator, you are 99% of the way to understanding how to use both qemu-kvm and virtualbox. The big advantage of virtualbox is their creation of the guest-additions that allow for trivially easy sharing of files on the host machine with the guest machine. The catch is that the virtualbox guest additions are custom-built for each individual guest OS, and I don't know if OS/2 is one of the supported OS's in virtualbox. Being too lazy to dig in and learn the micro-details of qemu's networking, whenever I want to share files on my gentoo host with a qemu-kvm guest, I make a CD/iso image of the files and then mount the iso image on the guest machine using the qemu -cdrom=/path/to/my/custom/image.iso flag. I'm betting that there is a much better way of doing this, and I'm hoping someone out there can educate both of us.
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Flash stopped working after Firefox 3.6.3-3.6.4 update.
Firefox got upgraded from 3.6.3 to 3.6.4 yesterday, and now the flash plugin won't work. ?I tried both x86 and ~x86 versions, and both crash 100% of the time. The problem was caused by an old 9.x copy of the plugin that was left in ~/.mozialla/plugins. ?After deleting the flashplayer plugin from that directory, FF then found the officially installed 10.x version and is now happy. I'm having the exact same problem, except I don't have a ~/.mozilla/plugins directory at all. Any ideas? Search for libflashplayer.so files. Another of my machines had an old one in /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins. That should have been a symlink to /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so which is where the ebuild puts the file. I did have an extra libflashplayer.so, I deleted it, I deleted pluginreg.dat, I re-emerged adobe-flash, and I restarted firefox, but flash still isn't working. It works in opera. Any ideas? - Grant
