Title Baselayout update
AuthorChristian Faulhammer fa...@gentoo.org
AuthorWilliam Hubbs willi...@gentoo.org
Posted2011-05-01
Revision 1
The baselayout package provides files which all systems must have in
order to function properly. You are currently using version 1.x, which
has several issues. The most significant of these is that the included
init scripts are written entirely in bash, which makes them slow and
not very flexible.
On 2011/05/08, you will see an update for sys-apps/baselayout to
2.x and a new package, sys-apps/openrc. It is recommended that you
perform this update as soon as possible.
Please note, after these packages are emerged, it is
__Absolutely_Critical__ that you immediately update your configuration
files with dispatch-conf, etc-update or a similar tool then follow the
steps in the migration guide located at the following URL.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml
FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL OF THESE STEPS WILL RESULT IN AN UNBOOTABLE
SYSTEM! IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, YOU WILL NEED TO BOOT FROM A LIVE CD OR
DVD, MOUNT YOUR ROOT FILE SYSTEM, CHROOT INTO THAT ENVIRONMENT AND
FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS!
I've been through the migration guide. In the section about udev it
mentions /etc/runlevels/sysinit. Is this something added by
baselayout2/OpenRC? I don't seem to have this in my runlevels:
$ ls -l /etc/runlevels/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 18 20:39 boot
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 8 2010 default
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21 2010 nonetwork
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21 2010 single
Another thing I found, is some incongruity about the file in which the $EDITOR
and $PAGER should be defined.
The migration guide says:
The EDITOR variable is no longer found in /etc/rc.conf. Both EDITOR and PAGER
are set by default in /etc/profile. You should change this as needed in your
~/.bashrc (or equivalent) file or create */etc/env.d/99editor* and set the
system default there.
On the other hand the /etc/profile file seems to recommend /etc/profile.d/
# You should override these in your ~/.bashrc (or equivalent) for per-user
# settings. For system defaults, you can add a new file in /etc/profile.d/.
export EDITOR=${EDITOR:-/bin/nano}
export PAGER=${PAGER:-/usr/bin/less}
Which one is the authoritative place to define a system wide editor?

All above are consistent. The system default is set in a file like
/etc/env.d/99editor
I use eselect (app-admin/eselect) to set the system defaults.
eg I have:
# cat /etc/env.d/99editor
# Configuration file for eselect
# This file has been automatically generated.
EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi
VISUAL=/usr/bin/vi
But on a per user basis, a user should define those environment
variables in his ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile (or equivalent) shell
initialization files.

Thanks. Not sure if there is a difference between an env.d variable and a
profile.d variable. I've added mine to /etc/profile.d for now. I'll see what
gives when I reboot.

I initially set up a file in /etc/profile.d/99editor with EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim in it. Upon reboot I still got: echo $EDITOR /bin/nano So, I thought of moving it into /etc/env.d/97editor. Upon another reboot (troubleshooting network problems) I again found out that nano is my default editor ... neither locations seem to being read at boot time? Running env-update source /etc/profile did not make any difference. Is the number prefix important? Does it have to be 99editor? If so, how does one discover the correct number for each variable? I do not manually change things in env.d, but with 'eselect editor set n' you can create a file /etc/env.d/99editor which will set the EDITOR variable to the editor you gave eselect as argument. Enter eselect editor list to se what's available, or just give the editor path as argument to eselect. # eselect editor list Available targets for the EDITOR variable: [1] /bin/nano [2] /usr/bin/ex [3] /usr/bin/vi [ ] (free form) What does the [ ] (free form) above refer to?

Unless you can post some real error messages it's going to be very difficult to help you - there can be many causes for a failure such as that. Start with the usual: - go through any relevant logs looking for related entries then post them - do an fsck on your filesystems - anything useful returned by revdep-rebuild? Copying over scripts is unlikely to achieve much. bash is not actually related after emerge launches and emerge itself is a python script - the guts of the work is done elsewhere. In fact you might have done more harm than good as the emerge script version now does not match everything else installed by the portage ebuild. You will probably need to remerge portage from a live CD environment as step 1. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I bet you got it from Bugzilla, because you're CC'ed on this: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146761 :) There seems to be a lot of activity on it, maybe the attached ebuilds are newer than the one you're trying.

emerge needs Python. Have you tried to invoke Python, just by
python
import portage
quit()
Helmut.
@alan, no error are printed, where and what should i look for in the logs?
@helmut python just returns to the console, without error or effect of any
sort, does it means python has get unmerged and that's why emerge doesn't
work anymore?
I have the same problem. I just did a --depclean, and find that 'vim'
cannot run:
treat log # vim
vim: error while loading shared libraries: libpython2.6.so.1.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
treat log #
So I have to fall back on pico, which I only barely know how to use.
I have quite a collection of binary packages (everything emerged in the last
few years), but even untarring them fails (just wedges with no message, and
even strace(1) is not helping me find this.)
I can unpack on a different machine, but will that even help?

ANSWER: yes it did. At least emerge and vim are working again. I'm also
doing all of my usual post-emerge cleanups just in case:
#!/bin/bash
echo ' !!! Running dispatch-conf'
dispatch-conf
echo ' !!! Running revdep-rebuild --ignore'
revdep-rebuild --ignore
echo ' !!! Running lafilefixer --justfixit'
lafilefixer --justfixit | fgrep -v 'skipping update'
echo ' !!! Running perl-cleaner all'
perl-cleaner all | fgrep -v 'Skipping directory'
I'm hoping you also have an extra copy of python around, so you can do the
same thing.

Hey Mark, the news item does not tell the exact version because there might be sub/rc- versions until release. so on release date the devs will remove keywords of the right versions. i read the dev mailing list a bit and it should be baselayout-2.0.2 + openrc-0.8.2-r1 if no further -rc will be introduced till release. already installed it yesterday, followed the migration guide and it works fine for me. or just wait until it is offical released and use those versions.

Apparently, though unproven, at 18:05 on Monday 02 May 2011, Davide Carnovale did opine thusly: @alan, no error are printed, where and what should i look for in the logs? It looks awfully like depclean took away your old version of python before you used eselect. Others have posted details of how to deal with this. I'm assuming you are reasonably new to gentoo, here's a tip from someone who already got bitten hard too many times to mention: Some updates require you to take manual action after the fact, and these things cannot be automated (at least not without breaking the gentoo philosophy of let the user decide always). Ubuntu, Fedora, etc does not have this problem as they tell you how things will be, Gentoo is different. So after an emerge world, *always* go through every log file in /var/log/portag/elog[1] and deal with every issue arising before moving onto the next step which is usually depclean, emerge @preserved-rebuild and so on. Some packages should raise alarm bells when they appear in depclean output: python, glibc, gcc, portage. Make sure you've done everything you need to have done before accepting these choices. Two final DONTs: Never blindly accept what depclean says and let it do it's thing. Study the output, the warning printed on the screen to do just that is there for a reason. Never blindly update protected config files with etc-update etc. Check each one individually and do it manually. @helmut python just returns to the console, without error or effect of any sort, does it means python has get unmerged and that's why emerge doesn't work anymore? 2011/5/2 Helmut Jarausch jarau...@igpm.rwth-aachen.de On 05/02/2011 05:38:03 PM, Davide Carnovale wrote: Hi all! i was going through a world update today and during --depclean emerge throw an error complaining about possible corrupted binaries or hw failure. since then it has stopped working, no matter what i try to emerge, the command simply return to the shell without any kind of error or any other output at all. i fired and usb stick with the gentoo 11 live dvd and i copied over both bash and emerge binaries to my machine, in case they were corrupted (bash was given as the most likely) but nothing changed. now i simply have no clue on what's wrong and how can i fix it, apart from a full reinstall, which i'd like to avoid. can anyone point me somewhere to solve this problem? emerge needs Python.

[gentoo-user] ot? : how to track and bill my work under gentoo
greets, I assume that many of you earn your money by working w/ computers, in IT, programming, hacking, being root ;-) I do and I always have the nagging feeling that I somehow lose money by not being able to easily track my work. A typical workday consists of getting emails, receiving calls ... hopping from one customer to another, doing admin-work here and there. It is quite hard to keep track here. I use the hamster applet under Gnome: http://projecthamster.wordpress.com/ I use it on my main machine, unfortunately it is not yet able to store its db somewhere on the net, so I don't use it on my thinkpad (I would have to somehow merge lists when writing bills). A thought would be to look at the logs of my ssh-client ;-) Long story ... The question: how do you handle this? Any special hints, any ebuilds to look at? Thanks a lot, Stefan

Cheers, Mark OK, I'm writing this from an updated Gentoo VM running in Virtualbox on my (as yet) not updated Gentoo server. Things went well. The only semi-issue that came up for me so far was the rc-sys= variable not being set. The way upgrade doc is written I had the impression that this only mattered if I was in a machine that ran VMs on it and not to be done in the VM itself. Seems that you really want rc_sys to be set for any Gentoo install I guess. Not sure at this point how I'd tell if there was some other problem, but as far as a simple VM goes it only took about 15 minutes to complete the upgrade and it booted first time. Cheers, Mark

I use scp all the time -- but It's The Principle Of The Thing(TM) :p I never had any trouble with NFS until version 4 came along, and nothing *but* trouble since then. I figure if I invoke mount.nfs4, I shouldn't need to include the nfsvers=4 option in addition -- but that's what it has made me do. At least until the last time I tried it about two weeks ago, when plain old mount -t nfs seemed to work without any magic incantations. OTOH, I didn't bother to investigate which nfs version actually connected. I just gave thanks for the crumbs it tossed me and copied my files across ;) OTOH sftp really is quite nifty...

One habit I've developed to protect myself from making a mistake with depclean is defining it as an alias in the shell's rc, like this: alias depclean=sudo emerge -vac That way it's alway verbose and always asks before proceeding. IME it's too easy to forget to use those arguments and if you're doing more than one thing at a time disaster can strike pretty quickly... -- If only my interface to the time-space continuum could be unix-like...

I learned at the knee of someone who actually remembers the dawn -- but of course I'm much too young myself :p The conflict between environment and profile, the origins of .profile and .bashrc go back IIRC to the competition between sh, csh, and bash for dominance -- not to mention ksh, tsh, foosh, and barsh, bahsh etc, etc. Each shell had its own private configuration file(s), which needed distinct names, of course, to avoid chaos. Chaos prevailed, predictably, because of these conflicting standards, and you/we are still dealing with the problem today. (No, I am NOT complaining, I'd be bragging except I had nothing to do with any of it. But I did have the honor of meeting many very smart people who do have real bragging rights.)

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache is running but its log is not
Okay, there was already a thread about that, and my Python problem seems solved. I still have no log entries. Ok, as root, try lsof | grep apache and see if there are any open log files. You may need to emerge lsof first if you dont already have it. IIRC apache fails to start if it cant write to the log directory - could be wrong on that tho.
