[gentoo-user] openmp flag
Hello,
background:
It seems there is a major push now to put openmp:
[1,2] into embedded systems [3].
So I looked at these [4] packages to find something
interesting to look deeper into related to openMP.
Blender immediately jumped out at me as a good example,
cause an old friend Ken Hughes is, imho, one of the
world's most amazing C programmers, and a stalwart at
the blender project.
OK, here's the question, I went to emerge blender
and found that the openmp flag is already set. {?}
Yet I looked everywhere and did not see the openmp flag
set (/etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/package.use)
so where is it getting set on my AMD workstation?
[ebuild N ] media-gfx/blender-2.49b-r2 USE=ffmpeg
nls ogg openmp -blender-game -openal -verse
I feel like I should know (profiles etc) but, I'm a little
bit brain_dead this am, so any help is appreciated.
OH, anyone is encouraged to chime in about openmp
and your thoughts as to it's viability and usefulness.
Do you believe it will become a core technology,
embedded into GCC? Used widely?

Packages can choose to have USE flags enabled or disabled for them by
default. So blender likely has openmp enabled by default, without that
affecting any other packages.

If you can use it, use it. OpenMP is little more than a set of
extensions to C (and C++) which allows the normally-scalar language to
do some things in a parallel fashion without resorting to the costs of
multithreading. This is good, because vector instructions have been
available in x86 since MMX came out, and improvements to the vector
instructions available to x86 still goes on.
Related are CUDA and OpenCL, which are two other systems for
parallelizing code. CUDA assumes you have access to an nVidia GPU (and
have a CUDA-enabled driver installed). OpenCL is a big more generic,
and supports dispatching to CUDA, CPU vector instructions or even
thread pools.
Personally, my recommendation is to enable everything you can get
working (be it, OpenMP, CUDA or OpenCL); vector processing is going to
be generally more efficient than scalar processing. You don't need to
worry about which is better unless you're a software developer. (And
if you're a software developer, go study up on their differences;
tradeoffs happen.)

However in this case, the flag is not set in the ebuild. Eix shows a +
before the USE flag if it is enabled in the ebuild.
The one place the OP didn't appear to check was the output from emerge
--info. The flag is set on this system, with a desktop profile.

[gentoo-user] systemd question
I just installed and booted with systemd and most services are working normally, except syslog.service and remote-fs.service. Both of those failed on bootup with a No such file or directory error. I can't figure out how to make systemd tell me which files it can't find. Any ideas?

Both of those failed on bootup with a No such file or directory error. I can't figure out how to make systemd tell me which files it can't find. Any ideas? The syslog.service works as a place-holder for whatever syslog you have installed (or not). So, if you have syslog-ng, you do ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service If you have rsyslog, you do: ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service If you (like me) don't have any syslog because you want to use journald, you do: ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service That is the common way to mask services in systemd. If you don't need remote filesystems (NFS, cifs shares, etc.) mounted at boot time, mask remote-fs.service: ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/remote-fs.service I do however have the remote-fs.service (systemd-191, out of the oven), I don't know why it isn't installed in your case.

[gentoo-user] Creating KVM image using existing gentoo partition
Got a new laptop at work,, running Linux instead of Mac, yay! Unfortunately, it comes with Ubuntu installed, boo! But I split the 500GB drive into two parts, began a gentoo install in the second half, and now I am stalled. The main purpose of the laptop is to run Centos 6.2 in a KVM image so it can simulate production as much as possible. As much as I dislike Ubuntu, I really only use it for terminals, Emacs, and Firefox. I ssh into the Centos image for all that stuff. I'd love to switch Ubuntu to gentoo and set up my usual fvwm etc instead of that awful Unity. Unfortunately, because I have to leave that Centos image running as much as possible, I can't take the time to reboot into the gentoo partition to finish the install, not even on weekends or evenings. It was ok getting the initial gentoo install started, but that was only an hour or two. I can't take the time for a real install, there's work to do. So it occurred to me it would be great to create a new KVM image using the gentoo partition as is for its file system, instead of creating one out of a file as it did for the Centos image. But I don't see any obvious options to do that. This is my first time with KVM, and someone else set up the Centos image using some GUI wizard. Here be my scurvy dog question(s): Is it possible to create a KVM image using an existing gentoo partition (/dev/sda3) for the filesystem, such that once I get the gentoo install finished, I can boot directly to the gentoo partition and not have to purify it or sanitize it after KVM has meddled with it? (and how do I do this? :-) If not, seems like the simplest workaround would be to create a KVM image from scratch and do a complete install there, then use cp, tar, cpio, or something similar to copy everything over to the real partition. But that sounds ugly for some reason. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.

Sorry: I meant remote-fs.target; I don't think there is remote-fs.service, it is a target (and one of the special ones). Do you need remote filesystem support? If not, then don't worry about it; but if you want to find the problem, send the output from systemctl status remote-fs.target. Mine is: # systemctl status remote-fs.target remote-fs.target - Remote File Systems Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib64/systemd/system/remote-fs.target; enabled) Active: active since Mon, 24 Sep 2012 18:33:09 -0500; 1 day and 3h ago Docs: man:systemd.special(7) Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Re: [gentoo-user] new install not starting gdm
You should edit this file: /etc/conf.d/xdm . Change the DISPLAYMANAGER=xdm to DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm. then: sudo rc-update add xdm default . 2012/9/26 Allan Gottlieb gottl...@nyu.edu I am building a new installation and must have messed up a step as gdm doesn't start from boot If I manually execute eselect rc restart xdm I get Sep 25 20:10:51 newlap gnome-keyring-daemon[2106]: couldn't create socket directory: No such file or directory Sep 25 20:10:51 newlap gnome-keyring-daemon[2106]: couldn't bind to control socket: /root/.cache/keyring-dJpHuM/control: No such file or directory which appears to be the problem and can also be found in /log/messages I have installed xorg-x11, xdm and gnome and /var/log/Xorg.0.log looks OK. The only complaints are failing to load vesa, modsetting, and fbdev drivers. However, the intel driver loads fine. /var/log/dmesg ends with entries saying that EXT4-fs mounted filesystems. No gdm/xdm/X/keyring complaints. What step did I miss? thanks, allan
