I've looked in the world file and there is basically nothing there so I'm guessing it's in the profile somewhere - but just where? At this point in the process, world is indeed empty or nearly empty, nothing wrong with that. profile definitions are in /var/portage/profiles, the one you are using is the /etc/portage/make.conf symlink[1] If you examine the files in those directories, you'll quickly see how it's constructed - it's a tree structure, files have parents and have entries to add and remove things. If you *really* want to, you can define new profiles for yourself and store them anywhere convenient, as a profile is really just some date files and pointers to other data files. man 5 portage gives further details on what can be in each type of file (type is indicated by name). There are no more server profiles as such, that idea is deprecated. Nowadays we have base profiles instead, like default/linux/amd64/13.0 and desktop variants like default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop It's most likely you have most desktop features enabled. Two approaches: - Post the output of eselect profile list run as root - Post the output of emerge --info | grep USE [1] On your system the profiles might be in /usr/portage/profiles and the symlink might be /etc/make.profile. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
Re: [gentoo-user] k3b burning BD-Disk pretends to fail at 99.99%
Hi, attemting to create a BD-RE disk (Re-recordables are nice, sine non-RW media don't grow in my garden ;-) Yeah. A BD-R tree would be a fine thing. Note that growisofs on BD-RE would not show the bug at the end. It happens only with BD-R which you submit in blank state. If you treat your BD-R with dvd+rw-format before using them, the bug should not show up. If you can talk K3b into using growisofs option -use-the-force-luke=spare:none then it will not format the blank BD-R, work with full nominal speed, and should not show the bug. (There will be no Defect Management. So there will be no checkreading and no replacement of bad blocks.) --- I wrote a mail to media-opti...@gentoo.org, proposing the patch for growisofs.

Re: [gentoo-user] k3b burning BD-Disk pretends to fail at 99.99%
Hi, maybe the problem is when closing the session or writing some kind of lead- out, or the like. The problem is that the CLOSE TRACK/SESSION command is appropriate for the end of burning BD-R, only if it is unformatted or if it is formatted to SRM without Pseudo Overwrite. As soon as it is formatted to Pseudo Overwrite, the command is inappropriate, which the burner indicates by the ILLEGAL REQUEST error code (which one would see if K3b would not swallow it). The bug of growisofs is that it formats the BD-R to Pseudo Overwrite but omits to memorize this new state. If the BD-R is already formatted to Pseudo Overwrite when growisofs inspects it, then its state gets memorized and the inappropriate SCSI command is not issued. My patch proposal just sets the memorizing Pseudo Overwrite flag after the medium has been formatted. So growisofs treats it the same as if it had already been formatted when growisofs first inspected it. This avoids the error. Have a nice day :) Thomas

Hi, michaelkintz...@gmail.com: Hi Thomas, this problem can either be fixed by patching growisofs as you suggest, or by changing k3b to use cdrtools in preference to growisofs Joerg will heavily object, but my sincere opinion as technical expert on this field is that growisofs is the better choice. I mentioned in this thread what i dislike about it. Joerg added the fact that it is unmaintained since 5 years. But aside from that, i cannot point to any reason why growisofs is an inferior burn backend compared with my own software which i try hard to make as good as possible. Joerg keeps his code up to date Yep. Joerg and i seem to be the only active developers on this field. But there has nothing new happened with optical media since Andy left the playground. If not for this BD-R bug, nobody would care that growisofs is unmaintained. Currently i have the impression that in most distros the whole topic of optical media and their filesystems is unmaintained or at least under-maintained. cdrecord on DVD and BD suffers from Joerg's peculiar way to read the specs (and to not disclose which paragraphs exactly, when his understanding is brought into question). His and my understanding of MMC seem fundamentally incompatible. Obviously Andy Polykov read the same specs as i, when he created dvd+rw-tools. If people need technical support about growisofs, then i am ready to help. I am subscribed to cdwr...@other.debian.org which is the official place to submit bug reports and requests for dvd+rw-tools.

Until 2007 as user of growisofs. For a short while as friendly competitor. Now as its sentinel, so nobody has reason to regret having tried burning DVD on Linux. Just curious...if you don't use Gentoo, why do you subscribe to gentoo-user list? The topic came up from a side note on cdrkit's mailing list. The Fedora maintainer of growisofs asked whether i know more about the problem. I pointed to above post by Andy, re-read it and recognized that he left a treasure map to find the bug. After getting confirmation that the proposed fix works, i googled for similar bug reports in various distros. An archive of the gentoo-user list was among the found sites. My first mail to the list did not show up. So i subscribed a day later and sent it again. Okay, then, is your patch necessary when using this command: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso with a DVD? Or is this only applicable to BR? Because I don't own any BluRay discs, or players. If it's applicable to DVD, since I use the above command, you could send me the patch and I'd apply it to app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools-7.1-r1 in Gentoo and give it a test drive. I do remember that in the past I've experienced a similar error where it appeared to me that growisofs seemed not to close media, but the data on the DVD was fine, so I didn't pursue it.

Re: [gentoo-user] k3b burning BD-Disk pretends to fail at 99.99%
Hi, Okay, then, is your patch necessary when using this command: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso with a DVD? No. I do not know about any growisofs flaws with DVD. (Besides its -use-the-force-luke magic which is reserved for those who read growisofs.c additionally to its man page.) Because I don't own any BluRay discs, or players. The bug fix has an effect only if you submit a blank BD-R. It is necessary if one cannot live with growisofs reporting error and returning a non-zero exit value. There are rumors that the inappropriate command spoils the burn. But this is not very plausible because the Pseudo Overwrite burn is already done when the error happens. I do remember that in the past I've experienced a similar error where it appeared to me that growisofs seemed not to close media, but the data on the DVD was fine, so I didn't pursue it. That must have been something else. Closing the medium should indeed happen with -dvd-compat. But of course one cannot close DVD+RW, formatted DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, or BD-RE ... and obviously not Pseudo Overwrite BD-R. dvd+rw-mediainfo would have told what's up with the medium after the burn. (It helps to have a copy of MMC specs at hand when reading its output.) My offer holds: I am willing to investigate any burn problems. Be it with my own software or the one of others. (I must restrict my offer insofar that i will not waste lots of expensive one-time media for mistakes which i did not make myself.) A typical first experiment will be to use my own software with the problematic combination of burner and medium. This shall not mean that in the end i will urge people to switch to my stuff. The goal will be to find out what's wrong with the user's situation and how to possibly fix it. Have a nice day :) Thomas
