[gentoo-user] baselayout-1.12.5 sucks

2006-09-25 Thread Noack, Sebastian

Hi,

at the weekend I upgraded to baselayout-1.12.5. And this is the worse
version of baselayout since I'm using Gentoo.

The first reason therefore is, that the kernel log is spamming to your
console all the time, because of the loglevel doesn't become set to 1
anymore.

The workaround is to hack /etc/init.d/checkroot to call `dmesg -n 1` on
startup, even though in /etc/conf.d/rc is a variable RC_DMESG_LOGLEVEL
which is set to 1 by default, but it doesn't affect anything.


The other reason is, that independent from which net.*-scripts are
attached to a runlevel, at least one net.*-script besides net.lo becomes
started according to RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING=no [1] in /etc/conf.d/rc.
Such behaviour shouldn't be the default. If I want a distro where
anything happens automatically, I would use Ubunto or Suse. Furthermore
it isn't even possible to stop this behaviour by setting
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING to none or lo [1].

The workaround therefore is to set RC_PLUG_SERVICES=!net.* in
/etc/conf.d/rc.


But however, the best workaround would be the following I guess. :)

echo ~sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.5  /etc/portage/package.mask


If I just misunderstood the new configurations of baselayout-1.12.5,
feel free to answer, before other people apply my bad workarounds. ;)


[1]
# RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING allows some flexibility with the 'net' service.
# The following values are allowed:
#  none  - The 'net' service is always considered up.
#  no- This basically means that at least one net.* service besides
net.lo
#  must be up.  This can be used by notebook users that have a
wifi and
#  a static nic, and only wants one up at any given time to have
the
#  'net' service seen as up.
#  lo- This is the same as the 'no' option, but net.lo is also
counted.
#  This should be useful to people that do not care about any
specific
#  interface being up at boot.
#  yes   - For this ALL network interfaces MUST be up for the 'net'
service to
#  be considered up.

This is nothing to do with the init scripts. There are two ways an
interface can be started, through the init scripts or through hotplug.
The RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING deals with how others services, that require a
network connection, work.

 The workaround therefore is to set RC_PLUG_SERVICES=!net.* in
 /etc/conf.d/rc.

This isn't a workaround, it is the correct solution. If you don't want
your network interfaces, or anything else, started by hotplug, this
is the correct place to disable it.

A package offering more flexible configuration options doesn't make it
suck, IMO. you complain about Ubuntu and SUSE doing things automatically,
then complain about Gentoo increasing your choices.

Now for the rest of your comments, I wouldn't say that two small

[gentoo-user] mozilla-thunderbird-bin-1.5.0.7 missing

2006-09-25 Thread Sigi Schwartz

Hi,

ever since Thunderbird-1.5.0.7 came out I've been waiting for the binary
package (thunderbird-bin) to find its way to portage.

See, after building Thunderbird-1.5.0.5 from source I had problems
getting the Enigmail plugin to work properly. Someone obviously came up
with the idea to put the Enigmail PLUGIN into portage and create a
dependency between both packages. To me it means I have to rely on
what's in portage again. Alright, no big deal.

If I remember correctly the Enigmail plugin was not shown in the plugin
list in Thunderbird. OK, no big deal again. Configuring would be done
via menu.

Not getting the plugin to work properly... is a big deal! I can't read
certain encrypted messages anymore, which is unacceptable. I think some
more testing is needed before such solutions go stable. Anyway,
unmerging both packages, emerging thunderbird-bin instead, and
installing the plugin manually works just fine. I would like to keep it
that way, but the lack of new thunderbird-bin versions is just not
satisfying.

So, my questions would be:
- When do new thunderbird-bin versions arrive? OR
- How can I help creating an appropriate ebuild for that package? Is
there some howto? Maybe the necessary changes are just marginal. OR
- What was my mistake with the Thunderbird from source story?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Sigi

You can say that again!

 Since this emerge was running as root the installation process seems
 to drop priviledges temporarily.

Not quite. [1] explains it better that I could... If you really wanted to 
ignore a sandbox violation you should run:

# FEATURES=-sandbox emerge --oneshot gnome-panel

I wouldn't do that though...

 Am I missing something or is it a bug?

You are definitely missing something. Apparantly this is some kind of 
regression of bug #104088 [2]. I guess the fix is in comment #8.

The acpid is running, the battery kernel module is loaded, and 
in /proc/acpi/battery there is the battery.
# cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state

Re: [gentoo-user] recompiing kernel quesiton

Hi Pawel Kraszewski,

Tks for your advice.


 First of all - you may try the installation CD of Gentoo - boot it and 
 give 'halt -p' at command prompt. If it switches off, that means error in 
 your config. If it doesn't, this might be the hardware fault.

I made following 2 tests
1)
Booted Gentoo install-amd64-minimal-2006-1
Ran
# shutdown -h now (also tried poweroff)

System halted but not poweroff

2)
Booted Knoppix 5
Ran
# shutdown -h now

System halted and poweroff immediately.

I think it is the problem of Gentoo not hardware.

[gentoo-user] files emerge will download

2006-09-25 Thread Matias Grana

hi,
Is it possible to get a list of the files an emerge command would
download?
I have a dial-up connection at home, so I can't download large files.
However, I can download them at work, put them on my usb-stick, bring
them home and put them on my /usr/portage/distfiles/, so I can emerge
the packages I want. But (there's always a but) sometimes an emerge
command downloads more than one file for each ebuild. So I would like to
have a way to know exactly which files the emerge would need, would I do
something like
% emerge x

Hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance,

You mean version 1.5.0.7 -- no, I didn't. I tried all kinds of stuff
with version 1.5.0.5 and it didn't work:
- with crypt
- without crypt and manually adding the Enigmail plugin
- always the same result: the plugin can't use gnupg properly and
reports an error (don't know what it said anymore). You understand that
I'm not that willing to try it all again. Takes just too long to compile.

But going through all new mails on this mailinglist I just now saw one

 You should then be able to recreate the array with mdadm --create
 --assume-clean, and get access to your filesystem and data.

I didn't pay attention to that option before. But now I tried it. The data 
on that array is not that important, most have been backed up elsewhere.
It seemed to work. After recreating the array I ran fsck. The filesystem 
is ext3. It recovered the journal and cleared 5 orphaned inode and the 
filesystem seemed fine. I could mount it and access the data. The array 
synchronized again.
For safety though I might copy the data elsewhere and recreate the 
filesystem from scratch.

[gentoo-user] mozilla-thunderbird and local mail [maildir]

2006-09-25 Thread Stuart Howard


Hi folks

Does anyone know if Thunderbird can be configured to read /home/user/.maildir ?

I have a qmail setup that delivers directly to /home/user/.maildir and
is reliable etc. so I do not wish to change this.
Now mutt will read this fine which is what I use when away from home
but for home use I prefer a X app. I have used Evoultion and kmail
both of which are fine but have a few niggles which mean I am looking
for an alternative.
Thunderbird would be the next client but I can only get it to setup
for POP or IMAP neither of which I want to use. I just want it to read
a maildir.

Not to my knowledge, but you could setup an IMAP client on your box 
(wu-imapd, courier-imap, etc) that can [obviously] read this directory 
and then have Thunderbird make an IMAP connection to this service.  A 
decent IMAP server has an additional advantage of handling multiple 
access to the same files (eg. having two Thunderbird instances running 
at the same time).

Re: [gentoo-user] DRI lost after modular X and gcc-4.1.1

 I've switched to modular X and gcc-4.1.1,

Better take such big upgrade steps one at a time.  :)

 Kernel 2.6.12-r10
 x11-base/x11--drm 20060608

Do these two go together?  Better upgrade to a newer kernel, at 
least version 2.6.16.

 Any hints?

When you have the new kernel up, look at 'dmesg | egrep agp|drm' 
to see whether the modules loaded correctly.  You may need to set 
AGP_AMD64 as a module, as it should probably load after the drm.

A bunch of packages including app-editors/vim provide vi (as well as vim in

why anyone would want vi over vim. Vi really lacks some important features...

Re: [gentoo-user] DRI lost after modular X and gcc-4.1.1

2006-09-25 Thread Sergio Polini

Sorry, I can't understand...

Richard Fish:
 If you want DRI, you have two choices:

 1. the open source radeon driver, with the in-kernel DRM driver. 
 For this you need to turn on CONFIG_DRM and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON in
 your kernel configuration.  This doesn't work for all chips yet
 AFAIK.

 2. the proprietary ATI drivers.  For this you don't change the
 kernel configuration, but add fglrx to VIDEO_CARDS, and change
 your xorg.conf driver from radeon to fglrx.

But:
i) as to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers 
there is a third choise: CONFIG_DRM=n and emerge x11-drm;
ii) in http://www.ati.com/products/catalyst/linux.html:
Q7: What X-Windows versions are supported in this driver?
A7: Driver packages are available for XFree86 versions 4.1, 4.2, and 
4.3, as well as X.Org 6.8.
So they shouldn't work with Xorg 7.* (actually I had DRI working with 
Xorg 6.8)

Jerry McBride:
 I compile the kernel drm, agpgart and 
 ati-agp. I then emerge x11-drm.

But the kernel drm and x11-drm look as they are not to work together.

  me:
  How did you compile ati-agp?

 I selected it and then compiled them with make modules.

But I just can select ATI radeon if I select kernel drm:

M Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
M   ATI Radeon

I do net get ati-agp compiled, and ... make modules should not be 
needed for kernels 2.6.* ;-)

I'm a bit confused.

[gentoo-user] Odd OOo behaviour when loading docs

I am trying to open some documents on a USB CF.  When I click on the document 
name in Konqueror OOo launches with its splash screen and progress bar, and 
then nothing else happens.  Once the progress bar completes, there's nothing 
more happening.

To troubleshoot this problem I started the application from a terminal.  Then 
I noticed that the document name had spaces in it, which I enclosed in single 
quotes.  OOo writer launched without any problem and loaded the document. 

Why is it that through Konqueror OOo trips over itself, but loading it through 
the CLI works fine?  How does Konqueror call OOo and how does it treat file 
names with spaces in them?

I had found a very interesting little application called rage by
Rasterman, the developer of enlightenment.  It was intensely
interesting, but it was just a little utility he wrote.  My system is
in disarray, but while it worked, it automatically thumbnailed all
videos in a directory tree, and played them on demand.


I'm pretty sure this is the way Man was meant to play movies.  It's
worth the download:

It doesn't seem to be available in any way though.  I don't especially
need the nice fullscreen interface, but the thumbnails and
fast-forward/rewind functionality is amazing.

You might want to try a more recent kernel than 2.6.12.  Since you
have a PCIe card/system, and probably have no AGP bridge to begin
with, you really don't need AGP support at all.  A 2.6.18 kernel will
allow you to build the necessary DRM drivers without requiring AGP
support.

there are  2  logging procedures in the latest  make.conf.example :

  # PORT_LOGDIR is the location where portage will store all the logs it
  # creates from each individual merge. They are stored as -$PF.log
  # in the directory specified. This is disabled until you enable it by
  # providing a directory. Permissions will be modified as needed IF the
  # directory exists, otherwise logging will be disabled.  is the
  # increment at the time the log is created. Logs are thus sequential.
  #PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage

and (both are edited to shorten lines)

  # PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES: selects msgs to be logged, possible values are:
  #   info, warn, error, log
  #   Warning: commenting this will disable elog
  PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES=warn error log

  # PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM: selects the module(s) to process the log messages.
  #   Modules included in portage are (empty means logging is disabled):
  #save (saves one log per package in $PORT_LOGDIR/elog,
  #  /var/log/portage/elog if $PORT_LOGDIR is unset)
  #custom (passes all messages to $PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND)
  #syslog (sends all messages to syslog)
  #mail (send all messages to the mailserver defined
  #  in $PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI)
  #To use elog you should enable at least one module
  #PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM=save mail

'logdir' used to be populated with lines like

  4332-portage-2.1.1.log
  4333-portage-2.1-r2.log
  4333-portage-2.1.1.log

but since those for update to Portage 2.1.1 , no more have appeared.

'elog' creates lines like

  app-admin:gkrellm-2.2.9-r1:20060923-012928.log
  app-arch:gzip-1.3.5-r8:20060923-011035.log
  app-arch:gzip-1.3.5-r9:20060923-011012.log
  app-arch:zip-2.31-r1:20060923-04.log

which used to be dropped in a subdir 'elog', but now appear in $PORT_LOGDIR .

Yes, I do still have the appropriate lines in my working  make.conf .

This looks like a bug in the new version of Portage.
Perhaps someone should report it: it's not a high priority for me.
