Re: [gentoo-user] pear hangs no FUTEX_WAIT
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20. May 08: Even the simple pear command from the command line hangs, strace show that it hangs at futex(0x2ac88d5093a0, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL I had this problem with rpm waiting for a lock in its DB. This futex() call waits forever, that at memory address 0x2ac88d5093a0 appears a 2. Try to figure out what's mapped on 0x2ac88d5093a0 and what could write a 2 to it but doesn't.

For example, I have a server here that doesn't use X, kde, gnome, java, and a number of other fairly large areas of portage. It would be nice if I could speed up syncing by excluding these categories from the process. It is possible, by setting PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS in make.conf to add --exclude options to mask out the directories you don't want. As for being advisable, it depends on whether you are prepared to risk and breakage this may incur, but unless you do anything silly, you should be able to fix any damage by undoing the change and syncing again. -- Neil Bothwick If your VCR still flashes 12:00 - then Linux is not for you. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I know of one case a long time ago, maybe 2001 or 2002, where I used an older drive and got burned by a preexisting copy of grub in the MBR conflicting with the version I had installed into a specific partition. I kept thinking grub was working but doing the wrong thing. I suspect that had I run some commands like the ones were talking about here I would have found the problem. As it turned out I didn't and went the direction of completely repartitioning the drive. What a waste! Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

It's not a arch vs ~arch issue as 3.5.9-r4 is already stable, so I would guess that the one package that came up in the first revdep-rebuild is now pulling in the others in the second. What was that package? Same thing happened to me because midway I had to stop the emerge and restart it later. The solution is to emerge all the other packages first from the original emerge, without downgrading kde-base/kdelibs, kde-base/libkdegames.
