[gentoo-user] [bit OT] 32 vs. 64 bits
Hello, I've bought a new laptop with Core 2 Duo processor which is 64 bit. My question is if applications (see below) compiled and running over 64 bits are stable enough or if I should compile for 32 bits. The applications are: - Seamoneky/Firefox - Java - Flash - Audacious - mplayer - VirtualBox/VMware - Qemu - Kerberos/OpenLDAP/OpenSSH (for these I think they are stable) - X.org/fluxbox - system suspending I have 4GB RAM and I know better is to compile for 64 bits, but for me is more important stability. Thanks a lot Pat

Thanks a lot Pat I think both 32-bit and 64-bit are very stable. I run both here. My input would be that 32-bit Flash and Java are still more compatible with stuff that's out there on the web and I'm generally better of on my wife's 32-bit Gentoo machine than my own 64-bit machine. don't get me wrong - 64-bit works really, really well or I would have dropped it, but if you build 64-bit Gentoo you want to build with multi-lib so you can run 32-bit stuff along the way. Anyway, I'm not the most software technical guy and I don't run much stuff that isn't marked stable so I cannot give you a leading edge view but if I had purchased your hardware I'd build and run 32-bit today and leave a 20GB partition for building 64-bit later. Good luck, Mark

The two most consist manifestations of the problem - error messages when running layman and warning messages when starting k3b - are all gone. The solution in my case for anyone who might find this thread later was: 1) Move all the locale stuff out of /etc/make.conf. I now only have the LINGUAS statement in there. 2) Move all the locale stuff into /etc/env.d/02locale. I'm not qualified to say what the right set of statements in 02locale might be.

OK, it turns out there may still be an issue or two. At least I'd like to get your input on it. All of the issues I had recognized up through yesterday were successfully fixed using the steps above. However when compiling Ardour this morning I found that it was installing locale data for as much as I can tell every language possible. Does this imply there is still a locale issue? If I only need en_US derivatives then why are other locale messages getting installed? Also, I noticed when using slocate that there are some locale directories under X11.

It's missing en_US.utf8 and en_US.ISO8859-1. Also, all of what I think are the font files are in a directory called charmaps, not charsets, like yours: (This is an AMD64 machine so maybe that's part of the difference?) No, those are mistakes on my part, I was working from memory, and my memory apparently sucks :\ The folders you should be looking at are the locales and charmaps directories, as you found. Also, you may not have anything in /usr/share/locales for the en_US stuff, since it's the default language and doesn't usually need translation. Now that I'm physically at my Gentoo desktop, here's what I have: apollo ~ # cat /etc/locale.gen en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 apollo ~ # ls /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US* /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US apollo ~ # ls /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF* /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz apollo ~ # locale-gen -l en_US.UTF-8 apollo ~ # cat /etc/env.d/02locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Before I do something stupid, can I erase all this /usr/share stuff by hand, then re-emerge glibc, rerun locale-gen to get the right stuff. I suspect that since I had weird settings in make.conf, now fixed with Dale's help, that now if I re-emerge glibc maybe I'll get the right stuff? I wouldn't erase anything unless you're concerned about disk space. The items in i18n are installed by default by glibc. The extra items in the locale folder may have been installed by an ebuild that isn't LINGUAS aware -- those folders contain the translated user interface messages. Having extras around shouldn't hurt anything.
Re: [gentoo-user] locale issue to clean up
Mark Knecht wrote: You may be correct about setting all of this in 02locale. I noticed that the Gentoo formatting stuff for vi is treating LC_ALL and LC_COLLATE differently than LINGUAS. The manual seems to say set system wide stuff in 02locale and user stuff in your own account. They are different. LINGUAS is a build-time hint for localized programs that lists which languages you want translations for. It has no effect at run-time other than ensuring that your selected languages are available. The LC_* variables, and LANG, are run-time settings that tell the C library which locale to use. LC_COLLATE, for example, tells vi how to sort things alphabetically. Just as an aside, I see frequent warnings not to set LC_ALL because it's dangerous, but that seems like a vast overreaction to me. LC_ALL is a global setting that overrides all of the other LC_ variables with a single setting. The danger is that you cannot then individually override the behavior, say to use a different currency or sorting format, but IMO the people who need to do that are the exception, and would clearly know how to do it. For a single user system with a single locale where all the LC_* variables have the same value anyway, setting LC_ALL to en_US and settings the other half-dozen LC_* variables to en_US has the same effect.

[gentoo-user] Need to recover corrupt disk drive...
Hi all, Over the weekend, I did a lot of software updates to my workstation. Finally, I rebooted the system and it wouldn't boot. It reported a kernel panic because it couldn't mount / (/dev/sda3) Further investigation from a live CD (Ubuntu) indicates that my partition table has been modified! sda4 wasn't there when I installed the system. The other 3 partitions seem reasonable. However, GRUB can't identify the filesystem on either sda1 nor sda3. I'm also not able to mount them from my live CD. Ubuntu doesn't even create device files for anything other than /dev/sda, but it shows the other partitions under fdisk. Here is what I've got: Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x9b889b88 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 100 803218+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 101 225 1004062+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda3 226 38913 310761360 83 Linux /dev/sda4 1 1 0 53 OnTrack DM6 Aux3 == So, I'm looking for advise.

[gentoo-user] [OT] gentoo vmware guest on winXP
I've been monkeying around with a vmware appliance of gentoo.2008.0 from July. Downloaded from bagvapp.com. It fired right up inside vmware running on winXP with no problems. But now updating I'm finding I cannot get a newer kernel compiled that will boot. The original kernel is 2.6.24-r8 and boot just fine. I attempted to compile a somewhat leaner meaner version. It appears the original was a `genkernel' creation. I paid close attention to SCSI settings in the original and any other settings having to do with disks. However my attempts consistently break out with the message: /dev/sda3 is an invalid device Of course the same /dev/sda3 is recognized fine if I boot from the original kernel. You'd think having a kernel on hand that works.. it would'nt be to tough to build a newer one using setting where possible from the old, but I'm finding it is proving to be quite difficult. Admittedly my skill level is rather low but still with one to plagiarize from seem like it should be a shoo-in. I've posted two horribly long configs here: http://www.jtan.com/~/reader/massive/ During menuconfig I ran a separate menuconfig in the old kernel directory so I had them both on screen trying to copy what seemed important. I've already tried many attempts here but still something I'm missing thats causing the kernel not to recognize /sda3 as a valid device. I hoped it would be something simple like SCSI_BUSLOGIC but that is not the case.

The file isn't automatically created by anything, since strictly speaking you can get away without using it. However, if you are going to add the locale information to your environment, that file name in the env.d directory is considered the correct way to do it. Without it, your locale is probably falling back to C or POSIX, the defaults, which for the most part behave just like en_US anyway. It certainly wouldn't hurt for you to explicitly set your locale and language options.

Can you post the out put or check it like this: grub I'm assuming sda1 is /boot find (hd0,0)/kerntab if you have something at /boot/kern* pressing TAB like shown above will complete the name and show that grub sees that partition. You could try (hd0,2)/something you know is there Like: find (hd0,2)/bin/attab Should complete to attr if grub sees the partition. You might get some kind of error too but check if the file name completed. If that stuff works, I'd try re-installing grub in the mbr of the /boot partition /sda1. In grub terms thats (hd0,0) So it would be: grub root (hd0,0) setup (hd0,0) grub outputs several lines of response quit Then reboot it and see what happens.

My guess for subversion is that it depends on neon, which USE kerberos (too lazy to check the ebuild now). Totem I have no idea. I think your emerge -DuN probably have recompiled the cups/neon/curl and what not because of the USE flag change, but since it is a recompile, revdep-rebuild may not have caught the changing libs and now you need to rebuild these seven packages.

[gentoo-user] mcview (mc -v) stopped working after glib update
Weird problem this one. I updated to sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201 (from 2.8_p20080602) and everything appears to be just fine. With one exception: viewing files in Midnight Commander's built-in viewer doesn't work anymore. Pressing F3 (View) does nothing. Calling `mcview` or `mc -v file` also does nothing; the application simply exits with no error messages (or any other messages; just nothing). Anyone encountered this? I've rebuild mc of course and revdep-rebuild shows all is OK.

Re: [gentoo-user] Strange --depclean / mit-krb5
I think in the configure script of some softwares they will just detect whether certain things are installed even though you turned off the use flag. So you just remove kerberos first, then remerge the packages that are reported to be depending on them.

Did you just recently switch off the kerberos flag? If so try recompiling cups and then those four packages. vorbis-tools depends on curl if you have the ogg123 flag set, and net-misc/curl also has the kerberos flag. So you may need to rebuild the curl package then the vorbis-tools package. I suspect similar things happen for totem and subversion. My guess for subversion is that it depends on neon, which USE kerberos (too lazy to check the ebuild now). Totem I have no idea. I think your emerge -DuN probably have recompiled the cups/neon/curl and what not because of the USE flag change, but since it is a recompile, revdep-rebuild may not have caught the changing libs and now you need to rebuild these seven packages.

John J. Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yeah, running 2.6.23-gentoo-r9 in vmplayer on XP. I was getting the same error till I read somewhere about trying the noapic option. Fired right up. Here's my grub.conf entry for the kernel in case it helps. title Gentoo Linux 2.6.23-r9 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.23-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/sda3 noapic Thanks... that addition doesn't help me here but as you've seen I'm trying to run 2.6.27*. Something I found on line may help you at some point... in the same way you've used noapic some users have found doscsi to be helpful. From what I remember it causes any scsi scanning or loading to proceed earlier. If you'd like the .config even though it's a different kernel, just say so. No, I have earlier kernels working 2.6.24-r8, but thanks for the offer. I just want to upgrade but there is really nothing I'm after in a newer kernel. However I would like to know if there is some change since 2.6.24 that is making it so difficult to get a working config for 2.6.27* because at some point I will need to upgrade. I've successfully updated all other software on the vmware guest.
[gentoo-user] [OT] Anyone running 2.6.27* kernel as guest in vmware?
I hope I don't get torched for posting several OT threads recently but I'm really at my wits end with getting a newer kernel to work in gentoo guest on windows XP inside a virtual machine. I wondered if any kind sole who has a 2.6.27-* kernel working in that situation would mind sending me the .config file to plagiarize? I am using scsi virtual disks so if you are using ide it may make a difference but I'd still like to see the .config The `From:' address in my posts always contains my real email address so feel free to use it. That .config file is kind of large to post here.

I have read in the past about hal + ivman and a bit of googling has brought up AutoFS as well. I was just wondering what the best system to automount USB media would be. I am looking for something that is relatively easy to set up and is also well maintained. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. AJ Anyone ever reply to this? If you're using Gnome, then HAL + Gnome will take care of it. I am using HAL + ivman in my servers. It works well for fixing mount points.
Re: [gentoo-user] How can I capture this video?

It is a commercial Windows program, though, but if you have access to a windows machine (or virtualized windows machine) at least it's better than nothing. http://applian.com/replay-media-catcher/demo.php And it's proof that capturing those videos is possible. Thanks Paul, unfortunately I do not have a MSWindows machine virtual or otherwise for this purpose (my work's MSWindows PC is locked down completely). As you say it proves that the concept works - all we need to do is develop this for the Linux-land.
