sun-jdk is now installed.
I'm now having problems with gcc, as it fails with an error. I'm guessing
that having an out-of date gcc is probably driving a few more packages to
failure.

Re: [gentoo-user] GNOME: Cant logout and Lock Screen is showing different background from GNOME screensaver

I can manually log myself out, of course, by doing killall gnome-session but that can't possibly be the Right Thing (tm). :) 2) The Lock Screen command, however, works and sends me to my screensaver. However, when I move the mouse and the password dialog reappears, the background is the default green splashscreen that comes with a new user. Weird. I don't know where to hunt to change the lock screen background, and I was pretty sure it was supposed to just be gnome-screensaver with a dialog on top. 3) While I'm at it, does anyone know a way to get the random pictures screen saver to select a specific folder without making a folder mess in my home folder called Pictures?

A true hardware RAID card can (to the best of my knowledge) always be accessed by the system. That's largely true, but only while the drives are still in the same system. We are discussing the disgusting cheap crappy motherboard RAID out there, try swapping motherboards out on one of those and see what happens. Tip: the motherboard does not believe the drives belong to it anymore. At the other end of the spectrum we have the good quality hardware RAID, like what my manager insists we use at work (exclusively Dell). 100+ machines, history going back 5 years, no failures, no screwups, no data loss due to funky RAID. Plenty of drives failed though - the data center can get pretty hot (this is Africa after all). So given the choice between crappy mb RAID and software RAID, I'm putting my money where the debugger lives - kernel-based sw RAID. If my boot CD does not support it, it's a trivial matter to fetch and burn another CD. Heck, I can go through the DC door and take my pick from whatever happens to be lying on 5TB of assorted stuff on the ftp server. With an mb RAID gone south, I have no such options and run the serious risk of losing everything after hardware failure. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

which matched my external USB harddrive enclosure and name it
/dev/BackUpDrive for convenience. I haven't plugged in the drive
for a few months now, and udev has been updated from 115-r1 to
124-r1 in the meantime, and the rule doesn't work any more.
I think this may have to do with the fact that udevinfo now gives
me

Here's the thing, I am pretty sure that the serial number entry
DEF10BDD77EE refers to the drive, and is/was a much better way of
matching the actual drive (it is more unique than any of the other
bits of information in the udevinfo listing for the sd device), and
I would prefer to still match via the serial number in the udev
rules.
Any suggestions on how I can get my desired behaviour or on how I
can debug this?

Okay, I think I have a bit more idea. It turns out that for some
reason the usb device is not listed as a parent device of the block
device sda1. This is what happens:
snip
sep 24:0:0:0 # udevinfo -p /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4\:1.0/host25/target25\:0\:0/2
5\:0\:0\:0/block\:sda/sda1/ -a
Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.
looking at device

/snip
That's the end of the output. If I execute udevinfo against
...target25:0:0/25:0:0:0
then all the parent devices are printed. Is there any way of making
udev recognize that the sda1 device is a child of the actual hardware?
Thanks,

You can use attributes from the device itself and from any single parent device. What you can't do is use attributes from multiple parent devices. -- »Q« Kleeneness is next to Gödelness.
[gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6.27-r5 soft lockup
I upgraded from gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r4 to -r5 a couple of days ago and got the below error messages in /var/log/messages. Also dovecot was using 100% CPU and could not be killed. This resulted in me having to hard reset the server. This happened 3 times until I eventually reverted back to -r4 and all was stable again. The config used for both kernels was the same and it happened after irregular intervals of between 5 hours and 9 hours. Anyone have any ideas? Things are back to normal now but I will obviously be wary about my next kernel upgrade. Cheers, Dave.
