Re: [gentoo-user] Virtualbox VMs not running under 3.0.0-gentoo
Yes, I believe that would be your issue. I just handled that when I first moved over to openrc that i just added: modules=vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt without even thinking out/dealing with kernel versions. Give it a whirl and see if it works after you reload 'em. Changed my modules file and now it works fine. Does what you show above work with the new methods? I'd FAR rather have that than this mess: Yes, it does. I have virtually the same setup as you do (i.e. VirtualBox + NVIDIA) and I did not have to make any changes when upgrading to 3.0.

[gentoo-user] Running out of space on /var partition
After some deliberation I've started emerging libreoffice. It gave the usual office suite warnings at the beginning that there isn't enough space in /var (I have 5.8G and it was asking for more than 7G+). Half way through the emerge I noticed that I have only 74M left and is going down fast! O_O OpenOffice was able to emerge in the past using this partition size without a problem. I've flushed logs and what not to free some space, but I'm thinking of extending the partition somehow. I don't run LVM on this machine so that's not a solution for this circumstance. Is there anything I can do with mount --rbind and could I do this in the middle of an emerge? I have another partition with loads of space in it, but it has a different fs on it (reiser4 instead of /var's ext4). -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
Re: [gentoo-user] root fs moved, but no init
On Sunday, July 24 at 09:49 (+1000), Adam Carter said: Summary; Copied / from sda3 to sdb3 Updated the fstab in the new disk (/dev/sdb3 / btrfs noatime,compress=lzo0 0) Updated the kernel line's root=/dev/sda3 to /dev/sdb3 in grub.conf, but left the root (hd0,0) as it is. So, kernel is loaded from sda but init should run from sdb. When booting the kernel successfully mounts /dev/sdb3 as root fs Then the system halts at one of the freeing memory messages, but I assume the problem is that init isn't executed from /dev/sdb3 I wouldn't assume. If init isn't executed you should get an explicit error from the kernel: Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to the kernel.

So, I closed as much stuff as I could and started downloading a couple good size videos. After a few minutes, you guessed it, kernel panic followed by a reboot. To make sure it was not a fluke or something, I repeated the process and got the same result. Dale, I would suspect the download-helper-plugin as that is common in both the Firefox and Seamonkey crashes. Can you provide a link to the plugin you use to allow others to test this to see if it works for them? I'm not sure you are right but it is possible. Here is a linky: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/seamonkey/addon/video-downloadhelper/ Looks nice, actually. Even calls ffmpeg to convert the videos to different formats. Will try it this week and will see if it causes issues for me. It's pretty straight forward. I can get a failure by going to youtube and starting the download of two or three fairly long movies. I usually middle click and open the video in a new tab. Then start the download and close the tab. I usually walk off or watch TV while it downloads. I have the slow DSL here so it takes a bit to download but it usually crashes in a minute or two. Firefox crashes faster but Seamonkey only takes a couple minutes or something. In a new tab, that could be part of it. Do you also get it if you use a single tab? Eg. open video, start download, then wait? If anyone tests this, let me know if it messes up. I'm on amd64 multilib too. That may have some effect. Same here, so should be an interesting test.

You should always copy that (and make sure it's /dev on the root fs, not the udev /dev that gets mounted over it. * This was the cause of a bug in the stage3 tarballs a few weeks back, where some /dev entries did not exist in the tarball and the result was that people were able to successfully install Gentoo, but were not able to successfully boot into the installation.

Re: [gentoo-user] mysqld invoked oom-killer
Sounds like a case for a swap partition that can be activated when you need it for big emerges. I hit the same thing with firefox-5 oddly enough. I have one smallish swap partition at PRI=10 and a bigger one at PRI=1. As for OOo, long ago I figured the pain wasn't worth the gain so now I use the -bin packages. Or switch to Libre Office. Its compiler requirements seem lighter than OO.o. I tried libreoffice with the same result. Much more strangely, I enabled a 10GB swap file and got the same error. I thought it was a virtual memory problem at first but now that I look more closely it looks like a java problem: Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for code cache JavaVM: JNI_CreateJavaVM called _exit, caught by abort_handler in javavm.cxx [Java framework] sunjavaplugin.soCan not create JavaVirtualMachine, abort handler was called.
