Working fine here, with the following USE set:

USE="-gcrypt -ldap nls offensive pam -sasl secure-path (-selinux)
sendmail -skey ssl -sssd" ABI_X86="(64)"

I wonder if your issue isn't related to updated PAM libraries.  The
post emerge messages for PAM suggest either rebooting or restarting
certain services after upgrades.


I thought so too, but neither reboot, nor re-merging the PAM libraries 
made a difference. To be fully honest, for "re-merging the PAM 
libraries" I only looked at the immediate dependencies, so there's some 
room for error there. Still, I think the best next step is to try what 
others suggested: study the strace or the core file to try to understand 
in which library the problem occurres.

[gentoo-user] sudo-1.9.8_p2 produces Segmentation Fault on any use

[Anton]

On a recent update, `sudo` got upgraded from sudo-1.9.6_p1-r2 to 
sudo-1.9.8_p2. Since then, any call to `sudo` other than `sudo --help` 
resulted in a Segmentation Fault. I have tried remerging sudo again or 
remerging the PAM-related dependencies, but it did not help. Switching 
back to 1.9.6, however, resulted in a working sudo.


Is it just me, or has anybody else seen a similar problem?

Re: [gentoo-user] Autoexecute when "returning" from sudo ?

[Anton Molyboha]

Hi, Meino

I'd make a script, sudo_with_rehash:

  sudo "$@"
  rehash

and add to whatever is the equivalent of .bashrc for zsh:

  alias sudo="source sudo_with_rehash"

Would that work for you?

Best,

Well,

cd /var/tmp/portage/dev-haskell/stack-1.3.2/work/stack-1.3.2
runhaskell Setup build

does show an error. It looks like package version mismatch, digging into it...

Sorry for the noise. Strange that emerge did not show any error message from

[gentoo-user] Is there rpcgen in Gentoo and how to compile dev-perl/Ace?

[Anton Molyboha]

Hi all,

I am trying to emerge dev-perl/Ace-1.920.0-r2 on my Gentoo Prefix on MacOS
and it fails trying to run "rpcgen -I -K -1 rpcace.x" and not finding
rpcgen (or rather finding the XCode version of it which I don't want)

This being Prefix, things are expected to fail, so both options are
possible:
1) rpcgen is provided by some package which is not listed as a dependency
of dev-perl/Ace
2) dev-perl/Ace does not really need rpcgen and a proper build
configuration would avoid trying to call it.

As for option 1, Wikipedia says that rpcgen is part of "Sun Microsystems
ONC RPC". The only package I could find that would mention sunrpc in the
description is net-libs/libtirpc, but I don't see any mention of rpcgen in
its sources (I could not emerge it yet either) Maybe I am looking in the
wrong place and something else would provide a working rpcgen? There are
quite a few rpc-related packages in Gentoo and I would not be able to just
try each of them.

As for option 2 - I don't actually know what dev-perl/Ace is, I need it for
bioperl which I need for something else... I don't see any rpc-related use
flags and not sure where else to look that would influence its dependence
on that rpcgen.

TL;DR: I have two questions:
1) Does anybody know of a Gentoo package which provides the tool "rpcgen"
2) Does anybody know how dev-perl/Ace is meant to be compiled and whether
the dependence on rpcgen is necessary.

The information requested by a failing emerge is attached (including the
slightly modified ebuild working around previous build failures)

Thanks in advance!

Anton

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] atom+nouveau

[Anton Shumskyi]

Hi=) I have asus eeepc with Atom N570, Intel NM10 motherboard and nvidia
ION 2 (GT218).
Don't know if it's related, but I had the same black screen with official
nvidia drivers long time ago, so I stick to nouveau instead. It was all
normal until wayland came around and xorg-server fails every couple
releases.
So I have these issues time to time

1. X is dead, black screen on boot even on console without gnome, can login
and type commands, but everything is black, can connect over ssh
fix: rollback to previous working xorg-server (or unmask newer if
available), then recompile all installed xorg drivers again and everything
is working

2. X is alive, but when loading gdm nothing happened, black screen,
notebook unresponsive, can't even go to tty1 ctrl+alt+f1, gdm eat all cpu
and memory, then after 5-15 minutes crushes and freezes completely even on
ssh
fix: connect over ssh if possible or liveusb, disable display manager, so
only terminal is loaded on boot.
that's gnome issue, so I manually disable wayland for it instead of default
at

/etc/gdm/custom.conf
[daemon]
WaylandEnable=false

enable dm and load gnome on xorg and everything is working
normally wayland is ok, but sometimes is not

3. Also there can be issues with xorg and nouveau firmware compatibility,
and you can try to install/uninstall sys-firmware/nvidia-firmware package
to test
with that firmware you can have hardware acceleration enabled over vdpau,
otherwise you can only use software renderer and video is sometimes luggy

4. Sometimes xorg libinput crushes and I have mouse+touch+keyboard not
working with wayland, so I rollback or uninstall it, recompile xorg server
and drivers and stick to X instead of wayland
usually I have at xorg-drivers INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard libinput mouse
synaptics wacom"

Maybe with kde it has similar issues, haven't tested

currently I have wayland and X working normally and I have these package
versions
x11-base/xorg-server-1.19
sys-firmware/nvidia-firmware-340.32
gnome 3.22
sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.8.12, will be 4.9.0 soon but that's unrelated
in my case

Hope some of it may be useful for you=)

[gentoo-user] how to upgrade perl

[Anton Shumskyi]

In my case perl-cleaner was quite useless=( but it has an update since
then, so maybe it will work now.

But if it will be blocking updates you can always do it in some brutal
way=)))
run emerge perl with "--nodeps" and after do the same for every package
that uses perl
you can find their files at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/ and use
something like
portageq owners / /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/*
to find all packages that need reinstall, again if perl-cleaner won't work

simple emerge won't help, because it will try to compile some packages in
wrong order

and I have perl 5.24, using that repo
/etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
[gentoo]
location = /usr/portage/gentoo
sync-type = git
sync-uri = https://github.com/gentoo-mirror/gentoo.git

Re: [gentoo-user] Help installing skype

Hi=)
Can't really help with 32bit conflicts, I gave up on it since other
unofficial packages got broken.
But you can try workaround with disabled abi_x86_32, put skype ebuild to
your local overlay and remove all abi_x86_32 related in it. And it still
can fail=)
Or you can give a try to web.skype.com

Same for me, but it appears only after I'm canceling some job on terminal

Re: [gentoo-user] how to use my SSD the right way ;-)

[Anton Shumskyi]

Hi, there is a native queuing at my INTEL SSD 64GB, so i'v set noop
scheduler via udev rules. And it's kind a luggish when deleting a lot files
like kernel sources (at ext4,xfs,btrfs, FS makes no difference, some cheap
hardware stuff)​. Will test some day another scheduler like deadline on
top of native one at hardware, it's some kernel overhead but hope system
will not freeze for half a minute or more at high I/O

For me best performance was at XFS, but for you ZFS (or less stable BTRFS)
may be a better choice if you have powerful enough CPU, my 2 core + HT
Intel Atom is too slow for it =(

and fstab options for my XFS (discard = trim option)
attr2,discard,inode64,noquota,relatime

And the best guide is at Arch wiki=) As always=)

Re: [gentoo-user] Parallella supercomputer

[Anton Shumskyi]

Hi=) as far as i heard Parallella runs linux kernel on Zynq ARM core ONLY
and Parallella cores act as a co-processor. So you can't get all its fancy
cores out of box=(( you'll probably need to make some extreme kernel +
openjdk hacks (and may be a lot of others).
The main problem is that system runs on ARM core and Parallella cores are
actually OpenRISC cores and i think that linux is not ready for such
multiarch system, but I hope someday it will.
I wanted to get some Parallella boards too, but for my needs maybe couple
of Beagle Bone Black are more appropriate=) It's an ARM Cortex-A8 dev board
with 2 1GHz cores, some 3d accelerator, 512MB DDR3 RAM, 2GB integrated eMMC
storage + microSD slot, LAN, USB host and micro USB client for power and
external PC control, microHDMI and audio through that HDMI, and a lot of
GPIO and other pins. Doesn't have so many cores but 45$ only and it may run
gentoo=) Perfect for scalable OSGi/JEE home cloud.

 I'm trying to find a file or database that keeps track of everything
 I've emerged since I set my system up, preferably in chronological
 order.
 
 Where / how can I obtain this information? I know that portage keeps
 track of it somehow.

You can use qlop --list which in app-portage/portage-utils.

 After the last update when I got Gnome 2.26 Most everything the the main
 application menu was gone.  I right clicked on the main app panel and
 selected Edit Menus and after making a few changes I pressed Revert
 and now Edit Menus doesn't work at all.  The window doesn't even come up.
 
 How can I fix this?  Does anyone know the command line for Edit Menus?

To run Gnome menu editor try

$ alacarte

Also see in ~/.config/menus for menu backups. You can replace current
menu (applications.menu) with older file (applications.menu.undo-*).

And read Gnome 2.26 Upgrade Guide section about menu file-collision:

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] suggest not-net-hungry Linux

 No, no, no!... I was, is and am going to be on Gentoo. Just want to install
 Linux to my friend's PC. I can download installation CD iso (or two), but
 the main problem is, that PC during next few months will have dialup
 connection (33600) only. As a result, I need to choose Linux with minimal
 net traffic in mind (just security updates will be sufficient). There are
 no any special demands (OOo, images and PDF viewer, Firefox, Thunderbird
 and Krusader (or other two panel file manager) will be a sufficient apps
 set for beginning, + booting to level 5).

 Suggestions?

 P.S. You see, there is a little sense to address this question to, say,
 suse or ubuntu or other candidate's community :-) - so, excuse please for
 OT.


 Andrew

I have been using gentoo two years. And I have dialup connection only. My 
desktop - KDE. :)

The secret is: emerge-delta-webrsync for updating portages and deltup for 
sources.

 Hi everybody,
 
 does anybody know what's happening to KDE4 in gentoo land ? Gentoo-KDE folks 
 were pretty responsive with previous 4.0.x releases updating portage tree 
 etc., but now I can't find much updates on what's happening with 4.0.4. Was 
 it 3.5.9 preparations that took priority?
 
 Note: this message is not a nag, it's just my curiosity speaking (well and 
 desire to finally switch to KDE4 as 4.0.3 had some glitches and functionality 
 gaps that prevented my permanent switch so far).
 
I know who knows :)
People from #gentoo-kde at irc.freenode.net can probably answer ur
questions.

Re: [gentoo-user] Script to kill long-running application

Dear,

I'm looking for a script that can kill an application after it has
been running for a 'long' time. I like to measure the start time (as
it offloads work, the CPU time time is not a good estimate). Does
anyone have something useful or some pointers to something I can use
for this?

Preferably the script should monitor the processes that are currently
running.


Assuming by long time you mean wall clock time, I would try this 
approach:


1. start your app from a wrapper script that starts your app then 
creates a file named like /var/run/my-monitor/pid and contains the 
output from 'date' when it was started. 
2. write another script that will read all files in /var/run/my-monitor/ 
and calculate the difference between start time and current time. If it 
passes some threshold, kill the process with the PID of the filename

3. run this second script from cron every minute:
   * * * * * root my-monitor-killer

Also take a look at /etc/security/limits.conf (pam_limit)

Hello all.

CLE266] integrated CastleRock graphics (rev 03)

XVideo doesn't work for me. :(

I use xf86-video-via driver from portage. Xorg starting ok, but mplayer
doesn't play with -vo xv.
A have attached Xorg.log, mplayer output and xvinfo output.

I also tried to use unichrome-0.2.6, and openchrome trunk from
2007-01-20. But there is the same problem.
Can anybody help me?

PS.
I have found the same bug at
