Re: [gentoo-user] Net / dhcp (miss)behaviour
On Saturday 19 January 2008 22:09:50 Marko Kocić wrote: I wonder if my similar problem is related to what you report here: I am using dhcpcd and ifplug with my ADSL router, which acts as the dhcp server on my LAN. For some reason ifplug does not always manage to get an IP address from the router and I end up with an APIPA address. /etc/init.d/net.eth0 stop/start gets it going again. This problem only occurs if I disconnect and then reconnect the ethernet cable. No such problem exists when I boot the machine with the cable already connected to the NIC. I haven't changed timeouts or anything else from the dhcpcd defaults. I have always attributed this problem to a somewhat slow dhcp server on the router. It is similar, with a difference that /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart doesn't help. I tried enlarging timeout but with no help. As a note: WinXP machines do not have any such problem. Even though they may end up with a APIPA address, they will in minute or so drop it and acquire a 10.10.10.XXX domain address from the router. dhcpcpd does not seem to have this flexibility. I noticed that in most cases after I boot to windows, when I reboot back to linux I can't connect. When I reboot back to windows, net is up. When it fails I noticed that it send DHCP requests, but doesn't get a response. I tried dhclient, dhcpd and pump, and the results are allways the same. It happens in the evenings, when internet traffic is high. Windows is not releasing the lease correctly, so the CM ignores request from the same MAC address for a new leasr, workround is to reboot the cm whem you reboot to gentoo.

Re: [gentoo-user] More splash problems

I however have one small problem the bootsplash come up some 1/3 the way through the bootup process. Now I remember seeing somewhere a change to a config file which would change when the bootsplash started. I'd appreciate it if someone would remind me how to do this. Afaik, it's not a change to a config file, it's a change in the way you generate the initramfs. If you compile it into the kernel (instructions on the Wiki; see How-to fbsplash), it will start up at the very start. If you load it as a separate initrd, you have to wait for the framebuffer to initialize before the splash can start (which takes a short while). Naturally, if you change from loading an initrd to compiling the initrd into the kernel, you do have to change a config file (grub.conf, to remove the initrd= line, since you no longer have one), but changing the file alone won't make any difference if you haven't changed the way you create the initrd in the first place. I have two 2.6.12-r9 kernels ATM one which has framebuffer splash on all ttys and the other which only has boot splash. The bootsplash one starts after the udev message and the other one starts after the initial uncompressing kernel message (which IIRC is when the framebuffer starts, for sure its when the console changes to 1024x768 on this box) As far as I know the .config files were the same apart from the fbsplash support. (can't check now as I've been kernel compiling to test some new scsi hardware:-( and forgot to save the old .config ) If this is not very clear, both kernels have framebuffers, one has bootsplash, and the other has bootsplash and pretty pictures on tty1-6. the initrd is the same in both cases, not in the kernel.

Is there a way to view that output after the fact? I didn’t see it in either dmesg or any of the /var/log files… Thanks for the input. Idea #1: if you know the name of the file or files that had an einfo message (if you don't know the names, try looking at the end /var/log/emerge.log to see the packages most recently emerged), just open the ebuild in a text editor and read it at your leisure. Idea #2: In whatever console you use, change the size of the scrollback buffer to something that seems ridiculously high (my buffer is 3 lines). For most emerges -- even in groups of 20 or more-- this should be enough to allow you to scroll back and read any einfo messages that you may have noticed. This won't so much work for emerges that are themselves more than 3 lines (for instance, if I emerge gcc and then glibc, I won't be able to scroll back and see any messages I missed in the gcc emerge once the glibc emerge is an hour or so in, but usually it's good enough).

It's supposed to be MAKEOPTS, not MAKE_OPTS., and make -s means
silent so you might get more clues if you take that out.
I'll try that. Don't remember adding it anyway.
The make_opts is a typo :-) then I had to less make.conf anyway to
check the cflags.
Update on this problem.
Tried Zac's suggestion to get more output from make but it failed in a
different module, same failure 'no target' .
Commented out all the kde apps in my package.keywords in an attempt to
roll back to a complete kde 3.4.1, same collection of make failures.
aARGH.
Rebuilt Gcc (3.4.4) glibc and binutils, success, now back where we
started with a working 3.4.1.
I have now rebuilt libxml, libxml2 and libsxlt with 'debug' set.
Going to try for 3.4.2 later this evening.

I have volunteered ( stupidly) to copy a mac dvd which appears to be nfs+ formated. mkisofs can create HFS imafes. If K3b doesn't have a button for it, you'll have to get your hands dirty and use mkisofs from the command line.
