[gentoo-user] Ethernet card not working, tried tulip drivers...
Hi! I just followed the (excellent, easily understandable) gentoo installation handbook up to chapter 10, where it says to reboot. I did so, but I had the same problem as the user here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/networking-eth0-does-not-exist-gentoo-349330/ As suggested in there, I have recompiled the kernel with the tulip drivers (everything under the tulip subtree in make menuconfig), copied it to /boot, and booted it, but it still gives the same message. I have verified that I am booting the newly compiled kernel with the tulip drivers, but it still doesn't work. Note that I do not have the same ethernet card as is mentioned in the link above, and have not been able to find out exactly what it's name is, besides the fact that the name includes Tornado. Also note that it worked fine in the Gentoo minimal installation cd. To sum it up: How do I figure out what the name of my card is, and after that, what driver do I need? Thanks in advance! Marcus

Select the option 3COM cards, and then the 3c590/3c900 series... with an 'M'. Assuming that you already configured and installed a kernel, so that /usr/src/linux matches your running kernel, you should be able to just do make make modules_install to get the new driver. You can then try loading it with modprobe 3c59x. If you get no errors from that command, then you should get connected automatically within a few seconds. If all goes well, it should work fine even after a reboot. If you get errors, well you may have some more work to do to configure and install a new kernel. This is my first attempt with gentoo and kernel compilation so I'm not very knowledgable about modules. I just followed the steps in the x86 installation handbook. Except for the network, everything else (cdrom, floppy) seems to work.

Typical tools used to probe devices and read the details of them are: lshw hwconf To read your PCI connected devices you need: lspci -v If you have the correct drivers for your NIC then it will show up when you run: ifconfig -a although it may not have an IP address unless dhcpcd is running. If these commands are not on your current LiveCD, burn a Knoppix CD/DVD or SystemRescueCd or equivalent. They have all these commands available and if your NIC is working they would have most likely loaded the necessary module: lsmod will show the loaded modules. Finally, dmesg | grep eth0 (if e.g. eth0 shows up in ifconfig) will show you what you card is recognised as: $ dmesg | grep -i eth0 e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0x4010, irq 11, MAC addr 00:02:a5:b6:a1:8f e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex If as you say the Minimal CD works, then I recommend that you boot with that and run the above commands making notes what is the NIC module the CD kernel has loaded.

Could it be that one of the other packages is still using py2.7 and it needs to be disabled for them as well? I would think emerge would catch that and tell you that is what it needs but maybe not. It may not even be something you can toggle with a USE flag for some reason. That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

This is confusing me.
At some point, you had docutils, ipython, and m2r built without docutils having
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7", and there is no requirement in the ebuild of ipython
to mandate that. m2r requires `dev-python/docutils[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]`, however I
doubt that PYTHON_USEDEP would expand to a hard requirement on python2_7.
In fact, every single package from your original message---quoted below for
convenience---supports versions greater than 2.7.

Just to be explicit, try updating @world with `USE="-python_targets_python2_7
python_targets_python3_6" `. I assume that the currently
installed version of ipython also has the [smp] USE-flag ?

RE: [gentoo-user] Admin system documentation
I just can't get my head around why you would want or need to do a total rebuild. I myself can't imagine _wanting_ to do a rebuild, but needing to, yes. Flood, tornado, theft, etc . Users have work to do. Let's see, what's my SAMBA configuration? And those SQL databases looked like what? How quickly could you bring a system with many users back online _and_ functional? If you are in a position of being responsible for thoses entities, you had better have your ass covered. That's what I'm trying to do. If your only method of getting a production system back online is by doing a full rebuild, then you are royally screwed. Most linux systems (especially gentoo-based) are in a constant state of flux. Users get added and removed, emerge updates packages and config files, databases have rows added/removed, etc. Your primary disaster recovery tool is the system backup. That will be the only way to get your system back to the state it was in before the failure occurred. Planning to rebuild from scratch rather than restore from backup ensures that a) you're going to need a huge window of time to get the system back to a functional state, b) you're going to need another huge window of time to get all of your configuration back in line with the current setup, and c) your data from databases will be basically lost (recreating tables is just the start of trying to bring it back online). So forget the 'rebuild' idea, it won't work and will be prone to failure. Instead focus on the appropriate tool to build system backups. Test your backup procedures and restoration procedures earnestly to ensure that what you plan to do for disaster recovery really will work. If you can get to a static system state (i.e. you stop emerging packages/updates), you could get away with a full system backup performed once followed by incremental backups from /etc, /var, and /home. And don't forget to take copies of the backup'd media offsite to another location; that way if the building goes under (with your system in it) you'll be able to get another system online based off of the offsite media.

Select the option 3COM cards, and then the 3c590/3c900 series... with an 'M'. Assuming that you already configured and installed a kernel, so that /usr/src/linux matches your running kernel, you should be able to just do make make modules_install to get the new driver. You can then try loading it with modprobe 3c59x. If you get no errors from that command, then you should get connected automatically within a few seconds. If all goes well, it should work fine even after a reboot. If you get errors, well you may have some more work to do to configure and install a new kernel. This is my first attempt with gentoo and kernel compilation so I'm not very knowledgable about modules. I just followed the steps in the x86 installation handbook. Except for the network, everything else (cdrom, floppy) seems to work. I've been somewhat terse about the steps required, assuming you have some basic knowledge of how to configure and install a new kernel. The gentoo handbook can help here, but if you still have questions or something doesn't make sense, feel free to ask for some more help. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Maybe he already have the driver compiled as a module but its not loading it?!

My new glasses should be in within the next week or so. In the first instance, it wants py2.7 disabled. So he adds it to the config file to disable it. When he runs the command again, it wants to enable py2.7 for the same package and version. If I'm reading that right, even if he lets emerge add the change, it will lead to two problems. One, there will be one line enabling py2.7 and another line disabling it. If I recall correctly, emerge will take the last one. Two, he will be back to the first problem, it wanting py2.7 disabled. In other words, back where he started. Am I reading that wrong or something?? Dale :-) :-)

When I try to manually ifconfig eth0 addr broadcast netmask up, I get a message of no such device. So, I must have foobarred another incantation along the way. It was working fine in the chroot environment an hour or so ago, so I suspect something in the last stages of the install. What are the sort of things I can do to diagnose this sort of problem. Mostly, I am questing for knowledge right now. Charles lspci to understand what hardware lsmod to understand what modules are loaded modprobe foo to get a module loaded to support the adapter vi /etc/conf.d/net to look at what the system is trying to do with the hardware when the scripts are run post some more info back (if you can) and then folks will help you take the next step. Good luck, Mark Under the liveCD, the network interface is working fine and I was able to emerge kde, albeit with an error at the end with a version mismatch between libtool.m4 (1.5.10) and litmain (1.5), but thats the story after this one. lspci shows the 3com 3c905C Tornado card. lsmod (under liveCD) shows 3c95x is the driver used. In rebooting to the *real* partition, I can see that while init is running there is an error: Bringing eth0 up via DHCP ERROR: Problem starting needed services netmount was not started. I can do a modprobe 3c95x and lsmod shows it is loaded. I can then do an ifconfig eth0 up and the interface is up (ping www.yahoo.com works). The file /etc/conf.d/net has two uncommented lines: iface_eth0=dhcp gateway=eth0/10.10.10.1 I am suspecting that the netmount is the source of my confusion. Since modprobe 3c59x allows the interface to then work just fine, there may be a needed alias to tell the init script the PCI card for the ethernet interface is a 3Com. If I recall, in some other distributions, there is an alias file for modules and perhaps Gentoo is a little different then my previous understanding. Charles p.s Why would emerge vi say no ebuilds. I have nano, but not vi yet. p.p.s. After this step, the emerge kde tells me that libtool.m4 has the wrong version and I need to run libtoolize --copy --force. I run that, and get the error configure.ac does nto exist, run libtoolize --help. Invoking libtoolize --help tells me I need to run it from the toplevel directory, which I assume to be where the source for libtool.m4 would be. Where would the default location for libtool be so I could run libtoolize properly, or should I emerge something_else, or emerge the_same_thing_again p.p.p.s Thanks for the help. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I watched a video a bit ago and although it was a small thing, only took about 20% of my screen, it used just about all the CPU power. It didn't do that a few months or so ago. It used to take only 25% or so to do a full screen video. This is really weird. I did take the side off my case a hour or so ago. I took my air tank and blew it out pretty good. I also checked to make sure the fan was turning on the video card chip. It was spinning fine and I could feel a little bit of air. It's a small fan so I wasn't expecting a tornado or anything. Anyway, after blowing it out AND generating a xorg-conf with nvidia's program, I get this: r...@smoker / # glxgears Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 2932 frames in 5.0 seconds = 586.390 FPS 1260 frames in 5.7 seconds = 222.873 FPS 2 frames in 7.6 seconds = 0.263 FPS 2 frames in 8.0 seconds = 0.249 FPS 2 frames in 7.6 seconds = 0.264 FPS 2 frames in 7.7 seconds = 0.259 FPS XIO: fatal IO error 22 (Invalid argument) on X server :0.0 after 58 requests (58 known processed) with 0 events remaining. r...@smoker / # Well, if it wasn't bad enough before, it is really bad now. The first couple were when the window was really small. I adjusted it to full screen which is where the 0.2 FPS comes in. That used to be about 30 or so a while back. This is with the nvidia generated xorg.conf file. I'm going back to my hand made one. It seems to be a little better. Any ideas as to why everything says it is working but it isn't? Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] Re: [gentoo-security] AMD64 + Hard Drive weirdness...
Moving my thread over to the proper list... first... Now then - thanks to everyone on the list for your help. I've had barely any sleep lately, so I must apologize first, for putting the original thread onto the security mailing list by mistake. For anyone who's wondering - I have an AMD64 box, with a new Gentoo AMD64 install. The hard drive read times are obnoxiously slow - so, I'm going to attribute this to the wrong driver being loaded for the controller. See here: hdparm -tT /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing cached reads: 3016 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1507.91 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads:4 MB in 3.68 seconds = 1.09 MB/sec Horribly slow! This machine should be blazing fast, with the 7200 rpm 200 GB hard drive, AMD64 3500+ processor, 1.5 MB RAM, and very modern motherboard to compliment. So, in the meantime, I'm trying to track down the culprit that's making my drive run so slow.

Robert Larson wrote: Hello Jeff, I've had 3 machines exhibit this kind of behaviour in the last few months. On the first machine, it was an intermitten IDE controller failure (probably related to heat and expansion of motherboard compoenents). I was able to bypass it by installing a PCI SATA controller. The way that I was able to figure this out was by running knoppix on it (I tried windows too, just in case). When running knoppix (and, that OTHER os), the problems still occured. The second and third machines were having problems because the wrong drivers were loaded for the motherboard IDE controller. On the first of these machines, I ran knoppix and it correctly loaded the drivers (I used lsmod to find them ;-). On the second of these machines, it was a production machine, and it took a lot of time because I couldn't just bring it down. I was getting operation not permitted when trying to enable DMA. Eventually, I had performed lspci, and saw the controller
Re: [gentoo-user] bad jack(?) performance
On Thu, Oct 13, 2005 at 05:06:22AM -0700, Mark Knecht wrote: The first one is easy. Try some different Jack settings. Instead of 128/2 try 64/4, or 128/3, etc., and see if some other setting works. You might get the same latency, or you might have to go a bit slower. The only time I actually use low latency is when recording. It's never needed for playback only. Most of the time I run 512/2 just to ensure no xruns causing clicks in my work. I haven't had a chance to try that yet, but still I wonder: why should I have to tweak jack's settings, if 128/2 worked fine for root? On my 32-bit machines I've always been able to run Jack the standard Gentoo-sources kernel and get good realtime results. I have had to be careful about what options I choose, and on a couple of machines different kernel options have caused xruns (such as networking) but I've always managed to get it to work and work well. Sometimes it has taken some time, but it has worked. Maybe we need to look at how you are configuring the kernel. Possibly send your config file off list or I'll send you one of mine. Ehhh, that scares me a bit (the thought that random kernel options can affect Jack performance)! My kernel config is fairly custom, as I went through each option one-by-one and (at least tried to) set it most appropriately for my hardware. But I'm still hung up on the fact that things work as expected as root, but automatically get nice'ed as a regular user. and I would have to manage updates on our own. That said, this is the way most people interested in good realtime performance have gone. Maybe I've just been excessively lucky up until now. And at this point I'm not too interested in that good of realtime performance, though I will in the future (see below). It's probably worth it to review how you've set up realtime-lsm one more time, just in case, and possibly to look at your hardware setup a bit. I agree, as I alluded to above, I'm thinking it might be a permissions/setup issue. lspci :00:00.0 Host bridge: nVidia Corporation nForce2 AGP (different version?)

In a way, it isn't. In the case of a house fire or some major disaster, tornado for example, you could lose the whole puter. In that case, backups need to be somewhere else outside the danger area. RAID can play a part in a lot of situations but it isn't a cure all either. Even if I had RAID, I'd still want a backup somewhere. I should use a backup program, snapshot or something here. I'm not real sure why I don't other than spending time to figure out how to do it. It's likely easy enough but still . . . Dale :-) :-)
[gentoo-user] Dumb `lspci -F` question...
Reading the lspci manpage I can across an interesting potentially useful flag: -F file Extract all information from given file containing output of lspci -x. This is very useful for analysis of user-supplied bug reports, because you can display the hardware configuration in any way you want without disturbing the user with requests for more dumps. Can anyone explain to me how to use this, please? Try as I might I don't seem to be getting it right. I would have thought that the correct way to handle this would be: $ lspci -x foo.txt But the results I get are not helpful: $ lspci -F foo.txt $ lspci -F foo.txt -vv $ lspci -F foo.txt -vvv $ lspci -F foo.txt -vt -[00]- $ lspci -F foo.txt -t -[00]- I have tried this on a couple of machines. The output produced by `lspci -x` _looks_ reasonable - I've attached foo.txt.

See attached config files. If you view them using a command such as: colordiff -y kernel.config.sys_rescue_cd-1.6.4 kernel.config.current | less then you'll see they're nearly identical. I have been criticised in the past for being so lazy as to just use systemrescuecd's kernel config, rather than spending the time to make my own, but it's never given me any problems in the past and I don't see how it could have caused this. I'm really stumped, as everything else seems to work fine. The only things I've done is to recompile my kernel a couple of times - once to add in the drivers statically (CONFIG_PCMCIA_3C589=y), instead of as modules, to see if that would make a difference, and second time to match another PCMCIA option that differed. Neither made any difference. The two kernels are slightly different versions, but I wouldn't have expected that to make any difference. The only thing I can think is that I'm overlooking something really stupid. I'd be very grateful for any advice. What do you get in log messages and dmesg when you compile CONFIG_PCMCIA_3C589=m and run modprobe -v -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
