I have just got it fix - after downloading new drivers from nvidia:)
However now after returning to text mode from X I have some sync

I'm still using SCSI emulation support for now, and it works.

Has anyone tried using the new support for CD/RW without SCSI emulation?
 What changes need to be made to devfsd.conf?  Does cdredcord now use

Well a project of this ambition is going to take a while to write anyways.. I 
dont think we should look at release cycles as obstacles standing in the way, 
and instead Do It Right (tm) even if it takes more time.

The best solution seems to me to be what someone already suggested: write

I get it now! The description of depclean was the information I needed. The 
worldfile are only contain the packages are explizit installed. But 
nevertheless, their should be an option to scan the world file recursive.

e.g. There is package called A which have a critical bug and is not listed in 
the world file. Moreover it doesn't belongs to a package in the world file.

This package will never be updated unless you do it explicitly.

If I'am wrong please correct me!

[gentoo-user] Newbie Portage Question

[Jordan Elver]

Hi,
I was wondering how I can handle the merging of ~x86 packages. For example, I 
wanted to install opera 7 which is unstable, so I did:

KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge opera

Which gave the desired result. The problem now though is that everytime I do 
an emerge world it wants to downgrade opera to version 6. How can I tell 
portage that I want to keep ~x86 versions of certain packages? I have the 
same problem with apache (but the other way around) as I want to keep apache1 
but emerge insists on upgrading to 2.

How can get around this?

TIA,
Jordan

Re: [gentoo-user] eth0 problems after installing gentoo 1.4rc4

[Steven Marcotte]

By chance do you have ACPI (the power management stuff) enabled in the kernel?
If you do, you might try turning it off and see what happens.  

When ever I've tried ACPI, it has caused a variety problems ranging from the 
networking problems you describe to system lockups with the nvidia branded 
driver.  I hope these problems will be ironed out with the 2.6 kernel.

Good luck,
Quattro

Hi oom!

I think that on the thread that you are talking about, it was said that
just copying the world file over to the new system doesn't really work.
You have to do something like:

emerge `cat /path/to/the/old/world`

to get every package that you had in your old system.

Right you are - hadn't thought of that.
i.e., he would be able to mount it if it were compiled as a module and installed
at mount time, but the symptoms would be different (i.e. the mount would fail
at boot time if it were done before the module gets installed again..)

After further thinking, I would suggest sending your /usr/src/linux/.config
file. In particular, I'm interested in your IO-APIC and ACPI table stuff
because there is a small chance of that misprogramming the IRQ routing
tables.

If the system delivers the IRQ from the ethernet card to the wrong place
(due to a misprogrammed IRQ routing table) then the driver essentially
never sees a single interrupt and hence, not a single packet.

Judging from the fact that it works fine for both the Gentoo LiveCD boot as
well as the RH 9 HD boot, all three setups using the same driver... the
only thing that differs is the kernel config, so this is quite possible
that you have IO-APIC or ACPI issues causing all this fun.

Can you also post the full dmesg output right after a boot into Gentoo
off the HD?

_And_ also a full dmesg output from a boot into Gentoo off the LiveCD?

(In both cases, you can do: # dmesg > /yourredhat9partition/gentoo.boot-hd
and likewise for gentoo.boot-cd, and also cp /usr/src/linux/.config
/yourredhat9partition/gentoo.config then upload these files for emailing.)

You're welcome to send these directly to me to avoid spamming the list if
you like... if I see anything useful, I can summarize it to the list.

Also, what kind of system is it? (CPU make, model, frequency, and
motherboard make and model. If you know, what chipset is on the motherboard
such as SiS900, etc. This is important.)

Is it an uniprocessor or multiprocessor system?

Something must have gone wrong.  On my system, it is faster when

  well as fvwm2, galeon, and some other stuff).  it's doable, but the
  'emerge -e world' would make things icky, since stuff temporarily
  would break.

  the basic idea was to upgrade in steps, making nice graphs in your
  head with dependencies.  the worst one to catch was gtkmm, which
  required a rebuild of all its dependencies in a certain order --
  which didn't get caught by Portage.  then again, I wouldn't expect
  it to, since things were installed and "working".  :-)

When updating just use emerge with "--upgradeonly" option or "-U" for short. 
Then it won't downgrade.

This is a little bit different. You can first "inject" the newer package with 
"emerge -i " or "emerge inject ". After that portage will 
think that this package is already installed and you can safely install the 
older one. Check 'man emerge' for details.


Hope it helps.

So they would coexist?  It looks like it "thinks" that it will be 
upgrading gconf from version 2.2.0 to 1.0.8-r5 which is clearly a 
downgrade to me.  Similar with gnome-vfs ("upgraded" from 2.2.4 to 
1.0.5-r3).  It would only put a "D" if it "thinks" it's a downgrade.  In 
this case, it "thinks" that going from 2.2.4 to 1.0.5-r3 (for gnome-vfs) 
is an upgrade.  That's the source of my confusion/hesitation.

Besides, what does oxine or xine-ui need ANY gnome stuff or xmms stuff 
for?  Could it be because of my xmms USE flag?  Could that be why it wants 
to muck with my GNOME ebuilds?

Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone else has had bad 
experience with reiserfs. 
 
I started using Gentoo a few months ago, played 
with it until I knew what I was doing (sort of) and what I wanted to install and 
how I wanted it configured. 
 
Then I wiped the system clean and the only thing I 
changed was changing my filesystem from ext3 to reiserfs. It got rather ugly 
after that. The system would freeze randomly, would freeze during emerges 
and during compiles. Tried re-installing and the damn thing froze during 
this on at least five occasions.
 
So, wiped the system clean again, re-installed with 
ext3 as my filesystem and so far all appears well although I am still in the 
middle of finalizing my installation.
 
Just curious as I really didn't think that changing 
the filesystem would have such terrible effects on my system. Wouldn't mind some 
theories as to what went wrong.

I have the same problem with 2.5 / 2.6-test kernels with my 7500
mobility.  In my case the framebuffer does not autodetect correctly (I
get a very distorted display), and only lower resolutions work
properly if I hand-pick them.  The 2.4 series framebuffer works like a
charm without any kernel arguments!  I did try to follow the
differences in the radeon framebuffer code, but a whole bunch of
settings and defaults have changed, and I lost my way.

Anybody know more about this?  I feel I didn't get enough concrete
debug info to report it to the appropriate list.

One potential problem.  If you did not have USE='CUPS' in effect when
you emerge ghostscript, you have the wrong ghostscript support.  It's
worth a try to issue 'USE="CUPS" emerge ghostscript'.

qmerge is a step in the merging process.

snippet from the man pages : 

qmerge This  function  installs all the files in the install directory
to the live filesystem. The process works as follows: first, the
pkg_preinst() function (if specified) is run.
Then, the files are merged into the live filesystem, and the installed
files' md5 digests are recorded in
/var/db/pkg/${CATEOGRY}/${PN}-[version-rev]/CONTENTS.  After all the
files have been merged, the pkg_postinst() function (if specified) is
executed.

merge  Normally, to merge an ebuild, you need to fetch, unpack, compile,
install and qmerge.  If you're simply interested in merging the ebuild,
you can use this command, which will
perform all these steps for you, stopping along the way if a particular
step doesn't complete successfully.

So you can use either merge or qmerge ... in this instance qmerge would probably be 
better but both should work fine :)

Why don't you try openbox as WM? It's forked from blackbox like fluxbox,
but is IMHO much better than these two. It doesn't have the tabs from
fluxbox, but is standards compliant and has some other neat stuff. The
focus problem you have doesn't occure with openbox, I just tried. I'd
recommend openbox-2.3.1 which is masked ~x86, but works fantastic here.

You have 3 or 4 cpus?

or your not using the recommended values?

Anyway the build finished with -O2 I am wondering if for some reason it
just dose not build the first 2 time.

I am trying CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe" and see if that works and
if it does I will try
CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe  -fomit-frame-pointer" and scratch my
head if it works. :)

You say you are using the nvidia drivers, so you should have the 
following in /etc/X11/XF86Config:

Section "Module"
Load"glx"
EndSection

If you don't, I would guess that would provoke that message.

My laptop ALSA sound works with Linux 2.6 but my volume levels

That is interesting...  I have an Asus L3800S, with a Radeon mobility
7500.  I have tried a few 2.5 kernels, and the 2.6-test1 kernel, but
to no avail.  Autodetection gives a totally warped and unreadable text
screen, and all 1400x1050 parameter settings I could think of (playing
with color depth and refresh rate) did not work either.  Some of the
1280x1024 modes did work.
hmm

What laptop/LCD/Radeon do you have?
I figure i'd throw myself back in the thread:

-Gateway 450x (or "450rog" or something, as their support site lists 
the 450 as being a pentium 4 machine, which mine isnt).
-Radeon mobility 7500 w/ 32MB dedicated video ram
-1400x1050 lcd (seems we all have the same res)

I havent tried lower modes yet.

my only problem with reiserfs was, when last month a thunder stroke into a 
tree nearby, destroyed a hard drive mobile rack and two of the 3 reisefs 
partitions of the built in harddisk.

I was lucky, one was a spare partition, the other one /usr/portage.

But I had no software-problems related to reiserfs EVER. 

I had two dying harddisks, but even the ext2/swap partitions didn't survive 
that, so why should reiserfs.

Consider restoring it to the original settings and rebuild it.

ICE is generally either a bug in the optimizations of the -gcc- (which
is stripped away from optimizations since its known to break with them
anyhow. Gcc is sensitive for them) 

-or-

Hardware malfunction thats not redily reproduceable. This may include
stressing the CPU a bit more than its used to, ram that looses bits at
some places and parts of load, overheating in the summer warmth ;-(  and
other obscure things that you never really think about.

(I've had a mobo which timed out some transmits during sustained high
bus load, as in extreme RAM read/write actions. Which lead to silent
drops and then errors. un.fun.)

Take a look at /etc/security/console.perms 

On login and logout file ownership is set according to the specification
in that file. 

If you want other perms that the given ones, I make the changes in the

Hi!
  I have just installed Gentoo on my Dell inspiron 2650 laptop. Everything 
is fine but i have a problem with xserver...:
(I have GeForce 2)
1) When i start X with "nv" driver i starts ok but I can not close it... - 
it is still running after exit (from tvm) and when i try to kill it it 
hangs.
2) When I'm using nvidia driver it hangs after starting (before showing

Any suggestions?

I notice that  when it boots there is a message about "can't calculate

Howver, if I do something like emerge qt (which I need to update) I get the

My setup is a little different from yours.  I'm not an XFree guru, so
I can't say for sure whether or not the differnce is important, but if
nothing else it's worth a shot.

The ModeLine doesn't appear in my "Monitor" section of in my
XF86Config.  Instead, they're set up in the "Screen" section, as
follows:

Section "Screen"
...
DefaultDepth 16
...
SubSection "Display"
Depth   16
Modes   "1024x768" ...
ViewPort0 0
EndSubsection
...
EndSection

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to specify the refresh rate.  I just
told XF86Config the legal ranges for HorizSync and VertRefresh on my
monitor, and was happy enough with the results to not bother further.

However, I'm sure someone in this list can fill in that particular blank.

Well, you can make a script and put it, for example, under /etc/cron.weekly . 
Here is an example copied directly from the 'find' info page:

# cut here 
   Removing old files from `/tmp' is commonly done from `cron':

 find /tmp /var/tmp -not -type d -mtime +3 -print0 |
   xargs --null --no-run-if-empty rm -f

 find /tmp /var/tmp -depth -mindepth 1 -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;

   The second `find' command above uses `-depth' so it cleans out empty
directories depth-first, hoping that the parents become empty and can
be removed too.  It uses `-mindepth' to avoid removing `/tmp' itself if
it becomes totally empty.
# cut here 

You could change the lines to remove the files from /var/log/portage instead 
of /tmp and put them under cron. .

For compression you can use something like this:
find /var/log/portage/ -type f -name *.log -exec bzip2 -9q '{}' ';'

If you put it in file under cron.daily your portage log files will be 
compressed once every day (if they are not compressed yet).

These too scripts would probably do what you want: compress the logs and 
remove the old ones.


Cheers,
Renat


P.S. I don't have these scripts in my cron, just created them while writing 
this, but I just compressed my /var/log/portage with bzip and the size went 
down from 83MB to 3MB (with gzip 4MB). Those logs are mostly pretty small, 
there were only few big ones like 17MB for openoffice, 10MB for glibs, etc.

The program is called "gkrellm2" or "gkrellmd" (notice the '2', 'd' and no 
capital letters). You can use autocompletion in the terminal window - just 
type "gkr" and hit Tab, if it beeps hit Tab again for a list of possible 
completions. I don't know about gnome but gkrellm was not in the menu in KDE 
so I made an entry myself.


Hope that helps.

It sounds like the device is recognized as a mass storage device, but
perhaps you are missing a low level driver ?  If this is the same kernel
version you used under ark linux .. then I would
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
..look in the usb section and investigate the low level devices enabled

Two hosts, each of them on CPU.

> or your not using the recommended values?

The "recommended values" differ:

man make.conf: CPUs+1 up to 2*CPUs+1 (-j3 up to -j5)
man make:  
distcc FAQ:2*CPUs (-j4)
current Gentoo distcc maintainer: CPUs+1 (-j3)
former Gentoo distcc maintainer: 2*CPUs+1 (each host!) (-j6)

So I set up MAKEOPTS="5" and 'DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost/3
$REMOTE_HOST/2"' which was fine until "cross-compiling" - meaning each
of my hosts was compiling at the same time and using the other as a
distcc host with the same MAKEOPTS/DISTCC_HOSTS setting.

Have you tried unmerging and then emerging vim again. The help file should
get installed. I tried on my box :help does give me a help file. I know this
probably doesn't solve your problem, but see if removing it and
reinstalling it helps. Sorry I can't give you more. Someone will know. :-)

I'm sure I've got one box (not here, so I can't check) without gpm & one box
with. On the box *without*, console mouse works better than it does on the
one *with* gpm, particularly when I'm shelled in.

As I recall, on the box _with_ gpm, I can't use the mouse _at all_ when I'm
shelled in from another machine. If anyone could explain this, or why my
memory must be fooling me, I would be much indebted.

crappy screen with some green symbols on it, but cannot read anything. when my pc 
starts it is all okay, but when i start x and switch back / kill x, its that crappy. i

 I personnally get to save
  - /etc
  - my /usr/local/* things
  - /boot (kernel configs + grub config)
  - /root
  - my $HOME dir
  - /var (i have space, but especially /var/cache/edb/world)
  - and some /data dirs i have

 with a very simple script that make entire backups for previous directory 
(tar+bz2).

 And of course an entire backup sometimes.

 This strategy has been tested (many times ...) and proved to work for me 
(it's simple, and simple is good), so i stick to it for now (i know, it takes 
*a lot* of disk space for backups, but it works ... it freaking works, and 
this has always been important when i was restoring something :) ).

 I'm just looking sometimes for taped backup but i cannot afford them at home 
...

 And i use only another box with hard drive / enough space ... and maybe 
that's the point ... + just plain cdrs for static data.

PS: please forgive my bad english :)

Re: [gentoo-user] usb mass storage

[David H. Askew]

It sounds like the device is recognized as a mass storage device, but
perhaps you are missing a low level driver ?  If this is the same kernel
version you used under ark linux .. then I would

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
..look in the usb section and investigate the low level devices enabled
under mass storage..

hope this helps

faster?
ok, after an app run 30 secs, it starts to speed up, but try to move a 
xawtv/xawdecode window around directly after the start. Or Xine, or xmms.
It is jerky at its best, it is horrible, sound in ut2003-demo is totally 
screwed, FPS are lower AND kmail needs more than triple the time to close, 
than with a 2.4 kernel.

So, I am not happy with 2.6.
It is slower (boot is faster, but I do not boot hourly), movements of fresh 
started are jerky and I get an devfsd-oops everytime X starts.
Oh, and thousands of non-fatal mce errors after some hours...

Hello Gentoo users,
I have a Sony DSC-U20 (digital still camera) that works as mass storage.
In another distro (ark linux) just loading sd_mod and usb-storage and then 
pluging the camer was enough to get /dev/sda0 and mounting it allowed me to 
get the files.
But when I plug it in Gentoo I get:

Any idea ?

[gentoo-user] df and fdisk differ on partition size ???

[Eric Livingston]

I'm using a Promise TX4 RAID card to create a four-disk array, made up of
two pairs of striped, mirrored 60G drives. In other words, I take two 60G
drives and stripe them together into a 120G partition for performance, then
mirror that striped pair with another identical to it for data integrity.

Anyway, fdisk correctly shows that the RAID disk has 120G available on it
(the sum of the two striped 60G discs), and that almost all of it is
partitioned into a root partition with a little left over for swap and boot.

However, df reports that the root partition only has 60G on it. It seems
like fdisk is correctly querying the pdcraid module and communicating with
the card to discover the striped 120G virtual disk, while df seems to be
physically querying one of the physical drives in the array and learning
it's only 60G in size.

I don't really care what df thinks if I've really got the full 120G that
fdisk and I think I have.

So, the key question is: am I going to run out of room at 60G or 120G? How
can I find this out (without trying it, which I'd like to avoid having to
do...). Is there some other utility that can tell me how much actual,
physical storage I have on the disk?

Thanks,
Eric

[gentoo-user] how to "unpack" SFV files/archives

[Matthias F. Brandstetter]

Hi all,

I have a SFV file, which I want to unpack. But since SFV is only for 
validating (at least, it seems so to me) I have no idea how I can 
extract the data inside this file.

I run it through "bsdsfv", which told me that all is ok with the file. 
Good, and now? I am somewhat lost here, maybe I am googling with the 
wrong keywords? Don't know, hopefully someone here can help me...

Hi,
Out of interest what video drivers are you using?? If you are using the 
nvidia driver and a frame buffer for the kernel boot up then this is a known 
problem (its in the nvidia readme's). It is caused as two kernel drivers both 
want the same hardware I think. 
If your not using the nvidia driver let us know what drivers you are using and 
if your using framebuffers, AGPGART etc and what GPU you have and perhaps I 
can be more help :)

We're almost there. Three questions now. What exactly did we do here. If

why does this require setting con0 as we did? Finally, I'm still not

[gentoo-user] Procmail files being skipped?

[Angel Gabriel]

I have a feeleing that my ~/.procmailrc files are being skipped, it
seems that email being delivered via fetchmail, is not following the
rules in these files. Is there anyway, to force fetchmail to send all
mail it collects to procmail?

I use postfix as my MTA

RE: [gentoo-user] Normal applications under OpenMosix?

[Jeffrey Smelser]

You have not run it in a long time and it has changed considerably since then. I ran a 
3 cluster system and things migrate constantly.. If one fails, just that one cluster 
fails and possibly any processes it has.. (no system can stop that). Its got a lot of 
updates for normal home users.. I love it since I don't have just one machine doing 
all the work. I have not had any problems using it..

What's nice is that any application you run, can be migrated. It doesn't matter what 
you run.. you can also tell it to run things on nodes.. Just about anything.

Thanks,
Jeff

OM seems to be of use in an environment where its power is needed - not
a home system.  short lived threads such as gcc rarely migrate, and when
a thread or system dies, often every system in the cluster falls over as
well.  ssh often migrated for some reason, and then died.  The best way
to parrallelise a home system is distcc, other than that, grids and job
sharing get very complex.

That is not to say OM useless, but that it is best used for what it is
designed for - and it does that very well.

Last ran it 6 months ago on a 3 system cluster.

Have a peek in /etc/inittab.

Start it with

  con=pts con0=fd:0,fd:1

and I think you get rid of them. You must disabled the ttys in the
inittab of the image of the uml box.

im using imps/2...and i have no idea either why opening the file solve the problem but 
it does...another thing
i've notice is that if my wheel start going crazy, if i kill X, my keypad stops 
working and bang, im good for a
hard reboot with the power button :(
as for the second entry for the mouse, do you mean in /dev?
if yes, no i didnt...(im gonna try)
M.B
 

No, I mean a second entry in the XF86Config like:
...
Section "ServerLayout"
   InputDevice"Mouse0" "CorePointer"
   InputDevice"Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
   Option  "SendCoreEvents" "true"
...
End Section
...

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Mouse0"
   Driver  "mouse"
   Option  "Device""/dev/mouse1"
   Option  "Protocol"  "PS/2"
   Option  "Emulate3Buttons"   "yes"
   Option  "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier  "Mouse1"
   Driver  "mouse"
   Option  "Device" "/dev/mouse"
   Option  "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
   Option  "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
   Option  "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
After I added this stuff the touchpad and the mouse worked fine. I think 
the problem was that the touchpad had no wheel and such was not doing 
well with the IMPS/2 protokoll.
You could also try to deactivate the touchpad for testing and check if 
the problem goes away.
