[gentoo-ppc-user] DVD Playback in Gentoo?
I am new to gentoo so first, let me say I am lovin it. However I am also new to a source distribution, so I may need a little leeway with the questions I ask. I have used now 3 different distributions, ubuntu, debian, and now gentoo, and in all of them the same thing has happened, whenever I try to play a dvd my screen gets a yellowish tint, my teminals that may be open get distoted colors, (usually red) for the text in them, and it won't play. Has anyone gotten this to work? I have tried totem and xine in gentoo and ubuntu, and the same happens. And one more thing. I emerged totem, and that complained about needing the xine backend, so then I emerged xine and re-emerged totem, and it said it was using the xine backend, but at the end of the emerge it still said that the default backend had been changed to gstreamer, do I need to emerge something else? --Mike S -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] backup restore solution?
Jarry wrote: Hi, I am now looking for some sort of backup restore solution which would help me to get my gentoo-server up and running after fatal disk failure. I want to burn at regular intervals compressed partition images of disk on internal dvd/rw/ram (4.5 GB should be enough for archiving the whole disk, without /home partition). Well, tar and cpio are good choices because they are available on the Gentoo live CD. If you chose another program, you will just need to make sure that you have a static binary of it available at recovery time (copying this to your recovery media is the best choice). I am currently using 'dar' to backup to external USB hard disk. Dar is also useful for backing up to DVD media though, because it has good support for creating archive 'slices' that will fit nicely on a DVD, just in case you decide to backup /home as well. It is in portage, but if you are interested, check out http://dar.linux.free.fr/ For 'quick-and-easy' restoring, I'm not aware of anything that really automates the process. But generally the steps are: 1. fdisk 2. mkfs 3. mount 4. restore files 5. chroot 6. install boot loader 7. reboot The difficulty in restoring the files will really depend upon how you make your backups (always full, incrementals, differentials, etc). A full backup would always be the easiest, as you only need a single piece/set of media and one command to do the restore. The rest of the steps are pretty much exactly the same as for when you installed Gentoo, so there shouldn't be any real surprises there. One last thing, if you've only got a single CD/DVD drive, you are probably going to have an issue to have both the live CD and the backup media available, since you can't really eject the live CD to insert your backup disk. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Not impossible, just more difficult. Well, no. It IS impossible. You need to create a new crypted device. advice Also, echoing your password on a command line to cryptsetup is an extremely bad idea.

[gentoo-user] Problem with doing a system restore

That worked well and up until I had to chroot in and take care of the grub setup. I keep getting glibc errors with symbol erron when I try to run env-update, ls or emerge commands. When I run grub root (hd0,0) it says no such drive or device. My /dev/ folder in the chrooted environment is empty. The system is a 2.6 kernel with 2.6 headers.

This is because grub embeds the stage1.5 loader after the mbr (first block) and the start of the first partition. If you are not using the stage 1.5, or you are using lilo, then you have little choice but to reinstall the boot loader. This is because some files in /boot are block mapped into the mbr, and the restore process may have changed the layout of these files, so the block map will be incorrect.

[gentoo-user] Hints for using Unison?
Hi, I'm wondering if Unison is a good tool for helping me make sure the two copies of our music library are consistent? Local: /dev/sda1 mounted at /home/mark/music Remote: dragonfly:/Musiclib NFS mounted at /mnt/Musiclib These two directories started off identical at one point about 4-6 months ago but have been slowly diverging as my wife and I add things to each one. I'd now like them the get back into sync and keep them that way. One possibly tricky part about this will be that in some cases we have found bad rips and have reripped files to fix that. In this case there is going to be a newer file in each either location with the same name but with a new size date. Will Unison give me an option to just accept the newer one in each location and remove or backup the older one automatically? This is likely to be a sort of long process I expect. The directories are about 50GB of ogg files, although I hope there isn't that much copying as probably 99% of it is identical. Thanks in advance, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

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

Hi Neil, OK, so I tried Unison and, twice, it just gets stuck at the same file. I'm running it like this: unison /home/mark/music /mnt/Musiclib The gui comes up and the program gets started but then it just hangs. There's no obvious network activity or local disk activity. If I let the program sit long enough for the screensaver to kick in then when I unlock the screen the program is just a grey box. So far I cannot even kill the thing. kill -9 pid or killall -9 unison act like they killed it but ps aux says the process is still there. It's even there if I try killing the gui in Gnome. The gui goes away but the process persists. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
