[gentoo-user] getting rid of raid header
Somehow one of my hard drives got a raid header on it, causing it to start automatically sometimes when not needed. It's on /dev/hda, my main system disk, which is not RAID at all. Running mdadm -E /dev/hda I get: --- phoenix alan # mdadm -E /dev/hda /dev/hda: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : 0feab44f:a7f9e0ef:ef5b4af3:58c56a79 Creation Time : Wed Mar 1 22:20:42 2006 Raid Level : raid1 Used Dev Size : 77900672 (74.29 GiB 79.77 GB) Array Size : 77900672 (74.29 GiB 79.77 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 1 Update Time : Wed Mar 1 22:25:43 2006 State : active Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : 35f4ee48 - correct Events : 0.4 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 0 25320 active sync /dev/mapper/sda1 0 0 25320 active sync /dev/mapper/sda1 1 1 25331 active sync /dev/mapper/sdb1 phoenix alan # --- The other disks in the array (sda and sdb) are two SCSI disks which are currently unused, but have some raid partitions on them (mostly used for playing with other distros). It also looks like my system is confusing /dev/hda and /dev/sda or something? Maybe this is caused by using evms? All I know is when I installed ubuntu on the SCSI disks to play around I found that it wouldn't install properly because after partitioning the disks it had a RAID device already up and running, which turned out to be /dev/hda in a RAID1 with a second device missing. None of the partitions on the disk are marked as type raid-autodetect either. I'm hoping that there's a magic offset that I can dd /dev/zero to to knock the raid header off without nuking my system disk. Thanks.

[gentoo-user] OT: Status of TiLP2?
Hi list, I wanted to know whether it's planned to add TiLP2 to the portage tree any time soon. I read http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109220 and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112985, however the last updates were about 5 months ago. I'm asking because I would like to be able to connect to my TI83+ on Linux and the current version of TiLP in portage - which isn't supported by the author anymore - just produces error messages. Moreso since I've managed to avoid my WinXP partition so far and also because programming on the calculator itself just plain sucks.

Then the site would come up with no error then. After about four tries to get all that Passmark mess correct, I was able to get into the site. I logged out, closed Konqueror, then opened it up again and tried again to access the site. This was cool. I put in my login, then it went straight to the password instead of asking me a dozen questions first. In other words, it worked fine. So, it is not some firewall setting or anything like that. It appears to be Seamonkey. That said, I don't like using Konqueror as a web browser. How do I get Seamonkey to either not ID itself or something so this will work?

RE: [gentoo-user] all digest files missing for portage update after rsync with local server
-Original Message- From: Zac Medico [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem is that portage-2.1.2.2 will automatically exclude the digest files during sync. In order to make the sync compatible with portage-2.0.x, you can override the PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS variable that's defined in /etc/make.globals. You do that by redefining it in /etc/make.conf. Copy the value from make.globals and remove the - --filter=H_**/files/digest-* option. After you've removed that option, the digest files will reappear the next time that you sync. Note that after you upgrade from portage-2.0.x to portage-2.1.x, you need to run `emerge --metadata`. Zac Here it is what I did for the record. On my local rsync server I set PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS in /etc/make.conf as in /etc/make.globals but removed --filter=... Then, still on my local rsync server I did an emerge --sync so the digest files are pulled in. I also did an update of system and world. BTW here are two warnings obtained (ignored for now) --- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: =media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9-p20070325 !!! A file listed in the Manifest could not be found: /usr/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils/files/nfs.confd.old !!! Fetch for /usr/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils/nfs-utils-1.0.12.ebuild failed, continuing... Now on my other boxes I proceeded with an emerge --sync to sync the portage tree with the local rsync server. A new portage version was available, then I issued an emerge portage. At the end of the emerge, the cache was updated on its own. Nevertheless I did do emerge --metadata. Is this the right time to do this? Should the information you sent be included in the rsync documentation? In the handbook http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3chap=2 the section on PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS sets a number of default variables used during sync, each space-separated. These shouldn't be changed unless you know exactly what you're doing. Note that certain absolutely required options will always be used even if PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS is empty does not welcome users to explore rsync.

Re: [gentoo-user] all digest files missing for portage update after rsync with local server

A file listed in the Manifest could not be found: /usr/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils/files/nfs.confd.old http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172231 Now on my other boxes I proceeded with an emerge --sync to sync the portage tree with the local rsync server. A new portage version was available, then I issued an emerge portage. At the end of the emerge, the cache was updated on its own. Nevertheless I did do emerge --metadata. Is this the right time to do this? The cache format changed between portage-2.0.x and portage-2.1.x, so emerge --metadata needs to be run in order to migrate to the new format. Should the information you sent be included in the rsync documentation? Perhaps, but not many people use portage-2.0.x these days. The 2006.1 stages contain portage-2.1.x. In the handbook http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3chap=2 the section on PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS sets a number of default variables used during sync, each space-separated. These shouldn't be changed unless you know exactly what you're doing. Note that certain absolutely required options will always be used even if PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS is empty does not welcome users to explore rsync. Perhaps, but again, not many people use portage-2.0.x these days. They should upgrade to 2.1.x at the first opportunity.

You can remove it if you don't have any more systems running portage-2.0.x to upgrade. Those digest files are redundant now so they only waste space.

RE: [gentoo-user] Seamonkey, Linux and bank websites.
Try emailing your bank? It may be that their website uses some sort of Windows script via MSIE (which I am led to believe allows sites to do stuff with your local machine, I know at work if I open the intranet in MSIE it knows who I am from my NT logon, but in firefox I have to enter username and password) that finds some sort of identifier about your PC. Either way, call your bank or email them and complain. If they value your business they'll maybe at least try to help if they can. PS apologies for the top post, I'm using Outlook at work which for some reason plays silly-buggers with some emails and wont let me write my email under the email I'm replying to. A heineous (sp?) crime I know. -- djn I do not represent anyone else in emails I send to this list. -Original Message- From: Dale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 March 2007 16:23 To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Seamonkey, Linux and bank websites. OK. I downloaded and installed that and it shows up under tools. I selected IE 6 and it is still a no go. It does not store whatever it is that it is trying to store so it knows I am me. I tried this several times. The last time I could not get in at all. It would seem to me that it is a cookie problem since according to that Passmark info, that is what it stores locally. I dunno. Open to more ideas? Could this be some kind of bug maybe? I'm hoping now that I can do my blog in the fancy mode with this. MySpace doesn't like Seamonkey or Konqueror.
