Hi, As your error shows, the problem is wget is broken so you cannot download anything using wget. If you can use another tool to FTP the wget archive to /usr/portage/distfiles, or copy it from another machine, then you should be able to rebuild wget and proceed with emerging everything else. I ran into the same problem on my laptop a while back. There were lots of people who got bit by this, if you do some searching on this list or on the forums, or this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234907 you can get additional info that might help you some more. Good luck! :) Paul
[gentoo-user] unmerge boo_boo
Well, I've done it now, being in too big of a hurry. After an emerge --sync, and the blocking packages, I got in a hurry, did not think and ran: emerge --unmerge sys-libs/ss sys-libs/com_err sys-fs/e2fsprogs sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs So now I cannot emerge anything to fix this.

[gentoo-user] alsa in-kernel vs. alsa-lib
Hi all, i was used to intall alsa-lib and co. and use tools like alsamixer to manage the audio on my gentoo; now i've tryied to switch to the in-kernel way. I've built the relevant part into the kernel, no module, but now i'm stuck. If i try to emerge alsa-utils (wich has alsamixer) it pulls in also alsa-lib, alsa-header, etc... is this the correct behaviour? i tought i'll get rid of those packages(-header, -lib) switching to the in-kernel drivers.

Re: [gentoo-user] blocks to fix
That might work for some scenerios; however, it wouldn't likely for the recent e2fsprogs-lib/ss/com_err fiasco because the booting system would be unable to execute mount and wait until the user either entered the root password for maintenance mode or pressed "CTRL+D" to continue. (Yep, I hosed one of my systems over that issue!) So the system would not be either in a kernel panic nor able to run /etc/conf.d/local.start. So it wouldn't reboot without user intervention. In most cases that would likely work though.

(or an error if you are smart enough to > compile with -Werror) It seems you did not get the point. To attribute a floating point number to an integer variable is perfectly valid, depending on the specific program. The compiler normally does not even warn about this, as this is perfectly valid (from my testing, the compiler only warns if you are using gcc 4.3, and specify -Wconversion, an option that is not included in -Wall and not even in -Wextra). So erase this *wrong idea* that attributing floating-point value to an integer variable is invalid or even just unwise. There is nothing generally wrong with it. The point is: in certain situations, the behavior is well-defined and unsurprising. What happens, though, if (for example) the value of the floating-point variable is too big for the int? In a forgiving language, you would either have a sensible behavior (such as the int receiving a INT_MAX value) or an error. In C the behavior is *undefined*. Got the point? In C, you *must* know what you are doing, and *must* handle the possibility of errors. If not, your program is not even garanteed to crash; it can, after an error, go on working (erratically), possibly damaging user data or yielding subtly wrong results without any warning. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free - Linus Torvalds

In my case it would need to be configured for full ssh/noip support, and probably shouldn't be Gentoo based as this selection wouldn't likely get updated very often and the now far more restrictive policies on how often Gentoo has to be updated probably aren't appropriate for this task. None the less maybe a good thing for me to do would be to do an install of something like this remotely, test it, and then deal with system updates later. Also, as long as ssh isn't harmed I can pretty much scp any package to the machine and get it working again, albeit with some extra work. Normally I already do a --fetchonly any time I'm planning on an emerge -DuN world but if I forgot usually you can still make it work somehow. Take care, Mark

[gentoo-user] Sound issue - can't use /dev/dsp
My MythTV Gentoo box has recently started having issues recording sound.
The TV tuner re-plays audio through the "mic" interface on my soundcard.
It has worked for months, but now MythTV can't read anything from /dev/dsp.
Any device that uses ALSA directly seems to work fine (like TVTime which
plays TV with audio just fine) - only those that rely on /dev/dsp seem to
have trouble. My simple test shows this:
# cat /dev/dsp > /dev/null
cat: /dev/dsp: Input/output error
This was run as root. Perms are fine:
crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 3 2008-10-03 08:56 /dev/dsp
Myth user is in audio group (always has been).
Has something changed in ALSA that I didn't catch? I don't see anything in
my logs or dmesg that shows a problem. My /etc/asound.conf is as follows:
pcm.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "nforce"
}
pcm.nforce {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
#rate 44100
rate 48000
}
}
ctl.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}
I have tried without this asound.conf and see the same issue.

That's utter bollocks and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of shared
libraries.
True, your installed glibc might be _package version_ 2.8, but the base
_interface_ (as in ABI) defined and supported by your shared glibc is version
2.0, which is the currently developed interface version (the interface is
also known as libc6), and that's what's actually of any interest to a
dynamically linked application.
Guess why applications dynamically linked against a 2.3 glibc can still be run
(without recompilation!) on a 2.8 glibc, and mostly vice-versa, except when
the application linked with a 2.8 glibc uses symbols which were introduced
later than the libc you're trying to run it on, but in that case these
symbols aren't marked as GLIBC_2.0 in your 2.8 glibc, but as GLIBC_2.4, for
example (stating that this symbol was first introduced and conforms to the
ABI that glibc 2.4 upwards have/has).
Do a readelf -a /lib/libc.so.6 to see what I'm talking about (symbol
versioning, and multiple symbols for one name differing in the symbol
version).

Again, this is utter bullshit. Python doesn't have a "shoddy" implementation
of libc_ver(), it just doesn't give you what you expect it to give you (it's
not a package manager, for gods sake), but rather what's of actual interest
to anyone doing application development.

This is a very simple hack which simply doesn't work. Nice try. It's
not so much portage's fault as it is Python.
Basically what python is doing is opening it's executable
(/usr/bin/python') and doing a egrep for
(__libc_init)|(GLIBC_([0-9.]+))|(libc(_\w+)?\.so(?:\.(\d[0-9.]*))?)
Then it finds the matches and tries to apply some "logic" to decide the
best answer. On my system it's "GLIBC_2.0" and so platform.libc_ver()
returns ('glibc', '2.0') whereas my actual libc is glibc 2.8.
Obviously the person who wrote the function was trying to be
cross-platform. Python runs on many different platforms, POSIX and
non-POSIX. But the implementation is a bit "lazy" and, obviously,
inaccurate.
OTOH, if I were to take a guess I'd say not many people use the platform
module. I've been programming in python for over 10 years and this is
the first time I've even looked at it. Most code I've seen will use
sys.platform. It only returns the OS name but, when you're using a
cross-platform language, that's usually all you're worried about.
So partial blame goes to both python and portage: python for it's shoddy
implementation of platform.libc_ver() and portage for relying on it :-)

The line: int integer = real_number; will produce a warning.

I had to take a more devious approach involving a new test system and repeated attempts to install the same packages on it as were on the live system until I found the one that was causing the trouble. It was then a simple matter to remove it from the world file, where it shouldn't have been in the first place, and I can now dispense with the test system. So I could have saved myself several days of head-banging if I'd just looked in the world file - I'd have noticed the offender straight away. 20-20 hindsight.

Re: [gentoo-user] A question about emerge --info
Hi,
I don't know if this is clear by now, but apparently the glibc version
which is printed is the glibc version used to built python, because
>libcname,libcversion = libc_ver(sys.executable)
in this line the version is determined of sys.executable which is the
python interpreter used to run the script.
But I'm not sure if libc_ver is working correctly, since platform.py
says on my system "with-glibc2.0", but my current version is 2.6.1 and
I doubt that my python 2.5 was built with 2.0.
Some checking:

As you can see 2.6.1 is installed and python is using this version of glibc.
That's why I'm wondering if it's not libc_ver which is buggy.

If you set up in the /etc/make.conf file the FEATURES="buildpkg" the portage will maintain the /usr/portage/packages/All directory automatically. If you wanto to know more about portage and portage features I suggest to you to read the documentation.

[gentoo-user] more than one package directory ?
Hi, I'd like to use more than one package directory, e.g. /usr/portage/packages plus plus all stuff on a DVD. Is there a Gentoo specific way to do so or do I need an overlay file system like aufs ? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
[gentoo-user] packages/All - how to create ?
Hi, I have a (nearly) identical Gentoo system on several machines. On all machines except one, there is a directory /usr/portage/packages/All which contains symlinks to the packages in the specific directories. This is quite comfortable when copying the most recent packages. How can I set up GenToo to create and maintain this directory?

Firstly, the image of the system set aside by s2disk leaves the system's partitions in a 'dirty' state simply because they're technically still in use. Your kernel needs to be told to look at /dev/sda6 for resuming, appending resume=/dev/sda6 (might be resume=swap:/dev/sda6, not sure) in your grub/lilo config should handle that part, though I've a vague recollection of something about a default resume partition last time I ran through menuconfig too, so you may even be able to avoid that. When it boots, rather than running through init and the usual, it needs access to the 'resume' executable, which has to be usable *before* the system's current mounts are reestablished... which means initrd or initramfs. If you already have both of those things (kernel knowing what the resume partition is and having access to 'resume' where it wants it) as they should be... I'm at a loss. If you go to: http://www.google.com/search?q=HOWTO+Userspace+Software+Suspend+(uswsusp)+-+Gentoo+Linux+Wiki and then hit 'cached' under the first hit, it'll take you to google's last copy of the page. Also, as a side note, from http://www.freewebs.com/gkiagia/hibernate.html -- "WARNING: Never boot the suspended system with another kernel than the one that you used to suspend and never try to mount suspended partitions from another linux system, such as a live cd, otherwise you will probably have data loss." -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
