[gentoo-user] Xorg confusion and no glxinfo
Hi All, I cleared out some xorg related packages at some point because my machine will not shutdown without a kernel oops when it is trying to unload the radeon driver. It now seems I can no longer find glxgears/info. What have I removed that I shouldn't have? I remember unmerging xorg-x11 (there was advice in this list that this is not needed when using Fluxbox or other lightweight window managers). When I moved to x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r* I also unmerged x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati. I recall concluding at the time that the new xorg-server did not need such an external driver - is that right? I have set radeon as the video card in my /etc/make.conf, but Xorg.0.log shows ati_drv.so - should it be so? # less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver X.Org XInput driver : 2.1 (==) Matched ati for the autoconfigured driver New driver is ati (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_texture_from_pixmap with driver support # lsmod | grep radeon radeon145696 2 drm 141892 3 radeon Your views? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I hope it's not bad form to reply to my own message ... When I unmerged xorg-x11 I depclean removed a number of packages including x11-apps/mesa-progs - which contains glxinfo and glxgears.

Hm. There is no reason to unload any driver or module just to shut down. Are you sure that's the reason for the oops? It now seems I can no longer find glxgears/info. What have I removed that I shouldn't have? glxgears is part of mesa-progs. I remember unmerging xorg-x11 (there was advice in this list that this is not needed when using Fluxbox or other lightweight window managers). That's a meta-package, which just pulls in a bunch of other packages. Meta- packages are never needed, they're just for your convenience. When I moved to x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r* I also unmerged x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati. I recall concluding at the time that the new xorg-server did not need such an external driver - is that right? No, xorg-server will always need a specific driver for a specific video card, it's just a matter of figuring out which one your card needs. OTOH most cards will work at a very basic level with just the vesa driver -- but that's most likely not what you want. I have set radeon as the video card in my /etc/make.conf, but Xorg.0.log shows ati_drv.so - should it be so? # less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver X.Org XInput driver : 2.1 (==) Matched ati for the autoconfigured driver New driver is ati (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_texture_from_pixmap with driver support # lsmod | grep radeon radeon145696 2 drm 141892 3 radeon I don't know enough about ati products to answer. The xorg-server is pretty good at picking the right driver by itself. If you type X -logverbose at a command prompt and look at the X logfile you may see that the server has loaded multiple drivers and then unloads the ones it doesn't need -- strange behavior but that's the way it's designed, apparently.

Well, no, but when I Ctrl+Alt+F1 to a console and shutdown from there there are no oops with the usual messages about vblank_disable_fn+0x79/0xd0 [drm] and EIP: [e0cc14fe] radeon_get_vblank_counter+0x7e/0xd0 [radeon].

Re: [gentoo-user] Dial-up while travelling?
I have good equipment and good methods for connecting to the internet via ethernet, wireless, or cell phone while travelling, and I'm also wondering about dial-up. Does it work well on Gentoo? Should a laptop's internal modem work, or would I be better off buying an external one? Has anyone found dial-up to be a useful method of connection while travelling? - Grant This is going back a few years, I haven't had any experience recently. A lot of modems used to be referred to as Softmodems, those that depended hugely on the operating system (very often Windows). Those modems were a bitch to get working under linux. We used to have to make sure we were buying hardware modems. A lot of internal modems were Softmodems and were pretty useless for linux. As I say, this may be totally out of date now, but it's possible you won't get an internal modem working under linux. If this is the case, you will have to buy a proper hardware one. Hope this gives a little bit of info. ~Matt This is very true. Buy a external serial modem, not a USB only one either. External serial is the only ones I can find that are hardware based. My modem has a USB port but I use the serial port. If it is only USB, it could very well be a software modem. Be cautious on that. Mine is a Actiontec brand. I did have one to fail but it got hit by lightening big time. It even blew up the telephone box outside. It didn't let it get through to my computer tho. Otherwise, I have not had any problems. If you are unsure, send a link to what you find and maybe we can help make sure it will work. Many softmodems today have Linux drivers and work straight out of the box. My laptop has a lucent modem and I have had no problems at all with it. Often use it when out and about, or when I want to run a test from a different IP address than my ADSL connection. The only thing is I have to remember to re-emerge it when I compile a new kernel (module-rebuild). -- Regards, Mick You're using the ltmodem package? You guys haven't heard of a standalone router/modem that will dial up for the WAN and send out a wireless signal for the LAN have you? I have a tiny D-Link device like that which uses ethernet for the WAN. Very handy for travel. - Grant
[gentoo-user] Optimizations for low-bandwidth web browsing?

You'll also probably want to disable all backroung update checks in Firefox so it doesn't secretly check for and/or download new extensions and themes. Your ISP (mobile phone carrier in this case) may have a web proxy that compresses html and images to make them smaller. Another trick is to use the Google xhtml search to get reformatted mobile versions of web pages which will be very lightweight: http://www.google.com/xhtml Good luck!

[gentoo-user] SSL giving corrupted MAC on input
Hi there! I'm getting this issue where even very small transfers through ssh will cause this error message: Corrupted MAC on input. I've done my homework and found out this is not necessarily related to the network hardware as TCP would retransmit such corrupted packets, moreover the error message is clearly related to ssh as googling proves this. A quick troubleshooting i've done was to setup apache and simply wget a very large file over plain HTTP. Transfer worked, i did it a second time and diff'ed the two downloads, they were the same. I then did the same test over HTTPS and got an error (SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac). This clarified the problem is much more related to SSL than anything else. A quick glance at `emerge -vp openssl` showed an issue: it had been compiled with sse2 support while this computer's cpu didnt support that. Changed use flags and recompiled, restarted ssh and apache. They both continued giving the same error. I finally rebooted the machine, in case, but same issue still... The only use flag for openssl now is zlib. What is also pretty strange about the issue, is i haven't touched the kernel in a long time and i usually do all my gentoo updates on monday. The problem must have happened since last monday's updates, but i dont monitor those very much, all i care is everything went fine and that revdep-rebuild says i'm good to go. I've done many emerges since then so i cant figure out a way to see what has been updated recently. A bit of background: That PC runs kernel 2.6.24, it's my slowest pc (used for backups mostly) P3 @ 450Mhz, it's got 128MB of ram. Some programes have been unmasked, but none that have any relationship with openssl are, everything dealing with that is stable. Doing `find /usr/portage/distfiles -ctime -10` (should give me the files downloaded within last 10 days, right?) it shows a few files but glibc is the only that i can see has relationship with issue... Anyone can help troubleshoot some more?

And based on a little searching, you may want to post emerge --info as

make[3]: *** [insn-attrtab.o] Error 1
MAKEOPTS=-j2
Can you try this again without -j2 in the make opts? The gcc build
process is enough of a pain to debug when you can see output
sequentially, running parallel makes makes it worse.
In your case, it failed trying to assemble insn-attrtab.o but the last
output on screen was from insn-recog.c on a different make branch. It
appears that the build process generated an incomplete insn-attrtab.c
file which cut off in the middle of an opcode, most likely in the middle
of a register name like %eax. Its possible that there was another error
buried up further in the output that got lost in the parallelizing.

[gentoo-user] Need advice in selecting a mail server
I have three boxes (baby, camille, and catherine) in my LAN, and for some reason (this was years ago) I set up an exim server on each of them. camille and catherine were supposed to forward their mail to baby, which has a working dovecot server. Now, nothing from catherine is going through, and only mail sent from cron on camille is going through, and everything on baby is being delivered. Some time a couple of years ago my daily logwatch reports stopped coming (all of them) and earlier this year my portage elogs stopped getting mailed to me. I would like to replace all of them with something simple (like ssmtp), but I'm not sure what the setup on baby needs to be so that I can still access my hundreds of saved emails on the dovecot server. Every time emerge on camille or catherine tries to send an elog I get the 451 error. I can't seem to find the attempts in the log files. Anyway, can I use ssmtp on baby to receive/store network mail, or do I need something extra like exim/sendmail?

Oops, I somehow sent that while composing. I was saying, nethogs will

network data at that moment, in a top-like fashion. Not a how much
has it used total, but a how much is it using right now. Here's an

What is the gentoo way to do that? It depends on how you started X in the first place. If you did a startx (or similar), logging out should be all you need to do to get out of X. If you use a login manager, XDM/GDM/KDM then it'll restart itself so you'll need to switch to a VT (ctrl-alt-F1) and then sudo /etc/init.d/xdm stop to shut down XDM (and therefore X). You can then rmmod your video drivers or do whatever changes you want to do. sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start to bring it back up.

Should I emerge it again? It's a reasonable question but I don't know the answer. Your original post said: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so The server apparently loaded both drivers without errors but it may have unloaded the ati driver later on. You won't know unless you do the 'X -logverbose' test I suggested and look through the X log file. I would re-emerge the ati driver, do the verbose logging test and see for yourself if the X server unloads the ati driver after loading it. If so, then you don't need the ati driver. (I suspect you don't, but I'm just guessing.)

Re: [gentoo-user] How to stop X

Maybe you don't use XDM at all, in which case the above suggestion wouldn't have any relevance to your situation. I haven't told you because I don't know. I do know that I was using KDE when I still had X. But I set that up over 5 years ago and I've forgotten all the details. But there's no sign of *dm in /etc/init.d, other than xdm, which acts pretty normal outside of the fact that it fails. It goes through motions, says some things work by putting [OK] in the right margin, and all that. If you tell me how to find out, I'll answer any questions. ++ kevin Look at your ps axf.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: ncurses is gone
thank you. And your comment was duly noted about trying random things. When I boot the system, the following message follows (after one other line) after INIT: version 2.86 booting /sbin/rc: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Alan ...can the human soul be glimpsed through a microscope? Maybe, but you'd definitely need one of those very good ones with two eyepieces. -- Woody Allen, quoted by B. A.

I had hoped to use a binary package, but for now, since I shut the machine down, it will not boot. Is this hopeless? It happened during an emerge -uDvNa world It's never hopeless unless the hard disk is damaged, e.g. from a head crash or similar catastrophe. The important thing is to avoid trying random things without knowing what you're doing. You can turn a simple recovery into a hopeless mess that way. I find that I can usually get myself out of a 'hopeless' mess just by downloading a live gentoo boot CD and using that to install a recent gentoo snapshot. You need a second (working) computer to do that, of course. (Everyone should have as many computers as possible for exactly that reason :o) Meanwhile, more info would help, as the others have already said.
