[gentoo-user] mixing python-2 and python-3 howto

Meanwhile there are packages (like portpeek-2.0.1) which require Python-3.x . Is it safe to have both Python-2 and Python-3 installed. I know they are slotted and I know about eselect python but do I have to switch Python (by using eselect) before emerge a given packages.

Like Amarok being very unstable, and taking 5 minutes to start. What the heck is it doing in this time? Fuck knows what amarok-2x does for the first 5 minutes. I *think* On my system it scans the music directory, presumably to find updates that happened when amarok was not running. Fair enough, can't argue that, but why is it so *slow*??? Yes, it scans the collection, I just verified that by removing a folder from my collection. Start-up takes 7 minutes, I guess this also slows down my KDE4 start-up even further (strigi also scans some stuff for about a minute, along this music files I did not touch in any way). So when I save my KDE session I have to remember to quit amarok before that. Of course, I also have to remember to start amarok some time after I logged in, so I can play music when I want without having to wait 7 minutes first. This does not feel right... BTW, a find /data/mp3 -type d takes about a minute. Checking the date of the directories to verify they did not alter since the last scan should not take that much longer. Ah, I see the problem. It mainly scans /data/mp3/incoming, a directory I have NOT selected as collection folder (but most other directories in /data/mp3 are selected). Still, those files do not show up in my collection, which is fine - some time ago amarok did index all in /data/mp3, even if a directory was not selected. More precisely: Amarok scans folders not selected as collection for *.m3u playlists, and looks up their files. I had reported this in [*], and got some responses, but no solution or even confirmation. But today I emerged Amarok 2.3.0.90, and startup time went from 7 minutes to around half a minute now, so this bug seems to be fixed. Wonko [*] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229239

The last three are your problem. The intel video driver is unable to properly access the DRM subsystem, which will definitely cause X to slow to a crawl. The most likely cause of your errors is that the intel AGP driver (i810 or i915, depending on your hardware) isn't getting loaded. If that's the case, you should see an error such as: [drm] failed to load kernel module i915 in Xorg.0.log just before the ones from intel. If the modules are being loaded, you'll likely see some other errors around that same area. The aren't tagged with (EE), unfortunately; try: # grep -5 'Failed to open DRM' Xorg.0.log You can also check your dmesg output to see if the devices are being initialized properly: platypus log # dmesg | grep agp Linux agpgart interface v0.103 agpgart-intel :00:00.0: Intel 965GM Chipset agpgart-intel :00:00.0: detected 7676K stolen memory agpgart-intel :00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xe000 platypus log # dmesg | grep drm [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [drm] set up 7M of stolen space [drm] initialized overlay support fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for :00:02.0 on minor 0 If everything's working, you should have the following devices that the Xorg driver needs: platypus log # ls -l /dev/dri total 0 crw-rw 1 root video 226, 0 Apr 20 13:11 card0 crw-rw 1 root video 226, 64 Apr 20 13:11 controlD64 Ah, thank you so much.

(EE) intel(0): Failed to initialize kernel memory manager The first two errors are fine; Xorg defaults to trying vesa and fbdev as display drivers and you just don't have them. The last three are your problem. The intel video driver is unable to properly access the DRM subsystem, which will definitely cause X to slow to a crawl. The most likely cause of your errors is that the intel AGP driver (i810 or i915, depending on your hardware) isn't getting loaded. If that's the case, you should see an error such as: [drm] failed to load kernel module i915 in Xorg.0.log just before the ones from intel. If the modules are being loaded, you'll likely see some other errors around that same area. The aren't tagged with (EE), unfortunately; try: # grep -5 'Failed to open DRM' Xorg.0.log You can also check your dmesg output to see if the devices are being initialized properly: platypus log # dmesg | grep agp Linux agpgart interface v0.103 agpgart-intel :00:00.0: Intel 965GM Chipset agpgart-intel :00:00.0: detected 7676K stolen memory agpgart-intel :00:00.0: AGP aperture is 256M @ 0xe000 platypus log # dmesg | grep drm [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [drm] set up 7M of stolen space [drm] initialized overlay support fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for :00:02.0 on minor 0 If everything's working, you should have the following devices that the Xorg driver needs: platypus log # ls -l /dev/dri total 0 crw-rw 1 root video 226, 0 Apr 20 13:11 card0 crw-rw 1 root video 226, 64 Apr 20 13:11 controlD64 Ah, thank you so much.

[gentoo-user] What are you waiting for!
Since today, whenever I try to shutdown the laptop I get messages saying waiting for net.wlan0 (XX) seconds Where X varies between 50 and 5. And I got this message for every service that is stopped. The problem looks similar to what's described here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-788186-view-next.html?sid=c27614d6088b347267495ace897e6b22 But I couldn't get a solution from that forum. Today was the day I installed network manager, but I don't know if that has something to do. I have no clue what may be failing. Thanks in advance, Damian.

Hm. Does that mean your database servers are allowed to be slower than the web and mail servers? No, it means that the database software intelligently handles swap. An enterprise grade db like this one will load many megabytes of data in huge chunks on and off disk in one action. If you are dealing with tables containing many millions of rows, you really do want this behaviour. Without swap, the db will still load and unload many megs of data at a time on and off disk, so there is no appreciable downgrade of performance, but I do have the benefit of keeping data in virtual memory for longer using swap. The database code pages are never swapped by design - doing that is just plan stupid. The web and mail servers on the other hand deal with millions of small files, on the order of 10k each. Allowing that to swap is catastrophic. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

No, the OOM killer kicks in when the kernel has no more virtual memory, including swap. Either way, more RAM is the answer. Or fidn the app with the memory leak if you are unlucky enough to have one of those running around. The added swapfile with one GB won't help here for a start? Yes, it will. If it's running out of RAM+swap, then more swap will help. Stroller.
[gentoo-user] modules.audoload.d is not autoloaded
hi, i have some modules putted in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, and my kernel is 2.6.32-gentoo-r7. but after system started up, i found those modules are not loaded. running 'rc-update show', i can see the 'modules' is in 'boot' runlevel. if i load those modules manually, they can be loaded normally. what's wrong with autoload? -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/
