[gentoo-user] dirmngr crashes when launching Gnupg Log Viewer in Kleopatra

[gentoo-user] no mouse nor keyboard on X
Hi, guys, After quite a long update list of packages (100+) and a reboot, I could not work in any window or desktop manager I have installed. I rebooted (the ACPI power switch worked fine) and managed to get interactive action during the init scripts and did not allowed xdm to start. Then I was able to use normaly the keyboard and mouse (gpm). Forced reinstall of xorg-server, xorg-drivers, xorg-cf-files, xdm, kdm (also, in my case, nvidia-drivers) and tryed to use Window Maker - no mouse movements, although the pointer was there, and no visible keyboard effect. Any hints on how to get things back? Thanks Francisco -- If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.

[gentoo-user] Boot gentoo with GTP Disk label
Hello, I installed a gentoo on a very recent system (efi support) . AT the reception of the laptop it was a disk label msdos, with a boot partition w** installer ... I changed that against a GPt disk label. I can install without problem the gentoo , but now it doenst boot. I read some docs about gpt,mbr,boot principles and tried some tools - install the grub2 masked package and grub-install. - a special partion bios_grub as 1st bootable partition. but actually no succesful... but in the parted i did not see this bios_grub as flag... I found some tips from the web , but i guess that was only valid for a macintel system, not a normal pc with a disk labeled gpt and an efi support. I know that it is not required an efi partiton to boot the os with pc/bios and gpt disk. Or is it false ? If anybody has an other idea. Or I must abandon the gpt disk label ? Is there an equivalent refitr in OS x86 ? Thanks Best regards Claude

It look to me like you have an evdev driver built against an earlier X server Does anyone else think it would be useful for emerge to have a switch to make it re-emerge all of the individual packages making up a meta-package? 'emerge metapackage' does not do enough and 'emerge -e metapackage' will rebuild too much.Either that or a utility to split a meta-package into its constituent parts, so you could have something like 'emerge $(qsplit xorg-drivers)'. Though in the case of xorg-drivers the recommended 'emerge $(qlist -IC xorg-drivers/)' works just as well, but this is just pure luck as the required packages are in a single category which contains no other packages.

Hi Luis, Thanks. Octave is something I'm looking at. It's clearly able to model things like DSP filter response (both steady state as well as impulse) but it doesn't seem like the right tool to actually learn about doing DSP filter design. Someone else on another list suggested Faust but it's apparently squirreled away in yet another overlay so I haven't bothered to load it yet. It turns out for actual design just using the web might be one of the better ways for me to go about this. There are lots of sites that allow me to enter the characteristics I'm looking for and then give back the results in z-transform, C code and other ways. Those look fairly easy to transfer to code I can run. I appreciate your ideas. Cheers, Mark
[gentoo-user] can't create file but disk isn't full
hi everyone, something weird is happening on my system. I can't create new files, it says No space left on device, but the disk has several gigabytes of free space! the output of df -h is: FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 35G 23G 11G 69% / /dev/root 35G 23G 11G 69% / rc-svcdir 1.0M 120K 904K 12% /lib64/rc/init.d udev 10M 240K 9.8M 3% /dev shm 974M 1.1M 973M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda6 157G 133G 17G 89% /home /dev/sda1 35G 28G 7.6G 79% /mnt/windows I'm running out of space on the home partition. it says it has 17 GB of free space, but right now there's only 330 MB available (I wrote a small program to create the largest file it can). this was happening before, when I had a few gigabytes free, but now the [fake] available space is growing and I'm losing space on my disk each day! where should I start looking for to solve this problem? the filesystem of the home partition is ext4. I don't even know if this is related to Gentoo, but that's the OS I'm running :-) I'm running ~amd64, by the way. regards.

[gentoo-user] v4l need tuning?
Hi List, I got a capture card (4 port composite) ages ago, and I remember I had it working perfectly. I've just reinstalled it into a fresh gentoo box and connected one of the cameras, and all I'm getting is noise. I know its a real image as when I put my hand over the camera lens, the image goes black, still distorted but black. From what I've been able to tell from a bit of poking around, it seems that the Hsync of the camera or card isn't set right and is causing this distortion. I can't give you the exact card model as I've lost all the paperwork, but it does come up as a bt878 generic card. Originally I was having timeouts but solved that with a pci slot change. I've got almost no real knowledge of v4l so I'm pretty lost as to what I should be looking at next. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Matt

Re: [gentoo-user] v4l need tuning?
Actually I've just found the paperwork, it's an LMLBT44 from Linux Media Labs. Their website isn't much help, it did point me to the module arguments to use, so it's now no longer detected as a generic unknown card. Unfortunately I'm still seeing the same issues. Thanks

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: can't create file but disk isn't full
You probably have files opened that have since been deleted. du doesn't report them as the names are no longer in the directory and df doesn't report them as they are pending deletion once the last handle to them is closed. It's a nasty thing to find. Run this: lsof | grep deleted You should find a ton of junk temp files (they will go away when you log out).

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: can't create file but disk isn't full
I shutdown this computer everyday, those temp files shouldn't be alive for months. I ran lsof | grep deleted and it returned 132 lines, the biggest number being 2032226 (2 MB?), belonging to the Chromium browser process. even if every line had that value (which is not), that would sum up 264 MB, but the difference of reported/real free space is way bigger than that. changing the filesystem back to ext3 can solve this problem? it was ext3 before I've changed it to ext4 some months ago.

I'm fresh out of ideas on this one. As I understand it, downgrading from ext4 to ext3 normally doesn't work out. There are features in ext4 that make it very attractive and most folk enable them, but they are incompatible with ext3. Or so I have read. I would boot into a rescue system and run an fsck on that volume if you have not already done so.

If yes, it probably means your reserved block count is a bit high (default is 5% I believe). The reserved block count is a mechanism that disallows further writes to the filesystem if it gets too full, and only root can keep writing. If that's your problem, the reserved block count can be changed with the tune2fs tool. To set it to, say 2%, you would run: tune2fs -m 2 /dev/sda6 I don't know if it's safe to do this while the filesystem is mounted. To play it safe, go to single user mode, umount /home, and only then run the above command.
