This takes about 4 seconds, not the 40 minutes it takes to do a ful ext2 check. I think you might need to fsck without the journal. I know there's a way to do this but a cursory glance at the man page didn't reveal it. Maybe an ext user will chip in with the correct method Hi, I ran on the two partitions e2fsck /dev/sde3 as well as fsck.ext3 /dev/sde3 . Yes, it only took some seconds. It's been a long time since I used ext3 so some of this might be wrong. An fsck that takes a few seconds is using the journal, which might not uncover deeper corruption. You should try disabling the journal (I couldn't find the way to do that though), but this will also work: Boot of a LiveCD, mount your root partition somewhere using type ext2 and fsck it. This will invalidate the journal but that's OK, it gets recreated on the next proper boot. Let the fsck finish - it will take a while on a large fs. When done, reboot as normal and see if the machine boots up properly. And I would stand guard to make sure housekeeping doesn't come around. ;-) Cutting power during all this wold not be good. KH, I think that this may not be related to a fs error as such. Yes, pulling the plug may have caused fs corruption. However, more likely is that pulling the plug did not allow you to do something that you should have done after you finished upgrading to grub-0.97-r9. The latest installation of grub asks you to reinstall in the MBR and point its root to wherever your /boot is. GRUB's fs and its drivers may have changed and therefore the old boot loader code is looking for files that no longer exist. So you'll probably be alright again if you boot with a fresh systemrescue LiveCD and run grub and then root (hd) and setup (hd0) before you quit and reboot. If that doesn't work then you most likely have a fs problem. HTH. Hi, I installed grub by connecting the hdd to my workstation. This did not change anything. Also I changed /etc/fstab .

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: State of Radeon drivers
I was updating my AMD64 system last night - which has an nVidia card and uses the nVidia binary stack - and ran into problems. jasper won't compile with nVidia's provide opengl implementation. But bug report[1] notes suggest the problem is in nVidia's binary layer and all the crap the replace. I had to switch it over to the standard X11 opengl to compile it. I'll switch it back later, but there are serious problems with the nVidia binary stack that way. My point is that in using the binary drivers you are laden to the card supports they choose, and you will eventually end up using the open source drivers once they decide it is no longer worth their effort to support the card. This holds true for both nVidia and ATI.

The problems you describe are ATI-binary specific. And yes the nvidia binary replaces a lot of Xorg stuff, but after some time you will realise that this is a good thing, as the Xorg is a mess, breaks with updates, and introduces bugs with each release. And because developers know that, they always prepare their software for nvidia, as it is the only *serious* graphics solution for *nix right now. Don't get me wrong, I don't even have an nvidia card in my systems right now (cause ATI are superior in windows, all my systems have ATI), but I miss the times that I had one. So much more stuff worked without problems and with better performance. On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 4:42 PM, BRM bm_witn...@yahoo.com wrote: That's great so long as nVidia supports your card. The problem with the binary drivers is that they typically only support a percentage of all the cards the video maker makes. For example, I can't use the ATI binary driver on my laptop since it no longer supports the R250 chipset, only their latest 3 or 4 generations of cards. So I have to use the OSS driver, which works great with it. I have been able to use both the OSS and proprietary drivers on my desktop with an nVidia card, but I don't know how much longer that will last. nVidia's proprietary driver is good namely because it is the same at the core as on Windows and Mac, and they wrap it to make it work with the *nix kernels. However, they also do a lot of other funky stuff and keep people from being able to fully use the full extend of X. Just search this list (among others) for xRanderer and other components of X and you'll see the full story of nVidia's proprietary driver.

Konstantin, I'm assuming, from your original post, that you have not changed your kernel in any way over the last few months. You said that it was running fine for eight months but now after rebooting, you're in trouble. Are you *sure* you haven't made any changes to the kernel? I'm also assuming that you know that the kernel drivers for your disk controllers should not be built as modules but built into the kernel so that you don't need to go through creating an initramfs and hoping for your devices to get populated.

[gentoo-user] USB SDHC Card Reader works, but only if mounted first in WinXP virtual machine
Hi, I have a USB SDHC card reader whose partition table is not read, and device node not created, when plugged into my Gentoo Linux computer. I posted about this a year or two ago but was never able to get it working, until I recently made an accidental discovery: If I let a VMWare WinXP take control of the USB device, on the same physical linux machine as above, the card reader mounts normally in the virtual WinXP. Then, if I release the USB device from VMware, Linux takes control of the device back and can read the partition table and creates the device node normally. After that everything works fine, I can copy files to/from etc. and everything seems normal. I hope some usb/udev/something guru here can give me a pointer on where to begin tracking down the cause of this. Thanks. :) When I plug in the card reader, dmesg tells me this: [1637793.709415] usb 2-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 22 [1637793.826139] usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=090c, idProduct=6000 [1637793.826142] usb 2-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [1637793.826145] usb 2-4: Product: SM331AB CARD-READER [1637793.826146] usb 2-4: Manufacturer: Silicon Motion,Inc.

Konstantin, I'm assuming, from your original post, that you have not changed your kernel in any way over the last few months. You said that it was running fine for eight months but now after rebooting, you're in trouble. Are you *sure* you haven't made any changes to the kernel? I'm also assuming that you know that the kernel drivers for your disk controllers should not be built as modules but built into the kernel so that you don't need to go through creating an initramfs and hoping for your devices to get populated. Hi, I tried booting 2.6.28 / 2.6.29 / 2.6.30 . The 30 series has not been running on the box befor. Anyway the result is the same no matter which kernel I am booting. I use make oldconfig for uping the kernel. kh

[gentoo-user] hdparm, CONFIG_ATA_SFF and KDE-4.4.4
The title may not make immediately sense, but this is what I have observed. I switched to CONFIG_ATA_SFF instead of the deprecated CONFIG_IDE. Up until that point I had passed -M 128 to hdparm once and my drive retained the settings between reboots and kept quiet. With the new kernel I noticed that KDE-4.4.4 switches it back to -M 254 and becomes noisy as KDE kicks in (when the system settings symbol comes up during login). I tried adding hdparm in the default runlevel and also added: sda_arg=-M 128 in /etc/conf.d/hdparm but it doesn't seem to work. KDE resets it to full pelt. Is there a fix to this? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

[gentoo-user] Re: how to remove HAL
Btw, I think now the package is polkit, not policykit; I think the first replaced the second. If you enable the policykit USE flag for kdelibs and consolekit, only sys-auth/polkit gets installed, not sys-auth/policykit. However, if you enable that USE flag globally in make.conf, then I think both get installed because some package probably depend on the older package. Anyway, I don't have a policykit.conf. Or if I have one, I don't know where it is and I never edited it. And yet everything seems to be working just fine here. On 07/29/2010 03:31 AM, Andrey Vul wrote: Ugh.

[gentoo-user] Facilities for creating Gentoo Linux based virtual appliances
Hello, For a while I have been assembling methods for myself to be able to easily create Gentoo-based virtual appliances. I have worked with Ubuntu's vmbuilder scripts and basically wanted the same or similar ease of use with Linux. To make a long story short, I threw together a Makefile which basically gives me this ability. I have it at a state where it's pretty much useful to me for my purposes. But I thought someone else may find use for it as well, so I put it up on Bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/marduk/virtual-appliance The Makefile pretty much does an install into a chroot, pretty much by the handbook, with a few alterations where I saw fit. It hast some variables and a couple of hooks to allow for customization. I've already created a few appliances (included) such as: base: A base install of Gentoo Linux gnome: GNOME stable appliance (no GUI console) kde: KDE stable appliance (no GUI console) lodgeit: Lodgeit pastebin appliance[1] teamplayer: TeamPlayer appliance The no GUI console means that by default these appliances don't have an X console. I usually log into them via XDMCP or ssh. So they can be thought of as headless desktop virtual appliances. The base appliance is pretty much the handbook, with dhcpd and a syslog and nothing else. TeamPlayer is a democratic Internet radio station web app that I have been developing. To date I have not distributed it, though eventually plan to. You can contact me directly if interested. Right now there is no documentation or copyright or anything. It's pretty much just the code. Like I said this has been primarily for my personal use so there is nothing fancy like packaging or anything, but it works. Some things can probably be done better. I'm no expert at writing Makefiles. So the way you basically use it is like this: $ sudo make APPLIANCE=gnome VIRTIO=YES qcow This will create a gnome virtual appliance image configured for virtio and supply a qcow (qcow2) disk image. You can also just sudo make for which the default is to create a base appliance not configured with VIRTIO and only supply an image file in raw format. There are other make variables that can be supplied. Check out the Makefile. You can easily create your own VM appliaces by just mkdir appliance-name. Copy the files from base/* into it and edit them as needed. The supplied appliances should be good references. One warning: the Makefile must be run as root, and does things inside a chroot. I have been careful to make sure everything is done in the chroot that needs to be. It is possible for you (or me) to forget to put chroot before a command and cause irreversible damage to your host system. Just giving you this caveat.I'm sure the appliances I provided are safe, but I can't guarantee it and if you make your own appliance just be careful. Ideally one would build VM appliances inside a VM appliance itself :) Well, I probably left some stuff out. Feel free to reply (to this thread I guess) if you have any questions. Oh, when you are finished building your disk image just $ sudo make clean Which will unmount things and remove the temporary files. A FEW MORE IMPORTANT THINGS: In the Makefile, I have PORTAGE=/portage and DISTFILES=/var/portage/distfiles. These are my setup and are not the defaults. You will need to change these values appropriately. Also, you may need to edit the USEPKG variable. I have the Makefile use my binary packages to speed up the creation process (allows me to build a base appliance in about 12 minutes). You may not want this, especially if you have your CFLAGS tuned to a specific processor that your hypervisor does not support. But I use generic CFLAGS so I have no problem using binpkgs. Oh, I use kvm/virt-manager and use virtio for disks and network devices. I tried to configure the VM kernel so that it will support other formats. I am curious as to whether or not the appliances will work with VMWare as I have not actually tried it, but you should be able to create a VM image with $ sudo make vmdk I'm probably leaving something out. You should take a look at the Makefile first if you are going to use it. It shouldn't be that foreign (it's basically handbook stuff but tailored for the use case). Anyway it's out there for you to reference. -a [1] http://dev.pocoo.org/projects/lodgeit/

They think that they can remove HAL and still have stuff like USB hotplugging/automounting working,in Xorg 1.8, udev will replace HAL . we can use devicekit-disks package to mount USB stick or CD,USE polkit-gnome or ntfs3g to mount NTFS filesystem. so HAL is not needed.may be modify gnome-mount ebuild ,remove HAL depedency and put it in local OVERLAY .maybe slove the problem.

From my make.conf: SYNC=rsync://rsync21.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage By the way, they don't limit the number of syncs you can do each day either. Dale :-) :-) Thanks for the info. It just worked; weird. -- Valmor Could be a problem between you and the other servers or something. Who knows. Weird things happen. Just glad that worked and you at least can sync now. Dale :-) :-)
