On my server, I use RAID-1 for swap as well. Why risk the system crashing 
because half the swap dissappears suddenly because of a drive failure?

There actually is only 1 system that I use regularly with a RAID-0 partition. 
And that machine is only used for virtual machines I use for testing. If that 
one dies, worst that happens is I need to recreate the images. Not a big loss 
for me.

Hi, I've already found a way to make it work.

Here:
We need to configure the kernel of our gentoo b0x, we give support to ip and
ppp

Networking --->
Networking options --->
<*> Unix domain sockets[*] TCP/IP networking
Device Drivers --->
Network device support --->[*] Network device support
<*> PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
<*> PPP support for async serial ports
<*> PPP support for sync tty ports
<*> PPP Deflate compression
<*> PPP BSD-Compress compression


then we make active:
Device Drivers --->
SCSI device support --->
<*> SCSI CDROM support
USB support --->
<*> Support for Host-side USB
<*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
<*> USB Mass Storage support
USB Serial Converter support --->
<*> USB Serial Converter support
<*> USB driver for GSM and CDMA modems

finally we compile our kernel and reboot the system, and then we add our
modem with our Network Manager (gnome) and it will work fine

By the way, after reboot, as root : eject /dev/sr0 (to make it work)

Well, no.  I don't use raid 1 with swap; I just use a separate swap
partition on each drive.  But all the other partitions, I use raid 1.

My thinkpad is often connected to an external monitor to create

> want to leave this list but I can not

Here's how to unsubscribe:

First, ask your Internet Provider to mail you an Unsubscribing Kit.
Then follow these directions.

The kit will most likely be the standard no-fault type. Depending on
requirements, System A and/or System B can be used. When operating
System A, depress lever and a plastic dalkron unsubscriber will be
dispensed through the slot immediately underneath. When you have
fastened the adhesive lip, attach connection marked by the large "X"
outlet hose. Twist the silver-coloured ring one inch below the
connection point until you feel it lock.

The kit is now ready for use. The Cin-Eliminator is activated by the
small switch on the lip.  When securing, twist the ring back to its
initial condition, so that the two orange lines meet.  Disconnect.
Place the dalkron unsubscriber in the vacuum receptacle to the rear.
Activate by pressing the blue button.

The controls for System B are located on the opposite side. The red
release switch places the Cin-Eliminator into position; it can be
adjusted manually up or down by pressing the blue manual release
button. The opening is self-adjusting. To secure after use, press the
green button, which simultaneously activates the evaporator and
returns the Cin-Eliminator to its storage position.

You may log off if the green exit light is on over the evaporator.  If
the red light is illuminated, one of the Cin-Eliminator requirements
has not been properly implemented. Press the "List Guy" call button on
the right of the evaporator. He will secure all facilities from his
control panel.

To use the Auto-Unsub, first undress and place all your clothes in the
clothes rack. Put on the velcro slippers located in the cabinet
immediately below. Enter the shower, taking the entire kit with
you. On the control panel to your upper right upon entering you will
see a "Shower seal" button. Press to activate. A green light will then
be illuminated immediately below. On the intensity knob, select the
desired setting. Now depress the Auto-Unsub activation lever. Bathe
normally.

The Auto-Unsub will automatically go off after three minutes unless
you activate the "Manual off" override switch by flipping it up. When
you are ready to leave, press the blue "Shower seal" release
button. The door will open and you may leave. Please remove the velcro
slippers and place them in their container.

If you prefer the ultrasonic log-off mode, press the indicated blue
button. When the twin panels open, pull forward by rings A & B. The
knob to the left, just below the blue light, has three settings, low,
medium or high. For normal use, the medium setting is suggested.

After these settings have been made, you can activate the device by
switching to the "ON" position the clearly marked red switch. If
during the unsubscribing operation you wish to change the settings,
place the "manual off" override switch in the "OFF" position. You may
now make the change and repeat the cycle. When the green exit light
goes on, you may log off and have lunch. Please close the door behind
you.

Send email to gentoo-user+unsubscr...@lists.gentoo.org from the

gentoo.org and not an alternative service). This process is explained
in the sign-up message you got, and listed in the headers of every

I've been using app-emulation/qemu-kvm-0.13.0-r2 since early March.  I
have not had that problem, but I do not use the hardened flag.

[gentoo-user] non-Twinview dual screen setup?

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I hooked up second monitor to my Nvidia GTX465 card yesterday and
wanted to get dual screen running. Unfortunately, except for using
Twinview which works fine, I've been unable to do it without Twinview.
Twinview itself isn't bad, but I don't like how ever KDE decision I
have to take (logout, settings, etc.) always starts spanned across my
two monitors. That doesn't happen on my dual screen Intel system.

   Anyway, I'm attaching both the Twinview and non-Twinview xorg.conf
files. Maybe someone can see possible changes to make the non-Twinview
actually work? Currently it produces video on only the first monitor
to the left. The monitor on the right stays dark. Again, both monitors
work fine when using Twinview with a 3840x1080 desktop.

Thanks,
Mark


Non-Twinview config which only works on one monitor.

I use  this commands in the startup script of fluxbox:
setxkbmap -option &
setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:caps_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,il &

So you can use setxkbmap to check configuration and then apply it to
xorg.conf.

[gentoo-user] how to match kernel and udev/lvm2 ?

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

edit: didn't get through at first try?

-

*WARNING*   old stuff mentioned, pls don't say "get up to date"

;-)

>

greets,

another special question today:

I had an issue w/ a customer server yesterday.

It still runs kernel 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 due to the fact that they still
run vmware-server-1.0.8.126538 and the related modules.

Back then I figured out that newer vmware-modules wouldn't compile w/
newer kernels ... and so on.

In fact they don't want to spend money on upgrading (vmware-server etc)
because there will be a new and shiny server later this year.

-

But the guy asked me if we could swap harddrives to add space, and
increase the LVM volume group etc.

I said yes .. and upgraded stuff like udev and lvm2 a few weeks ago,
just in case and to have the latest releases. It hit us yesterday when
he swapped a fan and at reboot udev didn't create proper sdX and mdX
devices anymore ...

So I had to downgrade udev and lvm2 again to fit that ancient kernel. I
used genlop to check which versions were installed at the time the last
successful boot had happened.

Right now I have:

sys-fs/udev-124-r2

sys-fs/lvm2-2.02-56-r2

yep, old.

The question: how to find out (without much trial and error) which
releases of udev and lvm2 are the best/newest to use with that kernel?

I don't want too much old bugs in the box on one hand while on the other
hand I have to mask pkgs to keep it running.

Maybe one of you has a hint for me.

Thanks in advance, best regards, Stefan

I bought a $5 keyboard that was not bad, but the layout had "sleep",
"wake", "power" keys between the Del/End/PgDn row and the arrow keys.
In Linux, of course, the keys didn't actually do anything, but
physically they still annoyed me because there should not be keys
there! So I remove them with a screwdriver. :)

I can't imagine using it if those keys actually shutdown the machine.
Such a horrible placement.

Sorry, the problem was in paths in my xorg.conf. I thought this section isn't 
being used by modern Xorg anymore. It works perfect now, with 
/usr/share/fonts/corefonts...

Hi list,

Could someone please tell me, is it possible to set ttf corefonts in Worker

it complains that can't locate font.

My fc-list shows all ttf corefonts, xlsfonts doesn't show any. Is there a way

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg crashes

[Mike Bean]

That, is an interesting question, because I HAVE been changing USE flags.
When the kernel was built it had a distinctly different use flag set.   Now
it's USE="mmx sse sse2 ssh X -gnome -kde -qt4 dbus jpeg lock session
startup-notification thunar udev -cdr -dvd alsa gtk"

I might be giving myself away as a gentoo noob here, but I haven't
technically built anything.When you say, "rebuild" are you referring to
basically the same process as emerge?   That's how I got my drivers and

Here's what I use in my xorg.conf to turn "caps-lock" into a "ctrl"
key:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbOptions"  "ctrl:nocaps,compose:ralt,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection

It also turns the right-hand ALT key into a compose key and enables
ctrl-alt-backspace as the termination sequence for the X server.

It should be localhost in all cases.  The mysql versions are  5.1.53 in
both cases.  I am trying to login with the mysql client and I can do it
on the old box, but not the new one --same host name, etc.

Now I can login with the root password on the new box, maybe that is
stored somewher else.

 Older versions of mysql used a different format for the passwords and
there is a flag you need to pass to mysqld to get it to use old passwords (I
believe)

What is the connection string you are using? Specifically are you connecting
via the mysql socket, using a hostname etc?
 Say the old server was called "foo.stuff.net" and the connection was
made via the external interface e.g. "mysql -h foo.stuff.net", the user may
have been setup to allow connections from "foo.stuff.net" only, as where now
you may be connectin from "bar.stuff.net" or "localhost".

SELECT user,host FROM mysql.user ORDER BY user;

May shed some light on the situation for you.

[gentoo-user] putting mysql databases from one system to another

[covici]

I am trying to copy my databases from one system to another and since
one is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit, I was told that I could not copy
the binary  databases   directly, but I had to  do mysqldump and then
put that source file into the new system.  What I am getting is that the
passwords seem not to have gotten through -- the user names seem to be
there, but I cannot login with the passwords the user had in the old
system.

Can anyone tell me why this is so and what I can do to fix?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I think you are referring to the following:
MAKEOPTS="-j --load-average=5"  

 
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="-va -j --load-average=5"   

  

These limit the load-average to 5. As long as the load is below this number, 
additional make/compile/emerge processes can be spawned.

With the 2.6.36-gentoo-r8 kernel I would suggest that you configure KMS as 
explained here:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

it is likely that you would not need x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard or mouse 
drivers and that evdev will serve both devices.  In that case the crash that 
seems to happen after the mouse is being set up may go away.

The emul-linux-x86-gtklibs is a binary package (32bit compatibility),
so re-emerging it won't make any difference. The package maintainer
will need to build a new version which links to the newer versions of
libraries. Until then I think you should just ignore it.

If you want to mask it entirely edit
/etc/revdep-rebuild/99revdep-rebuild and add its path to the search
dirs mask and it should stop bothering to check it.

[gentoo-user] how to match kernel and udev/lvm2 ?

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

*WARNING*   old stuff mentioned, pls don't say "get up to date"

;-)

>

greets,

another special question today:

I had an issue w/ a customer server yesterday.

It still runs kernel 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 due to the fact that they still
run vmware-server-1.0.8.126538 and the related modules.

Back then I figured out that newer vmware-modules wouldn't compile w/
newer kernels ... and so on.

In fact they don't want to spend money on upgrading (vmware-server etc)
because there will be a new and shiny server later this year.

-

But the guy asked me if we could swap harddrives to add space, and
increase the LVM volume group etc.

I said yes .. and upgraded stuff like udev and lvm2 a few weeks ago,
just in case and to have the latest releases. It hit us yesterday when
he swapped a fan and at reboot udev didn't create proper sdX and mdX
devices anymore ...

So I had to downgrade udev and lvm2 again to fit that ancient kernel. I
used genlop to check which versions were installed at the time the last
successful boot had happened.

Right now I have:

sys-fs/udev-124-r2

sys-fs/lvm2-2.02-56-r2

yep, old.

The question: how to find out (without much trial and error) which
releases of udev and lvm2 are the best/newest to use with that kernel?

I don't want too much old bugs in the box on one hand while on the other
hand I have to mask pkgs to keep it running.

Maybe one of you has a hint for me.

Thanks in advance, best regards, Stefan

If your hypothesis is correct, it presents an interesting opportunity.
How to dynamically priortize (renice) processes that sporadically
run at the same time. 

:-(

A while back, (few months?) there was a discussion about how to
limit processor by settings in make.conf to restrict the load.
There were several approaches listed in the thread.
Maybe there's a scriptable (cron-able) solution on limiting
the load on the machine? I think you even contributed to
the thread?


Just a thought but I am most curious as to your solution,
should you 'embrace' the challenge

All of this is caused by your previous gcc profile being invalid, that
is, pointing to a non-existent gcc version (one that had already been
uninstalled). You *don't* have to re-emerge gcc as it says -- the bug is
not in your GCC_SPECS but in gcc-config.

You should first run gcc-config again to make sure your newly installed
compiler it set as the default, then run `fix_libtool_files.sh 4.4.4` as
the ebuild was trying to do.

Thanks Walt, just tried it, but it fails in the same way.  All I now see is
this:



term.c:144: error: conflicting types for ‘term_tcanvas_data’
term.h:156: note: previous declaration of ‘term_tcanvas_data’ was here


Ah, that's the real error message.  The obvious thought is that the compiler
is picking up the wrong term.h from somewhere.

I have term.h from the ncurses package, but it doesn't define term_canvas_data
so it can't be the file that's causing your problem.

If term.h is actually part of the enterminus sources, then the code is broken
and needs to be fixed.  If the - package downloads the sources from a
repository, it may already be fixed and you could just try updating it again.

[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild Not Fixing Broken Links

[dhkuhl]

On my amd64 laptop I have broken links that never clear up.  The laptop is new 
and the install is only about two months old.  Everything works all right, but 
revdep-rebuild lists the following broken links, and after a few weeks of 
sync'ing they haven't gone away.  If I remember correctly, the problem began 
after the removal of a package that was causing blocking after an update.  I 
think the package was polkit/policykit but not sure.  Even after an emerge with 
the -E option the problem persists.The output of revdep-rebuild is below.

I was actually thinking about exactly that situation. I use emerge -j
and make -j9 and can have dozens (hundreds?) or processes starting and
stopping all the time. If there's even a slight delay between when ps
runs and when chkproc checks /proc for itself I can see how there
might be a couple discrepancies. The fact that they don't show later I
think is a good sign that there's nothing permanently hidden by a
modified ps binary.

Alternatively, use an NFS mount as $DISTDIR and you don't end up with
copies of the tarballs on every machine on the network.

Re-emerge finished, and now no more errors, only some warnings:

+ If I have issues with 'libstdc++.la', I should run
'fix_libtool_files.sh' on the old gcc versions

 Yes; I want it to mirror my portage tree and serve it to other boxes on

Thanks Paul, I ran chkrootkit again manually this morning and none of
the previous warnings showed up.

The warnings were generated last time the cron job run chkrootkit.  I
think that the box was rather busy in the middle of emerging stuff at
the time, so I wonder if that had something to do with it.

I remerged procps just as a precaution.

Hi Jake Moe,

for the distfiles http-replicator is great. Example:
Box one has the tarball. Box 2, 3 and 4 can download it as well. Box one
does not have the tarball. Box 2 may search for it, box one will
download it and give it to box 2. Then box 3 and 4 can download it from
box one as well.

I've got four boxes in my home network, and I have one pull down the
updates, the other three sync with that one.

I've also set up proftpd to allow anonymous read-only access to my
/usr/portage/distfiles folder, so the other three can try to pull their
packages from locally first as well, and if that box hasn't downloaded
it yet, only then will they try to retrieve it from the Internet.  See
