[gentoo-user] portage for chef-0.10.0
Current chef-client portage is only for version 0.9.12 (according to http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-admin/chef), while version 0.10.0 of chef was released at May, 02. When portage for chef-client, version 0.10.0 will be ready? Thank you. -- Alexey Melezhik
[gentoo-user] Why have a use-flag that can not be disabled?
Hello, atm I play with some use-flags and found that amarok has the flag player that can not be disabled. #required by amarok (argument) =media-sound/amarok-2.4.1 player If this flag is required at all costs, why make a flag at all? What good is a switch that can not be toggled? Greetings Sebastian signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[gentoo-user] Problem with slow Boot
Hey people, i have some weird problem with my two notebooks. The models are, HP ProBook 6450b and Lenovo Ideapad Z360. I'm using LILO in both of the systems and in HP Notebook the load of vmlinuz are fast, normal, like any desktop machine. But, in Lenovo Notebook the loading are very slow. I don't know if have any solution, but reading in some places, this is a BIOS mistake. Some trick that can i fix this delay? -- Zhu Sha Zang

You can disable the player flag, but then you must enable the utils flag which means you want to build the utilities like collectionscanner. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I see it's somehow associated with KDE but it's not on my system. Maybe if amarok was not on your system then this flag could then be disabled? - Mark

Michael George george at mutualdata.com writes: http://localhost:631/ 1.4.7. I have Show printers shared by other systems enabled. I notice that there is no more avahi USE flag for 1.4. I had that enabled for 1.3 and the Macs found the printer automagically. OK so I'm no cups whiz, but, you may want to use the localhost access from a web browser to cups on one of your macs and get printing working on that one particular mac. Then either copy the files to the other macs or individually set up printing from each system. Over the last year, cups has seem to be a bit flaky and I just find it easier to set up printing again rather than debuging the numerous issues with cups. netprint/HPlip solves many problem with HP printers and cups. I have no idea if other software is needed to compliment cups for brands of printers that are not HP. I have no idea why the printing access stop working, but, the above suggestion should result in a fix for printing from your macs. hth, James

As the others have pointed out it's coming, but in the short term you can always gem install directly and continue to use the init scripts that shipped with the portage package. I do the same on Ubuntu w/ Puppet. kashani

Does your dvd drive use a new (small) SATA cable to connect to the motherboard? No, it is conected by the old flat-ribbon cable. If the answer is yes, then your understanding is correct, and your kernel *should* be announcing your dvd hardware in dmesg. I don't see any mention about the dvd-player in dmesg. Are you sure the cables are connected properly to the dvd drive? Are the lights on the dvd drive blinking normally during boot? Yes, it blinks normally. I'm still trying to separate hardware/driver problems from udev problems. What should I do to make the kernel see the dvd-palyer? How to turn on the PATA driver? -- Regards, Alex

SNIP
As a follow-up to your problems, and because I'm just plain interested
in this /dev/null,console question, I decided to create a completely
new Gentoo VM myself from scratch this morning. I'm going FAR more
slowly than usual as, like you, I need to get other things done. Also
that I'd like to understand what the tarball does actually provide,
and also when everything in /dev really comes together correctly. (If
indeed it does come together correctly.)
I'll post back how it's going. My first observation is that the stage3
tarball only provides /dev/null as a normal file and nothing else. I
would guess that this is incorrect as I would think that if the normal
file is there then the special file won't get created later. I've
never studied how the /dev directory gets created so this will be a
learning experience for me.
As for having to get some work done, I completely understand. Just
don't give up on us here in Gentoo land, be we real OR virtual...
Cheers,
Mark
Harry,
I got a few minutes this morning to finish the new Virtualbox VM
test install of Gentoo. It worked fine for me.
If you need any info about this let me know. Here's the main
points, the biggest being the use of DEVTMPFS in the kernel.
If you want the actual kernel config file get in touch off list.
Cheers,
Mark
Notes:
1) I chose the PCNET-OCI II NIC and set it as bridged. 4 processors, 2GB memory
2) /etc/fstab:
tux-test ~ # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / ext3noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 noneswapsw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom autonoauto,ro 0 0
tux-test ~ #
3) I added DEVTMPFS to the kernel config to get around the missing
/dev stuff in the current tarballs:
tux-test ~ # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep CONFIG_DEVTMPFS
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y
tux-test ~ #
4) Interestingly, it boots even though I didn't add udev to sysinit:
tux-test ~ # rc-update show | sort
fsck | boot
mtab | boot
root | boot
sshd | default
swap | boot
devfs | sysinit
dmesg | sysinit
local | default
net.lo | boot
procfs | boot
sysctl | boot
hwclock | boot
keymaps | boot
modules | boot
urandom | boot
bootmisc | boot
hostname | boot
mount-ro | shutdown
net.eth0 | default
netmount | default
killprocs | shutdown
savecache | shutdown
syslog-ng | default
localmount | boot
vixie-cron | default
termencoding | boot
udev-postmount | default
tux-test ~ #
5) World file:
tux-test ~ # cat /var/lib/portage/world
app-admin/logrotate
app-admin/syslog-ng
app-portage/eix
sys-apps/mlocate
sys-apps/pciutils
sys-boot/grub-static
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
sys-process/vixie-cron
tux-test ~ #
6) /etc/make.conf file which I stole from another machine. Some USE
flags do not make sense in this context but they didn't hurt the
build.
tux-test ~ # cat /etc/make.conf

The usual advice I've seen on this list is to boot your machine from a linux rescue CD or installation CD and do lspci -k from there, because the correct kernel driver should already be loaded automatically during the boot. Once you know which driver to use, build your own kernel to use the same driver.
