Re: [gentoo-user] gnome not working
TLDR: because systemd replaces consolekit with logind, programs that depend on consolekit to determine which session they're in may fail to do so unless they are also built with systemd support and the relevant pam session lines are enabled. This causes several silent failures and may prevent your desktop from starting. Possible Cause: If you're using systemd, you may have built some gnome components with systemd support. This _disables_ consolekit support on those components, hence failures when booting outside of systemd. Try rebuilding polkit-gnome and any other gnome components with systemd support. This makes them use systemd-logind instead of consolekit. I don't use my system without systemd, but I suspect that you also have to start dbus and the (HORROR) systemd-logind service. _Someone ought to write a systemd-logind init script for enterprising gentoo users_. As it doesn't accept any arguments, I expect that it's as easy as the _completely untested_ one I have attached. Have fun! I can't wait to hear the excitement on this list on that, haha - but logind, like udev, should be able to work without systemd, which is why ubuntu is considering it. - http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_itempx=MTMyMDE === BEGIN ADVENTURES I just recently fixed some woes I was having with starting an X session from lightdm. I am also on systemd. I got similar errors to the top post, X logs ending with server terminator successfully immediately after I perform a login attempt. I _also_ noticed that my X server died every time I switched virtual terminals, and I was unable to go back. This started a painstaking process of blind debugging, following this path: 1) start Xorg manually. is successful. === Xorg === note: dies when I VT switch back. 2) start Xorg manually and run a program in it. is successful. === export DISPLAY=:0 Xorg terminator === note: also dies when I VT switch back. I suspected that this had something to do with multiseat support. The idea was that my system does something when I VT switch, and I suspected that whatever it was killed my X. 3) start Xorg manually and run a session in it. is successful. === export DISPLAY=:0 Xorg gnome-session --session=unity === notes: - unity downloaded from unity-gentoo overlay. - have not been able to completely emerge -uDNtv emerge -ctav in a week or so, so I expected problems. - dies when I VT switch back - mounting external hard disks fail with Not authorized to perform action - changing settings on Network manager also failed. I expected there to be a login prompt, but no prompt appeared. I'd experienced Not authorized to perform action before. It was a message that I got from policykit. So I suspected that my programs were failing to connect to policykit. (Not really experienced with polkit). After reading some manual pages [1][2][3][4][5] in policykit, I prepared another test. [1] polkit(8) [2] pkaction(1) [3] pkcheck(1) [4] pkexec(1) [5] pkttyagent(1) 4) Try running the failing commands using pkcheck/pkexec. They still fail. /usr/share/polkit-1/actions contains a list of actions available to policykit. You can also get a list of actions by running pkaction I determined that the relevant policy kit action to mount hard disks was org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount To test the mount command, I used pkcheck, then pkexec. pkcheck tries to perform a policykit action directly and reports success or failure based on exit status. It needs a policykit action name and the PID of the session. === pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount --process $(pgrep gnome-session) === pkcheck complains that Authorization requires authentication and -u wasn't passed. Upon passing -u, pkcheck then complains that no authentication agent was available. An authentication agent is the program that generates a popup requiring login. I found this part suspicious, so I tried to activate an authentication agent. 5) Try running the failing commands with a dummy authentication agent. They now succeed. policykit comes with a builtin authentication agent. pkcheck has a --enable-internal-agent option which automatically produces a password prompt. Alternatively, you can run pkttyagent --process PID_OF_SOME_BASH_SESSION in one terminal, and any pkexec'd commands in that terminal will produce a login prompt on the pkttyagent terminal. === pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount --process $(pgrep gnome-session) --enable-internal-agent --allow-user-interaction === A login prompt appears, asking me what username I wish to login as. This suggests that _policykit is working_, but _gnome's policykit agent_ isn't. 6) Try to do everything again after emerging polkit-gnome is emerged with systemd support. They now succeed. I still can't get lightdm to work (still recompiling stuff)... but gdm now works just fine, and now I have my desktop working. Note that your /etc/pam.d/system-auth and system-session are expected to

Thanx to chithanh for this life-saving oneliner (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7053126.html). Greetings, Daniel That didnt help the gcc-config error, and also i notice that there's bits of 4.7.2 still around; # ls -l /lib64/libgcc* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 88720 May 16 21:13 /lib64/libgcc_s-4.7.2-20121109.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root28 May 17 01:19 /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 - libgcc_s-4.7.2-20121109.so.1 That's weird, I have no such libraries in /lib64 and qlist =gcc-4.7.2-r1 shows no files whatever installed in /lib64.

When I boot from the system rescue cd, at boot time it is being switch to a higher resolution, which I want to have on my default system as well. Can somebody of you tell me, how to accomplish this task?! Possible solutions that you can google for more details: kernel modesetting (if you don't use nvidia-drivers) uvesafb vesafb fbterm (a userland program) jfbterm (like fbterm focused on multilingual/utf8 support) You may also want or need to install gpm for console mouse support

Re: [gentoo-user] gcc4.7.2-r1 to 4.7.3 upgrade - hosed system?
# gcc-config 2 * Switching native-compiler to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.7.3 ... /usr/bin/python2.7: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This is a bug in gcc-config: It removes the old link too early so that the tools needed to establish the new link do not work anymore. IIRC correctly, there was a bug reported, but apparently it is still not fixed. To repair it manually you must temporarily create the old link. Here are detailed instruction how to do this: 1. Since tools like ln -s will not work, it is best to use busybox. So first start busybox (e.g. bb or bb sh depending on your setup). 2. Then go to the gcc library parent directory: On amd64 this should be cd /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu On i686 this is instead cd /usr/lib/gcc/i686* On other architectures, I don't know. 3. Create the symlink from your old directory to the new. Given the subject, I guess this should be: ln -s 4.7.3 4.7.2 4. Now gcc-config should work 5. Remove the symlink again rm 4.7.2 6. Run your env-update as usual and resource the profile 7. Test that gcc-config is still working (it should).
Re: [gentoo-user] New firefox-bin-21.0: bug or feature?
On Thursday 16 May 2013 08:02:48 PM IST, walt wrote: Portage just updated firefox-bin to 21.0, and after that I had no firefox plugins. Finally I discovered that the new version apparently ignores the traditional symlink /opt/firefox/plugins-/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins I worked around it by creating my own symlink ~/.mozilla/plugins- and all the plugins are working again. Maybe this will save some time for you. Dunno if this a bug or not. I guess it's a bug / change by upstream which has gone unnoticed by maintainer of the ebuild. File @ bgo.
