Well, for one thing, I do not want to use wayland at all, it conflicts
with accessibility, and if I enable the wayland flag (and I had to
enable it on a few more packages and get dev-libs/wayland which I
never had) I get the following:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

You'll need Joomla 3.5 at least.

Or if you want some unsolicited advice and you're not picky about the

require manual intervention, extensions are hard to write, and there's a
culture of paid support for things that should just work.

Your error is due to Joomla, not apache.  I also recommend you give Joomla a
wide berth and use Drupal instead, or select a responsive design static
template from the interwebs.  There are a few free templates around which will
do a fine job for a simple website.


If I may piggyback on the recommendations:

Pelican (powered by Python) is a very powerful static site generator, 
and deployment is basically whatever you want it to be. Pages are 
basically plaintext (markdown or asciidoc by default iirc) and the theme 
(template + CSS) is completely separate from the content. It supports 
translation with standard gettext, too. I use it to power my personal 
site. I write posts, commit and push remotely, and use a post-commit 
hook to rsync the generated HTML into the webroot. If that sounds cool, 
check it out. [1] It might meet your needs.


If you must go PHP, you might want to take a look at the PHP-FIG[2] 
(Framework Interoperability Group). I can't say I'm 100% in favor of 
their decisions, but their work has led to some standardization in the 
PHP world and you might find more modern tools through them.


Best of luck with your site, Peter!

Hi all,

thanks a lot for all help! :)

Currently I am ddresucueing the flashcard to the harddisc.
Next I will try to mount the sdcard.

What reliable sdcard-reader can one recommend ?

Re: [gentoo-user] Online hosting recommendation - VMs?

[Jigme Datse Yli-RAsku]

Linode just updated their gentoo image, it works out of the box (I failed to 
get the previous version to work, but if I had been willing to put a week into 
getting it working, as with most things Gentoo, probably no problem).  Their 
1024 (I think) VM should be able to do way more than your in the cupboard 
machine.  I'd like to know if other people have other solutions.

[gentoo-user] Online hosting recommendation - VMs?

[Stroller]

Hello,

In the next few weeks I need to move my email server (a very old Gentoo 
installation) from the closet in my home, into the cloud so that I can go 
travelling and access my mail from anywhere.

I've never used VM's before, but my understanding is that they look just like a 
normal machine to the users inside them, and there shouldn't be any problem 
with me getting used to them. My current mail server is an old 700mhz Pentium 
III (I think), so performance is unimportant. I guess VM's have some kind of 
web or VNC console I can log into for the initial install (and if I screw up 
remote access)?

1. Are these suppositions right?
2. Any recommendations for cheap / reliable hosting providers, please?

I expect to use Gentoo because I've hardly used any other distro for years, and 
find others less intuitive. 

Thanks,

Stroller.

[gentoo-user] Installing asdf & uiop without urged to install sbcl / update package.provided for each version

[tuxic]

Hi,

I am installing sbcl directly from the authors source,
because I want the then created pdf docs (emerge
only installs html docs).

I emerge sbcl, asfd, uiop with emerge, bootstrapped/installed
sbcl manually to /usr/local, emerge -C sbcl, depcleaned asdf
uiop (and other stuff) and emerged asdf, uiop again, which
put an entry of them into world and depclean will no long
offer them for removing.

But asdf, uiop alone make no sense in the eyes of emerge
and it pulls sbcl again -- which is reasonable for one
not looking additionally at /usr/local :)

There is package.provided to give emerge the OK, to
not longe speculate about the existence the world and everything
and take 42 things as given.
But as far as I understood the syntax there, one has
to specify any single version of a package and if you miss
one it gets installed.

Masking a needed package (from emerge point of view) isn't
that nice also, since with every sync one will get that
nasty warnings, that a needed package is masked.

Any clean way around this?

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!
Cheers

[gentoo-user] About the MATE desktop applications menu

[Harry Putnam]

Just curious is anyone else running the mate desktop has this same
shortfall.

Usually in the Applications menu top right the last item on the menu
is a `run' command item where you can type in a command to be run.

My fairly recently installed mate dt does not have that.  Wondered if
others have that item in their `applications' menu.

Or maybe there is some other bit of MATE I have yet to install.

Hi,

What are your useflags for x11-libs/gtk+? I think that you must enable

That was a guess on my behalf - i know that M2 disks can come in SATA or

gsd-device-manager-udev.c:27:28: fatal error: gdk/gdkwayland.h: No
such file or directory

I do have -wailan as a use flag (there by default), so this doesn't
make too much sense.

What can I do, or should I file a bug?

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Step 1: dd the contents into an image

ddrescue is probably a better option than plain dd.

step 2: put the sdcard to one side.

Yep, once you've got the image mounted loopback, you can run
testdisk/photorec depending on how bad it is.

Yes, the thought crossed my mind.  ;-)

It is smaller as a package as you noted, but it is running gnomey stuff like 
/usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 and perhaps 
/usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher, which I am not sure I need.

Either way, if I were to start enlightenment with startx and skip using a DM 
altogether, is there a way of starting enlightenment and ensuring it has the 
appropriate access rights to run udisks2 and OpenGL?

There must have been something before this. Show the full output, which
tells us exactly what portage wants to do, and use -v so all USE flags

I still suspect a USE flag mismatch here. What does

grep -r udev /etc/portage

show?
 
To repeat what I said before, a virtual and the package satisfying it
must have matching USE flags. If your flags for virtual/libudev and eudev
don't match, portage will try to install the default for libudev, which
is udev. That then causes a conflict as you can't have udev and libudev
installed at the same time.

You can try to recover some data with photorec (part of 
testdisk).

Btw.: If it is a microsd card I would put it into an 
microsd-to-sd adapter. I made some strange experiences
with different types of card readers when I used microsd
cards directly without an adapter.

I have been looking at this as my MS surface (built in nvme) has been

successfully hibernate to disk (and put extra delays in the initrd) on a 
surface you have to boot on a single cpu (maxcpus=1) and then turn on 
the rest once past the resume or before the suspend stages.  If booting 
with all cpu's enabled the queues are as expected.


Is there a way to manipulate the queues themselves in a similar way to 
individual cpu's?

Sounds to me like your card is dead. I've had this happen to several
SSDs too by the way, they fail the same way. One minute it works, the
next it's dead. It's why I don't keep anything valuable on SSDs. They're
way too unpredictable for my tastes.

I think q0 is the "administrative" queue, and the other 8 are ordinary
queues.  (Sorry, I read that somewhere, but can't remember where).

It wasn't right.

I didn't have MSI enabled, but do now.  I now get 5 queues (nvmeq[0-4])
on four interrups, and the interrupts are spread over the four cores
(I've got a 4 core Athlon).

Yes, that is the case.  From a "warm start", I was able to copy my 1.4GB
file in 2.76s.  This is a bit more like it!

I don't think the SSD has a SATA interface.

My $ hdparm -tT /dev/nvme0n1 speeds haven't improved since enabling MSI
in the kernel.

But I'm intending to build a new machine "soon" (depending on when I can
get a suitable Ryzen motherboard), and will put this NVMe SSD into the
new box.  I have to decide whether to get another one of these NVMe SSDs
to run as RAID-1, or whether to put swap, /usr, etc. on it, and build a
RAID-1 from two cheaper SATA SSDs.

with ncurses above, portage says it needs ncurses version >5.2-r2 with 
subslot 0/5 and unicode set in USE. It doesn't say WHY it needs it, only 
that it does, but something in your system configs prevents it.


Start with:
grep -r unicode /etc/portage
grep -r ncurses /etc/portage

That tends to show quickly why you have a USE unset or if ncurses is 
blocked somehow

This one is usually caused by mismatched USE flags on the virtual and the
choice you have installed. Make sure virtual/libudev and eudev have the
same USE flags, otherwise portage will try to install udev instead.

These means nothing out of context, we don't know which profile, and
therefore default USE flags, you are using. The output from emerge --info
is more useful.


Thanks for the input. I always struggle with these blockers and how to read 
them.



Let me help you with that.

Portage output often gives you "slot conflicts" plus a crapton of 
console output obviously designed by narcissist graving attention (there 
is so MUCH of it, all decorated with alarming !! and ** and whatnot). 
Everyone agrees it must be changed but no-one is prepared to do the 
work. So we learn to live with it.


Blockers never appear in that output. A blocker is a blocker if it shows 
up in the list of stuff t be merged prefixed with

[ B] or
[ b]

All that later stuff is portage telling you (via a core dump) WHY it 
did what it did. It's full of junk too :-) SO what does it actually tell 
you? Well, making up some version names to make the point clear:


I need to install okular
 because kde is in world
   I can choose SLOT 4 or 5
 5 is preferred because it is latest
   but I can't go to 5 because of something with kde-libs
 [huge dump of output supposed to make the reason for decision 
before this one clearer]

   therefore you are getting okular-16.08.3

And that's about as far as thinking in a general template fashion is 
ever going to get you, especially when portage's decisions involve your 
choice of USE.


When that happens, you have to read all of it, line by line, carefully, 
twice. Or thrice. And then it makes sense.


Try it some time. Work through every line of that output, open the 
relevant ebuild for each and study what is in it. See why portage mad 
that decision, and move onto the next line.


It all eventually makes some form of sense.

And yes, it is way more info that it should be, leaving you only two 
choices:

- don't fix it, but learn to read it
- decide to fix it, do so, commit the patch, and be everyone's hero

[gentoo-user] The sudden disappearance of ....WHAT??? (I/O error on a SD flash card?!)

[tuxic]

Hi,

(Running Gentoo Linux on a 4.9.17 vanilla (ftp.kernel.org) Linux
kernel)

I was doing a backyp of a 64GB SAMSUNG flash card to my
harddiskwhich runs for quite a while...

For that I mount the partitions and tarred their contents as root
to the harddisk

Syddenly out of nothing/from nowhere/into thin air or whatever:
read errors happens and the process stops.

First I thought of the one an most hated failure of harddisks, which
in years of deveopment of computer technology no company was able to
fix: No space left on device.

But - no,,,the error was a _READ_ error and a 'ls' of the mountpoints
shownothing but empty directories.

I tried to unmount/remount the sd card and got this output:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2,
   missing codepage or helper program, or other error

   In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
   dmesg | tail or so.

dmesg gives me:
[  236.021878] UDF-fs: warning (device sdb2): udf_fill_super: No partition 
found (2)


UDF??? --  Those partitions are either ext4 or vfat.
(A tried that with and without the -t option...)

fdisk -l /dev/sdb gave me:
Device Boot Start   End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1   32768  73433087 73400320   35G 83 Linux
/dev/sdb273433088 100696063 27262976   13G 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3   100696064 125042687 24346624 11.6G 83 Linux

So -- the partition table is still there (I had booted the PC
in between...so these are no ghosts of an abondomed cache...)

If a certain kernel module woyld be missing I wouldn't not
able to mount the partition right before starting the backyp
- but I could.

The partition table is there so this part of "DMESG predicts"
is also not applicable here.

What happens here? Flash killed? Is there any chance to rescye
some or all contents of that card? Any ideas other than
hoping for an alternate reality?

Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

Cheers
Meino

Your files look OK to me so I have no idea why you get those erro.

You also say lightdm wrks correctly, so lookee here:

The on that works is smaller and lighter than the one that doesn't.

I say dump sddm and stick with lightdm which works :-)

Your error is due to Joomla, not apache.  I also recommend you give Joomla a 
wide berth and use Drupal instead, or select a responsive design static 
template from the interwebs.  There are a few free templates around which will 
do a fine job for a simple website.

I don't know about Seamonkey, but it is available for Firefox. It's a bit of 
an eye-opener too. I had no idea how many people are out there keeping watch 
over all our journeys around the web.

Ah, yes, I see what you mean.

For the moment I think I'll just cogitate quietly. Thanks for the idea,

[gentoo-user] Difficulty setting up apache, php and joomla

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

I'm setting up a new little box to be a web development server, to develop a 
new website for my choir. I have it running with the old site, hand-crafted 
from HTML and CSS, but after installing joomla into the new site and on 
attempting to open index.php to configure it, as instructed, I get this in 
/var/log/apache2/error_log:

I thought I'd set it up right, but clearly I haven't. Is anyone willing to 
help me find my error, please?

The web guides to Apache and PHP on Gentoo are confusing, contradictory and

- and start again at the beginning, repeatedly..

Any pointers gratefully received; thank you.

I did not "snip" any relevant information. I try to run:

emerge --update -q --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y --tree  @system

and there are no blockers showing up but a slot conflict.

[gentoo-user] Strange IPv6 behaviour

[Alarig Le Lay]

Hi,

On one of my machines, I have two public IPv6 from two different
providers (one natively, another by VPN). I use ip -6 rule to make both
pingable.

I see some strange things on the native one. It stops responding from
time to time. Here are some examples of mtr:
https://paste.swordarmor.fr/raw/mXVT

At this time, the other IPv6 (bulbizarre.swordarmor.fr) works normally.

And if I do the same test on another machine in the same LAN, no loss:
https://paste.swordarmor.fr/raw/XGbK 

I have this routing table:
alarig@bulbizarre ~ $ ip -6 rule list 
0:  from all lookup local 
31010:  from 2a01:cb08:898c:fc00:9913:b7a:b9bf:d30c lookup 3215

I’m using the kernel 4.9.16-gentoo.

I’m running out of ideas, so I ask for your help :)

This one is usually caused by mismatched USE flags on the virtual and the
choice you have installed. Make sure virtual/libudev and eudev have the
same USE flags, otherwise portage will try to install udev instead.

These means nothing out of context, we don't know which profile, and
therefore default USE flags, you are using. The output from emerge --info
is more useful.

too many !!! and *** and ### characters to alarm you needlessly, but it
