[gentoo-user] x11-base/xorg-server does not want to update
Hello,
As part of my update procedure I do a "eclean-dist --destructive
--verbose" at the end when everything is updated and runs OK.
Since some weeks I am getting the following message when running
eclean-dist (I was thinking this maybe would resolve it self after a
while...): "The following unavailable installed packages were found
x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.11".
This is happening on two different machines with different GPU-Cards.
One with an AMD/ATI (Radeon) and one with Intel+NVIDIA
(the output below is from the AMD/ATI machine).
Looking at "eix x11-base/xorg-server" it shows me that there is an
update from 1.20.11 to 1.20.13-r1 available, but when I run "emerge
--verbose --ask --oneshot x11-base/xorg-server --verbose-conflicts"

[gentoo-user] Daily update fails
Today when I tried to do my daily "emerge --update ... @world", portage spitted out a lot of "Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled" messages. I thought this could be due to the depreciation of python3_6 so I added */* PYTHON_TARGETS: python3_6 python3_7 */* PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET: -* python3_6 ,as per the news item published, to my package.use and now I get the following instead: !!!

What I think about it is that I object to you wasting your
time by submitting bug reports to KDE. It will be a
net-loss for humanity in the grand scheme of things and the
long term survival of life forms.
Because, you'll never get a bug "fixed" with KDE, since, by
definition, everything that KDE does is a workaround. It's
just that they speak a different language, very similar to
English (kde_EN), where "fix" means "workaround".
Technically, KDE cannot make a "fix" and exist at the same
time. In other words, the concepts "bug fix" and "KDE
exists" are mutually exclusive.
IMO the best thing to do, which is also what I think can be
called "fix" without unethically redefining words in the
English language, is to silently unmerge all KDE's fluff,
and install i3 + dmenu + i3status + i3lock, and call it a
day.
If found the issue on my rigs.
In ${HOME}/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc I had for the
Desktop layout in the [Containments][1] section the following:
"plugin=org.kde.desktopcontainment"
If I change this to "plugin=org.kde.plasma.folder" my Left-Click action
works again.
If I change it back, then it stops working again - so I looks like this
is a "issue".
@Caveman Al Toraboran: If you do not like KDE, that is fine with me, BUT
then, you do NOT have to "pollute" the thread with your opinions if they
do nothing to solve this KDE issue.

Greetings, Instead of recreating all your user settings, I'd start by diffing the two users directories. This would point to files which are probably irrelevant to your issue, e.g. application files, and consequently leave you with some generic desktop configuration files to compare. Plus, this may be a good time to rename the config directory to .old and copy one or two files over at a time until you find a failure. Then you know which file is causing the problem and can restore the other files and only have to reconfigure what that one file creates. Either way you do this it will require some time and effort. Mick's idea may be faster. Files with no difference won't matter so no point copying them over one or two at a time. Just do that for the ones that are different. Keep in mind, you can't always do this with different users unless you change the permissions. Post what, if anything, you figure out tho. It may help some other poor soul with the same issue.

[gentoo-user] "Application Menu" missing on Desktop after KDE/Plasma update from 5.16.5 to 5.17.4
After updating KDE/Plasma from 5.16.5 to 5.17.4 "Left Button"
(Application Launcher) does not work anymore. Nothing happens when I
"Left Click" on the Desktop. The other actions ("Right Button", "Middle
Button" and "Vertical Scroll") works as they should.
This happens on two machines of mine (the two with KDE/Plasma).
This is really annoying as this is the main way I launch new programs.
Any suggestion?

[gentoo-user] g-cpan equivalent for python
I have a piece of python software (gigasetelements-cli, https://github.com/dynasticorpheus/gigasetelements-cli) that I would like to install/try, and of cause there is not ebuild for this. The recommended way to install it is using pip which will then install everything including dependencies (which could lead to conflicts with software installed using emerge (I guess)).

apparently not handle something else than "C" (or empty).

were updated at the same time) I have a problem executing "shutdown -r

When I execute "shutdown -r now" in the vm the shutdown process runs
perfect until "Remounting root-filesystem readonly" and than it hangs
and I have to "Force Power Off" to reboot.
Any suggestion what could be wrong and what I can do to solve it?

consisten with CPAN
(http://search.cpan.org/dist/Nagios-Object/lib/Nagios/Object.pm)
After downloading and unpacking the tar-file the "ebuild" is created:
8<-

to /usr/portage/distfiles
* Ebuild generated for Nagios-Object
8<-
BUT, when portage tries to emerge this "ebuild" it tries to download a
'47' version, which of-cause does not exist.

(in /usr/portage/distfiles/ there is a Nagios-Object-0.21.20.tar.gz file).
How can I convince g-cpan to use the 0.21.20 version and not '47'?
Or make g-cpan NOT to clean its temporarily created ebuild (so I can
modify it by hand)?

User running emerge is root.
This is what my /var/tmp/portage looks like (when no emerge is running)
-8<-
# find /var/tmp/portage/ -type d -exec ls -pald {} +
drwxrwxrwt 5 portage portage 4096 Mar 26 17:53 /var/tmp/portage//

This looks the same as on my other systems with the exception of the
.distcc (as this is the only system using distcc).
The .distcc is automatically created when emerging and distcc is enabled.

The most likely reason the news item doesn't list the specific prompt text (or even the category) is that, across even sub release versions of the kernel those are prone to change (and, at times, drastically) while the actual CONFIG_name option tends to be fairly static through time once it exists (even when superseded by new toys, i.e. older IDE/ATA/ATAPI options vs newer PATA options).

Hi Dan,
Thank you very much! That is very helpful.
What if I want to change the behaviour of sysinit runlevel? Where
can I change it to another new runlevel for specific kernel version?
BTW, the services I want to disable is udev{,-mount} for kernel-2.16.31.
Sorry, I can not help you there.

So, again - why would you prefer switching distro's over merging /usr back into / and be done with it? The reason is the same I have posted before. I have / and /boot on regular partitions. Everything else is on LVM. I don't have / on LVM because it would require a init thingy. I don't have /boot on LVM because grub doesn't or didn't support it. I have since switched to grub2 so it may but still have the issue with / so no need redoing everything for that. Well, I don't see a *reason* to WANT to have /usr on a separate partition. I see only THE reason that you have it there NOW. Also, logically speaking, if the stated reason for not having / (or /boot) on separate LVM partitions is because it would require an init thingy, then why can't you simply add /usr to that reason? Again, I'm asking for why you WANT it on a separate LVM partition, not why it is there now. The way I see it, if y ou cannot provide a rational answer to that question, then there is no reason for you to use this as a reason to abandon gentoo, only a reason to merge /usr into /... Simple, I have never had to resize / or /boot before. I have had to resize /usr, /var and /home several times tho. THAT is the reason. For me, it doesn't matter if it is rational to YOU or not. I am the one doing things on my puter not you or anyone else. If the init thingy fails, that will be me staring at a error message, not you. I agree to 100% with you Dale. I have /usr on a separate LVM partition (I only have, as you, / and /boot on regular partitions) to be able to easily extend it (which I have been forced to do a few times).

We are looking to build a fiber san using IET and glusterFS, and was wondering what kind of luck people where having using this approach, or any for that matter. the question is, what are you doing with it and why do you think you need a fibre channel SAN. Our goal indeed is to get rid of the SAN infrastructure as it is delicately to all kinds of failure with nearly zero fault tolerance. An example, you have an hicup or a power failure in your network. SAN is dead from nowon and must be reinitialized on the server. Simple NFS comes back up without any fuzz. Another, you boot your storage systems due to an os update or something like that. Your SAN will be dead. NFS will just go on as if nothing happened. We use netapp storage systems which are NAS and SAN capable. Another point is, that if you have a SAN lun, there is either no way to increase or decrease size on the fly, on cifs or nfs you can resize your share on the go. So if you do not have a _really_ good reason to use a fribre channel SAN, don't! Hello, I tend to disagree. A correctly designed SAN (using dual Fabric among other things) is a lot more stable and has a lot better performance than any NAS (NFS, CIFS, iSCSI) solution. One other thing that also needs to be correctly configured to have a stable SAN infrastructure is the servers on it (Multipathing, partition alignment, queue depth, ...) according to the storage vendors recommendation.

Any suggestion how to keep my old names and order? Udev, as of version 187, will now refuse to rename a network interface to the name of a network interface that already exists -- which, due to race conditions, can be the case if you are attempting to rename a network device to a name the kernel will later use to name the next enumerated device. The fix for this issue is to *not* use names that match eth[0-9]*, wlan[0-9]*, etc. and instead use a name that the kernel would *not* automatically assign. Unfortunately, that means that you *cannot* keep your old names and order (upstream claims that the means used to ensure those names were used was unreliable and prone to race conditions anyway, which, looking at the code, I can believe). This is great... (I hope you can hear the irony) OK, so I removed the two udev rules (70-persistent-net and 80-net-name-slot) files, thinking if this is the way the upstream devs are going then I have to check it out. That's the smart thing to do. After removing the udev-rules and rebooting I got my two new network interfaces called enp0s4 and enp0s5 (no idea what that is supposed to mean). http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/tree/src/udev/udev-builtin-net_id.c Basically, en is for ethernet, p is for PCI bus, and 0s4 and 0s5 is for the topology of the cards in your machine: the cards are in the PCI bus number 0, slot number 4 and 5. In other words, if you do find /sys -name enp0s4, I'm betting you will get something like: /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1c.1/:00:004.0/net/enp0s4 The :00:004.0 is the part that determines the naming of yout device. This naming is deterministic: as long as you don't move the cards from PCI slot, they will be named like that always. My next step was to replace eth0 with enp0s5 and eth1 with enp0s4 in /etc/conf.d(net and create two new links (net.lo - net.enp0s[45]) in /etc/init.d Now I could start the two network interfaces (/etc/init.d/net.enp0s[45] start). BUT, as soon as I try to start some service (sshd, ntpd, ...) that is using the network I get a lot of complains that eth0 and eth1 is not started (and can not be started) and the service wont start. What have I missed??? Do you have net.eth0 or net.eth1 in /etc/rc.conf? No, but I still had the links in /etc/init.d/. Removing those and adding lins for enp0s[45] did the trick.

Udev, as of version 187, will now refuse to rename a network interface to the name of a network interface that already exists -- which, due to race conditions, can be the case if you are attempting to rename a network device to a name the kernel will later use to name the next enumerated device. The fix for this issue is to *not* use names that match eth[0-9]*, wlan[0-9]*, etc. and instead use a name that the kernel would *not* automatically assign. Unfortunately, that means that you *cannot* keep your old names and order (upstream claims that the means used to ensure those names were used was unreliable and prone to race conditions anyway, which, looking at the code, I can believe). This is great... (I hope you can hear the irony) OK, so I removed the two udev rules (70-persistent-net and 80-net-name-slot) files, thinking if this is the way the upstream devs are going then I have to check it out. After removing the udev-rules and rebooting I got my two new network interfaces called enp0s4 and enp0s5 (no idea what that is supposed to mean). My next step was to replace eth0 with enp0s5 and eth1 with enp0s4 in /etc/conf.d(net and create two new links (net.lo - net.enp0s[45]) in /etc/init.d Now I could start the two network interfaces (/etc/init.d/net.enp0s[45] start). BUT, as soon as I try to start some service (sshd, ntpd, ...) that is using the network I get a lot of complains that eth0 and eth1 is not started (and can not be started) and the service wont start.

[gentoo-user] Dual-monitor setup changed after update - Monitors half swapped
Hi, Yesterday I did an emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y world --pretend as usual (about two weeks since doing the last one). During this upgrade a few X-related libs and programs got updated (list below). After this upgrade I have a strange problem with my dual-monitor setup - the monitors are half-swapped. Let me explain what I mean with half-swapped: I have two monitors setup on my system, acting as one big desktop (KDE by the way). On each monitor I have some icons and widgets (different icons and widgets on each monitor). Before when I moved my mouse to the right edge of the left monitor and it continued over to the left edge of the right monitor (as you normally wold would have it in a dual-monitor setup). After the upgrade it is like this: On each monitor the correct icons and widgets are there (the icons and widgets of my left monitor is still on the left monitor, and the same for the right one). BUT: Now I have to move my mouse to the left edge of the left monitor to have it to jump to the right edge of the right monitor. This is a little bit confusing to say the least. What I also have noticed is the the KDE-Pager shows the open windows on the wrong side of the desktop-icon.

[gentoo-user] KDE Upgrade (4.7.4 - 4.8.1) changes behavior of new tab button in Konsole
Yesterday I did the upgrade of KDE (4.7.4 - 4.8.1) on my stable workstation. Now the new tab button in Konsole opens a new tab with the _default_ profile instead of opeing a new tab with the _current_ profile like it did before. This is most annoying as I have one profile for each machine/user I manage and until now I could just click the new tab button and get a new window on the host that I am currently logged into. Is there any parameter to restore the old behavior or is this hard-coded (I really hope not or I will have to start looking for a new terminal emulator with tabs that work like I want it). -- Dan Johansson, http://www.dmj.nu *** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***
