[gentoo-user] usb not working after suspend to ram

[gentoo-user] Acrobat reader problem

[gentoo-user] xorg upgrade: cannot play video files after suspend to ram

I cannot kill x, get a console or log in remotely, so the only thing I can do is to use the magic key combination to reboot the computer. I cannot find any useful information in any of the log files that could help pinpoint what the cause of the problem is.

[gentoo-user] Installing packages for old Python version

[gentoo-user] gcc not downward compatible?
Hi list, A few days ago I upgraded gcc from 4.1.2 to 4.3.1-r1 (upgrading Eclipse-sdk to the latest ~x86 version made installing gcc 4.3.1-r1 necessary, so I thought I would stick with it on my test box). Now I am re-emerging world and have noticed that a number of packages which compiled fine with the old gcc don't compile with the new version anymore and have to be unmasked in /etc/portage/package.keywords. QT4 is one of them, just to give an example. I don't really mind using the ~x86 version of these packages, but wonder why the old, stable packages won't compile with a newer gcc. Isn't gcc supposed to be downward compatible?

Both laptops used to run Debian and issued beeps in console mode on double tab in bash, etc. I did modify any files to disable beeps, and yes I have unmuted all sound controls.

[gentoo-user] How to boot into single user mode
Hi all, I have a kernel generated with genkernel and do need the initramfs because I am using lvm and luks. Now I am trying to create a second entry in grub.conf that lets me boot into single user mode in an emergency. Of course, adding 1 or single on the kernel line does not work together with an initrd. I followed the advise in the gentoo wiki on booting into single user mode and added: real_init 1 to the kernel line in grub.conf. This however lets my kernel panic on boot. Error: switch_root Bad init '1' Attempt to kill init. Kernel Panic I tried sustituting real_init 1 with real_init single and real_init S1, but get the same result.

How about adding 'init=/bin/bb' to kernel line. I find that softlevel=single works for me Hi, Thanks for both replies. The thing that bugs me about the softlevel option is that the computer apparently enters into the default runlevel first before switching to single. If I do not want to have any of the services running, why would I have to start and stop them all (which might take quite a bit of time considering a computer that is set up for networking via dhcp, but booting up in an environment where there is no network connection.

Let me know if the bb solution works, i'm interested :) best of luck Matt Harrison Ok, I tried the init=/bin/bb solution. It didn't work. Which is probably related to the fact that I am using an initramfs. If I use real_init=/bin/bb, things work howvever. Provided you remount your root filesystem with read/write enabled, this gives you the option to do any maintenance work and then reboot. I guess, if real_init + runlevel ever worked, it does not do any more. real_init takes a command as an argument, not the name of a runlevel. Best, Peter -- Peter Wood Ph. D.
