[gentoo-user] grub 0.97-r18 fails sanity check, stage2 larger than 1MB
I think emerge wants to rebuild grub because of a changed USE flag. [ebuild R] sys-boot/grub-0.97-r18::Skippy USE="ncurses -custom-cflags -netboot -static" KERNEL="(-linux%*)" 0 KiB When doing so it fails. * Sanity check failed: stage2 (/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-0.97-r18/work/grub-0.97/stage2/stage2) is larger than 1MB (268959736 bytes)! * Please check your CFLAGS and/or file a bug report at https://bugs.gentoo.org. * ERROR: sys-boot/grub-0.97-r18::Skippy failed (install phase): * stage2 sanity check failed I've done some googling about and found nothing that helps me out.

I got the message anyhow so can skip the bug. Update on what's happening with this - now it's not behaving nicely. I'm not sure what has changed. With use Youtube-dl enabled updating the feeds is very slow.

[gentoo-user] OT - looking for someone to fix PHP code - paid job
Greetings. I am dealing with a WordPress site that has PHP code written into the theme which needs some fixing. At least I'm 99% sure that's what is going on. Since I don't know PHP I can hardly be certain about it. I'm looking for someone who can look this over, determine what's going on, and fix it. I can pay you via PayPal. You tell me what it will cost. If available and up to the task you can reply to me directly. I'll send you all the information I have so you can look it over, see if the problem is something you can fix, and send me an estimate for your time. I figure I'll either get zero response to this, or 20 responses. *ha* Thanks much! Skippy

[gentoo-user] OT - Midnight Commander and hiding terminal output
Greetings all; I've been googling to no avail on this one. When using Midnight Commander, I'll select a file and hit "enter" thus opening that file with it's associated program. Let's say a mp3 file with VLC as that's one I have set up. It runs, but any error messages from VLC appear in the MC terminal window and force the MC display up the screen, thus rendering it unreadable. I can fix this by exiting VLC and entering "clear" on the command line. Question is, can I hide all terminal messages when MC is running? Does my question & description make sense? Thanks much - Skippy
[gentoo-user] net.eth0 failed to start
INSTALL sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko INSTALL sound/usb/snd-usbmidi-lib.ko DEPMOD 3.12.7-gentoo - But still the same error message. I do have kernel 3.13.5 on this box as well, and I can boot that up and eth0 works just fine. But since 3.13.5 isn't playing well with nvidia I can't just move forward with that. Unless the 3.13.x/nvidia issue has been fixed but I'd rather not experiment until I fix this. Additionally my laptop is using a nvidia legacy driver as it (the laptop) is older than dirt. So I'm gonna have to fix the problem on the laptop. Whew. Long winded. Suggestions please? Thanks. Skippy
[gentoo-user] OT - memory testing
Got a question from a friend of mine who works in IT. He's very new to Linux. Here is his question: Have you ever found a program in linux that allows you to locate bad dims if you have faults? I’ve tried memtest86, memconf, memtester and none of them can point out what slot on the motherboard has the bad RAM. I know usually you just plug in one at a time. But memtest86 takes hours and I have…wait for it….16 slots to test DIMs on for this specific server with memory failure. Any ideas? Is it even possible for the software to know which slot the bad memory is in? He isn't using Gentoo, I think he's on Ubuntu. If you can suggest software we'll deal with the installation. Thanks very much - Skippy

[gentoo-user] how to add an ebuild
Greetings; I'm needing to add an ebuild, but there is something I'm not doing right it seems. I have xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2.ebuild. The file that is. I place it in /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/ I run ebuild xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2.ebuild digest I can see that the file Manifest is altered. also tried ebuild xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2.ebuild manifest as man page says those are equivilant. Then eix-update. Then eix xorg-server - the version I am trying to add does not appear in the output. What am I missing here? Other than my sanity. :) Thanks, Skippy
Re: [gentoo-user] how to add an ebuild
Thanks y'all In addition to not using the local location, I didn't know about the line in make.conf. Done and done.

Thanks so very much, Skippy Some ideas. Your output of emerge -upvND world is hart to read. Add a -t to get a tree view, then one can better see what's pulling in what. I'll do that, thanks. You mention that qt-4 is masked. This is correct, as qt-4 is the old, monolithic package. You need qt-core, qt-dbus and some more of that kind. Qt 3 still exists as single build, so having qt-3.3.8b-r2 installed is okay, although -r2 is keyword masked for me. Maybe you are running ~arch, or x86_64 and this is okay, but I'd check this. yes, I am running ~amd64 In only have qt3support and qt4 in make.conf, you have qt qt3 qt3-support qt3support qt4. Don't knw if this is bad, but it's more than I have. Originally I had fewer of those use flags enabled. I added more as time when by at the suggestion of people on the forum. It hasn't helped obviously, but didn't seem to cause any negative change either. It might be worth my time to try removing some of those, just to see what happens. So, you DID succeed in rebuilding kdelibs-3.5, right? or did you also get errors there? Yes, kdelibs-3.5 will rebuild, as will the kdelibs-4.x. I have run emerge -e on both of them, as well as on world. No problem building anything kde or qt until it gets to that sequence of packages that give the error. You might try to upgrade your portage (put sys-apps/portage in /etc/portage/package.unmask and package.keywords), maybe it is better in resolving this stuff. Right on, worth a try as well. I'll do that. And you can look in your config.log somewhere in /var/tmp/portage/kde- base/libkonq-3.5.10/work/libkonq-3.5.10/, maybe you spot what exactly causes the Qt error. I'll try that too.

[gentoo-user] no audio input
Greetings - I've got a new system, fresh install. Problem I've got in no audio input from the microphone. Trying to record into audacity will not work regardless of which alsa device I select, or mic/line in. If I try to record with rezound I'll get a message saying static ASoundRecorder* ASoundRecorder::createInitializedSoundRecorder (CSound*) -- No audio input method could be initialized I can play sound. Audacity and amarok will play. I've run alsamixer and kmix to turn up unmute the microphone. The hardware works with WindowsXP, this is a dual boot system. Audio is Intel, on the motherboard. The board is MSI X58 Platinum model MS-7522 I'm baffled and more than a little ticked off. Grrr... Any suggestions please? Thanks.

[gentoo-user] deep emerge and masked Xorg
Hi all,
I would like to use emerge -D on my system, but it is pretty
consistently blocked. You can see an example of this below.
I think the reason for this is because I have masked Xorg. I'm still
running 1.3.0.0-r6. My last attempt to upgrade Xorg resulted in a
totally hosed system which had to be restored from backups.
Is there a way I can do a deep emerge and have the latest versions of
Xorg masked? Or is such an action simply not possible without
upgrading Xorg?
Thanks much, Skippy

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been
pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy =x11-base/xorg-server-1.4 have
been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to

Re: [gentoo-user] amarok will not emerge - solved
Found out the problem and fixed it. See the forum for details: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-781796.html I needed to prune old versions of gcc. Thanks y'all. Skippy
Re: [gentoo-user] amarok will not emerge
Yes, I've run it multiple times. Since amarok will not compile it doesn't help much. Amarok is the only thing that needs to be rebuilt.
