[gentoo-user] Errors with External eSATA Drive (DRDY ERR / ICRC ABRT)
Hello,
I keep running into errors while using an external eSATA drive. I have
searched for information regarding this issue, and there just is not
much out there. The best information I've seen mentions that a user was
having this issue, but it went away as long as the disk was connected to
the system at boot. That is not the case for me.
System information:
- Dell XPS 420
- Intel Q6600 cpu
- 4GB ram
- Seagate FreeAgent pro external 500GB disk (USB/Firewire/eSATA)
- lspci: 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA
RAID Controller (rev 02)
- Note: I am not using the RAID functionality.
Software:
- Gentoo Linux
- Kernel: 2.6.25.8 vanilla, self-configured and installed
- Kernel config: http://fire-eyes.org/t/config-2.6.25.8-062708.txt
Reading the disk, things behave fine. When it's written to for a short
period, that is when errors begin to happen. An audible click can be
heard from the drive, transfers stop, and after a short pause, transfers
resume. This continues in a loop, with the clicking happening every 7
seconds or so. There appears to be no damage to the filesystem or
written files, everything just gets put on hold for a few seconds.
Curiously, this does not happen if I attach the disk with USB. I don't
have a firewire cable to try. The eSATA cable is six feet (1.8 meters)
long. Personally, I was a little surprised at how long this cable is; I
searched for a shorter one, and found none. I plan on trying a different
cable when I get around to it.
Here is a short collection of the errors seen when connected via eSATA
(no issues when using USB):

I want to ask, which graphic cards are better supported in Linux. I know that ATI have freed or in the process of freeing their graphic cards driver. But I did not have any good memory from my previous experience with ATI. My previous card was ATI radeon 9600m and it never worked the way it had to until broken. I want to know, what is the current status of ATI drivers in Linux? Does the problems have been solved? Can they compete with Nvidia? And I want to know which one is better supported in Linux kernel regardless of how much open/free the drivers is. I'm currently thinking between Nvidia Quadro fx 1700 and Ati firegl 5600. Does anyone have any comment about them? ATI's drivers have been buggy to the point that I avoid them 100% of the time when using linux. In multiple systems, using their drivers means that my system will hard hang 100% of the time when exiting xorg in any way. Such as logging out, killing xorg, rebooting, etc. Nvidias drivers are far more stable in linux, I would strongly suggest going that route. I do not know the specifics of those cards, sorry. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] [OT] Tip: Firefox: Mouse Wheel Left/Right for History
Hello, Just ran across a nifty trick for firefox, and wanted to get it on the list, as well as searched by search engines. Hope this is useful. I enabled my mouse wheels left-right functionality, however, it was reversed to xorg. So I flipped it in xorgs config. Seamonkey got it right somehow, left-tilt of the wheel meant back in history, right-tilt meant forward in history. Firefox, however, needed some help. First off, firefox is set to scroll left/right on a page (such as an image/page larger than your screen) by default, which is what you'd expect. But how often do you need to do that? Myself, not often. To get firefox to use the tilt as back/forward (left/right respectively) to do history like seamonkey, you have to dive into about:config , but it's very easy. The changes take effect immediately, no restarting needed. Change the following values like so: 1) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action int 2 If you find that left takes you forward in history, and right takes you backwards in history, reverse the action. This is likely if you had to reverse the behavior in xorg. Set these two as shown: 2) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines int -1 3) mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines bool false -- Fieldy -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Hibernate / Suspend Problems on a Desktop
Hello, I just got a new Dell XPS 420 system. It has an Intel core 2 duo quad cpu. I wish to hibernate it to ram, though I'd be happy with any other form of hibernate/suspend-like behavior at this point. I'm using vanilla kernel 2.6.25.4. I have all the various hibernate/suspend etc options turned on. I installed hibernate-script, installed vbetool and configured the .conf files for hibernate-script to use it. Testing from console, no frame buffer, any of the actions (hibernate, hibernate-ram) bring the system down just fine, but when I power the system back up fully, I have no video signal. The system is fine otherwise, as I can blind-type reboot or halt and the system does so. I remember fighting with this same issue on my IBM thinkpad laptop. I have compared configurations and don't really see any glaring differences. Other than the laptop having an ATI card, and this desktop having an Nvidia GeForce 9600. The laptop has a single-core Intel CPU, but this desktop has a quad-core Intel CPU. There is a specific option in the kernel to enable hibernate/suspend etc for SMP/multicore systems, and I have enabled that. At this point I am at a loss, trying over and over again to get this working. Any tips would be much appreciated. fire-eyes / Fieldy -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Laptop: Thinkpad T43: Disks Very Slow Under Load, Were Fast in the Past
Hello, I'm running gentoo on an IBM Thinkpad T43. In the past, disk access was fine under load (CPU or disk). These days, the disk becomes painfully slow under moderate to high CPU usage (such as compiling) or copying more than a few MB. GUI's become almost totally unresponsive and at times I have to down the system hard. So it seems it's some sort of a change in kernels compared to the past. I have always run a vanilla kernel, manually configured and installed. Right now I am running 2.6.24.3. The system uses an SATA disk drive. Here is the boot line in grub.conf: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-stable root=/dev/sda4 rw hdc=noprobe acpi_sleep=s3_bios panic=5 elevator=cfq nmi_watchdog=0 /boot/vmlinuz-stable being a symlink to the kernel I consider stable within /boot/. I also have vmlinuz-last called by another grub entry if I need it. Here is my kernel config: http://fire-eyes.org/t/config-2.6.24.3.txt (may disappear in the future) I am looking for feedback into what may be causing this mess. It makes for a very frustrating time using this laptop. Thank you! -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

What is the version of the kernel where you did not have issues? 2.6.24 and 23 have a new CPU scheduler (CFS), which should work better than the old one. It is possible that the new scheduler does not suit your needs. Thanks for the reply. I do not recall, other than it was four or more months ago. Do you happen to know what version of the kernel that scheduler showed up in? Also, is that scheduler not irrelevant here as I was passing elevator=cfq? By the way, I did a little experimentation. I changed my scheduler to deadline, and set preemption to desktop. Before the scheduler was cfq, and the preemption to low-latency desktop. Things already feel snappier gui-wise, but I have yet to push the disk/cpu to see what will happen.

Re: [gentoo-user] OpenSSH security
James Colby wrote: List members - I am running OpenSSH on my home gentoo server.

My Gentoo box is connected to a linksys router connected to my cable modem, the linksys is doing port forwarding to my gentoo box. Also, I would like to avoid limiting which IP addresses can log into my SSH server Thanks for any ideas, James What you're seeing is a common, automated dictionary style attack. There are several ways to get rid of them. The simplest way is to install fail2ban and it will create firewall rules. The next less-simple way is to change the port sshd listens on. The scripts assume the default of 22. The best way is to change the port sshd listens on, and also move to key based authentication, and disable password based authentication. In this way, even if they got the port, got a real user name, and had the right password, it would not matter -- They haven't got the key. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I think there were two things going on: 1. This might be a kill switch? Some of my problems were certainly due to the kill switch. I finally noticed that the little wireless LEDs were off. I had turned them off while using the windows OS - given that it is susceptable to the wonderful new driver attacks - and had failed to turn it on when booting up hardened Linux (which I believe is NOT susectable to the driver buffer overflows). 2.

[gentoo-user] ipw2200 + Intel Pro Wireless 2915 a/b/g: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.
I am having a very irritating problem with the wireless driver and card above. Sometimes, but not all the times, it gets into this phase where the wireless drops, comes back, drops, comes back (etc) and eventually I start seeing this in kernel logs: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. Unloading and reloading the module does not stop the issue, when it has begun. I have done some searching, and the typical advice is to make sure hardware crypto is off, by loading it like so: modprobe -v ipw2200 hwcrypto=0 However this never stops it, or even causes it to calm down a bit. The most frustrating thing, is that this does not happen all the time. I use multiple wireless networks. All of them wide open, except for one, which was mine at home with WPA. That AP since bricked (warning: avoid LInksys WRT54G v5's, i'm not the only one this happened to) so I can no loner test. But when I used it, i saw the same things as I am describing here.

In the past few days, I was upgrading glibc to 2.4 and also to gcc 4.1.1. I was using the GCC upgrade guide. Everything went well until it was time to reboot. I did do an emerge -e world. I remerged grub, and used the grub console to reinstall. I have checked my grub.conf, it looks fine. It also does not have any trailing garbage (suggestion from others). I also recompiled and reinstalled my kernel, making sure it was compiled with gcc 4.1.1. Many times i got back in via chroot, and tried to reinstall grub, but to no avail. It sees the disks, it sees the partitions, it sees the filesystems. So I am not sure what to do next. I flung about 4 hours of time at this with no change.

[gentoo-user] Thinkpad T43: wireless keeps dropping, firmware error
I am using an IBM Thinkpad T43 laptop. It has an Intel Pro Wireless 2915 abg wireless card in it. This uses the ipw2200 driver. Most of the time when I use wireless, it is solid. However every few days or weeks (there seems to be no pattern), I run into a day where 6 - 20 times in that given day, the wireless just plain drops. I have to unload the modules, reload them, restart the network interface, etc etc. This is one of those days. In logs I see: ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting. This situation is extremely annoying. I have posted on lists before, but I have never found any solution to this.

[gentoo-user] dvdrip: significant frame loss during rip
I am using dvdrip. Every time out of three titles I have tried so far, the ripping phase always gives an error at the end, such as: It seems that transcode ripping stopped short. The movie has 187351 frames, but only 152564 were ripped. This is most likely a problem with your transcode/libdvdread installation, resp. a problem with this specific DVD. This number varies per title, but it's the same every time on a given title. Curiously, the VOB files it comes up with after the rip certainly have the full movie. But after transcoding, a few chapters are always missing. This always starts at one chapter, and ends at the end of a slightly later chapter. None of this makes sense to me. I have tried on multiple systems, and the same thing happens. No errors in dmesg or other system logs.

I can't recall when I last bought an ATI card, at least 6 years or more. Summary: ATI does make good hardware. However, good hardware paired with poor drivers and very poor linux support results in an end result of: poor. Even if you have to spend a little more cash, go with Nvidia. You will know where the extra cash went. Details: I strongly suggest avoiding ATI on Linux. My first card was a Radeon 9000. With ati's drivers, the following things were a daily occurance: Complete system hangs (even sysreq didn't matter at this point), games showing severe tearing artifacts, random X deaths, etc. I got an Nvidia after that to replace it, and I never once had issues like that.

And it would be 100% perfect, if not for... you see it coming... They put an ATI X300 in it :( I figured it had been a few years, surely ATI had their junk together. Boy do I regret putting any faith in them. The severe problems I faced, using latest stable kernels, latest xorg 7: 1) Total system hang at EVERY X logout... Not most, but EVERY. We're talking hangs so bad, even sysreq didn't do anything. Now THAT's a hard hang. 2) Total system hang at EVERY resume from suspend to ram. The rest of the system was fine, but the display never comes back up. Without a quick call to sysreq to sync and umount, the system will be completely hung within seconds. I wish I could rip the ATI card out of this otherwise FANTASTIC laptop, and throw in an nvidia... but that can't happen. In closing, ATI's attitude towards supporting linux users is not only poor, but at times outright horrible. Case in point is the fact that within the past few years, in response to various linux users posting their problem son thier forums, ATI said something to the likes of: Supporting the linux operating system is not a priority of ATI, and likely will not be for some years to come. Not an exact quote and I forget where it's at, but it was defiantely official word from ATI. You don't have to be a zealot to come realize that giving a company who clearly does not care about a slice of their customers, blatantly so, is a lost cause. Go Nvidia. You may spend a little more, but that will go into real support, real drivers, and a development team over there that DOES solve problems, and they solve them pretty fast. Thus ends the rant.

[gentoo-user] bash completion
Hi, i'm trying to use bash completion. That is, the extended bash completion. I merged bash-completion, and it tells me to do the following: einfo Add the following to your ~/.bashrc to enable completion support. einfo NOTE: to avoid things like Gentoo bug #98627, you should set aliases einfo after sourcing /etc/profile.d/bash-completion. einfo einfo [[ -f /etc/profile.d/bash-completion ]] \\ einfo source /etc/profile.d/bash-completion I have done this as root, and also done an eselect bashcomp enable modules , log out, back in, yet i am not able to complete modprobe -v ipw2[tab] which should expand to ipw2200. Any ideas? -- When you walk across the fields with your mind pure and holy, then from all the stones, and all growing things, and all animals, the sparks of their soul come out and cling to you.

This problem is because of the keyboard layout. If you use KDE go to Control Center / Regional Accessibility / Keyboard Layout and select the right one for your keyboard. Thanks for the advice. I have done this, logged out of kde, and logged back in, however it still does not work at this time. Did I miss something?

Re: [gentoo-user] USE flags - Why use ntpl/ntplonly in make.conf?
Jeff wrote: Just wondering - how would my system benefit from using ntpl/ntplonly? I don't see very much 'official' documentation of these USE flags, but Googling, I see a lot of people using it to 'optimize' their gcc/system. Anyone care to comment? Myself I tried ntpl (and also ntplonly at someones suggestion). It is supposed to offer better thread support, especially if you have an SMP or dual core system. I have an SMP system. Maybe it was just for me, but this turned into a total disaster. I later found that it was due to setting ntplonly, which apparently disables old, non-ntpl support entirely. Which is very very bad for apps that don't yet support ntpl, or something like that. My suggestion is to talk to gentoo devs, and decide for yourself if you think it's worth it. And by all means stay away from ntplonly. Today my system is ntpl (without ntplonly), on an SMP system, and I don't notice any improvement at ALL. Which is VERY annoying considering the complete insanity I went through for about a week. Yes, I know only some apps support ntpl, but the impression given to me was that it would speed up the whole system. Which is certainly not true. Yes, others can flame me.

And that takes care of the association. So confused... Looks like I got it... Further investigation showed that dhcpcd was requesting 192.168.1.103 , when it had 1.100 before. I force it to request .100 and it immediately worked... Anyone know what that was all about? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Continuing xorg/nvidia driver issues
A few of you responded with suggestions, and I got the help of others as well. However I am still having the same issue. I have updated this URL with more info, I am still looking for input into this. I did define my modeline. http://fire-eyes.org/temp/badness.txt -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Update: Continuing xorg/nvidia driver issues
It seems that my issues are caused by not xorg. Nor nvidias drivers, but by xfce4. Sounds odd but it is true. Something appears to be wrong with its resolution/display manager. I can use its settings to set the resolution back to 1600x1200, however it completely ignores the virtual, which drives me nuts. So I'm sitting in kde 3.5 now, till that's resolved. I updated xfce4, no change. Thanks for the replies! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Well, I don't use the nvidia driver, so I'm certainly no expert here, but: (WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode 896x672 (height 1344 is larger than (WW) NVIDIA(0): EDID-specified maximum 1200) and: Section Device snip OptionUseEdidFreqs on #Option UseEdidFreqs off #Option IgnoreEDID 1 #Option UseEdidDpi DFP-0 What happens if you play with these EDID options? Particularly, the UseEdidFreqs looks like a likely candiate to be disabled. -Richard I have messed with them (hence the comments), no change. Those EDID maxes are surely bogus, I have run 2048x1536 (real, not virtual) on this before no problems, within spec. Only with the newer driver does it complain. Even if i tell it to ignore EDID.

The newer Nvidia drivers have a tighter spec on speeds. They also now need mode lines for, as I recall, resolutions above 1280x1024. Also, as your monitor is one of those that has a flakey EDID (from reading your log), any edid setting will get ignored. The drivers do work, in most cases[1]. I'm running at 1920x1200 on 8174-r1. But that is with a mode line. I still get occasional system hangs on my 2P amd64 system while playing ut2004. But I think that may have to do with threads and audio. Bob [1] An SGI FP1600SW with an Nvidia 6xxx card at 1600x1024 is a case where none of the drivers work, even with mode lines. - Okay, thanks for the information.
