[gentoo-user] Again some headless stuff/question
Hi, for starting and running a script on a headless system for me nohup works perfectly. For interactive session via ssh screen/tmux turned out to be the solution to detach from jobs started from the commandline. Both are hints/help I received from the community here. :) Thank you very much !!! :))) Since the screen/tmux thingie is THAT convenient I would like to start this as the default when logging in via ssh. I could write a script which is started by the shell (zsh) which in turn is started as part of the login process. Screen would start another shell and TADA!... But this is an embedded system... The result should be a running screen session right after login via ssh. Is there any shorter path to what I am trying to do -- without the cascade of shells which do nothing but waiting of the child process to end? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Have a nice Sunday! Best regards, mcc

Is there any free available software and data for strict offline useage (which does NOT calls to home), which is able to map GPS data to a street/land map? I need both: The maps themselves and the logic to read GPS coordinates and map movements and ways to those maps. Is something like that available for free or should I directly ask the NSA/CIA/FBI/...? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc The only project I know of that has openly available map data is OpenStreetMap (openstreetmap.org). I know they have an API, and they probably (not sure) have maps available for download. afaik the only way to combine various map data out of the box is to use a GIS package like QGIS. You can write software to do this using the proj4 library for an embedded box, not sure if anything for your specific use case already exists and is open source. Alec Sorry iphone send mail even if you don't wanna :/ What you are considering doing is quite a challenge. What kind of coordinates does your gps module give you? The gps system works with cartesian x y z coordinates. Then these are usually displayed to the user in WGS-84. This is a quite hard mathematical problem (differential elliptical problem). Usually is done by your gps receiver and is approximated. GIS libraries have these functions built inside. Distances are easier and faster to calculate in cartesian coordinates. You need to calculate distance because coordinates from gps will never coincide with any address. Open street maps provides a very good start, but addresses have great differences in different countries. For example google misses addresses quite much depending on where you are searching. Getting the address right requires good locality from the program. Addresses and roads are vector maps. The fastest way to get address is to have the vector map of the world and then calculate distance to the closest address. The database will be huge :) Maps are usually raster pictures which have some projection. When you display them you can use 3d or 2d visual. In 3d (like google earth) you draw a sphere (or oblate spheroid) and draw textures on top of is to the right coordinates. In 3d everything needs to be converted to cartesian coordinates. Or in 2d you decide a projection and then convert the projection of your maps to this projection. After that it is just easy drawing. GIS libraries contain all the needed tools for these operations. There are a few of them with open source license. I have been doing some work with opengl 3d drawing maps. Good luck your project is quite big but it is sure very much fun :) -- -Matti YEAH! Matti is back! I saw your previous mail and thought: Oh boy...Clint Eastwood is very talkative compared to /him/. ;;;))) Trashed the phone... and now back to the good old fashion terminal connection. I am not /that/ serious this evening...sorry... With all the help from this forum this evening I got by far more working results as I have thought... But back to your mail: The GPS module I plan to use is this one (by Adafruit, Lady Ada): https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ultimate-gps/overview From there (see link list on the left) you can also download the manuals (pdf). Nice... MicroTek chipset. Quite easy to use. I will not use this thing as a driving assistant or navi (is this common speaking outside germany also...or is it one of those pseudo english german words like handy for cell phone...dont laugh! This time /I am/ serious! :) ) Its more like a GPS data logger. I plan to copy the gathered data on my PC later and I will try to draw them onto a map. May be the results proof later, that I am able to walk through walls and hovering over the face of the waters...;) Ok. This is easy... You just need some maps... openstreetmaps are good for that. From the MT3339 you get NMEA messages and WGS-84 coordinates. I would suggest displaying your results in 2D. For germany Lambert conformal conic projection is good choice. In this projection all angles are true and sreight lines are great circle routes. Just convert the maps to this projection and convert your coordinates to Lambert false easting and false northing and you will have cartesian coordinates that are easy to draw. Even excel is able to draw this in real time :) I don't

[gentoo-user] another headless device-question: In search of the LAN
Hi, For a device (beaglebone black) I am looking for a solution of the following problem: This little computer boots a fully blown Gentoo linux. It is used mostly as headless device (capturing data from attached sensors). From time to time I want access it via LAN. If the device was booted without LAN attached, the configured ethernet was not found and dhcpd fails. So Gentoo goes into no LAN-mode (or something like that). Is there a less waiting for the timeout-prone way to refresh the status of the LAN beside putting the accoring init-script into a cron job ??? Is there a way to check, whether a RJ45 was plugged into the device and if so to start init-script then? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc

Since you are running on an embedded hardware board, I'd look at those docs and find a forum as to the specifics of how the hardware clock is set and maintained on the board. Once you get it close, then ntp should be configuration. man hwclock hth, James Hi James, ...the system has no built-in RTC which still runs if the system is powered off. After power is up and eth0 is alive, the time/date has to be set via ntp-client. The rest already working. I called /etc/init.d/ntp-client start after booting the little beast and plugging in the RJ45 and everything else was fine. Currently I am experimenting with chrony (emerging). Will see, if this will make a difference ;) Best mcc

[gentoo-user] Headless question: Harvesting the results...software needed.
Hi, with lot of help of this forum (***TAHNKS!***) I now have a embedded device which is able to dis/connect itsself from/to the LAN, set the clock via ntp-client and is able to fire up a tool, which collects data from sensors and put those into a file ... even if the tool has no connection to a terminal. Next step will be to connect a GPS module (ordered) to the GPIO pins of that board (which is quite offtopic and I fear therefore my sole problem... ;). Suppose the GPS would already be attached to the board and works... Is there any free available software and data for strict offline useage (which does NOT calls to home), which is able to map GPS data to a street/land map? I need both: The maps themselves and the logic to read GPS coordinates and map movements and ways to those maps. Is something like that available for free or should I directly ask the NSA/CIA/FBI/...? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc

Using 'after' won't work unless both net.eth0 and ntp-client are in
the
default runlevel. Obviously, that condition is not satisfied if you
are
using ifplugd. Please try the solution mentioned in my previous post.
It should work.
ifplugd shouldn't be in any runlevel, it is just there for openrc to
use.
I did not claim or suggest otherwise.
--Kerin
I already have a solution in a file which is a user alterable
file:
I just put a call to ntp-client in the postup(){} function
of /etc/conf.d/net. Called once and no polling and straight forward.
And if an update to that file will happen, cfg-update will keep track
of it.
I am happy with that.

Alec Sorry iphone send mail even if you don't wanna :/ What you are considering doing is quite a challenge. What kind of coordinates does your gps module give you? The gps system works with cartesian x y z coordinates. Then these are usually displayed to the user in WGS-84. This is a quite hard mathematical problem (differential elliptical problem). Usually is done by your gps receiver and is approximated. GIS libraries have these functions built inside. Distances are easier and faster to calculate in cartesian coordinates. You need to calculate distance because coordinates from gps will never coincide with any address. Open street maps provides a very good start, but addresses have great differences in different countries. For example google misses addresses quite much depending on where you are searching. Getting the address right requires good locality from the program. Addresses and roads are vector maps. The fastest way to get address is to have the vector map of the world and then calculate distance to the closest address. The database will be huge :) Maps are usually raster pictures which have some projection. When you display them you can use 3d or 2d visual. In 3d (like google earth) you draw a sphere (or oblate spheroid) and draw textures on top of is to the right coordinates. In 3d everything needs to be converted to cartesian coordinates. Or in 2d you decide a projection and then convert the projection of your maps to this projection. After that it is just easy drawing. GIS libraries contain all the needed tools for these operations.

Re: [gentoo-user] unix2dos blocks dos2unix
Gevisz gev...@gmail.com [14-09-14 09:28]:
I have just installed unix2dos utility
(never had a need to use it before) and
just after that tried to install dos2unix
but the installation of dos2unix failed
complaining on the fact that
app-text/unix2dos is blocking app-text/dos2unix-6.0.5
I find it very strange as I think that if someone
needs unix2dos utility he usually also needs dos2unix
utility, especially taking into account that unix2dos
by default overwrites its input file.
This is the output from the emerge command:
# emerge --ask dos2unix
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

following section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is
irrelevant):

Any thought?
A shot in the dark:

I think it's wrong gcc-version because of these silly errors:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qversion'

I haven't looked into it any further, but I'd say it's a bug in the
build system so report it to bgo.
Meanwhile, as a workaround to get it to build, install gcc:4.7 and use
that to build daq. See if that works, if so mention it in your bug report.
Hi Alan,

daq compiles fine with gcc-4.7. .

Motion buffers the last few seconds of video and includes it with the recording when it detects motion, the number of seconds is configurable.

[gentoo-user] OT: In search of a hint/ides: Loop recording of a webcam
Hi, may be the software I am looking for already exists of can easily created by plugging together already existing pieces: With a Logitech c920 webcam (Full HD) I plan to record birds on my roof. I need to record everything: Starting from the birds landing on the roof until the fligh away again. Since the camera delivers Full HD video AND I need the complete movie of the bird motion detection is not suitable here: Decoding analyzing and reencoding in case of recording would take to much horsepower... But Normally I will recogize the birds after the landed on the roof. My idea is to do something like loop recoording: The stream is cut into pieces of 5 minutes length. If I dont hit ENTER (or something similar) the previously recorded piece of video gets delted after the current one has been completly recorded. If I hit ENTER no deletion is performed until I hit ENTER again. I already have a script hacked together with a gst-launch command, which is able to fetch the Full HD hardware encoded stream from the C920 and put it on the harddisk. But I failed in creating a script which allows me to simultanously watch the material which gets recorded just in the same moment. Is there any software or script or fill in something appropiate here which does this loop recording as described above AND is able to pull the Full HD stream correctly from the C920? Where can I proceed? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards and have a nice weekend! mcc

Have your script send the video stream to stdout and pipe it through tee, which will both send it to a file and back to stdout, where your video player is listening. Have you actually tried using motion detection software? I don't know how powerful your system is, but I have motion processing three SD streams simultaneously with no significant CPU usage. -- Neil Bothwick Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

Update procps to a later version.
Or update mysql if that specifically want that version.

[gentoo-user] Contradictionary behaviour of SMART on hds ?!?
Hi, after finding a bad sector on my hd (see previous thread) a read a lot stuff about SMART, smartctl and such to determine wether and how severe is a bad sector and how to cope with it. There is (at least ;) one thing I dont understand: On the one hand, the surface test (extended offline and such) aborts as soon the first read fgailure happens. On the other hand it is said: If the count of bad sectors increases over time it is time to change the hd. How can the second happen, if the first is true??? Best regards, mcc

My understanding is that the test only aborts if the error is severe enough to force it to do so. A simple bad block can be skipped and the rest of the drive tested.

I was able to get mine to do a full test and give me a clean result. If yours doesn't, well, I'd be diggin me out a box and sending that puppy back to mommy. It seems to need some help. To me, errors is one thing, errors that can't be corrected is a whole new problem. It should fix it and pass the test. Even with my drive passing the test, I don't trust it yet. If it was still showing the error even after I did what I had done, I certainly wouldn't trust it. If yours can't finish the long self test, it may need repairs that are above our pay grade. Maybe Neil or someone will have more ideas. I hope. Dale :-) :-) Back to the initial problem: How can I offline test the rest of the disk if the first bad sector (10%) of the surface breaks the test with an error? Best regards, mcc

Best regards, mcc I never got mine to go past the first failure until I used dd to erase the drive. As mentioned before, I may could have done that without moving my data but that was to complicated and risky for me at the time. From my understanding tho, until that data is moved off the bad spot so that the drive knows it can do what it needs to, that spot is still going to show up. I don't know of a way to make it test beyond the bad spot either. If you have a drive that you can move that data over to so that you can play with the bad drive, that's what I would do. Once you get it moved, then dd the whole drive, run the test and then see what results you get.

I'd be getting my data off there or some sort of backup and then try erasing the whole drive. If that fails as well, then it seems like you need a box and some shipping to get a replacement if it is under warranty. If the dd fails, that sounds like maybe it has a error it can't correct for some reason. I think dd does its thing on a basic level and I have never had it give me a error except for running out of space when it is done. I'm sure if the command you used was wrong, Neil would have picked up on it and said something. So, I don't think you are doing anything wrong, I just think your drive may have even more serious issues than mine had. Unless someone else comes on with a idea on something else to try, I'd be looking for somewhere to put my data and a different drive. If after that you can get it working, well, you got a spare. If not, it was broke anyway. I hope someone else has more ideas. Does it still error out if you run the commands in this sequence? mkswap -L swap -f -c /dev/sda2 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda2 bs=512 conv=notrunc Also, did you try the 'hdparm --write-sector' option that Volker mentioned? -- Regards, Mick Hi Mick, thanks for your reply on the topic.

The sector is therefore 4288352511/512=8375688 However as a result of the dd command above I found this in the dmesg log: [48588.471905] end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 1773816 Now...what sector count fits what sector count ... ? I will not fire zeroes towards my hd this way before I know exactly to what I am shooting at... ;) Any light in all this shadow is heartly appreciated... Best regards, mcc

It seems the bad LBA is not on the checked harddisk. Or (more obvious) I did something wrong... How can I correctly identify the partition, which contains the bad block? How can I get a full list of all bad blocks (if any) from a mounted file systems? How severe is the problem? Thank you very much for any help in advance! Best regards, mcc I ran into this recently on the drive that has my home partition on it. Someone posted that it *may* be fixable without moving data etc etc. I didn't have a backup at the time and nothing large enough to make one so I just ordered a new drive. When I got the new drive in and moved my data over, then I played with the drive a bit. I used dd to erase the drive, then stuck a file system back on it and filled it up. After doing that, the drive seems to have marked that part as bad and doesn't use it anymore. It has passed every test since then. My point is this, backups for sure just in case but you may be able to get the drive to mark that area as bad by moving that data off there. In my case, the files were corrupted and gone. Yea, I might could have sent it somewhere but I ain't into that. To much money for files I can replace if needed. I think it was like 3 or 4 video files. I'd find out what files are there, see what damage has occurred so that you can correct later, then find one really good howto and follow it. From my understanding, if you can move that data in the bad spot off there, the drive sort of fixes itself. If yours works like mine did, you should be OK but I'd use it for stuff that ain't so important. I use mine as a backup drive and test it a lot. ;-) I may trust it again, one day. So, most likely you will have some files corrupted at least. The drive *may* be fixable if you can figure out what files to move so that the drive can do its magic. Key thing is, finding out what to move so that the drive can do its work. Two options, try to move files so the drive can do its thing or move all the data to another drive, do like I did mine with dd and give it a fresh start that way. I didn't feel I had the experience to try and move the files so I took the 2nd option. Now I wish I had done option #1 and took notes that I could pass on. That would likely help you more. BTW, my drive gave that error for weeks and never got worse. I could be lucky on that one so do what needs doing as soon as you can, just in case. The last drive that really failed on me years ago, I got a serious warning from SMART. It even said I had like 24 hours to get my data off. It needs attention in your case but hopefully you will have the results I did in the end and you have time to deal with it. Dale :-) :-) Hi Dale, thank you very much for the explanations you gave...and for the hope in it ;) :) In the meanwhile I found ddrescue... :) It took me five hours to copy the disk (1T) binaryly (this word looks wrong...) to another identical one with ddrescue. This beast is smart...it first copies all what it is able to read

It seems the bad LBA is not on the checked harddisk. Or (more obvious) I did something wrong... You are probably comparing different units. The Start and End of fdisk are reporting sectors, each sector being 512 bytes. Therefore if the LBA is reported by smartctl in bytes, you have: 4,288,352,511 ÷ 512 = 8,375,688.5 which would place it within your swap partition. I would do this: swapoff /dev/sda2 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda2 bs=512 conv=notrunc mkswap -L swap -c /dev/sda2 swapon /dev/sda2 and hopefully the problem will be gone when you run the next smartctl test. -- Regards, Mick Hi MIck, thanks a lot for the clearification! It also solves the problem, that fsck does not report any problem for the partitions...because there is none ;) Which are good news. I will clear the swap and report later what happens!

Doesn't matter, bump /usr/portage/dev-java/java-sdk-docs/java-sdk-docs-1.7.0.60.ebuild to java-sdk-docs-1.7.0.65 in your local overlay.

[gentoo-user] Udev confusion: Rules for a mp3 player
Hi,
For my mp3-player I want to write udev rules to give better names
to the according entries under /dev
Problem is: Th eplayer has an internal flash, which only holds the firmware
(in my case) and a sd-card slot, in which you can insert a flash card
with music files.
The internal memory has a partition directly on - say - sdb and the
sd-card in the slot is regulary formatted and represents itsself as
sdc and sdc1.
With udevadm I determined the serial number of the device (to make it
unique) and the model (Internal storage and SD card slot), which
seems to make it easy to buit rules from.
The one and only reason for not being THAT happy is: The rules didn't work.
Here:
http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
I read some instructions.
It is said that one should not combine elements of one device and more
than one parent.
Is device meant as the entry under /dev or is it to be understand
as the electric entity on my desktop (the player).
I want rules which also work, if another sdcard of a different size is
inserted into the player...
How can I write rules to map the internal storage, the whole device
(aka /dev/sdc) of the sdcard (for example for reformatting reasons)
and the partition of the sdcard (aka /dev/sdc1), which work?
To this email I have attached the gzipped outputs of the according
udevadm calls.
Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards,
mcc

This is what I have tried and which does *NOT* work!

I'm not going to help you with your udev rules, but just point out, it
seems to me you are going to a more complicated layer than you need
to, if you just want personalized naming for your partitions under
/dev (for using with scripts or something like that), I would suggest
you to use the label feature, of the filesystems you are going to use
for those blocks, this will cause udev to generate respective
/dev/disk/by-label/* symlinks, altought I guess if you already know
this if you are playing with udev rules.
...this would identify the sd-cards instead of the device, so I choose
to udev-rules instead of labels...

[gentoo-user] Tuneing ext4 for reliability (not necessaryly speed)
Hi, for backup storage (see previous thread) I decided to use ext4. After craling the net the reports I found about brtfs seemed to mixed to me. If there are alternatives I overlooked...

[gentoo-user] backup hardware setup
Hi, I bought two identical external harddrives, USB 3.0, with 1 TByte each (no SSD - the good ole mechanical ones...;). The intended use is for backup of longer files. The drives will contain the same contents. Currently there are still clean metal (no partitioning, no fs). Data integrity and recoverability (Uhhh...that words looks wrong...) in case of an desaster is more important than speed. What is the recommended way of partitioning ? What filesystem to choose?

With my setup (means: may be I did something wrong...;) it eats too much resources...there is only one Linux box for me work and for detecting motions and for recording video. The Logitech offers 1920x1080 Full HD HD264, which needs to be decoded frame by frame, analyzed and when found interesting to be recorded to disc while further analyzing steps are running. If motion failed (with my setup) to work with low res video streams I dont think that it will successfully run under the load of Full HD. Furthermore there is a delay of ~1 second between reality and video possbly due to not that fast compression hardware in the camera...

Some interesting notes and comments at the bottom of this page: http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ Also, in the past, I have found the best comments on various camera hardware in the relevant kernel driver. Sometimes that is a unique driver, other times it is a unified kernel driver for a similar group of video cameras. Sometimes you can go way back to where the kernel driver for a given video camera first appeared (got supported) in the linux kernel for detailed information on the limitations of a given piece of hardware. Often, the poorer performance on Linux, was intentionally due to the actions of the manufacturer, particular on max frame rate, bit minipulations and other key parameter settings of the cameras. Once folks learned the protocols (decoded them) on windows, they would make those adjustments with windows software and reverse engineer the driver software so as to be able to support various linux drivers. Logitech is very reasonable (at least compared to other vendors) but even there newer hardware rarely works with the best of a given feature set, until the product has been out for a while. If not, Logitech should have a published interface specification so and to make reverse engineering not necessary? Dunno know the specifics on the model your listing, as I've been out of that 'game' for a while now, but all those tigers still have the same stripes Good hunting! hth, James Hi, I've git somethiong working for me: With vlc Capture device and a lot of setting I am able to wath and record if wanted the stream of the c920.

So it's a 32 bit integer.
From this I want to create random numbers in the range of [a-Za-z0-9]

You mean *characters* int the range [A-Za-z0-9]?
How can I do this mathemtically (in concern of the quality of output)
correct?
The easiest thing to do would be:
---
#include time.h
#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#define N (26+26+10)
static char S[] = { 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J',

next_character()
{
// Use the correct call for ISAAC instead of rand()
unsigned int idx = rand() % N;
return S[idx];
}
int
main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
// Use the correct call for initializing the ISAAC seed
srand((unsigned int)time(NULL));
for (int i = 0; i 20; i++) // --std=c99
printf(%c\n, next_character());
return 0;
}
---
If the ISAAC RNG has a good distribution, then the next_character()
function will give a good distribution among the set [A-Za-z0-9].
Unless I missunderstood what you meant with create random numbers in
the range of [a-Za-z0-9].

Hi,
Thank you very much for the input! :)
I have a question about the algorithm:
Suppose rand() has an equal distribution of numbers and furthermore
one has a count of 2^32 random numbers listed in numerical sort
order.
In this list each number would appear (nearly) with the same count: 1
To get an better imagination of that...suppose the rand() would only
return numbers in the range of 1...12 and the alphabet has only 8
characters (as 2^32 is not devideable by 62)
rand():
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
rand()%N : rand()%7
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 1 2 3 4
or in other words: An even distribution of numbers of rand()
would result in a unevenly distributed sequence of characters...or?
This would break the quality of ISAACs output.
I am sure I did something wrong here...but where is the logic trap?
Thank you very much for any help in advance!

Or you could use pipe and tee to split the feed into any devices you want, e.g.: pv /dev/sda1 | tee (dd of=/dev/sdb1) (dd of=/dev/sdc1) 3. Or you could use a sequential copy: cp -a /home /dev/sdb1/ cp -a /home /dev/sdc1 NOTES: a) Unlike other commands, pv will give you a progress bar so that you know how long your back up is taking. b) The 3rd example above will copy sequentially, but depending on the size of the file(s) the second copy may be read from cache. c) If you're doing this over the network then you can use nc in listening mode at the receiving end, or ssh if the network is untrusted.

So the cache isnt big enough to hold ALL files for the second part. Run the two copies simultaneously, start the first, switch to another tab, start the second. That way the data for the second copy is always the most recently cached. However, I expect the speed limit here may be the USB bus unless you are using USB 3.0 drives on different buses. I was thinking about how to make sure cache is used, and that two simultanious cp won't work, because the progress for the two cp will quickly diverge. But then I realized: there is no need to think about the read cache - the limiting factor is always the writing side, especially with USB! So IMO it doesn't matter at all how you do it! I guess two simultaneous cp will be the same as two sequential cp, except if you have two separate USB-buses. Usually you have just one externally connectible, use lsusb -t to check. If you have less that 2 times the size of your files, IMO simultaneous cp will be worse, because Linux (don't know if USB-subsystem or cp) creates big buffers when cp'ing (check with free -m), and you'll probably get into memory trouble.

I think I cannot expect help from the manufacturer as the manufacturer will not support another OS as his own firmware...which is more limited in compare to rockbox. In the meanwhile it looks like that there are two sources of trouble: The sdcard, which acts as addtional flash memory extension. I changed the sdcard I used to use with a another one, which work much better -- with rockbox. The original firmware does not have a problem with either card. Since such firmware - neither the original one nor rockbox - has the abilities of a fully fledged OS like linux for example I am looking for a simple method to revert a somehow corrupted filesystem on either flash memory back to a valid one. I think it is better to loose some files (which can be regenerated) for the benefit of a sane filesystem than to insist of using a invalid one (and screw it up beyond repair with each new write to it). Rockbox supports the execution of lua scripts (somehow limited...no floating point, limited OS lib etc...). So, when the player needs to be hard resetted which lead to a not-so-valid state of the filesystem it would be nice, if a lua script would be able to revert the filesystem back to a valid state. If (see initial question) this would be possible by simply delete all files which were altered since last execution of the script and rebbot the play than...that would be nice. But: I dont know, whether the logic behind my initial question is valid and reasonable...or simply as corrupted as the filesystem i want to repair... Any further idea is heartly appreciated!

Never mind that some people will not touch one or the other with a barge pole no matter how much you pay them, I think they just have human bias.

Put the version you don't want in /etc/portage/package.mask; see `man portage` for details, but for example if you don't want 337.12 or newer, you would do something like this: /etc/portage/package.mask: =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-337.12 Then doing `emerge -u x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers` will downgrade it. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D ...problem here is, that the emerge process already killed all ebuilds except the newest one of nvidie-cuda-toolkit and nvidia-settings... And the emerge detects a mismatch between the nvidia-drivers to downgrade and the (still newest) nvidie-cuda-toolkit and nvidia-settings and refuses to do anything... lost? Best regards, mcc

What can I do to get rid of this effect? This seems to be a common problem with nvidia video cards using the nvidia binary blobs. I ran into it some time ago. If you don't want to get rid of the nvidia card, try the Nouveau open-source drivers. You won't get all the acceleration that the Nvidia binaries provide, but at least you probably won't get the problems you have now. +1 to this The nvidia blobs do work well as long as you use them the way they were intended to be used. The way they were intended to be used is the same way Windows uses them, the Linux and Windows drivers share the bulk of the internal code and Linux feature set most definitely is not the driving force here :-) Which means some awesome things the X server can do simply do not work with the blob. The blob also rips out most of the OpenGL and framebuffer code and replaces it with it's own mysterious black magic, this can add more wrinkles. And finally, the Nvidia blob is not at all integrated with the kernel in any meaningful way, so your running kernel usually ends up 2-4 versions behind current. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com Hi, thanks for the advice. Sine Blender is heavily using CUDA and the nvidia card to render (cycles), I have to use nvidia-drivers, nvidia-settings and the nvidia-cuda-toolkit. So I want to step back one release of the drivers, because that had worked fine for me. Older ebuilds fo nvidia-drivers are provided...but why all older ebuilds except for the newest one of nvidia-settings and nvidia-cuda-toolkit are wiped off my harddisc as soon I have upgraded to a (for me) not wirking nvidia-driver-ebuild? Any chance to go back or ma I urged to live with described features or to quit blender and use the noveau-drivers? Best regards, mcc

I see build failures with xine-lib too. So there might be a bug already. No need to flood people's mailboxes. Yes the bug is in bugzilla. And yes it is unsolved according to my last visit there. This was the reason I asked for a workaround to compile the stuff... not a solution of the problem itsself. And it was the reason I did not provide any logs, because I didnt want to spam the mailinglist. So...is there a recent workaround for this problem? Best regards, mcc

It was a leftover in the environment. SRCDIR was defined and this screws up the whole build process. I am happy again. Best regards, mcc

[gentoo-user] slim/X11 : waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
Hi, it seems the powerfail this moring while I was updateing my Linux box has killed / screwed up something. The effect: Slim login manager starts and presents the login screen. It is possible to login but openbox seems not to start - I get the typical cross-cursor in the middle of the screen (but the grey background is replaced by plain black) The last entry in the slim.log is: slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections. slim: open_session: Unable to open session: Unable to get information about the calling process I resumed the interrupted update process, I did: emerge xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse nvidia-drivers I recompiled the X-server. Nothing helps. What can I try else to get X working again? Thank you very much for any (quick;) help in advance! Best regards, mcc
