Hi Alexander, thanks for doing a search for me...one feels a little crippled without X, firefox etc ;) Ok, for now I am knowing that I am not alone and that amd64 system are mostly affected.

[gentoo-user] eix-sync data comparison
Hi, suppose I would do an eix-sync on two different computers of different platforms -- say AMR and an ordinary PC. Are the downloaded data identical? And -- if so -- is it possible to first eix-sync the PC and the eix-sync the ARM against the PC instead an official Gentoo-server? Best regards, mcc

In the worst case, one could be blacklisted...which I dont want to be. I wouldn't worry about that at all. Gentoo infra is vastly more resilient than that, and there are several official hosts in some sort of cluster arrangement. I have minimally 4 gentoo hosts here at home and many many times I've run --sync simultaneously on all of them 5-10 times a day, with not a peep out of infra. I don't do this deliberately, sometimes I forget just how powerful clusterssh can be :-) Plus our ftp server at work is a mirror for all of ZA with no special permissions, it syncs every hour. The message in --sync is, I believe, a holdover from long long ago that hasn't been valid for years. But it's left to discourage abuse. What you are doing is not abuse, it's normal activity. Many of us here have multiple gentoo installs. If you want to reduce the data downloaded, then by all means configure rsyncd to share the tree on the PC, and point the ARM to that. Don't worry about overlays, the amount of changed data from them is usually too small to worry about. Especially with the ARM I need to sync once a day, since I have to limit the amount of software to be recompiled/updated after each sync since the ARM is not *that* fast (for example a kernel compilation take ~8h).

The problem is that for gnome-settings-daemon to work properly (and still be

upstream), you *MUST* convert your system to use systemd. If I remember
correctly, there is a USE

just a stripped-down
systemd install that doesn't include systemd itself), but it is unsupported.
most of the other
errors will probably go away when that one is fixed.

Re: [gentoo-user] Terminals not closing after exit anymore
Marc Stürmer m...@marc-stuermer.de [13-11-24 15:16]: Greetings, I've got a strange behaviour since a couple of weeks. When working under X11 in a terminal and I type exit in the shell, the terminal does not close itself anymore. Already changed the shell - no change at all. Also does Ctrl+Z not work anymore, to bring the process running in the foreground into the background. When trying Ctrl+Z on the text console it is the same. Since I am somewhat confused about that kind of behaviour and where to fix it - any ideas to get it back working properly? Thanks in advance. Hi, check wether the problem is related to the shell/terminal or to keyboard related things: In a terminal type cat return Then press a couple of CTRL/something keys except ^D. If you can see -- for example -- ^E when pressing CTRL-E, then the control codes are received by the shell/terminal, therefore keyboard related things are not to blame. If so check the shell init files for remapping the keycodes. Maybe revdep rebuild will show a library, which is used by the shell was updated but the shell was not rebuild. Or something like that. Only a shot in the dark... Good luck! Best regards, mcc

[gentoo-user] [OT] XNest and embedded system: Kaboom! (sometimes)
Hi, I want to display the X-display of my embedded Linux system (a Beaglebone black) on my PC. For that I started XNest on display 1 on my PC (option: -ac) and set DISPLAY on the embedded system (running an XServer also) accordingly. I could run openbox, urxvt, gnumeric, tgif (for example) via this setup nicely. But when I started hatari (an AtariST-Emulator) on the embedded system, XNest on the PC stops running/crashes. Running hatari on the XServer of the embedded system runs nicely though. On the X-point-of-view hatari should be nothing else but just another X application...or? The output of XNest after such sudden stop is: homepc:/home/userXnest -ac :1 _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/homepc:1 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 Initializing built-in extension Generic Event Extension Initializing built-in extension SHAPE Initializing built-in extension XInputExtension Initializing built-in extension XTEST Initializing built-in extension BIG-REQUESTS Initializing built-in extension SYNC Initializing built-in extension XKEYBOARD Initializing built-in extension XC-MISC Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA Initializing built-in extension XFIXES Initializing built-in extension RENDER Initializing built-in extension RANDR Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE Initializing built-in extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER Initializing built-in extension DOUBLE-BUFFER Initializing built-in extension RECORD Initializing built-in extension X-Resource Initializing built-in extension XVideo Initializing built-in extension XVideo-MotionCompensation ## (above the output until I started hatari) ## (below the output after I started hatari) X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Serial number of failed request: 3486 Current serial number in output stream: 3491 What went wrong here?

[gentoo-user] grub2: need the output of vbeinfo to be able to read the output of vbeinfo
Hi, I just migrated to grub2 which works fine thanks to the good Gentoo docs! :) But... I need to increase the resolution of the boot screen to see what is going on there. The docs say, that with the command vbeinfo from the grub console I can see the valid modes of my grpahics card. Now...the current resolution of the grub console compbined with the unfortunate sorting of the output of vbeinfo I am currently only able to read the last entries of this realy long list. Therefore...I need the whole output of vbeinfo to set the console resulotion that way, so I will be able to read the output of vbeinfo deadlock?

Sounds like your channel mixing is misconfigured. Unfortunately I can only give you that pointer, but not how to dereference it. ;-) The player thinks you have some kind of surround system, so you only hear two out of x channels. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.

The other thing is: With sdcards one have to keep an eye on what part of the sdcard is written how often repeatedly, since sdcards tends to wear out. I read somewhere on the internet (dont remember where...sorry) that Samsung has offered code to the Linux kernel, which implements a special FS especially suitable and made for sdcards.

Some folders inside /usr use to keep almost half (more, sometimes) of all files in my systems (like /usr/portage , /usr/src and /usr/include , which are not needed while not under system maintenance). Francisco Hi Francisco, GOOD point! Only one thing forbids this: I often commute between two places. I bought this little embedded computer to do try this or that with it at both places. I have internet access at both places but only at home there is my PC with Gentoo Linux. I dont want to miss Gentoo-hacking ;) at one of the places... :) Best regards, mcc

[gentoo-user] Need help: Filesystem (ext4) corrupted!
Hi, I need some urgent help... The rootfs and $HOME of my embedded system is stored on a 16GB SD-card (about 5GB used, rest free). The FS is ext4. Since the system hangs for unknown reasons several times I removed the sdcard, put it in a card reader and did an ext4.fsck on it. Clean was the result. Then I forced a check with -f -p. The result was: solfire:/rootfsck.ext4 -f -p /dev/sdb2 rootfs: Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found. rootfs: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. (i.e., without -a or -p options) [1]18644 exit 4 fsck.ext4 -f -p /dev/sdb2 Return code 4 means 4- File system errors left uncorrected which indicates nothing and all at the same time. At this point I started to write this mail. Before I fscked the sdcard I mounted the FS and tar'ed everything on it into a backup file. The tar process did not return an error. Since it costs A LOT OF TIME to compile everything from source on a 1GHz CPUed embedded system natively - and for abvious different other reasons - I am very interested in doing the next steps correctly. What can I do to eliminate the problem without data loss (best case) or to save the most while knowing what and where the corrupted data are located on the system? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc

I bet it's /usr/lib64/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
I have /usr/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules (on a 64-bit system),
which contains the lines :
# select system RTC or just use the first one
SUBSYSTEM==rtc, ATTR{hctosys}==1, SYMLINK+=rtc
SUBSYSTEM==rtc, KERNEL==rtc0, SYMLINK+=rtc,

However, in /dev I have :
crw--- 1 root root 10, 135 Aug 25 07:39 /dev/rtc
ie it's not a symlink. I'm using udev-204 .

[gentoo-user] Makeing /dev/rtc1 accessible as soon as possible - how?
Hi, There are two RTCs in my system: /dev/rtc0 and /dev/rtc1 rtc0 is not powered by a battery and forgets time/date with system shutdown and rtc1 is a I2C-rtc (DS3231) which is powered by a battery. It is extremly accurate in comparison with rtc0. rtc0 is accessible with system boot - rtc1 is not (current state). To make rtc1 completly know to the system, I have to do a echo ds3231 0x68 ! /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device hwclock -f /dev/rtc1 -s in beforehand. I wrote a script for /etc/init.d, which does exactly this, and the system login screen shows the correct tome/date information even without ntp-client (the system should become independantly from lan/internet). The script was added to the boot service and executed after dev and modules. The kernel is configured to use /dev/rtc1 and the driver for the ds1307, which also handles the ds3231, is included into the kernel (no module). But it seems, that setting the system time this way is too late, since there are still (for example) log files under /var/log with a timestamp of the 1.1.1970. Are there any other way to make rtc1 known and accessible earlier to the system as the hack via a script in /etc/init.d ? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc

William Kenworthy bi...@iinet.net.au [13-08-25 06:32]: or if you have an initramfs do it there before control is passed to the OS. You may also be able to set rtc0 to the current time in the initramfs as well. BillK On 25/08/13 12:18, Mark David Dumlao wrote: Which runlevel did you put your script on? You probably want it on sysinit, rather than default. Also, you can put rc_before= and rc_after= in the corresponding /etc/conf.d/ file and make sure it runs before your syslog but after your sysfs.

Best regards, mcc Hi Mark, hi William, the script ds3231 in /etc/init.d is -- according to rc-update -- set as folows: ds3231 | boot There is no corresponding file in /etc/conf.d since the script onlu consist of two commands (see previous posting). There is no initramfs. Since hwclock needs /dev/rtc1 to work, the script cannot be executed before /dev/. is up. Is there an text/tutorial/... or such somewhere on the net, which shows the sequence, in which the usual services/scripts in /etc/init.d get started/executed while the system boots? Best regads, mcc
[gentoo-user] Two RTCs - how to choose in dependence of existence to eth0
Hi, there are two RTC in my system. One is powered by the power of the system itsself and will forget space and time if the system is powered off. This is RTC0. The second one is powered by a little CR3216. This one will not forget the time. This is RTC1 The system itsself is portable and will be used with and without access to the internet (no ethernet, no eth0). Surely it is possible to hack together a script which will run at boot time to figure out the source of the valid time. But this is somehow less elegant and gentoo-ish as it should be. I didnt found an application (via eix) which address this problem. What is the recommended way to accomplish this task? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc

I have digged a little deeper...
The gcc which comes with the prepared stage3 image for the Gentoo on
Beaglebone/Black includes gcc 4.6.3.
As shown above the USE flag lto is disabled.
Nonetheless gcc reports -flto when called with
gcc --help=optimizers
reports:
-flto-reportReport various link-time optimization statistics
This output i grepped by simh's own makefile to detect whether gcc
can be called with -flto or not.
It decides to use -flto while compiling and therefore the process
breaks with
cc1: error: LTO support has not been enabled in this configuration
The previous version of simh - which does not seem to use this feature at all --
compiels fine on the beaglebone.
For me I need to know, whether it is safe to recompile gcc natively on
the beaglebone with lto support enabled via USE flag.
This compilation will take about eight hours.
So it would be fine to decide on a little bit more than try and error. ;)
Or how can I circumvent the described problems?
Best regards,
mcc

Everything was done as root. I think this is the output of `rm -vi $file` not `rm -v $file` - this suggests you have at least one alias enabled. This is probably a red herring, but I would try everything again ensuring no aliases or other user shell customisations enabled. Stroller.

I mean, it's pretty obvious that you'd get this error if the directory wasn't writable, right? So posting here you need to *show* it's writable. So please post the output of: ls -ld /tmp/ ls -l /tmp/ touch /tmp/foobar123 chmod 777 /tmp/foobar123 ls -l /tmp/foobar123 rm -v /tmp/foobar123 I would also try testing whether you can sync using the `emerge --sync` command, instead. I would guess that you're escalating to root permissions when using emerge and that the eix user has insufficient write permissions for some reason. No offence, mate, but a Gentoo user shouldn't need to be told this. You surely have a couple of years of Linux experience, so you know how to create and list a file; even if you don't know the `chmod` command, you must know what permissions are and that they sometimes prevent an unprivileged user from doing stuff. Aren't you even curious to know if the /tmp directory exists? Page 1 of How to Ask Questions The Smart Way says to tell us what you've done to investigate the problem so far. I can't promise that the steps I've suggested will help identify or fix the problem, but they definitely need doing to show the filesystem exists and doesn't have a write-protect switch accidentally flipped - failure to provide this information implies you're sitting helplessly at home waiting for us to tell you all the answers, even the basics.

In my ~/.config/smplayer/smplayer.ini, I have these lines:

You may want to try setting this to 'check_for_new_version=false' and restart

According to Xorg.0.log and without any additional tasks, X11 recognized this pad as [24.595] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Mouse Pad (/dev/input/event1) [24.595] (**) Mouse Pad: Applying InputClass evdev pointer catchall [24.595] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Mouse Pad' [24.596] (**) Mouse Pad: always reports core events [24.596] (**) evdev: Mouse Pad: Device: /dev/input/event1 [24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Vendor 0x99a Product 0xa002 [24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Found 3 mouse buttons [24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Found scroll wheel(s) [24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Found relative axes [24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Found x and y relative axes [24.596] (II) evdev: Mouse Pad: Configuring as mouse [24.596] (II) evdev: Mouse Pad: Adding scrollwheel support [24.597] (**) evdev: Mouse Pad: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [24.597] (**) evdev: Mouse Pad: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [24.597] (**) Option config_info udev:/sys/devices/platform/omap/musb-ti81xx/musb-hdrc.1/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/input/input1/event1 [24.597] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device Mouse Pad (type: MOUSE, id 7) [24.597] (II) evdev: Mouse Pad: initialized for relative axes.

[24.601] (II) This device may have been added with another device file. It works: That is: I can move the cursor arround and I can perform clicks by tapping on the pad. The mechanical present buttons will be recognized as button 1 and button 3. As far as I can see from the output of xev, double tapping on the pad will also be recognized as button 1. But the log tells me of three button mouse and adding scrollwheel support... I googled for any information but beside a massive presence of Synaptics stuff there was no information I can use... How can I activate/use the additional functionality as reported by the log file? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc

Vie google I found cirquecattouchpadguide_revf.pdf which clearifies the needed geatures. For scrolling one has to move ONE finger on the right edge of the pad. And it scrolls! BUT unfortunately the scrollevents ALWAYS reach the taskbar and I am warped through my desktops regardless of the focus a certain windows has. This even happens, when the cursor and the focus is on the window of xev, with which I tried to catch the even. How can I channelize the events to the focussed window?

You can try uninstalling 'app-text/poppler-0.22' and then running your update

[gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers fail to determine kernel version

[gentoo-user] NFS mounts and uid/gid/user names
Hi, to not to stress the SD-card of my single board computer too much I mounted a directory of my PC via NFS at my single board computer, so that compilations and other task which need to be done while installing will access the hd and not the SD-card. (The singleboard computer is a Cortex A8/OMAP based one: 32 bit. The PC is 64 bit AMD based.) So far so nice...everything works fine: I can see the directory on both ends.

On both sides root is 0:0. When setting chmod 777 /tmp/NFS on the server side, I am able to write at the client side to the that directory, bit listing that files shows me that they become owned by nobody:nobody which is nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/bin/sh on the server side.

Re: [gentoo-user] My PC died. What should I try?
Hi Alex, ...shot in the dark: Remove as much as possible of the cards, addons, connections etc from the PC ... make in as much bare bone as possible. Check All coolers (the little ones also) for dust. Remove all dust even if it is not completly covered with it. Dont forget the internals of the power supply. Detach all cables. Remove the power supply. Go outside ;) and blow the dust inside away. Put the power supply back into the PC again an attach the cables. Remove all RAM, carefully clean the contacts, insert as less RAM as possible. Remove even the HD if it is possible to get into the BIOS without any HD attached. Remove the BIOS battery, wait at least a day and insert it again. Start the PC and go directly into the BIOS. Check the date/time. If it shows the current date/time, the battery wasn't removed long enough. Check the battery voltage. Reinsert the battery. If your board has a BIOS reset: Reset the BIOS. Then: In the BIOS enter a page which does something (reports continously temperatures for example). If this is possible, let the PC run for a while that BIOS page and see, whether it hangs again or not. If all went fine, add ONE component and try it again. Add the HD at last to sort out hardware from software bugs... May be one of the components and not the CPU or motherboard causes the problem and you will be able to identify it by this procedure... HTH! GOOD LUCK! Best regard, mcc Alex Schuster wo...@wonkology.org [12-08-17 09:56]: Hi there! Two days ago, my PC suddenly died, after working fine for half a year. I used myrtcwake as usual to suspend to RAM, and it woke up in the morning. But after two minutes, the screen went blank and nothing, even SysRq, gave a reaction. I tried booting a couple of times again, and sometimes it did not even reach KDM. Now, I cannot even run Grub (from my USB stick) any more, I only see a GRUB string at the top right, then nothing happens. Booting with SystemRescueCD also freezes sometimes. If not, I can make it freeze after seconds by running 'memtester'. Booting good old memtest86 ran for an hour and only found one error, then I aborted, removed three of my four memory modules (4GB each), and tried different ones in the first bank. Memtest86 again did not find much errors, but froze once. Running memtester after booting from SystemrescueCD again makes the thing freeze in seconds. It once also froze while being in the BIOs setup. What could be the problem? CPU, board, or even the PSU? I do not think it has to do with bad memory. I removed most of the other stuff (hard drives, PCI cards). I have no similar hardware so I cannot simply exchange things, the question is what to buy and try. How would you proceed? The fan is still working, the cooler does not become hot, and in the BIOS there are not high temperatures begin reported. But one thing was strange: I updated Calligra from 2.4 to 2.5 (I think), and it took ages, at least 8 hours. I thought there may b something strange with the build process of this new version, forcing MAKEOPTS=-j1 and such, but still this is very long. But when working with it, I did not notice anything strange like sluggish reactions, and videos played fine. But I did not use it as much as I normally do, and maybe even when overheated and throttled down it would have been fast enough for me to not notice this. I watch the syslog normally, but maybe I just did not look closely that day, I was busy doing other stuff. CPUs don't just die, do they? Even when overheating, I think these days throttle down, so no permanent harm should be done? So maybe it's the board? It looks okay, no bent or leaking capacitors. This is really annoying. Of course most of my passwords are in my KDE wallet I cannot access. There's also Wiki, CVS and Git repositories, not needed every day, but still important. And the timinig is very bad, I just started my new job the day the problem happened, and I do not have much time for this now. Before, I was working at home, so I would have had all day to diagnose and try things. It's an AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core CPU, and an ASRock 880GMH/U3S3 board. Wonko
Re: [gentoo-user] Getting apvlv running (My excellent adventure)
Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org [12-08-09 05:11]: Earlier this year, my ISP changed their billing notification emails from application/pdf to application/octet-stream. Trying to view it from mutt showed binary gobbledygook. After some flailing around, I found out that I had to put an entry into .mailcap, namely... application/octet-stream; mimeopen %s When I tried to open a pdf file from mutt, I got a text dialogue asking me which program to use. I chose /usr/bin/epdfview, and mutt has used that as the default ever since. Now epdfview is masked for removal in a few weeks. apvlv is the recommended lightweight alternative. After some screwing around and discovering an obscure bug in the apvlv ebuild, I finally got apvlv up and running. You ***MUST*** build poppler with USE=xpdf-headers, or else the apvlv ebuild dies. I reported the bug, and the apvlv ebuild now should check for app-text/poppler[xpf-headers]. I emerged and ran rox-mime-editor and have no clue what to do to change from epdfview to apvlv. There are no man or info files for rox-mime-editor. Is there a better alternative mime-editor? As a heavy-handed solution, I searched for the string epdfview in ~/.local. In ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list I found an entry for pdf using epdfview. I zapped that line, and tried reading the pdf in mutt. I got the text dialogue again, and specified /usr/bin/apvlv. mutt now uses it all the time for pdf files. In contrast, Firefox is much easier, with a dialogue for applications. -- Walter Dnes waltd...@waltdnes.org Hi Walter, thanks for the hints! :) Now apvlv works for me... Best regards, mcc

Best regards, mcc package.keywords can be a directory instead of a file, in which case the file that ends up getting used is the concatenation of all of the files in the directory. It lets you split your keywords up rather than having one large monolithic file.

You have to be careful not to leave any xxx~ backup files in the directory, because they count as well. The same applies to package.use. The new style is for the file/directory to be called package.accept_keywords. There's more info in man 5 portage.

[gentoo-user] Single user mode without keyboard ?
Hi, For the described I am using an IBM model M keyboard (PS2) which is connected with a blue cube OS2-USB adaptor to a USB-port of my PC. this all had worked before: When grub comes up, I entered the password to access the grub command lines for the kernel boot, add an S at the end of that line, hit enter and B for boot. The system comes up and asked for the root password or to hit CTRL-D to boot into normal mode. Now, I can enter the grub and add an S to the commandline and boot the kernel by pressing B. When the kernel asks for the root password, the keyboard is no longer recognized. No chance other than to press the power button. How can I fix that? Best regards, mcc

[gentoo-user] eix output and libpng
Hi,
Blender wants libpng-1.2 and libpng-1.5 seems to be more recent. I
forced the installation of version 1.2.49 for test purposes.
If I do a
eix libpng
I get (beside other things):
[I] media-libs/libpng
Available versions:
(1.2) 1.2.49 ~1.2.50
(0) 1.5.10 ~1.5.11 ~1.5.12
{apng neon static-libs}
Installed versions: 1.2.49(1.2)(04:53:36 07/20/12) 1.5.10(01:18:39
04/09/12)(apng -neon -static-libs)
Homepage:http://www.libpng.org/
Description: Portable Network Graphics library
What is the meaning of
(1.2) 1.2.49 ~1.2.50
(0) 1.5.10 ~1.5.11 ~1.5.12
in the above output (specifically the '(1.2)' and (0)')?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

Things are becoming much clearer now! /THIS/ is the reason for which I wasn't able to locate the source of Angstrom on the Angstrom pages ;) :))) Thank your very much for the info!! Best regards, mcc
