Hi,

Sorry for this post. It turns out that it was caused by slowly dying 
wifi router. It was dying for 3 weeks; I was able to see and use the 
network from Ubuntu laptop but not from Gentoo one, thus I've panicked. 
Now the router is finally dead.

Hi all,

Possibly an incompatible rust version, see
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=824066


emerge --info '=www-client/seamonkey-2.53.9.1-r1::gentoo'

[...]

dev-lang/rust: 1.56.1::gentoo
dev-lang/rust-bin: 1.53.0::gentoo

[...]

Of these two versions, it's trying to use 1.56.1, if I'm reading your
build log correctly.


Thanks, it helped.

It very much does matter whether you use a swap file or partition in 
practice. I've just been reading right now a discussion about systemd 
logging and hibernation, and how btrfs handles swap files. It sounds 
nasty.


If you have a swap file, linux creates an immutable file then uses 
direct disk i/o. There's a LOT of unnecessary crap there that could 
go wrong. Just avoid all that trouble and give yourself a decent swap 
partition. (And if you're running btrfs, a lot of this sounds 
experimental and dangerous ...)


Cheers,
Wol




For BTRFS I usually do one partition for the whole system and one
partition for swap and then use subvolumes for /home and anything else
I want to keep separate in case of reinstall.

Since BTRFS is a storage pool model, everything else can dynamically
resize similarly to using LVM.

Swap files in general aren't as reliable if one is planning to
hibernate the system.  Swap files on BTRFS should go through a loop
device unless you set them up really carefully.

There's no reason you can't have both swap files and a swap partition.
 I occasionally end up dynamically adding more when I get a program
that uses a terabyte of virtual but very little resident at a time or
something.

Swap onto zram devices can also be a useful tool if the data being
swapped is more highly compressible than zswap will take advantage of.

Thanks to all for hints. I've created a swap partition.

[gentoo-user] [OT] suggest SSD partitioning

[pat]

Hi,

I've bought a new SSD and I want to install gentoo on it. I'd like to 
heare some suggestions how to partition it. I'm planning small /boot 
partition, / partition and /data (including home) partition. But I'm not 
sure if I should create a swap partition or swap to file. I'm daily 
hibernating the system to disk. And what should be the size od the swap 
same as RAM or bigger?


Thanks

Here's where I would start:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Networking

The handbook is good for more than just the installation process, I've
learned over the years.


Also have a look at:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Networking/Modular

which explains how to configure your /etc/conf.d/net file.  However, 
most

helpful is the well commented netifrc example file itself:

/usr/share/doc/netifrc-0.7.3/net.example.bz2

In there you can see how to configure with a static IP or dhcp each 
interface
in turn.  Copy that to your /etc/conf.d/net and edit it as you see fit. 
 Ask

if you get stuck on anything specific.


This works for me (/etc/conf.d/net):
dhcpcd_enp0s3=""
config_enp0s8="192.168.56.13/24"

You need to be a bit more specific about what you want to do. The
"VirtualBox" command launches the VirtualBox manager.  Are you saying
it didn't get installed for you?  I'm not aware of any other UI for
it.  I don't know if you just made a typo - but the command is not
VurtualBox, it's VirtualBox.

Yes, the VirtualBox command is missing. "VurtualBox" was typo.

Hi,

I want to thank to all for suggestions. The problem was that RAM had 
died. It was slow thus it made me to think that it is HDD.

[gentoo-user] hw problems

[pat]

Hi,

Since last week my gentoo installation start to randomly freeze. The 
first I've detected was during huge disk usage, another was during 
hibernation, etc. I think it might be related to HDD problems, but I 
want to be sure. In kernel log there are some errors, but I'm not able 
to decide if those causes the freezing or not (I've saw such messages 
earlier too, so I'm not sure). So, is there a good diagnostic tool to 
check HW and mainly HDD? What I need to decide is if buying new HDD will 
fix the issue or not.


Thanks a lot

Pat

A simple method would be to set up the PATH for this user to prepend a
local folder,
.e.g  $HOME/bin

Then copy (or symlink) the desired Python version from /usr/bin to 
that

folder under
a different name (i.e. without the (full) version number)

How about this?
echo alias python='python2.7' >> ~user/.bash_profile



Well, this one doesn't work in case at the beginning of the python

#!/usr/bin/env python

I have a "lot of scripts" with this. What I've thought there will be 
possibility to setup python version per user similar as for gcc (I

I had a large partition with reiserfs.
Running fsck always failed due to running out of memory.

Partition was quite a bit larger than 2TB (around 6TB) and contained a
huge (millions) amount of files, but having an fsck become impossible
with 16GB memory available was rather annoying.

Hi,

Thanks to all, it will be dev env, so sources and big DB. I'll try 
reiserfs first (I have long time experiences with this one and have 32GB 
RAM :-D) and if this fails then xfs.

Can you get 100Mbit/s with it?

The laptop I use also has no ethernet.  I bought a USB dongle for that
but it turns out it can only do the original 10Mbit/s, half-duplex; 
much
slower than wifi and even somewhat slower than the WAN connection 
here.


I have a gigabit USB 3.0 to ethernet adaptor here. It's branded Digitus
which probably means nothing, lsusb shows

ID 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet


The one I have is also USB3 and looks fast, but I didn't test it yet - 
right now trying to setup gentoo :-)

Best way to get a handle on what you need for things like this is to
reboot into the live cd and plug in the adapter. Then examine dmesg,
lsmod and othr relevant sources of info to see what the live cd did.
Make notes, replicate that on your gentoo system.

Almost any other method really just comes down to firing in the dark 
and

hoping you might hit something.


Thanks to all for suggestions.

The problem was that I've created net.enp0s20f0u1 and also net.eth0 
links.

 Did you create a symlink for /etc/init.d/net.eth0 and did you add it to the

and I didn't compile driver as module but into kernel and when I switch to

  Still the same :-|
 
  Seems really weird. I can only think the following options:
 
  1. Something is messing up with NetworkManager.
 
  1.a. Can be possible that the /etc/init.d/net.* scripts are
  running alongside NetworkManager? I don't use OpenRC (I moved to
  systemd), but I clearly remember that for NetworkManager to run OK
  in Gentoo you had to disable the net.* services in /etc/rc.conf:
 
  rc_hotplug=!net.*
 
  1.b. Maybe something is wrong with your
  NetworkManager/wpa_supplicant installation; try deleting (after
  making a backup, of course) the following directories/files:
 
  /etc/NetworkManager /etc/wpa_supplicant /etc/conf.d/net
 
  and then emerge again both packages:
 
  emerge -1v networkmanger wpa_supplicant
 
  And try again after a reboot.
 
  2. Maybe (for some weird reason) NetworkManager refuses to work in
  your system. If this is the case, disable all your network
  services (avahi*, cups, NetworkManager, net.*), and boot to a
  console. When I'm dealing with this kind of stuff, I even disable
  X, just to be sure:
 
  rc-update del NetworkManager ... rc-update del xdm reboot
 
  When you are in your console, try connecting to a WEP access point
  by hand:
 
  ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig wlan0 essid MYESSID key MYPASSWORD
  channel MYCHANNEL dhclient/dhcpcd wlan0
 
  If it works, then is something related to NetworkManager.
 
  If it doesn't, I can't really thing of anything else at the
  moment.
 
  Regards, and good luck.
 
  Doesn't seem NetworkManagerrelated - he/she said, that it isn't
  working with wicd either.
  The logs indicate that rfkill disables the device only a few seconds
  after each activation.
 
 Which *could* (I believe) be caused by the /etc/init.d/net.* scripts
 running in parallel to both NM and wicd. I don't know wicd (haven't
 used), but it *could* be a problem with NM.
 
 It's just an idea.
 
 Regards.

Hello,

Thanks for your patience and help. When I started this thread I've newly used
gcc 4.5.3 (rebuild full gentoo installation). This failed. I've moved bask to
previous gcc version (4.4.5) and wireless start working (except
NetworkManager, but wicd is fine). So, I've decided to check if the problem
was the gcc 4.5.3 and recompiled whole gentoo installation to this gcc again.
But to my surprise it works. So, only issue right now is the NetworkManager,
but I can live with that :-) Bad thing is that I don't know what the hell was
wrong.

Thanks for your help

 Did you install the firmwarefiles for your WIFI-adapter?
 
 try:
 
 emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware
 
 If that works, you could uninstall it again and try to narrow it down
 to your specific card - net-wireless/iwl6000-ucode would be my gues...
 
 That could explain, why a livecd works (the firmware is included 
 there).

  but none of these works :-( The kernel config for
  3.0.17-tuxonice-r1 (the kernel I want to use) is
  attached. I've checked wifi functionality on Linux Mint
  11 live CD and it works.
  
  I have no idea what I have to check :-\ (I've checked
  the kernel setup, NetworkManager configuration, a lot
  of kernels :-) and I've also tried wicd).
  
  Could someone help?
  
  Thanks
  
  Pat
  
  You could add:
  
  [logging] level=DEBUG domains=HW,RFKILL,WIFI
  
  to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
  
  and try if you get an usable error...
  
  
  Hello,
  
  the log is attached. To me it looks like there's not an issue
  with NetworkManager, but somewhere else, because, when I turn
  on the wireless toggle button, the wireless control doesn't
  indicate the wireless is on.
  
  Thanks for help

  Did you install the firmwarefiles for your WIFI-adapter?
  
  try:
  
  emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware
  
  If that works, you could uninstall it again and try to narrow it
  down to your specific card - net-wireless/iwl6000-ucode would be my
  gues...
  
  That could explain, why a livecd works (the firmware is included 
  there).
  
  
  
  Yes, I have installed firmware for my wifi adapter, and you are
  right it is iwl6000-ucode. I've tried to uninstall and install it
  again but without success :-( But I'll try the linux-firmware (I
  forget to try it), just in case there will be something missing.
  
  The wifi adapter is: Intel Corporation WiFi Link 6000 Series.
  
  Thanks
  
  Pat
 
 
 Tough nut...
 Are you using dracut? I've tried it and it seems as if I have to
 manually include the firmware file whenever I rebuild my initramfs.

[gentoo-user] lost wireless network

[pat]

Hi,

I've used wireless network about half of a year ago. Now I need it and it
doesn't start :-( My gentoo is up to date.

I'm using network manager (and it's nm-applet).

Wireless info:
description: Wireless interface
product: WiFi Link 6000 Series
vendor: Intel Corporation
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlagn driverversion=3.0.6-tuxonice
firmware=9.221.4.1 build 25532 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE
802.11abgn

After switching on, the dmesg says:
iwlagn :02:00.0: RF_KILL bit toggled to enable radio.
usb 2-1.7: new full speed USB device number 78 using ehci_hcd

but wireless control doesn't indicate that it's on and nm-applies says the
wireless is disabled by hw switch.

It worked on tuxonice-sources-2.6.38-r1 but now it doesn't work on it too :-(
Current kernel is tuxonice-sources-3.0.6 (planing upgrade to 3.0.17, but only
with wireless :-) ).

Please, could someone help me? I have no idea where to start :-\

Thanks

 That means there's a physical toggle switch somewhere on the device
 that's turning the wireless access on and off. Sometimes that's a
 switch on the side, sometimes that's a dedicated button, and 
 sometimes that's something like Fn+(some other keyboard key).
 
 My old Acer Aspire laptop had a wireless toggle button that the side
 of my left hand kept resting on. If my wireless dropped, the first
 thing I always did was poke that button a couple times. (This was
 before any Linux distro properly supported toggling the LED on that
 particular button...)
 
 -- 
 :wq

Sorry my mistake, the first output is with physical toggle switch off and
second one with it on.

My wireless worked about 6 months ago since then I've didn't use it and did a

[gentoo-user] [OT] max size of bash variable value

[pat]

Hi all,

Sorry for this off topic post, but I've been asked how/where to find maximum
size of bash variable value. I've search and found 4M, 1k, 4k ... . But didn't
found how/where this limit is set. I know, that for C it's e.g. sizeof(int),
but for bash?

Thanks for help

 How to set it, I have no idea.

 What happens when you run scanimage -L as root? When I've seen this
 problem before, it was caused by permissions in /dev/usb.
 

Hi,

Nothing :-( Same output as for user: No scanners were identified. If you were
expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on
and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the
documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

 An update to sane-backends appeared when I updated today. This adds
 entries for the LiDE210 to genesys.conf, so updating to 1.0.22 may solve
 this for you.

But when trying to use xsane or scanimage -L ends with information that

files:
/etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap
/etc/sane.d/genesys.conf
/lib/udev/rules.d/41-libsane.rules
so, I've added the correct records, but nothing :-(

Please, could someone help?

[gentoo-user] turn on wifi enables also bluetooth

[pat]

Hello,

I have Dell Latitude E4300 notebook where the wifi and bluetooth (BT) is
turned on by one HW switch. So, on windows if the switch is turned on there is
possible to turn off one of these devices (from windows try stop the device).
Is there something similar in Linux? Some application which is opened right
after turning on of the switch and the application allow me to choose to turn
on wifi or bt or both? Or is there a script which can be used to turn of the
device even if the switch is on?

In common I don't want to turn on BT when using wifi and vice versa.

 Hello,
 
 I didn't set up acpi for power save yet, but I did do it for getting my 
 laptop to go to sleep on lid close, and it was really easy. Since I imagine 
 this might be a function you also want (and I got it working really easily), 
 you might try your hand at this first to be sure acpi events are generally 
 working.
 
 If others had given some more knowledgeable and specific reply, I'd omit 
 comment, since my response is somewhat peripheral. But at least this might be 
 somewhere to start.
 
 I attach my log file for setting up sleep (I omitted what kernel 
 configurations I set, so if you need me to try and figure that out, let me 
 know, since I should have included it in my own log file). I think this 
 requires at least kernel 2.6.27.

The applications are:
- Seamoneky/Firefox
- Java
- Flash
- Audacious
- mplayer
- VirtualBox/VMware
- Qemu
- Kerberos/OpenLDAP/OpenSSH (for these I think they are stable)
- X.org/fluxbox
- system suspending

I have 4GB RAM and I know better is to compile for 64 bits, but for me is more
important stability.

Thanks a lot

 No no.. You're confusing bridges and interfaces. You make ONE bridge

[gentoo-user] virtualbox networking

[pat]

Hello,

I'm trying to setup virtualbox networking. I went through the tutorial at gentoo 
wiki, but I have troubles ... obvious :-(


In the howto there's called /sbin/ip, but I have no idea in which package this 
program rise ;-)


What I need is the bidirectional communication between host and guest.

Thanks for help

That may be one but there is also this one:

#OptionNoTrapSignals

# Uncomment this to disable the CrtlAltFn VT switch sequence
# (where n is 1 through 12).  This allows clients to receive these key
# events.

I think if it is not there, it will work.  Basically, it is disabled 
by default.  I don't have that line at all in my file and it works fine.



I have neither NoTrapSignals nor DontVTSwitch, but I've never
been able to get any of the CtrlAlt keys to work on a
couple of my machines.

  


My xorg.conf file is small.  I attached a copy.  Maybe a side by side or 
a diff will help.  Maybe it is something else that loads up that I have 
that is missing for yours.

 Does your modules list look normal?  I'm not really sure what could 
 cause this or what it is that makes it work.  Not even sure that the 
 kernel makes a difference really.

Problem is this line in the keyboard section:
Option XkbLayout us,cz

Simply, enabling another language disable switching to console (I've check it
for another languages too). Ugh =8-()

If someone is able to explain why that happen and how to solve it for two
languages I'll be glad :-)

But right now I'm setting up the dualhead display, so I need to switch to
console ... after that I'll turn on the language :-D

Well, I've enabled qt3support in make.conf and the my Qt (4.3.3) library

  You can use udev to give them any names you like, see 
  http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

 You can also use the UUID to mount it, which let you distinguish 
 between the different usb devices.
