Thats a perfect example why in there is a message when an emerge dies.

It says:

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.7/work/lzma-4.32.7/config.log

So always do what it says and the help will be fast.

[gentoo-user] ATI radeon problems

[Jacques Montier]

Hi all,

I have two major problems with my 9600 ATI (RV350) graphic card

- With the free radeon driver (x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.12.1-r1) :
After few minutes, while emerging or working with some software (Gimp),
%CPU increases and then X completely freezes. Then reset... :-(

- The proprietary ATI driver (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.582) can't
compile with gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r4.
It asks me to set CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y in the kernel config.
But there is no CONFIG_PCI_MSI line in the .config !!!

Any idea that would help me ?
Thank you very much,

Is CONFIG_PCI=y present?

If set to =n the all PCI things are not configured...

CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI=y should also be there, for this an internal 
check if your platform has the possibility to use MSI.

A search for MSI in make menuconfig found this:

 Symbol: ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI [=y] 
  
   Selected by: PCI && X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC

So all of this options should be enabled to get to select PCI_MSI

[gentoo-user] Seamonkey crashes on website.

[Dale]

Hi,

I have ran into a problem here.  When I go to http://wireless.att.com/
Seamonkey crashes.  It does this pretty fast even tho I am on a slow
dial-up connection.  Can someone confirm that this does the same with
them.  Please, don't have anything open that hasn't been saved. 

How do I find out why this is crashing?  If it is just me, what do I
do?  If it happens to others, is it Seamonkey or AT&T?  I prefer to
blame AT&T myself.  lol  Some additional info:

#CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI is not set, and i don't see the line in make
menuconfig.
I suppose i have to select another option to make it appear, but i can't
find the good one...

  
  

make menuconfig
hit '/' button to search
serach for MSI
it will show you what you need to know.


  

Ok, i forgot that very useful "/" button !
I hit it and found i hadn't selected Local APIC Support on
uniprocessors.
Now : 
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI=y
CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y

Next step, i try to emerge ati-drivers...
Thanks a lot for your help !

Thanks for testing the link.  That helps.  I also ran seamonkey in a
console to see what error it produces when it crashes.  This is what I got:

/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 24240 Segmentation fault 
$(type -P aoss) "$mozbin" $xulparams "$@"

I did a google search and most seam to think it is a low memory issue. 
I have 2Gbs of ram here.  I am in the middle of compiling OOo but still,
this should be more than enough.  Here is the output of meminfo:

Oh yes - that's great :)

I think it was triggered when I ran "emerge -pvuND world" after
"--sync".

Unfortunately I had other things on my mind at that time, so I can't
remember well.

Hmm... from another [gentoo-user] thread I
found /usr/portage/metadata/news/ , but how can I reproduce the event?
I tried "# rm -r /usr/portage/metadata/news/2009-04-06-x_server-1_5/",
and then "eix-sync" and "emerge -pvuND world", but nothing happened...

All news, whether or not it is relevant or has been seen, is shipped
with the portage tree in files named like:
${PORTDIR}/metadata/news/${}-${MM}-${DD}-${TITLE}/
${}-${MM}-${DD}-${TITLE}.${LANGUAGE}.txt

For example, the xorg upgrade announcement is in
${PORTDIR}/metadata/news/2009-04-06-x_server-1_5/
2009-04-06-x_server-1_5.en.txt
and the teTeX to TeXLive migration announcement is in
${PORTDIR}/metadata/news/2009-04-06-tetex/2009-04-06-tetex.en.txt
(note that ${PORTDIR} is /usr/portage on most systems, unless you
changed it in /etc/make.conf)

Therefore, no matter what you do, so long as you do not delete the
portage tree itself (and if you do, just `emerge --sync`), you will have
a copy of every news item published (all 4 of them, so far), as of your
last sync.

[ KH can't reproduce, using Seamonkey 1.15 ]

I can't reproduce that either; the site loads/works fine for me.  The site
does use flash; perhaps it's a problem there?  It might be worth turning
on flashblock or otherwise disabling flash.  Another suggestion would be
to try it from a shell with a different home directory, to take your
.mozilla out of the mix (you could mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.old
temporarily, or just do
HOME=/tmp seamonkey http://mobile.att.com so it won't find your .mozilla
directory and will start fresh/clean.

Based on your memory and swap usage, it doesn't look to me like that's the
issue.

I ordered a TripleE as well and to prepare for it (in NL only versions
available are with MSWinXP :( ) I created a usb-key yesterday.

Was quite easy using "unetbootin", it's in the portage tree.
There is also a MS Windows version of this tool.
"emerge -va unetbootin"
It can build the USB-boot-stick using ISO-images

Wants to run as root, and make sure you pre-format the usb-stick with
vfat. If it keeps failing, fall back to having your XP-box format the
usb-stick, had to do this myself.

Try this simple python script to check smtp capability of your server:

Just save it into some file like "smtp_test.py", replace "domain" with

[gentoo-user] unable to shutdown or halt cleanly (console-kit and esd not killed)

[Allan Gottlieb]

Often (now, perhaps always) when I try to halt using either
   halt
from the command line or the
   shutdown
option from the gnome dialog box at the welcome screen
the effort fails.

If I try to shutdown from gnome, the shutdown hangs at
the unmounting file systems.

I then tried
   shutdown now
from a text terminal.
When in single user mode, I tried
   umount -a
which indicated that several filesystems were still busy.

I tried
   lsof
and noticed that console-kit-daemon and esd
were still running.

I manually kill console-kit-daemon and can then halt.

/var/log/messages contains
Apr  8 00:32:46 allan console-kit-daemon[6139]: GLib-CRITICAL: 
g_async_queue_unref: assertion `queue->waiting_threads == 0' failed

I would appreciate help in understanding why policy-kit-daemon is not
terminating on a normal system shutdown.

thanks,
allan

I only have US keyboards so I can't say how it should be done. :)
According to the message when you emerge hal, it says:

 * If you wish to use a non US layout, you may do so by executing:
 * setxkbmap  or by utilizing your Desktop Environment's
 * Keyboard Layout Settings mechanism.
 * Under GNOME, this is gnome-keyboard-properties, and under KDE
 * it is kxkb.

So I think setting it in xorg.conf is easier, but at least it is not
absolutely required if you can run setxkbmap in your xdm startup. :)

Re: [gentoo-user] problem making bootable usb key

[Simon]

You might be interested in trying Slax (usb distro based on
slackware), the kde environment doesnt suit the size of the monitor
very well on the eeepc (if you have one that is as small as mine at
800x480), but using other wm works perfect.  Slax is extremely small
and comes with ISOs and TGZ that you just decompress in the usbkey and
then execute an install script (shell script or batch in windows) to
make it bootable.

You could use it, in text mode to get your other usb distro working.

Good luck!

I think editing /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi is easier than that, even. :)

Thanks Neil, I'll just inject it.  It's weird though, because portage
came up with a list of dependencies for the perl module I wanted to
install which contained both dev-perl and perl-gcpan packages.  I
don't know why it's having trouble with Date-Manip.

[gentoo-user] Problems with bootstrap stage1, emerge errors

[HObbES]

My google and forum fu are failing me with this. Let me know if you have run 
into this on an Intel box.

Thanks,

-Anne

In building a gentoo, I'm doing the following in my home directory (after sudo):
mkdir gentoo
cd gentoo
tar -xvjpf stage1-x86-2008.0.tar.bz2
tar -xvjpf portage-latest.tar.bz2 usr

cp /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/make.conf to etc
chroot . /bin/bash

emerge --sync

Everything is good up until I run /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh. It looks 
like emerge is failing on portage here (this also happens when doing emerge 
portage):

I ran, as root I'm afraid, HOME=/tmp seamonkey then just typed in the
address.  It worked fine.  It appears to be permissions or something bad
in ~/.mozilla one.  I suspect the later myself. 

Now to go delete all I can and NOT loose my emails.  I got tens of
thousands of emails stored here.  o_O  Pack rat.  Sorry.  lol 

Thanks.

Why are you using a stage 1?

stage 1 is not supported by anyone and was only ever really useful as step 1 
of 3 in building the stage 3 that you *should* be installing.

And I understand this completely. However, it doesn't preclude my need to learn

I'm not really sure to be honest. All three were stored locally from my 
kde-3.5 days (I stopped using gpg quite some time ago). Best guess is that one 
key was my own and the other two imported from key servers. It's likely that 
at least my own key would have been made with a version of gpg from before 
that gpg-2.01 incompatibility mess.

Thanks Joost,

I did an emerge -pv unetbootin earlier but there were lots of blocks and masks 
plus it wants >100M downloads and I only get 2k from dialup here.

Didn't realize there was a Windows version. Better not wipe XP yet!

So I got this:

http://launchpad.net/unetbootin/trunk/276.exe/+download/unetbootin-eeeubuntu-windows-276.exe

(3.5M)and pointed it at the iso. Did the deed and rebooted. Now it's telling me:

Loading /ubnkern
Invalid or corrupt kernel image. 

So I guess it's back to the Wifi Cafe to dawdle over my coffee for an hour 
while I download another. Better run the checksum this time -- if Xandros has 
the tool!

Well, I lost the last message so I have to reply to this one.  I tried
to rename .mozilla to .mozilla.old, open Seamonkey so it would create a
fresh start, then copy my Mail directory over.  My emails didn't show
up.  I would like to get a fresh start but what do I need to copy in
addition to the Mail directory?  I think there may be a file or
something that I am missing.

By the way, with a fresh .mozilla, it works fine.  It's just a bad file
somewhere.  Oh, I also would like to restore my password manager file
too.  I can't remember all those passwords. 

Helpful hints would be appreciated.

[gentoo-user] jagged, grey, fine, horizontal lines on xterm border

[7v5w7go9ub0o]

Just upgraded to xorg-server-1.5.3-r5, and now I see some sort of
pattern on the edge of my xterms; reminiscent of the gray background of
basic xwindows.

I seem to recall seeing this years ago, and having to modify a
configuration somewhere (e.g. with "solid" or "black" or ??). Can't
remember if it was a fluxbox configuration, .Xdefaults, XDM, Xorg, or
.

Would love to see this go away. any ideas, please?

TIA

The config option you refer to is "-br"

It's an option to X, so set it up in whatever you use to start X (kdm, gdm, 
startx, etc)

[gentoo-user] xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 log messages

[Mick]

Hi All,

With my new xorg almost there from a configuration perspective I can see these 
warnings now in my log:

(WW) xf86OpenConsole: setpgid failed: Operation not permitted
(WW) xf86OpenConsole: setsid failed: Operation not permitted

I am not sure if this is good, bad, or indifferent.  I can guess that from a 
security perspective it's good, but I have no understanding what it means 
from a performance/functional perspective.

Also, I am getting this message:

(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF" does not exist.
Entry deleted from font path.

Anything recommended to do here?

These are common and shouldn't be causing any problems.  I'm not 
completely clear why X is trying to do what it's doing but those 
functions are used to manage process groups that relate processes for 
signalling purposes.  Since X is clearly still working, these failures 
should be harmless.



(WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/OTF" does not exist.

This is also completely harmless.  It just means X has this path in its 
default list of font paths, but you don't have those fonts installed, so 
it's taking it out of its list.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Doesn't seem to work. I typically start my xsession with startx, so it 
is easy to do "startx -br" - no effect.


(Took a quick look inside startx, and it reviews that "-br" is a default 
anyway.)


Any other possibilities?

[gentoo-user] Web server mirror

[Momesso Andrea]

I'm not a professional admin, but I run a web server that was supposed
to be a small system for a couple of users (my wife and her students),
and now became something bigger with some amount of traffic, and some
people rely on it for critical data.

Since the scope of the site changed I'd like to add some extra security.
As now all I have are dayly snapshot backup of the server hard disk on
an external disk and weekly I move one of those snapshot on a disk that
I store off site and is used only for this scope.

In the same lan I also run another machine that I use as a home server
for personal purpose.
I'd like to keep a mirror of all the webapps running on the main server
in this machine for two puroposes:

1) Have a backup working site, so that if something goes wrong, in the
time I reinstall from backup, fix hardware or wathever, I can redirect
the traffic on the salve machine (possibly in read only mode).

2) Keeping a copy of the working site on a virtual host in the other
machine allows the admin (my wife) to test new stuff, change things, add
modules, without putting in danger the main site.

What I ask is some advice on best practice to achieve the needed result;
I suppose that all I need is to rsync the webserver directory in a
virtual server on the slave machine and to dump the databases, but I'm
not sure this will be enough.

The server runs not only static content, but also a Joomla site, a
mediawiki wiki, Moodle ecc.

Any idea or suggestion from more experienced admins would be
appreciated, thanks in advance.

Put them both behind a NAT.  When one goes down, you NAT the port to the

rsync does the mirroring, NAT does the redirection of traffic.  Those 
are the tools used by most to achieve what you described.

Use CARP (HSRP) - it's better solution IMHO and does not require

It will work.  The way I do it with AutoMySQLBackup:

  http://members.lycos.co.uk/wipe_out/automysqlbackup

It's a simple but powerful script that backs up MySQL databases (all of 
them by specifying "all" or just a select few).  It keeps 4 copies per 
month (one for each week), 7 copies per week (one for each day), one 
latest copy plus monthly ones.  You put it in /etc/cron.daily, edit it 
and make it executable.  It has documentation so you can probably figure 
it out easily.


If the main machine goes down, you import all the backed up databases on 
the other machine.


Another way to do it is to run MySQL on the same machine that does the 
NAT, but in this case you can not operate both machines behind it at the 
same time (that would mean the two Joomlas installed on both would try 
to access the same database at the same time; that won't work and will 
probably damage the database.)

OpenType (the catchy name for an OTF font) is basically the successor to

[gentoo-user] Moving Seamonkey email directory.

[Dale]

On another thread I had trouble with Seamonkey crashing on certain
websites.  After some other people said it worked for them and some
testing on my end, we figured out it was a bad file somewhere in
~/.mozilla.  I need to transfer my emails to the new clean .mozilla
directory.  This is what I have done so far:

1: move .mozilla to another directory using cp -av  I moved it to my
data directory.
2: delete ~/.mozilla
3: open Seamonkey and let it recreate the new .mozilla directory.
4: close Seamonkey
5: copy the old Mail directory to the new ~/.mozilla directory.  I made
sure it went to the right place too.  You know, in the default then some
weird number thing. 
6: open Seamonkey and see if the mail is there.  It's not.

I did check to make sure the permissions were correct.  I feel like
there may be another file or something that I need to copy but am missing. 

Is there a how to for this?  Has someone did this recently successfully
and like to share how they did it?  Could I just delete everything but
the Mail directory and that work? 

Thanks

I think that strange architectures/hardware may still require a stage 1 (not 
sure as it has been a few years since I last tried it).

I might have a 2004 installation CD somewhere with the handbook on it - please 
let me know if you can't find it and I'll start searching.  Also, it may well 
be archived somewhere on the Internet ...

[gentoo-user] Should we disable FORTIFY_SOURCE for packages where it is not default?

[Jorge Morais]

From the info page of GCC 4.3.3
NOTE: In Gentoo, `-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' is set by default, and is
 activated when `-O' is set to 2 or higher.  This enables additional
 compile-time and run-time checks for several libc functions.  To
 disable, specify either `-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE' or
 `-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0'.

I have seen some FORTIFY_SOURCE bugs in the bugzilla and in some cases,
people claim the the bug lies in the FORTIFY_SOURCE feature itself
(that is, people claim that FORTIFY_SOURCE misidentifies a buffer overflow).
One example: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257016

I have installed GCC-4.3.3 (but have not enabled it through gcc-config yet),
but my system is otherwise mostly stable.

1) I would like to use GCC-4.3.3 because it is the latest bugfix release
and is presumably more bug-free (correct?).

2) But until FORTIFY_SOURCE is stable on Gentoo, I don't want it.
How can I disable it?
If I add -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to CPPFLAGS (this would be the correct
place to add it, right?), wouldn't it disable the feature for every
package, even for those that specify FORTIFY_SOURCE on their own?

I want the traditional behavior: packages that ask for FORTIFY_SOURCE
get it, those that don't ask don't get it.

And of course, do you know if FORTIFY_SOURECE has a significant
performance cost and if it is really ready to be default (as in,
it is unlikely for new false positives to appear)?

Also, am I wise to use GCC 4.3.3 compiler in a mostly stable system?

That's it.  It is the same gray "hash" that appears as the background if
you were to start X using xorgcfg to self generate an xorg-config.

It's obviously something one can learn to live with (I work a lot with
xterms); just irritating that I had it under control a while back, and
suddenly it reappears. I'm guessing that Alan McKinnon has it right, and
that xorg has a minor bug; that the -br parameter no longer works.

If you run xterm +sb it should turn the scrollbar off... if you
previously had the scrollbar and it was just a different color, I'm
not sure how to change that.

When I installed vmware, it told me kernel version and kernel source files’ 
version no match.

 

I have to kernel upgrade.

I entered “genkernel all”

And vi /boot/grub/grub.conf

You keep your kernel and initrd on the root partition; not even in / 
boot

or a separate partition?

I saw that, I just found it very odd that you don't keep the initramrd  
and kernel image in /boot. Therefore, I was wondering if your issue  
was having not properly configured genkernel. I've never seen anyone  
run a system without /boot, so, is there a chance that's where the  
missing kernel image and initrd are?

You can exclude part of the tree with PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS in
/etc/make.conf:

is there a good reason to remove them, instead of masking?

If you like spending half a day masking hundreds and hundreds of 
packages using an inflated package.mask, then no, there's no good reason :)

Great. That should take care of some troublesome packages. Say I can 
delete these


/var/cache/edb/dep/usr/portage/media-gfx/p???view
/usr/portage/metadata/cache/media-gfx/p???view
/usr/portage/media-gfx/p???view

modify make.conf, and add the package name to the exclusion file.

Thanks,
