[gentoo-user] [X11] radeonhd not working
To eliminate bugs, I'm using this as xorg.conf.new:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
EndSection
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath ...
# ...
FontPath ...
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "dri2"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Radeon HD 4200"
Driver "radeonhd"
EndSection
#end of xorg.conf.new
I get the following error lines in the console:
FATAL: Module radeon not found.
(EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDDRIVersionCheck: drmOpen("radeon",
"pci::05:05.0") failed.
[ 1256.744546] uvesafb: mode switch failed (eax=0x34f, err=0). Trying
again with default timings.
Radeon DRI is compiled into the kernel.
What do I do now?
(It's been quite a long while since I've installed X. My knowledge has
all but vanished.)

According to git, all the r7xx except for rs880 are on the working/testing list. Which sucks, tbh: why did I bother to get integrated when I could've gotten a better motherboard (with 1394 support) and a $50 graphics card? What's the point of getting acceleration to work if the kernel can't modeset correctly? Is it worth compiling radeon_drm + r700 fw into the kernel?

[gentoo-user] dir is rwx but can't create file
Creating files in /tmp, /etc, /lib32, and /var return ENOENT (touch /tmp/foo => strerror(ENOENT)).

Apparently, some subtle data corruption was invisible by fsck -p but noticed by fsck -f. A corrupt inode does explain why the directory was somehow 555 in behavior.

[gentoo-user] forcing file removal, fails with ESTALE
I'm trying to remove a file, yet it fails with ESTALE ("Stale NFS file
handle"). I'm thinking that this is due to a corrupt inode but fsck
fails to fix it.
Is /lib/rc/console/unicode suppoed to be NFS or do I need to do a long
hard fsck of /?

Umount -l fixes inconsistent inodes / directory entries?
I thought only fsck -f could do that.
Anyways, I rebooted into bb (init=/bin/bb) and ran /sbin/jfs_fsck -f /dev/root .
That fixed the stale file handle.
You know it's fsck -f time when dmesg has "jfs_lookup: cannot read #" lines.

Host lookup has nothing to do with this.
Last time I checked, kde doesn't do anything with dnsdomainname.
Also, I don't even have /etc/{init.d,conf.d}/domainname .

If I get a warning message and everything works perfectly then I ignore it.
Example: cannot find hostname.
The problem is somehow related broken dbus + segfaulting X.
And I can't fix either.

Re: [gentoo-user] cannot burn dvd
That didn't help, and I still get the error. At least now it shows the ata exception that can be found in dmesg logs from googling "cdrecord ahci sata". It looks like a controller timeout (this has happened before, causing DMAR error lines in dmesg). Is it worth disabling AHCI or not? And should this be also asked on lkml because this looks like a controller/driver/ahci issue? I don't want to contribute to the information overload between the [PATCH X/Y] foo and other messages.

cdrecord (wodim) had support for dev=/dev/hdX. That was its only advantage.

In short, cdrtools is better.
What are the chances that suid root would be allowed in an ebuild

[gentoo-user] why is fglrx commented out in the xorg-server ebuild?
I need flgrx support for my graphics chip, yet the xorg-server has
this dependency:
!x11-drivers/ati-drivers
However, the following line is right after the block:
# video_cards_fglrx? ( >=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.37.6)
Has fglrx support been removed from xorg-server?
And how can I bring it back in?

Re: [gentoo-user] AMD64 LiveCD 2007.0 problem
Kernel panics can be due to bad ram. Try loading the memtest86 kernel
and leave your computer on for a couple of days. If ram's ok, then the
kernel panic could be something else.

Does fglrx need only the lib or gcc-v3 also?

Hmm...NMI Watchdog sounds like the system crashes due to waiting for
an interrupt for a longer period of time than the watchdog allows.

[gentoo-user] ddcxinfo-knoppix on amd64
Anyone have any clue on how to force use of r32 registers instead of
default (r64) registers? I need this to get ddcxinfo-knoppix working
on amd64.
The code block in particular is in ddcxinfo-knoppix-0.6/lrmi.c:
asm volatile ("std; ins*" : "=D" (edi) : "d" (edx), "0", (edi));
It's too much work for me to port all of the asm to 64-bit so how do I
force the register sizes to be 32-bit?

Re: [gentoo-user] graphviz-2.12 fails to compile
How do I enable custom CFLAGS for graphviz (or at least cancel out the
inlining flag in the ebuilld)?
Also, could this be a gcc-4.2 bug?
If it is, I'll send a bug report to the gcc mailing list.

[gentoo-user] generating HFS+ isos
Unfortunately, genisoimage (current version)'s -hfs options generates old-HFS instead of new-HFS directory table, leading to truncation. Is there a way, (such as libdmg) to create HFS+ (OS 9 / OS X) images without using Toast? -- Andrey Vul
Re: [gentoo-user] generating HFS+ isos
1) Stop the cdrtools vs cdrkit flamewar. 2) I meant HFS+ partition, not Apple extensions to UDF (i.e. generating a dmg file that, for all intents and purposes, is indistinguishable from one made in Disk Utility.app or whatever Macs use to generate DMGs). 3) What I meant was, how to make a hfs *plus* hybrid cd, not hfs *classic* hybrid cd. I.e. / /foo /foo/bar.app /foo/bar.app/Icon\r /foo/bar.app/qwertyasdf.mpkg /foo/bar.app/qwertyasdf.mpkg/... ... /foo/bar.exe /readme.txt with *.app, *.mpkg being in HFS+ and *.exe being in ISO9660/Joliet. I know Toast does this with a fancy GUI, but I don't have the money for a Mac nor the time to install Hackint0sh in VMware. I was asking if cdr$foo (or any other *nix-compatible iso maker) does this by passing a zillion -hide and -hide-hfs parameters (or via fancy GUI, I honestly don't care)? -- Andrey Vul

[gentoo-user] Patch file for cdrtools to allow --duplicates-once
Is there a patch file to patch mkisofs to use the --duplicates-once option during generation of iso9960/UDF images? The problem is that the one that exists right now, the patch (against the official sources) cannot be found because the original site (bootcd.ru) is permanently down. Or do I need to make a table of SHA-1s to weed out the identical files? -- Andrey Vul

The website of the person who patched it (Alex Kopylov) is permanently down. That version is commonly used in order to fit 5 "flavors" of Window$ XP on one CD by hard-linking multiple directory entries to the same sector(s). Anyways, I am building a hybrid CD and there is a chance that there are duplicate files. However, I don't know how to use the output of "find cd-root -type f -or -type l | xargs sha1sum -b" to find duplicate files.

[gentoo-user] framebuffer hangs in 2.6.26
The current kernel that I am running is 2.6.26.5-rt9-gentoo2.
Sporadically this freezes, usually happening during the end of
emerging an ebuild or when stopping gpm. Usually, the fb only freezes
for a few seconds, but sometimes I have to O the machine
(it's unresponsive to {R,S,E,I,K,U}).
I have the feeling that this is a regression because the framebuffer
never froze on 2.6.25.4-rt5-gentoo nor on the kernel on the 2008.0
install/minimal CD.
Any suggestions?

Re: [gentoo-user] Reopen: OpenOffice dies on startup
On an 1.7 GHz Ahtlon Xp with 768 MB of SDR133, it takes about 8 hours if X is *not* running and there are no other emerges nor anything else that is CPU-/RAM-hunry. Basically, turn off X and your research programs for up to 12 hours. nice -n -20 can shave your emerge time even more, at the risk of decreased system responsiveness. The only thing that takes a day or two is emerge -uvD --with-bdeps=y world . Gentoo requires patience, with the reward of fast code. I actually enjoy waiting for compiles to finish, so much so that I install from stage 1 if possible and only use stage 3 if I have to get Gentoo working in a short amount of time.

Nothing in the .config looks suspicious.
It looks like it's inevitable that kernel patching will be needed, at
least, using the preprocessor to "hide" the floppy code.
Try this (it comments out floppy support which happens after NFS support):

You can use the floppy drive, but the kernel cannot run init / use
initrd from a floppy (i.e. you are not allowed to use root=/dev/fd0 or
initrd=/dev/fd0). This is because the floppy is fallback code if the
NFS mount of / fails.
But this is Gentoo, you make your own kernel (hopefully), and never
have to worry about initrd.
/ and /dev/root are used interchangeably, for readabilty, similar to /
and /dev/hdaX.
All I did was comment out the floppy fallback code.
This is how mount_root was originally written:
If CONFIG_ROOT_NFS is defined
If root device is NFS
If the NFS root mounted
Return
Print message "VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.\n"
Set root device as floppy disk 0
If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD (floppy disk) is defined
If the root device is a floppy
If dual initrd/ramload is enabled
If the first partition of the ramdisk image could be
loaded into memory
Set the root device as a ramdisk
Set the root device name as null
Else
Prompt for root floppy
If CONFIG_BLOCK is defined
Create a device named "/dev/root" with the major & minor modes
equal to the root device
Mount "/dev/root" with root device mountflags
If you want more detail, you should post to lkml.
All I have done was replace the following line:
If CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD (floppy disk) is defined
with
If false
}
> Thanks again!!
No problem.
In reality, the fix was simple.
All I did was grep the source tree for the exact string (grep -R "VFS:
Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy" .
)
Then open up vim (or emacs or nano), find the line, and add an #if 0
... #endif block where needed.

He has explicity mentioned that his root device is NFS. You have
misinterpreted the code. The floppy event only occurs *if*

overflow, the returned int is simply (1 << 31) ^ (1 << 31 - 1)

gcc does this without errors
Code [x86/64 only]:
#include
#include
#include
int main() {
double f = 1.5e99;
int i = (int)f;
uint16_t z;
asm("pushf; popw %0;" : "=r"(z));
printf("%d %d %d\n", i, (z & (1 << 11)), (z & 1) );
return 0;
}
In short, your mileage shall vary, so sayeth the standard.

AFAIK, only KDE4 uses Qt 4.
Unmerge x11-libs/qt:4 and emerge the split qt.
Unless you don't have qt installed, then something's weird.
Can you post the output of eix x11-libs/qt -c ?
As long as you don't use USB or any hotplug devices, you can unmerge
and remerge udev at will.

Make backups, then do what you usually do.

Uname returns only the kernel version string. Why glibc is in there is beyond me.
