Re: [gentoo-user] Change from udev to eudev?
Dale: ... > Can a system even boot without udev?

Then kernel needs (depending on your setup) to find the root filesystem and then /sbin/init. And init needs to start up the rest of the system. The above have been working wery well for a long time, but if you don't use udev and initrd et al, most (all?) distributions don't help you anymore with it; you have to know yourself how to do it.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo and texlive
I can install the complete texlive with:
wget http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/install-tl-unx.tar.gz
tar zxf install-tl-unx.tar.gz
cd install-tl-20160204/
./install-tl
But I don't understand how to do that with the portage version.
If I do a naive
cd /usr/portage
emerge -auqDN *te*/*texlive*
I get e.g.:
[blocks B ] dev-texlive/texlive-langdutch ("dev-texlive/texlive-langdutch"
is blocking dev-texlive/texlive-langeuropean-2014)
If I do
emerge -auqDN app-text/texlive
I don't get everything in texlive.
///
So should I run the install-tl and add things to
/etc/portage/package.provided (and then what do I add), or run the
emerge thing (and then emerge what) ?

Where's your node? To find that out I'd investigate /sys/bus/usb, either directly or via usb-devices or some other program. I guess "some other program" is probably udev or similar for you, it might not be for me. If it is a usb disk, I just look at the output of sg_map -x -i, and then decide what to do. > That's the whole point of a dynamic dev manager, it responds to devices > changes that occur on normal modern machines and does TheRightThing(tm) > - currently defined as whatever the dev-manager config tells it to do. Ok, I don't have any usb printer, all my printers are network connected and do handle postscript and lpd. And my "dev-manager" tells the system to do nothing till the owner of the system tells it to do so, which is the right thing for me. The right thing might be something else for you. > I'm having a hard time thinking what kind of machine you have in this > day and age that can do mail and also does not need a dynamic device > maanger. Please enlighten us, or are you perhaps using MAKEDEV? Please be aware of that I'm not impling anything about anyone else than me och don't ridicule me. To do mail, all you have to have is a network connection, a mail program and a mail server to relay through. All of that has been done for ages without any program like udev. So I don't understand why you have any problem understanding how that is done, or why you choose such an example. And I don't use MAKEDEV, the dev-nodes are already there, there is no need to create them again. What's the fuss ? ... > Sounds like you made one mistake once and that has now become the world > for you.

No, I did not do the mistake, the upgrade program or the udev installer did. And since udev (or something related to it) mounts something on /dev, which makes it in practice inpossible to unmount. So if udev do not fill up the new fs correctly, the system is hosed, yea, unless I value running mknod by hand and from memory. That very problem I had is probably fixed by now. But I don't see the need to get exposed to it again. If udev had used e.g. /udev and populated that dir seperately from /dev, I would not have that special problem. udev seems to be hardcoded to /dev, but other similar program are more malleable in this regard, and if need arises I wouldn't hesitate to test them.

And I have had a compelling reason to avoid it, when doing an "usual" stable dist-upgrade of Debian lenny to squeze (I think), Debian installed udev per default and everything just stopped working. And that darn thing wouldn't uninstall and /dev wouldn't unmount to get back my /dev-entries. So udev have only giving me pain and no gain. The only thing dynamic theese days are usb. Usb disks I can handle manually, usb kbd/mouse has always worked. I usually don't use more than one keyboard so I don't really need xkb, nor do I need something to autodetect keyboard layout, since I change it to something else anyhow. And udev woun't detect my serial mouse anyhow... so much for that. That said, if I would like to test some "dev-manager" (except myself) than I'd look into something that behaves nicely, like mdev (busybox) or vdev (https://github.com/jcnelson/vdev.git).

Re: [gentoo-user] from Firefox52: NO pure ALSA?, WAS: Firefox 49.0 & Youtube... Audio: No
Regarding the controversy about systemd etc. The problem isn't that systemd is available, or that there exist a company named Red Had or that there exist a developer named Lennart Poettering that develops programs. The problem is that an ever increasing amount of programs list systemd or some of its libs as a depenancy. So it is getting harder and harder to opt out. The situation is similar to the one with udev and variants. Some programs list udev as a requirement even though there is no requirment on technical grounds. I.e. X, I can run X perfectly without udev, I just have to make my own xorg.conf, or I might want to run X with udev since then it handles multiple keyboards with different layouts automatically. It's like when buying a car, some prefer automats, some stick shift. There are pro and cons for both cases. Sometimes its useful and sometimes its not needed, why should I be more or less forced to use it in every case ? No one is expecting me to run a webserver on every systems, why then the heated arguments about this ? It should be my own decision what to install, not someone elses.

The easiest way to know what to expect from the printers network connectivity is to look at the spec. page: https://www.lexmark.com/en_us/printer/12473/Lexmark-C2325dw#specs It looks like many (most?) lasers today can use postscript, lpr and port 9100.

Why can I create a file, which afterwards I am not allowed to read? Even if you cannot read a file you should be able to stat it, like e.g. stat /etc/shadow. It can be some problem with directory permissions, try to cd to your var/lib/mlocate directory and then do a locate -d mlocate.db ...

So, glabels tries to use barcode, but there is no lib found.
Looking at /var/db/pkg/app-text/barcode-0.99/CONTENTS, I see that
barcode doesn't provide a lib.
$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/barcode.git
$ cd barcode
$ cat library.c
...
struct Barcode_Item *Barcode_Create(char *text)
{
struct Barcode_Item *bc;
bc = malloc(sizeof(*bc));
if (!bc) return NULL;
memset(bc, 0, sizeof(*bc));
bc->ascii = strdup(text);
bc->margin = BARCODE_DEFAULT_MARGIN; /* default margin */
return bc;
}
...
So Barcode_Create() exists, but barcode doesn't build the needed
library.

They are exported solely as compatibility symbols to support old binaries. All programs should use strerror or strerror_r instead. " So that means that programs like ngspice won't link with glibc 2.32 or later. Any thoughts ? Regards, /Karl Hammar
[gentoo-user] sci-electronics/ngspice-27-r1 missing tcl
What can I do to make ./configure below use the suggested option ? sci-electronics/ngspice-27-r1's build log contains: checking for tclConfig.sh... can't find Tcl configuration script "tclConfig.sh" Should you add --with-tcl=/usr/lib64 to ./configure arguments? I have /usr/lib64/tclConfig.sh Regards, /Karl Hammar
[gentoo-user] sci-libs/{amd,camd}-2.4.6/ doc wierdness
Both sci-libs/{amd,camd}-2.4.6 gives this error in their build log:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode character ^^H (U+0008)
(inputenc)not set up for use with LaTeX.
And sure enough, somehow theese files begins with backspace. The line
should be "\begin{verbatim}". My guess something has interpreted the
initial "\b" as an escape instead of letting it through.

Yes, this part:
CAMD_UserGuide.pdf:
echo '\begin{verbatim}' > camd_h.tex
expand -8 $(top_srcdir)/Include/camd.h >> camd_h.tex
echo '\end{verbatim}' >> camd_h.tex
-ln -s $(srcdir)/*.{tex,bib} .
$(PDFLATEX) CAMD_UserGuide
$(BIBTEX) CAMD_UserGuide
$(PDFLATEX) CAMD_UserGuide
$(PDFLATEX) CAMD_UserGuide
Unfortunately, different echos handles excapes differently, see e.g.
https://helpmanual.io/man1/echo-posix/
In /bin/sh (dash) echo always converts thoose excapes (a' la sysV),
where bash needs -e to do it (a' la BSD).
One could replace the echos with printf "%s\n" as in
$ printf "%s\n" '\begin' | od -a
000 \ b e g i n nl
Note: echo '\e' is said to be undefined in dashs manual.
///
Also, the $(srcdir) seems defined as ".", and I get this useless link:
# ls -l
total 140
lrwxrwxrwx 1 portage portage13 Dec 16 16:58 '*.{tex,bib}' -> './*.{tex,bib}'

It will probably, cannot test just now, rust is compiling

You can use https://letsencrypt.org/ instead of a self-signed cert: Let's Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority brought to you by the nonprofit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

Just use a celf-certified cert and add an exeption in the web browser, or set up your own CA, (I don't know how) and distribute its cert. Regards, /Karl Hammar
