Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Linux installed from 2005.1 disk does not start
On 6.10.2005, Charles Trois stated: Joseph Jezak a écrit : If Mackael's suggestion doesn't help, let's try with nvidiafb and a newer kernel: It did not help, causing a kernel panic that I couldn't resolve. Give 2.6.14 a try (there are some release canidates for vanilla sources), apply this patch: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2005-October/019957.html and then try nvidiafb. I have downloaded linux-2.6.14-rc3, but was unable to apply the patch: I put it within /linux and wrote patch --verbose -p1 Patch_nvidiafb Is that not correct? It failed on 5 hunks out of 5. That looks right, but did you clean out the directory beforehand? I ask because the same thing happened to me. Everything worked when I ran make clean in /usr/src/linux before patching. Unfortunately, the patch didn't help, and the kernels i compiled won't boot any more than those compiled with the unpatched 2.6.14-rc3 do. -- Guy Yasko -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-ppc-user@gentoo.org mailing list

At that time, I also reverted the config files. I played some more with it, and noticed the following: 1- If I change the mtime of e.g. /etc/conf.d/alsasound to be further in the past (I set it to July), when I re-emerge alsa-utils-1.0.9a, I get the ._cfg* file and a notice that I should run etc-update. 2- Then, if I reject the update, the mtime of the file doesn't change. 3- If I then re-emerge alsa-utils-1.0.9a, I get *no* ._cfg* file and *no* notice to run etc-update. But I see that the file's mtime has changed to the time of the merge, even though its contents haven't changed. And in /var/db/pkg/media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.9a/CONTENTS, the file is registered with the md5 of the *updated* file (i.e. the contents that should have ended up in the ._cfg* file). I fail to see why portage should behave differently in 1 and 3 above, if I assume that it only uses information from the filesystem. So I'm still confused about the exact rules for proposing an update to config files, and whether or not portage keeps track of *when* a user makes changes to them. -- Remy Remove underscore and suffix in reply address for a timely response. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] portage bugs?
hi! During installation of a new system I recognised two things: 1) `emerge -e system' aborted two times. * The first time the command autoconf was missing so I manually installed the package autoconf. * The second time the command aclocal was missing so I manually installed the package automake (which contains aclocal) I tried `emerge -ep system' an the two packages (autoconf and automake) are mentioned in the list of packages which portage will install. But it seems that portage installs them to late. 2) after `emerge -e system' I tried to install the following packages: `emerge -va reiserfsprogs lvm2 syslog-ng vixie-cron postfix' vixie-cron needs an mta and tries to install ssmtp - which conflicts with postfix. portage didn't recognised that I mentioned an mta on command line. I worked around by mentioning postfix before vixie-cron on command line: `emerge -va reiserfsprogs lvm2 syslo-ng postfix vixie-cron' Then portage recognised postfix and didn't try to install another mta. Shouldn't portage be smart enough to solve this by itself? greetings erwin

You have not said what the actual packages are that come up with an -u but not without, but from this info, I would assume that they are direct dependencies of packages in your world file, and that the packages in your world file themselves are up-to-date. Dependencies are not listed in your world file, so they would not be updated with an emerge world. And indirect dependencies (dependencies of the direct dependencies of the packages in your world file) won't be updated with an emerge -u world, but only an emerge -uD (--deep) world (because the deep dependencies of the package in your world file are not direct dependencies of the package, so -u doesn't get them either) For example, let's take the case of Totem, which is in my world file: emerge -pv totem cfg-update 1.7.1 : Building checksum index...

Is my hard-drive toast? This is the same one you may

Re: [gentoo-user] bad jack(?) performance

At least I can get multiple audio streams multiplexed together. However, the performance leaves something to be desired: it is *extremely* prone to skipping, if my system is under any kind of load. For example, doing an emerge search package will usually cause my XMMS playback to skip. *Moving a window* will almost always cause a skip---not just skip, but freeze for the whole time the window is being moved. Even worse, whenever the screensaver comes on, the player skips. And while the screensaver is active, the music playback will regularly skip every couple seconds. The kicker? My screensaver is just a blank screen! I'd like to think that my system is powerful enough to do normal desktop use without skipping: Athlon XP 2500, 1 GB RAM. Any thoughts as to why the jack performance is so shoddy? Thanks! Matt -- Matt Garman email at: http://raw-sewage.net/index.php?file=email -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Matt, I'm very sorry but I somehow never saw this thread. Please accept my apologies. Did you get this working better? Anyway, I'd say that your machine is certainly fast enough to do good audio work, barring some specific chipset or driver issue which most likely won't be the case. In my experience there are usually just a few things required to get this working. 1) First, let's determine whether you need a new kernel. su to root and run Jack and some simple Jack apps. I'd recommend alsaplayer since it's simple, small and very stable: (Note - this is best done through QJackCtl, but you can do it at the command line if you want.) Choose latency numbers that make sense for your card and your needs. I run at 128/2: jackd -R -dalsa -r44100 -dhw -p128 -n2 Then with Jack running run alsaplayer alsaplayer -o jack Tell alsaplayer to play a wave file or play a CD for a better, longer test. Any skipping? If you have skipping at this point then you most likely need a real-time kernel. My 32-bit machines do not. They run fine with gentoo-sources, but my amd64 doesn't run well and needed a new realtime kernel to work right. 2) Assuming that your tests as root go well, then emerge realtime-lsm. This may require a new kernel if you don't have the right Linux Securities stuff enabled: [ ] Enable access key retention support [*] Enable different security models [ ] Socket and Networking Security Hooks M Default Linux Capabilities Root Plug Support BSD Secure Levels [ ] NSA SELinux Support Reboot into your new kernel if necessary, emerge realtime-lsm at this point. 3) Create a group for realtime access. Here's mine: lightning linux # cat /etc/group | grep realtime realtime:x:600:mark lightning linux # 4) Modprobe realtime at the command line: modprobe realtime gid=600 any=1 5) Assuming this all goes well, redo your tests with alsaplayer and make sure it's working as a user. Enabling realtime operation thorugh realtime-lsm is CRITICAL to making this work well over time. For instance this morning I'm rebuilding glibc as part of an emerge sync / emerge world operation. At the same time I'm doing email on the web as well as playing music with Aqualung on my AMD64 machine. Jack is running at 128/2 and I can go for hours without any xruns. True, we are still working bugs out of the newest kernel (2.6.14-rc3-rt10 as of this morning) but things are starting to work pretty well even on AMD64. My gentoo-sources 32-bit machines can go for days with out an xrun. (Granted, very good RME sound cards that cost as much as the machine are being used) Hope this helps.

RE: [gentoo-user] portage bugs?
FWIW, while bringinging up a new dual AMD64 box last night, I got the exact same abort on autoconf during an emerge system. I solved it the same way, by manualy emerging autoconf and restarting the emerge with the newuse flag. I didnt run into the aclocal problem, instead the emerge of samba caused a second abort for me. That appeared to be a genuine compile error, so I removed the samba use flag and continued the emerge system which completed without further error. On a side note, bringing this box up has been very frustrating. By default the kernel on the install CD enables both CPUs, I spent a week starting and restarting the install from various points. The problem was that the compiles would just stop in the middle of compiling some random package. No error message, no indicated system malfunction of any kind, the compiler just stopped doing anything. It appeared to be just the compiler that was hung, as a ctrl-c would return me to the command prompt. Forcing nosmp and noapic on the boot command line of the install CD resolved that hang. Unfortunately that was after trying a *lot* of other things and command line options.

If so then, CCACHE_SIZE=3G could be used to limit the cache size to 3 gigs, but, what mechanisms, short of a script can be used to prune out old duplicate sources? I guess the download cache is the complemetary companion to setting up your own rsync mirror, as both allow for multiple systems to be updated and synced off of an internal system and only one system syncs or downloads new ebuilds/distfiles)? I set this up both before, but I recall having to use aspects of several documents. In the end, I abandoned syncing off of a single system, as syncing update were sporadically successful, and the scripts and cron entries were not amicable. I meant to get back to this problem to sort it all out. It'd be much simpler if a single document explained all the methods and options and scripts, in a clear, consise manner to use a single system for syncing,cache-ing, updateding, and pruning of disk space. tmpwatch, distcleaner, distclean, yacleaner, repcacheman, dailysync.sh just to mention a few script possibilities . and the 4 basic URLs I looked at to try and sort things out: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml?style=printable http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror. http://gentoo-wiki.com/Http_proxy http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Download_Cache_for_LAN-Http-Replicator USE this URL to automate the updating of Gentoo workstations: http://www.panhorst.com/glcu/ was yet another approach.

Re: [gentoo-user] /usr and /home to another partition
If you want to move directories, avoid wholesale symlinking like this as it always ends in tears ... Using a liveCD, create your partitions and directories, then copy everything over (rsync or tar is best to make sure its accurate), change your fstab then reboot. When you are happy its working, you can recover the old directories at leisure. For the future: I found that since I stated using LVM, this sort of exercise becomes a lot easier, safer and has less downtime.

[gentoo-user] making my own router
I'd like to build a gentoo box to act as a single router between a hardware firewall (appliance) and two internal separate network segments. The goal is to allow both internal segments to access the Internet via the same firewall, but not allow them to see eachother. Here's my general idea - please tell me if it makes sense so far. 1. Cable modem connected to ISP 2. Hardware firewall connected to cable modem on Internet port, and an internal port to eth0 on the Gentoo box 3. Gentoo box has 3 NICs: eth0 connected to the hardware firewall's internal lan port. eth1 connected to switch for internal lan segment 1. eth2 connected to switch for internal lan segment 2 4. Configure the NICs as follows: eth0 and firewall internal port are in 192.168.0.0/24 subnet eth1 is in 192.168.1.0/24 subneteth2 is in 192.168.2.0/24 subnet Sound OK so far? Next steps I think are figuring out how to provide DHCP to both internal subnets from the same Gentoo box, and what gateway address(es) the clients should use. Finally, I need to be able to do port-forwarding from the outside to a specific host on one of the internal subnets. Can I do that? One quandary I have is regarding the hardware firewall. We have money invested in it, but does it buy me anything now that we are creating the 2 separate subnets? Should I just sell it and let the Gentoo box be the firewall as well?

Re: [gentoo-user] making my own router
Unless its limiting you in some fashion, leave it there as an extra layer of protection - dedicated HW firewalls are often more secure than a general purpose machine, but lose out in the flexibility/functionality stakes. You can also get funky and use the gentoo box to detect suspect traffic, and then deny it by uploading the ACL deny to the firewall. Personally, while I really like my gentoo firewall/gateway, I would love to have this option to completely remove traffic I designate from hitting the inner firewall at all. Make the most of it!

Take a look at the RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING setting and comments in /etc/conf.d/rc. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] New kernel and udev

I'm not sure whether I'm using udev now or not. I remember compiling into the kernel last time I did a kernel compile. Naturally, when I did the emerge -Cpv devfsd it complained that I was unemerging something in the system profile, and that it could damage my system. So I just thought I would check here before hurting anything. ;-) Take a look at the RC_DEVICES setting in /etc/conf.d/rc. If that says auto or udev, then you are using udev and can safely remove devfs. Another way to check is to look at the output of mount | grep /dev. Here is what it says for me: udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid) If you are still using devfs, this will probably say type devfs. -Richard No devfs. I guess I was thinking that udev WAS devfs. I also found this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/devfs-guide.xml, which was a help. ;-) Thanks. - -- gentux echo hfouvyAdpy/ofu | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint == 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDRfGVLYGSSmmWCZMRAsZ3AKDFZXbuCAdvDoKUCqbYMpIeihGr/gCgj13N UbMw2lSMTNYZW7fCmWdo8LU= =2zQ2 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] help
kde-base/kdeaccessibility selected: 3.3.2 protected: none omitted: none This one tells me that you've got old versions of KDE merged alongside the current version. I suspect path and library problems are the result... My suggestion is to: ls -ld /var/db/pkg/kde-base/*-3[0-3]* This will give you a list of all old kde packages that are merged. You can then unmerge those, then do a revdep-rebuild. Packages in world:457 This is a huge number of packages. As Benno suggested, this probably means you have [re]merged packages without the --oneshot flag, so they got added to your world file, and portage now things you require those packages regardless of any dependancies. The following script will show you all packages in world that are not depended on by something else. Most (but not ALL!!) can be safely removed from world. For example, sys-portage/portage is not depended on by something else, but it would be very bad to remove it from world!! cat /var/lib/portage/world | while read pkg; do count=`equery depends $pkg | wc -l` test $count -eq 0 echo pkg done This may or may not have an effect on your KDE installation. Mostly, this just a case of portage cleanup. HTH, -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You want to remove from world packages that are included as a dependancy of something else. So that -eq 0 above should be -gt 0. But again, some results are not going to be safe to remove from world, like sys-libs/glibc. Again, my apologies... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Problems with font-color and fbsplash
Hi, I'm using fbsplash for cool booting. I'm working on my own themes, but I've noticed that it doesn't matter what I put on the variable fgcolor or bgcolor, because it will do nothing. Always console color will be GRAY, it doesn't matter if I set on my 1024x768.cfg (for example) fgcolor=8 (white). Thanks, Rafael Fernández. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
