[gentoo-user] ATI radeon problems
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 ?

Bye,
Daniel
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.

Very well, I carry on. This command: # mv /mnt/usb/memtest86 /mnt/usb/memtest results in a file-not-found msg. And when I try to boot get Missing operating system. I ran through the steps several times to make sure I wasn't leaving something out or adding something that wasn't there but the result was the same. Does it really matter that I'm using 'Buntu? A look at the 'Buntu howtos for this procedure remind me why I prefer the gentoo method. Neil, you there? How did you do it? I don't have a cd/dvd attachment for my tripleE, have to use a usb key. 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. -- Joost

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

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

Re: [gentoo-user] g-cpan creates a file collision problem
Shouldn't g-cpan know that Date-Manip is already installed? It seems to be aware of dev-perl stuff. I can't ignore the collision error unless I inject the package into /etc/portage/profile/package.provided since it stops the emerge. Can you modify the g-pan created euild to depend on the dev-perl package? 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. - Grant

I wonder if there is some incompatibility between the two that causes this ... 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.

Re: [gentoo-user] problem making bootable usb key
Was quite easy using unetbootin, it's in the portage tree. There is also a MS Windows version of this tool. emerge -va unetbootin 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.

[gentoo-user] Web server mirror
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.

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.)

[gentoo-user] Moving Seamonkey email directory.
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 Dale :-) :-)

[gentoo-user] Should we disable FORTIFY_SOURCE for packages where it is not default?
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? -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free. --Linus Torvalds

I entered ¡°genkernel all¡± And vi /boot/grub/grub.conf --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- - default 0 timeout 30 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Gentoo Linux root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda3 initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.27-gentoo-r8 --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- - And reboot.

KIM 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?

Alternatively, you could use texmfind:
mar...@marcec ~ % texmfind stmaryrd

Ooh... cool! Thanks.

All previous replies very helpful.
Thanks.
However texlive-mathextra won't emerge. Any advice? Thanks,

[gentoo-user] eliminating packages/ebuilds from the portage tree
Hello, There are a couple of packages (ebuilds) in the portage tree that I would like to eliminate completely from my system and not get them back after an emerge --sync. Is this possible? Thanks, -- Valmor

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 :)

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.
