[gentoo-user] genkernel-next will not mount /usr but genkernel will
Hi folks. I wanted to switch to using genkernel-next instead of genkernel so eventually I could switch to using systemd. However genkernel-next-50 will not mount my /usr file system. I have everything on lvm volumes, except my /boot which is a regular partition. With the regular genkernel /usr is mounted, but I can't even test systemd bedcause it looks for realinit before /usr is even mounted. My genkernel command line is: genkernel --no-clean --no-splash --lvm --e2fsprogs --kerneldir=/usr/src/linux-3.6.2-gentoo initramfs Now when I use genkernel-next, it would not mount /usr because it said no such file or directory -- I guess its mount point -- not sure of that. It would not execute udev because it said there was a missing library. So, how can this be fixed? Is there a bug in genkernel-next? Thanks in advance for any ideas. -- Your life is like a penny.

Re: [gentoo-user] Tcp Listener
Maybe I miss your problem.But there is a command line program names 'netcat', which can send/receive TCP/UDP messages. also would be nice to check its source code if you are interested to writing your own. 2014-02-04 xarman manousidis@gmail.com: I'm interested in making a TCP Listener in C / C++ on Linux to accept many connections simultaneously. I did a relative search on the Web and although I am aware of the C language as to a certain extent, I struggle to find a model program. Essentially, it is the listener of a server that receives a signal and stores it in a database and do some other functions. I know how to do the functions but I'm looking for a way to fix the basic skeleton of listener that will be always active. I'm not sure if I need multi threading or multi socketing for multi connections. If you have any knowledge on the subject or have a simple example or even some reference in order to work on that, I'd appreciate it.

Got any strings options/scripts to only filter out the english readable parts of mostly binary files? Manual parsing is a drag.. What/where could the system be corrupted to only attempt to use those modules from 3.10.25? Your kernels look fine actually. All kernel images have that large collection of attention-grabbing strings, they seem to be regular compiled in error messages. And the version numbers are fine. I've just built 3.13.1-gentoo here and my perms come out right, so it's not a bug that e.g. snuck into that one version's Makefile. And I know of no way for a bootloader to influence what a kernel image thinks it's version is or how to get to it's modules (it would be a huge attack vector if a bootloader could do that) I think I'm all out of ideas now, you might have to consult with some kernel guys.

You need to specify the openrc-force USE flag for
gnome-settings-daemon. Be aware that this is not really supported, you
will have reduced functionality, and somethings will probably fail.

No, he said earlier in the thread that this is an ancient box using the old deprecated IDE subsystem. His fstab refers to drives as hd? Yes, I saw that after I hit Send. (So what else is new?) Seems to me that too many things need updating before Joseph can switch to the latest thing in init systems. Maybe he should go back to his last working system (from backup?), go through his kernel config piecemeal, setting sensible options, and generally bring the box up to date. Then he can start experimenting with the latest ideas. (Sorry Joseph, I don't mean to talk about you as though you weren't here!) I forget: how many years is it since the ancient /dev/hd? scheme was superseded and deprecated? Dim memory tells me it's somewhere around 2006/7? I agree with your suggested approach. Joseph should first get world fully updated and synced, then switch the kernel disk system over to the new framework, verify all that as working nicely, and only then activate systemd. Like Canek said, systemd doesn't magically get installed and them just work. It runs at too low a level for that to happen in all cases. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com I'm running on this box linux-3.10.17-gentoo so it is fairly new. I updated my world 1-month ago. I usually update every three months. First backup system, if there are no major issues after a week or so I upgrade few other system and if everything goes smooth I upgrade the main system with the same three. Is is possible to have packages without systemd flag. I was just rebuilding gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon and it wants to pull-in: sys-apps/systemd-208-r2 and this conflicts with udev. I'm not switching to systemd anytime soon, got burned recently and have no time to learn new configuration settings. As I said in the other thread, you need to set the openrc-force USE flag for gnome-settings-daemon. Again, this is not really supported, it will result in reduced functionality, and somethings will probably fail. And since most of the underlying infrastructure of Xfce is really GNOME, this probably will happen with more and more packages in the future, as more and more things start using the more sane and advanced functionality of logind.
