Re: [gentoo-user] USE flag question
* »Q« ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [14.07.08 01:16]: A few days ago, I used eselect to switch profiles, from default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop to default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop. As I did... A lot of USE flags were removed from my make.conf, including the cpu-optimizations such as sse and mmx. After re-compiling a few things and getting warnings from the ebuilds that video and audio playback would be choppy without those flags, I put them back into my flags in make.conf. If I use ufed to manage the flags, as I'm used to doing, it takes them back out when I save changes. ufed is the bad guy, I think the stable version is not able to handle the new profile layout correctly. It seems strange to me that the profile switch should affect these flags. I think I'm overlooking/misunderstanding something, but I'm not sure what to ask. Any enlightenment (including links to enlightenment) would be appreciated. Use ufed-0.40-r10 from ~ and your use flags are not getting removed. HTH Sebastian -- Religion ist das Opium des Volkes.

[gentoo-user] Curious ping problem with no FW
I've had a problem with being able to ping out to the internet from my gentoo box, while at the same time I'm able to ping outbound from several windows boxes on same home lan. I don't run a firewall at all from linux but do have a Netgear switch/router/Firewall upstream between me and the internet cable modem. Output of iptables -L: reader sudo iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination What I'm asking for here is advice about where to start debugging this. I can ping anything on my home lan, but nothing on the internet. Not even my IP's nameservers. And as mentioned, at the same time I'm able to ping from any of several windows boxes out to the internet. My router/fw can be set to deny specific machines outbound traffic but that is not done in this case. So the solution must reside somewhere in my gentoo install. What things should I be checking. A ping attempt like this: ping ftp.ucsb.edu PING ftp.ucsb.edu (128.111.24.43) 56(84) bytes of data. Just never moves any further, but you can see it has resolved the alpha address to numeric forum so must have contacted and received info from the nameserver. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Unable to mount root dir, Segmentation failure with mount
Hi gentoo-users, I'm running Gentoo flawlessly on my laptop for nearly one year now, but since yesterday, I'm in big trouble. At some instance (surfing in the web,.. nothing horrible) the screen froze and the only thing I was able to do, was pressing the power button 4seconds to shut the computer down. I was never able to boot my system since then. It sayed always things like: Not able to find root file system (or likewise) So I plugged in my live-cd to recover the whole thing... But I wasn't able to mount the root partition, so I tried e2fsck, which turned out to find a whole lot of errors and told me that it corrected them. Thus I retried to mount the file system, which resulted in an big error of mount, saying something about Kernel BUG (?!?) At that point I realized that this could become a major problem for me, since all my personal data is on my root partition (I know, I should't do that...but thats the way things are right now) I used dd to make a copy of this partition to an external hard disk, and begun to recover it from there. dd gave no errors as it copied the partition, so I think this is no hardware failure I rerun e2fsck on the partition, it corrected a little more, but after that, it didn't found anything new, but I still wasn't able to mount the partition (nor the partition dump) The crutial part of the dmesg output seems to be: Assertion failure in cleanup_journal_tail() at fs/jbd/checkpoint.c:430: blocknr != 0 Is this a known issue with ext3 filesystems?

[gentoo-user] grub menu working but invisible
I just updated grub as part of my regular updates and it gave me the message that I should re-install grub to my MBR otherwise stage1 and stage2 would mismatch. I ran grub-install as normal and it (apparently) installed the bootloader without problems. However, now, when I boot up, I don't get a grub menu or anything on the screen. Originally I thought there was a problem and my system wouldn't boot but I tried pressing return and it booted up without problems. I'm just wondering what might've happened to cause grub to become invisible. My splash image, grub.conf and everything looks fine and worked perfectly before the update. Any ideas welcome.

Re: [gentoo-user] Unable to mount root dir, Segmentation failure with mount
2008/7/14 [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi gentoo-users, I'm running Gentoo flawlessly on my laptop for nearly one year now, but since yesterday, I'm in big trouble. At some instance (surfing in the web,.. nothing horrible) the screen froze and the only thing I was able to do, was pressing the power button 4seconds to shut the computer down. I was never able to boot my system since then. It sayed always things like: Not able to find root file system (or likewise) Ouch. So I plugged in my live-cd to recover the whole thing... Good idea. But I wasn't able to mount the root partition, so I tried e2fsck, which turned out to find a whole lot of errors and told me that it corrected them. Not such a good idea. For future reference, unless you don't mind losing the data, always take a block-level snapshot, if possible, before doing anything else. You don't know what state things are in, writing to it could make the situation worse. Thus I retried to mount the file system, which resulted in an big error of mount, saying something about Kernel BUG (?!?) D'oh! Congratulations, you found a kernel bug! :) At that point I realized that this could become a major problem for me, since all my personal data is on my root partition (I know, I should't do that...but thats the way things are right now) Oh dear. You have backups, right? I used dd to make a copy of this partition to an external hard disk, and begun to recover it from there. Excellent! dd gave no errors as it copied the partition, so I think this is no hardware failure Hopefully. I'd be extra careful about backups for a while, though. I rerun e2fsck on the partition, it corrected a little more, but after that, it didn't found anything new, but I still wasn't able to mount the partition (nor the partition dump) The crutial part of the dmesg output seems to be: Assertion failure in cleanup_journal_tail() at fs/jbd/checkpoint.c:430: blocknr != 0 Is this a known issue with ext3 filesystems? Google says someone else hit it once upon a time, but it doesn't seem to be listed on the kernel bugzilla. Your journal is corrupted and the kernel is not being as careful as it should before using on-disk data. If you remove the journal you will hopefully get some or all of your data back. On a *COPY* of the partition image do the following to replace the old journal with a new one: tune2fs -O ^has_journal image e2fsck -f image tune2fs -j image e2fsck -f image If everything looks OK and the data you care about is all there then you can go ahead and fix up your real disk. If you wouldn't mind though, please keep a copy of the corrupted image. I'll prepare a patch to fix the BUG and it would be helpful if you could test it once it is ready.

[gentoo-user] [Solved] Help with battling alsa-lib versions
On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 12:27:40AM -0400, Walter Dnes wrote If I emerge whichever version of alsa-lib-1.0.16 is current, mplayer, audacious, and anything else that relies on alsa don't play audio. However, Realplayer (bleagh) and anything that works off of OSS emulation still works. If i put... =media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.14_rc1-r1 ...into /etc/portage/package.mask, and emerge the older version of alsa-lib, the above programs work fine, but alsactl dies like so... [m3000][root][~] alsactl store alsactl: relocation error: alsactl: symbol snd_tlv_parse_dB_info, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference [m3000][root][~] alsactl restore alsactl: relocation error: alsactl: symbol snd_ctl_get_dB_range, version ALSA_0.9 not defined in file libasound.so.2 with link time reference ...which means that settings can't be saved/restored at shutdown/reboot. This is a PITA, because I have to manually run alsamixer after each reboot, and unmute and re-set all the audio settings. This is the lesser of 2 evils, because no alsa sound is a showstopper. What am I doing wrong? This seems to be a problem only for those of us that start off our USE variables with -*. After a bunch of Google-searching, I found a similar complaint. Apparently, -* wipes out ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS. They recommended fixing it by setting ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS. My /etc/make.conf now contains the following...

It sayed always things like: Not able to find root file system (or likewise) There was good advice from the other users here, but also try a live CD with a more recent kernel (Gentoo 2008.0-r1 for example, or something else like openSUSE 11). Also, if removing the journal doesn't work, try to mount it as ext2 (ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2 so doing that is perfectly OK). As to the cause of this, I suspect a hardware failure due to overheating (laptops tend to do that if you don't open them and give them a thorough cleaning each 10 months or so). I'm an overclocker and things like this can happen when a CPU or chipset overheats (corrupted data starts to get written on disk). The other possibility is that the drive is dying (damaged sectors). -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] gentoo install on Dell restore partition... live?
So, I finally got the OK to nuke another Dell winbox. My dream is to: * Partition the restore partition (3.6 GB) for any small linux installation * make that partition active, bootable, with grub installed * reboot and ssh into that linux machine to finish by toasting NTFS partition and making it my gentoo system '/' as per usual... Can this be done without physical access to the machine which is currently running windows XP? I am administrator and get 'there' via RDP. Any suggestions appreciated in advance.
