[gentoo-user] hdparm and write caching
Hello all, Running a box with 2x1TB software raid disks. A while back I read up about disk write caching and it's pros/cons. I then decided to disable it on my box. Edited /etc/conf.d/hdparm and added -W0 for sata_all_args. And added it to the default runlevel. It works, on bootup it turns off write caching. But a while later when KDE is up and running and I check with hdparm -W /dev/sd? write caching is on again. Now, I have two questions, How can I find out what turned it back on, and how can I prevent it? Is it necessary/prudent to turn it off in the first place? At the moment I run a cron job that checks every 10 minutes and turns it off if it is enabled. But that feels like a somewhat ugly solution... Kind regards, Coert Waagmeester

The latter I saw also pulled in and installed the latest version. So, I am confused as to the difference. Thank you for your explanation. Rgds, A simple `emerge xyz` re-emerges xyz even if no update is necessary. Additionally, it adds the package xyz to your @world set. That is a list of packages that you want to keep. If xyz has been installed only because it is a dependency of another package and it is not part of @world, `emerge --depclean` would uninstall the package when it is no longer needed. As an example: Lets say, you install gnome-base/gnome. This will pull in all kinds of packages (the whole Gnome desktop environment). Now you decide to remove gnome. Then you can call `emerge --depclean gnome` to remove gnome itself and then `emerge --depclean` to get rid of everything else that is no longer needed. If you want to re-emerge a package no matter if there is an update or not but you do not want to add it to your @world set, call `emerge --oneshot xyz` or shorter: `emerge -1 xyz`. For example, this is necessary if xyz is a kernel module and you just installed ner kernel sources. A few notes: Your @world set is contained in /var/lib/portage/world. You can edit this file directly to remove or add packages. `emerge --depclean package` only removes the package if it is no longer needed by other packages. This is safer than calling `emerge --clean package`. Do not call `emerge --depclean` on its own. Call `emerge --ask --verbose --depclean` or shorter `emerge -avc`. Check all packages to make sure you do not remove anything you still need, for example portage itself. If you call `emerge --pretend --verbose --depclean package` (short: `emerge -pvc package`), portage will print a list of packages that depend on the package you gave as a parameter. This is more accurate than for example `equery depends package`. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-user] python-2.7 python-updater
KH (Mon, 28 Mar 2011 15:22:55 +0200): I do have python-2.7 and python-3.1 emerged. I just took al look in /usr/lib64/ and I can find trace of python2.4 python2.5 python2.6 python2.7 python3.1 . Are those folders (2.4; 2.5; 2.6) needed anymore? If no, why are the still there? Is there anything else inside those dirs besides *.pyc and *.pyo files? If not, it's safe to remove them. *.py[co] are pre-semi-compiled python programs that python creates upon the first run of a *.py source. Some 1-2 years ago (and before) portage couldn't handle these remnants, as they didn't actually belong to any package. So if you had unmerged a package containing a python program which had been run at least once before the unmerge, the *.py[co] files were left in otherwise empty directories. Python-2.4 and 2.5 may fall into this period of history. 2.6 is odd. If the directories contain something more than *.py[co], the story is different. If there are no files that belong to any package, I believe it's safe to remove them. If something in there does belong to an installed package, a re-emerge should solve the problem. If you need an elegant way of sorting out the chaff, refer to a recent thread on this mailinglist - How can I find all orphaned files?. -rz

Neil Bothwick's posts often have the ==20, but usually just one or two. Some posts are positively riddled with them, to the point of being terribly difficult to parse. Everytime I look at the headers of such a post it says kmail, but not every kmail user has the problem. That's intriguing, considering it's been many years since I used KMail. The =20 is usually caused by a quoted-printable message, meaning either your newsreader cannot handle quoted-printable or the mail-to-news gateway is screwing it up. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 01C: Uncertainty error - Uncertainty may be inadequate. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] Re: sys-forensics/chkrootkit finds INFECTED binaries on ~amd64

I ran chkrootkit manually and found the same messages in the output. chkrootkit is old, has not been updated in years+, and those are false alarms. I got the exact same ones. Basically, chkrootkit is just grepping for a string inside those files: /usr/bin/find: sharefile.h /bin/netstat: sockaddr.h You may find that if you strip those 2 binaries of debug data, the false positives go away. Exactly so. Thanks to you and Mick for the replies.

Re: [gentoo-user] The difference between 'emerge --update xyz' and 'emerge xyz'

If I have a package 'xyz-1.1.0' already installed, and there's a newer 'xyz-1.2.0', what's the difference between 'emerge --update xyz' and 'emerge xyz'? The latter I saw also pulled in and installed the latest version. So, I am confused as to the difference. Thank you for your explanation. Rgds, A simple `emerge xyz` re-emerges xyz even if no update is necessary. Additionally, it adds the package xyz to your @world set. That is a list of packages that you want to keep. If xyz has been installed only because it is a dependency of another package and it is not part of @world, `emerge --depclean` would uninstall the package when it is no longer needed. As an example: Lets say, you install gnome-base/gnome. This will pull in all kinds of packages (the whole Gnome desktop environment). Now you decide to remove gnome. Then you can call `emerge --depclean gnome` to remove gnome itself and then `emerge --depclean` to get rid of everything else that is no longer needed. If you want to re-emerge a package no matter if there is an update or not but you do not want to add it to your @world set, call `emerge --oneshot xyz` or shorter: `emerge -1 xyz`. For example, this is necessary if xyz is a kernel module and you just installed ner kernel sources. A few notes: Your @world set is contained in /var/lib/portage/world. You can edit this file directly to remove or add packages. `emerge --depclean package` only removes the package if it is no longer needed by other packages. This is safer than calling `emerge --clean package`. Do not call `emerge --depclean` on its own. Call `emerge --ask --verbose --depclean` or shorter `emerge -avc`. Check all packages to make sure you do not remove anything you still need, for example portage itself. If you call `emerge --pretend --verbose --depclean package` (short: `emerge -pvc package`), portage will print a list of packages that depend on the package you gave as a parameter. This is more accurate than for example `equery depends package`. Hope this helps, Florian Philipp Thanks! Very clear explanation, and very helpful!

[gentoo-user] New bugzilla has broken search?
Either I'm doing something wrong, or the new bugzilla version at bugs.gentoo.org really sucks at searching. Let's for example go here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/query.cgi?format=specific and select All for Status. Then search for kde-base/kdelibs. It takes a *lot* of time to complete, and worse, it returns a hell of a lot of results that have nothing whatsoever to do with the search query. Did no one else notice?

[gentoo-user] inaccessible virtual machine
Hello, I have been using a windows 7 virtual machine guest with a gentoo linux virtualbox host for a while. I was never able to get sound working on the guest but it works on the host. Recently I decided to re-emerge virtualbox with the USE flag pulseaudio to try to get sound working. After the emerge (list below) I also re-emerged the virtualbox-modules-3.2.12; logged out and rebooted. Now when I try to start virtualbox, it lists the guest machine as inaccessible; no other information is provided by the virtualbox startup window. I would appreciate inputs on how to fix this.
