No, I'm not joking. The file is a bash script, and hence can just be sourced by another bash script, which could then print the relevant information in any desired format. -- Remy I'll try it out. However, as bash doesn't know net syntax, I'd still have to go the extra-mile for stuff such as extracting IP from the config_ variable, when that also contains a netmask (e.g. CIDR notation or netmask definition following the ip).

Maybe some starting processes are conflicting with agetty. I do not think it is very serious problem, as agetty on ttyS0 is always respawned after those 5min.

Jarry wrote: Hi, I have set-up serial console on my server in /etc/inittab: s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 ttyS0 vt100 It mostly works, with one exception: right after boot-up I get this message: INIT: ID s0 respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes Of course, I can see this only on attached monitor, because ttyS0 is dead. After those 5min ttyS0 is again up/running and I can finally log in. I tried lowering port speed down to 9600, but it does not make any difference... How can I control that respawn speed, or prohibit this behavior (disabling ttyS0 for 5min)? I do not like waiting 5min to log in, after I restarted server... Jarry Don't know the answer to yr question. But I'm also not sure if you're asking the right question. When I last saw respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes, it was actually an issue with the spawned process not being able to start. I'm therefore suggesting you'd want to consider checking why agetty cannot run, rather than working around init's behavior. Amit
Re: [gentoo-user] Questions for my first ebuild
Walter Dnes wrote:
I intend to get the Silicon Dust HDHomerun dual tuner box. It has a
linux library and CLI plus a separate gtk+ GUI. The linux source comes
with a makefile that puts stuff in /usr/local. But I want at least a
wrapper ebuild so that Portage knows about the files, and can manage
them. I'd prefer to write my own ebuild rather than depend on somebody
else to always have the most recent version supported somwehere in
layman. I've RTFM'd a lot, including
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/index.html but am still
unsure about a few things. Here's my setup so far...
* The latest file is
http://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/libhdhomerun_20100213.tgz

* I've set PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage in /etc/make.conf

Now for the questions...
1) do I need to create /usr/local/portage/distfiles?
Nope. DISTDIR is /usr/portage/distfiles, even for overlay ebuilds.
2) the provided Makefile is supposed to put everything into the
/usr/local hierarchy. Does portage/emerge over-ride that, and if so,
what do I have to do to get send all files to the /usr/local hierarchy?
Don't know.
But... AFAIK, '/usr/local' is not a location favored by ebuilds. On my
server it's virtually empty:
~ # find /usr/local/ -type f -exec qfile '{}' \;
app-portage/layman (/usr/local/portage/layman/.keep_app-portage_layman-0)
I'd attempt to have my ebuild install to /usr. Most probably that's a
very common procedure when moving from barebones makefile to portage. If
make can't help you w/that (e.g. --prefix /usr or something like that),
try browsing other ebuilds. qgrep is a handy tool for that.
3) any glaring errors ?
I intend to pick it up next week, so I won't be able to test it
immediately. I do want my laptop to be ready to go when I bring the
tuner box home.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with script calling OOCalc on amd64
ok. I didn't realize that oocalc actually executed in your first attempt. Out of ideas then. FWIW - a few guesses: I'd execute oocalc under strace, and try to find what is killing oocalc (does it decide to exit, or is it sent some signal). If your suspecting xterm to be the culprit (i.e., yr script works-as-expected w/o the xterm wrap) then maybe it'll be worthwhile looking into the X resources yr xterm is reading.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: FreeNX password vs. ssh-key
u can use nxclient w/VNC protocol. The server shall then invoke a local vnc server, log into it with a local nx client, and let you log into the local client. That way you get nx's performance over a VNC connection (sort-of). Amit I'm just wandering if it is possible to connect to existing user session not generating a new session.

Some ideas: Set up an ssh session to the offending machine from a different machine that is permanently on. Wait for the problem to occur and see if anything got printed on the ssh console. Set up a syslogger on a remote machine and send all your logs to it. If that produces nothing, try having the local syslogger replicate ~/.xsession-errors to the remote logger. I often find that remote logging manages to keep working after the local disk has given up.

This all happened because you didn't read this:

ewarn setting USE=make-symlinks and emerging to / is very

ewarn If you are creating a binary only and not merging this
is probably ok.
ewarn set env VERY_BRAVE_OR_VERY_DUMB=yes if this is realy
what you want.
die silly options will destroy your system
fi
/bin/find is not associated with any packages because it's created in
postinst()
And now you have a huge problem because (at least last time I tried) busybox
does not implement tar -o; to test, try and emerge something. If it fails,
this is the only way it will ever work:
boot off alternate media and chroot into your usual /. If you are lucky, you
will have a tar binpkg as a backup which you can unpack into / on the chroot;
if not then you have to get one from somewhere - some kind soul will likely
send you one of you specify your arch and cpu type
Then remove busybox. You don't need it as you have GNU. Busybox is useful for
embedded and rescue systems and not much use on desktops, hence the warnings

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] interrupting runscripts during startup
My interest is foremost trivial. Not necessarily related to the application of such interrupts. Nevertheless, with regards to the post: * runscripts can (and AFAIK do) trap and handle SIGINT. * the interactive mode is ok for interrupting the init process between scripts. But I can't interrupt a script while it's running with 'I', and with SIGINT, I can.

It seems that up till runlevel 'default', services can be hit with the interrupt. Why do you want to stop services by hitting CTRL-C ? Services are shell scripts. Hitting CTRL-C stops the script somewhere in the middle during its execution. Everything that was done until that moment won't be automagically undone. There can be files left , and processes already started will still run. That's not clean. Better use the interactive init feature. Just hit 'I' when init starts (init even tells you, that you can do it) and choose which services to start by hitting 'y' and 'n'. Cheers, Renat
[gentoo-user] [OT] interrupting runscripts during startup
Hi all. When hitting Ctrl-C during startup, I manage to interrupt services at the early stages of init, yet later-on I can no-longer do this. It seems that up till runlevel 'default', services can be hit with the interrupt. I'm wondering where is this behavior being set, and whether I can enable the interruption by SIGINT in 'default' level runscripts (e.g. 'local.start'). I'm suspecting this is somewhere in /sbin/init, but can't ascertain this. Anyone knows? thanks, Amit

Also note, if you migrate away from the boot console and then come back, it may not scrollback at all. If I want to see what boot is doing I scroll back immediately before running startx or moving to another console. Maxim (or anyone else): do you know what causes scrollback to be disabled once you move to a different terminal? Amit
[gentoo-user] mounting /var prior to invocation of /sbin/rc
Hi. I've a setup where /var resides on a separate partition than root. After boot, I see that /var is created on root and some files are written to it. E.G, the following folders are created: /var/lib/init.d/snapshot /var/lib/init.d/options /var/lib/init.d/daemons /var/lib/init.d/started /var/lib/init.d/starting /var/lib/init.d/inactive /var/lib/init.d/wasinactive /var/lib/init.d/stopping /var/lib/init.d/exclusive /var/lib/init.d/exitcodes /var/lib/init.d/scheduled /var/lib/init.d/coldplugged /var/lib/init.d/softscripts I'm suspecting that /sbin/rc is writing to /var prior to the mounting of the respective partition. Am I correct? Is there some commonly-used place in gentoo for specifying partitions that have to be mounted prior to writing a/m files? 10x, Amit

[gentoo-user] configuring SVN repo w/apache w/o breaking dev-util/subversion
Hi. Would appreciate someone's view on the following: I want to configure SVN access via apache. This requires some modifications to /etc/apache2/modules.d/47_mod_dav_svn.conf (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/svn-book.html#svn-ch-6-sect-4.2) Since the file is owned by dev-util/subversion, I prefer not to modify it. Is there an alternative mechanism to modifying a package-owned file? 10x, Amit
Re: [gentoo-user] configuring SVN repo w/apache w/o breaking dev-util/subversion
Still it would incur an etc-update event, wouldn't it? Then, an absent-minded user (e.g. myself) could overwrite configuration when subversion gets upgraded. I was thinking of maybe creating an /etc/apache2/modules.d/471_mod_dav_svn.conf, which I could then freely modify.
