[gentoo-user] NFS issues.

2009-07-01 Thread Andrew MacKenzie
NFS drives me nuts...

I'm mounting a number of NFSv3 directories using the following mount
options:
async,soft,timeo=10,intr,noatime,rsize=8196,wsize=8196

When I shutdown a client Gentoo seems to shutdown the network before and
without unmounting the NFS filesystems.  Later Gentoo tries to unmount
remote filesystems.

This causes NFS to try what seems like forever to reconnect with the
remote file server.

Two questions:
How do I fix the shutdown sequence to unmount NFS drives before the network
is shutdown?

How do I tell NFS to simply give-up after X attempts (for other times when
the NFS server simply may not be there anymore and I *just want the
friggin' computer to shudown*)?

[gentoo-user] Sound issue - can't use /dev/dsp

2008-10-30 Thread Andrew MacKenzie
My MythTV Gentoo box has recently started having issues recording sound.
The TV tuner re-plays audio through the mic interface on my soundcard.
It has worked for months, but now MythTV can't read anything from /dev/dsp.

Any device that uses ALSA directly seems to work fine (like TVTime which
plays TV with audio just fine) - only those that rely on /dev/dsp seem to
have trouble.  My simple test shows this:

# cat /dev/dsp  /dev/null
cat: /dev/dsp: Input/output error

This was run as root.  Perms are fine:

crw-rw 1 root audio 14, 3 2008-10-03 08:56 /dev/dsp

Myth user is in audio group (always has been).  

Has something changed in ALSA that I didn't catch?  I don't see anything in
my logs or dmesg that shows a problem.  My /etc/asound.conf is as follows:
pcm.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm nforce
}
pcm.nforce {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm hw:0,0
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
#rate 44100
rate 48000
}
}
ctl.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}


I have tried without this asound.conf and see the same issue.

 It is not quite that simple.  There were many posts today (28 oct) on

 them).
 
 To repeat the main point:  Read *carefully* today's discussion.
Yeah, I'll second this.  At the very least make sure you emerge -f
anything you unmerge.  To make it easy to re-merge if you break wget.

I had one system that specified USE=kerberos and krb5 kept wanting to
pull back in com_err (I think).  Also removing com_err seemed to break wget
(and curl) on that system so I had to manually fetch some packages.

 Hi,
 
 the mainboard on my main workbox needs a replacement (currently still an

 a 64bit kernel on all the 32bit binaries works fine. What gives me a bit

 Thought a: create a directory /64 install everything there and then switch
 lib, bin /usr 
 
 Thought b: create tbz2 of all the packages and then in one run replace 
 the 32 packages using emerge but i might run into library problems.
 
 Anybody has a good and efficient idea, how to do this?
I did this way back.  I think there was some good instructions somewhere
but I can't seem to find them.

IIRC it involved doing something like an install.  You boot from a CD,
install the stage tbz.  Set your profile properly, and then do emerge -ev
system; emerge -ev world.

I'm building a MythTV box and I have two TV tuners I'd like to use.  One is
a AVerMedia TVPhone (video0 - this card works fine) the other is an ATI

poppa-serve ~ # grep bttv /etc/modules.conf
alias char-major-81 bttv

Linux does seem to be picking up the wrong tuner for this card (dmesg shows
bttv1: using tuner=19).

  Hi,
 
I was thinking on making regular backup of my gentoo partition. I'm not
  interested in incremental backups, just a mirror image of the root
  filesystem. I've prepared some scripts using dd for the first copy and
  rsync to keep it updated. How do you make your backups?
  Any improvements?.
I've used bacula in the past to do backups.  It's very full featured but
also rather complicated for simple backups.

These days I use an rsync-based backup script I wrote called 'yarbs' (yet
another rsync backup system).

It uses rsync and hard links to keep X days of backups.  Easy to use, easy
to recover from, easy to setup.  I can make it available if anyone's
interested.

If you're using 'dd' does that mean you're copying the entire filesystem
and not just the files?  I believe that can run you into some issues if the
FS isn't read-only...

 What kind of issues? The idea is to copy the whole filesystem to another disk 
 and keep it sync. And in case of crisis use dd from the backup to the 
 original disk. 
There is the possibility that something changes on disk and you've already
copied the 'references' to it in the journal or index.  Thus making your
image inconsistent or corrupted.  You also have files cached in memory not
yet written to disk, etc.  It's also very inefficient copying all the empty
parts of your file system as well.

At the least you'll want to mount your file system read-only if you're
going to use dd to make a copy.

[gentoo-user] PII Hangs while booting.

2008-03-15 Thread Andrew MacKenzie

I've got an old PII Intergraph TD-225 PC that I'm trying to install Gentoo
onto.  Bios is AMIBIOS.  The system supports dual CPU but only has one.

It currently has WinXP running on it fine.  But every Linux install/boot CD
I've run (Gentoo, CentOS, Knoppix, etc.) hangs while booting (2.4 and 2.6
kernels).

The last thing I see from the CentOS boot process is the following:

Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.
SMP alternatives: switching to UP code
Freeing SMP alternatives: 14k freed
CPU0: Intel Pentium II (Klamath) stepping 03


Then it just hangs.  CD can pop out and everything.  Can anyone give me any
idea what's going wrong?

 Typically, adding the boot parameter noapic (not noapci!) is the first
 thing one should try.

Good suggestions.  I tried a few different parameters and it seems nosmp
gets it booting.  I think Linux is getting a little confused with the
'missing' CPU?  Either way it seems to work now.

Re: [gentoo-user] libssl.so.0.9.7 undefined symbol.

2007-01-30 Thread Andrew MacKenzie
 I suspect that you're being bitten by some lib problems with the update 
 or openssl from 0.9.7 to 0.9.8. IIRC you need to revdep-rebuild around 
 libssl and libcrypto to fix everything. This thread has most of the 
 details if this is your problem.
 
 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-499331.html
Ahh, I think i found my problem.  I did follow that before (mostly) with
the revdep-rebuilds and all.

BUT, I didn't remove the 0.9.7 versions of the libraries in
/emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/.  Removing those and things work now.

Thanks!

[gentoo-user] libssl.so.0.9.7 undefined symbol.

2007-01-29 Thread Andrew MacKenzie
Ever since I installed the latest version of
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat I get the following error when running
x86 apps under amd64:

symbol lookup error: /emul/linux/x86/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7: undefined

I've not been able to find this on the web or anywhere.  

Anybody have any ideas?

[gentoo-user] Modular X undefined symbols.

2006-07-17 Thread Andrew MacKenzie
My last email didn't seem to make it to the list, I hope this isn't a
duplicate.

I've converted 4 machines to modular X, and one is having an issue.   
My laptop (Thinkpad T43) is getting the following error when I start X:

dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so: undefined symbol 
vgaHWGetIndex  

If I run X -configure it complains about XAACreateInfoRec when loading
i810_drv.so, and vgaHWGetIndex when loading vga_drv.so.  It also
complains about VBEExtendedInit when loading the VESA driver.

I've followed the conversion how-to.  I've set the dri USE flag.  My
VIDEO_CARDS flag is set to i810 vesa.

I've been unable to find any solution...  Does anyone have any idea what
the problem is?

 GUI primarily, but a console for scripting.
 I agree.
An ncurses interface would be nice, rather than a 'command line' version.

We already have 'scriptable' tools.

 mask/unmask would be nice, but it's not absolutely necessary
 install/remove is necessary ;-)
 emerge command generator might be useful in a scripting application
 
 Everything you can think about, however I'd find most useful:
 - mask/unmask
 - install/remove
 - list of all installed packages
 - use flags for each package + description of what an use flag is doing
 - dependencies for each package
Nice list.  I'll add to this.

- List of files in the package
- Size on disk of installed packages
- Installed packages that depend on this package

[gentoo-user] coLinux compiling glibc.

2005-11-15 Thread Andrew MacKenzie
I've been running Gentoo on coLinux 0.6.2 for some time, and for the most
part it works great!  However, I've had an issue where at some point in
compiling glibc the system hangs and is unresponsive (requiring a
hard-reboot).

Is anyone else out there running on coLinux and experiencing this problem?
Anyone know what's causing this and how I can get glibc to compile okay
(I've been compiling glibc on another machine but that's a pain)?

I've tried with/without distcc, as well as with/without ccache.

Re: [gentoo-user] Nasty bugs in portage?

2005-09-13 Thread Andrew MacKenzie
  what have you been smoking Neil? A stage 3 install just means you have
  a biggish tarball at the start and it installs a very basic working
  system ready to comile on. You still do your own kernel and you can
  EITHER use GRP packages OR compile them yourself. 
 I know, but the quote you removed was about using stage 3 to save time
 to have a running system asap. If that's your objective, you're hardly
 going to follow it up by compiling KDE and X from scratch, are you?
I always have...

stage 3 gets me to a point where while I'm compiling X, KDE, qt, Gnome, and
the rest of the world, I can use my computer.  Especially since the first
things I emerge are those I'm likely to use (mutt, irc client, etc.).

 If lm_sensors the package compiles against the kernel, as I would

I don't mean to thread-hijack, but...

I was just thinking that it would be really nice if after I run genkernel
I got a list of packages that need to be recompiled against the new kernel

I inevitably forget which packages need to be re-emerged...

I do not believe so.  I had a similar issue to what you are seeing.  Oddly

help:

rmmod wcfxo
rmmod zaptel
sleep1
modprobe zaptel
modprobe wcfxo
sleep 1
ztcfg -vvv

asterisk -c

I know it seems no different from what you've been doing (same here), but
do them right in a row like that and I think you may get asterisk to start
working.


As an aside, for me the interface seems to stop listening after a certain
amount of time (a few minutes I think).  I can't seem to find anybody else
having this problem.  If you hit it too then it's likely a Gentoo specific
issue...

It's possible you didn't add the asterisk user to the correct groups?

I added asterisk to the audio and dialout groups.  dialout is
necessary to read /dev/zaptel/1.

Also, after running as root, make sure that all the asterisk files are
still readable/writable by asterisk.  Otherwise you'll have problems

Re: [gentoo-user] How to Install Bacula Client Using Portage?

2005-07-08 Thread Andrew MacKenzie
 I'm new to both Gentoo and Linux so I apologize if this is a stupid 
 question.  I've used bacula on FreeBSD and would like to put the bacula 
 client on a Gentoo box I have running MythTV.  Is there a way to build 
 the client only using portage?  Or do I have to build the whole thing 
 and then only start the client?  I've read the handbook on gentoo.org 
 but can not seem to figure this one out.
'emerge bacula' installs the whole thing.

What I did was to comment out the SD and DIR daemons in the
/etc/init.d/bacula startup script (they're all started separately).

It would be nice if there were at least a separate start-up script for the
file daemon...
