I hesitated to file a bug, because my desktop is running mdev instead
of udev (just fine thank, you), and it might not be supported. I've
removed module-init-tools. I have virtual/modutils-0 and

That circular dep is interesting; sys-apps/kmod only depends on virtual/modutils because it inherits linux-mod.eclass. Could you file about about the circular dependency please?

I recognized another issue possibly caused by inheriting linux-mod.eclass: kmod is pulling in virtual/linux-sources as a dependency, which actually is not necessary at all (and maybe even annoying, it's at least some hundred megabytes).

[gentoo-user] portage insists in pulling in sys-apps/kmod
Hello, Some of my servers are running with a kernel without module-support. On these servers something has started to pull in sys-apps/kmod, which when compiled complains about missing modules-support in the kernel (as it should). Doing an "equery d sys-apps/kmod" I can see that the following two packages depends on sy-apps/kmod: sys-fs/udev-197-r8 (kmod ? >=sys-apps/kmod-12) virtual/modutils-0 (sys-apps/kmod[tools]) sys-fs/udev has "-kmod" in its USE-flags, so that should not be an issue). # emerge --verbose --pretend sys-fs/udev [ebuild R] sys-fs/udev-197-r8 USE="acl openrc -doc -gudev -hwdb -introspection -keymap -kmod (-selinux) -static-libs" 0 kB With virtual/modutils its an other thing, here we have a circular dependency between virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod if the tools USE-flag is set. So trying to resolve this a unmreged virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod and tried the following: # USE="-tools" emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use --with-bdeps y world --pretend --tree These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

USE="-kmod" I am having exactly the same issue, server with module-less kernel, USE=-kmod set, but portage still wants to pull in virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod (and I have nothing "depending" on either of those two). At the moment I am looking into mdev instead of udev for these servers.

It's pointless having it if the kernel does not use modules. Therefore, the error check exists. Furthermore, $ equery depends kmod * These packages depend on kmod: sys-fs/udev-200 (kmod ? >=sys-apps/kmod-12) virtual/modutils-0 (sys-apps/kmod[tools]) $ equery depends virtual/modutils * These packages depend on virtual/modutils: app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-4.2.10 (kernel_linux ?virtual/modutils) app-emulation/vmware-modules-271.2 (kernel_linux ? virtual/modutils) sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus-1.56 (virtual/modutils) $ equery depends rescan-scsi-bus * These packages depend on rescan-scsi-bus: sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.35 (>=sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus-1.24) $ equery depends sg3_utils * These packages depend on sg3_utils: media-libs/libgpod-0.8.2 (sys-apps/sg3_utils) sys-apps/rescan-scsi-bus-1.56 (>=sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.24) sys-fs/udisks-1.0.4-r5 (>=sys-apps/sg3_utils-1.27.20090411) It's hard to escape those hard masks.

After searching a bit I found that this was added due to bug #477856, but reading this as well as the release notes for kmod I am still not sure if this is needed in any case or just if there is a modular kernel etc. I am cc'ing one of the kmod maintainers maybe he can explain what is meant exactly. @Samuli: You have added the elog message to kmod-14-r1.

kmod, if built with the tools USE flag (which is enabled by default),
works as a drop-in replacement for module-init-tool. To the users of
OpenRC (AFAIK), there is really no difference between the two of them,
except perhaps that kmod is actively developed and several distros are
moving to it, so it will probably (me thinks) be the one the kernel
will explicitly support in the future.
For systemd users kmod makes the boot time even faster, since kmod is
a library and it allows to do module related operations from C,
instead of calling (and therefore forking) modprobe or other programs.
Outside of that, as I said, I don't think there is any significant
difference between kmod and module-init-tools; as the README from kmod
says:
"The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes
from module-init-tools project."
Hope it helps.
Regards.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think so. The git repository has not a single instance of the strings "modprobe" or "insmod", apparently the only way to load modules in udev is to use kmod. I think the kmod configure option (which is the one the USE flag activate/deactivate), is for systems where all the modules are built-in, like embedded ones.

[gentoo-user] udev-181 and kmod vs module-init-tools
udev-181 merge is blocked because :
[blocks B ] sys-apps/module-init-tools
("sys-apps/module-init-tools" is blocking sys-apps/kmod-7)
[blocks B ] sys-apps/kmod ("sys-apps/kmod" is blocking
sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.
(sys-apps/kmod-7::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
>=sys-apps/kmod-5 required by (sys-fs/udev-181::gentoo, ebuild
scheduled for merge)
(sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
>=sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.2 required by
(virtual/modutils-0::gentoo, installed)
Googling, it looks like kmod is the replacement for module-init-tools,
so it should just work, unless of course any packages explicitly
depend on module-init-tools instead of the virtual...
However, module-init-tools is part of system profile and I get the
scary red text and 10-second countdown when I try to unmerge, so I
chickened out and did a ctrl-c. :)
Have any of you already changed from module-init-tools to kmod?
Anything to be afraid of? It's a remote machine and I can boot rescue
CD if it breaks, but I'd rather not have to do that.

But, since you're only updating one package but not the other you still get the same error. What version of zfs do you WANT to use? Are you already running on the v2 release candidate? (Probably not what most people should be doing...) If so you need to figure out if your pools are even compatible with v0.8.5 (I'm not sure offhand if new features were added, and if they were it would probably depend on whether you upgraded your pools). If you are on the v2rc and want to stick with it, then undo whatever masking you did and just update both packages together: emerge -1au zfs-kmod zfs Really though that should already happen if you did an emerge -u @world assuming both are in your world. If you want to run v0.8.5 then I would mask both zfs-kmod and zfs >=0.9 and then run the same command. If you're on 0.8.4 though you might seriously consider just accepting only stable keywords on zfs though - it is a filesystem and maybe not something you want to be cutting edge. And you definitely don't want to go uninstalling zfs-kmod as now the module will be gone and once again you'll get a surprise when you reboot. In the future though I'd probably avoid installing release candidates if you are running one. That is, unless it is your goal to beta-test filesystems. -- Rich

adev-197 has a kmod useflag, on by default (at least in my profile).
Disabling it lets you keep module-init-tools. I noticed because I am
one of those risk-takers who has USE -* , and now I'm wondering what
the benefits of kmod would be for me (and/or disadvantages).
If this has already been discussed here, my apologies. I try to pay
attention, but, well, you know what all udev threads are like. ;)

No, modprobe -l is not supported, but it's trivially to emulate, and the option was already deprecated in module-init-tools. From the kmod README: "kmod-modprobe gained several features to be a 1:1 replacement for modprobe. The only missing things are the options '--showconfig' and '-t / -l'. These last ones have been deprecated long ago and they will be removed from modprobe. A lot of effort has been put on kmod-modprobe to ensure it maintains compabitility with modprobe."

try:
emerge -Cv sys-apps/module-init-tools
emerge -1v sys-apps/kmod
and then try to update world again. kmod is a drop-in replacement for
module-init-tools, and it's what is used by new versions of udev. You
probably will need to keyword kmod.

Because your use case is not standard. The normal situation for users with kmod installed (and you have already kmod installed, since in your --pretend run appears as to be reinstalled) is for them to use kernel modules. The developers cannot handle every possible combination of configurations, so defaults are set for the least weird cases, or the common case even. But what are kernel-sources good for after kernel has been compiled? They take some disk-space (~700MB in my case!), so I think it is quite logical to compile kernel, install & test it, and after that get rid of kernel-sources. And I still do not know what does kmod need from kernel-sources. Some part of kernel source-code? Strange is, up to now kmod was satisfied even without kernel-sources... I know some other packages look for kernel-sources, but issue only warning if can not found any (i.e. udev). But why does kmod need kernel-sources so badly it pulls them as dependency?

No, because that adds kmod to world. Just unmerge module-init-tools and
then emerge world, letting portage install what it needs.

Hi,
it worked flawless for me. Nothing "bad" happened.
If it's a server you could also build a monolithic Kernel and remove
the dependency completly since most servers don't need loadable
modules. It even adds a little security-wise...

[gentoo-user] problems with installing zfs-kmod under new kernel
Hi. I am having problems installing zfs-kmod on my new kernel 5.4.69. Originally I got this: !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: sys-fs/zfs-kmod:0 (sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc3:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" ABI_X86="(64)" pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) (sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" ABI_X86="(64)" pulled in by ~sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc1 required by (sys-fs/zfs-2.0.0_rc1-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="nls pam rootfs (split-usr) -custom-cflags -debug (-kernel-builtin) -libressl -minimal -python (-static-libs) -test-suite" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_7 -python3_6 -python3_8" ^^ It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. Then I masked off the -rc3 version thinking that would help and I got this: !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: sys-fs/zfs-kmod:0 (sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.8.5:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" ABI_X86="(64)" pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) (sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" ABI_X86="(64)" pulled in by ~sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc1 required by (sys-fs/zfs-2.0.0_rc1-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="nls pam rootfs (split-usr) -custom-cflags -debug (-kernel-builtin) -libressl -minimal -python (-static-libs) -test-suite" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_7 -python3_6 -python3_8" ^^ It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. So, how do I fix -- I was thinking of uninstalling zfs-kmod, but was afraid it would delete from my running kernel (4.19.144) or some other fcatastrophe, so I thought I'd ask here first. I am on the zfs-discuss list and a few months ago they were talking about a necessary patch to install in 5.4 kernels because of not exporting some symhbols as well. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com

Same here.
The actual Xorg error was "can't find module Nvidia",
so another question is whether it has to be listed somewhere for Kmod ?
Thanks so far. It looks as if the change needs a 'news' msg.

[gentoo-user] Failure of zfs-kmod with 3.13.* kernel
When trying to build zfs-kmod against a a 3.13.[0|1|2] kernel, spl works fine, but zfs fails. It looks like the issue is that the configure script isn't doing quite the right check for bdi_setup_and_register, so HAVE_BDI_SETUP_AND_REGISTER doesn't get defined, and then there's a mismatch in the definitions between zfs and the kernel source. The offending bit in the configure log looks to be: configure:17996: checking whether bdi_setup_and_register() is available configure:18024: cp conftest.c build && make modules -C /usr/src/linux EXTRA_CFLAGS=-Werror M=/var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.6.2-r3/work/zfs-zfs-0.6.2/build /var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.6.2-r3/work/zfs-zfs-0.6.2/build/conftest.c: In function 'main': /var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.6.2-r3/work/zfs-zfs-0.6.2/build/conftest.c:91:25: error: ignoring return value of 'bdi_setup_and_register', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] bdi_setup_and_register(NULL, NULL, 0); ^ Anyone else seeing this?

If you emerge kmod with the "tools" USE flag, then it is a drop-in replacement of module-init-tools (minus a couple of deprecated command line flags). In other words, yes, is fully supported by older releases of udev. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

[gentoo-user] I guess it is time to update udev from 171-r10 to 197-r8...
Ok, I sync'd this morning, and now see the warning about udev 171-r10
being masked, so I guess it is time..
I know this was discussed quite a bit a few months ago, but just to
refresh my memory...
My question is, if I am currently running 171-r10 on my server, and I
have a separate lvm managed /usr partition, is it now safe to comment
out my udev masks and update udev, with a reasonable expectation that
doing so won't break my boot ability?
Also, should I manually fix the blockers:
[blocks B ] sys-apps/module-init-tools ("sys-apps/module-init-tools" is
blocking sys-apps/kmod-12-r1)
[blocks B ] sys-apps/kmod ("sys-apps/kmod" is blocking
sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r2)
by doing "emerge -C module-init-tools && emerge kmod" *before* upgrading
udev? Or does it matter?
Thanks...

[gentoo-user] ZFS wiki confusion
Anyone got ZFS working on their Gentoo install? I'm contemplating it, but the wiki[1] confuses me a bit. Specifically, section '3 Installing into the kernel directory (for static installs)' states: This will generate the needed files, and copy them into the kernel sources directory. root # (cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/spl-/work/spl- && ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux) root # (cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/zfs-kmod-/work/zfs-kmod-/ && ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux) After this, you just need to edit the kernel config to enable CONFIG_SPL and CONFIG_ZFS and emerge the zfs binaries. root # mkdir -p /etc/portage/profile root # echo 'sys-fs/zfs -kernel-builtin' >> /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask root # echo 'sys-fs/zfs kernel-builtin' >> /etc/portage/package.use root # emerge -1v sys-fs/zfs The echo's only need to be run once, but the emerge needs to be run every time you install a new version of zfs. Do you really need to copy the files into the kernel tree? WTD is a 'static install' in this context? 'emerge zfs' shows: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] sys-fs/zfs-0.6.1 USE="rootfs -custom-cflags (-kernel-builtin) -static-libs -test-suite" 1,500 kB [ebuild N ] sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.6.1 USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" 0 kB [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/spl-0.6.1 USE="-custom-cflags -debug -debug-log" 209 kB which seems to pull in the daemon and the kmod so wouldn't the zfs-kmod ebuild build against the current kernel and drop in the modules directory all by itself much like any of the 100s of FUSE modules do? Any clarification on the install process would be appreciated.

[gentoo-user] kmod requires modules in kernel??
Ok, I am prepping for the udev update this weekend, getting everything updated that doesn't pull in the udev updates. First thing I did was to eliminate the module-init-tools<>kmod Blocker: emerge -C module-init-tools %% emerge kmod and noted the following warnings/errors: Checking for suitable kernel configuration options... ERROR: setup CONFIG_MODULES:is not set when it should be. CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD: is not set when it should be. This is a server, and I do not WANT loadable modules enabled... So, how do I get rid of this warning/error? Or is this nothing to be concerned about if I do not want/need loadable modules? Thanks

You read it wrong. The USE flag is not being applied it's being removed
(the minus "-"), and the reason it is being removed is that it doesn't
exist for the new ebuild. That's what the parenthesis means.

I'll modify it as suggested. There is talk on the gentoo-dev list that mod-utils will be replaced by virtual/mod-utils which will default to kmod (required to build udev-181). Note that mod-utils and kmod are mutually exclusive. That should be taken care of in the ebuilds, but I'll monitor the situation.

ISTR you start with USE="-*". When you built kmod, was it with the tools flag enabled? The virtual requires it, so probably you did, but I thought it was worth asking. I went with kmod because of what the masking comment for module-init-tools said, and I haven't noticed any trouble. I've got nvidia-drivers-310.32. I know, WFM doesn't help much.

Anyone who does not build the kernel on the local machine, e.g. taking stock kernels from Debian/Fedora/..., kernel provided by netboot/openvz/Xen domUs or build them remotely will almost never need linux-sources installed. BTW this will also add full kernel sources to all stage3 archives, increasing their size quite significantly. Regards, Felix

My reading is: there are some packages either in your tree or being
pulled in that require a later version of udev. So even if you mask
udev-197, it's still being pulled in by something else. You have to
uninstall / mask those package versions as well. How they got there
or what they are, I don't know. If you're unlucky that might just be
because the portage tree was in the middle of syncing...
As for 186, emerge is hilariously tripping all over itself here.
sys-fs/udev is being upgraded, but it requires udev-init-scripts to
be installed. And udev-init-scripts conflicts with older versions of
udev which is installed, so...
Try increasing the backtrack to see if emerge can resolve it
automatically. --backtrack=30. If it can't, the canon advice would
be to manually uninstall (emerge -C --deselect=n) the older version
before installing the newer one.

LOL, I feel like I might have overcomplicated that. ;-)
I'm not sure if it will keep as many symbols as `-ggdb3`, but you probably don't
need that many anyway. Remember to enable the `splitdebug` and `installsources`
FEATURES on both packages. Following the Gentoo guide [1]:
/etc/portage/ $ cat env/debugsyms env/installsources
CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -ggdb"
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -ggdb"
FEATURES="${FEATURES} splitdebug compressdebug nostrip"
FEATURES="${FEATURES} installsources"
/etc/portage/ $ cat package.env/sys-apps/kpci
sys-apps/kmod debugsyms installsources
sys-apps/pciutils debugsyms installsources
$ emerge -atv1 kmod pciutils
I'm not sure what you mean by "my default flags contain -gdb". Are these your
CFLAGS (in which case I think you mean `-ggdb`), or is it some USE-flag or
FEATURE of which I'm unaware?
Anyway, then you should be able to break at the same function as before, using
the globally installed version of `lspci`:
$ gdb lspci
Reading symbols from lspci...
(gdb) b index_mm_open
Function "index_mm_open" not defined.

[gentoo-user] trouble downgrading systemd and virtual/udev
I want to downgrade systemd from 207-r2 to 204 (highest stable).
I currently have virtual/udev-206-r2 installed, which prevents
systemd-204.
OK. So I need to downgrade virtual/udev to 200.
I thought
emerge -1 =virtual/udev-200 =sys-apps/systemd-204
would do it. But this failed (see below) and suggested masking
might help.
So I added package.mask/systemd, which contains
>=virtual/udev-201
>=sys-apps/systemd-205
and then issued the same emerge as above.
But this also failed (see below).
What incantation do I need?
thanks,
allan

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

Clarification: kmod is used specifically with the `-k` switch of lspci:
$ ash-euses -o pciutils:kmod
sys-apps/pciutils:kmod - Enable sys-apps/kmod support for the -k switch
in lspci command
This causes the LIBKMOD variable to be passed to the Makefile [1, 2]:
pemake() {
emake \
[...]
LIBKMOD=$(multilib_native_usex kmod) \
[...]
"$@"
}
Anyway, with regards to your problem: if you're just installing your system now,
then you're probably getting this error because `/lib/modules` doesn't exist
inside your chroot. This path is hardcoded into pciutils [3]; this has been
modified by some vendors of the package, but not Gentoo [4]. You needn't worry
unless you're still getting this error outside of your chroot, once you've
completed the installation. Just focus on building a kernel for now.

Daniel, thanks for your help in this matter. i have linux-2.6.31-gentoo and kvm-88-r1 installed. i removed kvm-kmod-88-r1 and tried the in kernel modules but it was to no avail. when attempting to modprobe kvm-intel i get an "unknown symbol" error. i also tried it with everything compiled in the kernel but that didn't work either. no /dev/kvm is created so kvm is automatically disabled. i filed a bug with kvm's maintainer on the sourceforge tracker but don't hold out a lot of hope as there are a lot of open bugs on it. i also contacted intel support and escalated the posting today so i will have to wait and see. and last but not least i posted on forums.gentoo.org in "other things gentoo" but have yet to receive any replies. if you have any further ideas i would be glad to hear them. once again thanks for you help in this matter. best regards, James Erickson _ Bing™ brings you maps, menus, and reviews organized in one place.

Yeah, and you can install the kernel that your cousin Billy compiled for you.

I always get this error, but the flag indicating which driver is being
used still works, so I have not paid too much attention to this one.
I do have a running system with /lib/modules and the error still
occurrs.

Yes, it's enough to simply emerge the packages, and "modprobe zfs" (and later add "zfs" to /etc/conf.d/modules). Works fine here. (Not sure what FUSE has to do with it, though.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel module signature now shown on modinfo
Thanks for the link. It seems that the sign-file utility from the kernel (scripts/sign-file) has been converted to a .c file and somehow it produces a different output. I think if you really want to make sure the module is signed is by doing a hexdump and perhaps strip the signature out and try to load it.

The only exception is when rebuilding my kernel modules. I have to build spl first, then zfs-kmod. But that's because zfs-kmod requires a complete built spl.

Canek,
Thank you for your help. I
1. added "-static -static-libs" to /etc/make.conf USE.
2. emerge --newuse --deep world (rebuilt only glib)
3. emerge -pv thunar (also with the use flag enabled although thunar
seems to not use that USE flag?).
I got farther this time, but it seems that emerge is still asking a lot of me.
Eventhough I think it's odd (and a sign that I screwed up somewhere),
I can satisfy the USE flag requests and the ~amd64 requests.
I do not know how to solve the slot conflicts.
Thanks again for your help,
Chris
PS: This is a new install without anything fancy AFAIK. I synced
portage about 10 hours ago.

I guessed you meant to say polkit so:

sys-auth/polkit-0.113-r -gtk

I have a nice hefty list of nearly all non-x stuff ...
One item puzzles me a bit:
[ebuild N ] x11-misc/shared-mime-info-1.7::gentoo USE="{-test}" 0 KiB
Using Dales suggestion of --tree I see a whole list of stuff pulling
that in. The closest culprit seems to be:
dev-libs/glib-2.50.2:[...] USE+"mime [...]"
But maybe `shared-mime-info' is something one might use reading mail
or such?
I guess the `nomerge' part means its already installed?
Its a bit confusing seeing what is actually doing the pulling:
Is it `virtual/ssh-0'

It even adds a little security-wise... Thanks... I tried it, but didn't reboot yet. I was going to upgrade kernel at the same time, it tells me this during "make install" phase: DEPMOD 3.2.11-gentoo Warning: you may need to install module-init-tools See http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt But looking in the scripts seems the test is not valid for kmod: if !

And of course while I was compiling, the new kernel 3.3 has showed up in portage, with this problem fixed. :) Now I'm rebooting, watching ping replied, fingers crossed... it's alive! Success. :) Thanks, Paul

Look at the output from qlist, portage only lists the last installed module, older ones aren't removed when you reinstall on a kernel upgrade.
