I forgot to add that my system was already almost identical to yours, so I 
don't know whether to say yes or no.   :)

Er... outgoing mail doens't go through postfix at all; it goes direct from my 
KMail client to my ISP.

No such setting in my main.cf so I assume it's empty.

Anyway, I looked at some of those mails that postfix was trying to forward, and 
they were old and unimportant, so I purged them.

Let's see what other problems I've made for myself...  :)

If your mailserver (postfix) is sending emails to your ISP, that is (from the 
viewpoint of postfix) relaying by definition.

If you have only 1 domain, keep that "virtual_alias_domains" empty.

No relaying here; all outgoing mail goes to my ISP.

I've been using postfix for longer than I can remember.
The config entries I changed from default are:

--- main.cf ---
myhostname = 
mydomain = 
myorigin = 
mynetworks = 
smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, 
reject_unauth_destination
---

Also, are all emails sent to "mydomain" or do you have additional domains 
configured?
If the latter, did you set "virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/
virtual_domains"
Include all virtual domains the file and converted the file to a .db ?

No, $myhostname is .lan

Like you I've had some trouble in the past, so a lot of this is from
trying and failing, but it works as I want it now, so I'm happy-ish.

I think those entries must be for sendmail.

Yes, I have root: prh, but postfix still tries to forward mail for 
root@ to  instead of hanging on to it.

I hadn't thought of doing that. When I tried it, postfix complained "Names must 
be local" and wouldn't accept my root@ entries.

I'll try setting mynetworks and see what happens.

I'm not sure I quite understood where you're having problems, but I
have a machine that accepts mail from the LAN through postfix, so I'll
show some of my setup. Replace any <> with your hostnames.

On the LAN machine I don't have postfix, I only send mail directly to
the machine with 'sendmail', but I found that I have in
/etc/mail/mailertable:
192.168. smtp:
 esmtp:
And in /etc/mail/local-host-names I have set  -
maybe that does something, but I send mail directly with sendmail
either way.

On the postfix machine I have in /etc/postfix/aliases:
root:   arve
This should make all mail to root be delivered to me. It also contains
a bunch of aliases that I'm not sure if is necessary:
arve@ arve
arve@.lan arve
arve@.localdomain arve
arve@.lan  arve

In /etc/postfix/main.cf there is this, and I assume at least some of
this makes this all work:
myhostname = .lan
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, 
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8

Hello list,

For years, I've been using postfix to accept mail from LAN hosts, and from the 
Internet via my ISP. This has never worked as I want it - it's just so complex 
to set up and understand. Well, it is for a bear of little brain like me.

Can someone tell me how to make postfix accept all mail addressed to any host 
or user on the LAN - and not forward any mail to anywhere at all? It's running 
on a single-homed host on the LAN, and all other hosts are also single homed. 
Any of four hosts can originate mail, and I have fetchmail running on the same 
host to collect POP3 mail from my ISP. Dovecot serves IMAP4 to KMail clients 
on the LAN.

At present, postfix is insisting on forwarding mail addressed to root on a LAN 
machine, but it's supposed to be acting on behalf of that machine. Two other 
hosts' mails never show up anywhere.

Or perhaps there's a more suitable MTA out there?

Many thanks, indeed!  That was the cause of my problem, and re-emerging
lvm2 with that USE flag set solved it completely.

> See

Yes.  There was even a news item about it back in November.  I've read
it again, and it seems too vague to me.  For example, it says:

>>> If you use LVM2 for any partitions, or if you use tools like
>>> 'lvchange', you should enable USE=lvm.

, without saying in detail anywhere what it means to "use" LVM2.  I
wasn't aware of "using" LVM2 when I read that news item, so I just
carried on, blithely unaware of the coming catastrophe.  ;-)

Still, it's OK, now.

Thanks for that, too.  I actually created a small script with commands
like these when I was installing Gentoo ~5 years ago, and I adapted
that, saving the heavy labour of working out again that the flag in
mount that I need is -o bind.  :-)

Been there, done that myself.

Mount your filesystems from the rescue boot and chroot into them.

Re-emerge lvm2 with the "lvm" flag enabled.

See

[gentoo-user] Help!!! My system won't boot. (?lvm?) :-(

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hello, Gentoo.

My system isn't booting.  In particular, most of the SSD partitions
won't mount, because they are not under /dev any more.  The root
partition, /dev/md125 mounts, but that is all.

These partitions are lvm partitions under RAID-1 (software RAID).  They
simply fail to appear in /dev/mapper on boot up.  (I don't remember the
exact error message, here).

I've managed to bring my system up using a Rescue-DVD followed by
chroot.  This shows that the partions on the SSD are basically
undamaged.

I strongly suspect that my emerge update from last night is to blame.
There, lvm2-2.03.17-r1 was reinstalled after other packages
(dependencies) were updated.  The order of these packages, taken from
/var/log/emerge.log was:

1. dev-libs/mpfr-4.1.1_p1
2. dev-lang/mujs-1.3.2
3. sys-apps/util-linux-2.38.1
4. sys-apps/systemd-utils-251.10
5. dev-python/installer-0.6.0
6. app-text/lib-paper-2.0.4
7. app-misc/ca-certificates-20211016.3.86
8. sys-fs/lvm2-2.03.17-r1

..  There were a few more packages after that, a total of 23.  If any of
these is relevant, then it is surely 3. or 4.  lvm2 itself was merely
rebuilt.

I've had a quick scan of the gentoo bugzilla, but not found anything
relevant there.

Please help me get my system booting again!

Thanks!

I was right the first time: it was something I'd done - a typo in /boot/loader/
entries/. (My eyes just get worse all the time. That's my excuse and 
I'm sticking to it.)

Now, though, the system gets as far as populating /dev and hangs. So, back to 
SysRescCD and check that devfs is selected, and it is. I'll go through the 
kernel config yet again and see what I may have missed.

I tried to google that message and it found nothing.  That's not good. 
Makes me wonder what is causing that.  Made me think a bit. 

Have you double checked your fstab?  Maybe you missed updating a line,
missed commenting something out or a typo maybe?  Any strange kernel
options added to your bootloader?  Typo maybe?  Have you double checked
that the file systems you use for /boot and / are built into the kernel? 

Hopefully someone else will have more ideas but in the meantime, may
want to double check those.  Just to be sure. 

Hope that helps, or someone else has ideas.

I'm installing Gentoo on a new Juno laptop, and I've reached the point of

If it's a one-time thing, you can set the EXTRA_ECONF environment

bug building enchant-2.2.8 , compile fails because it doesn't recognize the
ObjC "@" syntax.  There is a bug filed :
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718634
that has a suggested fix that looks appropriate:

./configure --without-applespell --without-aspell --enable-relocatable

(Not sure about the --without-aspell bit, and I think this bug may have 
some relation to

using GNUstep bits)

How do I override the ./configure options for emerge  [-r] ?

[gentoo-user] help with boot msgs and ext[2-4] question

[n952162]

Hello,

I see this msg in /var/log/dmesg:

[    4.444826] EXT2-fs (sdb3): error: couldn't mount because of
unsupported optional features (2c0)
[    4.468074] EXT4-fs (sdb3): mounted filesystem with ordered data
mode. Opts: (null)

but my system boots.  Is the (2c0) the clue to what features are meant?

Next question:

From this article:

/https://opensource.com/article/18/4/ext4-filesystem/

I get a good description of *journal*, *ordered* and *writeback*
journaling levels and I wonder if my root filesystem should have
*ordered* mode.   I recently had a total crash of my ext3/4 root and
home filesystems, where the directories were lost and I had to paste
everything back together again by guess and by golly.  In decades of
linux usage, that's never happened to me on that scale.  I'd hoped for
more from journaling filesystems.

Did it happen only because gentoo gave me *ordered* data mode by
default  and I should have had *journal*?

No dialling in. I have a vDSL modem-router which handles all the PPPoE stuff 
and shows me an Ethernet interface to connect my LAN to.

Addressing is sorted out now, as I said in later messages, but thanks anyway.

Dear Peter,

Adding ipv6 address is not the deal.

Question(s):

How do you connect to the internet ?

Do you connect through pppoe (point-to-point-over-ethernet) or over ppoa 
(point-to-point-over-atm) ?


Does your modem handle the dialin for you automatically?

In this case there are 2 other choices (NAT Router) or bridged mode.

Tell us a bit more about your topologie, and how you enter the internet.

Hello list,

Having been inspired by the recent discussion of IPv6, I decided to try it,
starting with my ISP, my Billion Bipac vDSL modem-router and one host - this
one. Of course it isn't straightforward.

Zen has allocated me a /64 ND prefix and a /48 PD prefix. I found a way to
tell the Bipac to set up IPv6, and rebooted it; it now tells me its LAN
address is 2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba/64. Nslookup on this host says
the same, without the /64. But then this:

$ ping6 vdsl
ping: vdsl: No address associated with hostname
$ ping6 2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba
PING 2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba(2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:

64 bytes from 2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64
time=1.75 ms
^C

If I add the LAN address of the Bipac to /etc/hosts, ping finds it okay, but
what if the address changes if the Bipac reboots? I thought this kind of
address fixing was unnecessary in IPv6.

And am I supposed to fix the IPv6 addresses of the other hosts on the LAN, or
just stick to IPv4 for local comms? And I haven't yet even thought about the
wireless devices served by the Bipac, though I see my mobile phone has
acquired an IPv6 address starting with fe80::40be... and it doesn't look like
its MAC address.

I can't apply a ULA to my router, but it's given me a /128 address which I can

I haven't looked into SLAAC yet, but meanwhile I've sorted out addresses for 
my LAN hosts using the delegation prefix and an arbitrary host number 1 to 6.

Ping6 and nslookup both work, both locally and to remote hosts.

Nice. In that case, you can of course use your router's global scope

ULA support, or rather the ability to assign additional static IPv6
addresses to an interface, depends on the router's firmware. If you can
make it work, https://cd34.com/rfc4193/ can help you generate a ULA
prefix.

ULA allows for fixed addresses, while SLAAC-based addresses expire and
can contain random components, and that's why static name-to-address

I can't see any fd67... Addresses here. The only IPv6 details my router shows 
are the LAN and WAN addresses, and 'ip -6 route show' on this host, although 
it lists six addresses bound to eth0, doesn't mention fd67.

Do I need to fix a ULA (on each host?), and how would I choose and apply it? 
My router seems to be a bit basic in the IPv6 department.

That's what you consider "the easiest option"? ;-)

I usually ask the following of people starting with IPv6: Do you really
need fixed names for all nodes, or is this more of a reflex?

In my experience, home networks can usually run with only a few fixed
addresses (or rather name-to-address mappings). An old printer might
need a fixed address. A multimedia server will broadcast its services
and often does not need a fixed address. Neither do various smart-
phones. The router might need one, if it has a web UI. Something like
this might be enough:

  # /etc/hosts
  fd67:1:2:3::1 router.local  router
  fd67:1:2:3::2 printer.local printer

fd67:1:2:3::/64 is a random ULA prefix, pretty much an equivalent of
10.0.0.0/8 but much larger. Just assign a fixed ULA address to nodes
that *really* need it and share /etc/hosts across your nodes.

That, to me, is an easier option than setting up DHCPv6 and a DNS
server, both of which need to support dynamic DNS updates. Depending on
your environment, "ping6 somename.local" might work without any manual
configuration at all, as I mentioned in my previous message.

* Peter Humphrey:

The outcome of ping depends on /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts, and even
on the OS of the IPv6 nodes involved. Apple devices will be available as
somename.local, with "somename" being what the user configured as the
device's name in Preferences->Sharing. I can for example ping my iPhone
via "ping6 silver.local".

> If I add the LAN address of the Bipac to /etc/hosts, ping finds it
> okay, but what if the address changes if the Bipac reboots?

Your Bipac will have multiple "LAN addresses", or rather addresses that
are bound to the LAN-facing network interface. In your example, you were
pinging the global scope address 2a02:x which may change over time,
unless your provider assigns static networks (mine does not). However,
the router should also have at least one link-local address and one
unique local address (ULA):

  Global scope: 2a02:8010:x (may change or may not)
  Link local: fe80:y (may change with SLAAC privacy extensions)
  ULA: fd67:z (should be fixed)

With my router, the ULA was set up once when I first picked a random ULA
prefix, and has remained immutable since then.

> I see my mobile phone has acquired an IPv6 address starting with

That's not actually a bad thing. I mentioned SLAAC privacy extensions
(RFC 4941) before; [1] offers some explanations.

It really depends how you're setting up IPv6 on your local network.
The easiest option is if you're using stateful DHCPv6. In this case you
just need to set up your dhcp server to notify your dns server of any
new leases. If you're using static IPv6 addresses you can create a
static mapping between hostnames and addresses either in /etc/hosts or
your dns server. If you're using SLAAC, however, the only option I can
think of is to use stateless DHCPv6 to notify the DHCP server of your
client fqdn which should then sync the record with the DNS server.

In trying to emerge chromium I received an error msg saying that

I added
  >=net-libs/nodejs-8.12.0 inspector
to
 /etc/portage/package.use  chromium

  The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:

  The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:

(dependency required by "www-client/chromium-72.0.3626.96::gentoo" [ebuild])

This seems more serious than a simple request to add the icu USE flag to

It is also worth mentioning that ebuilds cannot be added to the tree
with "stable" flags, at least not by unprivileged contributors such as
myself.

If, for example, there is an upstream bugfix release, I will copy my
existing ebuild because neither build process nor dependencies have
changed one bit, but I am required to change keywords to unstable
anyway.

Switching to stable would require a second pull request after at least a
month has passed, and many contributors just don't bother with that.

That's because ~ doesn't mean unstable, it means testing. Stable in this
context means less likely to change, not less likely to fall over. Plus
the differentiation is for the ebuilds, not the software itself. You can
have a rock solid program still in the testing tree.

It looks like you need to unmask virtual/cargo because you need to have
virtual/cargo 1.30.1. These version numbers have to match. Are you
running a mixed keyworded system?

Once you unmask, you can install what you need for Firefox/Thunderbird
beforehand:

emerge -1 virtual/cargo dev-lang/rust

Not presently.

I removed the following packages as part of troubleshooting.

I then (re)installed dev-lang/rust per Andrew U.'s recommendation.

Sorry posted too soon. After you install it, it should be satisfied by

The correct way is to run `eselect rust set 1`. There are other symlinks

So, will someone help me fix this cargo / rust blockage so that I can

Thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately, the hints on the page you linked didn't work. The firmware on 
that page is already included in linux-firmware (unless I'm missing something, 
of course). I tried compiling it in the kernel, but with no result. I believe 
the problem is something other than missing firmware, because I see no messages 
about failures to load firmware in dmes. 

I just noticed there are some audio-related messages in dmesg which I hadn't 
noticed before:

[drm] HDaudio controller not detected, using LPE audio instead
cht-bsw-rt5645: ASoC: CODEC DAI snd-soc-dummy-dai not registered
cht-bsw-rt5645: snd_soc_register_card failed -517

I don't know whether they're significant or they're spurious messages caused by 
my including every possible sound card drivers in the kernel.

I fear you're right about this Transformer not being linux friendly: I just 
found out that it doesn't recognize the power button, either. 

I think right now I need a break from this machine: I've alread spent about 
three days working on it and I have other things to do. I'll try to rebuild a 
kernel from scratch in a few days; in the meanwhile I'll use it as it is.

Thanks again

Stefano

Hmm, after googling it seems some of those Transformer models are not 
linux friendly. There are reports of no driver for the SD card reader 
and models earlier than yours needed firmware to use the sound card.


You might be able to use hints from:

to get the sound working, even though the model is older than yours.

Hello to everyone,
I'm trying to install Gentoo on an Asus Transformer T101HA and there are some

The most troublesome issues, right now, are the sound card and the SD card 
reader. Both of them simply don't seem to exist: they didn't work with the

^ this is the key: autofs needs rpc support in glibc, which is going away with 
glibc-2.26. 

Sadly portage is extremely unhelpful here, since - if you look at the autofs 
ebuild - the problem goes away as soon as you switch its "libtirpc" useflag 
on:
libtirpc? ( net-libs/libtirpc )
!libtirpc? ( sys-libs/glibc[rpc(-)] )
(glibc-2.26 has no rpc useflag, and the (-) means it's treated as if it were 
switched off then.)

Indeed libtirpc is the modern replacement for the obsolete rpc support in 
glibc.

Anyway, I hope with the following commit this is now fixed:

Why is it trying to install the  version? Is that unmasked?

Are you running stable or testing?

What does "grep -r glibc /etc/portage" say?

I don't think you posted the command that started all of this?

Re: [gentoo-user] Help...can't decipher emerge oracle...

[Jan Chren (rindeal)]

Well, that's yet another problem, this time it's `autofs` package
which depends on glibc having `rpc` USE flag. glibc 2.26 lost this
USE-flag, however. Hopefully you can workaround this by enabling
`libtirpc` USE-flag for `autofs` package.

So the steps should be now:

1. put `net-fs/autofs libtirpc` into your `/etc/portage/package.use/...`
2. `emerge -1 autofs`
3. `emerge -1 ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.26"`
4. `emerge -1 libnsl`

Removing autofs certainly can't hurt.

Maybe try upgrading glibc and libnsl together.

Oh, I missed that the current libnsl has a blocker as well. In that
case try to do this:

```
emerge -C libnsl
emerge -1 ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.26"
emerge -1 libnsl

Hi Jan,

[Jan Chren (rindeal)]

net-libs/libnsl-1.1.0-r1 is blocking sys-libs/glibc versions lower
than 2.26 and you have sys-libs/glibc-2.25 installed. So try
installing glibc-2.26 manually first and then libnsl.

Re: [gentoo-user] help securing system / remote unlock

[Simon Perfer]

Thank you Neil. I had not seen that link.


I've had quite an uphill battle getting Dracut to work properly with a rather 
strange networking situation I have on a variety of servers.


I believe the "out of the box experience" I had was not leveraging dracut, 
though I could be wrong.


Does gentoolkit not support dracut?


My search skills must be failing me...is this really that uncommon of a use 
case? Can't seem to find much information around this topic.

Adding features to dracut seems quite simple according to Rich's blog
post.

[gentoo-user] help securing system / remote unlock

[Simon Perfer]

Hi – I've successfully set up whole disk encryption by using LUKS and ZFS on 
top of it. I can boot by unlocking the drive via some remote console.


Can't seem to find a tool that will generate an initramfs with support for ZFS, 
LUKS and Dropbear so that I can remotely unlock the system.


Ubuntu makes it very easy to enable Dropbear in their initramfs. I could have 
sworn I've done before via some popular / existing initramfs tool on Gentoo but 
can't seem to remember which one (or if it's even possible).


Short of building my own custom initramfs or hacking dracut, bliss-initramfs, 
etc., are there any pre-baked solutions I can rely on?


Thanks!

Grant,

With shorewall it is quite easy. Ensure you have the blacklist enabled.

I'm not at that machine right now so I can't check what I have in

You might need icu in USE globally.

Have you tried building with 'icu' use-flag for libxml2, the gstreamer
stuff and qtwebkit? Try e.g.

USE="icu" emerge --pretend net-im/skype

I tried your list.  It needed a few more.  When I added them, a slot
conflict again.  If this is easy to explain and fix, please let me know;
but this is not a do or die effort.

thanks for everyone's help.

A container would work just as well, and uses WAY less RAM (and disk

the same resource cost as just running it normally.

Re: [gentoo-user] Help installing skype

A finite subset of this package.use file will let skype install,
followed of course by
emerge skype.

I arrived at this list the long hard way, repeatedly running emerge and
adding stuffs still portage stopped it's whinging. The worst part is Qt
and X11 as skype is a Qt app and no longer bundles a local copy of Qt.

I agree with Ralf, a small VM with Windows or an Ubuntu/Mint/whatever
appliance solely for use with skype is probably a better use of your
time. It's a huge PITA to keep abi_x86_32 under control and not bloat,
whereas a VM only needs disk space (cheap as dirt) and apt-get once a
fortnight or so.

Anyway, here's a package.use that works on a Plasma 5 system:

I am trying to convince the dept and/or systems group to ship me one of
their "loaner laptops" that has skype installed.

But I "promised" to try to install it on my main laptop (gentoo).
On a backup laptop I went to the skype website and picked up the generic
linux binary.  However it complained that I don't have the libraries it
needs, presumably because it wants /usr/lib32 and I have /usr/lib64.

Re: [gentoo-user] Help installing skype

[Ralf]

Hi,

I hate those tons of abi_x86_32 packages as well.

This is also not solving your slot conflict, but why not:
  - Use a Windows VM for Skype
  - Use a small Linux VM for Skype (e.g. Debian)
and just redirect your webcam.

In this way, you don't mess up your system with 32 bit libraries. And,
of course, you don't know what skype is internally doing as it is
proprietary software and not famous for no bugs/vulnerabilities.

Re: [gentoo-user] Help installing skype

[Anton Shumskyi]

Hi=)
Can't really help with 32bit conflicts, I gave up on it since other
unofficial packages got broken.
But you can try workaround with disabled abi_x86_32, put skype ebuild to
your local overlay and remove all abi_x86_32 related in it. And it still
can fail=)
Or you can give a try to web.skype.com

I already

Now I have a slot conflict.  Below the abbreviated output is the full

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

Re: [gentoo-user] Help with obscure syntax in gsignal.h?

[Alex Thorne]

In this context I believe it's a bit shift operator. So 1  0 is 1 and 1
 1 is 2.

As for the  operator in C++...

The operator appears in C++ as the bitshift operator too. However, C++
supports operator overloading. This means that for custom data types (I.e.
classes), one can define how certain operators (including arithmetic and
logical operators) behave. This is done in a similar way to defining member
functions of a class. For example, one could overload the multiplication
operator * for a class 'Matrix' to implement correct matrix multiplication.

One operator overload which pervades the C++ standard library is the
'stream insertion operator'. For input and output streams such as the
standard output cout, the bitshift operators (,) have been redefined to
allow you to pass data to/from the stream.

This is arguably an abuse of notation and in general such confusing use of
operator overloading would be discouraged. However, in this case it is
perhaps justified since it provides a very convenient and intuitive way of
passing large numbers of objects of varying types to a stream such as cout.

Hope this helps clear things up.

Bit shift. gtk+ is written in C, so '' is always bit shifting. Enums 
are basically constants, and they're hardcoding the values so they can 
be OR'd together.

Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure how you must resolve this conflict.  Based on the
fact that there are no stable versions of dev-libs/libgudev left, I *think* you
just need to add the gudev USE flag to sys-fs/udev (which is unset by default),
which should then satisfy virtual/libgudev and thus resolve the conflict.

I've been getting these, too.  It isn't that complicated: some packages require
the currently installed version, whereas others can (again, *can*) pull in the
newer version.  In my case, I followed the recommendation in the error message
(which you failed to paste, or did you really not get it?) and passed
--backtrack=30 to emerge, after which portage managed to handle the conflict
gracefully by simply not trying to upgrade dev-haskell/text.

[gentoo-user] Help to set up privoxy

[Henrique Lengler]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup privoxy on my gentoo. All I did is:

$ sudo emerge privoxy
$ /etc/init.d/privoxy start
* Starting privoxy ...
$ vimprobable2 http_proxy=”http://127.0.0.1:8118″

And anything is working. I opened the privoxy config page and it says to
me that privoxy is not running and as i don't know more anything about
it i don't know what do

Can you help?

[gentoo-user] Help needed with ebuilds for pear.horde.org

[J. Roeleveld]

Hi All,

I am trying to create an ebuild for Egroupware 14.1. (released this month)

To find out the dependencies, I am going through the setup check and am stuck 
with the following:
**
Checking PEAR pear.horde.org/Horde_Imap_Client (2.16.0) is installed: False
PEAR::Horde_Imap_Client is needed by: EMailAdmin. You can install it by 
running: pear channel-discover pear.horde.org ; pear install 
pear.horde.org/Horde_Imap_Client
**

If I run those commands, it works, however, I prefer to use ebuilds for the 
dependencies.
I tried to create some based on existing ebuilds from the kolab overlay (they 
also use the pear.horde.org channel), but even though the install seems to 
work, it still isn't found.

I also tried to adjust an existing PEAR ebuild to:
**
# Copyright 1999-2011 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: $

inherit php-pear-r1

LICENSE=LGPL-3
SLOT=0
KEYWORDS=amd64
PHP_PEAR_CHANNEL=pear.horde.org
SRC_URI=http://pear.horde.org/get/${PEAR_PN}.tgz;
DEPEND=dev-php/PEAR-Horde_Channel
**

But I am unable to properly change the PEAR-channel.

I am certain I am missing something simple, but my google-fu is coming short.

If anyone is able to point me in the right direction, I would be very 
grateful.

[gentoo-user] Help! - I cannot emerge anything any more

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I am in a very strange situation where I cannot emerge anything any  
more.
Since it occurs on two different machines it won't be a hardware  
problem.


When I try to emerge a package, say portage, it builds it just fine and
starts to install it (for portage, the last file shown is  
etc/etc-update.conf)
but then it hangs forever - no CPU / no IO. It looks as if it has  
locked itself out.

This is even with a single package emerge.
The only interesting things which are shown by lsof  are


emerge  1747 root  mem   REG   0,16  46678298  
/usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.cache (path dev=0,18)

emerge  1747 root   12w  REG   0,30   28295491945  
/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/portage-/temp/build.log



Yes, I've tried to remove anything from /var/tmp/portage and the  
problem persists after reboot.


Has anybody seen something similar and where to search for the problem?

Many thanks,
Helmut

[gentoo-user] Help to upgrade perl?

[Michael Higgins]

Hey, all --

I have two systems, one of which got perl 5.16.1, somehow. My other
system is still at perl 5.12... and I'm having a heck of a time trying
to upgrade that system to 5.16.1.

Is there some trick that I should recall? 

This is what I tried:

 USE=-build emerge -v =dev-lang/perl-5.16.1

And this is what I got:

  (dev-lang/perl-5.12.4-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
~dev-lang/perl-5.12.4 required by
  (virtual/perl-i18n-langtags-0.35::gentoo, installed)

  (dev-lang/perl-5.16.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in
  by =dev-lang/perl-5.16.1
=dev-lang/perl-5.16 required by
  (dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.840.0::gentoo, installed)
  =dev-lang/perl-5.16* required by
  (virtual/perl-digest-base-1.170.0-r1::gentoo, installed) (and 144
  more with the same problems)

144 more with the same problem? There must be some incantation that
handles all that, no?

Thanks for any pointers, foax!

Cheers,

emerge -avuND world

Why 5.16.1? that is the lowest version that is ~arch; your next sync and
update is going to want to upgrade it anyway.

Lots of things have been moving around in perl land, modules moving into
core etc etc. A proper world update takes care of all the necessary
blockers.

Or, seeing as you are going to remerge everything perl related anyway,
you might as well just undelete everything perl-related (keeping an
accurate list), and then merge the whole lot back

Ah, well, I'm not running ~arch anywhere and so not sure why my public

machine to match.

Yes. Perl surely is a PITA for the distro to maintain.

This kind of on-the-side bookkeeping is exactly what I'm trying to
avoid. But I do get your point. ;-)

Looks like I'm good to go, as perl is updating and perl-cleaner --all
after the fact should be fine, I'm guessing. And if not, I know what
I'm in for, mostly.

Thanks!

Re: [gentoo-user] Help running fsck on reiserfs lvm /var on production server?

[Alan McKinnon]

On 08/06/2013 23:37, Tanstaafl wrote:
 Hi everyone,
 
 What is best practice for doing this?
 
 If I reboot in single user mode, will my lvm volumes (ie, /var) be
 available for fsck'ing, or do I have to mount them first?
 
 The current problem started after a different problem required me to do
 a hard reset on the server - had to do with a mounted QNAP device being
 unavailable when I initiated a reboot, and everything just hung.
 
 Ever since I did this hard reset, the server hangs at unmounting /var.
 I've let it sit there for at least an hour, and it never goes past that.
 
 Then after I hard reset it, it fsck's /var partition again, maybe fixes
 minor problems very quickly, and everything works fine until I have to
 reboot or shutdown again.
 
 This became a major problem this weekend when we had one extended power
 outage (about 8 hours) yesterday evening, then another one (about 4
 hours) this morning right after I got everything back up and running
 from last nights outage.
 
 Anyway, I need to do this this weened if at all possible, so...
 
 Anyone have any pointers to detailed docs and or willing to hold my hand
 through this a little?


fsck'ing that filesystem should be no different from any other fsck - it
should find what it finds and fix what it can. The fs must be unmounted
of course which means you have to do it in single-user mode, or from
booting a rescue system (I prefer the second, I find it easier as none
of the production filesystems are required to be mounted).

fsck.resiserfs has several modes, IIRC there's --rebuild-tree or similar
that does an extensive checks but takes ages. I needed to do this 2 or 3
times when I was still using reiser. There's also an option to do not
writes if you want a sanity check first.

I'm not convinced a power outage broke the fs so that you now can't
umount it, I'm having a hard time imaging how that would happen. More
likely some other script file elsewhere is damaged and leaves files open
when the system wants to umount /var.

You have some options:

This requires considerable downtime, easily an hour or more. You can dd
/var somewhere to get a copy you can experiment on with another host. At
least you will then know how much downtime to schedule.

You should do a full check and repair on all filesystems to be 100% certain.

For the umount issues, that is trickier as you won't have log files in
/var after the fact. Any clues on the Alt-F12 console whilst shutting
down? Try configure your syslogger to send logs to another host, you
might be lucky enough to get some logs that way that describe what is
going on.

Hmmm

Admittedly, I don't reboot this system often, so maybe I'm 
misremembering when the problem crept in.


Could it be the NFS mount that it is hanging on, and unmounting/var is 
just that last thing showing on the screen?


I think I'll try manually unmounting that before rebooting the next time 
I need to(need to update the kernel soon anyway)...


I do know the last few times this has happened, the NFS mount was 
'unavailable' (the device had powered down without first unmounting it 
from the server)...


I hope that is all it is...

Ugh, NFS complicates things :-)

I have a similar thing with my notebook and NFS mounts at home, I often
forget to umount the NFS dirs, causing issues when I then go to work and
wake the machine up

If you have NFS in the mix, I'd certainly investigate that first before
getting into more complex things. Also check that your NFS and mount
stuff in /etc/init.d are doing the right thing in the right order with
both startup and shutdown
