i have a another rootfs..when i make chroot to this fs..emerge works fine..

bugs.gentoo.org
Are you using tmpfs?

2.6.20 http://pastebin.com/942425

for the shm

2.6.17 http://pastebin.com/942426

Thanks.
You are running emerge as root?

yes i am
I dont find anything similar at the bug web page…
I 've tested to make "install -m0700 -d /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/slang-1.4.9-r2/work" manually as a portage user
and it works..but with emerge it doesnt

Can you pastebin all the relevant output from emerge?
Also, which portage version?

ok

alright, i'm using screen and this window is totaly frozen… it's not the control-a q thing either. How do I just kill it and make it go away?

http://pastebin.com/942428

i'm having a problem
with acpid

Thanks.

it says /proc/acpi/event: device or resource busy
when i try to restart it
and when i try to restart keytouch it does the same

I notice your timer frequency has changed from 250Hz to 180Hz. That might make a difference.

so KeyTouch won't work

Wait, does the machine drift when turned on or off?

No idea. All I can tell is that when on local network chronyd can sync and therefore clock seems OK but for some reason on reboot I get the "old" clock with the drift.
and that I expect much smaller drift if not using any chrony or the like.

hwclock show any difference compared to displayed time
?

which command?

hwclock ; date
Can I see the output of mount?

/dev/hda3 on / type reiserfs (rw,noatime)

3 IDT

proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
sorry

…

i forget
sorry
i forget about the flood

That's what pastebins are for.

sorry

do an /etc/init.d/clock restart and see if it says anything funny.

how do I fix my ACPID?

http://pastebin.com/942429

that's the wors't: * WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.
then: Setting system clock using the hardware clock [UTC] … [ ok ]
and: * Starting syslog-ng … [ ok ]

That's all fine.

Jep, I was joking. (pretty bad one).

My next suggestion is to figure out if it happens when the machine's running or not running.
eg. run for a few hours and make a log of hwclock ; time every so often.

file … ?

also with or WO chronyd?

file into the loop too.

Both.
So you say portage works when chrooted into that install?

can I reach you in say a day or two?

yes..i have chrooted fs, and when i make an emerge inside the chrooted system..it works

I just accidentaly deleted my portage.keywords… is there any way to force emerge to update world without complaining about dependancies that are masked?

argh

You mean when chrooted to a different install?

yes

emerge is very annoying… you have to run it over and over again, you can't even get a list of all the masked packages

i know it's different install..but..i have tried to compare both..to see..where the pb was

I think emerge should ask you if you want to add them to package.keywords

Next couple of days, then I'm away for a week.

rather than me having to echo them to package.keywords

/etc/portage/package.keywords

What filesystem is the other one on?

emerge ktorrent 2.2 rc1 fails with : translations/Makefile.am:1: required directory translations/nb does not exist works fine if i remove nb from the LINGUAS variable, so i suppose this is a bug?

it's inside the / , it's reiserfs

Just code up the feature and see if you can get it accepted

no, portage can't guess what you intend to do

What do you mean inside the / ?

actually, I tried to code it once, but I failed very quickly

you could try a eix -Ic and just add all the packages that he wants to downgrade

and I doubt it would be accepted anyway…

i mean it's not another partition mounted

easier than running emerge over and over again

yeah, that will help alot

If you can code, then I don't see why Gentoo would refuse contributions

Oh, okay. Same portage and coreutils versions?

I don't mean portage has to guess… it could be polite about it and _ask_ you if you want to emerge the masked package

Hey, can someone tell me what I need to add into src_compile() or whatever in a gcc ebuild to get normal behavior while also allowing me to alter configuration options?

no, it shouldn't

Look for where configure is run.

if you start trying different variations to see if keywording a specific version of a pacakge would fix your issues you'd either risk breaking things or have a massive slowdown

same portage version..not same profile

There's no configure field inside the gcc ebuilds, hence my question.

what is gentoo? just another distro or is diferent?

hrm.. both?

no, that's stupid. I just want certain packages unmasked. I've been using different variations of packages forever and I've rarely had problems

thermodynamics44, it's a linux distribution. It does differ from other distributions just as every other distribution does (if 2 are the exact same, why have 2?)

but what's diferent from Let's say Sabayon?

on my server I wouldn't want that

and really, all it has to do is ask if you want to unmask dependancies, since obviously you already want to emerge an unmasked package

and a correct resolution of such candidates is potentially unbounded in computation time

so, don't do it ;P

I'm out of ideas, then. It could be a filesysem issue. (Hint: make backups)

coreutils on "normal" system is 6.7-r1 and on the chrooted system is 6.7-r1 too

sabayon is a 3rd party stage4.. we don't support it here

Gentoo normally compiles packages from source and allows you to modify what prereqs some packages have based on your personal needs, rather than requiring everything, as most binary packagers do.

okay… wow. apparently 948 of my dependancies are masked. what the hell do I do now?

Woow that sound nice

Look if your make.profile is correct for your current install?

ouch

I'm going to have to write a script to parse the output of eix to put it in my keywords… IMO, gentoo has failed at this point

there is no way to rebuild the system?

add ~x86 to features since thats the only way you can have that big a mask. :p

Write a scpipt to put them in package.keywords?

and it's all because I accidentaly overwrote my keywords file…

no, you deliberately removed "critical" data … if anyone is to blame it is you
and of course you don't have a backup of that file …

because the output of eix isn't exactly what I need in packages.keywords

That's what the script's for.

My desktop system has 800 packages for a fairly big install, my java server hosting is some 400 packages

and gentoo makes you echo keywords all the time

There is. Start by backing up.

Are there any servers running in Gentoo by default, besides sshd?

antiNeo, I usually edit such files using nano or vim to avoid such a typo being a major problem
ci_omegadog, nothing runs by default

default" to make it run anything on bootup

can eix output in the package.keywords format?

rconan- ty

These UNTESTED instructions for recovering from a portage corruption might be of use: http://rafb.net/p/gAfJI728.html
I don't think so, unfortunately.

equery's output is more like the file format

not even ssh..

ok
lots of thanks
i'll try

Good luck.

I've plugged a usb device - how do I access it's files ? mount ?

Link–: Yes.

mind being a bit more specific ? what should I type ? there doesn't seem to be anything @ /mnt ?
I've never dealt with these kind of stuff ,when I was on win32 it automatically detected those kind of stuff for me

drac- the vps i have must change that, because i have sshd running after choosing gentoo for my vps

grep -R '~x86' /var/db/pkg/ | grep KEYWORDS= | grep -v ' x86' | cut -d/ -f5-6 | perl -pe 's/-\d.*//' may be helpful

anyone ?:/

Gentoo recoommended I update emerge. Then tells me i need to update my config files. "Tools such as dispatch-conf, cfg-update, and etc-update are also available to
aid in the merging of these files." which should i use?

Link–: First make a mountpoint (this only needs to be done once): mkdir /mnt/USB (or any name you want)

Link–, you need to know the name of the node in /dev for your usb drive

dispatch-conf

ty

http://pinaroland.miniville.fr/

how do I find it ?

Link–, probably /dev/sdXn

http://pinaroland.miniville.fr/
a href="http://pinaroland.miniville.fr/"http://pinaroland.miniville.fr//a

where X is a letter and n is a number

http://pinaroland.miniville.fr/

Link–: It'll come up in dmesg

http://pinaroland.miniville.fr/

Lots of info, what should I grep ?

just look at the last thing after you've plugged in the usb drive

http://rafb.net/p/pxpnI248.html

Link–: It'll come up at the end (dmesg | tail)

^^

: Attached scsi removable disk

Link–: /dev/sda in this case

Yes, but I don't see any name ?

Link–, that means its device nodes are /dev/sdaN

one more question

Yes?

do u think it could be related with this :
[blocks B ] sys-apps/pam-login (is blocking sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.1-r1)

Link–, so you want to do "mount /dev/sda1 /path/to/mountpoint"

rconan / farrioth: I see, so now - mount /dev/sda /mnt/USB ?
I seem to have only one sda

Link–: Yes.
No.

farrioth / rconan : Woo, it worked (: Thanks

ok

farrioth / rconan: Can I access /mnt/USB as a normal user too or root only ?

Link–, to eject it again you need to do "eject /dev/sda"

Why not umount ?

rconan, Link–: umount not eject

^^^

farrioth, eject works for me… I think either works in this case

I found a nice script that solves my unmasking problem http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Mass_Unmasking
the perl one works better…

It's a USB device

Link–: If you want to access it as a normal user, you can add a line to your fstab file.

Link–, if it's vfat formatted and you want to use it as a normal user you need to add -o umask=0000 to the mount command

Where can I read more about that specific line ?

wow- watching emerge do it things makes me glad i'm a tcl developer

eject is designed for removable media and calls umount. It's not a standard command.

How can I tell if it's vfat ?

Link–, it probably is

When I bott up gentoo x fails to start. What is wrong??!!?

Show the xorg.log ?

Link–: The file is /etc/fstab and the line is "/dev/sda /mnt/USB vfat nouato,users,rw 0 0" (no quotes).

Link–: Can't I'm not in gentoo

That's a bit problematic :/ Look at your xorg.log and see what's wrong and ask here?

Link–: Then you can just do mount /mnt/USB as a normal user.

Thanks.

I know nothing about x, i coulden't tell you. On the other 10000 distros I've used. It has actually worked.

hi there, I can set the time with the date app as root, but each time i restart my pc, the time is simply set back to the (incorrect) time… How can I set the date permanently?

Can I like chroot it?'

gentoo12, you can get IRC without X then ask for help from gentoo?

Link–: No problem. You can change the name of /mnt/USB if you want.

I'll stick with it (:

gentoo12, or just mount the partition and pastebin the log

farrioth / rconan: Thanks, one again.

Hey, who should I talk to about getting a USEFLAG added to the gcc toolchain/ebuilds?

rc-update add clock boot

Where is xorg.log?

bugs.gentoo.org

Link–: You're welcome.

gentoo12, /var/log/Xorg.*.log

farrioth, thanks
farrioth, it simply returns, clock already installed, skipping

Okay, good. Make sure CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes" in /etc/conf.d/clock

farrioth, ah, that was the problem, thanks

hi all
has anyone tried to use HAL with EVMS?

farrioth, so what is the difference between a usbstick (which you claim you use umount for) and my iPod (which I have to use eject for? Is it the fact the iPod has more than one partition?

HAL keeps trying to mount /dev/sdd1 instead of /dev/evms/sdd1
which will fail

Link–: http://pastebin.ca/604247

is there a config file for hal that I can edit the paths in ?

eject calls umount.

farrioth, but umount doesn't work for the ipod

Oh?

where can I find the HAL scripts? I'd like to edit them to tell HAL what to do when it automounts a fs of type ntfs…

Link–: You there???
Guess not…
Guys, my x just randomly decied to break. Here is my log http://pastebin.ca/604247 what is wrong?

gentoo12, it seems the gl library isn't loading

see the ntfs-3g wiki

You're not calling eject /dev/sda instead of eject /dev/sda1 are you?

friendly12345, its outdated

rconan:Okay, so how do I fix it.

in what way?

friendly12345, which is why im asking here

farrioth, I call eject /dev/ipod (equivalent to /dev/sdc)

friendly12345, the HAL scripts aren't where the wiki says they should be

Which then calls umount for /dev/sdc*

gentoo12, does /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so exist?
farrioth, in my case /dev/ipod* but yes

Did you upgrade to modular X without following the howto?

farrioth, but calling umount on each individually isn't equivalent

Didn't touch x.

What did you touch?

farrioth, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect." (although I'm aware it should be perfectly safe to with the filesystems unmounted)

what do you have in /usr/share/hal then?

I emerged beryl, following the howto.

has already been started". why does it return status 0? Even when the service died and is in fact not running?

I believe eject calls other things (including sync) too.

gentoo12, pastebin you xorg.conf ?

http://pastebin.ca/604247

you need to use eject for iPods

gentoo12, that's the log

oh
where is the conf thingy

friendly12345, I know I was just wondering what the difference was

and yes that moduels thing does exist

gentoo12, /etc/X11/xorg.conf

because it doesn't check the daemon itself, only /var/lib/init.d/

friendly12345, according to the guide i should have a scripts folder, but i dont… only device-manager and fdi

if you want to tell it that something died, /etc/init.d/whatever zap

http://pastebin.ca/604257

a gentoo livecd should be able to detect the hdd of a MacBook, right?

Why would you even consider installing secure linux web hosting on a mac book?

blue|palm, check out http://www.mythic-beasts.com/~mark/random/hal/ i don't know if will help though…

very odd, don't think that wiki host is out of date

you there?

why not?

0s 10 is far superior.

equery belongs hal-system-storage-mount yields no matches however

define "far superior"

gentoo12, just looking at the log and conf

do you have hal apps on your machine at all?
*any hal

friendly12345, I have hal installed and volman (xfce)

More stable, less hasle, you can install software with out watching it emerge for 9 years.

unknown filesystem: ntfs
friendly12345, i then have to manually mount

Macs really aren't macs, they are 0S 10. If you don't want OS 10 there is no logic in even using a Mac.

can you automount fat/fat32 devices eg. usb sticks?

friendly12345, yes
friendly12345, they work perfectly fine and integrate into xfce smoothly… which is volman doing its job…
friendly12345, it just doesn't know what to do for ntgs
friendly12345, it just doesn't know what to do for ntfs*

OSX is too restrictive to my taste (although I'll admit that I run debian on my ibook, not gentoo), but the bottom line is, it's never crashed on me (plenty of stable in other words), easy to manage with a centralized package management, plus I get under the hood if I want

gentoo12, which version of the "configuring x.org did you follow"?

suiside, isn't debian known for its stability though?

I never configured x.org

folks, topic please

this with ntfs3g right?

friendly12345, yes

I find it very odd you don't have anything in scripts

Whoops forgot to title it
I never configured x

and finding which package owns the file odd as well

friendly12345, I am using ntfs-3g within fstab to automount my internal windows drive without any hassles…. P.S. I don't have a scripts folder at all

I'm not
just seems the disk is dead….
wanna check with badblocks
but there is no device

why are you titling that to me?

so maybe it need sa special module….

oh

ntfs-3g is a fuse FS right? what's the type syntax for mounting a fuse-based fs?

well, as this is off topic here I'll just quickly try to sum it up by saying that for a binary distribution, the quality of the packages in the debian repositories is very good, they're quality management really works

So how do I fix this?

TFKyle, I actually just use 'ntfs-3g' in place of 'mount' and it works
TFKyle, syntax is the same

I just need to get into gentoo so I can burn a deiban live cd and lose this mess.

in fstab I mean

which package 'owns' the /scripts folder in /usr/share/hal ?
equery / qfile yields no results

don't have it here, but I'd imagine either hal(d) or root

TFKyle, same like all the others. my fstab e.g. /dev/sda1 /mnt/vista ntfs-3g users,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

nice fail, though

ah, ok

I'm trying to use a 32bit precompiled binary of Sqlite3.4 on a 64 version of gentoo (I would like to use this binary, because i am trying to make a common runtime for all users of an application server i'm developing). I get the error "undefined symbol: pthread_key_create". Any
suggestions?

probably installs a mount helper, /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g exists right?

I'm just frustrated in people that don't even want consider alternatives, why couldn't you run GNU/Linux on a mac? it's a very viable alternative in my opinion, not everyone likes OSX

I have a trouble that I do not know how to approach
I need to boot Geode based computer (266 Mhz, 128 MB RAM) from pcmcia flash card.
I followed the manual for USB installation media creation on gentoo site. The OS starts to boot. It gets into runlevel3,
enumerates all pci, isa etc devices, find monitor , then tries to scramble root password
and then I first get error that driver is busy and the a lot of en_request I/O error - a lot of them on different sectors in around 79000 and higher

hmm, there's a mount.fuse, so there's probably some syntax for starting "registered" fuse fs'es if that's how it works

I have a trouble that I do not know how to approach
I need to boot Geode based computer (266 Mhz, 128 MB RAM) from pcmcia flash card.

suiside, true, and you are not alone… there are plenty of Macs out there running a GNU/Linux flavour

How can I solve this?

sounds like you are trying to read beyond the end of the "disk"

TFKyle, correct, it does exist

What app can I use to burn a cd image in the gentoo live cd?

hmm, ok

and, we heard you the first time, pasting that much text is what got you kicked the first time, ya gotta be careful with that. (:

It is a minimal install image (55 MB) - flash I use is 1 GB

gentoo12, if you only want to burn a cd you could just download it with links and burn it from the commandline

what is peculiar is that you don't have the /scripts folder and hal-system-storage-mount file

friendly12345, hmm

pthread_key_create". Any suggestions?

I forgot about kicks…

I am just going to do it from the live cd I have a gig of ram. I just need an app to burn a cd image

so? the size of the image isn't at issue, what's at issue is the filesystem thinks it's bigger than it is.

do you have hal-info installed?

gentoo12, cdrecord?

friendly12345, yes

emerge cdrecord ?

gentoo12, might be cdrtools or something

you'll need to be chrooted, can't do that directly on the livecd

gentoo12, oh… cdrdao I think

I think that it tryes to write to flash for unknown reason (is it should be in ramfs?)

I believe cdrecord is in fact in cdrtools

i've had similar things happen with a usb disk drive. the detected settings in fdisk were slightly off, so when i made a partition to cover the whole disk, it was actually larger than the disk. mkfs doesn't know, it just writes the stuff, so when i tried to write to the disk, when it decided
it was time to write to the end of the disk, *boom*, error city, becuase it was trying to write to something that wasn't there.
let's see… it'll probalby wanna write status stuff for the init scripts, and the ssh keys and…
if it's not supposed to write tot he flash, you've got more work to do.

It is a CD image that in general "write protected"

hi
how do i mount a usb stick?
lsusb shows the device, but kde does not yet

Why hasn't anyone created a mainstream filesystem for Linux that supports transparent compression?

'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /path/to/mountpoint' usually, replace sda1 with the corresponding device node and vfat with filesystem if it has something else than fat16/fat32
how would you go about creating a "mainstream" filesystem?

storage prices are low in our days
it is cheaper that to develop such thing

random access to files w/ transparent compression is hard. How do you seek to a point in a file when the logical and physical points don't match?

Compression on the fly has been developed years ago
No one uses it

consequently, implementations of that tend to be buggy.

I mean, there are a few, like JFFS2 and Reiser4, but JFFS2 is specialized for flash devices (and so has horrible performance) and Reiser4 is (depending who you ask) still unstable.

that said, it *has* been implemented for ext2 (as an attribute that could be enabled), and as Miravlix says, nobody used it.

pthread_key_create" : i have libpthread-2.4.so & libpthread.so.0 in my /lib dir. Any suggestions?

what are you trying to emerge?

Baah, mplayer just hates me, it wont finish compiling, but bombs out without an error.

if you really need transparent compression, there's a FUSE filter that will implement it on top of whatever underlying filesystem you like.

I'm sure among Linux developers, someone can come up with the code for it. I'd think you'd compress chunks around 100k, and as they're accessed, uncompress them in RAM, and when they're closed (or not accessed for a while) recompress them and write to disk. I think the hardest corner case is
when you take a large, well-compressed file, and modify a chunk in the middle in a way that makes the compressed version l
Yeah, I guess. It'd just be nice.

SkunkyFone, i'm trying to use a precompiled .so for 32 bit linux on a 64bit Gentoo. I would like to use this binary, because i am trying to make a common runtime for all users of an application server i'm developing

i had that, a couple of days ago. then a new glibc came along (and some other stuff) and the next time I emerged world, it compiled fine.

I mean, look at /usr/doc. It's all bzip2'ed. What if the filesystem just did that for us?

Nothing on bugs.g.o on it either.

splitting into chunks is fine, but what happens when the length of a chunk changes?

The best part is it bombs out at random places

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about.

as for /usr/doc being bzip2'd, as I said, you can do that using FUSE if you really care to.

I couldn't get around this problem on Ubuntu, i was hoping i would have better luck with Gentoo

that soundsmore like a hardware problem.

true libgui.a … make[1]: Leaving directory and then the callstack die message

ldd the file?

Sure, it can't compile mplayer, but firefox, thunderbird, glibc is fine?

yeah, that's what I was getting.

ldd tclsqlite.so
warning: you do not have execution permission for `./tclsqlite.so'

(0xffffe000)

/lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7e87000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0×56555000)

the true whatever then dead

Yeah, I know… but I'm just yearning for a filesystem that does it automatically. NTFS, for example, can compress old files periodically. I think one of the harder things is to decide what to compress, because (for example) compressing files in /var/tmp/portage would be stupid.

Bloody unlikely there is anything wrong with this hardware.

thx

np

try reemerging hal, and hal-info. It could be that the /scripts file is not listed as being part of a package, as a package doesn't remove it on unemerge

sorry, i was asked about the ldd.

friendly12345, busy doing that

I'm not saying filesystem-based compression is an inherently bad idea; ZFS does it sanely.

does that give a clue?

if it's "random failures in different places" it's usually hardware. if it's what you just said "true blah" then it dies, see if there is anything else that wants to be updated (glibc, gcc, binutils?)

how do i get kde to automatically mount the stick?

just those 3 things, or did you get kicked bwefore anythingelse?

If they can do it, why can't someone else? (Besides, ZFS is insane. Cool, but insane.)

no, just those

hellooo gentoo poeple

Trust me it's more likely that you just won a billion $ than there is something wrong with this machine

dunno. if it was my system, i could probably figure it out eventually.

the reason ZFS can do it is that they have variable blocksizes. That's at least moderately insane right there.

all relevant search output point to something related to hal/tools as part of hal

I use hal and ivman, but as I don't use kde I can't give precise directions, I'd expect it has its own tool for automounting

ty anyway

ok thx

I have a Gentoo server a a host center. The past days the bandwidth has decreased. Is there any way to test the connection and see the download/upload capabilities?

ah darn, mzbot is still on vacation apparently =/

OT. What is insane about variable blocksize?
you can use ZFS right now with zfs-fuse in portage

my meaning is more that it's as insane as any other way ZFS breaks from convention. If ttuttle considers ZFS too insane to use for other reasons, why is variable blocksize exempt?

Sure, host a really big file and download it.

I can do a emerge -e world right now and finish it in a few hours, except for the emerge –resume –skipfirst when I move over mplayer

Variable blocksize is fine with me. It makes sense, as long as the FS devs don't screw it up.

I tried that from my workstation here through ftp, but that could be my connection here.

could this be what you want? http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_D-BUS_Session_Bus_with_KDM

try that, you might get lucky. like I said, mplayer refused to compile for me, but on the next world update, something got updated that madeit happy.

You could always use netcat and /dev/urandom, but you better have a fast CPU.

aren't there speed meter things still on dslreports.com?

I'm aware of the FUSE implementation, and I very much like moving filesystems to userspace (microkernels make sense, damnit!). Without knowing how complete it is, though, I'm hesitant to trust it.

I'd like more optimization and an endorsement from the kernel devs that FUSE is good enough for "regular" filesystems. The overhead is fine for things like FTP, but it probably kills performance on local disk filesystems, with all the context switches.

Or I can keep skipping mplayer until it works some day.

..and not without good reason. zfs-fuse lags behind Sun's release (informing them of a few bugs a long the way). But you should be noted that Sun's codebase is a rapidly moving target. ZFS is not a 'virtually unchanged' codebase by *any* means
*along

yup, that's the catch with Linux. Operating systems built from the ground-up to me lightweight microkernels (see FMI/OS for an example) perform quite a bit better.
s/me lightweight/be lightweight/

*it should be noted

is it safe to use lilo on a SCSI system ??

anyone experienced cpu and memory leaks in the latest stable build of firefox? (2.0.0.4)? almost everytime I try to visit a site X cpu and memory usage goes WAY up and so does firefox. I've tried to make a new profile but with the same result

for example Sun as proposed zlib compression as only one form of compression available (others may or may not be added in the future). Plus there are plans to add encryption and unrecoverable file deletion onto the filesystem

should be, but most people would still prefer grub

sure there's the zfs upgrade command, but just don't forget that there are lots of code changes going on

so grub is alway a bether choise ?

Ian Murdock is in .au promoting opensolaris.

I have roxiso installed on my main gentoo install. I chrooted it to the live cd but it wont let me luanch roxiso… and I need to burn an iso.

Doesn't really matter, not like I see the boot manager more than a few times a year. :p
and that on my desktop system, servers I never see it on.

i cannot start hald… what could cause this?

there are a few caveats: PaX may give a slight slowdown for non 64 bit processors with the ASLR option. 2nd the hardened profile uses an older version of gcc for the toolchain if I recall correctly

well, it's more modern overall, and usually prone to less problems, but lilo is still useful sometimes, I've seen machines that didn't boot with grub but did fine on lilo

no one knows?

lol ok i see. but ok, i'll try grub, want to be shure. Thanks mate !

Hi all

I did not know about the 32 bit caveat. thanks. I think that some apps need older gcc and hardened requires newer. Will check.

is there a way to invoke sudo so that it doesnt modify my timestamp

I tried Solaris 10, really didn't like it (although the zone/admin tools are supposedly excellent). Will try OpenSolaris if I can get a chance

like 'sudo somecommand' but then the next time i do 'sudo othercommand' I still get asked for a password but this time my session stays open

and look on the bright side of life dude, the summer has started! lots of fine weahter and beatifull girls !

with Sloaris you have to resolve dependencies manually during the install if you change the default packages that are installed. I mean, comeon….

How do I burn a cd image from the live cd?

How do I get the DISPLAY variable to be exported to sudo?

I have asked about using the hardened profile myself, but I quite like suspend2-sources, and I don't think they mix to well
*too

I will do some more research. I just hate gentoo bitching about it all the time.

hi there. on one of my servers i continuously get a message after doing a sync telling me to run fixpackages
i haven't seen this message on any of my other machines in a long time
i feel like i missed updating something on that particular box that is causing this

How do I burn a cd image from the live cd?

Hi, i want to install gentoo on a 2nd partition, with windows vista?, how can i install gentoo with a bootmenu to choose the OS which i want to boot?
is it possible?
install daemon tools, google for it and mount the iso file!

yes

yes, grub or lilo

libstdc++.so.5 - how can i get this installed on gentoo?

how, do i need to configre it on my own?
or should i use the windows bootloader?

Why mount the iso file? I just have to burn it to a cd-r

why, emerge it, of course

yesm but if you want o burn the CD with windows you can mount it, instead of download and install nero or something else

vista after gentoo will replace the bootloader with Microsoft's. Gentoo after Vista will replace the bootloader with grub/lilo IF you want to

xunling:I have no os on this machine…

so, what machine do you want to burn the cd?
ask a local drugstore for a PC magazin and install SUSE 9 or whatever ..

I am in the gentoo live cd, the only one I have. I have an iso downloaded. I need to burn it…

… and than install gentoo with network in work

using Microsoft's boot loader to load Gentoo on some of the more expensive Vista versions (with Bitlocker) may be painful

sry, i dont know

That doesn't answer my question. It is not that difficult to burn an iso image in the ubuntu live cd why can't I do it in the gentoo one?

because you don't read documentation from public sources: eg. Gentoo wiki, handbook etc

doesn't it have growisofs ?

^JdisME^: Not in the applications menu.
I am not trying to learn how to use gentoo, i just need to burn a dang image…….

growisofs is command line

^JDisMe^, yeah but I have to run it as root, and it won't run under sudo.
^JDisMe^, it's actually telling me my root password is wrong, yet I just set it before my x died in my gentoo install.

hey guys, a quick question. I'm installing gentoo x86 on my Athlon 64 system, in the kernel config what do I choose as processor family? Athlon64/Opteronetc or Athlon/Duron?

why don't you want to choose Athlon 64?

Anyone know of a Live Boot CD that runs most all wifi cards

I wanted compability with more applications that's why I choose gentoo x86 version however what do I choose as processor family in the kernel?

Is there a way to add a user to a Zope instance without access to the web interface but with access to the server it's running on?

well im going to be using a latop that i can onily run a boot cd on ( Long Story) and i need wifi knoppix does now support my wifi card as of yet

I may be totally wrong, but it's the kernel, and it shouldn't affect you ability to run 32 bit apps. In most cases it's just a gcc -march flag

Hi, I've configured my bluetooth in gentoo, got connection by rfcomm… I just don't know how tu send/get files

but it seems to be suported by an install of gentoo which I cant do

I thought the same just wasn't sure, thanks for you assistance

I've tried gnome-bluetooth but it hasn't worked…
Can I give me the name of program/script which allow to send/get files via bluetooth?
Can you*

eix bluetooth

Whoops, wrong channel.

meh oh well
i guess i am stuck in here.

friendly12345, there is kdebluetooth which wants a lot of KDE libs… and gnome-bluetooth which doesn't work

eix bluez

Is there any way i can install gentoo root into a .img file and make a mini cd gentoo boot loader that will load the os from inside the file on an ntfs hard drive?

hey guys i cant access my SNMP for some weird reason config seems to be ok snmpwalk sais No Response from 127.0.0.1

nn-gentoo: colinux runs within windows, not aware of any bootloader that can handle images directly like that
snmpd running?

gartt, I have bluez-utils and bluez-libs installed, bluetooth is working… I just don't know how tu send files

DrEeevil, # ps aux | grep snmpd
2 /usr/sbin/snmpd -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -C -c

friendly12345, I have bluez-utils and bluez-libs installed, bluetooth is working… I just don't know how tu send files *

i can pastebin my config if u want

hmm, that looks sane

DrEeevil, my config is http://pastebin.ca/604340

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_mobile_phone,_Bluetooth_and_GNOME not helpful ?

ah i guess i found some problem wiht my config 1sec
ah that was the problem lol, didnt see that I still had RWGroup instead of ROGroup

:-)
hmm, nice … I have a timing-bug in an app
starting it fails half the time

friendly12345, helpful but gnome-obex-send doesn't see my bluetooth device

DrEeevil, knoppix can i do it all the time

nn-gentoo: rephrase that please?

bluetooth drivers in kernel?

i have installed beryl but i cant see any effect
s

friendly12345, yes

knoppix can run of a image on and ntfs drive

#beryl

or #gentoo-xeffects

beryl& berry-settings

beryl its not changing….

if knoppix can why cant gentoo?

nn-gentoo: because you haven't told gentoo how to do that

oh sory

nn-gentoo: if knoppix can do it you just have to tear apart the knoppix cd and see how it does that

ok

I think it usesntfs-3g and unionfs, but I'm not sure

i seem to have rfcom butilt into my mother board is there any way to have 2 devices and onily use one?

hm, where's mzbot?

because i would like to use my blutooth stick to talk to my laptop

Hey, what xine libs do i need for quicktime and mp4 files? xine-lib package 1.1.4 doesnt have..

mp4 quicktime win32codecs USE flags ?

ah, just win32codecs

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gentoo-linux-help/14016-gdm-problem.html but the solutions they posted aren't helping me at all.

with portage 2.1.3_rc6, what are the bright green entries in the emerge -p output?

which one?

in this case, it's ruby, but I've seen others

package in 'world'

as in something I explicitly installed?

yes

thanks mark_alec

is there a way to do something like emerge -C *beryl*?

no

mkay

you need to `emerge -C beryl` then run `emerge –depclean -pv` to see what it will remove. remove the –pretend if you are sure it is safe

marvs or simply emerge -C the few packages you had to add to package.keywords when you installed beryl
bmarvs or simply emerge -C the few packages you had to add to package.keywords when you installed beryl/b

assuming he/she isn't ~arch

in that case they are listed http://gentoo-wiki.com/Beryl#Installing_Portage_Version

i think i go with the eix & copy-paste method :/

080/~hazard/swap.txt This keeps happening, any

Hazard, you didn't mount /dev/hda2 did you?

No.
This is on a newly booted livecd. All I've done is run fdsik to create the partitions, and put filesystems on hda1 and hda3.

Hazard, and is /dev/hda2's type changed to 82?

It is.
I could post the fdisk -l if it may be helpful?

Hazard, might be

One moment.

um the boot cd failed to run open gl module how do i start x with out open gl

http://70.16.101.247:8080/~hazard/fdisk.txt

Hazard, and `mount` shows nothing about /dev/hda2?

Nothing.

Hazard, i would continue for now and it should pick up on the swap on reboot

im betting that swap is on then

?
I'm afraid I don't understand.

/dev/hda2: Device or resource busy

How would it already be on, if I've just booted the livecd?

Hazard, mount should tell you

# swapon /dev/hda2
/dev/hda2: Device or resource busy

Hazard, type `swapon -s`

cat /proc/swaps

mount does not mention swap or /dev/hda2
That does show it as being /dev/hda2

Hazard, then it's on

then as i said swap is already on

How is it getting there? This happens only on this machine, and even when I've just booted to the livecd.
bHow is it getting there? This happens only on this machine, and even when I've just booted to the livecd./b
It makes me nervous about the rest of the installation.

Hazard, the simple thing is swapon -a
if you have the swap partiton mentioned in fstab

anyone experienced high cpu usage and memory leaks in the latest stable build of firefox (2.0.0.4) and especially X? almost everytime I try to visit a site X cpu and memory usage goes WAY up and so does firefox. I've tried to make a new profile but with the same result

Hazard, swap is completely optional in reality… at least for an install

after i load the wifi mod how do i connect to a network?

nn-gentoo: iwconfig

Yeah, it just makes me nervous to have quirks in the very beginning of my install process.

sdive, yes, Firefox 2 has a number of memory leaks

What version of Gnome are you using?

check bugzilla.mozilla.org beforehand

Keith-BlindUser: openbox here as a wm

Ah
Well,

but this is completely insane. I almost can't surf and scroll down normally

sdive, Flash?

yeah

Turn it off then, it's a known bug

stable

recently fixed in Firefox 3

Keith-BlindUser: ok
so how do I use flash?

Livecd. there's only a BS fstab.

sdive, you don't
You can temporarily use swfdec

I'll try it, thanks. when will firefox 3 be released?

sdive, there's alpha5 currently
the last alpha will be 6

the kernel module but its not a useable networking device how do i set that up?

will be released quite soon
alpha 5 has the bug. In the meantime, you can try a nightly build

okay, so probably it will take some time before it's in gentoo

sdive, uh, I have a CVS ebuild for Firefox, if you're interested

if it works I'd love to

It works, though sometimes you get bugs (heh, development and all)
Other than that, there's mozilla overlay
you can check it with layman

lol, well. what do you recommend? stable ebuild in gentoo + swfdec or cvs ebuild?

My ebuild is different from theirs
sdive, try swfdec first
it's in that overlay too

alright, thanks

hey, guys,
what is that command to see which package contains bla ?

?????

something contains 'bla'

equery b bla

ah
dcoats, equery
yea
thanks

is there a log of when packages have been updated in portage?

hays, each package's ChangeLog will show that

hays, yes, /var/log/emerge.log

emerge -pl

you can use qlop or genlop with that

I mean when they've been emerged on my system

hmm, uninstalling netscape-flash (still without swfdec) doesn't help either

sdive, weird
so it's a Firefox bug
Go report it on their bugzilla

but what is there to say? "bla bla firefox uses a lot of cpu + memory when I surf". I don't have any specific details so they can troubleshoot

is that number a date?
?

sdive, give them the URL
hays, a Unix timestamp

okay, will do. thank you again

can I convert that to human time?

hays, still, qlop and genlop are much nicer than reading the log
hays, definitely
it's a number of seconds since some date

heh, you referred to unix as non-human

AStorm, fyi FF3-a6 is out 2 days ago

The Alien OS(tm)!

grknight, oh, I'm old news

hm, how's the alpha atm?
the recycler component looks interesting, might make things a bit faster?

ff3 since alpha1 has been good

gh0st-, it's ok

hmm

I'm using Fx 3 since alpha 2
even nightlies

Thanks AStorm
got what I needed from qlog

is the UI for the new bookmarks system shockingly bad?

friendly12345, no, actually, I like it better than the old one
friendly12345, the changes aren't that large

How do I get a wifi module setup as a wifi device so i can run iwconfig

just modprobe it?

it'll probably break my addons but id like to see what ff3 is like atm

i did it probed fine but didnt show up as somthing like eth0

gh0st-, not all

true

many are already upgraded

but ff2 was like that

or iweth0

esp. major ones, like AdBlock, NoScript
nn-gentoo, wlan0

of course they like to use whole version numbers, just to pretend that they've been doing more than redesigning icons on the default theme

try ifconfig -a
friendly12345, uhm, Gecko 1.9 is really good
there are _tons_ of changes

well how do i get wlan0 to show up?

nn-gentoo, what's the wifi card?

bcm43XX

Uh, that may not work w/o special firmware
care to paste relevant lspci output?
(one line)

How do I disable my ps/2 and usb ports on my pc?

hi all
i have a gentoo installation with static routes set in /etc/conf.d/net. so far so good. but now i'd like to set the routes depending on the ip i get form the dhcp server. is this possible with the gentoo init scripts?

wave, don't load the module
or unload it

and/or bios

You can also twiddle sysfs files

should be possible

would you know the module name for ps/2?

okay couldnt find in net.examples, on gentoo.org or in the wiki, so anyone knows how?

A problem with a kde4 build error http://rafb.net/p/ivyLDC80.html any ideas?

psmouse here. I had to look at an arch box though.

Ok, X is configured correctly and starts now KDE won't start, here are the errors after I run startx and go back to tty1
Connection to "0.0"refused by server
No Protocol specified

but if I removed psmouse wouldn't that remove my ability to remote into the computer and use a mouse?

anyone know about setting up kde? I emerged the kde-meta package

? kde guide

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml

^

kde 4 is in gentoo ?

#gentoo-kde, it is in an overlay

i see
was just curious
i dont want to install kde

AStorm; hehe, all my add-ons arent supported
showip, mr tech install, greasemonkey, web developer, switchproxy, … etc.
funky

mr tech install is not needed anymore

hi all.

greasemonkey has an upgraded version
web developer? dunno, maybe forcing will work

oh well, looks nice

I need to add a slave NS to my primary djbdns

switchproxy is _old_

but actually seems like its using less memory

how can I do this?

will have to do testing tomorrow
should be good

ok, I think that is the guid I was following

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9a6) Gecko/20070629 GranParadiso/3.0a6

A problem with a kde4 build error http://rafb.net/p/ivyLDC80.html any ideas?

yep them are the instructions I was following
and don't work
so, where do I go from there?

well, you could tell use what problems you are having

laleshii, try eselect opengl xorg-x11
uh
eselect opengl set xorg-x11

when I startx I get a black screen with an X on it, when I move my mouse the x moves, no KDE

AStorm, lspci = BroadCom Corperation BCM4310 UART (rev 01)

when I go back to tty1 - where I started it I get these two messages: Connection to "0.0" refused by server
yep it is in there

and 2nd error No protocol specified

AStorm, already tried that doesn't work

ok, I already got xorg setup and working
or at least think I have

nn-gentoo, aha, it's the one that may work
You have to grab firmware for it

if you rm .xinitrc, when you startx, do you get twm in all its ugliness?

yep, I did that before setting up KDE

sounds strange, kde should start up correctly

yes, that is what I though.
thought

if you try using kdm, does it load correctly?

what does the -N tag do exactly in emerge?

–newuse, it will merge packages that have had a change in IUSE since they were last installed

just running kdm at the command line? I did that and it didn't give me any errors, I didn't see anything happen though either.

edit /etc/conf.d/xdm and set it to kdm, then run /etc/init.d/xdm start

mark_alec, what's an IUSE?

the USE flags

DammitCoetzee, allowed USE flags for the package

emerge –uDNv world.. currently on 60/167 packages. I only just installed the system a couple of weeks ago.. -_-

mark_alec, because I just added the -N tag to emerge -avD -update world

ok, I will give that a try, I will have to log out and back into gentoo to try it, I'm not good at chatting via the irssi thing

mark_alec, and now it wants to recompile 800 files

o_O, when did you last update?

mark_alec, this is the first time I added the N tag.. because I didn't know what it did

if you never did a full update with -N and have really lots of packages that is possible

DammitCoetzee, emerge -vuDaN world is the best

I find auDNv better

DrEeevil, less pronouncable

-reinstall changed-use — better then –newuse IMHO (only in ~arch portage)

uDNav

DrEeevil, I'm still not sure what I am doing with the N tag…

mark_alec, ?

apply changed useflags

why are they different…

if USE flags are changed in the ebuild, but the user didn't change anything, –newuse will make it recompile

why did they change?

mark_alec, I find that behaviour good

that's what I don't understand

esp. when a USE flag has been removed
DammitCoetzee, because you've modified USE variable in make.conf?
or added something to /etc/portage/package.use
or the packages have some new options
or some were removed

new options added to the package, change in the profiles default flags etc.

what if I had set the useflags with USE=" " emerge and not package.use
will they all dissapear?

Yes, they aren't permanent

gaaayyy

no, you will probably get more packages with -N if you do that

that's why you shouldn't use environment variables

..
no one told me that

DammitCoetzee, uhm, there's a document on that

the question is, who told you *to* do it?

the handbook does say to use package.use…

part of the tutorial

gentoo-wiki I think
that's the only place I've used

DammitCoetzee, uhm, evil site

gentoo-wiki != official

Use gentoo.org next time

or use gentoo-wiki, and when in doubt, *ask*

I really doubt gentoo-wiki said anything like tat
*that

well… someone told me to do that

friendly12345, likely, there are a lot of outdated documents there
DammitCoetzee, uhm, so just remember what the flags were
and add them to package.use

why not? gentoo-wiki might have a nude picture of britney spears and an article on how to cook oysters. It's a wiki — anyone can edit it.

It's possible to read what USE flags the package has been built with
with qlop or genlop

AStorm, I've been doing that for half a year… it will take forever

(the first is in portage-utils, the second is separate)
Yes, this will take some time
maybe with quse
I'll check if it's possible to dump flags for everything

the gentoo-wiki is bad, but I don't think it's *that* bad

it's quite easy, actually

depends on when you look at it

yeeehaaa! that was the ticket, it has only been a week, but I finally have a graphical environment

so.. is there a way to dump all my use files to package.use?

find /var/db/pkg -name 'IUSE' would be a good place to start

kojiro, mwhahaha
quse -U

thanks!

and that's it

possible, but lots of work

AStorm:

uhm, qlist -U I meant

portage-utils ftw

glad it works

do I need to start that everytime, or is there a place I can add that to start everytime?

DammitCoetzee, it's simple enough to modify qlist output with sed and put it into package.use

that's not a very big list..

I know I have seen somewhere to put the startup things, but don't remember where it is.

/etc/portage/package.use

Yep.
I prefer sed though

rc-update add xdm default

great, thanks a bundle!

DammitCoetzee, of course, you'd better prune the list a bit

hehe
this sucks, but gentoo still makes this lappy run like it's powered by the occult

DammitCoetzee - are you from south africa?

fifo_, originally yes, but I live in usa now why?

your nick
either way - i'm off now - leaving the office

fifo_, indeed
fifo_, are you from SA?

Could someone job my memory, if I want to ftp to a site ftp.nowhere.com, with Username, foo, and password bar, then is this the correct commandline: "ftp ftp.nowhere.com:foo bar" ?

DammitCoetzee, yes. here currently - pretoria

~ jog my memory

foo:bar@

MartianLobster, ftp foo:bar@ftp.nowhere.com

MartianLobster, use ncftp - much nicer client (ex. autocomplete, bookmarks, cache, etc)

AStorm, thanks

fifo_, cool, I can't speak afrikaans any more ( I was 5 when we moved but my parents still speak it constantly) but I can understand it near perfectly

fifo_, I prefer lftp, more features and still nice

fifo_, though.. not everyone speaks afrikaans.. so .. hmm. I think my dad lived in pretoria for a while

I Still can't get wlan0 to show up ? I modprobed all the stuff is there some program or script that sticks devices to be used like wlan0 eth0 etc?

nn-gentoo, you need _firmware_ for your card
There are some howtos for bcm43xx

?

Google the net.

nn-gentoo: should be ath0 or eth1
nn-gentoo: no wlan0 afaik

package.use" before an update world?

No
You still should use package.use

fine…

that qlist is for _one time_ listing of all packages with their USE flags
you can use that to recover from your previous wrongs

AStorm, hehe, can't sin intentionally and then ask forgiveness, eh?

DammitCoetzee, hmm, maybe, though then you have to extract the use flags for affected packages
just give the package name after -U option
and remove old entries from /etc/portage/package.use

/etc/portage/use and that will let me keep from using a text editor

and I can still be lazy

DammitCoetzee, yep
I remember some nice script for package.use management

=D

can't recall the name though
Search the Gentoo forums for it

it's easy to write it

cla, definitely

let's not brag or anything

is there a console command I can use that'll monitor a log file and output new entries to the screen?
is there a console command I can use that'll monitor a log file and output new entries to the screen?

astate, somecommand | tee logfile
:-)
man tee

when using the installer cd, it hangs on 'configuring opengl'. is there a boot option that i can pass that will let it bypass that step?

tail -f logile?

thanks

gn00b, probably nox
astate, ah, yep, tail -f
or less somefile, then F

gn00b boot with "nox" added to the kernel parameters

AStorm, DrEeevil, trying 'gentoo nox' now. i hope it works

It should.

hi, is ther a way i can find files that were modified in the last 72 hours? i tried find -mtime 3 but it only seems to find files in the last 48-72 - or at least it doesn't return the same results as -mtime 2

emerge cdrtools, cdrecord dev=/dev/something /path/to/iso

It is an image, that will burn it as an image?

dont use cdrtools
cdrkit is better

emerge cdrkit then what is the syntax

syntax should be the same
it even links cdrecord to wodim

GOD DO I HATE GENTOO Nothing works, every thing I emerge fails.

pebkac

Hm… Should we try and see what the problem is?

there's your answer

What? Where?

hdd

in the output you gave

block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
you must specify the filesystem type
…. wow

That's the one

you dont mount the cd if you still need to burn it

kk

You don't mount the cd, ever

but it's defintaly in /dev/hdd?

well, if it's a data cd

You mount the FS on the cd, which doesn't exist yet

ok, nitpicker

I thought it might of been in /dev/cdrw

Yeah, but it really helps to understand how it works
same thing

They both will work?

/dev/cdrw may be a softlink to hdd

cdrw is probably a simlink to hdd

Okay, now I wait one hour and after 3 days of trying to get Gentoo to work I get to have an OS. Yay =D

hi

I don't recall if I asked, but this will burn it as an image right? Not just put and iso on a disk

is Gentoo good for running a IRCD hosting business

of course, why not?
i get a 404 not found on that link

Wich arch do i use for a Core 2 Duo LV L7500 Processor?

well, gentoo has a very helpful community

2) (zcat) InsomniaIRC, disable what? the quotas requirement for the lame controlpanel you're trying to install? no. YOU can just figure out how to enable quotas

thx

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables — that's a serious error, did you recently change anything on your system?

yngwin, you must understand it will be the first time i have ever used gentoo so i may need quite a lot of support if thats ok?

I just got a new processor and did an emerge -e world and emerge -e system with no errors…

Hi all.

you may want to get used to the system first, before you apply it for business purposes
hmm, i guess something went wrong there, or with configuration. i'd suggest looking at the forums for possible causes and solutions

I was trying to do what I thought was a simple tar operation. I want to tar a subfolder, omit anything higher level than the path tarred.

`.`

/folder/to/tar/subfolders == I want only subfolders to show in the tar archive, not the /folder/to/tar bit.

oops
sorry

Any tips?

/folder/to/tar/*
ah wait, now i see what you mean
it's in the manpage alright

tar -cvpzf myfile.tgz /folder/to/tar/
I looked, and maybe I'm blind, but I don't see how to leave off the "/folder/to/tar" bit in the resulting tar.
So when I decompress, by default, it will recreate the whole file structure, which I don't especially want.

there is –strip-components NUMBER, but it says that's for extraction
you could always just cd /folder/to/tar

Yeah, I'd like to make it easy to use, even if it's a little harder to create the tar.

do you want to tarbomb ppl?

Drakonen, no.
Drakonen, I have a site with a webhost. I'm backing up my site files, and their folder structure is convoluted.

i'd just cd to that directory and make the tarball there

dont understant that last word

I'd like to create just /mysite/……

cd tot hat dit
