No doubt :) But if the app hangs, it might not respond to TERM.

Correct.

But nonetheless, there's still the risk that the KILL has 
destroyed the application database (sort of - more correctly:
that the application and its database was in a "non consistent"
state when it received the signal).

AFAIK there is no such howto (I assume you mean "Replication" when you
say Master x Slave setup). Maybe cause MySQL has a complete howto on
how to enable this on ANY MYSQL installed on any system, even on
different OSs. There's no difference on the OS part if the MySQL
database is replicating or not...

Just follow:

Ah yes, the old dead fan problem... that's why I keep a can of
compressed air near my desk, and if not that, a pair of full lungs. ;-)

A low quality PSU shouldn't be too bad, for the time being. However, I
wouldn't recommend running on one for longer than necessary. I've had
friends who trusted case PSUs a little too much, and paid the price.

[gentoo-user] installing vmware?

2008-04-02 Thread luis jure


hello list,

i bought i laptop with windows xp pre-installed. i shrunk the windows
partition to install my gentoo linux, which is what i normally use. but
the machine is still dual boot.

several years ago (8-9) i tried a 30-days demo version of vmware and it
was quite efficient running windows in a virtual machine under linux.

now i found that there are many ebuilds to install vmware, and i'm a
bit confused:

first, there are many different ebuilds, what do i need to run the
windows xp i have installed in a different partition?

second, vmware is not free in the sense that you have to buy it, what
does the ebuild install? a free version? a demo?

i found a few pages on the net explaining how to install vmware on
gentoo, but i'm not clear about those issues. thanks for any hint.

best,

I've often found that the answer to these sorts of questions can by found by 
poking through the ~/.kde directory. Have a look through 
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/ and see if you can find something promising. 
There are still a few things in kde that can only be configured through the 
text files I think...

Anyway, hopefully this will get you started until someone can give you a real 
answer ;)

Understood. I think it sort of morphed into something more general,
like what to do when the rest of us run into the occasional problem we
all run into. Yesterday our MythTV backend server crashed 4 times. It
hung completely killing X, etc. and I was in need of a good way to
bring the machine down. I found this topic both timely and helpful, at
least for future problems.

Short of a serious emergency (e.g., UPS with
30-sec lag and no input power) stick with
'shutdown -fh now'. The main problem is that
you bypass the stop phase of all the app's
started up via init.d; very little short of
just hitting the reset switch or yanking the
power.



if you do it the right way, start with 'e' and 'i', all apps are cleanly 
terminated/killed. So if an app does not quit cleanly, it is broken.


The correct sequence is: e,i,u,b/o and it is absolutly save.
  



Folks, keep in mind why I asked this question in the first place.  My 
power supply was frying and I needed a VERY fast shutdown.  This was not 
asked as a fast way to shutdown just because we are impatient or 
something.  This was for the event of a serious emergency where I needed 
a shutdown in just a very few seconds not a minute or two.  Some of my 
services take a while to stop, foldingathome being the longest one.


Basically, this is not intended to be used to shutdown a puter on a

Unless you tell it otherwise, emerge always tries to operate on the
latest version of a package. You need "emerge -C
media-libs/gstreamer-0.8". Even though you have manually removed the
files, you should still run this to clean up your package database.


Tried that and emerge reported no package to be removed. emerge -Cp 
gstreamer shows only -0.10

E sends a SIGTERM to all applications. Any well behaved application
should shut down cleanly on this. I sends a SIGKILL, but it only affects
programs that were so locked up they ignored E, so you have nothing to
lose by then.

True, but if things come to worse, you've got to do a ALT+SysRq+B
or +O, even before +U completely returned. As said, it can happen,
that U(nmount) doesn't work - and then you'd need to shutdown
anyway.

Yep. Well, to be honest, I haven't had a fs die on me, because
of a Alt+SysRq+B.

if you do it the right way, start with 'e' and 'i', all apps are cleanly 
terminated/killed. So if an app does not quit cleanly, it is broken.

The correct sequence is: e,i,u,b/o and it is absolutly save.

Short of a serious emergency (e.g., UPS with
30-sec lag and no input power) stick with
'shutdown -fh now'. The main problem is that
you bypass the stop phase of all the app's
started up via init.d; very little short of

Do these various packages require specifically gstreamer-0.8? If so,

A good safety net will be to look into the portage cache in /var/db/pkg,

Thank you all for the replies, greatly appreciated.

no way of unmerging -0.8.. I then added search mask in make.conf so that

You're not shutting down the system in a clean way. Because of
this, filesystem and/or applications might get corrupt (eg. think
of a database, which was in the middle of writing to some of

In general that is the way it works. Neil posted to that effect a few 
hours ago. However, just because it usually works that way doesn't mean 
it always should or will work that way. There's this pesky thing 
called "real life" and the pesky "corner cases" that come with it.

Sometimes a new version of a package simply cannot co-exist with an 
older version because of the way it's coded. Portage first builds a 
package and installs it to a sandbox environment to ensure that the 
package is buildable. Only when tis is established and proven, will it 
delete the old version and move the new one onto the live filesystem. 
If you have this co-exist problem with that package, you have to 
manually unmerge the older one, as portage will not take the risk of 
leaving you with an unusable package (that correctly is a decision that 
a human must take, it is TheUnixWay(tm) and 
TheOneTrueWayOfComputing(tm).

The lesstif/openmotif mess is slightly different. Openmotif has an odd 
licensing scheme, so odd the Fedora (I think) has decided to not 
support it at all. The relevant Gentoo dev wants to set things up so 
that you have to have one or the other but not both. The sanest way to 
deal with this is to force the user to make a decision and implement 
it, and to not have to put up with whatever choice the dev happens to 
think is ideal. This could have been better documented. In fact, there 
should have been some documentation about it at all, but there isn't - 
just a mysterious blocker. I only know it because I read the new 
comments in $PORTDIR/profiles/packages.mask after every sync :-) And I 
see those comments are no longer there :-(

It's just one of those things that we have to put up with occasionally 
in real life

Hi, just for the records: I found the reason and the solution.
The 1.4.0.99 server uses hal to detect input devices etc. To configure
that properly one needs policy files inside /etc/hal/fdi/policy
Google for "hal xorg gentoo input" or "hal xorg evdev" to read more
about this.
Also if your keyboard stops working, your layout changed to US, Xorg
crashes on plugging in USB Keyboards, etc. you should look after this.
Furthermore it can't be bad to have up to date input drivers, currently
this means in particular evdev-1.2.0

thanks
Thomas

have you fiddled with:

right-click (on the taskbar menu button) ->
[Panel Menu] ->

It is, but the way portage updates packages is to install the new version
and then uninstall the old. This means that at some point, you have files
from both releases installed. This usually causes no problems, but
occasionally it does so you have to remove the old package first, hence
the block.

| Are you using anything on top of X?
Openbox Desktop with some kde4-apps like konsole, okular, etc...

is your swap file >= RAM?
yes it is, and actually it used to work more or less before i started to
fiddle with the display driver. So, to be more explicit:
One week ago I was using the 2.2.1 version of i810 display driver.
Coming back from Suspend (Disk OR Ram) it freezed the system in around
1/4 of the cases. I wanted to solve that. Now I am using the 2.2.99
version of the i810 driver and suspend to RAM works perfectly, is very
fast and shows no freezes, while suspend to Disk gives the crashes of X.
But the system resumes perfectly from console. And after X crashed
"startx" brings it back and everything is fine...
The strange thing here is, that changing the driver back does not change
the behaviour back. It is something else appearently.

~  I don't
| know if it will even let you suspend if that's not the case but I'll ask

I use hibernate-script which can be run with verbose output and
everything looks fine there. A attached a typical run below...

~ Does /var/log/messages and/or dmesg show anything?
no :(
