You do the labeling *before* you switch to the new kernel. Once you
get it working correctly with your current kernel, then you can
upgrade to the new ATA drivers and it will just work (which is the
whole point of this exercise.)



OK. Finally got updated to a new kernel. [...]

Anyway, this did sort of work out to be weird and not what I expected at
all. I expected the drives to be laid out in this way:

sda first drive with old ide
sdb second drive with old ide
sdc third drive with old ide
sdd forth drive with a SATA controller

Well, it actually sees the drive connected to the SATA controller first
then the other drives follow along after that in order.


I mentioned this in a reply :P  Usually SATA drives go first.  
(Emphasis on "usually.")


I must have missed that part.  Of course, I'm not surprised either.  You 
know what they say about "plans"?






Naturally when I
first tried to boot I was pointing to sda6 for my root partition. Well,
it was actually on sdb6. It did list the drives just before the error
and the blinking lights on the keyboard. No scroll back either. :-( I
saw just enough to be able to figure out what drives were what.

Is there some way to get it to change this or am I stuck? My concern is
that I plan to add another drive to the SATA card soon and that will
move everything up another notch. I would really like the IDE drives to
be seen first since I rarely change them.


What exactly is the problem you have?  You can't boot?  You can simply 
hit "Esc" in grub and go to text-only mode, and then "e" to edit the 
current grub boot entry.  There you can boot from somewhere else.





I would like either the old IDE drives to come first, since I rarely 
ever move them or grub to work with labels.  I have a entry in grub.conf 
that uses the labels but i have not rebooted yet.  According to what I 
have read it will work.  The only concern is that if grub doesn't like 
labels and I add another  drive, then I got to edit the grub boot line 
to boot and it took me a couple tries to get this right.  It seeing what 
used to be the last drive first sort of took me by surprise.  I don't 
like surprises to much.


At least I got me a new kernel and I can see the temps and fans in gkrellm.

[gentoo-user] problems adding local overlay and ebuild

[Arnau Bria]

Hi all,

I'd like to install mcollective and developer provides its ebuild.
so I've followed http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Overlay for adding a
local overlay.

*I had a problem when adding
"source /usr/local/portage/layman/make.conf" to my make.conf. That file
does not exists and layman has no make.conf file. Anyway, removing that line
and following the other steps makes my ebuilds available to emerge.

so this is my structure:
# ls -R /usr/local/portage/*
/usr/local/portage/dev-ruby:
stomp

/usr/local/portage/dev-ruby/stomp:

So now I try to install new package:

# emerge multi-tool/mcollective

and it complains about server line.

I've tried to add a parenthesis to that line, and after new digest, it
still complains about that line.

Lyman is a different thing. Nowadays its defaultlocation is 
/var/lib/layman (I think), so to use it you need to source the make.conf 
in this directory. But fr your own overlay, just set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY 
path in /etc/make.conf.

Re: [gentoo-user] help with Persistent hard disk device names with udev

[David Relson]

My udev rules use a combination of KERNEL, ATTRS(serial), and SYMLINK to
create named entries in /dev for my 2 USB hard drives.

With the following rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules: 

KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{serial}=="FD...7264507", SYMLINK+="WD1" 
KERNEL=="sd*", ATTRS{serial}=="FD...7285643", SYMLINK+="WD2"

Plugging them in results in /dev entries like:

  brw-rw  1 root disk8,  32 Aug 21 13:55 sdc
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Aug 21 13:55 WD1 -> sdc
  brw-rw  1 root disk8,  32 Aug 21 13:55 sdd
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Aug 21 13:55 WD2 -> sdd

And in /etc/fstab, I reference /dev/WD1 and /dev/WD2

HTH,

An error was introduced in the latest version of the ebuild.

replace
DEPEND="server? || ( =dev-ruby/stomp-1.1 >=dev-ruby/stomp-1.1.6 )
with
DEPEND="server? ( =dev-ruby/stomp-1.1 >=dev-ruby/stomp-1.1.6 )

as suggested by Alex. Previous version of the ebuild is functionnal, so
emerge -pv =mcollective-0.4.7
works fine.

Btw, you should keep the portage categories in your overlay, so the
mcollective package would be under dev-ruby, not multi-tool. However,
there’s no obligation ;)

Sincerely yours,
Jil

As long as you don't mind portage complaining about it. If you want to
use a custom category, add it to /etc/portage/categories.

not see a problem on it. Anyway, going to change to dev-ruby and follow

Re: [gentoo-user] Thunderbird and IMAP folders

[Andrea Conti]

Hi,

I routinely use thunderbird to access mail on a cyrus IMAP server with
very large folders (thousands of archived messages).

IMAP support in the 3.1 series seems quite stable to me (whereas 2.x had
frequent problems with folder indexes and 3.0.x tended to hang randomly
while performing server operations)

The only problem I can think of is that if you have used the default
settings for the message search feature, thunderbird will attempt to
build a full-text search index by downloading every message on the
server (body included) when it is first run. Thunderbird will try
downloading messages from multiple folders in parallel, which might
cause a hign load on the server resulting in substantial delays when
listing folder contents.

If thunderbird is indexing messages (look at the progress indicator on
the status bar), try leaving it alone until it is done -- it's a
one-time process.

If, on the other hand, everything is idle, I'm sorry but I have no idea.

HTH,

andrea

You got so close to the real answer, just one more step :-)

$ ldd /usr/lib64/apache2/modules/libphp5.so | grep mysql
libmysqlclient_r.so.16 => /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.16 
(0x7f185d528000)

Think this through: you have a complex piece of software with it's config in 
memory. A library that uses a library uses a library. Then you remove that 
last library and replace it with version x+1.

How do you expect the library in the middle of the chain to know about that? 
Via magic? Voodoo? Some automatic-check-if-stuff-changed-cron-job?

No, you just simply restart services that use things that changed, especially 
if they used (then closed) the file you just changed.

You might also need revdep-rebuild to get everything back 100%. It's all just 
situation-normal for a source based distro. Nothing you can, or should, try to 
"fix".

I think it's not an urgent problem when this happens. With portage 2.2 and 
the preserve-libs FEATURE, old libraries are not deleted when an update 
installs new, incompatible library. This happens when emerge @preserved-
rebuild has finished rebuilding all packages using the old library, so 
they now use the new one.

Without this feature, the old library is deleted after the update, and you 
need to use revdep-rebuild to rebuild all the stuff that uses the no 
longer existing library. I always thought of this as a big problem with 
Gentoo, and it's great that it no lonoger is.

I'm running vanilla here, so will run revdep-rebuild when I get a minute.  
Until then I downgraded, because I was being shouted at ...  O_O

If using less(1) or more(1), I would do it this way
   emerge -NDpvu world 2>&1 | less
under the bash shell.

There are a lot of advantages to less, but perhaps the most important is
that you can scroll backwards if you've gone too far -- you don't have to
start over.

If you use screen you can then use the scrollback it provides

Or adjust your terminal preferences to have a lot of scrollback room.  
The defaults tend to be in the range of 0 to 500 lines.  I often set

Hmmm, whatever you set it to, you will be a few lines short.  The error 
will always be just above what you can scroll back to.  lol

I do run unstable portage.  My point was that the upgrade breaks a 
dependency and that the dependency won't complete the compile process.  
So, if a person has not yet upgraded, you may be wise to wait until this 
gets fixed.


This would be good advice regardless of what version of portage a person 
is using.

[gentoo-user] Contest: Gentoo Prefix on Cygwin

[Al]

Do you understand the idea of Java -- having a common runtime layer to
run your program on any OS? But the Java is limited to Java. Cygwin on
the other hand brings the whole Posix environmet to windows.  But then
the Cygwin administration tool is limited to windows.

The answer from Gentoo Prefix: Take it and run it anywhere. Compile
your binaries yourself with Emerge administration tool -- for any OS.
There is still one missing link. While Gentoo prefix already runs on
enterprise versions of windows by use of Interix, it is not available
for the common user.

Let's start a contest to bring Gentoo Prefix to the masses! Be the
first human ever who sucessfully runs a fullblown Gentoo Prefix on
Cygwin!

I have done the initial research to prove that this is possible. You
find the basic instructions here:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Prefix/Cygwin. Now the race is open be
the first one, who really does it. There are still some quests to be
resolved by you.

Your mission: Sucessfully run "emerge -e system" on Cygwin!

Intersted to take part in the conetst? Then send an answer to this
posting. Hope to find some people to  join in and have fun.

Hi Jarry,

Some years ago I ran into some similar problem, I can't recall exactly
what. Lost in folklore (wiki?) were some instructions to first stop mysql
before you update it and I have been following them since.

I stop apach&  mysql, run the update,  dispatch-conf and then restart them
both.  Haven't had problems since.

There may be a better way for doing this - in which case others who know
better will hopefully chime in.


I'm curious as well. Imo it shouldn't be necessary to stop mysql server for
each update.



	I did in place upgrades from 5.0.12 or so on up to 5.0.77 or so. You're 
unlikely to have problems upgrading Mysql within 5.0.x. If you're moving 
up to 5.1, I would definitely stop inserts into Mysql, dump mysql, stop 
mysql, make a copy of /var/lib/mysql just in case, then upgrade to 5.1. 
Mysql should be able to upgrade your database in place, but it might 
not. If mysql-update doesn't work, importing a dumb is the most reliable 
way to get your data into 5.1.
	As other people have pointed out you'll need to revdep-rebuild or 
preserve the older client libs.
