[gentoo-user] Java - Adding jakarta commons to classpath

[Bogdan Ionita]

Hello,

I emerged all of the commons-* and noticed that they all come with an 
package.env that contains a description and a classpath.
The classpath part sits between ":", so I guess it's meant to be 
concatenated (probably automatically) to the system's classpath.

How do I do that ?

Of course, just copying/simlinking the jars to jre/lib/ext would do the 
trick, but maybe there's a more elegant way.

Heh You're lucky, just -a won't preserve file permissions. :P

[gentoo-user] fresh install -> init boot failure

[Mark Hawrylak]

Greetings and salutations
   I have just done a fresh install of gentoo.   the problem is the 
initscript do not start the system.
the kernel boots and just hangs at.
freeing unused kernel memory:  64k Freed
   there is no kernel panic or noticable errors  note: the root fs 
gets mounted.
at this point the system is running.  I just dont get a login shell and 
no init scripts execute.

FYI
I used a chrooted enviroment to do the installation.  I did everything 
described in the installtion manual except run /sbin/lilo  cause the HD 
was in another computer, so I am booting off a floppy < the  kernel 
boots and does need any modules to start the system.>
also installed these before bootup   < dont think these makes a difference >

emerge ftp
emerge samba
emerge nfs-utils
emerge mp3blaster
when is tempfs needed? I am not sure I compiled that in,   the 
reason is I could not find it in the kernel compilation menu thingy. 
is it called ramfs?  

could this be the problem   is /dev/shm  the device ?  because that 
exists and works ( so that is probably not it )
I am using 2.4.21 kernel  and was able to use it to boot the system with 
the extracted stage1_1.4_rc4.tar.bz2 on the root fs.

any hints?
what is the boot process?  what files need to be there?
init.d and inittab seem to be ok.
/sbin/init exists
thanks in advance

Is this an official ebuild you're talking about? SRC_URI _is_ used by
portage, otherwise some of my private ebuilds would not work. If it is
an unofficial ebuild check if SRC_URI is correct and the source is still
there, as sometimes sources get deleted or renamed upstream.

The MTRR_TYPE_WRCOMB problem has been plaguing me lately, especially on

You need to put the -r5 in your overlay and change the KEYWORDS to ~x86 or
x86, whatever you're running in your system, so it won't be replaced by
-r4. I'm not going to explain how to set up an overlay here, it's been
explained many other times. The ebuild in your normal portage tree will be
overwritten whenever you emerge sync, that's why you need it in your
overlay. I'll probably move it to ~arch soon if I don't hear of major
problems with it.

I had the same error when I set it up on my computer.

Read this forum thread:

It will tell you what modules to install in your kernel.

One thing it doesn't say is you need to modprobe those modules
_before_ you emerge lm-sensors. At least that worked for me.

Hope that helps,

The current version of lm-sensors (2.7.0-r1) can't be emerged with the

There's no need to exclude /dev.  rsync transfers its contents intact.

Thanks for the suggestion. Someone else suggested I boot from the
install CD, so I combined your suggestions and was pleasantly surprised
at the ease with which this worked.

I booted from the CD, partitioned and mounted the new drive as I wanted,
mounted the old drive, then did:

rsync -a --progress /old/ /new

Then I switched cables so the old drive was now hda, booted from the CD
and ran grub on hd0. It booted right up from the new drive after that.

The thing I like about gentoo is I really feel like I understand what is
going on, so I'm able to do things like this which I would never dream
of with Red Hat or Mandrake.

[gentoo-user] mplayer and real audio?

[Adam Scriven]

Hello again.

I got mplayer working (the xmms bug the mplayer emerge was dying on is fixed
now, thanks J.E. and Bugzilla!)

MPlayer is working just perfectly for MPEG and Quicktime movies, but for
real audio it's just crapping out horribly.  I have an old .RA file on
my hard drive, and it plays the sound just fine but the video is unwatchable,
mostly black.  Any RA streams I try and download have crashed mplayer.

Has anyone had any success with this?  I'd rather not install the Real Audio
player.

Thanks!

   In general, what you can boot off of is the domain of the BIOS, including
the subsidiary BIOS on whatever cards are in there.  SCSI cards almost
always have a BIOS that allows you to boot off of them, most modern Network
cards do...  Firewire cards probably would, but the order in which things
are tried is still up to the main BIOS.

   So, if you're going to use this on other than your main system, you
will almost certainly need a boot disk.

[gentoo-user] qmail chokes on kmail...

I cannot send messages from Kmail: they get to the MTA (qmail) and there 
they stay:

messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

Moreover, top and ps aux show 4 supervise-related zombies, which may or 
may not have something to do with this issue.

There are no problems with outcoming messages from Evolution. I guess 
(from googling) that this is related to the way Kmail ends messages, but I

Do you have other rules which are working? Are you sure, that postfix

Check that there is no file $HOME/.maildir/gentoo-user and try this
settings:

MAILDIR=$HOME/.maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR

$MAILDIR/gentoo-user/

   Heck, I had both a clock that slipped off significantly, and sound
that would occasionally 'glitch' and stutter.  Turned out both had the
same cause: I have an ASUS A7V8X motherboard, and the ASUS 'iPanel'
front panel display.  There's a setting in the BIOS that is supposed to
cause the display to cycle between its various values (it can display
fan speeds, temperatures, boot status, and the like) at regular intervals.

   Turns out that the BIOS setting turned on some interrupt that Linux
didn't know how to handle properly, and that resulted in blocking the
timer interrupt a couple of times every several seconds.

   Now, while I have no idea what motherboard and settings you're using,
the lesson here is, un-handled interrupts are a common cause of this (as
you mention above), and that Linux may not be the only source of interrupts
on your system.  Check for any BIOS setting that enables repetitive
operations as well, as that may be happening at the hardware level.

[gentoo-user] 2.5.74 kernel with alsa

[Collins Richey]

I hate alsa, but that's now the only way to fly.

Well, I have my 2.5.74 kernel up and running.  Now what about alsa?

I've followed the releveant portions (alsa drivers are now in the
kernel) of the alsa documentation:

1) Updated /etc/modules.d/alsa with seemingly correct stuff
2) modules-update

However, at boot I get the following

Jul  4 14:41:55 richeypc3 kernel: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
Driver Versi on 0.9.4 (Mon Jun 09 12:01:18 2003 UTC).
Jul  4 14:41:55 richeypc3 kernel: specify port
Jul  4 14:41:55 richeypc3 kernel: ALSA device list:
Jul  4 14:41:55 richeypc3 kernel:   No soundcards found.

And, of course, devfs doesn't build the /dev/xxx for sound.

modprobe snd_ens1371 works just fine, but it's useless without the
/dev/xxx entries.

What do I need to do to get the sound card loaded during boot so that
devfs will do the right thing.

Sigh, on 2.4.20 with OSS drivers I didn't need to do anything, and
sound just worked.

maybe you are getting some speedups related to random file access, and I for 
myself have set my drives to quiet most of the time and switch, when I know 
that some stress (like emerging glibc, kde, gcc) is coming up.

My disks don't complain, but I read, that this can cause problems, so I warn 
everybody. Most people just want to be safe, not fast ;o) (or quiet).

Glück Auf,
Volker

Thanks, that was the answer.

Also a couple of additions to your excellent howto:

IMPORTANT !!!:
[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
[*] /dev file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] /dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs
[*] VGA text console

The first line is something most newbies miss.
The 2.5 make oldconfig process turned off VGA text console support!

This was what I expect it does, but this is not the case.
It didn't find in the mirrors and give an error without trying the

[gentoo-user] 30 to 60GB hard drive migration

[Chris Bare]

I have a gentoo install running fine on a 30GB drive. I just got a 60GB
drive that I would like to switch to.
I know how to add the 60GB as a second drive, but what I really want is
the current install from the 30GB installed on the 60GB.
I know I could dd the old partitions, but I'd like to change the size of
the partitions. I was wondering if I can copy the old files to a new
partition and have everything work. the /dev files are the main thing
I'd be concerned about. And also the best command to do the copy and
preserve all the right permissions etc.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Since 2.5.x the devfs does _not_ mount /dev/pts! You have to mount it
yourself. BTW the /dev/pts support in the kernel is needed, even
if you have devfs (which should be the case).

I'm afraid those informations are hard to find, so I post a small
howto.

Also remember to mount the sysfs.

No guarantee that it will work or that i haven't forgotten anything.

HTH
Florian Huber

Mini-2.5-Kernel-Howto
NB: all indented text is meant to be a shell command :o)

1. resync portage tree in order to get the latest kernel sources:
emerge rsync

2. merge the beta kernel sources, e.g. development-sources or
mm-sources. Better: get the latest sources + bk-patches from
kernel.org
emerge development-sources

3. change the softlinks in /usr/src
rm /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-beta /usr/src/linux

4. update kernel config
cd /usr/src/linux
cp ../linux-2.4.xx/.config .
make oldconfig
(and/or do a "make menuconfig")

IMPORTANT !!!:
[*] /dev file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] /dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs

5. compile the kernel
make clean bzImage modules modules_install
(clean is not needed if you compile the kernel for the first time)

6. copy bzImage
mount /boot
(if necessary)
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage_2.5.xx
(if you have another processor architecture take the correct image)

7. reconfigure your bootloader: edit grub.conf or lilo.conf. When
using lilo don't forget to "/sbin/lilo" after you made the changes.
More detailed: see gentoo install instructions.

8. merge a current version of the module-init-tools so that you are
able to load 2.5.x kernel modules
emerge module-init-tools

9. edit /etc/fstab and add sysfs and devpts:
  none/dev/ptsdevptsdefaults0 0
  none/syssysfs defaults0 0

10. edit /etc/modules.autoload or /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.5
and check if those files are linked

11. reboot and cross your fingers ;)

12. Your kernel boots? Fine! Now re-emerge kernel-related stuff, e.g.
nvidia-kernel, iptables
Remember, alsa-driver is not required any more. FYI the lm_sensors
drivers are included in the kernel, but the libsensors is not
2.5-ready ATM.

It is, but I second a previous poster's advice to use privoxy. As
mentioned in the privoxy FAQ (http://www.privoxy.org/faq/index.html)
Junkbuster development has stopped a long time ago. Privoxy is based on
the junkbuster code but is in active development.

My drive definetely has more then 2 settings, because, I remember that before 
I changed value of acoustic option it was >200 and <256 -- somewhere in the 
middle.

So, I wont risk and stay with my current setup until someone here tells me 
that its safe to set some value (and this will give some speed effect)  
or until someone else tells that its very dangerous and will slow my drive 
down :).

Thanks for reply.

this was my thinking, but here's what happend

# mkdir directory
# chown nobody.users directory
# exit
$ touch directory/asdf
$ ls -l directory
  -rw-r--r--1 username   users   0 Jul  4 13:52 asdf

note that "username" still owns the file, not "nobody" dispite the setuid on 
the directory.  this does however work with setgid, but since files are 
created allowing only the user to write to files, neither of these options 
are helpful.

No framebuffer support, but the ^%$£ 2.5 config turned off VGA onsole
support!  I fixed that, and now boot is ok and X + graphical apps run
fine, but I can't get any xterm to start.

UNIX98_PTY support is on, and I can't see anything else obvious that's
missing in the configuration.

Any ideas?

i believe you can just set the sticky bit on the topdir, and all subdirs will 
inherit the same permissions

i did that, but then if a user creates a directory inside that directory, it 
has permissions of 755, not 775.  so that only works one level deep.

if i could force nfs and to write files with g+w permissions, then i could 
abandon ssh and just use samba, nfs, and ftp, but i don't think you can do 
that...

If Kmail stores mail in mbox format you can "import" these into

[gentoo-user] setting proper permissions on a file/webserver

[daniel]

i'm trying to setup a development server here @work and i've run into a minor 
snag.  what i want is to allow a bunch of different users access to a 
directory so they can read/write files.  but i want each person to have a 
different login since every once in a while a user leaves the company, and i 
just want to cancel their account, and not have to re-issue a new password to 
all the remaining employees.

is there a proper way to do this?  ideally, i want to be able to connect via 
samba, nfs, (development box) and ftp and ssh (live box).

thanks for any help out there ;-)

[gentoo-user] emerge ati-drivers error

	Following up on my mplayer help post, I decided to assume that it was 
the radeon card that caused mplayer to break.  I tried to emerge the 
ati-drivers package, but that resulted in this error:

I couldn't find anything for 4.3.0 at ati.com, so I grabbed the 
glx1_linux_X4.3.zip file from schneider-digital.de.

Next problem Check.sh failes to run correctly.  I've done a fair amount

[gentoo-user] Sudden problems with vmware-workstation

[Urs Joss]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi everybody

I have used vmware-workstation (first 3.2 and later 4.0) without Gentoo 
specific problems for some time.

However, a few days ago, I discovered I could not start any virtual 
machines anymore (neither with 3.2 nor with 4.0). Apparently the thread 
VMX terminates unexpectedly. Due to the abrupt stop, vmware "thinks" 
there are still running machines when I try to re-run it.

My first thought about changes on my system was module-init-tools which 
I have emerged in order to test development kernels. But the problem 
remained after unmerging it and remerging modutils.

Maybe the new baselayout has something to do with it. Did anybody else 
experience something alike?

Thanks for any hints and kind regards
Urs

P.s. the only unstable packages I have emerged are:
sys-apps/miscfiles-1.3-r2
x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3
net-www/opera-7.11
app-text/tetex-2.0.2

[gentoo-user] Gentoo-user mail lag?

[Ernie Schroder]

Happy Fourth all,
I'm wondering if this is a problem on my end or on the Gentoo end 
Both yesterday and today I've experienced periods of time when I've 
received no list posts for several hours. Yesteday when I finally 
recieved posts I got 34 at once. Today, about an hour ago I got 48, the 
earliest from late last night this seems to indicate that I received no 
posts for about 9 hours. Yesterday it was more like 3 hours without new 
posts.
Additionally, a few of the posts have wierd dates (one was stamped 
2/18/05 with threaded replies from 2/18/03 another dated 8/30/03 was 
apparently sent in March)
Has anyone else seen this?

Try the following: Stop artsd ("artsshell terminate"), remove the specific dir 
("rm -rf /tmp/mcop-ernie") and then restart artsd (simply be starting noatun, 
krec, etc...). If you open a second konsole and run "kdeinit" in there 
before, you can get more output from the running/starting artsd. If you 
problems remain, look at this...

Maybe you can also configure your artsd (inside ControlCenter) to give you 
debug output and setting no application for the output so they only appear in 
the logs/output from kdeinit, otherwise you will have to click "Ok" for 
_every_ debug message.

Thats an debugmessage from kmplayer not aRts...

So the problem is definitly aRts.

I just did a fresh install following the instructions for getting OpenPGP 
working with KMail from the Aegypten homepage yesterday... 

i noticed that it didnt work with gpgme >= 0.4.0, so after a downgrade to 
0.3.9 and USE="-gtk -ncurses" emerge pinentry, the pinentry-qt dialog popped 
up fine inside KMail.. 

i think you have to have the USE flags set, otherwise it always defaults to 
trying to use the ncurses interface (the instructions on aegypten says to 
./configure --without-curses --without-gtk, equivalent of setting those USE 
flags)

Wrong command:
- don't use -u with single packages
- it seems you're in /root and give emerge a relative path

Try "emerge -p /usr/portage/dev-util/anjuta/anjuta-1.1.97.ebuild".
Please note that the ebuild will be deleted on your next emerge sync,
copy it to PORTDIR_OVERLAY (/usr/local/portage is the default for that)
to keep it.

[gentoo-user] Anjuta not being emerged (was: Anjuta version)

[Paulo Jorge de Oliveira Cantante de Matos]

Hi all,

I've renamed ebuild anjuta-1.1.1 to anjuta-1.1.97 and then I did:
ebuild /usr/portage/dev-util/anjuta/anjuta-1.1.97.ebuild digest
and everything went just fine.

Then I did: 
euler root # emerge -up dev-util/anjuta-1.1.97.ebuild
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies \!!! aux_get(): ebuild for 'root/anjuta-1.1.97'
does not exist at:
!!!/usr/portage/root/anjuta/anjuta-1.1.97.ebuild
emerge: create(): aux_get() error on root/anjuta-1.1.97; aborting...
euler root # emerge -up dev-util/anjuta-1.1.97
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy
"dev-util/anjuta-1.1.97".
 
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
euler root # emerge -up dev-util/anjuta
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies ...done!

But it seems anjuta just doesn't want to be installed. What can I do?

Best regards,

Paulo Matos

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: ntp

[William Kenworthy]

There is more than one cause.  Check the forums, its full of this
issue.  The definite cause for me on a celery dell laptop was the gnome
battery applet.  It has a known bug (fixed???) where it stalls the
machine whilst reading /proc under apm.

On a later machine with a much faster p4, you can sometimes see it
wandering a little, but never as much as previously.  ide accesses (esp
burning cd's) was another cause.  Check the unmask irq and dma.

Chrony seems a little more tolerant and trouble free than ntp under
these conditions, but I think ntp does a better job on a normal system.

[gentoo-user] how to re-emerge everithing?

[Alberto Bert]

Hi all,

I recently (you help me a lot) installed gentoo on my pc. Just now (me
stupid) I realized that I compiled everything with default CFLAGS. So
that I didn't use the main nice gentoo's feature.
Now, that the system is working, (almost everything) I would like to
re-emerge (or recompile) everything, but really everything, using more
convenient CFLAGS (still I don't have a lot of packages.)

Is that possible? And How?
I have got qpkg to show me my packages, but is that really everything
what I have installed from the initial stage?
Is there any rules to follow in emerging? (dependences)

Any other suggestion?

Thanks,
Alberto

[gentoo-user] NPTL

[Sebastian Bergmann]

  I installed a minimal GENTOO system (no X, etc.) with

USE="nptl -X -gtk -gnome -alsa"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

  starting from stage1 and installed the Linux 2.5.74-mm1 kernel.

  So far, so good.

  A phenomenon I experience quite often is that the IO-Wait value in
  "top" goes up to 99% and stays there until I reboot. This happens
  always during the ./configure run of difference software packages, for
  instance with httpd-2.1 or PHP 5.

  Another thing is that I just wanted to emerge valgrind and its
  configure script printed

checking if this is an NPTL-based system... no

  How so?

True, true.. I stopped using NTPd because of this (it gave up like one
time in a week becuase the lag was too large). I'm back to syncing time
with home-made perl scripts instead.

Although, what to do when it seems it is the system *software* that seems
to mess up time and there seems to be no explanation as to why?

These are the explanations I've heard so far for the lagging time 
behavior:

* It's the power-save functionality of the kernel messing time up (No it 
isn't, problem remains unchanged no matter if APM and APIC is enabled or 
disabled)

* It's a hardware error (no it isn't, since hwclock shows the correct 
time)

* It's a bug in the gnome clock applet (no it isn't, since I run KDE, and 
besides the problem is the same in console mode)

* It's a problem with settings of IDE disks and too aggressive hdparm 
settings, with the result that the system doesn't have the resources left 
to call the clock interrupt often enough (nope, I have a system entirely 
built on SCSI. This one might still be true some similar way though, but I 
don't know how to check it)

* You haven't enabled RTC or RTC isn't readable (It is, I checked. Besides 
VMWare complains loudly if RTC isn't available, and since VMWare keeps 
quiet I think I did right)

If someone else have any theories - no matter how far out, I will even 
check for evil green goblins sitting in the chassis messing with the clock 
chip - I will sure test them.

No, I'rm not using esd and I'm not using artsd. Neither alsa. Just OSS.

Do you have esd or artsd running? I believe these block access to the

esd. I'm not sure about artsd, though.

[gentoo-user] PCMCIA CDROM in Sony PCG-Z505VR/K locks machine on insertion

[Weston Boyd]

I am trying to use a Sony PCMCIA Cardbus CDROM (PCGA-CD51/A), and my 
machine locks up everytime.  I have tryied configuring PCMCIA support in 
the 2.4.21 kernel to be built both as a module, and in the kernel.  I 
have tried with the all the various options in the menuconfig with no 
success.  I also have as a module the PCMCIA IDE device, and enable both 
Generic IDE support, and PCI IDE Sharing.

I get the first beep telling me that cardmgr has located the CDROM in 
the database, but right after that it hard locks the machine.

I have moved this same CDROM over to another Sony laptop (different 
model) running gentoo and it works flawlessly.

Hopefully this is just a interrupt, or I/O port issue

If anyboday knows please let me know.

Weston
