[gentoo-user] Segmentation faults in sigsuspend via pthread_mutex_lock
I am beating my head against a wall with this one... I am using gcc 3.2.2 and glibc 2.3.1 For some reason I get random segfaults, about one a day on a daemon I made.. Here is an example of the backtrace of the coredump. ANY ideas at all would be very appreicated. I have also read about linux threads and pthreads, and that you can interchange them.. is there any way to get a different thread library to test out? Thanks, Josh.

How do I find masked dependencies. I added ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 to make.conf and then emerge -p zh-kcfonts wanted to upgrade xfree to xfree-4.3.0-r3 Is xfree-4.3.0-r3 a dependency or just now available because I added ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86. When in doubt, you can look at the ebuild. This one (for me) is located at /usr/portage/media-fonts/zh-kcfonts/zh-kcfonts-1.05.ebuild and you can see the line: DEPEND=x11-base/xfree This means the ebuild just wants any version of xfree.

[ebuild N ] media-fonts/zh-kcfonts-1.05 If you used the -u (--upgrade) flag, then emerge would try to update all the dependencies (and the the dependencies of the dependencies of the dependencies) of the package. Does running: # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge zh-kcfonts -up Return a different list of packages? And you can specify ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 on the command line as shown to emerge masked packages, rather than making the setting global from make.conf. Based on http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=33534 I should edit /etc/portage/package.unmask right? but this file and folder do not exist. Should I create it or is there not a better way. Any help is much appreciated thanks. Yes, you have to create the file, and put a line in like: =app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1_beta2 to emerge packages that are listed in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask but packages are usually put in that file because the developers need to test them, or are known to be unstable, etc. It has nothing to do with zh-kcfonts, that package is masked because it has the line KEYWORDS=~x86 in the ebuild. One thing you can do is: 1. Set the PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage variable in /etc/make.conf 2. Create the directory if necessary 3. Copy /usr/portage/media-fonts/zh-kcfonts/zh-kcfonts-1.05.ebuild to /usr/local/portage/media-fonts/zh-kcfonts/zh-kcfonts-1.05.ebuild 4. Edit the copied-to file and change the KEYWORDS=~x86 line to KEYWORDS=x86 5. emerge zh-kcfonts should stop complaining about being masked.

[gentoo-user] esd/java conflict
After a lengthy emerge, I've finally managed to get the java plugin to work under both mozilla and firebird. However, java applets that make use of sound seem to freeze up if esd is running -- it seems like they use /dev/dsp for sound. How quaint. (I'm using the Blackdown JRE.) I'm wondering if there's any way to get the plugin to do sound correctly. I've already tried esddsp -- it seems, however, that the java plugin somehow manages to get around this and still uses /dev/dsp. Alternatively, is there any way to use Sun's Linux JRE? Does it work any better? (I remember reading -- in a Freenet README -- that the Blackdown JRE was buggy and unsuitable for running Freenet.

The reason for my question was the Portage watch in the latest Gentoo weekly newsletter. The second item (gnome-base/*) made me believe that there is a newer version that I should upgrade to. I haven't gotten heavily into gnome yet. However, you can do pretty much what you want with a couple of commands. I did as follows: cd /usr/portage/gnome/ grep gnome-session `find * | grep ebuild` From that output, I found that the package gnome-core is the package that conflicts with gnome-terminal. Checking the ebuild, I found that it conflicts with gnome-session and gnome-desktop as well. The reason is that gnome-core is gnome v1. Therefore, you could do the following: ls /usr/portage/gnome/ /tmp/gnome-packages # edit the file and remove gnome-core manually nano -w /tmp/gnome-packages for i in `cat /tmp/gnome-packages`; do emerge -n $i; done Adding the -n flag, as previously noted by sjors(?), will ensure that only older or non-existant versions are installed/upgraded.

Re: [gentoo-user] [DEBATE] Gentoo on laptops
Please excuse the top posting but this email client is awkward. I saw a laptop file system shoot-out, unfortunately I've no idea what the link is but it was high up in google. The guy compared JFS, XFS, Reisier and the exts. Resiser came out on top for battery life when he ran various tests, and he didn't use notail or noatime options. So I would go for this one because I would definitely like the journalling on a laptop, like Jonathan says. Enlightment is my favourite wm but the pager polls the desktops by default to keep the fancy pager display up to date. This would need to be turned off for maximum power saving, or could be set so it doesn't update unless the window is in focus. I must try using framebuffer instead of X, didn't know you could do that it sounds interesting! I love X for networking but I hear that work underway to create a faster display solution? Is this the way to go? Last I heard development seemed very fragmented on the alternative to X issue.

Here are a few thoughts and questions, if anyone has any comments or answers please answer ! 1) Which Filesystem to use ? I think the best filesystem for a laptop is ext2. It does not have a journal, which should mean fewer disk accesses hence less power consumption. However, it's kind of slow, so I am wondering if reiserfs with the notail and noatime options would not be better. I disagree here. I would use ext3, because of the journal. A laptop is very rarely used in such stable environment as a desktop, and I would choose a the additional fs-security over few minutes more runtime anytime. But of course I understand your point. 2) Which Window manager to use ? I usually use gnome/metacity as desktop environments, however, I find them both power and resource consuming, any suggestions ? I use Openbox (on my Pentium 75 Notebook with 14MB ram), but any *Box or Windowmaker, even enlightenment should do. Here http://www.windowmaker.org/features-performance.html is a nice comparison between some Windowmanagers. 3) APM or ACPI ? I have tried both and can't make a choice, does anyone have any experience to share ? My Notebook is to old for ACPI *g*. 4) Which kernel to use ? I am a bit lost here, I use the gs-sources because of the cpu speed scaling options, but I do not know if this is the best choice. I use gentoo-sources, but don't ask me why. I couldn't give a solid reason. 5) Framebuffer or not ? Is framebuffer power consuming ? I would choose framebuffer over X anytime, because its a lot less CPU/Memory consuming.

A laptop is very rarely used in such stable environment as a desktop, and I would choose a the additional fs-security over few minutes more runtime anytime. Exactly, esp. when you happen to have a ACPI-only laptop: Sometimes you don't know when your battery runs out. 3) APM or ACPI ? I have tried both and can't make a choice, does anyone have any experience to share ? My Notebook is to old for ACPI *g*. ACPI will supersede APM one day, until then APM has much better features (sleep, hibernate). So, if your laptop is supported by APM, go for it. If not, hope that someone happened to patch the very latest ACPI into your kernel, quality changes almost every week. Some release supported switching off my laptops display, the next didn't, the next did it again. Strange. 4) Which kernel to use ? I am a bit lost here, I use the gs-sources because of the cpu speed scaling options, but I do not know if this is the best choice. I use gentoo-sources, but don't ask me why. I couldn't give a solid reason. If you need ACPI, you should go for gentoo (stable relase), ck-patches (current patches) or pfeiffer-sources (kind of gentoo-beta, afaik). If you don't, choose as you like. 5) Framebuffer or not ? Is framebuffer power consuming ? I would choose framebuffer over X anytime, because its a lot less CPU/Memory consuming. I was told that Links and Mplayer run in FB without problems. I like framebuffer for the better display of small fonts, but my graphics adapter isn't accelerated under fbdev (ATI radeon 7500 mobility); So I run X using their driver.

[gentoo-user] Running ebuilds one step at a time
Hi, I had asked this about 6 weeks ago, but seem to have misplaced my notes and I'm not finding it in the archives. I'm getting some strange results today. Maybe someone can see what I'm doing wrong. Thanks in advance, and sorry for asking twice. I have need once in a while to patch code that emerge won't download itself. (New CVS from developers) To accomplish this I've been running the following set of tasks ebuild package fetch ebuild package unpack ebuild package clean (possibly not required, or wrong?) At this point I do the patches or substitute files as required by the developers, then... ebuild compile ebuild install Does this look correct? I had sort of pieced this back together from man ebuild, but I've had a couple of issues over the last few days: 1) It seems that for code that's already on my system, if I attempt the patches and compile/install, ebuild often tells me that 'it appears the package is already compiled'. I can get around this (I think!) using all 5 steps, but I do not think the original instructions required me to do this, and logically why should I keep fetching the same things over again? 2) Specifically WRT to the alsa-driver packages, and looking in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2/dernel/sound, I seem to have some old *.o files from June, indicating the install step was not doing what I thought it should, which would be to install today's version. However, I'm starting to get confused, so maybe I'm doing some other stupid thing... Thanks in advance for helping me straighten this out. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Unfortunately, without further information we can't do much to try to diagnose the problem. However, here's how you can recompile the kernel: 1. Boot up from your install CD. 2. Mount your /boot and / using the same mount command you did earlier when you were installing.

RE: [gentoo-user] startup while not connected to the net
Sean, I had a similar issue. Typically, my notebook is connected to a dhcp network and when I am travelling, like on the train or plane, I do not want to use dhcp because it has to time out and the configuration will fail. When I am travelling, I just set the network connection to a fixed ethernet address. To solve the problem, I have written a startup script called netconfig, which I put in /etc/init.d. The script uses an environment variable; NetConfig, and files called, net-DEFAULT, and net-config, located in /etc/conf.d. The files are copies of net modified for different configurations, i.e. a DHCP configuration and a fixed IP configuration. Thank you!!! This solved a problem I was facing. I have to connect my test laptop to the rack it has to test -- an isolated network with dedicated IPs -- or to the internet (for Gentoo updates) via the local navy network with DHCP. Now I can do either. As a side bonus, I learned a lot about the /etc/conf.d and /etc/init.d contents and functionality. Useful as a tool and a learning experience! How wonderful is that?!?

Thanks, I've passed on the info to my friend. Using a vanilla kernel didn't work, so he's not trying the above. Vanilla 2.4.21 should work fine... I had these problems. I ended up running vanilla 2.4.21, and applying some -ck patches myself for some desktop stuff (ie low latency).

Oh, I wrote this then I remembered the gotcha - the firware on the controller has to be up to date. I just can't remember which version :( If you friend has a pci version, get them to install the firmware upgrade from the highpoint website. If it's an onboard thingumme on the mobo, then download the latest bios/firmware upgrade from the manufacturer's website.

I've to dig into the archives to find out what we were talking about :-/
You can set /etc/hostname to any name you like. My boxes are named after
Ghostbusters' characters movie: stantz, zeddmore, venkman, dana, etc. So in
my /etc/hostname I've put venkman (without quotes.)
venkman gets its IP thru DHCP but this is not an issue, AFAICS dhcpd doesn't
change /etc/hostname.
HTH,
Norberto

[gentoo-user] lm_sensors - Will it work with my MB?
Howdy all, Can someone please tell me how to determine if my MB (ASUS A7V266-E) is supported by lm_sensors? I was a bit confused by the hardware compatibility list on the web site.

Re: [gentoo-user] opera 7.11 and flash [solved]
Sorry there Bob, I thought I sent out a [soved] message...but maybe not... So here is what I did: I don't know if it was needed but I installed gplflash and with it libflash installed too, and I already had netscape-flash, but it still wouln't work, then I installed lesstif, that's when it started working. I am glad to find opera support more javascripts, and now even the realplayer plugins work! :D So thanks Bob and everyone who helped. Regards, ZiM __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
