Same here.  I've seen it before, wait a few hours and emerge sync
again, and chances are it'll be fixed by the gentoo devs.

Have you upgraded to gentoolkit-0.1.30 ?
The only remaining rebuild order item in revdep-rebuild that has been
noted is sometimes still getting libwww wrong, due to how libwww is used
(libwww takes mysql as an optional extra, and one of the mysql
dependancies requires libwww)

[gentoo-user] emerge dependency errors

[Christian Aust]

Hi all,

I'm starting to get those emerge errors like this one:

de-christiana root # emerge -Dup world
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating world dependencies -
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-libs/nspr-4.3" have been
masked.
!!!(dependency required by "net-mail/evolution-1.4.3" [ebuild])
 
!!! Problem with ebuild net-mail/evolution-1.4.3
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.
 
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

This never happened before, is something wrong with my portage, or is
someone testing his/her work on an unstable system only? (I'm running
x86). Anyone having the same problem? Best regards,

-  Christian

revdep-rebuild sucks at determining the build order.  Its failed on the
two systems (different errors) I have used it on so far.  

The fix was to run it, control-c when it generates a list of what needs
rebuilding, and then emerge them one by one with the one(s) that
generated errors last.  Then "rm /root/.revdep*", rerun revdep-rebuild
to make sure you got them all.

Hello Gëzim,

"JUST a server"? What sort of server? How much hard drive space do you have? 
It's generally a good idea to have separate partitions for:
/
/boot
/home
/var
/tmp (tmpfs)

As far as size goes, however, it really depends on what you want to use the 
server for. If your setting it up as a SAMBA domain server, you may want a 
large /home, but if no users will "log in" at all you may not want a separate 
/home at all. Here's a small table of what basic services put data where.

WWW /home
FTP /home
SAMBA   /home
SQL /var
MAIL /var

Remember that you'll want at least 512MB for /var for emerging stuff; 1~4GB if 
you want to emerge XFree86, OpenOffice, etc to run as a "terminal server". 
/boot should be about 100MB. / only needs about 200MB and 2~3GB for /usr 
would be plenty. Apart from that, as I said above, it really depends on what 
services you want to run, how big the userbase is and how much disk space 
you've got to play with.

If you really want to increase bandwidth like that, have a switch that
supports trunking/link-aggregation, and use the bonding driver in linux.
I have 3 gigabit ethernet cards bonded together attached to a D-Link
switch for high throughput. This then becomes totally oblivious of the
IP address, as it appears as a single system, and also adds failover
redundancy as a bonus.

First of all I would suggest that you upgrade KDE to 3.1.2, then use

[gentoo-user] Upgraded XFree86 to 4.3.0 - KDE system fonts broken :-(((

[Heribert Slama]

Hi,

An "emerge -u system" upgraded **XFree86** to 4.3.0.

Now **KDE** 3.1.1a can no longer display the system fonts
(Helvetica, IIRC). Text appears as thin long bars (extremely
strechted). Dialog boxes are distorted (much too wide), control
elements are mostly shifted out of sight; I couldn't even log out
properly. Gnome has no font problems, but KDE apps invoked from
Gnome menu have them.

Of course, I searched the forums & mailing lists. I didn't find a
solution to my problem. (I did see although, that many people (did)
have problems with fonts, and many of them got no advice that
helped.)

I tried with and w/o XFS (X font server) - makes no difference. Is
/etc/X11/XftConfig still needed? AFAICT Xft is v2.0 which should
rely on "fontconfig" for font selection.

Best regards,
-Heribert

Yeah, the reason why I want two network cards is because this machine is a
data server.  The limiting factor is the 100Mbs bandwidth, so I thought
I'd just plop in another ethernet card.  Clients connecting to the machine
would just randomly pick one of the two IP addresses to connect to.

Re: [gentoo-user] multiple ethernet cards

I carefuly read your message, but the aim of your trying is still
hiden for me :-(.
Basically if assigning two or more IP's from the same network
IP alias is the best choice.
If for some reason usage of diferent interfaces is needed,
you should split the network into subnetworks (using NETMASK),
so every iface has its own network ...
and you can apply everything you learned about
"cards on diferent networks" :-).
Please read comments in text.

I've been playing with a multiple ethernet card configuration.  There's a

able to write servers that bind to the different addresses but run on 
the same machine.

Problem is, I can't get it to work.  Here's ifconfig's output:

My routing table, though I don't think it matters:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
192.168.0.0 *   255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth0
192.168.0.0 *   255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth1
loopbacklocalhost   255.0.0.0   UG0  00 lo
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG1  00 eth0
The computer with two ethernet cards is called milhouse, and a seperate
machine on the network is boris.
Now, when I ping 192.168.0.10 from boris, I only see eth0's light blink.  
I can completely disconnect eth1 and it still works.
 

The reason is in the manner how kernel networking routines
worx and fact, that both ifaces are on the same network.
You shall be able to ping it even if stoping IP forwarding.
"ip neigh show"'s output:

boris root # ip neigh show
192.168.0.2 dev eth0 lladdr 00:0c:6e:3d:f2:b0 nud reachable
192.168.0.10 dev eth0 lladdr 00:0c:6e:3d:f2:b0 nud reachable
It shows that it thinks 192.168.0.10 belongs to eth0 of milhouse (based on
the MAC address).  How do I get milhouse to accept traffic to 192.168.0.10
only on eth1?  Is this possible at all?
 

Hmm ... you can stop access to 192.168.0.10 on eth0  by firewall rules,
but you will not be able to connect to 192.168.0.10 on eth1 anyway.
To get it work you should adjust interfaces similar to this:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.128 broadcast 
192.168.0.255 (or 128)
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.130 netmask 255.255.255.128 broadcast 192.168.0.255

so, on eth0 is (sub)network 192.168.0.0/25 and on eth1 192.168.0.128/25,
but from boris you'll be able directly ping only the iface on the same 
network,
the second only if IP forwarding (and firewall) allows it.

I suffered from the same problem, but it only happened/happens with certain 
video types. A new version of mplayer became available since glibc/gcc, so 
it's been recompiled since then. However, I'm not sure if it has been fixed 
or not; I can't remember if the problem still occurs. Did you narrow the 
cause down to the mplayer package?

[gentoo-user] startup scripts- > updates not tested enough

[Denny Schierz]

hi,


i don't know, what some developer are doing since last weeks :-/ I had a
lot of machines which worked without problems, but since last three
weeks there are bad starting errors. The updates from gentoo (stable)
are not tested enough, i think.

I red something about (hmm, it was baselayout (?)), that the startup
scripts are now working more accurate, which means, if the startup
scripts has errors, it starts with error output etc. But, i have some
stupid scripts, which returns nothing and they are not starting at
bootup anymore.

One of the biggest problem is,that you can see this errors only, if you
in front of the monitor, they will not be logged in syslog or something
else. We have to find a way, to copy(!) the standard output to a small
ramdisk or starting syslog very early with network support or whatever.


Gentoo is a very nice distribution and i using it at work and home, but
please developer, please test more the updates, before putting it into
the main portage three. It makes gentoo more stable and i don't need to
be scary anymore, if new updates available.

Hm, 2 default gateways ... not relevant to your question but I would recommend

Could this be because the cards are working in promiscious mode?  Course if 
the NIC's are connected to a switch, the packets shouldnt be broadcast across 
all port's anyway.

What happens when you d/c eth0, do the pings still reply?

[gentoo-user] Does "xdirectfb" work?

[Alex]

Has anyone gotten xdirectfb to work in gentoo?

I find it compiles fine, but it only seems to install a very small part of
itself.

When I attempt to run startdfb (or startxfb, I forget now), it compains
about not finding xauth or xinit and I also find that those files don't
exist. (But I did see them compile).

I think the size of the installed files is under 1 meg, which doesn't make
sense since the xdirectfb source is about 30meg.

I posted a bug report a few weeks ago but not much has happened, and I
thought the problem might be due to me.


When I attempt to start directfb with the usual xfree server installed,
the contents of all windows are garbled. (Although the background and
mouse pointer look fine).

[gentoo-user] weirness with nessus ebuild

I was having some problems with nessus, so I unemerged it.  Now, when I
go to emerge it again, I see this..

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] net-analyzer/nessus-core-2.0.6a-r1  +tcpd +X +gtk +gtk2
[ebuild  N   ] net-analyzer/nessus-core-2.0.6a  +tcpd +X +gtk +gtk2
[ebuild  N   ] net-analyzer/nessus-plugins-2.0.6a
[ebuild  N   ] net-analyzer/nessus-2.0.6a-r1

Notice that it wants to emerge two versions of nessus-core.  This
doesn't seem right.

This is probably not the most elegant solution, but here it is anyway:

Re: [gentoo-user] filename.tar failing to untar

[Steven]

Thanks Nathan and Blake:

No I didn't ftp the file. I did transfer it from harddisk to a Jaz drive via
the 'cp' command though. Then, when I attempted to copy it back to
the hard disk following a operating system reinstall, I discovered that
the latest backup file returned those errors and failed to untar. This left
me with no other choice but to keep trying older and older files until I
found one that did work, but not without losing a significant / expensive
amount of work... :-(

Here's the output of the 'tar tvf filename.tar':
...
drwxrwxrwx root/root 0 2003-03-18 14:28:35 DP/

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#

The strange thing about this is that the filesize is consistant with a full
backup, so it's not as though the tar command failed to concatenate the
full set of files???

I'd sure like to get this recovered. It doesn't make our choice to run
Linux look very good when stuff like this happens... :-(

Im not sure whether I've understood your problem correctly. My
understanding is that when you connect using dialup, the net hangs..

Suggestion:
-connect using dialup
-check whether you can ping your gateway.
-check whether you can ping your dns servers.
-make sure that your dns servers are listed in /etc/resolv.conf
-try to resolv domain names. (use dig, dnsip or similar)

Does this work?

Is the "problem" only occuring when doing rsync or ftp? If so; are you
using a firewall with different settings for pppX and ethX ?

[gentoo-user] slocate in zope group???

[Denys Duchier]

I just noticed something quite strange: /var/lib/slocate is now in
group zope-2_6_1.  So I checked /usr/bin/slocate and it is now also in
group zope-2_6_1.  Unless I am mistaken, it should be in group
slocate.  I installed zope and plone very recently, so there must be a
connection, but I can't figure it out.  The slocate group is still
there in my /etc/group file.  groups slocate and zope-2_6_1 have
distinct gids.  I can create files and put them in group slocate and
they show up as in group slocate.  So, how did /usr/bin/slocate end up
in group zope-2_6_1?

I can fix it, obviously, but I'd like to understand what happened.

Did I do something wrong? and what could it possibly be?
or is this an ebuild bug (what ebuild and what bug?)

I'd really appreciate if anyone could throw some light on this rather
puzzling situation.

Hello Wes,

This doesn't exactly answer the question you're asking, but do you know
about virtual IP addresses? You can assign as many addresses as you
want to a single card, and achieve with one card what you're trying to
do with two.

If you define a device called eth0.0 and set it up like any other ethernet
card (in /etc/conf.d/net and /etc/init.d/), it'll share the eth0 interface
but listen at its own address.

[gentoo-user] kernel-2.6.0 makes some funny things

[Meka[ni]]

First of all my scroll on mouse doesn't work. I have two kernels on my system 
(the first one is 2.4.20) and with old kernel it works fine (so it's not 
configuration of X or hardware problem). I've have psmouse and mousedev 
compiled and loaded as modules. Do I need something else?
Second problem is PC speaker. I have no sound from it with new kernel. Do I 
miss some modules? Thanx and keep hacking. :o)

[gentoo-user] routing slow[?]

[Gëzim]

Hi,
Just recently, I got a router and connected only one
pc to it (my gentoo). I have noticed though, when
browsing it take longer (about 10 secs) to browse
sites. Do I just have to except this a part of my
networking life, or is there something I did wrong? 
Also could it be privoxy?  
Note: I have ADSL.

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] multiple ethernet cards

[wes chow]

I've been playing with a multiple ethernet card configuration.  There's a
lot of info online about how to deal with routing tables, *if the cards
are on different networks*.  What I'm curious about is if I hook the two
cards up to the same switch, with different IP addresses.  I'd like to be
able to write servers that bind to the different addresses but run on 
the same machine.

Problem is, I can't get it to work.  Here's ifconfig's output:

eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:6E:3D:F2:B0  
  inet addr:192.168.0.2  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

  TX packets:168729 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:168376
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
  RX bytes:40815289 (38.9 Mb)  TX bytes:115947325 (110.5 Mb)
  Interrupt:10 Memory:ee00-ee001080 

eth1  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:BF:05:13:5F  
  inet addr:192.168.0.10  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
  RX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
  TX packets:4 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
  collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
  RX bytes:3087 (3.0 Kb)  TX bytes:240 (240.0 b)
  Interrupt:9 Base address:0x7000 


My routing table, though I don't think it matters:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
192.168.0.0 *   255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth0
192.168.0.0 *   255.255.255.0   U 0  00 eth1
loopbacklocalhost   255.0.0.0   UG0  00 lo
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG1  00 eth0


The computer with two ethernet cards is called milhouse, and a seperate
machine on the network is boris.

Now, when I ping 192.168.0.10 from boris, I only see eth0's light blink.  
I can completely disconnect eth1 and it still works.

"ip neigh show"'s output:

boris root # ip neigh show
192.168.0.2 dev eth0 lladdr 00:0c:6e:3d:f2:b0 nud reachable
192.168.0.10 dev eth0 lladdr 00:0c:6e:3d:f2:b0 nud reachable

It shows that it thinks 192.168.0.10 belongs to eth0 of milhouse (based on
the MAC address).  How do I get milhouse to accept traffic to 192.168.0.10
only on eth1?  Is this possible at all?

Thanks for any info or links...

Re: [gentoo-user] my first alsa install: segfault?

[daniel]

and it continues

the following has not worked:

recompiling my kernel, then recompiling alsa-driver
recompiling alsa-driver with CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe"
recompiling my kernel with acpi and the above flags for alsa-driver
a bios upgrade + any of the above.

so, i'm now running the latest version of the bios and i still have nothing...  
but i _did_ find this link:

  http://lists.insecure.org/lists/linux-kernel/2003/Jun/4562.html

which implies that i might be able to solve my problem by compiling my kernel 
*with* framepointers...  so what does that mean?  i tried recompiling my 
kernel after removing "-fomit-frame-pointers" from my make.conf, but that 
didn't work, and a grep -ir "framepointer" /usr/src/linux gives me nothing...  
so how am i supposed to do as the link suggests?

help!  please!  i can't work without my tunes!

You really should use galeon-cvs from breakmygentoo until the next

[gentoo-user] galeon need mozilla-1.3-r2?

[Shane Hickey]

Howdy all,
Ever since mozilla-1.4 came out, I've been having problems trying to
emerge -vuUD world.  It seemed that galeon only wanted to play with
mozilla 1.3.  I thought it was perhaps a problem with the 1.2.10a
version of galeon (Which doesn't do gtk2).  So, I removed the galeon
mask from packages.mask and I unmerged both mozilla and galeon.
Now, starting from a somewhat clean slate, I get this when I try to do
an emerge -vp galeon

[ebuild  N   ] net-www/mozilla-1.3-r2  +java +crypt -ipv6 +gtk2 +ssl
+ldap -gnome -mozsvg -mozcalendar -mozaccess -mozinterfaceinfo -mozp3p
-mozxmlterm -moznoirc -moznomail -moznocompose -moznoxft
[ebuild  N   ] net-www/galeon-1.3.4

Hmm... still galeon just wants mozilla 1.3.  So, I'm still going to have
my emerge world want to take me to 1.4 and then it's going to want to go
back to 1.3 for galeon.  Am I overlooking something obvious?  What's the
fix here?

"Experimental" but working solution:

Check out "effecttester" from kde-cvs, directory kdenonbeta/arts. Let your 
player output through aRts and use effecttester to add The 
Synth_STEREO_COMPRESSOR to the master effect-chain. With this you can reduce 
the dynamics of your dvd's very comfortably.

Or wait for kde3.2 where this effectloading will be done via GUI. ;-)

Hello:

I've been searching high and low for any information that might help me
restore from a backup tar file that is being difficult for some reason.

The file is just your basic tar file without any compression.

Here is the command I'm typing:

tar xvf 2003-07-17.tar

And here is the last few lines from the result:
...
/DP/
/DP/PDEF.DP00
/DP/PDEF.DP01
/DP/RDEF.DP01
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#

Here is the version of tar we are running:
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25

The filesize of the backup file is consistant with the other files that have
worked fine.

Does anyone know what options I have? Is there some way to look into
the file to see what may be wrong?

Thanks so much in advance,

Steven

What if someone wants apache1 and apache2 installed simultaneously? Then the

[gentoo-user] emerge -e world question

[Shawn]

Is there a way to rebuild world and cause the USE flags from
/var/db/pkg///USE to be used instead of the ones from
/etc/make.conf?

It's just that some flags like gtk2 break certain packages, and things
like "breakme" are so transient it's easy to lose them if one were to
emerge -e world.

Ideas?

[gentoo-user] Can't login to webmin

[Mike Diehl (Encrypted email prefer red)]

Hi all.

I just installed Gentoo on a machine and emerge'd webmin.  I only have one 
username on the machine, root, but I can't seem to get logged in.  I've tried 
the password many times, so I know I'm typing it in right.

Any ideas?

Mike Diehl.

[gentoo-user] filename.tar failing to untar

[Steven]

Hello:

I've been searching high and low for any information that might help me
restore from a backup tar file that is being difficult for some reason.

The file is just your basic tar file without any compression.

Here is the command I'm typing:

tar xvf 2003-07-17.tar

And here is the last few lines from the result:
...
/DP/
/DP/PDEF.DP00
/DP/PDEF.DP01
/DP/RDEF.DP01
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#

Here is the version of tar we are running:
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25

The filesize of the backup file is consistant with the other files that have
worked fine.

Does anyone know what options I have? Is there some way to look into
the file to see what may be wrong?

Thanks so much in advance,

Steven

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: upgrading the kernel

[Shawn]

And NEVER just tell someone to copy .config around between major kernel
versions.

CONFIG_* stuff gets renamed, and I suspect one might even have virtualt
terminal stuff missing.

[gentoo-user] root-tail or the likes

[Aaron Stout]

Hi.

Has anyone been able to get root-tail or some such program to work under gnome2 ? The 
application will not draw to the screen. (Or it is in fact drawing just placed behind 
the main window) I suspect it has something to do with nautilus controlling the 
screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Re: [gentoo-user] OpenOffice and X hang

Have you any options in the Device section in XF86Config like

only NVAgp

What is its value ?
I had also the RenderAccel set to True and I think it was a mistake so 
I've removed it and now, it seems to work better.

 

I saw, in an NVidia forum about Linux, the same problem reported by 
other people.

I have done this on a pentium 133 laptop with a 1.4G harddrive.

I installed gentoo on it. First the basic system(stage3), then mounted 
/var/portage and /usr/portage/distfiles over nfs, then emerged X

1.4G was too little for large builds like X, hence the mounting over nfs.

I also installed distcc, because compiling all of it on the laptop is just too 
painful :-) More specifically, I didn't *let* the laptop do any compiling, it 
wouldn't have made a difference. I had a couple of desktop athlon's to help 
out, and they did a great job.

Configuring your desktop system to accept xdcmp request isn't very difficult, 
there's loads of docs around, just ask if you have a specific problem.

My laptop can now run as an xterminal, but also has a light wm installed on it 
locally. My experience: Use it as an Xterminal whenever possible. It's heaps 
faster.

Again, no. All you should have to do:

Tried that. Cannot even get a connection to the internet with
CAPI/ISDN. "killall pppd" doesn't even give an error when no pppd is
running (instead of "no process killed" when acpi is enabled).

am running are (everything is up-to-date x86, NOT ~x86):

- exim
- mailman
- courier-imapd
- apache2
- php4
- mysql
- nfs

If you have upgraded and are running any of these things, could you please

Hey there,

I assume you have two net interfaces on the gentoo box? Do you get full
speed on both interfaces from the gentoo box itself? Looking at your
config, I would suggest first trying kernel option pci=noacpi. There seems
to be a few problems with acpi still. With my modem, if I don't use
pci=noacpi I also get about 1/2 the full speed. If that doesn't work, try
getting rid of apic as well - you have a single processor, right? If that
doesn't fix, I can't help any further. Good luck!

At least one person on this list reported that this broke qmail.
There could be other packages not unmasked, that could break as well.
Approach with caution.
