Re: [gentoo-user] emerge mask issue: I checked emerge info
The people telling you that ACCEPT_KEYWORDS should be just ~x86 are wrong. Had they bothered to look on their own systems they'd see that they have both also (assuming they run unstable). If you had only ~x86, you wouldn't be able to install stable packages. Settings in make.conf are cumulative to settings in make.globals and the make.profile files. Oh, and wrt your original question, it's hardmasked in package.mask just like people have been telling you. If you emerge the ebuild manually it'll at least try to install, but you should probably find out why it was hardmasked first. -Heschi > but . . but > from my > make.conf i have > > .. > . > . > # '~ppc', '~sparc' are the unstable KEYWORDS for their respective platforms. > # DO NOT PUT ANYTHING BUT YOUR SPECIFIC ~ARCHITECTURE IN THE LIST. > # IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ARCH, OR THE IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT MODIFY THIS. > # > #ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" > ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" > > # Portage Directories > # === > # -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Automatic perl packages, emerged from CPAN?
Hey all. I've been wondering about this, is there some way for me to build the various perl modules using emerge, but getting them directly from CPAN?

While they are named equivalently to, and built on the CPAN modules, they aren't built from CPAN "live", like the dh-make-perl for Debian does. Also, as not every CPAN module has an ebuild available on the portage tree, you're limited to those that are already configured, and if you're unable to configure your own you're kinda screwed. I'm looking into that g-cpan.pl thing that Heschi Kreinick mentioned in the other reply to my question, maybe that'll do what I'm looking for. I found it a VERY useful part of debian, because I'd never have to worry about my CPAN installs and my apt installs stepping on each other's toes, they were effectivly merged into one system, and would work together very well. Here is a forum message talking about it, but it says: "There was a tool in Gentoo called g-cpan.pl that was great at getting this started, but never really got anywhere." http://forums.zynot.org/viewtopic.php?t=245 I didn't realise it was included as part of the distro itself, actually. *blush* I'm testing it out to see how it works. I hope whatever processes that are keeping it out of the mainstream lighten up, a tool like this needs to be on display, cause it's awesome! Hrm, I see some issues with it, if an ebuild already exists it just tells you it exists, it doesn't install it for you. It also doesn't update existing ebuilds, like the CPAN module itself. The CPAN interface tells me a newer version exists on CPAN, but g-cpan just says: "Module already installed for 'CPAN'" I'll keep doing my experiments with it, at least I can use it to install non-ebuilded PERL modules.

As an example, one month ago or so, I emerged xmame, and the executable "xmame" ended up in /usr/bin/xmame. After some time, an "emerge -up world" told me that a new version was out, so I emerged it. This time the executable was installed in /usr/games/bin, and so I had to reconfigure the graphical frontend to point to the right path. I was expecting that, if the files of some package reside in a certain set of directories (although I don't know how these are determined), subsequent updates of the package would follow the old paths, but that's not the case, AFAICS. Where are these installation paths stored, or how are they determined? The ebuild script for xmame itself references two variables, $GAMES_DATADIR and $GAMES_BINDIR, but I haven't been able to find where they are defined (of course, the question is more general than this specific case). Another question: how can one find out what package a given file belongs to? I mean, even if the package is not installed. This happen to me rather often, when some programs tells me that it needs the program "foo", and I have to figure out what package contains "foo", so I can emerge it.

According to Gentoo.org, that's not necessarily Gentoo's best feature: "Larry the Cow was a bit frustrated with Linux. The latest distros seemed to be just a bunch of the same old stuff. Nothing new - nothing innovative. Then Larry tried Gentoo Linux. He was impressed. He found a BSD-style ports system witch a bunch of advanced features. He discovered lots of up-to-date packages that could be auto-built using the optimization settings and build-time functionality that he wanted, rather than what some distro creator thought would be best for him. All of the sudden, Larry the Cow was in control. And he liked it." DebToo has: BSD-style ports system? No, but apt is close (handling dependancies). Apt-build is closer (handling dependancies and building from source). I'd rather not recompile _everything_, so I usually use packages even on BSD. DebToo will give the user the option not to compile if he/she desires. Lots of up-to-date packages? Yep. Debian "unstable" (quite stable for me, thank-you) is very current. Not as current as Gentoo, but certainly more current than, say, RedHat or Mandrake. As an ex-RedHat user, it's impressive. Auto-built using optimization settings and build-time functionality that I want? Yep. Apt-build supports extra compile-time options. To answer your question: USE flags? No, but apt handles dependancies, and I've never installed more bloat than I wanted with Debian.. the minimum install is tiny; I don't use Gnome and it didn't get installed for my Gnome apps. Close enough. Something you didn't mention: Gentoo lets the user install multiple versions of one app. AFAIK this isn't possible with Debian/DebToo; the user that needs this might want to investigate Gentoo. I will point him/her at Gentoo.org and ask them to have a nice day. A DebToo user will only need to recompile what he/she wants. Even BSD gives you this option with its packages. A DebToo user might like the way Debian does things; I do. For instance, I like having 20,000 packages* and very good RPM compatibility with alien. I like other things Debian does, and perhaps a new DebToo convert will, too. * Rough guess, counting the "official" 9000 packages + countless thousands of "unofficial" user-contributed packages. There are some things Gentoo does better, I will quickly admit this. Nonetheless, DebToo will be quite good at what it does, and offers some things Gentoo can't. Use what you like.

If so, how can one change these?
ie, doing something similar to passing "prefix=/something" to the
configure
scripts? How can the user choose where to install some package (if
it's
possible at all, of course).
I dont think it is possible. If you look in the xmame-0.72.1 ebuild,
you'll see that it configures using the ${GAMES_BINDIR} and
${GAMES_DATADIR}, which are (as far as i know) fairly new to portage.
The new ebuild takes advantage of keeping all the game files relatively
together in /usr/games, wheras the old one just threw it in with
everything else.
By default, portage installs everything in /usr, which is proper for a
package management system. There are a few ebuilds (openoffice, quake
3, nwn, and blackdown java off the top of my head) that install to
nonstandard locations.

A quick look at the man page shows that qpkg -f only finds files
belonging to
INSTALLED packages. To query uninstalled packages the -U flag is used,
but -f
and -U are incompatible. Any other suggestion?
Portage doesnt know what files the package contains until you build and
install the package. You could open the ebuild in vim, or your
favourite text editor and have a look around:
cd /usr/portage; ls
You should be able to find your way around, possibly with the help of
"emerge -s"

[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild alternatives?

[gentoo-user] Install Help - Gentoo Load Fails at modules.conf.
Hello all. I've felt my way through the install process for Gentoo for my first time and everything seemed to work out... but I seem to have missed something, somewhere. :( When the OS attempts to load, I get an error when trying to mount the filesystem. The system can not find "modules.conf" (it is, infact, *not* there). It complains about that a few more times and then pops up this message: If the partition table has not be changed, and the partition is valid and it really contains a reiserfs partition, then the superblock is corrupted and you need to run --rebuild-sb. My root parition is ReiserFS (boot is ext3). I finally get an error message: Warning... fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/ROOT exited with signal 6. * Filesystem couldn't be fixed :( I'm then asked for the root password, so I can try and repair something I don't know how I broke in the first place. Could anyone please help me out to get my system to boot? This is my first attempt at Gentoo, and I'm a bit confused as to what I should even be looking for right now. Thank you for any help!!

On Tuesday, 26 August 2003, at 19:45PM, Meph Istopheles wrote: Morning Stroller, Now, I've been using DiskDruid for partitioning when I set up, & have used fdisk countless times on different drives for partitioning, but never during setup... Drive partitioning & mounting is something that Gentoo doesn't believe in doing automagically for you. Sounds good. I wonder though, does Stage 3 install offer a screen for editing fstab? Erm... when I last installed one used a text editor, `nano -w /etc/fstab`. I believe vi is also now included on the install CDs. Code listing 7.2 shows how to mount a typical simple partition layout from _within_ the InstallCD chroot. Ah, chroot. I've only used this during rescue operations with RH. It'll be odd having to do this as a part of install, but that's cool. Let's edit this for your system (for the df -h above, not your proposed changes, because it's too early in the morning for me to absorb those right now): # mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/gentoo # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/home # mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/gentoo/home # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/backup # mount /dev/hdb2 /mnt/gentoo/backup # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/backup2 # mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/gentoo/backup2 This is something which caught my eye when I was skimming the docs: /mnt/gentoo. Is this a system thing, or is there a time one will actually be editing docs & have to remember that /mnt/gentoo... is required as opposed to /, which is all I've done with RH, slack & FreeBSD? I think someone else already answered this, but I can't find it, so excuse me if I'm reiterating: These directories are created _inside the InstallCD environment_ which is a Unix filesystem on a CD-ROM. /mnt/gentoo is relative only to _this_ filesystem, and not to your root hard-disk. Once you chroot into /mnt/gentoo /dev/hda2 becomes /, /mnt/gentoo/boot becomes /boot and so on. This is just as it is when you boot up the system for the first time.

First off, what sort of hardware do you have? (mb type, chipset, cpu, speed). Do you have enough cooling? Are you overclocking? I had some ugly freezes when I put in a A7N8X (asus nforce2 based MB) due to lack of support. However, I've been running ac-sources for a while with 0 problems. Another thing to look at is bad ram. emerge memtest86 and let that run overnight and see if any errors crop up with your memory. Another possible problem. Personally the two things I've seen that cause linux to crash is are: - unsupported or partially supported hardware - bad hardware What kernel are you running? Maybe try the vanilla or a "newer" (ie: ac-sources or gaming-sources) and see if maybe it has support for the hardware that might be causing the problems. Run another OS for a while (blashphemy I know) if it's a dual boot box and see if you have the same problems. Download a Knoppix ISO image and burn that and boot with it and run it for a while to see if you have the same problems.

I've dealt with random freezes due to badly supported hardware - driver bugs - for IDE controllers and SCSI controllers. Grabbing newer sources is one good test. Another is using the NMI watchdog, which can help you understand the crashes and identify which driver may be at fault. Info on the NMI watchdog can be found in: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/nmi_watchdog.txt It's extremely useful, but only if you're either not running X or using an external serial console - so you can see its output.

I have an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe with 512 MB of RAM 400 MHz and an Athlon XP 2400+ (nforce2 based) with a Geforce FX 5200 video card (but I used the xfree driver for a lot of time and the freezes didn't stop). The freezes reduced on frecuency when I changed the ram, but as the other ram was slower, I had to run as if I had an Athlon XP 1800+ (only one freeze in days while now, I have about 1 or 2 freezes per day).

[gentoo-user] which kernel (for nvidia)?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello people... I posted about having freezes in my computer... I have an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe motherboard (nForce2 based) and an Asus Geforce FX 5200 Video card. What kernel do you recomend (you used with same or similar hardware) to get the best results ? vanilla ? ac- ? I'm currently using nvidia's drivers for the A7N8X-Deluxe and nforce drivers for audio and net (this is really really needed) as well as I patched my kernel for nVidia's AGP (the patch is distributed with the nforce driver, for agpgart, I think the patch is 2.4.20 only).

The "standard" tests will not catch all memory errors, as I found out on another system a while back. If you did not run memtest86 using all tests, run memtest86 through at least one pass of all tests. IMHO, running memtest86 through at least one test should be enough to prove the memory is good or bad. Also, before you stop memtest86, watch it for a bit to make sure it is doing screen updates. My system halted a couple of times during memory testing but it did not indicate it halted. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If you have an extra machine, you can use it as a serial console. Just connect the serial ports together using a null modem cable. You can even log the output doing it this way. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I don't know of a way to send the watchdog's output anywhere other than the console - maybe someone else on the list does. The NMI watchdog doesn't depend on any OS services (as indeed it must not), so writing its results to disk isn't possible, AFAIK. Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm sorry I don't remember the exact syntax under Gentoo (I'm at a RedHat computer right now), but it involves the /etc/init.d/net.eth0 file (or net.eth1, net.eth2, whatever your card is). Briefly, what you do is tell Gentoo that when it activates this network card, it should get its ip via DHCP (I imagine you already have this set up). But you also designate an alias, which can be any ip you choose, although obviously you should probably make it an ip unlikely to be given out by your DHCP server). For a concrete example, suppose your DHCP server gives your laptop, names "marvin," an address somewhere the 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199 range. Then you would designate an alias ip of 192.168.0.240 in marvin's /etc/init.d/net.eth0, and put this line in the /etc/hosts files of your other computers: 192.168.0.240 marvin Then, no matter what ip your DHCP server happens to hand out, your other computers can find marvin.

RE: [gentoo-user] Printing to CUPS from another linux computer
OK, I've had partial success. As it turns out (after a four hour power outage due to some heavy storms in the area), the was set to Deny all and then Allow all, in that order. After I'd changed that, I was able to print from one computer to the print server, but only using the kde-print manager, as was suggested. However, as said, I don't use kde, and I don't want to depend on that. There has to be a way to just foomatic my way to the other computer. But alas, I haven't found one yet. How would I set up the "-c" part of the foomatic statement? lpd? http? ipp? Now that I know my printserver is reachable, I know it can be done, just not exactly how...
