[gentoo-user] advice regarding LVM needed
Hi! Recently I bought Gentoo 1.4 and installed it on my 2nd HD's free space (WD - 80G) wanting to have a slow transition from SuSE to Gentoo (to keep old mail, news ..). I emerged binary packages of X & KDE and then started to slowly emerge other components. However, three days ago, my old HD (IBM) started to *die* and I can clearly hear the sounds of imminent death. Now I bought a new HD - 120 G while my /home partition is on WD (together with Gentoo install.) Today I'm going to trash my old IBM HD (together with SuSE :-) and install a new one, so I'm thinking about LVM install. Do you recommend it for two HDs (120G & 80G) install on home machine? (the 80G HD I'd like to use mostly for future video-editing and I'm used to have Reiser fs on my partitions - except /boot.) In Gentoo's LVM docs it is recommended NOT to put /etc /lib /mnt /proc /sbin /dev /root in LVM partition. Any hint?

It seems to me that directory is just acting like a sort of portage cache in case you have to re-emerge some package, to avoid re-downloading it. I was also going to ask this...can everything in /usr/portage/distfiles be safely removed (assuming I can re-download a package in case of need)? Thanks Davide -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] How-to trouble shoot emerge/ebuild error messages...
My first question is: 1> Does someone have a standard operating proceedure for on how to troubleshoot package compilation errors to get the most info possible to pass along to the list and/or Gentoo Forums? 2>Is there a log that is kept somewhere in Gentoo when a package fails with errors?

But allot of others failed as well because when I do a "emerge -uDp world" it keeps listing the same files that fail continously when I try "emerge -uD world"...

Isn't 1024 a hard limit? Especially if you use select() you have to use a fixed size bitfield, which is IIRC 1024 bits long.

From the installation guide:
Note: A complete Gentoo Linux 2-CD set contains the Gentoo Reference Platform,
which is a complete pre-built Gentoo Linux system including GNOME, KDE,
Mozilla and OpenOffice. The Gentoo Reference Platform ("GRP") was created to
allow rapid Gentoo Linux package installations for those who need this
capability. The "compile from source" functionality, which is the cornerstone
of Gentoo Linux, will always be a fully-supported installation option as
well. The purpose of the GRP is to make Gentoo Linux more convenient for some
users, without impacting Gentoo's powerful "compile from source" installation
process in any way.

Somehow I missed that option :-) Always associated bugzilla with gentoo-related or even program-related bugs rather than administrative stuff although I knew that it is actually for everything.

At first you have to compile the kernel sources. make a symbolic link /usr/src/linux to the new sources: ln -s /usr/src/ /usr/src/linux then go to /usr/src/linux # make menuconfig Configure your kernel, save the config then # make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install When everything is ok, the new kernel can be found : /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage #mount /boot and copy bzImage to /boot you can rename it if you like so that you don't overwrite an existing bzImage then add this image to lilo.conf (and run lilo) so you can choose it when booting.

Odds are good that you have the many debugging options turned on. That one appears to be from Debug memory allocations (CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB), Page alloc debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC), or Sleep-inside-spinlock checking (CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP). Do not report these to the kernel developers because they will tell you to contact nvidia (and maybe a few other colorful things as well).

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Stats
Anyone know whats going on with gentoo-stats. I just finished building my system and everything seems to work, but when I type: gentoo-stats --new I receive the following error Obtaining new system ID...There was an error when obtaining a new system ID (proxy?).Please try again later.

[gentoo-user] Cups & Epson Stylus Photo 870
Hi there! I have heavy problems getting cups to operate with my Epson Stylus photo 870 printer. The first problem is, that it alwyas says "Media tray empty!", although there's enough paper in the tray. The status flags are 0x18 (returned by LPGETSTATUS) in the normal case (i.e. printer ready, enough paper), and cups interprets this as "No paper" and "Printer Error". So I commented out the lines checking the status in cups's source for the usb-driver (backend/usb.c). But this cannot be the solution to this problem. And the second one is that it calls ghostscript with some driver it does not support. According to the log, it calls gs with "-sDEVICE=stp", but gs does not have this driver compiled in.

Ok, answering to myself: looks as if I was wrong about the speed bottleneck in fixpackages. The uncompress/recompress is not the thing that takes most of the time, it seems to be the fact that the actual changing is done in a shellscript and the launch of about 2 dozen processes for each .tbz2/update-entry combination kills the performance.

Thanks for taking the time to respond Marius. Your explanation is fine.. Its just hard to know what, if anything, to do when I get a message like the one that I posted. I meanif there's nothing for me to do then it would be nice not to see messages like that in the first place.

No profile directory; syetem mode unavailiable This sounds like you either missed the following from Step 8: # tar -xvjf /mnt/cdrom/snapshots/portage-mmdd.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr or something went wrong with the stage3 tarball extraction and your missing a symlink at /etc/make.profile.

Yours is a little beefier than mine but its very compairable. Ok, I'll try to explain it: portage stores information about the package names and categories for dependencies in the .tbz2 files. Now if a package has moved in the tree (like the recent app-games -> games-* split) this information can become incorrect and should be updated. A little example what could happen if it is not updated: - you have a .tbz2 package for package foo, which has a dependency on app-misc/bar - package app-misc/bar is moved to net-misc/bar in the tree - you try to install foo with your .tbz2 package, portage looks for app-misc/bar (because the .tbz2 wasn't updated), can't find it because it was moved and aborts the installation Now the fact that fixpackages is so slow is because to update this information the .tbz2 needs to be uncompressed, then the information can be updated and then it needs to be recompressed. This takes some time for 1 or 2 GB of data. I'm currently trying to optimize the code a bit, but I think for a dramatic improvement we would have to drop the current .tbz2 format (so we can save the uncompress-recompress steps) itself which is unlikely to happen anytime soon. > I've alwasy gotten this: > Cannot update binary: > Destination exists: > !!! app-admin/gentoolkit-0.1.30 -> app-portage/gentoolkit-0.1.30 > -Unquote This happens if the package name already has been updated, but there is probably more to fix in the dependency information.

Hi, anyone seen this? I was trying to emerge php-4.3.3-r1 but it failed on configure: checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... no configure: error: libjpeg not found! !!! ERROR: dev-php/php-4.3.3-r1 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 324, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed I also tried it with USE="-jpeg" but even then it failed with the same error... Then I found that it had to do with blackdown-jdk-1.4.1: a libjpeg.so is located in /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386, this path is set with -L so ld will use this instead of the correct libjepeg.so in /usr/lib. compiling with USE="-java" works. For me that is ok but I can imagine that it is not so for others. Renaming /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/libjpeg.so while compiling will probably also work but it is not the right solution.

Perhaps you did not include support for the filesystem(s) in the kernel --Kees -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] lilo and upgraded world
I think I found it. Somehow I put the wrong type of fs support for reiserfs I compiled as M instead of *.

[gentoo-user] Evolution and Palm sync
Hi, I'm trying to sync my palm with evolution. I can sync with jpilot without any problem. But it won't work with evolution. I have installed gpilot, placed the gpilotd-applet on the gnome-panel and pressed the sync button on the palm cradle. The settings of gpilot are the same as jpilot. What am i doing wrong?

Re: [gentoo-user] currupt icons in nautilus from gnome 2.4 ~x86
I had something similar to that in the latest Evolution. Fix was to turn off RenderAccel in the nvidia drivers.
