[gentoo-user] More problems installing gentoo

[riki]

I've been struggling with this for several days now, and I appeared to 
be making progress until recently.

First off, let me just say that many, many of the files I needed to 
download to get to this state had disappeared from the expected 
directory. So my build would halt until I could find a copy online, and 
download it to my computer.

Now, I've finally gotten everything installed, I've built the kernel 
using gentoo-sources and genkernel,  I set up the bootloader...

And now it's kernel panicking...

Any suggestions?

that sounds  about right, also try restaring hotplug if it sometimes
doesn't pick up on you plugging in the cam.

For me this bug has appeared on nvidia drivers as long as I can
remember, and I did start using nvidia in version 0.9-something. The
bug occasionally changes from displaying textual carbage to graphical
garbage, and it occasionally locks up keyboard as well. Last time I
asked about it someone informed me it was a thing with Via's AGP system
or something similar which will probably never be fixed, I don't know
though if there are similar bugs appearing on other hardware as well.

I went back and checked my settings, and it is built in to the kernel('*'
instead of 'M').  Still no luck.  I tried a modprobe on it and it just
spewed errors from insmod.  I can post them if necessary.

I have just built a 2.6 kernel and will try that.  I heard whispers (on a
Debian list) of the tulip driver being broken for kernel 2.4.2x (I don't
remember the actual minor version number).

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [normal] [gentoo-user] USB camera - almost

[Jakub Krajcovic]

yes, you have to have scsi disk support enabled (module or directly
enabled in the kernel). When you plug in the camera (given taht it
*really* supports usb mass storage), wait for a couple of seconds, and
then just type # mount -t vfat (auto) /dev/sda1 /mnt/your_mount_point.

Yeah and one more thing. I think that you also have to have vfat
(fat32) filesystem support enabled in the kernel. i know that i had to
recompile my kernel because of this when i got my digital camera.

I'm not set on gphoto, I just thought it might be a quick and dirty

direct.

I tried your suggest of direct mounting, but couldn't guess what it would show up as.
Something scsi, maybe, like /dev/sda? Never appeared tho?

Correct, if you're using gcc 3.3.x (which is still in ~arch) - with gcc 3.2.x
(which is in arch), things will break badly.

Didn't expect this, but if you're ~arch definitly worth a try :-)

I need to disagree. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 (Pentium 4 1.8
Ghz), and originally I installed Gentoo with pentium3 (because of the
warning in make.conf). Months later, reading the forums and the mailing
list, several people commented that the pentium4 flag was not dangerous
at all. So I recompiled everything again using pentium4.

My system has no problems since then and, more importantly, it feels
much more faster and based in timings to compile big packages, it's
actually faster (so is not only in my head; genlop -t shows significant
improvement when compiling).

Hello all,
	I'm trying to get samba working with my Win2k3 Domain controller. I've 
followed the directions in the "Documentation Tips and Tricks" part of 
the gentoo forums, but no matter what I do I always get prompted for my 
password when I try to browse my linux machine from my domain 
controller. The only thing I can think of that is causing this is 
kerberos.  The machine gets added to the domain fine.  When i try to run
"/etc/init.d/krb5kdc start" it comes up with this error:

 * Starting MIT Kerberos 5 KDC...
krb5kdc: cannot initialize realm .COM - see log file for details
 * Error starting MIT Kerberos 5 KDC

And when i look in the log file this shows:

Re: [gentoo-user] Nvidia-kernel 5336-r1

[Jakub Krajcovic]

I'm runninng the 2.6.1 (clean vanilla) and the 5536 nvidia drivers. the
driver is ok in terms of speed, i'd say that it is maybe a bit faster (i
can play warcraft 3 with wine in 1280x1024 - and i know that previously
i had issues with wine and game speed). 
But so far i found one HUGE bug, that really pisses me off - after
having the x server up for a while, my console (vt0-6) becomes
unreadable. I either have a black screen, or a black screen with a lot
of gasrbled ascii garbage.

I can't really say what causes this, because when i launch X, everuthing
is ok, it only happens after some time, probably has something to dio
with the apps i run under X - not sure, haven't been poking into it yet.

If anyone encountered this, could they pls confirm.

I know Gentoo is Linux and Linux has SMP support. As I stated, I run a dual-933 SMP 
system presently. But, how in the heck do you pick up 4CPUs with HyperThreading? I 
thought HT was a memory-specific technology, not CPU? And do you actually see any 
significant performance gains with your illusion of 4 CPUs? I wonder ...

Okay, okay ... well, like I said ... I run a dual-933 rig right now. I've been doing 
SMP for quite some time in Gentoo. Pretty proficient with it on a P3 platform. Just 
curious how things might be different with P4 Xeons. However, since the box here is 
built with -march=pentium3, docs say that will only work with PentiumIII system. Thus, 
the docs seem to intimate that Pentium4s will not work. Though, I can see how this 
could not necessarily be the case. But why wouldn't I want to change over to 
-march=pentium4 ?? Will this break things or something? Won't the programs be a bit

Pentium 4 CPUs (unless they have an M in them somewhere -- then it
gets screwy) can run Pentium III code. No need to rebuild the whole
system if you don't want to. Chances are you'll need a new kernel, but
that's all.

CFLAGS wise, -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=pentium4 should do.
If you have lots of cache (sorry, dunno the Xeon cores off the top of my
head), you might gain from -O3 under certain circumstances, although
we'll probably ask you to try -O2 and no -fomit-frame-pointer if you
submit any bugs like that :)

Gentoo is Linux, and Linux has had SMP support for donkeys years.
I do have 2 dual Xeon boxes at work, unfortunantly the company distro of 
choice is Suse. Luckily this choice is only for web platform boxes I don't 
admin (which the dual xeons are), the firewalls, mailservers, and other 
office bound servers are mine so run gentoo as I get time to reinstall them.
Getting back to the point, the dual Xeons perform nicely and due to HT the OS 
sees 4 CPU's.

Nope, just add SMP (and whatever other new hardware) support, and you are good

3. mount broken gentoo
4. copy glibc library from live CD to broken gentoo

it's plenty of files, but lot of them is not needed yet)

If you dont want email from cron just redirect the outpu to logger

If you want to use ssmtp just specify mailhub to a server that can
accept email through smtp. It can eaven be an open relay.

On my system:

$ file `which sendmail`
/usr/sbin/sendmail: symbolic link to `/usr/sbin/ssmtp'

Have you tried it? Yes, it uses port 25. It has to. That doesn't mean it
is sending it outside your local machine. Well, okay, it doesn't have to
use port 25 but that is the default. You could change it just look in
/etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf. The bottom line is sendmail/ssmtp doesn't have to
run as a daemon to _send_ mail, sinc it will be invoked by the mailx
program (or your mail client).

[gentoo-user] highmem & K7S5A

[Jonathan Nichols]

Hey all,
	I have an ECS K7S5A board and tried putting 2x512 DDR2100 DIMMS into 
the thing. It boots up, but I get an error in dmesg about only 896MB 
being available. So, following some instructions I found on 
forums.gentoo.org, I enabled highmem support (4gb) in the kernel and 
recompiled. From that moment on, I got nothing but kernel panic errors 
on start!
	The RAM tests just fine. I tossed in the memtest86 CD and let it run 
for 24 hours - not one single error. The same RAM works perfect in 
another box with the same board running Windows XP (I have 5 of these 
boards and haven't had a single problem so far - 1 board is in a linux 
box, but it only has 512mb RAM)
	I got the kernel panics to go away by removing highmem support, and 
putting 1x512 module and 1x256 module in the box instead. 768MB RAM 
isn't too bad, but I can't figure out why it was crashing. =/

I'm using gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5 on all of the machines.
Has anybody ever used one of these boards with 1gb RAM? =/

Not with the capture card that he has. MythTV requries 2 things to work

There were some complaint about the same file being missing several

[gentoo-user] Patching gentoo-dev-sources for Alsa 1.0.2

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   Has anyone accomplished this yet? It appears that gentoo-dev-sources
comes with Alsa-1.0.0rc2

bash-2.05b$ cat /proc/asound/version 
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.0rc2.
Compiled on Feb  1 2004 for kernel 2.6.1-gentoo.
bash-2.05b$ 

but I need to run 1.0.2. Does anyone know how to do this? 

Or is there possibly a different version of the kernel that has the most
up to date Alsa already in it?

I know with 1394, which has come with the kernel for a long time now,
you could download CVS and then just replace the drivers/ieee1394
directory and everything would work fine. However, Alsa looks much more
complicated.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Mark

[gentoo-user] couple of questions.. PAM & sysfs

[Aaron Walker]

Just installed 2.6 and NPTL on an old P233 that I am messing around
with, and had a couple of questions.

Firstly, when booting it says /sys does not exist and that 2.6 requires
it.  I figured the sysfs was setup automatically because I didnt have to
do it manually on all 3 of my other Gentoo 2.6 boxen.  What do I need to
do to create this manually?

I was following the Gentoo Security Guide and edited my
/etc/pam.d/passwd and sshd files exactly as specified in the guide, but
my sshd logfile is complaining about pam_pwdb.so not being found.

is the guide outdated or something? or is something not installed that
should be? pam is in the USE flags.  The only package it said to install
in that section was cracklib, which was installed during installation.

any ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron

Mind if I intrude? I run everything that I want in portage... And whatever I 
need outside of it. No errors or no problems. 

That includes: KDE 3.1.4, 3.2.0, XMMS, JUK, GCC latest version, GLIBC, latest

[gentoo-user] USB camera - almost

[Bill Witherspoon]

Hi folks,

Not quite a gentoo question, but I thought I'd see if anyone could give
me a hand (before I bug the gphoto folks).

I'm trying to connect a Canon S30 via USB to my box. It is detected on
plugging in, and unplugging (from /var/log/kernel/current):

Feb  1 12:16:36 [kernel] hub 2-0:1.0: new USB device on port 1, assigned
address 4
Feb  1 12:20:22 [kernel] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 4

but I am unable to to use gphoto2, output:

sh-2.05b# gphoto2 --summary
Detected a 'Canon:PowerShot S30'.   

*** Error ***  
Initial camera response I/'Unknown (some kind of error))' unrecognized)

For debugging messages, please use the --debug option.
Debugging messages may help finding a solution to your problem.
If you intend to send any error or debug messages to the gphoto
developer mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, please run
gphoto2 as follows:

env LANG=C gphoto2 --debug --summary

Please make sure there is sufficient quoting around the arguments.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Bill

On the desktop system, I use gads of stuff, including KDE, GNOME,
enlightenment (which is my primary window manager), OpenOffice, Abiword,
Gnumeric, gaim, evolution, samba, nfs, openldap, mysql, MozillaFirebird,
etc.

I'm running off of an nvidia card using the 4496 drivers, since they
seem to work better than the 5528 or 5532 drivers. I haven't tried the
5536 drivers yet.

On the internet system, it's a bit more stripped down, as it's a
headless box with more specific purposes, and is running stuff like
apache w/ssl,php,mod_perl, mysql, openldap, postfix, etc. 

As far as what I did when switching over to nptl in both cases, I first
booted from a 2.6 kernel. Then I added the nptl USE variable, and did an
emerge glibc. When that was done, I then did an emerge -e system. Then
as stuff broke, I recompiled it as well. Some of the more notable things
that I had to recompile were apache, mysql, php, and X (for the
desktop). In the case of X, it wasn't broken to the point of not
working, but it had become quite flaky. Since the recompile, it hasn't
given me any trouble.

Unfortunately, since I didn't run into any problems, I'm not very good
at offering any troubleshooting advice. :)

Hope this is the sort of thing you were looking for.

Cheers,

Sean

If by lightweight, he meant easy to get up and running "out of the box",
then Apache would still be a good candidate. It will serve up static
pages with the default config rather nicely.

I've done two NPTL installs so far, and haven't had any problems
whatsoever with glibc.  If you use X or svgalib, however, you will have
problems getting those to compile correctly.  Both of mine have been
server installs, so I haven't needed those packages.

In case anyone is feeling experimental (if not then you probably
shouldnt be messing with NPTL in the first place.. not yet anyways), I
installed w/NPTL by doing the following:

1) Boot LiveCD
2) Do normal install stuff until you get to the part where you need to
edit make.conf
3) Put nptl in the USE flags
4) Edit /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-headers/linux-headers-2.6.ebuild
and add you architecture to the KEYWORDS varibale after "-*", for
example KEYWORDS="-* x86"
5) Run /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh to start stage 1.
6) Add "~x86" to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in make.conf.  This is needed for NPTL.
7) continue install while crossing fingers.

HTH,
Aaron

I have not run across any problems, other than X and svgalib and mentioned above.  For a work around I used X version 4.3.99.902 and it compiled fine and seems rock stable.  As for svgalib, I used the -B flag on one of my stable machines and just installed the binary package that way.

I:
used 2.6 for some time
set the nptl use-flag
emerged 2.6 headers
let bootstrap-2.6 run
emerged XFree-4.3.99.903
emerged latest qt
emerged KDE-3.2-beta1 and beta2

and had to switch back to 2.4 headers yesterday, rebuild gcc&glibc, emerged 
Xfree 4.3, latest qt and KDE 3.2-rc1 because with the latest nvidia-drivers X 
did not want to start up, because of SIGFPE, and with earlier ones, I have to 
start X two times or reduce AGP to 4x.

Oh, I spent some time with nptl, but my system did not behave any 'better' 
than before.

Glück Auf,
Volker

There are patches for both of those applications that will allow them to 
compile cleanly. If you can wait a tad bit, there will probably be official 
fixes for them shortly

well, I had a big recompile session yesterday, because the latest 
nvidia-drivers&nptl refused to work.
Up to that moment, everything was very pleasant, but I did not see any 
differences  between nptl and non-nptl, so it was not too painful. (Well, 
glibc, gcc, X, qt, KDE complete.. I wasted a whole day... btw genlop is a 
real useful tool).

Oh, and I tried 2.6 kernels with and without preemption and my system seems a 
little more fluid without preemption...

not much.  but be careful when it comes to setting up dri.  i managed to get 
my tv working, but since  was using different drivers, i lost my dri, so 
there were separate instructions to make it work.  among which were "run this 
script and everything should just work(tm)".  not only did everything NOT 
"just work" but i had no idea how to fix what it did and had to unmerge X, 
manually delete the /usr/X11R6 directory and re-emerge everything just so i 
could get X back.

o
and if you figure out how to get video capture going and have something more

We use mini-httpd at work for our internal web server. It's very small, very 
lightweight and it's about the best one I've found for that kind of purpose.

Just curious.  So many reports about nptl/glibc problems, but you have
none.  What applications are you using?

I've been running 2.5/2.6 for six months with no problems, but no nptl.

I've done two NPTL installs so far, and haven't had any problems
whatsoever with glibc.  If you use X or svgalib, however, you will have
problems getting those to compile correctly.  Both of mine have been
server installs, so I haven't needed those packages.

In case anyone is feeling experimental (if not then you probably
shouldnt be messing with NPTL in the first place.. not yet anyways), I
installed w/NPTL by doing the following:

1) Boot LiveCD
2) Do normal install stuff until you get to the part where you need to
edit make.conf
3) Put nptl in the USE flags
4) Edit /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-headers/linux-headers-2.6.ebuild
and add you architecture to the KEYWORDS varibale after "-*", for
example KEYWORDS="-* x86"
5) Run /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh to start stage 1.
6) Add "~x86" to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in make.conf.  This is needed for NPTL.
7) continue install while crossing fingers.

HTH,
Aaron

You might want to look at aolserver. Don't let the name fool you, it's
actually a very nice and small webserver program.

Why? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml ist the official one. The

mirror (FETCHCOMMAND, etc).

No, for a /private/mirror rsync..gentoo.org/gentoo-portage is the
right one:

Gentoo.org IS gentoo.
And no, they can't, they don't operate the mail -> news gateway.
It's also totally irrelevant anyway, as there is little doubt that spammers 
are subscribed to the group. There are also at least 2 mail -> web gateways 
archiving the list, and not munging addresses.

I hate spam as much as the next guy, but once they've got your address there 
is little you can do, either ignore it, or filter it.

When you utilize the nptl USE variable, it tells glibc to look in
/usr/src/linux for the required linux headers. So as long as you have a
2.6.x kernel at /usr/src/linux you'll be good to go.

Just adding to the list of "good news". I've got 2.6.x kernels running
on two x86 systems, both with nptl turned on. One is my desktop system,
a dual athlon rig, and one is my internet box, a dual PIII Xeon rig. No

I still have not moved my ultrasparc or alpha system to a 2.6 kernel,

Hmmm Since upgrading to nptl which calls for an up todate glibc, linux 
headera 2.6.x and kernel 2.6.x I haven't had any of the issues you 
mentioned. However, mysql won't compile unless you jigger the .config file 
from the package, then it will compile ok.

Maybe you've got other problems to iron out first?

[gentoo-user] Lightweight httpd

[Eamon Caddigan]

Hey all,

I'm thinking of setting up a small httpd on my desktop computer. Since I
have a dynamic IP and no extra box to use as a "server", I just want
something really simple that will let me serve static files, e.g.
torrents, images, and the occasional MP3.

Some programs that look interesting (found 'em all in portage) are: boa,
monkeyd, cherokee, and fnord. Would anybody with experience in one or
more of these share their opinion? Are there any others I'm missing?
