[gentoo-user] EVMS2 Volumes Not Detected on Bootup
I installed a barebones Gentoo with a 2.6 kernel and evms on 10GB of my first hard drive. I then created the standard boot, swap, and root partitions on my main(second) hard drive. After that I created my evms volumes(/home, /usr, and /var partitions) on my main hard drive. I finished intalling Gentoo which included listing my drives in fstab as /dev/evms/hdx(for the root, boot, and swap partitions) and /dev/evms/xxxlv(for the /usr, /var, and /home partitions). I then try to boot up, evms loads ok(right after '* Calculating module dependencies') but later on in the process when it is '* Mounting local filesystems' it complains that it can't find my evms volumes and of course the rest of the bootup is a mess because there are no /usr, /var, and /home partitions mounted. I saw that there was a new experimental 2.6 LiveCD with basic evms support, would I have better luck with that? Thanks, Kent -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] how to make gentoo boot faster? (kernel 2.6.1)
thanks, is this feature stable now? i had used it back in 2.4.1x age (with swsusp 1.x/0.x cannot recall) , but it wasn't very stable yet at that time. is it stable enough that i can confidently hibernate even while working on some really really important project? also, now do i still have to use the script from swsusp? or i can simply use shutdown -z? thanks again.

[gentoo-user] the buildpkg option
Hi, I've just discovered a directory /usr/portage/packages occupying more than 1G of my disk. It seems that this is generated due to the buildpkg feature in make.conf, which is on by default. My question is, what do I gain from it? It seems like an option that is useful mainly for packagers, is it safe to remove it? Thanks, Moshe pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thats why they advice you not to use scsi emulation for kernel 2.6, but to use the alpha version of cdrecord which support direct IDE writing ie: cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd -data we.iso So thats why scsi emulation is not reliable in 2.6 kernels.

Collins' painless method is what I use: 1) emerge sync every few days 2) emerge -pUv world (I have some ~x86 packages) 3) analyze the packages offered 4) if any of the biggies are there (gcc, glibc, xfree, kde, gnome, etc.), let them age a couple of weeks and check in forums or here. 5) If you see any favorites, emerge them manually. 6) When well aged, emerge [-u | -U ] world 7) never update world withoyut checking!!! 8) if baselayout is to be updated, backup your /etc first, and do etc-update very carefully.

Also compacting the mailbox doesn't help. You should also provide more information. I don't know if you use IMAP or POP3. If you are using IMAP then just move the file to the "Local Folders->Trash" folder. (Then you can right click on Trash, and tell it to empty.) I'm not certain about POP3, as I don't use it with KMail. Try the above method. If that doesn't work, AND you can't get a "right-click->delete" to work, then you should probably ask on the KMail list.

Re: [gentoo-user] alsasound hotplug 2.6.2 load a lot modules
well, I've a look again and I found that I've got a mistake, since I put hotplug and aumix like init default, aumix got to start before hotplug so the modules aren't yet loaded. now I used to put hotplug in init boot and aumix in init default and that work's fine. claudinei matos On Mon, 2004-02-09 at 22:28, Jakub Krajcovic wrote: > Oh my god, you compiled ALL of the alsa sound modules???

I dunno, you have the much valued source for the kernel driver so please figure this out yourself and help us by trimmimg the unncessary slack if it is so easy. Let me tell you this, the xfree86 has buggy drivers for cards as well. So does open source software for example even our beloved kernel has a lot of problems with ACPI, so even free software has its bugs. Tell me the ide-scsi source code is available has anyone fixed that for 2.6.2? No not at all.

This command should do that:

One thing I dont like about the frame buffer is that the modes have a horrible refresh rate, some are at 60hz which makes them unusable for long term perposes. There must be a way of increasing this but I never bothered to find out as I can do this as the X driver automatically figures out the highest refresh rated. > An one more thing for the framebuffer: try watching divx/xvid/etc movies > in fullscreen on a pII 266, ati mach 64 4mb and 96 mb ram in X and see > how far you go. And thanks to the vesa framebuffer (but mplayer mostly > :-)), an old piece of junk is a great mobile multimedia station... Surely the X driver will be allways faster than vesa? If it supports some kind of 2d accelration even (most old cards do) this will be ALLWAYS faster than writing to VESA which is not hardware accelerated IIRC. VBE 2.0 had some improvements but I still dont beleive that there was any 2d hardware acceleration involved in the specs.

[gentoo-user] What do I do with package.env files?
I notice when I emerge many packages, especially java-related packages (e.g. ant), that among the files installed is a file called package.env The file contains additional information for the CLASSPATH env variable, so it seems it should somehow make it into /etc/env.d, but never does. I've tried ignoring them, but then of course relevant programs don't run. So, I now go through and manually copy the package.env files over into /etc/env.d/java and rename them. This all seems way too manual and I would have thought that emerge would take care of this. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Eric -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I dumped devfs and hotplug.

Here is what I've got: $ls /etc/runlevels/ boot/ default/ nonetwork/ $rc-update show apache2 | default bootmisc | boot bootsplash | checkfs | boot checkroot | boot clock | boot consolefont | boot crypto-loop | cupsd | default ddclient | default dnsmasq | default domainname | esound | gpm | [... the list is much longer but I truncated it ...] It also seems like this comment in /etc/inittab - # Used by /etc/init.d/xdm to control DM startup. # Read the comments in /etc/init.d/xdm for more # info. Do NOT remove, as this will start nothing # extra at boot if /etc/init.d/xdm is not added # to the "default" runlevel. x:a:once:/etc/X11/startDM.sh - indicates that there is no special X runlevel, just the fact of adding xdm into mix makes your maching boot into X, but all the scripts still live in 'default' runlevel. So, from this point of view, the name 'default' makes sense. You've mentioned 'entries listed multiple times', could you clarify?

[gentoo-user] Mailman and Postfix bounce one domain on one list
I'm having some small trouble with my Mailman list management setup that I was hoping someone could shed some light on. Summary of the problem: --- I think Mailman has decided that it's running on the digitalelite.com domain, even though it is not. Mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] coming from the list is getting stopped because Postfix thinks it should be a local user and throws an error 550 as a result (because these are not local users). The mail gets into the list archive, and it goes out to members that are not using digitalelite.com addresses. Two things. The lists are digitalelite.com addresses (which is where the domain name is coming from) and this issue only occurs on new lists. The first two lists I created seem to work just fine. The new one I created after I thought everything worked has this issue, leading me to believe its an issue with Mailman rather than Postfix (my MTA of choice). Details of the problem: --- I have a domain (digitalelite.com) and that domain's mx is hosted by another company (1and1.com). I set up my home server (which is is no way associated with digitalelite.com) as the mailing list server for digitalelite.com. That home server machine name is called Mordor.MiddleEarth. I've set up Postfix to not accept any mail from anywhere but itself (the external port 25 is blocked by my firewall and I've set inet_interfaces = localhost in /etc/postfix/main.cf). I created new lists with /usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist and I've created an /etc/fetchmailrc that grabs each list address and points it to the new lists. When setting things up and trying to get it all working, I created two lists (list1 and list2 we'll call them). Those lists work just fine in all respects. However, once I thought I had everything working I tried to add another list (we'll call it list3). Only for list3 do I get this problem. The problem, as described above in the summary, is that it has decided that its domain is digitalelite.com, even though it is not. Mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], just for this one list, coming from the list is getting stopped because Postfix thinks it should be a local user and throws an error 550 as a result (because these are not local users). The mail gets into the archive for list2, and it goes out to members that are not using digitalelite.com addresses. If it were a problem with the mydestination variable in main.cf wouldn't that affect all lists? Maybe not. What could cause this behavior to only affect some lists and not others?. I've been staring at these config files so long now that they are started to jumble up in my brain. I have googled til I can't google no more and still I can't find an answer there and I'm desperate. :-) I can share any config info needed. Anyone that can shed light on this list behavior will be profusely thanked (sure my thanks are worthless, but they're all I've got )! -Tom Caudron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Distributed Gentoo Package management?
Hi, since RedHat's change of heart, we are thinking, of bringing the whole company to gentoo. In order to keep packages up to date and the whole thing mostly automatic we were wondering if there already is a projet. If not here's how we thought of doing it (comments welcome). One machine (the fastest one) keeps /usr/portage. Everybody else mounts this read only. Once every night (after the rsync) all machine do an emerge -uDp world and send the result to the server. The server has some kind of database knowing the cpu-type and start ebuild- packaging the necassary packages for each cpu-type. The packages are put in /usr/portage/packages//All Each machine has this mounted to /usr/portage/packages/All corresponding to its CPU-Type. And can than emerge -u the new packages. Machines of a different architecture (ie sun) are handled a little differently. The one problem I currently see is determining the order of the emerge -u's or could I use more than one tbz2-file at once so that portage determines the order. Also we will add some kind of flag for packages where it might be better, if human intervention happens before upgrading. These are our thoughts on this. Cheers, Konstantin -- Dipl-Inf.

[gentoo-user] alsasound hotplug 2.6.2 load a lot modules
Hi everybody I have a gentoo instalation with kernel 2.6.2 and ens1370 soundboard. My kernel have alsa compiled like modules so I've installed hotplug to detect necessary modules at boot. Well all works fine and the sound works fine too, but when I've installed aumix and put that to load at boot with "rc-update add aumix default" always when a boot I get a message that /dev/mixer doesn't exist and aumix don't load my default volume levels. OK, I put alsasound to load at boot too with "rc-update add alsasound boot" and that work's, but now I have a lot of modules loaded by alsa like you can see below. I just want that my soundcard module be loaded automatically in boot by alsa or hotplug without have to edit /etc/modules.d/alsa and I don't want to get a lot of modules unecessary loaded. #lsmod snd_seq_midi6688 0 snd_ali545120868 0 snd_als400010500 0 snd_sb_common 13824 1 snd_als4000 snd_azt332817544 0 snd_cmipci 32280 0 snd_cs4281 18624 0 snd_cs46xx 80900 0 snd_emu10k190500 0 snd_ens137016516 1 snd_ak4531_codec7040 1 snd_ens1370 snd_ens137121764 0 snd_ice171254564 0 snd_cs8427 8320 1 snd_ice1712 snd_i2c 4992 2 snd_ice1712,snd_cs8427 snd_ice172428964 0 snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx 3200 2 snd_ice1712,snd_ice1724 snd_ak4xxx_adda 5504 3 snd_ice1712,snd_ice1724,snd_ice17xx_ak4xxx snd_intel8x0 28740 0 snd_nm256 66820 0 snd_rme96 24708 0 snd_trident41476 0 snd_util_mem3456 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_trident snd_via82xx21952 0 snd_ymfpci 56128 0 snd_ac97_codec 52868 12 snd_ali5451,snd_cs4281,snd_cs46xx,snd_emu10k1,snd_ens1371,snd_ice1712,snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0,snd_nm256,snd_trident,snd_via82xx,snd_ymfpci snd_opl3_lib9472 5 snd_als4000,snd_azt3328,snd_cmipci,snd_cs4281,snd_ymfpci snd_hwdep 7680 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_opl3_lib gameport3840 6 snd_cs4281,snd_cs46xx,snd_ens1370,snd_ens1371,snd_trident,snd_ymfpci snd_mpu401_uart 6400 9 snd_als4000,snd_azt3328,snd_cmipci,snd_ice1712,snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0,snd_trident,snd_via82xx,snd_ymfpci snd_rawmidi20992 7 snd_seq_midi,snd_cs4281,snd_cs46xx,snd_emu10k1,snd_ens1370,snd_ens1371,snd_mpu401_uart snd_pcm_oss49284 0 snd_pcm88064 18 snd_ali5451,snd_als4000,snd_azt3328,snd_cmipci,snd_cs4281,snd_cs46xx,snd_emu10k1,snd_ens1370,snd_ens1371,snd_ice1712,snd_ice1724,snd_intel8x0,snd_nm256,snd_rme96,snd_trident,snd_via82xx,snd_ymfpci,snd_pcm_oss snd_page_alloc 9348 8 snd_cs46xx,snd_emu10k1,snd_ens1370,snd_intel8x0,snd_trident,snd_via82xx,snd_ymfpci,snd_pcm snd_mixer_oss 17280 2 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_oss32640 0 snd_seq_midi_event 6528 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss snd_seq52592 5 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 21888 3 snd_opl3_lib,snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 6660 7 snd_seq_midi,snd_emu10k1,snd_trident,snd_opl3_lib,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd44932 37 snd_seq_midi,snd_ali5451,snd_als4000,snd_sb_common,snd_azt3328,snd_cmipci,snd_cs4281,snd_cs46xx,snd_emu10k1,snd_ens1370,snd_ak4531_codec,snd_ens1371,snd_ice1712,snd_cs8427,snd_i2c,snd_ice1724,snd_ak4xxx_adda,snd_intel8x0,snd_nm256,snd_rme96,snd_trident,snd_util_mem,snd_via82xx,snd_ymfpci,snd_ac97_codec,snd_opl3_lib,snd_hwdep,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device Claudinei Matos -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'am using this thing, not developing it. I do have enough space for a 2,3MB module on my harddisc also, so this is no problem for me. The more ram the kernel might use is no problem for me, as I use kde anyway :-) You're text terminals get corrupted due to a bug in the driver. If you stop using framebuffer or add Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "TV" to your XF86Config things should be ok. At least this works here. My X server does not lock hard, when started multiple times. I do this regularly, cause this is how I use my TV out. Maybe a bug that should be reported? > Why doesn't it unload prettily? > Why is the RENDER extention broken?

Report them, and maybe they get fixed. As a developer of OpenGL apps, I need the 3D features of my grafics board. The opensource nv driver has no 3D support at all. The opensource Ati driver is under heavy construction and has lots of bugs (search dri-devel mailinglist archive for radeon). nvidia and their binary driver is my only choice so far.

[gentoo-user] python libstdc++.so.5 broken
Hey everyone, I just updated world and included in that was gcc 3.2.3. Now whenever I try to emerge or etc-update, it says that python can not find libstdc++.so.5.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: Graphics cards recommendations...
nvidia drivers have worked with X since I started using linux about a bit over a year ago. Sure they're not perfect, but i haven't had any problems i haven't been able to find the solutions to and fix myself, and i'm not at all a linux guru. I use gentoo for daily email, chatting, web browsing, and play games such as quake3, UT2003, and RTCW. Other than the fact that my computer's specs aren't very good, i have no performance issues. I've used nvidia's drivers with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels with very little problems at all...is this the exception rather than the norm???

i notice that every time it startup, the dependency of services are scaned and checked, which take about 2~3 seconds. i wonder is this a step that can be cut off? also, is /etc/init.d/modules neccesary?

Not sure why they would allow telnet and not ssh. However, since I assume they are accomplishing this with port blocking, you can get around it by getting ssh to listen on the telnet port.

I'm not going to get into one of the flames accidently sparked off earlier, I'll just give you my (as impartial as possible) view on things. I have an 32MB ati mobility 7500 in my notebook, and a 128MB radeon 9200 (built by ati) in my desktop. I use the open source dri driver with both, and havent had any issues (neverwinter nights is a little slow on the 7500, but it's about the same speed as my old geforce2 mx. Nothing unexpected there, they are both older cards). So far all I have really played on the desktop is Enemy-Territory. I'll go about installing nwn and ut2003 when I have some time off, so I cant comment on more graphically intensive games. The reason I would reccommend the 9200 above the 7000 and 7500, besides the age of the card, is the fact that the 9200 is the highest ati card that is supported by both the open-source dri driver and the binary ati driver. You might need to look into whether the binary driver will work with a card that isn't built-by-ati or not (it probably would, but you never know). My only experience with nvidia is with my old geforce2 mx. The driver is fairly easy to install through portage and manually. My only issues were some stability issues as people were changing the kernel interface around the latter 2.5 kernels (after .65-ish). The catch here is that you need to use the binary drivers for 3d accelleration for any nvidia card (and any ati card 9500 or later, and optionally for 8500 and up). Not really a big deal unless you hunt kernel bugs in your spare time. I'm assuming you don't, but just a heads up incase you were curious. That said, I paid $125 CAN for my 9200, so that looks like a pretty good deal. -- Chris I [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: www.cidesign.ca/~chris/ Windows 95: Proof that P. T.
