Re: [gentoo-ppc-user] Issue with blocked ebuilds
Hi, Technically, you should remove the old one before merging the new one. (Hint: You might want to build a binary package of it in case merging the new one fails - check quickpkg command). You could try to cheat, at your own risk, by using the --nodeps option. Or do the non-risky: quickpkg old_ebuild emerge --nodeps --buildpkgonly new_ebuild emerge -aC old_ebuild emerge --(the option to use the bin pkg) new_ebuild Just depends how fast is your computer and if you need it... xorg unmerged means can no longer start X applications and on my iBook, it takes ~3 hours to build it.

[gentoo-user] installing gentoo on IBM xSeries 206 with ServeRAID-7t SATA
Hi have anyone installed gentoo on IBM xSeries 206 with ServeRaid SATA? IBM have drivers only for commercial linux... downloading their image, I discovered that they supply aacraid module. the gentoo 2.6 kernel has this module but it doesn't seem to do anything. when I load it. on dmesg I get this output: aacraid: falsely claims to have parameter commit Red Hat/Adaptec aacraid driver (1.1.2-lk2 Nov 2 2004) and I don't see any additional devices.

[gentoo-user] xorg on a laptop (radeon) - how do I preset the external monitor resolution
Does anyone know what I need in xorg.conf (dell i8200 laptop, radeon M9) to allow both the LCD and external monitor to startup in 1600x1200 resolution, even when no external monitor is plugged in? No matter what I do, the external defaults to a viewport of 640x480 (or close to that) if no external monitor is plugged in when starting xorg, and I have not been able to overide it (the LCD is fine.) It is apparently a safety feature so if a monitor that may be damaged by the sync settings is plugged in it defaults to the lowest common denominator, but the problem is it doesn't allow you to redetect/reset the external port once you do plug one in. I know what monitor and projectors I am going to use, so this is redundant (or rather, I dont care - they have protection when overdriven - tested!) The difficulty is that if I start X, and have lots of windows open, I have to shut them all down, stop X, plug in the monitor and restart X, then reopen all my apps. Not good, especially when arriving to give lecture and (publicly) having to waste time making xorg get its act together. XFree didnt have this problem, so I am sure there is some work around that I have not discovered yet. Can anyone suggest what I need to do?

[gentoo-user] [OT] Vim syntax files
Hi,
I've managed to use syntax folding for vim C/C++ files adding:
syn region CurlyFold start={ end=} transparent fold
syn sync fromstart
set foldmethod=syntax
set fdc=1
to /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/c.vim.
This will fold / unfold everything between '{' and '}'.
This failes if I try to fold everything between '(' and ')', '[' and ']'
'#if' and '#endif' too.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have more than one pair of fold
region delimiters at a time?
Thanks in advance
Frank

[gentoo-user] perl seems broken: pulling in multiple perl versions
My perl seems broken. This is an older machine that has had quite a number of perl versions on it. The problem is that when trying to build dev-perl/Tk-JPEG-Lite, it is pulling in multiple perl versions (see the compile line below). It seems that MMutil.pm is detecting a perl version =5.00565 which I think is correct, but the error the emerge generates is Unrecognized switch: --center (-h will show valid options) so I suspect it is pulling in one of the older perl versions. I have run perl-rebuilder, revdep-rebuild and perl-cleaner multiple times in the past so I dont think this should occur. qpkg -i and equery l show only the one perl version installed. rattus Tk-JPEG-Lite-2.01403 # equery l dev-lang/perl [ Searching for package 'perl' in 'dev-lang' among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.5-r4 (0) Should I manually purge the older 5.8.0 stuff and rerun the utilities, or is that a bad idea?

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg on a laptop (radeon) - how do I preset the external monitor resolution
xorg.conf can be found at: http://wdk.dyndns.org/xorg.conf.html Some of the comments at the top of the file are out of date: it is now running as AGP 4, but GLX has gone back to MESA for some reason. I have been working on this for over a month and have tried a lot of things. I think xorg 6.7.0 worked, but it failed with 6.8.0 (XFree86 was fine) and this config is quite different from the old version. I also had problems with closing the lid while on an external monitor - it blanked when the LCD did, at least this doesnt happen with the current config. Havent tried xinerama, but this has never been neccessary in the past, and some of the radeon driver options for the second screen cause stray lockups on resume (they had no effect in any case). xorg 6.8.0 is not as good as XFree86, at least for this machine!

ie, my IMAP server tells me its running Courier.
Yours doesn't say at all which means either:
1. it is not running courier, or
2. it is running courier, but courier is configured to not announce
itself by name.
Therefore we are no further ahead.
To unravel this go to the FC box and look in the /etc/xinet.d/ directory and
look at the file that starts imap, its probably called imap. Look at
that file and see what program is being run. I don't run imap from
xinetd so the example I am about to give is for the printer service, but the
principle is the same:
service printer
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= lp
server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
disable = yes
the server being run is /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd, so now you need
to find out what package that file belongs to
rpm -qf /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd - should give you the package name.
(obviously that is for my printer example)
report back the answer and we will work from there :-)

I don't quite understand this information, but it seems to me that it
doesn't say anything beyond what we already know. And also bullet has
FC1 installed, not FC3, if that matters...

packages were already installed; I just had to edit a couple of files
in /etc/sysconfig and start the daemons. All I know about the IMAP and
POP3 services is that they depend on xinetd. Does that help?
The problem is if you don't know what software package is providing imap
and pop on your FC3 box then we'll find it difficult to replicate it
for you.
Try telnetting to ports 110 and 143 on your FC3 box, the servers usually
announce themselves by name.

What's the alternative? Chris As I said in my answer to the original question (which was exactly this): 1) get the supermount patch (available from the ck-sources homepage, and likely other locations), and patch the kernel yourself to re-enable supermount (by selecting it in the patched kernel); 2) use subfs (also a kernel option, but I don't remember if it's native to the kernel or a patch, or even where it is in the kernel config, sorry); 3) use the user-space replacement ivman, which requires hal and dbus to work, or you can use gnome-volume-manager with hal and dbus to accomplish the same.

Don't believe it's a bug, but then I'm not running emacs so I don't have that use flag set. You could try an env-update, which would rebuild the ld cache and might resolve it. This is happening because the newest versions of X.org have moved a bunch of files around. Partly for FHS compliance, and partly other reasons. It looks like a path was hard-coded into the package.

[gentoo-user] Assistance? Kernel 2.6.10-as2-grsec-20050124: proftpd segfaulting (11 / SIGSEGV)
(I sent this to grsecurity mailing list as well, i'm desperately seeking input. Yes, I run gentoo) I'm running kernel 2.6.10, with the as2 patch, with grsecurity 20050124 patch. I've been thrilled with it using it here on a server, except for one problem i've run into. Proftpd keeps segfaulting , that is, signal 11 (SIGSEGV). It worked fine for all of today, up till a while ago (while I was at lunch, of course :P ), then clients could not log in, their FTP sessions were immediately closed. Logs show many lines similar to: grsec: From 192.168.1.128: signal 11 sent to /usr/sbin/proftpd[proftpd:386] uid/euid:0/1001 gid/egid:407/407, parent /usr/sbin/proftpd[proftpd:29018] Now, does this mean grsecurity sent that signal? Or is this just the signal logging? I repeatedly stopped proftpd and started it back up, and kept getting the same problem.

[gentoo-user] linux kernel disk probe order
Hello, I have SATA (Promise tx2plus libata) and SCSI disks in one of my machines. My SATA disks are primary, and the SCSI disks are just kept around for legacy stuff. I just recompiled my kernel so that the SCSI module would be compiled directly into my kernel, just in case I needed to boot from one of my SCSI disks. This action had the unfortunate side-effect of placing the SCSI disks BEFORE my SATA disks in drive numbering/lettering. Is there a way to tell the kernel at either compile or boot time to give priority to the SATA drivers? Thanks! -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

[gentoo-user] Giving a user his own partition
Hi, I'm having trouble on a Gentoo machine that's run fine for the last 15 months but is now having trouble with Evolution. I suspect that it's possibly caused by my lack of knowledge about mounting partitions and possibly coupled with recent updates. I hope you can set me straight. The machine is owned by essentially a single user, my dad, and then I have an account so that I can log on and administer the machine. When I originally set the machine up I did not put /home on a separate partition from / and late we ran out of space. The drive had more space so I created a new partition just for my dad's account, copied his data there and then tried mounting that partition under /home/herb but what I found was that he couldn't write to the drive. I didn't understand the permissions issues well enough so what I did was a bit strange. I made a directory on the partition called 'herb' and gave him ownership of that. I mounted that partition under /mnt/extrahome and under /home I created a link /home/herb-/mnt/extrahome/herb gandalf root # ls -al /mnt/extrahome/ total 28 drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 Jun 3 2004 . drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Jun 3 2004 .. drwx-- 67 herb users 4096 Feb 16 17:23 herb drwx-- 2 root root 16384 Jun 3 2004 lost+found gandalf root # gandalf home # ls -la total 12 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Feb 16 17:53 . drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Nov 22 20:43 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 15 18:09 .keep lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root19 Feb 16 17:53 herb - /mnt/extrahome/herb drwx-- 44 mark users 4096 Feb 16 17:28 mark gandalf home # and as 'herb': [EMAIL PROTECTED] herb $ pwd /home/herb [EMAIL PROTECTED] herb $ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 4892408 3890844753044 84% / /dev/sda6 9612604 3691232 5433076 41% /mnt/portage none257792 0257792 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda8 9612604 1247096 7877212 14% /mnt/extrahome [EMAIL PROTECTED] herb $ This has worked fun until this week but now Evolution is complaining.

Is this what's causing the problem? My problem right now is that I'd like to mount /dev/sda8/herb under /home/herb but I don't know how to mount the directory there. I also don't know how to mount the top of the drive under /home/herb and give him write access. There's a lost+found directory he'd see that I'd prefer he didn't, etc. What do I do to fix this up and give him the disk space he needs and make the system work? What do those camel messages above mean? Thanks in advance, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Giving a user his own partition
have you googled or searched the forums for the camel error. I suspect it has nothing to do at all with your strange hard drive setup. see for example here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-250670.html as far as your hard disk setup is concerned, you say there is only herb and you as users. I guess your storage requirements are probably minimal. Why not mount the whole of /home on the second partition? The way you are doing it should work, but goes through several unnecessary hoops - actually mounting the partition as /home/herb should work just fine too. I suspect though that this would involve telling mount (via fstab) what ownerships and permissions the mount point should have. However i certainly believe that the disk mounting thing is a red herring as far as evo is concerned.

You can check that with rc-update show | grep postfix. If it says default next to it that's a problem. In that case you want to do rc-update del postfix default. You also want to remove /etc/init.d/postfix as trying to add exim will probably give the same error. Hope this helps! -Cos -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Re: [OT] Vim syntax files
Hi,
* Frank Schafer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [16/02/05 21:46]:
Hi,
I've managed to use syntax folding for vim C/C++ files adding:
syn region CurlyFold start={ end=} transparent fold
syn sync fromstart
set foldmethod=syntax
set fdc=1
to /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/c.vim.
This will fold / unfold everything between '{' and '}'.
This failes if I try to fold everything between '(' and ')', '[' and ']'
'#if' and '#endif' too.
Does anyone know if it is possible to have more than one pair of fold
region delimiters at a time?
It is possible, you will need to add something like containedin=ALL to
the definition to make it work, since these will usually appear inside
other regions.
Note that it is easier to experiment if you remove the 'transparent'
part. Then you can also use the the line in :help synID to check what
group is used for the character under the cursor.
HTH
Thanks in advance
Frank

[gentoo-user] Portage alternating between upgrade and downgrade of media-libs/gst-plugins [solved].
I finally figured out why portage keeps fluctuating between upgrading and downgrading these packages. It seems that every time I upgrade system or world, it isn't the right version. *sigh* I added '-t' to my emerge and discovered a package that isn't in my keywords file. daevid edb # emerge -Davut world These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [nomerge ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.7-r1 [nomerge ] media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.7 +alsa -debug +esd +oss [nomerge ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis-0.8.5 [ebuild UD]media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.5-r1 [0.8.7] +alsa -debug +esd +oss 0 kB Total size of downloads: 0 kB My /etc/portage/package.keywords contains media-libs/gstreamer ~x86 media-libs/gst-plugins ~x86 Adding media-plugins/gst-plugins-vorbis to the file made it stop being so obnoxious. So the real question is, is this a 'bug' or 'feature request' for portage. It seems it should have warned me somehow that -vorbis- isn't masked, yet the other packages are. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
