No it is, that makes sense. And your advice about moving in small steps was spot on.

Don't foprget that if an emerge fails it hasn't removed the old version. The old version isn't removed until after the new one is successfully built. One thing that could happen though is that a library might get updated with a version that is not completely backwards compatible. Then something that depends on the old version doesn't compile cleanly, you are left with the old version of the app, not working because the old library has disappeared. I think at some stage you need to bite the bullet though. A thought: if you installed a GRP, why not update to the latest GRP precompiled stuff, the 2005.0 binaries are pretty new :-) To do that I would do something like this: *download the package .iso for your arch *update portage to the same snapshot as used for the 2005.0 builds *mount the .iso in a known location *point gentoo at that location for its package directory *do an emerge -uDkp world to see what portage wants to do. * those last two can be combined with PKGDIR=/known/location emerge -uDkp world > > > Nick Rout wrote: > > >man emerge > > > >--buildpkgonly (-B) > > Creates binary packages for all ebuilds processed without > >actually merging the packages.

[gentoo-user] ACPI events config file
Hi I am setting up my ACPI on my notebook and have come across a small problem. I am setting the events in the /etc/acpi/events/default config file. Now I have got the ac_adapter event working nicely with speedfreq. Now I want to setup my power button and sleep button. This is from the acpid log file: [Sat Apr 2 00:16:30 2005] starting up [Sat Apr 2 00:16:30 2005] 1 rule loaded [Sat Apr 2 00:16:35 2005] received event "button/lid LID 0080 0005" [Sat Apr 2 00:16:35 2005] completed event "button/lid LID 0080 0005" [Sat Apr 2 00:16:39 2005] received event "button/lid LID 0080 0006" [Sat Apr 2 00:16:39 2005] completed event "button/lid LID 0080 0006" [Sat Apr 2 00:19:36 2005] received event "button/sleep SLPB 0080 0002" [Sat Apr 2 00:19:36 2005] completed event "button/sleep SLPB 0080 0002" [Sat Apr 2 00:20:05 2005] received event "button/power PWRF 0080 0002" [Sat Apr 2 00:20:05 2005] completed event "button/power PWRF 0080 0002" [Sat Apr 2 00:21:32 2005] exiting As you can see the acpid sees the sleep button lid and power button being triggered. Now it is just a matter of getting it to do something with the event. Here is my /etc/acpi/events/default file: event=button power.* action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh #action=/sbin/init 0 event=button sleep.* action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh event=button[ /]lid.* action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh event=ac_adapter.* action=/etc/acpi/ac.sh As I said above my ac_adapter works perfectly its just now to get the events working for the others. All the sleep.sh scipt does is tell logger to log "Zzz" so that I can check whether the event is working or not. Any ideas as to why it is not working correctly? I suspect it is the way I am defining the events seeing that the sleep power and lid are all under the buttons director where ac_adapter is on in its own directory.

Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot get Parallel Port to work
Hi, 1. Have you check what the command "dmesg" shows? 2. Are you running on udev? 3. Can you see the device under /dev for your printer (like lp0)? If you see the device, then it is just a matter of the cups configuration AFAIK. Try finding the parallel port in the dropdown that allows you to select the device for a new printer in the CUPS web interface (that runs at http://localhost:631 by default). If you see the paralell port there, then it means it is ready to use.

[gentoo-user] OT Gentoo firewall appliances?
Hello all, Being asked to build a new firewall, no doubt Gentoo is the distro. Hardware choices are another issue. Since the connection will be light to moderate on bandwidth, any of the 300MHz+ little embedded firewall-box-appliance type of devices should suffice. The question is which one (3+ etherports) as if it is opensource and gentoo driven, I'd put that one at the top of the list. Anybody sell or recommend gentoo ready (Via, EPia, ..., or non x86 embedded) linux firewall box? Low power is of interest too.

[gentoo-user] SSH/SFTP oddities
List, I've got a box that my SFTP is not working properly one, or at least I think it's not. I can SSH to the box fine with root or any another user, no problems. I can SFTP to the box from a console on a different machine. When I use jEdit to connect via SFTP it says that I have not authenticated, when I use this other Windows SFTP tool (not psftp) it has a dialog that pops up after authentication four times, like perhaps SFTP is spitting out control characters or something that is confusing jEdit (on Linux and Win32) and the other Win32 tool? I can use the same jEdit or the Win32 SSH tools to connect to three another gentoo machines just fine. All are using 2004.3 and have the same configs for sshd and pam an such. I turned up the logging of sshd and even ran in the -d mode to test but saw nothing there. Ideas? /djb -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You may want to look at modifying the ebuild and making your own "local" ebuild for apache and mod_perl (just copy the existing ebuilds into a local copy under /usr/local/portage and modify them as needed, then set PORTAGE_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf to activate it).

Re: [gentoo-user] ssh authentication wierdness
Thanks everybody! Got it now. (I was confused by a number of other errors happening at the same time). ssh -v zebedee showed that "zebedee" was being translated as 127.0.0.1, despite what it says in /etc/hosts. Adding "ListenAddress 127.0.0.1" to sshd_config did the trick. The other problem that was confusing everything is still a problem though. When I start the machine the /etc/init.d/sshd script doesn't start sshd, /etc/init.d/sshd restart doesn't work and /etc/init.d/sshd status tells me that sshd is running when it isn't . I have to /usr/sbin/sshd manually, after which the script works properly.

For example for mod_perl, I need the HTML-Mason and at a paragraph in the readme file says: "Using Mason with a mod_perl DSO may cause your Apache server to crash silently at startup, or fail intermittently. The fix for this problem is to install Apache/mod_perl with mod_perl compiled statically into the Apache binary. Packages of Apache with a static mod_perl are available around the net." and there are another modules with this requirement so, I write this, because, I found a solution to my problem. And there is how I solved it: #ebuild /path/of/mod_php.ebuild fetch #ebuild /path/of/mod_perl.ebuild fetch #ebuild /path/of/apache-1.3.33.ebuild fetch #ebuild /path/of/mod_php.ebuild unpack #ebuild /path/of/mod_perl.ebuild unpack #ebuild /path/of/apache-1.3.33.ebuild unpack Configure and compile, of course mod_php and mod_perl as static modules for apache (read the install of mod_perl and mod_php) #touch .configure for each work directoy (mod_php, mod_perl and apache) in order to tell portage that mod_php,mod_perl and apache are compiled #ebuild apache install #ebuild apache qmerge and ready.

After downgrading to the 1.0.8 versions, festival no longer causes a kernel oops. My questions: 1) Is my diagnostic correct? or is there something else at work here? (Namely, is the problem really with ALSA? I don't parse kernel messages well, so I am a little worried about the "Modules linked in: nvidia" line. Is it just to inform me, in case anything bad happened, that "this is your system setup"? Or does it actually say: nvidia culpa? 2) Did I do something really stupid in emerging alsa-lib-1.0.9_rc2?

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't complete the install!
Nick, IPv6, huh? Hmmm Any way to tell it v4? Local servers -- I did that, right under the 'stage 3' banner, and several are known to me as v4 capable; used themseveral times. emerge-webrsync when it finishes says to now proceed with emerge --sync. Given that I really, really wanted to do stage-1 & lots of custom/performance changes soon to get the best out of my system, don't I still need to do this?, Probably with --world or something? Thank You!, rgh. Nick Rout wrote: To cut a long story short it looks like the notorious ipv6 problem - wherein mirrorselect choses ipv6 mirrors (because ipv6 is enabled on the boot cd) but your chroot does not use ipv6. Find a mirror near you and put it in /etc/make.conf manually (within the chroot), the mirror list is easy to find off the main gentoo.org page. If that doesn't work use emerge-webrsync - once you have done that you have enough to complete the install, you don't need to emerge --sync after emerge-webrsync.

It removes the frame pointer from the execution stack. As one method calls another, a frame pointer would normally be put on the stack to assist in debugging.

I, too, thought that changing to 1 might make a difference but it doesn't. The 0 is default for /etc/conf.d/net, of course, and I've never understood why it's set that way in Gentoo. The comma is a typo and the caps the result of transcribing by hand to the mail message. Will I have access to the route command? This is a fresh install with, so far, only system packages.

First you should fix your CFLAGS to remove the -mcpu flag and replace with the appropriate -march value. OK what do you suggest as an appropriate -mach value? Some time ago I started getting this warning. Secondly, since you're using -mcpu=686 yet gcc appears to be i386 based, I would guess that your system setup from the ground up is poorly set up. I set up the system from Gentoo ver 2004.2 At the time I chose what the documentation recommended as reasonable defaults. I am not familiar with what these flags really do for gcc. I understand that certain optimizations for 686 exist that make incompatible binaries for earlier processors ie i586. My make.conf has CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu" I don't know if gcc depends on any specific part of this value. AFAIK it's simply a name (handle). Maybe so you can have several versions of gcc around and chose which one you want to use? If you're still in the early stages of the system build, I'd suggest starting over with valid CFLAGS; trust me, having a solid foundation ensures that you'll end up with a stable gentoo box when you're done. Yeah I though that I might have to tweak my CFLAGS... I was never sure if it was optimized or not. Right now I use CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer" Clearly -mcpu=i686 is depreciated. What -march setting is good? How does -fomit-frame-pointer effect the compilations? I don't put -O[3-6] because I read that gcc doesn't always define such optimizations it falls back to -O2. Also, I don' t know if any of the higher optimizations are experimental or not. Anyway what do you suggest? I have a vanilla P4 Willemite... If the system has been operational for awhile, then I think you should count yourself lucky, not emerge the glibc update, and keep your misconfigured box running as it is. I've emerged glibc about 4 times already. I remember a similar error occured a while ago but was fixed by a subsequent release. TNX for your attention Leo -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The DNS entries were, in fact, entered during installation via dhcp, which is the way the livecd read my network. Checking /etc/resolv.conf, the nameserver entries there are perfectly correct for this machine. Unless the style used to enter them needs to be revised in some way, which I would doubt, they're fine.

You've hit a bug in portage, which you'll side-step, and then have to side-step another bug in order to get you back to a supported profile. Assuming that you do in fact have an /etc/make.profile symlink, first create an empty make.defaults under it: # touch /etc/make.profile/make.defaults Then upgrade portage to the latest, which should be 2.0.51.19.

But the truth of the matter is that for this list I'd bet we could find at least 10 different client programs being used, and the chances of getting them all repaired any time soon are the same as M$ open-sourcing windows xp. More importantly, I don't think it is specifically a client issue. I am very careful to look at my to: and cc: values before posting; the to: always reads gentoo-user@gentoo.org and the cc: only has a targeted individual if I feel that there's relevant information that person needs. That said, I still see many of my posts duplicated on the list, often with a significant time-lapse between the dups (i.e. 30 minutes). Sure, it's one thing to say that the mail list admins want to adhere to the correct standards, but it's quite another to annoy so many of the subscribers as to chase them off, defeating the purpose of having a mailing list at all. We've got folks generating procmail rules and all kinds of other crap just to handle the fact that, under the current configuration, tons of dups are now coming through. I admire the list admins for wanting to adhere to the standards, but at this point in time it is probably too late in the game to do so. Please please please bring back the old mailing list config... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
