Any chance you didn't resize the filesystem afterwards?

No. Unless you want to grow / and have a filesystem on it that doesn't allow 
online resize.

BTW: EVMS would have done volume _and_ filesystem resize in one go for you.

/ yes, you'll have to boot with an initrd. /boot depends on the bootloader. 
AFAIK there is a patch for lilo to make it work with EVMS volumes, but not 
for grub.

I'd recommend to make /boot a real partition (32M should be enough). 
Everything else can be on lv's.

I'm not sure what you mean by making 'compatible' volumes...a
partition/disk is either an LVM physical volume, or it isn't.  There is
no 'compatible' mode.  There is no problem to mix regular partitions
with LVM partitions on the same disk.  Or, put another way, an LVM
physical volume can be any Linux block device, which includes whole
disks, primary or logical partitions, raid volumes, encrypted loop
volumes, dm-crypt volumes, etc.

There is no problem putting / on an LVM volume.  It is a bit more work,
because you have to make sure your initrd script runs the appropriate
commands to scan and activate the volumes.

When you say "no sound", do you mean you (1) get an error, or (2) does
aplay hang, or (3) does everything seem to work right and you just get
no sound?  If (3), is it possible that bad volume settings are being
restored by KDE?  What happens if you just run alsamixer and adjust the

I heard a rumor that a resizer for reiser4 would only be available 
commercially.

The only reason I don't use reiser4 right now is because of this issue 
(lack of resizer).  At some point, I figure I'll try and write one myself; 
libreiser4 (at least) is GPL'd and I'd like to get back to hacking C to

Whether artsd is properly configured or no... I would never wager on it, but
I think it's OK.  Everything works great with a 2.6.9 kernel, but not
2.6.11.

In trying to isolate the problem, I went into KDE and turned off arts
(Control Center -> Sound & Multimedia -> Sound System -> Enable the Sound
System (uncheck), hit the apply button).  On reboot, I do the following
sequence...

1. Power On.
2. Boot a 2.6.11 kernel into single user.  (Grub:
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-suspend2-9 root=/dev/hda10 video=vesafb vga=0x305
resume2=/dev/hda6 s)
3. In single user mode: # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
4. # aplay /usr/share/games/tuxracer/sounds/tux_hit_tree1.wav
5. I hear the sound of tux hitting the tree.
6. # init 3 (includes kdm starting)
7. As root or normal user: $
aplay /user/share/games/tuxracer/shounds/tux_hit_tree1.wav
8. Again, poor tux.
9. Log in to KDE (remember, artsd is turned off)
10. No sound.  Neither aplay nor xmms via ALSA... nothing.
11. Here, I can fix it with $ sudo hibernate
12. Or, I can break it until the next boot with: # /etc/init.d/alsasound
restart (Honest, when I do that it stays broke)

Reboot with 2.6.9 kernel, and all is well.

I keep trying to nail where the problem is.  I suspect it's KNotify or
something.  I've seen hints on google where others have their KDE sound
broken with 2.6.11... but I don't see any bug reports or anything.

Again, any help or tips is appreciated!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by a 'virtual drive'...please explain.

I don't know if windows does the block mapping in 'absolute' sectors
from the start of the disk, or in relative sectors from the start of the
partition.  My guess is that it is in absolute sectors from the start of
the disk, and if so the 'dd' trick would only help you in copying a
partition from one disk to another at the same start ing sector.

I still think your best bet is to install windows into a primary
partition, and let Linux be installed in the logical partitions (or LVM
volumes).

Nope.

More info, though:

1. I can boot so single user, run '/etc/init.d/alsasound start', and it
works fine.  This is true for the current 'suspend' kernel as well as some
old kernels (like 2.6.9-gentoo-r13).
2. When I go to 'init 3', it still works fine before logging into KDE.
3. After I log into KDE, the sound card brakes.  Only way to recover it so
that it's usable to KDE is to hibernate and then resume.

[gentoo-user] Subtle KDE style problem ?

[Dave S]

This is a subtle KDE problem, in a nutshell :

If I use kde logged in as myself, I go to control center > style >
preview, I see tab 1 & tab 2. There is a slight line below the tabs
which defines the top of the preview box as it should be.

If I use kde logged in as my wife, I go to control center > style >
preview, I see tab 1 & tab 2. However there is no line below the tabs to
define the top of the preview box, it just merges with the gray background.

This phenomena effects several apps including thunderbird making it look
washed out with no defined tops to the 'subject', 'recipient', and
'date' fields.

I have checked through the control center but all the settings seem the
same.

I am at a loss, does anyone have any suggestions ?

Re: [gentoo-user] Crosscompiling

[Nick Rout]

relatively simple. the general idea is thus:

1. make a directory, say

mkdir /mnt/target

2. untar a stage3 tarball into there, for the architecture you want.

3. mount various directories

mount -t proc none /mnt/target/proc
mount -o bind /usr/portage /mnt/target/usr/portage
cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/target/etc/resolv.conf

4. chroot

su
chroot /mnt/target /bin/bash

then carry on as per the install instructions. Do not reinstall grub as
you will screw your existing setup.

When finished tar up /mnt/target and transfer to the new machine. setup
grub. go.

Actually though you would find it easier to use the recent 2005.0
packages cd.

Hi Robert,
  Thanks for responding. No problem about the delay. 

  I could still use some help. I have filed a couple of bug reports
around this issue. However none of the ideas or responses I've gotten
really get to the root issue for me. Let me recap:
1) I have a desktop machine with a wireless connection. The wireless
connection is weak (I think...) or maybe I have wireless misconfigured
and it doesn't work well. I'm not sure which. However the bottom line
is that at boot time the machine never connects with the router.
2) This machine and a second machine in the house used to run Fedora
Core 2. Under FC2 if either of these machines didn't attach to the
router at boot time then FC2 would continue to try to connect on its
own. It would eventually attach to the network and the user could
start using the network. The important aspect about this is that it
took no root level access under FC2. It only took time.
3) I converted one of these desktop machines to Gentoo. I use Gentoo
elsewhere in the house and am more or less comfortable with it at a
high level. We wanted to run MythTV and I was far more confident that
I could get Myth working under Gentoo. Indeed in under a day I was
recording TV shows. However there have been problems if the machine
needs to go through a reboot. The problems look like:
a) Networking doesn't start because the signal is weak
b) MySQL cannot start because it depends on networking being up
c) MythTV doesn't start because it depends on MySQL being up
d) sshd doesn't start because networking isn't up
e) samba doesn't start because networking isn't up
f) strangely nfs does start without networking being up
Overall it's a mess because to clean up from all of this as it
requires root access and essentially me, not my wife or son. FC2 was
FAR more friendly.
I think that it should be a standard idea that a portable with
wireless connectivity could be booted outside of any access point's
reach and then come into the area of coverage. If a portable did this
you would expect it to connect to the network without having to become
root to do so. I am guessing that a Gentoo machine wouldn't, or at
least the way mine is configured it wouldn't.
I hope it's clear that I think there's a 90% chance that the problem
is mine and not the distro's but I don't know much else to do.
Things I've tried:
Since the machine had a built in wired NIC I tried starting net.eth0
on an address I don't use. net.eth0 starts but MySQL doesn't like it
because the network it is bound to (the wireless network) isn't up so
this still requires root intervention running /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
start by hand.
Editing /etc/conf.d/rc and changing to RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="none".
This at least allows things like sshd to get started without wlan0
being online but it doesn't actually get the machine to continue to
connect to the network.
I looked at a package that is supposed to check if things are running
and then it will start them if they are down. I couldn'

Well i could get it off Gentoo LiveCD anyway :)

Yes, thanks, but it was my understanding that with GentooX you had to
build it on the XBox which is very slow. Am I incorrect about that?
Can I do the work on my desktop and then move the data over later when
I'm ready with the whole build?

I know nothing about cross-development. Another friend was jsut
telling me about that so I'm trying to check this stuff out.

Cheers,

Jan,
   I think this is the same thing I want to know about. I run Gentoo
but want to try running it on my XBox. In general I am guessing we
handle it jsut like a normal install. Make a directory that will
represent the root of the new system, then chroot into it and work
only in there. That's just a guess though.

   I'm interested in hearing how to do it right.

it possible, with some learning, to get a kernel and some drivers

Assume that the XBox is already modchipped and maybe I even have a
different version of Linux running on it.

Thanks for your investigation, you are obviously far more au fait with
the finer points of the portage/python thing than I am.

The thing is I am sure it USED to work the way I think it ought to.
Logically it should find the ebuild you would install, and honour stuff
like ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 and the contents of the various /etc/portage
bits.

I will follow up with the devs/bugs if I get time.

on my lan I have a laptop thats dualbooting windows and gentoo


while in windows, I can browse sites, but as soon as I try to fireup xchat
I get an ident timeout and my client doesn't connect properly

I can sometimes join a channel but thats it it dies on me.

Someone said I need to set up a rule which may assist me however I
have no idea what to do or how to do it.

I currently only have 3 rules

gentoo root # iptables -L -n

target prot opt source   destination 

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source   destination 

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

I think that the claim of "Windows unable to boot from logical
partition" is half true.
As I have written, I did managed to install and boot windows from a
logical partition but the windows boot loader (ntldr) had to be on a
physical partition.

That leades me to this idea : What do you think about creating a
virtule drive, where there will be only 1 partition with the windows
bootloader, those fooling ntldr to make it think it boots from hdx1.
To create this I would repeat the steps I've made in the process of
installation windows, but now insted of dumb copying from hda1 to hda5
(thank you for teaching me about the fact the these files are block
mapped) I would dd the whole partition to the virtual drive.

The whole question is : Is it possible to mount the virtule drive and
point grub to boot from it?

Thank you for helping.

This whole path looks bad in my opinion:

I mean double slash in the beginning.

What's your output of "qpkg -f libstdc++.so" anyway?

[gentoo-user] Error while bringing eth0 "up"

[Mrugesh Karnik]

Hello,
Following the installation guide, I've set the value of eth0 to "up" as 
I use rp-pppoe. While booting the system, I get an error similar to 
following:

No loaded modules provide up (up_start)
Error starting required services
"netmount" not started
What have I done wrong? I haven't encountered this with my previous 
Gentoo installations!

Oh, btw, I haven't emerged rp-pppoe yet!
Thanks,

As I looked into it, it seems that when you choose "shut down" in gdm,
than gdm issues the shutdown and exits itself. Thus the init script
can't stop it because there is none left running

there's a discussion  about it at

Do you have /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf setup to restart alsa on

# StopServices alsasound

Does the sound card start working after boot if you do a
"/etc/init.d/alsasound restart"?

Simply copying the files from hda1 to hda5 wouldn't possibly work,
because those are block-mapped files whose position must be recorded in
the first block of the partition for the boot loader.  But the real
problem is that I don't think you can boot windows from a logical
partition...it must be on a primary partition.

I would suggest trying again, with partitioning like so:

hda1:  /boot (ext2)
hda2: Windows C: (fat32)
hda3: Linux (83) (/)
hda4: extended
hda5: swap
... (and so on)

You might also check out LVM, since then you would only need 3
partitions (/boot, C:, and an LVM volume).

[gentoo-user] software prototype

[José Moreira]

Hello, i've been thinking about a new software and i would like the
opinion from the community about it's viability. It's not directly
related to Gentoo but OSS in general. The name i believe would describe
it the best is 'helpforge' the sameway it exists 'howtoforge' and
'sourceforge'. The main goal is to relate the sameway to 'contributing'
as sourceforge to deploy software. It would abstract technologies
(cvs,svn,whatever) from the common user enabling him to have an access
to a portal whre he could browse 'task requests' in a categorized way. 

Perhaps the most elucidating example would be a translation. I'm coding
software 'X' and would like to translate the manuals to some foreign
language, i could (assuming my project is registered in the portal)
submit a 'task request'. Then, Joe (an happy guy who doesnt now anything
about cvs nor my project or even what is OSS) who has access to the site
and was perhaps an interpreter would read the task information and think
'Hey i can do this', download the files, translate them and re-submit
them. Then, another guy could 'verify' the task (check for errors) and
evaluate the 'contributor performance' and rate him. Then task would
then be complete and the developer notified.

I'm considering it could have the profiles :
- developers (the project owners)
- contributers (the one who contribute)
- reviewers (those who review the work done)

The reviewing component seems interesting as it could minimize the
chance for errors. Also the 'contributor rating' could enable better
rated contributors to have access to harder and more important tasks.

The portal would categorize the tasks like translations, database
designs, UI designs, etc etc, the more the better. Also of could it
would contain information on how to access code repository's, project
information and such. Integration with sourceforge would minimize
duplicate project information.

As i say, these are mere guidelines, what do you think?

Hello all,
I installed   app-emulation/qemu-0.6.1.
I haven't qemu prog but qemu-i386.
And when I execute qemu-i386 -cdrom some-isofile then there is this output:
.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2004 Fabrice Bellard
usage: qemu-i386 [-h] [-d opts] [-L path] [-s size] program [arguments...]
Linux CPU emulator (compiled for i386 emulation)
-h   print this help
-L path  set the elf interpreter prefix (default=/usr/gnemul/qemu-i386)
-s size  set the stack size in bytes (default=524288)
debug options:
-no-code-copy   disable code copy acceleration
-d options   activate log (logfile=/tmp/qemu.log)
-p pagesize  set the host page size to 'pagesize
So qemu-i386 is not qemu prog.
But where is the qemu prog that accespt this command: qemu -cdrom 
/path/to/iso

Thank you for your help

Thanks. I tried it but still NOT working.

It seems like some problem with liborbit package because all compilations seem
to stop at this point

orbit-idl-2 2.12.2 compiling
  mode, show preprocessor errors, passes: headers

gcc-config error: Could not run/locate "i386-pc-linux-gnu-gcc"
Error: Empty file

how to convince liborbit not to use i386- ?

[gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo and XP on hda without causing World War III -- impossible? (help)

[Maxim Vexler]

Hello to everyone,

I'm trying to achieve the most simple dual boot possible : Linux &
Windows on the same hd.
Trivial? I Think not!

Here is my new 160GB hard drive scheme, after being dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 out.
hda1  ext2
hda2  swap
hda3  reiserfs
hda4  extended
hda5  ext3
hda6  fat32
hda7  Linux (83)
hda8  Linux (83)
hda9  Linux (83)

I started with installing xp.
It complained about the fact it's not on the first partition, so
during the installation I allowed it to delete hda1 (ext2) and make it
fat32, so that is can copy it's ntldr to there
The system (windows) itself got installed into hda5. 
It finished, I even tried to boot it and it worked.

Then I boot from gentoo liveCD, mounted hda1, hda5.
Copied all the files windows left on hda1 to hda5.
Reformatted hda1 as ext2 and did a normal gentoo setup when the boot
loader is grub.

This is where the fun starts :

When I try to boot into my windows installation I get this error :

rootnoverify (hd0,5)
makeactive

Error 12: Invalid device requested


The relevant part of my grub.conf looks like this 

rootnoverify (hd0,5)
makeactive
chainloader +1


I tried :
1. Booting from winxp setup cd, with the intention of doing a recovery to hda5.
>> Windows simply reboots, it doesn't even gives me a shell to do
fixboot / fixmbr.


Reinstall of windows wont be a problem, but I think that it won't do
any good either because the situation would be reproduced exactly.

Calling MS for support is useless (obviously), they do not support
"multibooting between various operation systems".


Comments, Questions, Criticism ? all are welcome.
Thank you.

What do you get when you (not root) enter the commands:

For some reason, this problem intrigued me...  So I did some digging around. 
I am getting the same results as you.  I reviewed the sourcecode for equery
and gentoolkit, and found that it's coded to do exactly what you're
saying... but not what you thought it should do.

Using gentoolkit-0.2.0, here's what I found:

equery line 901-902, within the command 'CmdWhich' performs the query like
this:

matches = gentoolkit.find_packages(query, True)
matches = gentoolkit.sort_package_list(matches)

gentoolkit lines 198-204 starts off the 'find_packages' command like this:

def find_packages(search_key, masked=False):
"""Returns a list of Package objects that matched the search key."""
try:
if masked:
t=portage.portdb.xmatch("match-all", search_key)
else:
t=portage.portdb.match(search_key)

If you look close, you'll see that it *always* includes masked packages, and
the sort function is only looking for version (not package mask).

I recommend one or more of the following:

1. Contact a gentoo dev on IRC and get their input -- perhaps they don't
think it should work the way you think it should.

2. Based on their input, file a bug report.  IMHO, I think the default
should work the way you suggest, and there should be some way to expand it
to include packages.

3. If you do any code at all, add the functionality to the Python scripts
yourself and submit the patch to the gentoo devs.

4. If just want it working the way you want it for today,
edit /usr/bin/equery line 901 to read:

matches = gentoolkit.find_packages(query, False)

I tested it quickly, and it seems to work.

Peace,
Gabriel

Same here - been like that ever since I installed Gentoo a few months

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing 2005.0 with LVM2

[W.Kenworthy]

Depends on the filesystem type: I use reiserfs and the tool is
resize_reiserfs from sys-fs/reiserfsprogs.  I have increased the size on
partitions containing data with no problems at all, but have not tried
to reduce a partition yet (you shrink the fs first, then the LVM
partition).

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing 2005.0 with LVM2

[William Kenworthy]

Did you grow the filesystem into the space you made with LVM ?

Yes, unless its a non-core partition and can be unmounted, and even then
it would probably still be safer to do from a livecd.

OK. Installation complete. Everything went fine (well, I'm a lier ;) ). 
Anyways, just a few more queries...

During the installation, I extended one of the volumes by 2GB. But if I 
run df -hT, it still shows me the previous value. Why is this? How do I 
solve this?

Also, after installation, now, if I want to expand a volume, do I have 
to do it from the LiveCD?

[gentoo-user] Wrong Aspell PATH

[Luigi Pinna]

Hello!
I installed a new Gentoo box with KDE3.4 and aspell but, if I try to use 
aspell in kmail (I said in the control center to use aspell), I read 
that the PATH is wrong or check if I installed apell.
I use aspell 0.60.2 from the portage tree, where can I modify the PATH? 
Or where was the old PATH (I can create a soft link)?
Thanks a lot,
Luigi

this looks like it:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6920

seems that libgnome will work, but other gnome things might break when
recompiled

you can still get rid of alsa with -alsa in USE

libgnome depends unconditionally on esound (and esound pulls in audiofile).
 There's an esd use flag, maybe you can post a bug. On the other hand,
libgnomeui just may not work without esd (seems not the case from what
you write).

esound pulls in alsa-lib (and therefore alsa-headers), if you have
'alsa' use flag set...
