One question... why did you install manually sun-jdk? All available
versions are on portage...

It really is more flexible than my configuration, I'll do some tests 
this evening. Thanks.

Re: [gentoo-user] Too many failures in update world

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi,

I don't use doxygen and I haven't got it installed neither. Well it seems
that there is a bug on that code. Check bugzilla and see if that's only
yours or if it happened to someone else.

You could add this version of doxygen to package.mask and try to emerge a
previous version (or don't add it to package.mask and go emerging a
previous one with emerge =what-ever/whatever-ver.sion).

Bye,
Rafael Fernández López.

Have a look at this page it gives a method for having multiple
versions of JDK installed.

[gentoo-user] Lost my coreutils

[Bogo Mipps]

Hi

Have stuffed up and accidentally un-merged my coreutils: now can't emerge 
either what was current (5.2.1-r7) or newer version (5.3.0-r1) and needless 
to say have lost all coreutils tools which doesn't help. Google makes it look 
like no-one else has been so stupid. 

This is what I get:

The disadvantage of this is that pmount uses the real device name, not
the symlink, so you still end up with devices mounted on inconsistent
directory names in /media. that's why I prefer to do it the other way
round; NAME="somethingdescriptive", SYMLINK="%k".

Hi,
One way to go is find a binary package for coreutils, but watch out it
must match your -arch or -mtune settings.
Another way is to boot any recent install-cd chroot to your existing
install and emerge only "coreutils".

Yes, and AIX, Tru64,SCO and Linux and BSD of course

Well, Changing the OS again would be a lot of work.

A was a little angry because I've sent all the needed info in my
USB/sound threads and nobody seems to know. Golden times of Slackware
usage! :(

There was some post wondering about how a person with skills like mine
could run in trouble replacing a config file.

I think the trouple comes from the fact, that I DID NOT repace it. I've
reduced the troubles I have to udev right now. Everything works fine if
I start the system, create the devices manually and work as usual. ...
but that should not be normal behavior, should it?

Maybe we should start a new thread/threads to stop the flame. I hope
somebody would be interested in this.

Regards
Frank

Hmm, seems that that helped. I didn't change CFLAGS, instead I kept the

Umm, yeah, that's pretty serious...
I think the only real option is to post your CFLAGS, and perhaps someone will 
be nice enough to send you a statically compiled binary package of coreutils.

Yours is a up-to-date system and you have busybox installed?  Then 
type in that command and read carefully:  "Most people will create 
a link to busybox for each function they wish to use, and BusyBox 
will act like whatever it was invoked as."

Sorry, it's taken me some time to look into this (working all hours at the 
moment!)

Check if your /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf has a destination/filter like this:
=
#This is the source of the messages to be logged.
source src { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };
source kernsrc { pipe("/proc/kmsg"); };

#This is the destination where we want to capture some of the messages.
destination syslog { file("/var/log/syslog"); };

#This the relevant filter.
filter f_syslog { not facility(authpriv, mail); };

#This connects them together.
log { source(src); filter(f_syslog); destination(syslog); };
=

To rotate the logs I have set this up in my /etc/logrotate.conf:
=
# when /var/log/syslog gets big 
/var/log/syslog
{   
rotate 1
weekly
size=1M
}
=

Not sure if the above is syntatictally perfect, or a bit crude, but it works on 
two of my boxen without apparent problems.  Someone with scripting skills may 
want to comment on improving it?

You might want to have a look at the slotted mysql upgrade guide to make sure

Also check what you told the init script to use for /dev management.
# grep RC_DEVICES /etc/conf.d/rc

The default value is "auto" but perhaps you've changed this and forgot to 
update it when switching to udev. For your system it should be set to "auto" 
or "udev".

You've probably put everyone else off: it was not the way to get help.
Gentoo is for people who want to manage their own machine(s).
Many people don't want to do that & everyone here would encourage them
to choose another distro: eg I use Mandrake 2005 in my back-up box.

However, for starters have a look at :

  http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
  http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html
  http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

The 1st is essential reading, the 2nd may help, the 3rd is optional.
When you've carefully read at least the 1st & tried to do what it says,
come back with a polite set of questions & a sensible 'subject'
& you'll probably get some useful advice.

[gentoo-user] Problem with kernel 2.6.15-gentoo-r1, nvidia-driver and fbsplash, splashutils

[Daniel Pielmeier]

Hello,

i have tried to update my kernel from 2.6.24-gentoo-r5 to 2.6.15-gentoo-r1.
Now when i boot up, my splash-theme starts a few seconds after the
message "OK, now booting the kernel" as before when it started
immediately after this message.
Ok but the main problem is, before starting up gdm the system hangs and
i can do nothing else anymore. Without nvidia-driver installed i can log
in in textmode so i think it is a problem with the nvidia-driver and or
splashutils and fbsplash.

For your information, to update my kernel i used my old config-file with
make menuconfig which shows me the following output



make menuconfig

Maybe it has something to do with this error

.config:1317:warning: trying to assign nonexistent symbol FB_SOFT_CURSOR

Any suggestions concering this problem?

I would boot with install cd and extract latest stage3 or try to extract only 
missing files. then chroot, emerge --sync, emerge coreutils and emerge 
--update

dont know is this best solution, at least i did it some time ago when after 
update system was broke.

I posted this to your other thread, but you either didn't see it or
didn't respond.

Try "cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug".  In your case, it should say
"/sbin/udevsend".

However, we are _assuming_ that the system is starting udev.  You
should check the first few lines of the system boot to make sure.  You
should see messages like:

Mounting /dev for udev ...
...
 Setting /sbin/udevsend as hotplug agent ...

I don't use it either... it turned up as a dependant to something else
I think.  I'll try unmerging it and see if the update world just
passes it by.  I'll report back.

Which framebuffer graphics driver(s) did you enable in the kernel?  My
guess is that you want _only_ vesafb-tng.

I believe Netscape (and even Mosaic?) used the [Edit] menu.  Then 
along came
MS and just to be different chose to use the [Tools] menu.  Now firefox 
is converting
all of the IE users back to the fold, but we all know how simple minded 
windows
folks are so can't confuse them too much.  Therefore the windows version 
is under
the [Tools] menu.  Now the unix folks have never had to deal with IE so 
they've
been blessed all along with the preference being where it belongs under 
the [Edit]

menu.

Now personally I'd love to see the windows version have an option to use 
normal
menus vs. ie-like menus.  Have the windows build be default ie-like for 
a release

or two, then switch the default to where it belongs...

Have fun,
Roy

[gentoo-user] [equery Q] shorter version

[Harry Putnam]

Sometime ago some posted a command from a tool found in a package on
portage.  It was an equery related thread.

The command was something like a simple eq or maybe even e or q alone.

I was just an alias.
Anyone know what I'm remembering here?

[gentoo-user] Transparency mostly works with KDE 3.5.1 + Xorg 6.8.2

[Roy Wright]

Howdy,

Played around and got Transparency working with KDE 3.5.1.  In the past
it had been extremely slow.  This time I found:

 http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Transparency

which proved to be very useful (THANK YOU to the author(s)).  I was missing:

Option  "backingstore" "true"

from my xorg.conf.

I have noticed one problem.  When I open KDE's Control Center, and I resize
the window, the left panel is filled with the background.  Another way 
to duplicate
the problem is to open KWrite and do a resize, then the main panel is 
filled with

the background.  I've tried with ARGB enabled/disabled, no joy.  Any ideas?

Should I try with xorg-x11 7.0?

Here's my Devices section from my xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
   Option"CursorShadow" "True"
   Option  "TwinView" "True"
   Option  "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
   Option  "MetaModes" 
"1600x1200,1600x1200;1280x1024,1280x1024;1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600"

   Option  "SecondMonitorHorzSync" "28-95"
   Option  "SecondMonitorVertSync" "50-120"
   Option  "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
   Option  "RenderAccel" "true"
   Option  "backingstore" "true"
   Option  "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE"
   Identifier  "Card0"
   Driver  "nvidia"
   VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
   BoardName   "Unknown Board"
   BusID   "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

I'm running nvidia 1.0.8178 on x86, linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 kernel.

Hi,
Not very much but remember when compiled my first 2.6.15 kernel with
gensplash at the end as einfo was a message about gensplash being very
slow booting 2.6.15 kernels so added one additional option to Grub:
video=vesafb:mtrr:3 (from the einfo text).
But as i start w/o graphical login screen (XDM,GDM,KDM) can't test them.

The only thing I can thinl about this is: what version of Firefox are
you using (literally, which ebuild).

The early versions of Firefox (1.0.x to approx 1.5-r4) used the "mozsvg"
USE flag to enable firefox to load SVG images.

However, the Changelog says:

*mozilla-firefox-1.5-r4 (23 Dec 2005)

  23 Dec 2005; Jory A. Pratt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  +mozilla-firefox-1.5-r4.ebuild:
  canvas and svg now default

and indeed, the mozsvg USE flag is no longer available to firefox, but
my firefox seems to render svg images fine. I tested by going to

http://www.linuxrising.org/svg_test/test.html

and opening one of the images in a new tab.

http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20030813/svggen/styling-css-01-b.svg

I'm using Firefox 1.5-r9 (self-compiled, not the -bin).

So I'm not quite sure what your problem is, but it seems that it must
relate in some fashion to the specific version of FF (maybe you're using
a version that needed the USE flag, but you don't have it enabled).

HTH,
Holly

No no, don't take pity.  This is too good a chance to see busybox in 
action.  :)  Please report back how you are getting along.

Start with these:

busybox ln -s busybox /bin/ln
ln -s busybox /bin/install
ln -s busybox /bin/cp

Then try to emerge coreutils, and make more links for the things 
that are missing.

There's no requirement for ln being a symlink. Instead, you could
also copy busybox to ln - cp busybox ln.

Thanks Benno 

Yes, it's up-to-date and busybox is installed.  Never had the occasion to use 
it, but this could be the time. If some kind soul doesn't come up with the 
binary package (see other post) I'll be making the few dozen links I guess. 

Presmably this will get me back to where I can get coreutils emerged again ok.

Hi,
I have one (CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer")
Normal except ~x86 (all testing) system - coreutils-5.93: 2.1M.
Putting the binary here: ftp://ftp.qrypto.org (my router).
As emerge doesn't work (assume) put it in / (root dir) and run:
tar xjvf coreutils-5.93.tar.bz2 (ignore final warnings, that's service
data). Will take some 5-10 minutes.

Re: [gentoo-user] Lost my coreutils

Hi!

I compiled coreutils 5.2.1-r7 with your CFLAGS and only the NLS
USE-flag. Assuming you have gcc-3.4 installed it should work.

http://members.chello.at/martin-ullrich/coreutils-5.2.1-r7.tbz2

Just boot from a live-cd (e.g. the gentoo install-cd), and extract the
file with "tar -xjpf coreutils-5.2.1-r7" (adjust the command to fit
your needs).

If it doesn't work, tell me/us.

Hi,
Frankly don't know just added this to the rest so here's the whole line:
... vga=791 video=vesafb:mtrr:3 splash=verbose,theme:emergence
CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 quiet
This seems to be some kind of alternate config, used one like yours too.

Ah, but busybox does not have to be linked to the command names - you can do

busybox ln -s busybox ln

Any of the commands that busybox provides when linked/symlinked are available 
by just calling busybox with the name of the command as the first argument.

[gentoo-user] One host, two NIC's...

[Jeff]

Hey all. Linux question - I have this nice big dual Xeon server, with 
two NIC's. Where, how, when, why, can I configure this beast, not as a 
router, but just as a host with two ways to get in.


eth0 is 192.168.0.39
eth1 is 192.168.1.139

I would like to be able to associate both NIC's to the same hostname, 
'foo' - how is this accomplished?

BUS="scsi",SYSFS{vendor}="vendorname",SYSFS{model}="modelname",NAME="mobile%n",SYMLINK="%k"

Now everything works as expected.

I think that is useless. The only thing you have to do for unsubscribing
is visit www.gentoo.org if you can't remember how, go to Lists and read,
that's not so hard.

There are lots of people unsubscribing and subscribing, only a few ones
write here for unsubscribing, we cannot do anything against that.

But I'm against adding that to EVERY MAIL posted, that would increase
size, and that's not a power reason for increasing size that way.

Yes!  :)  What's the fun in taking binaries from others when you 
have busybox aboard, and it is there exactly for this purpose.

If you don't like trial and error, first make the link for cat:

  busybox ln -s busybox /bin/cat

Then cut and paste the previously given list of /bin/* to a file 
named 'list', and then make all the links in one go:

  cat list | while read name; do busybox ln -s busybox $name; done

And then emerge coreutils.  Much more interesting.

Tests should use ==. A single = currently works, but is incorrect and may

Try MainActor.

The SuSE rpm installs fime on gentoo, just emerge rpm

It's dependencies are:

libavc1394
libraw1394
SDL


then just install it with  rpm --nodeps

It goes nicely into /opt

I am not sure, but check what you do have in
/usr/portage/media-video/xine-ui . Just a few hours after my last sync I
have got just one ebuild - stable xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.ebuild

If you find it, check its contents - what keywords are there for
your architecture.

I see: KEYWORDS="~alpha amd64 ~hppa ppc ppc64 sparc x86"

If your arch has proper keyword, then look inside
/etc/portage/package.mask and search for xine-ui in
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
(grep xine /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask)

You may want to check other package.mask files in your portage profile
hirarchy.

Having said all this, I suggest you issue the command:
  emerge -pv xine-ui
as it usually, pretty verbosely, says what is going on.

Example:
  #  emerge -pv toxine
  These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
  Calculating dependencies
  !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "toxine" have been masked.
  !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
  - media-video/toxine-0.6.3 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
  # Diego Pettenò <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (18 August 2005)
  # Toxine needs to be verified with upstream for a few issues.
  For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
  refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

You do have the latest portage, don't you?

Hey all. Linux question - I have this nice big dual Xeon server, with

eth0 is 192.168.0.39
eth1 is 192.168.1.139

I would like to be able to associate both NIC's to the same hostname, 
'foo' - how is this accomplished?


Thanks much!


cd /etc/init.d/
ln -sf net.lo net.eth1
rc-update add net.eth1 default

vi /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=( "192.168.0.39/24 brd 192.168.0.255" )
config_eth1=( "192.168.1.39/24 brd 192.168.1.255" )

routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.0.1" )

If you want more than one gw you'll need to turn on advanced routing in 
the kernel and then add a routes_eth1 line as well.


In DNS I'd do something like this

server  IN  A   192.168.0.39
server  IN  A   192.168.1.39

eth0.server IN  A   192.168.0.39
eth1.server IN  A   192.168.1.39

And map reverse DNS to the eth0 and eth1 names as well. It'll make 
troubleshooting easier if you have issues later on.

[gentoo-user] Detecting when a USB device is attached

[James Colby]

List members -

I was wondering if anybody knew of a package or a method that I could
use to detect when a USB mass storage device is attached to my PC. 
What I would like to be able to do is to write a small script that
would mount my USB mass storage device, sync up a directory, and then
unmount the device everytime I plug my USB drive into the computer.

I know this isn't exactly a gentoo question, but my PC is running
gentoo linux so I thought that I would try to ask here.

Thanks for any suggestion that you might have.

Hrrm...  No idea why it's doing that...  On a secondary gentoo 
partition I've unmerged coreutils too, made all the symlinks, and 
am trying to remerge the package with:

  ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.0-r2.ebuild merge

And here too it keeps failing at different places all the time.

If you're still having fun, get yourself to #gentoo and ask there 
what to try next.

I assume you have not synced recently? I have only one ebuild, you have
three.
They are masked by keyword - and you have just said that in
xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.ebuild KEYWORDS contained 'x86', not '~x86'.

So, I feel some strange disturbance in force...

Just out of curiosity: try 'grep xine /etc/portage/*' ?
Have you set portage overlay?

It is not a separate package, it is a built in "virtual page" analogous to 
the /proc filesystem that apache creates on the fly to give you information 
about your webserver.

Sorry Nick, that is what I meant by "Does 127.0.0.1 work?". Should have been 
more clear.

Re: [gentoo-user] Xine-ui masked? [Solved]

[Daniel Pielmeier]

Thank you,

in one portage overlay i use there are three ebuilds

media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3
media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r2
media-video/xine-ui-0.99.3-r1

and they are all marked ~x86.

In the nomal portage tree i have only one ebuild

media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3

and it is marked x86.

I have removed the ~x86 media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.ebuild in the
overlay manually and at the moment i emerge media-video/xine-ui-0.99.4-r3.

then you may try this:

Option "NvAGP" "1" to "2" (1= nvidia agp, 2= agpgart)

It seems some people had problems with nvidia agp with these drivers and 
2.6.15.

Hope it helps!

Udev will take care of this. all you need is a udev rule that matches the
particular device and calls a script that carries out the actions you
want. See http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php for plenty on writing
udev rules.

Of course. 1.0.8178 is the latest release from Nvidia. It's not a beta,
it's just that the ebuild hasn't been marked stable.

Ebuilds from overlay are always ~arch, afaik. Overlays are not
considered "stable" for what seem to me to be obvious reasons; namely
that only the Portage tree itself can mark ebuilds as stable, and since
these ebuilds are not part of the "legal" Portage system, who is
supposed to judge? and secondly,  that overlay ebuilds, which could come
from anywhere, could never "out of the box" be considered "stable" -- as
in working-- by the official Portage tree (which is really just another
way of saying the first part).

Anyway,

as far as I know, this is the correct solution; the other point of an
overlay is that you keep an eye on it, and if an overlay ebuild does in
fact make it into the regular Portage tree, you should remove the
overlay build from the overlay and let Portage take over (since, if I
recall something that Neil said some time ago, overlay ebuilds will
always supercede Portage ebuilds if they duplicate each other,
version-wise). That's what works for me, anyway.

Well, insofar as it suggests a certain arrogance to consider one's own
wisdom so deathless that you'd attach it to every mail, even if it's
longer than the actual content of your response, thereby "forcing" the
recipient to read it (or at least accept a larger mail in their mailbox
despite any possible bandwith or message size hit that might entail for
the recipient), and insofar as a suggestion of arrogance does tend to
offend people ("who do you think you are??!!"), then Volker has a valid
point, though it might be considered more in the "rather sensitive"
group of possible responses, rather than the "average Joe", or
"indifferent". But some people are, after all, rather sensitive, and
they can be that.
