[gentoo-user] Clock/Daylight Savings
Ever since the new daylight savings change, my clock hasn't done the "Spring Forward". I use ntp and the like, and it seems happy being behind by an hour. I can use the date command to set it correctly, but after the next reboot it's back to its old games. Pointers? R -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Hah, I thought `quickpkg automake` would only make a binpkg for the highest
version available. Turns out it handles all versions installed. So...
# emerge -peq system | sed -n 's|^\[ebuild[^]]*\] \([^ $]\+\).*$|\1|p' | \

This fails with portage >= 2.1.1 (iirc). Before that --emptytree caused all
packages to show up as New - i.e. as not installed. With portage >= 2.1.1
they'll show as installed i.e. U(pdate) or R(eplace)... `man emerge` for
details. And that's not the only thing that's flawed with that sed. It gets
the version that would be installed rather that what is installed...
This should work:
# cd /var/db/pkg && \
emerge -peq system | sed -n 's|^\[ebuild[^]]*\] \([^ $]\+\).*$|\1|p' | \
sed -r 's/-[^-]+(-r[0-9]+)*$//' | while read pkg; do

It's reinstall targets and all dependencies (indirect as well as direct). It
used to be pretend nothing is installed but it doesn't really do that anymore
(would result in stupid circular deps aborts even though the deps were
installed)...

[gentoo-user] List installed packaged for 'system'
Hello, short question: How can I list all the installed packages with their version no.s which belong to the virtual 'system' ? emerge -pe system ---> this is giving me the list of packages which are latest in the portage. I want the same list but what is actually installed. long story: I had installed the 2006.1 release on an i686 system. Few weeks later I just synced the portage (only) using a snapshot. Now using quickpkg i want to create the binary packages of 'system' and install it on an underpowered system. I got the following tip from this forum for that.. emerge -pe system|sed 's/\[ebuild N\] /=/g' > pkglist.out cat pkglist.out | xargs quickpkg But this fails because of the portage re-sync. Hence my question. Also from the man page --emptytree (-e) Reinstalls all world packages and their dependencies to the current USE specifi- cations while differing from the installed set of packages as little as possible. What is the real meaning of the term empty tree here? It is something more than including the dependencies ? thanks sathish

Many thanks, I'll try that. I'd never thought of this possibility. Is there an update-to-date documentation on udev-rules? Many thanks again, Helmut.

I seem to remember, that either sys-fs/ntfs3g or sys-fs/fuse would completely refuse to build, if in-kernel fuse was built. But checking out the ebuilds on the CVS, I can't seem to be able to back this statement I made. While we're at the topic of fuse - which version is more recent? The one in gentoo kernel or the one in the seperate package? Alexander Skwar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I never used genkernel, but if you have the kernel source tree available, you can just cd into it, adjust your configuration (using make *config), then do "make && make modules_install". Only the new stuff you added will be rebuilt and installed (ie, the fuse module in your case), assuming you did not delete the already compiled object files inside the tree. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

For in-tree modules, go into the kernel source directory, use menuconfig or whatever to set that configuration setting to 'm', make, make modules-install. (Or, at least, that's my preferred method modulo typos.) Changing kernel settings doesn't always require a new kernel image; here's a table (please view in a fixed width font.

In all honesty, it's probably not absolutely "unsupported". Switch your SATA controller to compatibility mode in BIOS, don't care for DMA, and it will probably happily work.

As an Open Source project, ANYONE can build a new, unofficial image that supports brand new hardware. They don't need to wait for the full releng cycle of testing on all packages. Perhaps. But as I discovered late last year, being able to build an image that supports your hardware is kinda impossible when you can't even install Gentoo onto it in the first place using the images available.

How is any of that relevant to the minimal install CD? GGC, Portage, etc. come from the stage tarball you install. All the install CD does is boot the system - you can use any livecd for that. What is really needed, is updated stages. Exactly. I linked GCC and Portage to the minimal CD because all the docs and the numbering scheme itself link the stages file with the minimal CD image. If the minimal CD is gentoo/releases/x86/2006.1/installcd/install-x86-minimal-2006.1.iso, then the stage is gentoo/releases/x86/2006.1/stages/stage3-i686-2006.1.tar.bz2. I cannot tell if it is easier to brake this 1 to 1 relationship and modify the docs or to just rename the CD image to the new version if there are no changes to it. I agree that any livecd can be used to boot the system (I used Knoppix). Thus it is possible to change the minimal CD numbering radically, for example, base it on the kernel number since it normally increases as new hardware support is added to Linux. The CD will be install-x86-minimal-2.6.21-rc6.iso, and the stages will be numbered and updated independently. I do not know if this will cause problems with the live CD or not. -- Andrei Gerasimenko -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] kernel net eth1 but no eth1
Hi, I hope someone can help. I've configured a 2.6.20 kernel manually (as I have done hundreds of times) but this time for a machine which has an Intel E1000 network adapter. When the kernel boots 'dmesg' shows that it uses this driver and calls it 'eth0', initially. But lateron, since the machine is connected to a 100MBits ethernet (only), it switches to 100 MBits but renames itself to 'eth1' . So I have no 'eth0' but only an 'eth1' device. Manipulating some files in /etc/init.d, the network comes up just fine. But I fear there are some (commercial) software packages whose license manager looks for 'eth0'. How can I make the kernel bring up 'eth0' instead of 'eth1'.

This will annul any entries for dev-java packages you already have in
