Re: [gentoo-user] help with the dreaded mount: RPC: Program not registered

2007-09-22 Thread Emil Beinroth
Hi,
what version of portmap, nfs-utils and baselayout are you running? Have
you tried reinstalling those 3 to make sure the config files and init
scripts are up to date?

Please post the output of `rc-status -a` and `rpcinfo -p tobey`. They
might be helpful for diagnosing the problem.

And I guess you are using nfs3?

Cheers, Emil

[gentoo-user] New mobo and USB problems

2007-09-22 Thread David Relson
Greetings,

I've got a brand new ASUS M2A-VM HDMI motherboard, with AMD 690G
northbridge and ATI SB600 southbridge.  The on-board video is now
working (using the vesa driver) and DMA is working for the IDE drive.
Not yet working is USB.  As shown below, lspci reports ATI
Technologies SB600 USB, ASUSTeK Computer Unknown device 81ef.  What
kernel CONFIG is needed to support this chipset?

I'm running a2.6.22-gentoo-r5 kernel built for the AMD 64 X2
processor.  Below I've shown the active USB options in .config and
relevant output from lsmod and lspci -v. 

Thanks.

David

[gentoo-user] star

2007-09-22 Thread Florian Philipp
Hi!

I'd like to hear some comments on app-arch/star.

I've looked at its (IMHO really great) man page and didn't see anything
obviously concerning. Most frequently used tar options (-c -x -p -z -j)
seem to be in place.

What I'd like to know: Is it fully backward compatible to tar? Could I
safely unmerge tar and make a symlink from tar to star?

Thanks in advance!

 Today I upgraded tobey, and now nfs doesn't work.  Previously, it

 1)  mount -v /mnt/tobey on lotus returns
  mount: RPC: Program not registered
 
 2)  /etc/init.d/nfs start on tobey produces no output, no running
 nfsd daemons, and exit code 1.

that should be /etc/init.d/nfsmount start.  /etc/init.d/nfs is for nfs
server.  

you can run portmap and rpc.statd and then just mount your nfs
shares; you don't need to start the service at all. 

Additionally make sure the box is not  firewalling access to 'lo',
because it will need said access to use rpc.statd.

Turns out that star can't do star xzf -, it will say Can only compress

seems that it is not 100% comaptible.

Since gnu tar, bsd tar and star each are different, I would not unmerge the

You probably were not asking _too_ much. If you are dependent upon  
the system for your livelihood, I'd find somewhere else to host,  
since these folks sound like bozos.


IANAL, but if you have a contract with them there may be service

star supports p7zip which can be much better and especially more
flexible than bzip2, gzip and zip. Its other features (better
funcionality for acl, sparse files, recovery and backups among other
things) didn't sound bad, either.

If star were a fully qualified replacement for gnu tar, there would not
have been the need to keep it (and to produce possible inconsitency when
using both versions).

I used find and grep to search for any implementations of tar
compressing to stdout - I couldn't find any.

Although I don't trust my skills with regular expressions and the result
 of my test that much I'll do the following:
I'll move /bin/tar to /bin/gnutar and make a symlink from /usr/bin/star
to /bin/tar.

Let's see if it works.

[gentoo-user] Looking into zip files

Hi,
   I wonder if anyone knows of a GUI app that can display the
hierarchy in a large zip file - maybe hundreds of directories, tens of
thousands of files and a couple of gigs of zip - without actually
unzipping the archive and using up both time and disk space.

   Extra points for a program that can extract just a portion of the
zip file, like a single directory and its contents thus saving me disk
space dealing with this.

I don't know - bzip2 is very good at 'recovery' because only the affected 
block is lost.

and if p7zip supports pipes, you don't need its support in tar. Just pipe 
from/to it.



 If star were a fully qualified replacement for gnu tar, there would not
 have been the need to keep it (and to produce possible inconsitency when
 using both versions).

as you can see, you need to play around with pipes anyway when you use star. 
So switching just because of one compression algo and become incompatible 
with the way emerge unpacks packages sounds pretty stupid IMHO.

  Hello,
 
  As I have previously posted about, my host sent me an email a few days
  ago stating that support tickets for 5,000-6,000 of their clients had
  been broken into.  I checked my records and found that my root
  password had previously been submitted in a support ticket.  I then
  decided I needed to reinstall my system.
 
  I requested that my host allow me access to a second machine for 2-5
  days while I switch over to a clean system, after that I would turn
  the old system over to them and continue with the new system.
 
  My request was denied!  I'm blown away by this.  Was I asking too
  much?

 Would it be unreasonable to tell us who this host is?  I want to make
 sure I don't host any sites on their system; if they can't secure their
 work tickets, what makes anybody think they can secure anything else?

I'm taking a guess it's these guys:

[gentoo-user] Root NFS Kernel option

2007-09-22 Thread Bertram Scharpf
Hi,


there's just another kernel option I want to activate but
cannot find it:

  Symbol: ROOT_NFS [=n]
  Prompt: Root file system on NFS
Defined at fs/Kconfig:1758
Depends on: NET  NFS_FS=y  IP_PNP
Location:
  - File systems
- Network File Systems

How can I make the menu to show this up? The current configuration is:


  * NFS server support
  [*]   Provide NFSv3 server support
  [ ] Provide server support for the NFSv3 ACL protocol extensi
  [ ] Provide NFSv4 server support (EXPERIMENTAL)
  [*]   Provide NFS server over TCP support
  {{{ here it should appear I suppose }}}
  [ ] Support for rpcbind versions 3  4 (EXPERIMENTAL)


So all prerequisites seem to meet. What is still missing?
Arrgh!

Thanks in advance.

Bertram

[gentoo-user] Changing CHOST

2007-09-22 Thread David Relson
Now that my old AthlonXP mobo has been replaced by an AMD 64 X2 mobo,
it's time for upgrading CHOST :-

According to http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml after a
couple of changes to /etc/make.conf, i.e.

  from:
   USE=x86 ...
   CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu
   CFLAGS=-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe

  to:
  USE=amd64 ...
  CHOST=amd64-pc-linux-gnu
  CFLAGS=-O2 -march=x86-64 -pipe

The next step is:

emerge -av1 binutils gcc glibc

The emerge of binutils works fine.  However the emerge of gcc fails
with:

  In file included from .../gcc/unwind-dw2.c:257:
  gcc/config/i386/linux-unwind.h: In function
 'x86_64_fallback_frame_state': 
  gcc/config/i386/linux-unwind.h:63:
error: 'struct sigcontext' has no member named 'rsp'

A quick search of BGO didn't show anything relevant.

Any suggestions???

Thanks.

David

Changing CHOST is valid when you have e.g. an i386 CHOST and want to change it 
to i686. It is not an option for going from 32 bit to 64 bit. You need to 
reinstall. Also.. don't set x86 or amd64 in USE manually! And finally x86-64 
is not a valid march...

Below is what I did a few years ago.  YMMV.  There may be a better guide
on the Wiki or somewhere.

  I was surprised to find that in man bash the reference to initialization

  This part is taken from strace dump: strace bash -i

Hmmm. bash -i is not a login shell. An interactive shell doesn't 
read /etc/profile if it's not a login shell.

From man bash:

``When  bash  is  invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a 
non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes 
commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists.  After reading 
that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in 
that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists 
and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started 
to inhibit this behavior.

snip

When  an  interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads 
and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists.  This may be 
inhibited by using the --norc option.  The --rcfile file option will force 
bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.''
