Not tested: Boot a Gentoo LiveCD, create a coreutils binary package with
quickpkg, mount your root fs, set ROOT environment variable to that
mount point, install the binary package into your system.

If the last step fails, you could also just unpack the package with tar,
but that wouldn't give you any package information.

BTW, what does the name _core_ utils tell you? *SCNR*

I just built a new box (previous one's motherboard fried) and decided to
 just start from scratch with gentoo ~x86.  Tried the 2008.0 beta 1
liveCD but it didn't like my gpu (nvidia 8600GTS) so just did a stage3
install via ssh from another box using the system rescue cd and the most
excellent gentoo documentation.  :-)

The only hassle was after the second emerge --sync, the
/usr/portage/profiles/releases directory disappeared, preventing emerge
from working.  It took two additional tries at emerge --sync to get the
directory back.

Have fun,

Boot off a LiveCD somehow. Use one that has a fairly recent coreutils on 
it, and merge the coreutils pkg onto your actual system on disk. You 
will have to mount your disk-based system somewhere convenient and tell 
portage off the LiveCD to use that as the ROOT system to merge to.

Next time portage tells you that unmerging something in system is a very 
very very bad idea, you should take it seriously.

That's been my thoughts until recently.  I just built a system using a
Q9300 (45nm quad core) and decided to give OC a try.  Bumped the clock
from 333MHz to 400MHz causing the CPU freq to increase from 2.5MHz to
3.0MHz.  DDR2-800 memory not OC'ed.  Core temps under 4 core 100% load
using burnP5 only increased from 71C to 73C.  This was with stock Intel
heat sink/fan/thermal paste (just the way Intel wants it).  I just
ordered a XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 to lower these.

IMO, it looks like the Intel 45nm processors have some easy OC headroom.

YMMV.

Have fun,
Roy

Re-emerging the package after booting into the fixed system will cure
that. In fact, you should emerge coreutils again anyway as the one for
the CD will be built with the wrong USE and CFLAGS.

That's not the default. The default is a bright grey (on a white
background or whatever you have - background isn't set in Knode).

> Who on Earth wants these things to disappear when read? 

I'm fine with the default. I don't care that much about read
threads. I actually like, that the default for unread threads/articles
is black. This way, they stand out more, which I really like, as
it draws attention to unread threads/articles first.

No clue, but here something good was going on in the mind of

ought to show a bunch of ssh-agent stuff.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Universal PPC ISO size?

2008-04-16 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi,
   I'm going to put Gentoo on my Mac Mini. No one ever uses the
machine for anything. So much for OS X I suppose. Anyway, the 2008
beta, located here:

http://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/ppc/2008.0_beta1/

is 745MB which doesn't fit on 700MB CD-Rs I have. Are there CD-Rs
larger than 700MB? I looked online anf everything seemed to be 700MB
also.

   Or am I supposed to write this to a DVD even thought the Gentoo
docs say it's a CD-R image?

Thanks,
Mark

I remember seeing and using 90-min (800MB) and even 100-min (900MB) CD-Rs 
in the past. Of course, don't expect them to work on every CD reader. My 
experience was that 800MB CD-Rs worked with most, but not all, CD 
readers. The only 900MB CD-R I ever wrote filling it completely was not 
readable by any CD reader among those I tried.
Don't know whether they can still be found nowadays, now that DVDs are 
readily available.

Tested :-( :
Get 2008.0.beta1 Cd (K3B & ftp work on such a crippled system).
Boot on it. Mount system's / and /usr partitions and cp from CD's /bin and
/usr/bin to their equivalent on mounted partitions the following missig cmd:

basename, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot, cp, cut, date, dd, df, dirname, du,
echo, env, expr, false, groups, head, hostname, kill, ln, ls, mkdir, mkfifo,
mknod, mv, pwd, rm, rmdir, seq, sleep, sort, stat, stty, su, sync, tail, tr,
true, wc, yes on /mnt/gentoo/bin.


cksum, comm, csplit, dirclors, expand, factor, fmt, fold, fs, hostid, id,
install, join, link, logname, md5sum, nice, nl, nohup, od, pasteshred, shuf,
split, sum, tac, tee, test, tsort, uniq, unlink, uptime, users, whoami, who on
/mnt/.../usr/bin

Once done, reboot on the original system and you're back on business!
first thing to do :
emerge coreutils

This process at least worked for me on my amd64 system.
PS:
1- the list of cmd show why unmerging coreutils makes a mess
2- I'm not sure all above cmds are needed to emerge and compile. But I
considered faster to copy them all than iterating the boot-on-CD boot-on-system
process.

Have a great time!

So there are two that are out of ideas.

It seems there are two strange things:

- ssh agent env.var is pointing to the wrong directory.
- nothings reading from the ssh pipe in the wrong directory.

Strange, isn't it?

BTW: The lsof command I ran was correct, wasn't it? I'd expect
that it would've shown a command which had /tmp/keyring/L12w0n/ssh
open.

Either

or

$ scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:'/src/dir/This is the name of it.txt' /dst/dir

depending on who's local and who's remote, should work.

There are 800MB-models.

Anyway, you can also try to burn more on a disk than it is supposed to.
Don't ask me why it works, sometimes it does, sometimes you waste a

Thanks. I'll check that out.

Do you know if it's legal to write a CD-R iso image to a DVD? I assume
it isn't (Guess I could just try it when I get a few minutes.)

In the short term the easist thing to do was to download the 2007.0
iso as it doesn't have this issue since it's smaller.

Thanks,
Mark

[gentoo-user] scp escape characters

2008-04-16 Thread Mick
Hi All,

I was trying to scp a file which had spaces in its name; e.g.

This\ is\ the\ name\ of\ it.txt

But scp would fail each time saying that the name is ambiguous (or
something similar).  I also tried enclosing the name in 'single', or
"double" quotes, but it wouldn't have any.

What's the right way of doing this?

Both boxen running gentoo and I was using bash shell.

I tried it in my zsh, with TAB-completion (means: I typed "scp
remote_host:~/Fil"), and it gives this:

scp remote_host:~/File\\\ with\\\ blanks

And, of course, it copies the file just fine :-)

HTH...

There is a problem ‒ it unescapes at both ends, so you need to
double-escape it, like

'Filename\ with\ spaces'

or

Filename\\\ with\\\ spaces.

Or, something like that (if I see it right).

Thanks guys, I'll try it next time.  Just one thing:  if the spaces
need to be escaped at both ends, shouldn't it have just 2 \\, why are
you showing it with 3 \\\ ?

I'm in the process of installing a new box, last night before going to bed I

It's escaping the first slash and the space:

'\\ \ '  -> '\ ' -> ' '

It's very bad. It indicates file system corruption on the ReiserFS. In 
my experience, I have never seen this to be followed by a clean 
recovery.

You can try reiser.fsck with --rebuild-tree (after suitably enough 
research and googling) and see what gives.

Sorry for the bad news.

it is a seagate. Harddisk problem is VERY probable. You posted a lot of

your filesystem got damaged. Your kernel might be in Lalaland dancing with the

or cooling is f* up.

not really. Since the system is hosed anyway, dmesg first (maybe save the 
output on a different device). Then try sysrq-keys (alt+printscreen+e,i,u,b). 
Boot from cd, check fs. Check harddisk with smart.

the best alternative is to check what went wrong, but since Seagates are known

I suspect the cables. You could also blame the controller but bad cables

Looks like there's two rules pointing to the same
device:

# PCI device 0x10de:0x00df (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTRS{address}=="00:e0:18:99:88:77", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x10de:0x00df (forcedeth)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:13:8f:33:32:e2", NAME="eth1"


>From a forum I learned to rm the link eth0 in
/etc/init.d and make a new one, eth1 that points to
net.lo. So now the ethernet is up but there's still a
lot of complaining on the boot console, "can't find
eth0" etc.

BTW I was wrong about mii, forcedeth *is* the
appropriate module. The confusion arose because I was
expecting eth0 to be set up.

They are different devices, notice the MAC addresses, but in the same PCI
slot. Have you changed cards at some time. The easiest way out is to
delete the file and let it be recreated for the card you now have.

This may be untrue, but from what I've see that's the way it goes
w/OC'ing; Intels have room to be overclocked and AMDs don't.  The OP
overclocked an AMD processor which I've always heard is a bad idea.

[gentoo-user] OT: envelop printing

2008-04-16 Thread James
Hello,

I have a nice HP CP3505 color printer that works fine with cups. It has a 
place for envelops. I run KDE 3 series desktops.

What is the best printing software to create to/from addresses on #10 envelopes?

Maybe the ability to add some pastel background images on select envelops
would be cool?

Nope but since it is an "unknown or illegal alias" rather than 
an "unknown user", I'd venture the guess it's a temporary 
configuration error. Before taking drastic measures like kicking him 
off the list, I'd advise to wait a day or two. They might get it 
fixed.

You're right - didn't fix it :)

It seems to me, as if some daemon or whatnot is not started.

It would be interesting for me, if any other Gnome users have
this problem as well. If not, it would be interesting to see
what daemons you've got running. The lsof output would be
very interesting!

I run ssh-agent by hand on occasion.  Other than that I don't run any

[gentoo-user] Circular dependencies when USE=gnome and emerging world

Hello.

I'm installing a new machine and use 2008.0_beta1 i686 stage3. I
use the 2008.0/desktop profile.

When I do "emerge -DuvatN world", I get an error to the effect,
that there are circular dependencies. Please see below. 

I'd like to know, if anyone else ran into this problem and how it
got solved. At the end of the message, you'll also find emerge --info.

I'd try the merge world without setting USE="gnome" first, and then
later enable it by putting gnome in your /etc/make.conf USE setting.  If
you want to be more clever about it/save some time, you can try to
figure out the problematic packages and just temporarily disable gnome
on them via /etc/portage/package.mask/, but that may not be much more
efficient than the first option.

[gentoo-user] Firefox: password field

2008-04-16 Thread Norberto Bensa

Hello Everyone,

here's a cosmetic one.

I use Firefox (3b5) on KDE (3.5.9) Password fields appear -in both  
versions- as asterisks "*"


Using Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) I've noticed Firefox uses circles in  
password fields. Is that an Ubuntu patch or some obscure configuration  
option?


Thanks in advance,
Norberto

Also try globally disabling the doc use flag in your make.conf,
USE=-doc.  I hit this problem the other day and googled this solution.

Most likely the stars and asterisks difference is because your 2 desktops
are using different themes.
(Or one of the desktops uses a modified theme by the same name)

OT it annoys me that Ubuntu brands their symbol in Konqueror's busy icon,
etc...

Never was a card. This is an on-board ethernet, just
as previously. More background: this is a new mobo and
new video card but the same cpu. 

The new combo booted fine, everything mounted but
needed to be tweaked, naturally. 

I took the opportunity to replace the 2.6.20-r6 kernel
with the 2.6.23-r6

Somehow, the OS(udev?) still thinks it's using the old
ethernet plus the new one...guessing here.

I noted also a broken runlevel with regard to net.eth0
which I deleted.

Hopefully that's the fix. Should know next boot. But
doesn't explain(at least to me) why eth0 is now
defunct. If all I have is one ethernet port, doesn't
that default to eth0?

[gentoo-user] Kernel Panic Troubleshooting when machine is not avaiable directly

2008-04-16 Thread Hieu, Luu Danh
Hi,

I've been having kernel panics on a not-so-regular basis (server was
running fine for 30 days, then had a panic, again fine for 2 months or
so then panic'ed again). Problem is, the machine is far away and I
don't have access to the screen. So far I've changed syslog-ng to
record emergencies not to /dev/tty8 and console(root) but to files


destination emergency { file("/var/log/emergencylog"); };
destination else_all { file("/var/log/evrelse"); };
(...)
filter f_emergency { level(emerg); };
(...)
log { source(src); filter(f_emergency); destination(emergency); };
log { source(src); destination(else_all); };
#line above ends all the log statements so it's basically a catch-all


Is this enough to record the msg dumps when it would panic again?
Also, I have no idea as to what's causing it, since it's so irregular.

I'm running Linux undine 2.6.23-hardened-r7-undine
(Just had to recompile kernel and tried to fix around stuffs + remove
the things I didn't need hoping it'd be the panic cause)
grsec is enabled and logs most things, with most security enabled
(minus the parts for TCP connections)
PaX is also enabled

No, not if that name is already in use, the message "udev: renamed
eth0 to eth1" is the consequence.

Udev renames the device, so every config file referring to eth0 showed 
up errors. If you now delete the file that fixes net names the card 
will take first slot and be named eth0.

You'll have to take back that runlevel link.

gnome is in the desktop profile of 2008.0.

You mean package.use, don't you?
