[gentoo-user] emerge doesn't work after emerge-webrsync
Hello. Today I did an emerge-webrsync successfully, and followed the instruction to have upgraded profile to default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop. Then all portage related command stopped working. Example: emerson ~ # emerge -av hsqldb Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/bin/emerge, line 4049, in ? emerge_main() File /usr/bin/emerge, line 3768, in emerge_main settings, trees, mtimedb = load_emerge_config() File /usr/bin/emerge, line 3679, in load_emerge_config trees = portage.create_trees(trees=trees, **kwargs) File /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py, line 6780, in create_trees config_incrementals=portage_const.INCREMENTALS) File /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py, line 902, in __init__ addProfile(os.path.realpath(self.profile_path)) File /usr/lib/portage/pym/portage.py, line 889, in addProfile raise portage_exception.ParseError( NameError: global name 'parents_file' is not defined I am completely clueless because search for the error message only gets 3 google results talking about seeming unrelated issues. What information should I provide to get some help? I hope this information is useful: the output of emerge-webrsync, the last a few lines are like following (note I followed exactly the steps instructed at the bottom to upgrade my profile to default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop.)

Re: [gentoo-user] FIXED!! Re: Can't emerge xfce4 with installed lprng. But ran out of inodes. :-(
Hi Dale, on Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 03:44:54PM -0500, you wrote: How do you run out of inodes anyway? I use reiserfs for most partitions except /boot and portage. My /data partition has 75,000 files and 3,600 directories. No problems so far but not near as many files as you have. You can adjust the number of inodes to create at mkfs using -i, -N or -T which are just different ways of doing the same thing. Lowering the number of inodes wastes less disk space if you know you're not going to write many files anyway. This feature bit me once when I set up a -Tlargefile4 partition (i.e. one inode per 4 MiB of disk) for videos. As it happens, I had to misuse it for backups at some point and was very puzzled when df showed 3% used space but even touch gave me a no space left on device error. tarring the stuff I had planned to just copy solved it and would prolly have been faster in the first place :) cheers, Matthias -- I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

[gentoo-user] Sync'ing and compiling pkgs for multiple PCs
Hi, Below I explain my story, I show some difficulties and near the end ask a few questions, but last paragraph is my main question, comments on the rest is greatly appreciated. I have 3 computers and they are all setup the same with the exception of the kernel that has different options for the youngest of my pcs. I'm looking for a simple, easy and efficient way to keep them all up2date. I want to avoid 3 --sync to the gentoo servers. I have tried to setup one of my pc as central server and sync the others on it, but has the main disadvantage that the other PCs are dependant on it (ok, it's not so difficult to change make.conf). Then, I would have to compile approximately 3 times the same software. My computers are slow, I am poor, can't buy new hardware (FORGET IT). So I tried turning on buildpkg and compile on my fastest PC. I already use unison to sync my /home directory through ssh, i use it because it is simple and does exactly what I need out of the box. (Compared to rsyncd, where you need to setup a server, setup the firewall, what about security?...). Anyway, I decided to sync /usr/portage with unison as well, which worked fine and I had the binpkgs on the other pc. When I did an `emerge -k -uDN world` I found that many packages still had to be built. I extracted the list of packages and versions, formated properly and emerged them all on my fastest pc, ran through the same routine and at the end I had to recompile just a few packages that I let run (nothing like gcc or glibc, hehe). Now, with my unison technique I believe the only flaw was that I didn't have the list of all packages on all my PCs and I wonder if there is a way to generate such a list, similar to what `emerge -vp -uDN world` gives but in a format ready for emerge, so I can dump the pkg list for the 3 pc in 3 files and run emerge on those 3 files. I would compile them -1, which, as I understand it would upgrade my system (upgrade but not change world entries) and install unneeded packages around. I would then use --depclean which would remove the unneeded packages cleanly and finally revdep-rebuild. I would be left with my fastest pc's world up2date + all binpkgs of all 3 pcs. The advantage of my unison technique is it's transparent to any 3 pc, if a pkg is not there, it downloads the distfile from the internet and compiles it, completely independant. Just doing the --sync requires a little bit of consideration. I'm wondering if there is (i'm sure there is) a better practice in the compilation of binpkgs for use by multiple computers, so that none of the other computers will compile (quick update for them) and that the compiling computer can compile all needed pkgs in one run preferably. As usual, if you can answer my question directly on the mailing list that'd be nice, if you could give URLs to some documentation that answers my question that'd be very nice too! Thanks, Simon

Thanks, Simon I don't have time right now to answer all of your questions, but in terms of having all machines have the same list of installed packages, all you probably need is /var/lib/portage/world . This lists all of the packages that you emerged. I.e. those packages not brought in via dependencies. If you have the same USE flags set on all machines, then you should not see the need for new dependencies to be brought in on any of the non-compile machines.
[gentoo-user] sdl-perl
Anyone have a clue as to what would cause the following error: Install sdl-perl-2.1.3-r3 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-perl/sdl-perl-2.1.3-r3/image/ category dev-perl WARNING: Can't figure out install path for types: arch lib Files will not be installed. The package is already installed, so it succeeded at one time, but revdep-rebuild wants to reinstall it and it keeps failing. I believe the above is the issue, but I'll paste the full output from the installation attempt below. There is also this error: Error: 'GLint' not in typemap in OpenGL.xs, line 2099 but the process appears to continue after that and I don't _think_ that's causing the ultimate failure.

Hmmm, a simple cat of those three files then, simpler than my idea! And for the system I believe this depends only on the profile chosen, so this profile should be the same on each machine, or then I would have to generate the list of packages in each pc's system... I don't see why they should be different so this should not be a concern. Thanks!

[gentoo-user] Switching back to console
Hi list! For some time now (I seem to recall this not working a few weeks back ) I can't seem to be able to switch back to console from X with Ctr+Alt+Fn. Xev sees Ctr+Alt+Fn keycode as Fn keycode(don't know if this is expected behaivor or not). I can't the console to work neither from kde-svn nor from fluxbox. I have not defined no particular keyboard layout, I'm just using the default one. I have defined some key mappings for other keys, none of them involves F keys, and the behaivor is the same weather I use the mappings or not. Could you perhaps give me a hand with this?
