If you have pam on your system, then it broken '/etc/pam.d/system-local-login' might be the cause, as well as user-specific files there. And if that's not the case, try commenting out pam modules like mod_access, which can add additional access restrictions. Also, you can probably tell if pam is the cause of a problem by commenting out all the required modules from whole authentication chain (usually, commenting out everything in system-auth will do) - it should allow any access w/o password, and it's probably not pam if it doesn't... can't really think what else it might be, though. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net

[gentoo-user] strange error during boot
Hi. I just upgraded a gentoo system from about August 2008 to current -- including updating baselayout and openrt and now when I boot I get a series of messages quite early in the boot modprobe: fatal /sys is not mounted. Eventually it does boot and all seems to work with the exception of the script for my hsfmodem, but I am curious as to what those message mean and if there is a way to fix them. Any assistance would be appreciated. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com

In general, I have made good documentation for how do install Gentoo on a MacBook, and it will be online in a couple months. I'm not actually that good with Gentoo, so there may be easier or better ways to do the things I do, but I am able to use all the MacBook hardware in Gentoo, so I'll tell you what I've done. (This is to say that respondants should be nice to me, because I'm not claiming this is gospel!) For the sound I did not have to do anything special for the MacBook, so I'll just give a run down of the things you should do in general (which I also did and found to work). Make sure you've gotten alsa-utils and alsa-oss from portage. Then make sure to run alsaconf, and that the daemon alsasound is started and in your default rc. If you update the kernel, you'd need to re-run alsaconf. For my 2.6.26 kernel, I have these ALSA configurations:CONFIG_SND=m;CONFIG_SND_TIMER=m;CONFIG_SND_PCM=m;CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=m;CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y;CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m;CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m;CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS_PLUGINS=y;CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y;CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=m;CONFIG_SND_SEQ_RTCTIMER_DEFAULT=y;CONFIG_SND_SUPPORT_OLD_API=y;CONFIG_SND_VMASTER=y For wifi I found that madwifi-ng in portage does not make wifi on my MacBook work; probably it's user error, but maybe not. But it's really easy to do it manually, though. Just get the drivers with subversion and install them, as follows: $ cd /usr/src # svn checkout http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/trunk madwifi $ cd madwifi # make # make install # ln -s /usr/src/madwifi /usr/include/madwifi Now, for updates in the source code, we need only: # cd /usr/src/madwifi && svn update Whenever you install a new kernel, you need to go to /usr/src/madwifi and make && make install again. If your touchpad is working and you can two-finger scroll then I'm guessing you got synaptics working, and now it's just an issue to set up specific details. xorg.conf configuration for synaptics is now deprecated, but a lot of the documentation for Gentoo on MacBooks is outdated and suggests you to do this. I've been a bit lazy about the switch to doing things through HAL's fdi policy, so some of my configurations, which I ported straight from xorg.conf, might be deprecated or unsupported. But in any event, my touchpad works, including things like two-finger click, scrolling, and so on. You can see it here: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Synaptics_Touchpad/Configuration In general, feel free to send me personal emails about MacBook questions. ~daid

Please, for future reference, try to avoid top-posting, it makes following conversations difficult. Try to keep your replies at the bottom of the email. According to that list, you need to add "-msse3" to your CFLAGS. Which makes sense as "-march=athlon-xp" is actually for an older CPU which didn't have sse3 support yet. -- Joost

Still very strange. Hmm... so, something does solve the problem you are seeing at the beginning later on. Did you update all the configuration files (including the ones in /etc/init.d/.. )? It could be that something there is not set correctly. For now, I am assuming the issue is in the boot-sequence/runlevel. Can you check which services are in your boot-runlevel? I have: bootmisc, checkfs, checkroot, clock, consolefone, hostname, keymaps, localmount, modules, net.lo rmnologin and urandom. Think these are the default ones. Do you use an initrd? If yes, did you update this as well? -- Joost

Because it is called 'pni'. How about this cflags: march=k8-sse3 -O2 -msse3 (in case march gets filtered) -pipe ? on amd64 fomit-frame-pointer isn't needed anymore.

Hello
thanks for helping me
as it seems the solution was easy - i had to put "flags(final);" parameter
and change a little order in config file and put:
log { source(src); filter(f_history); destination(history); flags(final); };
in the highest line in log section
and it works!
(the solution from syslog-ng group)
thanks again

The flags have been set like this since 2003 so I'm surprised that it might be something like this but it's clearly possible. I'm unqualified to say what part of the differences is making this set more aggressive. Line by line what's your opinion? -O3 vs -O2 ? -march=athlon-xp vs -march=i686 -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays not using -fomit-frame-pointer I would think that I should be able to also make the flags more aggressive on a passing machine and see the same failure, assuming this is the root cause. Strange taht after 6-years this would come up but stranger thing happen. Thanks, Mark

[gentoo-user] qt-xxx-4.5.0_rc1 conflicts
Being on ~amd64 after syncing, 'emerge -pvDuN world' command
shows plenty similar errors (for each qt-related package), one

It's the more that shows the problem. The lines here show packages that
are pulling in the latest version, you need to look for what is pulling
in the conflicting version.
My ~amd64 box just updated to qt-*-4.5.0_rc1 with no problem. There was a
problem with a missing patch file, but it appears unrelated and was fixed
by syncing.

mask all the qt 4.5 stuff. All of it. It will violently break everything.

BTW, for the OP, just need to enable USE=qt3support on qt-core.

it turned kde 4.2 in a complete crash fest (starting with kdmgreet making it
impossible to log in). beta was bad, rc1 was worse. And yes, I rebuilt stuff -
and after that I downgraded to 4.4. and rebuild everything again - and oh
look not one single crash since then - took only 6 hours of my life.

Looking at kde's blogosphere it looks more like a kde issue than a
qt-4.5.0's one.
Anyway, I don't have kde on my system and qt apps run just fine.

[gentoo-user] Commenting out multiple lines in vim
Hi there, I can find numerous references on the net to this behaviour: In vim, you can just select the rectangular region with Ctrl-v, then type "I#". This will insert # in each line at the same column. Very convenient. EG: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-May/084540.html http://hurley.wordpress.com/2007/06/13/vim-tip-comment-out-multiple-lines/ Yet it doesn't seem to work on any of my Gentoo systems. Is this something that is caused by a Gentoo-specific /etc/vimrc or has vim evolved? Any comments gratefully received. Stroller.

Couple of things to check: - you're running vim not vi or vim-tiny which has a bunch of behaviour removed. Ensure that syntax highlighting works for example is what I do to make sure. ESC :help will show your version also - ensure you're not running with the 'compatible' setting.

Some distfiles are hosted on mirrors not related to gentoo, others have no mirrors at all, leaving a single server to download from, so, I can't think of a reason to sync this specific folder, other than being a mirror yourself (is that the case?). -- Daniel da Veiga

Shells for each system user are defined in /etc/passwd, which should be edited by 'vipw' command. What I've meant is the case, when you, or something else changed '/etc/passwd', replacing '/bin/bash' with something like '/sbin/nologin' or some other path, which is not a valid shell. Actually, ssh shouldn't work with invalid shell like that as well, but one, for example, can add some commands to ".bashrc" which will work only in ssh environment (using some env vars, set by ssh, for example). Then, there might be some ssh-only shell, so I'd suggest to set shell to '/bin/sh' (which is actually bash, for gentoo) and disable all the configs it's using, like '~/.bashrc' or '/etc/bashrc' (see 'man bash', for full list). Also, Neil has made a good point that there might be something in /etc/profile, which is usually sourced by all bash-like shells. > I have checked the /var/log/faillog, which I'm not sure whether it's > the right log file, and seems it only contain binary data(I read it > from "vi /var/log/faillog"). Syslog usually uses '/var/log/messages' as a collector for everything that is being sent to it, so I'd check that file first. And make sure the timestamps there are recent - it should mean that syslog is writing to it and is not dead. 'dmesg' command is usually a good source for failure messages too, but only on kernel level (when something really nasty happens). There might be some segfaults, produced by your shell, and usually indicate programming or compilation errors. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net

Hi, here is the root infomation in my /etc/passwd:

In the /root, there is no .bashrc, and in other users' home, the
.bashrc is normal:
/***
$ cat /home/wcw/.bashrc
# /etc/skel/.bashrc
#
# This file is sourced by all *interactive* bash shells on startup,
# including some apparently interactive shells such as scp and rcp
# that can't tolerate any output. So make sure this doesn't display
# anything or bad things will happen !
# Test for an interactive shell. There is no need to set anything
# past this point for scp and rcp, and it's important to refrain from
# outputting anything in those cases.
if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
# Shell is non-interactive. Be done now!

Here is my /etc/profile, which I think is normal, too:
