[gentoo-user] Bisect a problem going back months?
I'm wondering if there is a Gentoo way to bisect a bug that's crept into my 64-bit Intel-based system (Intel process, motherboard and graphics) over the last few months. Fundamentally when this bug appears it generates a complete X crash back to the gdm login. My suspicion is that it's related to the Gentoo push to use firefox-bin and 32-bit Flash until some security issues were addressed but I don't know that for sure. Are there specific overlays I'd want to add using layman that would allow me to get back to earlier versions of the Intel graphics driver, 64-bit Firefox and the now masked versions of Flash I was using say 2-3 months ago? At this point I don't know for sure that what I need isn't in portage and just masked. I'll start reviewing that this evening. This post was primarily just to figure out what my options might be. I've never used sunrise or sunset, etc. Maybe it's as easy as adding one of those to layman and then bisecting my way through some experiments to figure out where the problem first appeared? Thanks, Mark

You can use `equery d category/atom` to see if the package has any dependencies. Stroller.

I wouldn't expect people to run a Gentoo system with all packages on unstable. I tend to only select specific packages as unstable when I really need that version. I wouldn't be surprised to have to upgrade a substantial set of packages on a daily basis with that setting.

[gentoo-user] Some problems while migrating to 64bit
Hi,
(I did a emerge -e world with the "world"-file from my 32bit
system...)
my 64bit-root is finally up and running and X is up also.
Hurray! :)
But there some strange problems...
Sigh... :-{
1.) The fonts of mrxvt are microscopic tiny...my home and .mrxvt
remained the same. Are fonts not reported to "world" when emerged?
What are the basic fonts I need before buying new glasses?
2.) Mouse does not work. Hald is up, fdi-rules are copied from my old
system, /dev/input/mice is there, gpm (started for a test) sees
the mouse, xf86-input-mouse is recompiled, dbus is running.
What's wrong? X.org.log reports "no device defined for mouse"...
my xorg.conf does not define such...but it is the same xorg.conf,
which works under 32bit env.
So
3.) Keyboard behaves somehow strange. German Umlauts works, but "|"
does not...it performs something like a crazy backspace or so.
And a UNIX without a working pipe is not really making me happy...
4.) As someone already reports to the list: k3b does not find any
burner, cdrom, dvd-drive. /dev/sr0 exist and is linked to dvd.
I even can boot from dvd...
Somehow I "feel" dbus is guilty but this is more a paranormal
input ;) than anything related to system administration.
This did work with an older version of dbus on my old system.
But I cannot stay with this older version, since emerge claims
to need it for other installs
As always I will be very happy for help. Thank you very much in
advance!
Best regards
mcc

And as said previously, the "-l" option of emerge will tell you why an update was pushed into portage.

You can get old ebuilds from http://sources.gentoo.org, and maybe take whole portage tree snapshot from a given point in time (never tried it). Or maybe there are portage webrsync snapshots going back (again, never used them). If you have demerge installed it should have taken snapshots of which packages you had installed at each time you ran emerge as well. I think that'll still depend on those old versions still being in the tree, which for security fixes etc they usually are not kept, but all should be on http://sources.gentoo.org

I have seen this with other packages before. Keep in mind, portage is maintained by Gentoo devs so they could release a version, see something that isn't working quite like they want, make some changes and push them out for upgrades. I would much rather them do that than wait a couple days while people are using a "buggy" package. Only thing worse is to upgrade, then downgrade, wait a few days and have to upgrade again. My $0.02 worth. Dale :-) :-)

This is true, but not all packages I want are in stable, this forces me to unmask these. I also don't always want to wait for packages to become stable. What I currently have in "/etc/portage/package.keywords is: =games-strategy/x2-1.4.05 ~amd64 =games-strategy/x3-2.5.01 ~amd64 =app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-3.2.8 ~amd64 =app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-3.2.8 ~amd64 These don't have a large set of additional requirements. If they did, I wouldn't have upgraded to these. I also had "qt-creator" in there, but that one has become stable since. I'm still not clear how versions can be made to be marked "stable". -- Joost

This is something to look at. It seems at first glance it's roughly equivalent to what's on my system right now. For instance concerning adobe-flash I see only one small difference - the oldest 9.0.159 version differs shows up in eix on the machine but isn't at sources.gentoo.org. That's not bad. I believe you are right that I could probably somehow figure out by hand using /var/log/emerge.log what was installed after a certain date, or possibly figure out what version was running at a certain date. I wonder if there are any tools for figuring out the installed versions back in time. I don't save anything other than emerge.log and I don't know for sure than an old rev of that file was thrown away at some point and the file started over again. I suspect many ebuilds that I've used are no longer in sources.gentoo.org as almost certainly I used Flash 4.0, Flash 5.0, etc. sometime along time ago. Thanks for the pointer. Cheers, Mark What about really old

Thats why I use the output of tk0110-acpi-0. Live-example, taken at the same time: k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +19.0 C (high = +70.0 C, crit = +90.0 C) atk0110-acpi-0 CPU Temperature: +34.0 C (high = +40.0 C, crit = +90.0 C) This is a difference of 15 degree Centigrade inside the CPU. I would like to have THAT fan, which accomplish THIS delta... sigh... Also the "high" values are definitely VERY different... Science is the explanation, why somethingd does not work...

If you copied your xorg.config from the 32-bit world you might need to modify those by hand. 2) Invest in a copy of modules-rebuild. (It's free and in portage.)

Sigh... :-{
Yes, indeed.
1.) The fonts of mrxvt are microscopic tiny...my home and .mrxvt

What are the basic fonts I need before buying new glasses?
I have far more than I really use, but here is my list:

/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,
/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/
The corefonts are the standard MS fonts used in Windows, which I actually use.
2.) Mouse does not work. Hald is up, fdi-rules are copied from my old
system, /dev/input/mice is there, gpm (started for a test) sees
the mouse, xf86-input-mouse is recompiled, dbus is running.
What's wrong? X.org.log reports "no device defined for mouse"...
my xorg.conf does not define such...but it is the same xorg.conf,
which works under 32bit env.
xf86-input-evdev is the important driver these days, not keyboard and mouse.
(FWIW, I also have /dev/input/mouse0 in addition to 'mice')
Do you have that installed, and is X using it? hal discovers the input
hardware, but then evdev takes over after that. I have no Input Sections
in xorg.conf and evdev works perfectly without them:

does not...it performs something like a crazy backspace or so.
And a UNIX without a working pipe is not really making me happy...
4.) As someone already reports to the list: k3b does not find any
burner, cdrom, dvd-drive. /dev/sr0 exist and is linked to dvd.
I even can boot from dvd...
Somehow I "feel" dbus is guilty but this is more a paranormal
input ;) than anything related to system administration.
This did work with an older version of dbus on my old system.
But I cannot stay with this older version, since emerge claims
to need it for other installs
As always I will be very happy for help. Thank you very much in
advance!

File a stabilization request at bugs.gentoo.org If it's sufficiently tested, and there are no outstanding big bugs on the package, and if the arch maintainers agree, the devs will move the package to stable. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

I wouldn't expect people to run a Gentoo system with all packages on
unstable. I tend to only select specific packages as unstable when I
really need that version.
Usually the best "stability" is reached by running either full stable or
full testing (aka "unstable"). Mixing usually makes things worse. I
used to run a mixed system, but at some point it was clear to me that
this fscks things up quite often due to package versions whether ~arch
packages breaking with arch ones.
This is true, but not all packages I want are in stable, this forces me to
unmask these.
I also don't always want to wait for packages to become stable.
What I currently have in "/etc/portage/package.keywords is:
=games-strategy/x2-1.4.05 ~amd64
=games-strategy/x3-2.5.01 ~amd64
=app-emulation/virtualbox-bin-3.2.8 ~amd64
=app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-3.2.8 ~amd64
These don't have a large set of additional requirements. If they did, I
wouldn't have upgraded to these. I also had "qt-creator" in there, but that
one has become stable since.
I'm still not clear how versions can be made to be marked "stable".
After they go into testing and stay there for a month or two, someone
makes a request to put it into stable. AFAIK, this request can also be
automated.
The person putting it into stable is then required to sanity check the
package whether it can work with the rest of stable packages, since they
differ from the testing ones.
And that step is what makes a fully ~arch system more reliable then a
mixed one; because the package is known to work in an ~arch system, but
it's not known whether it works OK in a stable one. It's also a reason
why many devs don't accept bug reports if you're using an ~arch package
in a stable system; it's just too random and problems are expected.
With Gentoo, a stable system is supposed to work (obviously). An ~arch
system is also supposed to work (note that "testing" doesn't mean
"broken"; I try to avoid the term "unstable" when I refer to ~arch,
"testing" is the term that accurately describes what ~arch is.) But a
mixed system is not supposed to work ("not supposed" meaning no one is
trying to make it work or even testing it.)

OK, I've found out what's going on. I my layman.cfg I have: overlays: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/overlays/repositories.xml http://belak.sbboard.com/gentoo/overlay.xml The second line was added as per instructions in order to be able to use the belak overlay since it's not in the official layman list (at least it wasn't back then.) I totally forgot I did that :-/

Thanks James, I have not ticked the box that says "print to file" in Opera. In Konqueror the Output file is greyed out. Therefore assume that both applications should be sending the data to the printer ... The error file for Konqueror mentions pdf, but the Opera and Firefox show postcript: I [27/Jun/2010:11:29:28 +0100] [Job ???] Request file type is application/postscript. Do I now need more than the hplip driver perhaps? BTW, a second box (x86) can print from Opera, but the page has areas which are blacked out. Konq prints but always in colour even when I select greyscale and Firefox works fine. This all must have started a month ago or so. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
