This is a work laptop and the Ubuntu side is productive right now, so gentoo is my spare time conversion, and only after I have it doing everything the Ubuntu install does, can I muck up Ubuntu.

I haven't connected the UPS yet so I'm still using my old UPS and nut software. It has a Linux version on the CD but no mention of Gentoo, just rpm and deb. I tried to install this once before and I never got the software to work right. I think it was the init scripts that caused trouble. I looked at the nut website and it says the new UPS uses usbhid-ups which appears to need to be connected to the UPS by USB. I'll try the serial cable first, see what if anything it reports, then try USB and see if it reports the same thing. The old UPS uses powerpanel drivers within nut. That is sort of confusing since they call the Linux drivers the same as the windows software. Looks like I'm going to have to test this to see if it works or not. If it does, may need to report it to the people on the nut website. I would prefer serial if it works the same myself. Thanks much. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...

ROFL Dale :-) :-) grub2 is a completely rewritten animal, so it is *different* grub2-install /dev/sd?? is the incantation to put grub2 onto the selected boot partition. Then /etc/default/grub grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg is the incantation for making the basic configuration. If you have multiple installations on disk, emerge "os-prober" to bring in the detection of "foreign" operating systems. This creates the grub.cfg file, which prominently features a "DO NOT EDIT" warning at the top of the file; rank beginners are advised to edit /etc/defaut/grub if that can make the changes you want, but more advanced users can edit the grub.cfg to achieve desired results. For example, my grub.cfg has the default entry for my preferred OS to boot, and then has entries that bing in other configuration files for various other situations. I've got two Gentoo collections, the Fedora collection and the Windows7 config. the grub2 "info" pages are complete but a little dense and not as well organized as they might be. Good Luck. -- G.Wolfe Woodbury

Please excuse my brevity. Ooops. I thought I put the model. It's a CyberPower 1350AVR. My old UPS is a CyberPower 1250AVR but it is about 10 years old. I have one working plug left on the back of it. I literally wore the plugs out. lol According to the book, and the box, the new one uses powerpanel which is the same as I use on the old UPS.

[gentoo-user] UPS and serial or USB connections
Howdy, Newegg just had a sale on a really nice UPS. I got one. Anyway, it has both serial and USB connections. I have a question about these. I could use either one but not sure if it matters. Does the USB connection offer any additional features over the serial connection? I could use USB but would rather use serial since nothing else I have is serial but I have a bit of USB devices. Also, I never disconnect the serial cable from either the system or the UPS when either is in use. Sort of defeats the purpose I guess. Since it also has screws to make sure the serial cable doesn't come undone, the serial has one advantage. I'm not sure what would happen if it looses the connection all of a sudden. Does it do like NORAD and assume power is out? lol So, since I already have everything set up for serial connections, should I just keep using it or does the USB have more goodies? Thanks.

[gentoo-user] new machine : a few small queries
I've got my new machine basically habitable with a few small problems. (1) In Fluxbox, Gkrellm insists on starting on Desktop 1 ; on my existing machine with the same config files, it starts on Desktop 8 . There must be some setting somewhere which has got changed. (2) Luxi Mono is not coming out cleanly in Gvim or (Xfce) Terminal : IIRC there's a pkg or a setting somewhere to fix it, but I can't find it in my extensive notes from the past. (3) I have 4 heat sensors in Gkrellm : 'k10temp' + 3 * 'it87'. Can anyone suggest which bit of which device each is measuring ? The AMD Bulldozer X4 FX-4170 4-Core 4,2 GHz is taking c 3/8 as long to compile eg Firefox or GCC as this machine's Intel Core2 Duo ; they also seem to be using less Portage tempspace on disk. The variable-rate fan is very impressive, ranging 2200 - 6800 rpm . -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

The cause was an omitted driver, which was a side-effect of switching from an Intel to an AMD mobo. This machine has a Core2 Duo CPU & my .config for Kernel 3.4.0 has # USB Host Controller Drivers ... CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=y ... # CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD is not set ... CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=y ...

So with a Core2 Duo & a mobo with only USB 2.0 , UHCI is enough ; for my new AMD Bulldozer X4 FX-4170 4-Core 4,2 GHz , UHCI doesn't work, but EHCI or XHCI take care of the 2.0/3.0 port, where the mouse works : to be able to use the mouse in the 1.1/2.0 port, OHCI is needed.

Or put "sys-libs/glibc splitdebug.conf" in /etc/portage/package.env, and
"FEATURES=splitdebug" in /etc/portage/env/splitdebug.conf. The CFLAGS

When I try to compile gentoo-sources-3.5.3, it tells me scripts/mod/empty.c:1:0: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set My home system is dual Athlon, ancient, and ~amd64.. I haven't kept track of all the Intel processors, but the kernel config doesn't have many choices.
[gentoo-user] How do I determine the processor type?
I have a shiny new System76 laptop with a "3rd Generation Intel Core i7-3720QM Processor (2.60GHz 6MB L3 Cache - 4 Cores plus Hyperthreading)". It comes with Ubuntu, so naturally my first move was to split the Ubuntu partition in half and install gentoo. I will say no more about my first experiences with Unity. The Ubunto uname -a says "3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:52:48 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux". I installed the latest stage3 tarball and set up make.conf as ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" When I try to compile gentoo-sources-3.5.3, it tells me scripts/mod/empty.c:1:0: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set My home system is dual Athlon, ancient, and ~amd64..

What the other posters said, except that you shouldn't add "splitdebug" in
your make.conf. If you do that, it will affect all packages.
What you do instead is put this text into /etc/portage/env/sys-libs/glibc
(yes, it must be a text file, not a directory):
CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -g"
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} -g"
FEATURES="${FEATURES} splitdebug"
I'm fairly sure (I could be wrong) that splitdebug doesn't cause -g or
a derivative to be added to CFLAGS. Hence why I have "-ggdb" in my
CFLAGS.
That's why added "-g" above. Having it in CFLAGS by default slows down
compilation (with some packages dramatically, like webkit.) I only
enable it for splitdebug.

I'm fairly sure (I could be wrong) that splitdebug doesn't cause -g or
a derivative to be added to CFLAGS. Hence why I have "-ggdb" in my
CFLAGS.
(All in make.conf. Given splitdebug, I haven't heard a solid reason not to.)

No, it's a FEATURE ;) . It even says as much in the emerge output. It's
explained in the mentioned bugs and of course in the man pages portage(5) and
make.conf(5).
But to summarize: as a valgrind user myself I have FEATURES="${FEATURES}
splitdebug" in /etc/portage/env/sys-libs/glibc.

Nope, it goes in make.conf as a feature -- see the man page for more
details. Mine is
FEATURES="${FEATURES} -stricter -distcc -ccache splitdebug"

Actually not, splitdebug is not a USE-Flag but rather a FEATURE of the package manager. See [1] and [2] for explanations. [2] actually show how to enable splitdebug _just_ for valgrind.

Re: [gentoo-user] dev-util/valgrind-3.7.0-r4 and glibc
No, it's not a typo - you have to add splitdebug to FEATURES variable in /etc/make.conf (or /etc/portage/make.conf). Splitdebug is not a USE flag.

It's not a use flag. It's a portage feature that's added in make.conf. Just add 'FEATURES=splitdebug' to your make.conf.

Hi, I'm trying to generate an ebuild for mldonkey-3.1.3 from version 3.1.0 in a "x86_64" machine. To manually compile de project I have to export LDFLAGS="-png15" before running ./configure the problem is that I don't know how to export it inside the ebuild, I've tried with "append-ldflags -lpng15" in different places but, that doesn't seem to work. Does anybody have an idea? Regards. -- Alexandre Paz Mena

It works here with sshfs-fuse-2.4. Maybe it is because the directory lives directly under /? Try mounting it in a directory inside $HOME, and see if it works that way. Unfortunately, this doesn't work either. It seems to be related to a recent kernel as others have similar problems with fuse reported elsewhere. Thanks, Helmut.
