[gentoo-user] Providing virtual dependency net
I have added rc_net_wlan0_provide=net to /etc/rc.conf, but scripts like sshd still wont start, and when executed report WARNING: sshd is scheduled to start when net.eth0 has started. Why does sshd appear to be specifically requiring net.eth0? (or is the message misleading?) How do i get net.wlan0 to also provide net?

[gentoo-user] xfig won't compile
I cannot emerge xfig. Both versions (amd64 ~amd64) return that informative
message:
* Messages for package media-gfx/xfig-3.2.5b-r2:
* ERROR: media-gfx/xfig-3.2.5b-r2 failed (compile phase):

* The specific snippet of code:
* emake CC=$(tc-getCC) LOCAL_LDFLAGS=${LDFLAGS}

So:
- known bug ?
- tip available ?
or should I fill a bug report ?

First you should post the error itself, not just the portage report that
the build failed. You should find ir in
/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/xfig-3.2.5b-r2/temp/build.log
If you cannot isolate the error yourself you could send the entire build
log (or upload it to some paste-site).
After you did that we could try to figure out, what exactly the error is
(and maybe help you).
Otherwise you could file a bugreport (where you should attach the
build.log nonetheless)

[gentoo-user] Old ATI Radeon RV350 driver broken after system update
Fellow Gentooers, although I am very happy running a Gentoo box, sometimes I bump into some difficulties, esp. when updating packages. This time I am having a hard time reconfiguring my video card, which was fine but is not anymore after the last system update I've made. Gnome session goes up as usual but the resolution is not fine and monitor complains about not being in the recommended mode. My video driver is an ATI Radeon 9600 (RV350) and somebody has already updated the section on the Gentoo wiki http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Radeon#Kernels_.3E.3D3.0.0 informing that there might be incompatibilities concerning the RV350 firmware. I just don't have enough understanding of the video related parts of the system to tweak and fix this issue. How should I proceed when I have a problem of this sort? How do I know what is the video backend in my system? Is Xorg the only one possible? What can I do to fix this problem? Regards, depoisdasdez
[gentoo-user] Share /home with Gentoo and Ubuntu
Hi, I'm a new gentoo user (coming from ubuntu). I've been proving to myself that I can do everything I need with gentoo on a secondary laptop, and after a few weeks, I think I've got it (svn repos, AVR cross compiler, multiple screens, etc). I much prefer gentoo to ubuntu, and would like to put it on my primary laptop. But I think I should leave an ubuntu installation on there just in case. I'd like to have gentoo, ubunu, and win7 alongside each other. How feasible would it be to have gentoo and ubuntu share a /home partition? I've never had a reason to have multiple linux installations on a single machine before, but I can't think of a reason why this wouldn't work. .bashrc might need a few more lines of code. .screenrc and .exrc would be fine. My ssh keys can be shared. What would happen to .mozilla if ubuntu and gentoo are running different versions of firefox? What other issues might I run into? Alternatively, is there a way to keep gentoo's and ubuntu's hidden files separate and link or map them to ~ at boot? Randy

For a made-up example, suppose Gentoo bumps XFCE to 4.12 and Ubuntu is still at 4.10. XFCE will upgrade all of its config files in ~/.config, and the next time you boot to Ubuntu, things will probably crash. I've had the same problem from time to time on a smaller scale with LyX, GTK, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. You can work around it fairly easily, though. Just mount all of your version-independent stuff separately, under ~/Documents or whatever. Or never go back to Ubuntu =)

Randy okay.. have that done myself in the past first make sure that the user id is the same in Ubuntu and gentoo. You might run into trouble with firefox, chrome, gnome, kde because of different versions - might not will. But you will see some errors because of it at some point.

Another potential solution is to use symlinks to map the OS-dependent files to the right places. Or you could make /home/username be OS dependent, with another OS independent volume mounted somewhere, perhaps /home/os_independent. Then you could make symlinks inside /home/username/Music to /home/os_independent/Music and what not. This might be a pain, but it would bypass that problem. -- R

I had the same problem. Since openrc was not in my world file (pulled in

emerge -Duv world including deep dependencies. This caused updating
net-tools and openrc at the *same* time without any errors.
Indeed, I was doing emerge --update expecting the behavior of
emerge -Du. The later works much better.
Thank you (and all others who replied).

Re: [gentoo-user] Providing virtual dependency net
I wish I could offer something helpful here, but the issue of network dependencies has been a thorn in my side for a long time (e.g. if I have PostgreSQL listening on localhost, why is it stopped with eth0?) Funtoo fixed the design by letting services depend on specific interfaces, but as far as I know Gentoo (and the other major distros) will leave it broken for the forseeable future.

Let me just say that I don't have rc_net_wlan0_provide=net in /etc/rc.conf
on any of the 8 Gentoo boxen running on this LAN atm. And rc-status | grep
sshd reports sshd [started] on every one of them. Two are using wifi and
therefore wlan0; the other 6 are wired and use eth{0,1,2}.
What have you done so far?
Tell us about your setup. Is net.eth0 and/or net.wlan0 and/or sshd started
with your services?
rc-status | grep net
rc-status | grep sshd
