[gentoo-user] Could not set interface mon.wlan1 (hostapd)

[gentoo-user] how to get data::util on gentoo
Hi. I was trying to install the JIRA-client from cpan, but it wants Data::Util and I can't find it in gentoo anywhere.

[gentoo-user] Fwd: [gentoo-dev] eudev project announcement
-- Forwarded message -- From: Richard Yao r...@gentoo.org Date: Dec 14, 2012 10:59 PM Subject: [gentoo-dev] eudev project announcement To: gentoo-dev-announce+subscr...@lists.gentoo.org Cc: gentoo-...@lists.gentoo.org gentoo-...@lists.gentoo.org, gentoo-proj...@lists.gentoo.org Dear Everyone, I am pleased to announce the Gentoo eudev project. Many of you already know about the eudev project from early publicity that we had before things were ready. Despite that, I hope to take advantage of the official announcement to explain what we are doing, why we are doing it and what it means for you. I have broken the announcement into subsections, each with a title for ease of reading. Why fork udev? Earlier this year, udev upstream was absorbed into systemd. udev often breaks compatibility with older systems by depending upon recent Linux kernel releases, even when such dependencies are avoidable. This became worse after udev became part of systemd, which has jeopardized our ability to support existing installations. The systemd developers are uninterested in providing full support in udev to systemd alternatives. These are problems for us and we have decided to fork udev to address them. You are a Gentoo project. What does this mean? Gentoo as an organization is quite similar to github, although it is exclusive to Gentoo developers. Our rules permit all Gentoo developers have the ability to start a project and such projects are entitled to be hosted on Gentoo infrastructure. This by no means constitutes official endorsement by Gentoo's governing body and we have no authority to dictate the future direction of Gentoo. We do have the ability to provide an alternative to Gentoo users, which we fully intend to do. eudev will be by no means exclusive to Gentoo. We will handle bug reports from users of other distribution in the same way that we handle bug reports involving Gentoo. This will be much like other Gentoo-hosted projects such as portage and OpenRC. What is your project's license? The systemd developers were in the middle of a transition to the LGPL from the GPL when we forked. We inherited the code in the middle of that transition and we see no reason to pursue a different course. Therefore, all future changes that we make to eudev will be available under the LGPL. What are your project's goals? Our primary goal is to address the problems with systemd-udev that caused us to fork it in the first place. In particular, we want better compatibility with existing software such as OpenRC and Upstart, older kernels, various toolchains and anything else required by users and various distributions. We also want to minimize regressions and work with developers of other distributions (and components used by them) to address issues. How will you minimize regressions? We intend to maintain HEAD in a releaseable state. All minor changes require review from one eudev developer and all major changes require review from two eudev developers. This does not include the author. In addition, we intend to require commits to make logically independent changes with descriptive commit messages to make regression hunting easier when regressions do happen. These rules were not enforced at the beginning, but we are transitioning toward enforcement. They will enter full effect once we tag our first release candidate. How do you intend to work with other distributions? We have our repository on github, which is known for easy collaboration. If a distribution developer identifies a problem with eudev, they can file an issue and we will do our best to resolve their problem. If they wish to work with us to resolve it, we can talk in IRC and they can also file pull requests. Provided that the changes are not entirely unreasonable (e.g. pushing an init system into udev), we are willing to work with authors of pull requests to get them into a mergeable state. The only hard rule is that changes cannot break the ability of existing systems to upgrade. We also plan to make an official mailing list, which will be hosted on Gentoo infrastructure. Will you make the boot process faster? We have ideas on how to make udevd faster. However, people usually only notice the time that udevd takes when there is a bug and we are more interested in fixing those bugs than we are in shaving milliseconds off boot time. There are plenty of areas that could use attention by people that are interested in a faster boot process before udev becomes one of them. We consider things such as a reliable boot process to be more important than speed and we are willing to subject users to the additional few hundred milliseconds that failing to tweak things for speed incurs. We are already dealing with regressions that the systemd developers introduced in their attempt to make things faster and we consider fixing them to be a priority. However, we

Can NUMA be either enabled or disabled when using more than one physical CPU, or is it required? NUMA is a hardware architecture. It's how you access memory on a hardware level: NUMA = Non Uniform Memory Access vs a UMA architecture of typical (old/legacy) SMP systems (UMA = Uniform Memory Access). In a UMA system, all the memory belongs to all the sockets. In a NUMA system, each socket has it's own local memory. In modern (x86-64) processors, each socket has it's own memory controller so each socket controls its own local memory. If one socket runs out of memory it can ask another socket to lend him some memory. In a UMA system, no socket has to ask since memory is global and belongs to all sockets so if one socket uses up all the memory ... the rest starve. In NUMA, there's more control over who uses what (be it cores or RAM). If you have a modern dual or quad (or higher #) socket system ... you've got NUMA architecture and you can't get rid of it, it's hardware, not software. So I must enable CONFIG_NUMA for more than one physical CPU, and disable it for only one physical CPU? Yup. But ... Why would you want to disable a socket (CPU)? If you disable a socket (CPU) ... you lose the memory attached to that socket (CPU) not to mention you lose those cores ;) Sure but it sounds like if my system only has one CPU socket, CONFIG_NUMA should be disabled. I read this in make menuconfig: The kernel will try to allocate memory used by a CPU on the local memory controller of the CPU and add some more NUMA awareness to the kernel. For 64-bit this is recommended if the system is Intel Core i7 (or later), AMD Opteron, or EM64T NUMA. To be sure I have this right, I should disable CONFIG_NUMA on any system with a single physical CPU, even if it's an AMD Opteron? - Grant Disable it. You only have one memory controller.

[gentoo-user] reboot: something renaming sub-directory in /var/run???
Hi Gentoo-users, I have strange problem: Something is renaming /var/run/teamspeak3-server into /var/run/teamspeak3 in every reboot! Maybe it has something to do with udev/openrc/baselayout2, I do not know. This is what happens: I installed teamspeak3-server-bin. It creates (appart from other files/dirs) /var/run/teamspeak3-server for pid-file as it can be found in /etc/init.d/teamspeak3-server: start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \ --pidfile /var/run/teamspeak3-server/server.pid snip I can start stop server as usually and everything works as expected, *as long as I do not restart server*. If I do, after reboot there is no /var/run/teamspeak3-server, but only /var/run/teamspeak3. Now when I try to start ts3-server, it complains: start-stop-daemon: fopen '/var/run/teamspeak3-server/server.pid': No such file or directory Now what the hell is going on? What (and why?) is renaming /var/run/teamspeak3-server into /var/run/teamspeak3 during every restart? /run is on tmpfs but I think it should be saved restored during restart without any change or lost, or am I wrong? Something is apparently broken, but I do not know what... Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists! Everything else is considered to be spam and therefore deleted.

If so, and if you don't mind using the same settings for all network interfaces, have a look at /etc/dhcpcd.conf, which has an option option ntp_servers. I'd guess that disabling this would do what you want. Actually, you can use /etc/conf.d/net to turn off receiving NTP configuration for just one interface, if you want. The `dhcp_IFACE` parameter takes several values, one of which is `nontp`, which will do exactly that. For example: config_eth0=dhcp dhcp_eth0=nontp When you find the net.example file, you'll find that documented under GENERIC DHCP OPTIONS, about midway through the file. Regards, -- ♫Dustin
