I have a segment from the regular logs not in reverse order, but I think
it will go from start to end of gdm service.  I will put it somewhere
and update the thread a bit later today.

Thanks for the hint --I have no ~/.gnomerc-errors -- I have a
.Xsession-errors, but it never told me anything useful.

I may try your other suggestion next time I have the courage to boot
into systemd.

I've spent many frustrating days fighting the "oh no" syndrome and I
found two very annoying workarounds before I gave up on gnome3.

First, the file ~/.gnomerc-errors may give you some good hints. Many
of my "oh no" moments were caused by broken xorg 3D rendering support,
i.e. broken video drivers, etc, etc.

Second, many other "oh no" moments were caused by $SOME_MYSTERIOUS
item in ~/.config or ~/.local suddenly rendered erroneous by a gnome3
update.

I found some of those problem items by renaming those two directories
and starting with a completely blank gnome3 slate.

If gnome-shell starts okay with the new tabla rasa then you can copy
the old .local and .config subdirectories one by one into the new gnome
environment until you can reproduce the original breakage.  Repeat as
needed.

  Heads-up... Lennart has the ears of the Gnome developers.  Recent
Gnome will not work without systemd... period... end of story.  If you
stay away from systemd, you'll have to stay away from Gnome.

[gentoo-user] iOS and Linux

2014-05-23 Thread Hunter Jozwiak
Hi all. I enabled the ios use flag in make.conf, but what is the
proper proceedure to mount the device so I can bring over my music? I
am using Gnome; I'd imagine I'd have to emerge some kind of extension
for nautilus. The device in particular is an iPod fifth gen, running
iOS 7.1.



[gentoo-user] about to give up on systemd and gnome

2014-05-23 Thread covici
Hi.  Well, I thought I was making progress with systemd, but my gnome
session kept saying "oh no something has gone wrong" and would not
work.  Also, after such a thing has happened, all my consoles would keep
using the last line to put every line and so I had to keep rebooting.
And when I would reboot systemd would not behave the same way, sometimes
it would hang at certain places, and sometimes it would go all the way
through, but things would not start properly -- maybe a concurrency
problem, but its hard to say what was going on.  What a mess, but I
guess I have a setup which systemd does not like, too much parallellism
and no way to get things to start in the order I want them -- or at
least none I could figure out!

I am open to suggestions here, and I have a log segment I can put
somewhere to illustrage the "oh no" problem, but I am getting tired of
the mess and if I can find something which works with orca I will do
that instead.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Yup.  Upon reflection the whole script can be replaced by:
emerge -uvD --changed-use --color=n --with-bdeps=y --quiet-build
--buildpkgonly  --keep-going world | col -bx | mutt -s "world update"

That will give you a decent report of what is new, build binary
packages, do it in parallel, and not recompute dependencies for every
package.

[gentoo-user] Intel(R) C600 SAS Controller

2014-05-23 Thread Stefan G. Weichinger

Greetings,

I have a new Fujitsu TX150 here, with a

Intel(R) C600 SAS Controller

and an LTO4 drive attached to it.

My kernel has support for isci, scsi tape, ahci and all the sas stuff
... but I don't get any "st" devices.

Do I need SCSI_PROC_FS set? I just wonder ...

thanks, Stefan
