[gentoo-user] su hangs
I have pam_pgsql and libnss-pgsql installed. On one server su works
perfectly, but on the other one when I try to su (both, with and
without -l) it hangs.
Both are using systemd and the same kernel (they are same config
except # of HDDs).

Looks like it was because of nscd being disabled. I forgot to enable
it after transitioning to systemd.
[gentoo-user] Fwd: re: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule.
Apologies if you're getting this email for the second time. Gmail told me they'd failed to deliver my original email. So I thought I'd give it another shot. Original Message Subject:re: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule. Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2014 10:32:10 +0300 From: Alexander Kapshuk alexander.kaps...@gmail.com To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Howdy, I've seen this warning generated for a couple of packages lately. Messages generated by process 3353 on 2014-07-28 08:45:18 EEST for package x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.29: QA: install QA Notice: make jobserver unavailable: make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule. Messages generated by process 3391 on 2014-08-10 09:04:54 EEST for package dev-libs/openssl-1.0.1i: QA: install QA Notice: make jobserver unavailable: make[2]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule. Is this something that requires the user to act upon, or does it indicate a deficiency in one of the makefiles that came with the package? If I am reading the extract below correctly, it is the latter. https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Error-Messages.html 'warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule.' In order for |make| processes to communicate, the parent will pass information to the child. Since this could result in problems if the child process isn't actually a |make|, the parent will only do this if it thinks the child is a |make|. The parent uses the normal algorithms to determine this (see How the |MAKE| Variable Works https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/MAKE-Variable.html#MAKE-Variable). If the makefile is constructed such that the parent doesn't know the child is a |make| process, then the child will receive only part of the information necessary. In this case, the child will generate this warning message and proceed with its build in a sequential manner. Thanks.

Hi. I am trying to get into a google hangout and although my microphone works normally, the google talk plugin says microphone not detected. I am using gnome, firefox, and even the gnome overlay.

But, no, they had to break that. I lost ca 500k emails thanks to akonadi-crap and errors like that. I really loved kmail and thunderbird is garbage compared - but akonadi took away that choice.

[gentoo-user] sysV/openrc init script vs. systemd .service file
I maintain some out-of-tree Linux device drivers that have been around for yonks and ship with system V init scripts. There's an install script (or Makefile recipe) that attempts attempts to figure out where to put an init script and set up symlinks as appropriate. It's not perfect, but so far it has worked good enough. It doesn't work great with openrc [e.g. doesn't enable the init script automatically], but people seem to be able to figure it out. Now I've got a customer that runs systemd and reports that the init script doesn't work for some undefined value of doesn't work. I've pretty much always been a system V init guy and have only grumblingly adapted to openrc. [Insert crotchety old Unix guy ramblings here... blah blah version 7... PDP-11 blah DECwriter blah silent 700 blah blah ASR-33... kids these days... ad naseam.] Needless to say: I find systemd distasteful, but I've got customers who use it. So... I keep reading that systemd is compatible with system V init scripts, but documentation on how that works seems to be somewhat lacking and/or wrong. e.g. The upstream docs refer to using /sbin/system to run old-style init scripts found in /etc/init.d, but neither /sbin/system nor the /etc/init.d directory seem to exsit on the systemd machine that I'm testing with. I'm currently testing with Arch Linux, but I'm also going to set up a Gentoo/systemd system. I've also seen recommendations that one would be better off just doing it the right way and writing a systemd .service file. Any advice on whether it would be easier to use a common init script with sysV/OpenRC/systemd or to write a separate .service file? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow! Where's the Coke at machine?

Could that cause a compatibility issue? - Grant You can use something like Qualys SSL Labs[0] to test if anything breaks. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html Isn't it a browser compatibility issue though?

Nothing will break. Like you say they are virtual and contain no code
and deploy nothing. So your system will continue to function as it
currently does, and Portage will sort itself out when you next emerge world.
Unless of course portage wants to unmerge any of the providers that
satisfy the virtuals, and you say yes ... :-)

[gentoo-user] Lots of big updates...
Hi everyone, I haven't updated in a little while, and am seeing a lot of big updates... The main ones that concern me are: perl (5.16 5.18) mariadb (5.5.37 10.0.12) and of course, I always worry about: glib (2.38.2-r1 2.40.0-r1) glibc (2.17 2.19-r1) Anyone have any warnings/caveats about these updates? Especially the mariadb update? I'm thinking about masking that one for a while, just to be safe... Thanks

Note that some perl modules have disappeared in 5.18 but it didn't cause

If I am reading the extract below correctly, it is the latter. https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Error-Messages.html 'warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule.' In order for |make| processes to communicate, the parent will pass information to the child. Since this could result in problems if the child process isn't actually a |make|, the parent will only do this if it thinks the child is a |make|. The parent uses the normal algorithms to determine this (see How the |MAKE| Variable Works https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/MAKE-Variable.html#MAKE-Variable). If the makefile is constructed such that the parent doesn't know the child is a |make| process, then the child will receive only part of the information necessary. In this case, the child will generate this warning message and proceed with its build in a sequential manner. Thanks.

One other thing is that anybody using journald would probably appreciate logging to stdout. Forking with a PIDfile is actually a preferred mode of operation, since then you know it is ready to accept connections. Making sure the parent doesn't die is especially important if you do things like timer units (basically a systemd version of cron). I tended to fork off processes from scripts from cron and you can't do that with systemd unless the parent waits for all the children to finish. The better way to do it is just write multiple scripts and let them start in parallel. When a parent dies, the unit is considered done, and all its children are meticulously killed off. Rich
