The simplest thing is to change your path environment variable in your .bashsrc so its always the same, no matter what the user is, that would solve your problem. -- Your life is like a penny.

Did you load the speakup-soft module during boot using /etc/modules or maybe /etc/conf.d/modules or whatever the correct name is? This should get the module loaded and if using espeak, you execute that command, maybe in your rc.local or some convenient place and you should be good to go, provided alsa is working. No worse than other distros. I have speakup built into the kernel and use a hardware synth, so I am a bit better off, but you should still be able to get things going. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] kernel bad scheduling from idle thread
Hi. I am getting a very bad problem on my new kernel that I did after my last update. It gave me the following sequence over and over for a while, and then stopped with the messages, but the system crashed. I then went back to my old kernel which had been working for more than a month and got a couple of the same traces, but I hope its stopped, so I can write this message. A google search finds nothing relevant. Here is what I get: Oct 13 02:34:40 ccs.covici.com kernel: bad: scheduling from the idle thread!

You don't need to do that, you can unmask anything depending on the reason. Didn't the autounmask option fix your problem? You can also use the 5.4.66 stable version. Also, even in 5.8.13 speakup is still in staging and I did a search and found it in drivers/staging/speakup, so you can certainly try that or whatever version of 5.8 you have. -- Your life is like a penny.

Since I compile most packages with split-debug and my default flags
contain -gdb, could I use the existing packages?

I always get this error, but the flag indicating which driver is being
used still works, so I have not paid too much attention to this one.
I do have a running system with /lib/modules and the error still
occurrs.

[gentoo-user] problems with installing zfs-kmod under new kernel
Hi. I am having problems installing zfs-kmod on my new kernel 5.4.69. Originally I got this: !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: sys-fs/zfs-kmod:0 (sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc3:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" ABI_X86="(64)" pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) (sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" ABI_X86="(64)" pulled in by ~sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc1 required by (sys-fs/zfs-2.0.0_rc1-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="nls pam rootfs (split-usr) -custom-cflags -debug (-kernel-builtin) -libressl -minimal -python (-static-libs) -test-suite" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_7 -python3_6 -python3_8" ^^ It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. Then I masked off the -rc3 version thinking that would help and I got this: !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: sys-fs/zfs-kmod:0 (sys-fs/zfs-kmod-0.8.5:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" ABI_X86="(64)" pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) (sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="rootfs -custom-cflags -debug" ABI_X86="(64)" pulled in by ~sys-fs/zfs-kmod-2.0.0_rc1 required by (sys-fs/zfs-2.0.0_rc1-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="nls pam rootfs (split-usr) -custom-cflags -debug (-kernel-builtin) -libressl -minimal -python (-static-libs) -test-suite" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_7 -python3_6 -python3_8" ^^ It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected.

If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. So, how do I fix -- I was thinking of uninstalling zfs-kmod, but was afraid it would delete from my running kernel (4.19.144) or some other fcatastrophe, so I thought I'd ask here first. I am on the zfs-discuss list and a few months ago they were talking about a necessary patch to install in 5.4 kernels because of not exporting some symhbols as well. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com

I have truncated the output a bit, you usually don't need the config
log. This sounds like a bug in the package, you might try
bugs.gentoo.org and see if you find anything. Also, you might want to
go to the ~ tre -- I have no trouble compiling, but I have version
10.35 which is much newer than what you are trying to compile.

[gentoo-user] problems running emerge @module-rebuild on new kernel
Hi. I am having problems doing emerge @module-rebuild to update my kernel to linux-4.19.144-gentoo. I copied my previous .config from 128-gentoo, did make oldconfig then did make bzimage, modules and modules_install without problems. So, I then tried to do emerge @module-rebuild and got strange results. I get when emerging wireguard endlessly repeated lines like the following: # Do not try to update included dependency files and when I try to emerge sys-zfs/zfs-kmod it hangs on checking on whether modules can be rebuilt. I thought it might be some kind of permission question, but updating all directories in the kernel tree to o+x, or even changing the ownership of the entire tree to portage.portage, but no joy.

[gentoo-user] problem getting wifi card to route to internet
Hi. This is not strictly a gentoo problem, but I would like advise
from people on how to get my wifi card to see the internet.
On my new box I have the following card:
00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9560
[Jefferson Peak] (rev 10)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9560 [Jefferson Peak]
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Now, I wanted to serve other computers with this device and so emerged
hostapd. Then after some configuration fooling around with
/etc/hostap/hostapd.conf, I got things to the point where the card
comes up and is seen by other devices.
I set the device up on its own network at 192.168.3.1 by using the
following unit file:
[Unit]
Description=Network Connectivity for %i
Documentation=man:ip
Before=network.target
Wants=network.target
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/network@%i
ExecStart=/bin/ip link set dev %i up
ExecStart=/bin/ip addr add ${address}/${netmask} broadcast ${broadcast} dev %i
ExecStart=-/bin/bash -c "test -n ${gateway} && /bin/ip route add default via
${gateway}"
ExecStart=-/bin/bash -c "test -f /etc/conf.d/postup@%i.sh&&/bin/bash -c

ExecStop=/bin/ip addr flush dev %i

Definitely unmount, the sectors sometimes don't write to disk for quite a while, and your unmount should take a few seconds to more than a minute and so unmount and wait till it returns, and then remount and see what happens. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] zoom not responding
Hi. I have installed net-im/zoom and I am on version 5.0.398100.0427 but when I try to run it, I get zoom not responding every time. I looked in bgo, but nothing like this is showing.

I'm excited to see how you do. I use gentoo with speakup (with a hardware synth) gnome and orca all the time and it works well. I compile my kernels and have speakup built in so that I can get the earliest possible speech, but you may not want to do this. My system is more complicated since I use zfs, but that is the great thing about gentoo, you get lots of choices. So, if you like mate, you can use that, if you like gnome you can use that, etc. Gnome requires you to use systemd, so be warned. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

I did something like this a few months ago, I first got the tarball, did an immediate update, copied a lot of /etc, particularly /etc/portage, but not some things like package.use, because I wanted to let it redetect them, and did parts of the world file at a time, not all at once, because I had some crud in the world file which I wanted to be sure I got rid of.

[gentoo-user] incron not working
Hi. I have not used incron in a while and when I tried to use it today, it did not execute the commands.

[gentoo-user] correct tool to use odbc with mariadb
Hi. Several months ago, I replaced mysql with mariadb, mostly due to strangeness with connectors and other emerge problems. Now, I am down to trying to get odbc working. I cannot build myodbc-8.0.17 because I get the following error, at least this seems to be the first one: /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h:53:18: error: conflicting declaration `typedef uint64_t my_ulonglong' 53 | typedef uint64_t my_ulonglong; Is this the correct app, or is there another one I should be using for odbc to mariadb databases. If this is the correct app, any ideas on how to fix? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

I believe you, its something to do with those macros and if you look at your successful compile you will see instead of errors it will say RES_USE_INET6 is depricated, but it will continue, wish it would do that in mine. -- Your life is like a penny.

Thanks for your response. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the accessibility infrastructure, I tried emerging those separately, but no joy on doing that.

So now I have the following error: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libatk-bridge-2.0.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format So, the package for that file seems to be correct, it has two files of the same name in /usr/llib and /usr/lib64 which are different. It looks like gtk3+ is picking the wrong file or something -- if anyone has an idea as to how to fix, it would be great. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

[gentoo-user] problem changing to 17.1 profile
Hi. Well, I was finally able to do the change of profile tothe 17.1 profile. I have gotten all the way almost to the end of this process to the final step where itwantsto emerge all the 32-bit packages. I am about two from the end of that list and trying to emerge x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.32-r1 andI have run into this problem: libtool: link: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -mtune=core2 -pipe -ggdb -Wall -Wl,-O1 -o decompose-bits decompose-bits.o -Wl,--as-needed /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so -lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so: error adding symbols: file in wrong format collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Now, I re-emerged dev-libs/atk which contains the offending library, but no joy. the gtk package is pulled in by several other packages, so I cannot remove it.

In the case I see before me, depclean wants to unmerge
dev-util/glib-utils -- its not in my world file, but if I do
qdepends dev-util/glib-utils I get

Well, this didn't seem to work, when I tried to emerge -n @kernels it said nothing to emerge, after the calculating, etc. and it certainly did not work. Also, depclean did some other strange things -- on another system I have it wanted to unmerge dev-util/glib-utils-2.58.3 which is my installed version, but doing an eix on that package, there seems to be an update.

Hi. After a long time, I got my system into a state where I could finally try to do emerge depclean. What a mess! It would have deleted source for my running kernel, version of postgresql I am using and many other things I am currently using.Some of them, at least are in my world file. Some things are not and should be and I can fix those, but there are a lot of libraries as well and I want to make sure my system is not completely hosed before I run this again -- next time after an update.

[gentoo-user] problem with named restarting
Hi. I am having a very annoying problem with named. I am using
net-dns/bind-9.14.4 which I actually updated from a previous version
which also had the problem. It seems that an assertion has failed:
Sep 17 03:10:53 ccs.covici.com named[1857864]: resolver.c:4917:
INSIST(dns_name_issubdomain(>name, >domain)) failed, back
trace
There is a back trace which I can supply if that would help. There is
also a coredump.
Also, when I restart named (which I have now done automatically by
systemd) it gives me a lot of errors like the following:
Sep 17 03:11:59 ccs.covici.com named[3299910]: validating arpa/DS: no
valid signature found
or this:
Sep 17 03:12:00 ccs.covici.com named[3299910]: validating com/DS: no
valid signature found
I am just caching only, this box is not the actual resolver for my
domain.
Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

[gentoo-user] Chromium on linux, build question
Hi. I want to have Chromium on linux, but I want to build the Chrome OS version, so I can have their version of the accessibility plugin which is called Chrom next. I did not see any use flags, so how can I do this on gentoo? I am using the unstable version of gentoo. It is my understanding that this can be done on Debian and other distributions. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com

I think its a zfs issue because I use the same dracut in both cases. I will also ask on the zfs list and see what they say. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

OK, so I successfully did build 0.8.1, but it does not like my root file system parameter, dracut chokes and puts me in an emergency shell and I have to mount it manually. I tried root=rpool and root=rpool/root which dracut completely said unable to continue and if I omit the root= altogether like I have done in previous versions, it says it can't mount the root file system, and throws me into the emergency shell where I can mount it manually. I do have rpool/root designated as rootfs. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com
