[Pau Peris]

Hi,

thanks to all for your questions, this issue is also happening to me on a
fresh install so i'm pretty sure a package/lib is missing.

Hope someone can get out a clue. Thanks. :)

[gentoo-user] kde splash screen won't show up when loading kde

[Pau Peris]

Hi,

i've just upgraded kde through a custom @set, the same i used over the last
years, but this time although kde-base/ksplash is installed kde splash
screen does not appear anymore while loading kde.

Do someone know which single package could i missed? Thx :)

Re: [gentoo-user] Raid system fails to boot after moving from 2.6 kernel to 3.5

[Pau Peris]

Thx a lot Paul,

this morning i noticed there was some kind of issue on my old initrd which
works fine for 2.6 kernels, so created a new initrd which works fine and
let me to boot into GNU/Gentoo Linux with same 3.5 bzImage.

Gonna check if the issue came from mdadm, thx :)

Hi,

thanks a lot for both answers.

I've just checked my kernel config and CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC is not setted
so gonna take a look at it all with "set -x".

Thanks :)

[gentoo-user] Raid system fails to boot after moving from 2.6 kernel to 3.5

[Pau Peris]

Hi,


i'm running GNU/Gentoo Linux with a custom compiled kernel and i've just
migrated from a 2.6 kernel to a 3.5.


As my HD's are on raid 0 mode i use a custom initrd file in order to be
able to boot. While kernel 2.6 is able to boot without problems the new 3.5
compiled kernel fails to boot complaining about "no block devices found".
After taking a look at initrd.cpio contained scripts i can see the failure
message is given by mdadm tool.


Does anyone has a clue about that? Thansk in advanced. :)

The following lines creates an auditWorldFile.log log file which will
show packages requires by other packages, so theones you can safely
remove.


#!/bin/bash

n=`wc -l /var/lib/portage/world|awk '{ print $1 }'`;

[gentoo-user] Re: Fakeraid + lvm + openrc questions

[Pau Peris]

After further investigation can say, although i'm not using lvm, the
following command is able to pupulate /dev/mapper/*

/sbin/vgscan --mknodes --config "${config}" >/dev/null

the command can be located at /lib64/rcscripts/addons/lvm-start.sh
which is called by /etc/init.d/lvm start

Really strange as i'm not usinglvm, so the command complains "No
volume groups found".

Also noticed that lvm is able to communcate with device-mapper through
/etc/lvm.conf:

# Whether or not to communicate with the kernel device-mapper.
# Set to 0 if you want to use the tools to manipulate LVM metadata
# without activating any logical volumes.
# If the device-mapper kernel driver is not present in your kernel
# setting this to 0 should suppress the error messages.
activation = 1

Don't know if that's why it's able to create the nodes. Any help?

[gentoo-user] Fakeraid + lvm + openrc questions

[Pau Peris]

Hi, i'm currently running Gentoo on a RAID0 setup on some Sata disks
using a Jmicron chip from an Asus P6T board. I'm using a fakeraid due
to dualboot restrictions. My whole Gentoo system is on the raid0
device so i use an initramfs to bootup. I've been running with this
setup for some time, but since i migrated to baselayout2+openrc i
didn't understand why i need /etc/init.d/lvm to start at boot as i
have no lvm setup. Today i was doing some research and some questions
appeared:

* Every where says i need "<*>   RAID support -> <* > RAID-0
(striping) mode" in kernel for fakeraid to work, but my system still
boots while disabling those options, are they really needed? i don't
understand why it is supposed to be needed. (Is it only for mdadm
usage?)

* Is "SCSI device support -> <*> RAID Transport Class" option needed?
What is supposed to do? I think raid features are provided by jmicron
driver and kernel understaands how RAID works due to "Multiple devices
driver support (RAID and LVM) -> <*>   Device mapper support ", isn't
it?

* Last question is, after migrating to openrc i noticed that lvm2
package provides device-mapper tools to manage the array, but i do not
want /etc/init.d/lvm to start at boot as i do not use any lvm setup, i
just would like to get /dev/mapper/ correctly populated using
something like dmraid -ay. I've tried removing lvm from boot and
adding device-mapper instead but /dev/mapper is not populated. How
should i proceed to get rid of lvm script and /dev/mapper populated,
do i need /etc/dmtab to work? Then why would one want to use mdadm
instead of device-mapper, which are the advatges/disadvantages on each
other? i know mdadm needs an optional /etc/mdadm.conf file to work,
and using mdadm one could stop/start the array, add more disks to the
array etc But do mdadm need a boot up script to work?

As you can see i'm a bit confused about what's best/suits best mdadm
or device-mapper and why are those kernel settings needed. Thanks a
lot in advanced :)

Re: [gentoo-user] symlinks + rsync backup

Running the command you posted above gies the same result. Links on
the new location are pointing to the absolute path old location.

[gentoo-user] symlinks + rsync backup

[Pau Peris]

Hi, i'm doing a backup of a windows installation using rsync.
Everything is working fine except for symlinks, the problem is that
symlinks are taking absolute path so they're going to be broken as
soon a paths get changed. look at the example:

$ ls -la /mnt/rsync/vista/
wxrwxrwx 1 root root   4096 nov 11 17:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root  5 nov 20 12:10 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 56 mar 24  2009 Archivos de programa ->
/mnt/vista/Program Files
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   4096 mar 24  2009 Boot
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 333203 ene 21  2008 bootmgr
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root   8192 mar 24  2009 BOOTSECT.BAK
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 nov  2  2006 Documents and Settings ->
/mnt/vista/Users
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 171136 sep  4  2009 grldr
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 171136 sep  2  2009 grldr.bak
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root  0 jun  1  2009 Jocs
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 904704 dic  1  2006 msdia80.dll
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   8192 oct 27 17:03 ProgramData
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   4096 sep  6 21:58 Program Files
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   8192 oct 11 16:43 Program Files (x86)
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root  0 mar 24  2009 RaidTool
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root  0 mar 27  2010 $Recycle.Bin
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   4096 mar 24  2009 System Volume Information
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   4096 mar 24  2009 Users
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root264 nov 11 16:23 Windows

The symlink   "Archivos de programa -> /mnt/vista/Program Files" is
wrong, it should point to the relative path, something like "Archivos
de programa -> Program Files". rsync is called this way:

rsync -aERPv --progress rsync://localhost/Windows-Vista-backup /mnt/rsync/vista/

Do someone know which should be the correct options to create clone
backup without breaking permissions neither symlinks? thanks in
advanced :)

[gentoo-user] Can't move Chromium windows between screens

[Pau Peris]

Hi, after updating Chromium to chromium-7.0.517.44 from portage i
can't move it between different screens, if i go to Preferencies ->
Personal -> Theme and enable "Use borders and title bar" (so it shows
kwin) i can move chromium windows between screens as i normally do
with any other app. Before the update i was using chromum 7.x from
portage and had no issues, does any one know how can i check what's
happening?

Thanks in advanced!

PD: I'm a kde user, xinerama enabled everywhere.

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl update = emerge cannot create executables

[Pau Peris]

After fixinf fs errors with fsck emerge stopped working so i fixed
with http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/manually-fixing-portage.xml
Then downloaded a stage3, chrooted, compiled gcc, created a binpkg and
emerged it on the broken system with emerge -K
Now i'm rebuilding the whole system.
Thanks for all :)

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl update = emerge cannot create executables

[Pau Peris]

Please, is there any developer/geek who can help to solve the
situation? Why do i get :
[code]/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: Exec format error [/code]
I did nothing than updating the system, also /etc/make.conf (which i
took a look before getting errors) seems ok. I've tried with a simple
make.conf as follows with no luck:
[code]# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl update = emerge cannot create executables

[Pau Peris]

Hi, i do not have buildpkg's of packages in @system so i don't know
how to proceed. It's very strange cause i was emerging sometrivial
packages without problems, last one was perl and then i was taking a
look at /etc/make.conf when tried to re-emerge php and start getting
errors (no reboot, no errors before, no deleting anything, really
strange).

At this point i'm starting to hate computers

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl update = emerge cannot create executables

[Pau Peris]

I'm starting to think the erroris not related to perl package, so i'm
totally lost as i think /etc/make.conf is ok.

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl update = emerge cannot create executables

[Pau Peris]

I've also noticed [b]/usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: Exec format
error[/b] on some emerge error logs. i don't know any clue about the
error.

Re: [gentoo-user] Perl update = emerge cannot create executables

[Pau Peris]

Thanks for the answers :)

Yes, i've run al of the above commands except the oen with MAKEOPTS="-j1"

Also re-emerge extutils-depends and extutils-pkgconfig didn't helped,
but is strange that they emerged fine.

One thing which took my atention but seem not to be critical was:

[code] * Updating ph files.
 * Ignore all "No such file..." messages!
Can't open syslimits.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
Can't open stddef.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
Can't open stdarg.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
Can't open stddef.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
Can't open stddef.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
Can't open stddef.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
Can't open stddef.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
Can't open stddef.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio
[/code]

Also strange the path which is returned by running:

[b]perl-cleaner --leftovers[/b]
[code]

 * Finding left over modules and header

 * The following files remain. These were either installed by hand
 * or edited. This script cannot deal with them.

[gentoo-user] Perl update = emerge cannot create executables

[Pau Peris]

Hi, yesterday i was updating some trivial packages when i noticed
emerge got broken after updating perl (from [b]perl-5.12.2-r1[/b] to
[b]perl-5.12.2-r2[/b]). I've also took a look at /etc/make.conf but i
think i did not modify it and after checking it it seems to have no
errors. Right not every emerge fails, i think the problem is perl is
failing to find need headers or whatever.

GCC and system libraries seems ok:

$gcc-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.4 *

$gcc-config -c
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.4

$binutils-config -l
 [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1 *

$binutils-config -c
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1


GCC is working fine:

$cat /tmp/test.c
#include 
void main(){
 printf("Hello world\n");
}

$gcc test.c -o test && ./test
Hello world

Re: [gentoo-user] help with Persistent hard disk device names with udev

[Pau Peris]

Hi, thanks a lot for the answers. The name of the rules file is
00_whatever.rules, as far as i know there's also an option which
prevents to modifye the setted rules. Well, if no one knows how to do
i will try to find a different solution.

Hi, after following your tips the code gets like the following one:

SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="VNVB05G2RKTRZH", NAME="hda"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="9QK0T4WM", NAME="sda"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="3QD0X58D", NAME="sdb"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="9QK0RS9G", NAME="sdc"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="9VP0SBVN", NAME="sdc"

KERNEL=="hd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="VNVB05G2RKTRZH", NAME="hda%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="9QK0T4WM", NAME="sda%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="3QD0X58D", NAME="sdb%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="9QK0RS9G", NAME="sdc%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}=="9VP0SBVN", NAME="sdc%n"
That's not working, when i plug more devices they get named without
taking care of the rules above. Do someone know why? thanks. i would
like to be able to name devies using its serial number. Thanks in

[gentoo-user] help with Persistent hard disk device names with udev

[Pau Peris]

Hi, i would like to give persistent device names to the system hard
drives (just renaming its original device name to the one i want using
its serial number as identifier). I've created the following rules
which are not currently working. I'm trying to use device serial
numbers to properly set its device name. One of the main reasons for
doing that is i have a RAID composed by 3 disk (let's say sda sdc sdd)
and when i plug another 4 disks sda becomes sde, sdc becomes sdg and
so on while new drives take old device names, that's why i would like
to make it sure device names remains always the same.
Here are the rules
Código:

SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="VNVB05G2RKTRZH", NAME="hda"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="9QK0T4WM", NAME="sda"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="3QD0X58D", NAME="sdb"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="9QK0RS9G", NAME="sdc"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="9VP0SBVN", NAME="sdc"

KERNEL=="hd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="VNVB05G2RKTRZH", NAME="hda%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="9QK0T4WM", NAME="sda%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="3QD0X58D", NAME="sdb%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="9QK0RS9G", NAME="sdc%n"
KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{serial}="9VP0SBVN", NAME="sdc%n"


Should this work? Do some one know how can i get it to work? thanks in advanced

[gentoo-user] ktaskbar missing on and after 2ond login

[Pau Peris]

Hi, i've just emerged kde-4.1.3 and everything seems to be allright.
The problem i'm having is related to the taskbar, after first login
(so second one and on) kde taskbar won't appear anymore. It happens
using the system as root and as simple system user. I'ts very strange
cause on first login i can see everything, plasma on desktop, ktaskbar
etc No matter if i leave kde session leaving kde desktop as it comes
by default or not, taskbar always disappear on second login and so on.
It's curious that if a right click on desktop and then add widget,
taskbar widgets as systemtray, clock, taskmanager etc appear as added
(i can see it by the "-" red simbol which follows every added widget).

Do someone know what could it be? Right now i'm not posting any log
but if you think i should please tell me and will paste any log which
can help to solve the situation. Thanks a lot :)

PD: If i add another taskbar it doesn't appears after logout and login :'(

Hi, i've just emerged kde-4.1.3 and everything seems to be allright.
The problem i'm having is related to the taskbar, after first login
(so second one and on) kde taskbar won't appear anymore. It happens
using the system as root and as simple system user. I'ts very strange
cause on first login i can see everything, plasma on desktop, ktaskbar
etc No matter if i leave kde session leaving kde desktop as it comes
by default or not, taskbar always disappear on second login and so on.
It's curious that if a right click on desktop and then add widget,
