I just tried made typo. Instead of running: grub-install /dev/nvme0n1 I did: grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p2 It install without any errors. I've not done any installation for some time, a lot had changed. It is a good practice as next PC will be a production PC; so I know to stay away from "vfat" in boot partition.

Thank you, but I've managed to install "nvidia" following: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVIDIA/nvidia-drivers What confused me is the output from two kernels: linux-5.4.80-gentoo-r1 was installed with: genkernel --menuconfig all and "nouveau" was working OK on that kernel: grep CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE ../linux-5.4.80-gentoo-r1/.config showing: CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="" The one below was compiled manually: grep CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE ../linux-5.4.72-gentoo/.config CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="" Both had same output, so why one kernel was working the other didn't?

I'm an old timer, before there was no need for initramfs. One of my 10-year old system is still running /boot with ext2; never had a problem. HD is making noise and they system was running 24/7. But it is slowly failing, might be HD or memory. I was following the Gentoo handbook, maybe I didn't read it correctly and/or miss the information on alternative setting. I didn't see any explanation that I need to have support for "fsck.fat". I better stay away from any "vfat" format on boot partition, and I don't see a reason to have initramfs (another complexity).

A lot of folks get hurt over this bug, I'm supersized that nobody reported it yet that fsck.fat 4.1 has bugs. Symptoms: One day you end up with command line login: (none) login: Your root file system will be mounted as RO and only way to access your system is to boot-strap it. Recompiling anything (emerge -e system) will not help. The screen output fly by so fast that you need to have a high speed camera to catch the scrolling line. What help me is in "/" running: touch forcefsck It will force the system to run a check on all file systems in fstab. This will slow down the system, so you will notice that error message: fsck.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24) open: no such file or directory There is a similar related bug filed about it (but I don't know why is it marked resolved) https://bugs.gentoo.org/306119 SOLUTION (workaround): if you have UEFI system most likely your "boot" partition is some form of "vfat" if you have in fstab: LABEL=boot /boot vfatnoauto,noatime 1 2 Change it to: LABEL=boot /boot vfatnoauto,noatime 0 0 The force check of vfat system will skip and your system will boot normally. My permanent solution will be to go back to old reliable "ext2 as boot". Most newer BIOS system have CSM (compatibility support module under Boot menu) turning it ON will allow the boot partition to be in "ext2", it will avoid future problems with "fsck.fat" Running "boot" in ext2 I don't need "initramfs" either.

I took care of this error, it was about cfg80211 enable wireless support (which I don't have) so I disable it in .config. But when I generate initframes I'm getting a warning: genkernel --install --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux/.config initramfs * WARNING... WARNING...

[gentoo-user] UEFI system - installing Grub without EFI
I was trying to check VFAT boot partition on my disk with Gparted but it failed. Root partition checked OK. Can I format the VFAT to EXT2 and install grub on it without EFI? There is a possibility VFAT partition got damaged.

Yes, this machine is new but I run it for a over 10-days, configured most of the programs and it was running without much problems. Yesterday, I decided to check some parameters in kernel .config so I run: genkernel --menuconfig all * Gentoo Linux Genkernel; Version 4.1.2 * Using genkernel configuration from '/etc/genkernel.conf' ... * Running with options: --kernel-config=/proc/config.gz all * Working with Linux kernel 5.4.72-gentoo-x86_64 for x86_64 * Using kernel config file '/proc/config.gz' ... * * Note: The version above is subject to change (depends on config and status of kernel sources). * kernel: >> Initializing ... * >> Running 'make clean' ... * >> --mrproper is set; Making 'make mrproper' ... * >> Will ignore kernel config from '/proc/config.gz' *in favor of already existing but different kernel config *found in '/usr/src/linux/.config' ... * >> Running 'make oldconfig' ... * >> Compiling 5.4.72-gentoo-x86_64 bzImage ... When I exit it it started to compile the kernel (it did not finish) I pressed "CTRL-C" (interrupted). I didn't know then, but running genkernel --menuconfig all takes configuration from: /etc/kernels/kernel-config-5.4.72-gentoo-x86_64 not from: /usr/src/linux/.config However, NO FILE HAD CHANGED IN /boot But this this is the moment, I couldn't boot correctly. So after several tries I wipe the /boot, I downloaded standard kernel linux-5.4.72-gentoo run as usual: make && make modules_install make install genkernel --install --kernel-config=/usr/src/linux/.config initramfs grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg But nothing had changed. So I tired newer kernel: 5.4.80-gentoo-r1-x86_64 But this time I run (without interruptions): genkernel --menuconfig all grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg And again nothing changed, root "/" still mounts "ro" findmnt TARGETSOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS / /dev/nvme0n1p4 ext4 ro,relatime Normally it should be: findmnt TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS //dev/sda4 ext4rw,noatime,data=ordered > Does dmesg show the drive being recognised, corresponding drivers being > loaded, partitions and filesystems recognised? cat dmesg |grep error doesn't show any errors > Does syslog show any relevant errors?

My system will not boot. I installed sys-power/acpid and wanted to double check the kernel configuration. I run: genkernel --menuconfig all The ACPI option was enabled so I exit the menu but it started to compile the kernel so I press CTRL-C (to stop it).

I was under impression that dir name shouldn't be a problem as long as it is the correct type "mbox" Since postifx main.cf had already home_mailbox = .maildir so I use it, instead of defining my own.

I'm suing mbox with TBird. I'm trying to do it correctly. Normally I use TBird on one system and do backup of the whole folder: .thunderbird/ from one system to another, except the local mail that is stored in /var/smpool/mail By default TBird is storing local mail in .thunderbird/ it means I would be copying local mail from one box to another. By default postifix default directory for local folder is home_mailbox = .maildir/ If I comment out that line the mail will be stored in /var/smpool/mail If I removde the "/" from .maildir it will be mbox type. (this is according to my notes, am I correct) So I tried with setting: home_mailbox = .maildir (no forward "/", so it should be mbox type). I've tired sending test email to root, the mail went out but I couldn't find it in .maildir TBird was configured to look in home .maildir (this would be ideal solution, but it doesn't work) I'm doing something wrong. When I set it for /var/spool/mail everything works.

You have mentioned it is a flatbed scanner so you can not scan in duplex mode. Just create "multipage document" scan both sides, save it and you should be able to print it in duplex mode. I mostly use PDF format for documents.

You setup the printer in Setup menu under "Copy" and scan in duplex mode. If you printer is setup by default to print duplex it will print it correctly, in duplex. If not you will get two pages, it prints directly to a printer (the print windows doesn't pop-up). I suggest to scan it first to a document and print it in duplex.

It can be sorted by country in a spreadsheet. This 16MB file would seem like an ideal solution; but checking is it is missing 212.114.17 number I've checked earlier from the other source.

I'll write a script to check, all the IP's from at text file with "whois" and write the output out to another file, just to be sure. I don't know how long will it take, the file contains 26611-entries (IP addresses). You might be correct, Grant. Putting the IP's in apache .config file could be more efficient, instead of .htaccess file.

The dbip-country-lite-2020-12.csv is 16MB (file) though, it includes all the countries. The country I want to ban file is only 697kB so it might be easier to for apache, am I correct? Either way, the apache would have to access the database where all the codes are stored or .htaccess file. Or is it easier if I incorporate the IP addressed into main .config file (in apache)?

I've done this one, but it didn't help. I have few notes as to what to
change eg:
--
/usr/share/texmf-dist/dvips/config/config.ps (new system)
This has to be on the top, before other letter formats (the first one is
default)
...
@ letter 8.5in 11in
@+ ! %%DocumentPaperSizes: Letter
@+ %%BeginPaperSize: Letter
@+ /setpagedevice where
@+ { pop << /PageSize [612 792] >> setpagedevice }
@+ { /letter where { pop letter } if }
@+ ifelse
@+ %%EndPaperSize
...
--
/etc/papersize
letter
--
/etc/xpdfrc
psPaperSize letter
---
What solved the problem is: (I must have miss this part during
installation)
eselect locale set # (select to: en_US.utf8 )
env-update && source /etc/profile

I would like to know too.
I don't know specifically what "genkernel --menuconfig all" does but I
ended up redoing it, correcting some configuration.
In addition when I was redoing the "genkernel --menuconfig all" it
copied current (working) kernel in /boot/ to kernel-old and installs a
new one.
The new one boots OK. The old kernel should work as well, but it doesn't.
So I would like to get to the bottom of it.
What is being installed in initramfs?

Thanks Michael, the correct setting is:
Alias /sql-ledger /usr/local/sql-ledger/
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
Options ExecCGI Includes FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
But it wasn't my only problem, the old sql-ledger-2.8.35 was not
compatible with the newer software; the solution was to upgrade to newer
sql-ledger-3.2.9 that run with current postgresql-12
But this version of sql-ledger-3.2.9 has a bugs.
The backup script doesn't work correctly. It works with one database
but, with another database when trying to back it up it gave an error
(the backup doesn't work):
(The backup worked correctly on sql-ledger-2.8.35)
"Wide character in print at line 2060" and CPU goes 100%
The solution (fix, courtesy of my daughter) is to make a change in the
file:
sql-ledger/SL/AM.pm
(line #2040 add after "my $fields;" line:
my $myString;
(line #2059 after:
$fields .= join ',', map { $dbh->quote($_) } @arr;
$fields .= ")";
-- replace
print OUT qq|$query $fields;\n|;
}
-- end replace --
with --
$myString = qq|$query $fields;\n|;
$myString =~ s/[^\x00-\x7f]//g;
print OUT $myString;
}
--- end with --

You are correct, it wasn't any benchmark test. And yes, the old PC are about 10-year old and 3-4 years old; and the new one is just assembled.

WOW! it worked, it worked! Thank you Michael! IP works and AuthType Basic works too. Why? It seems to me Apache 2.4 is very picky where/and order directives are. So much more to learn. For basic operation I prefer .htaccess files, it is much simpler and easier to block spammers, no need to restart the main server, just update .htaccess file. Thank you again!

Partial success. It seems to me .htaccess needs: to work. The blow works on IP: Require ip 10.0.0.109 But this below doesn't work. AuthName "restricted stuff" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile "/etc/apache2/users" require user webmaster It doesn't read "AuthType Basic" it does not ask me for password. I wish Apache 2.2 was still in portage.

It seems to me it is reading .htaccess file as "AuthType Basic" work, it is asking me for a password. but "Require ip" doesn't work. Because my IP is 10.0.0.109 apache should deny me access with "access denied. It is strange as the directive: "DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var" does not include "index.php" and I'm able to access this file "admin/index.php" so the index.php must be define somewhere else. Most likely via httpd.conf: httpd.conf:75:LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so (but this is a binary file, can not read it).

It will be handy. I've noticed that using: genkernel --menuconfig all puts the .config in /usr/src/linux directory and copy kernel to /boot after compiling when you exit.

The "genkernel all" is working but I need to find out which option is it that allow booting the drive. The genkernel.conf is different from standard kernel .config Removing options from genkernel is not easy.

I copied genkernel.conf to /usr/src/linux/.config but this configuration file is different. I was looking for CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU in genkernel.conf I couldn't find it. The reason I'm using "genkernel all" as there is some setting missing in my old .config file that is stop booting my M.2 SSD (are there any special option in kernel for it?). I'm getting an error: kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0, 0)

[gentoo-user] genkernel all
I compiled "genkernel all" instead of looking for the correct entry to boot my M.2 drive. Not I compiled nvidia-drivers and got a message: * Messages for package x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-455.28-r1: * CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU: should not be set. But it is. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. * CONFIG_I2C_NVIDIA_GPU: should not be set. But it is. Genkernel all doesn't have any .config file. How to remove them? Where to get .config for genkernel all? -- Thelma

I've notice it too during booting and corrected it, thanks.

Removing old kernel and re-running: grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Solved the problem.
