[gentoo-user] !!! section ‘local’ in repos.conf has name different from ...
Hi, everyone, I’m trying to install steam-overlay using https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam I have 3 boxes on which I try to maintain gentoo setups as identical as possible. The steam install has gone smoothly on 2 boxes, but is failing on the 3rd. When I get to this steam installation step on the 3rd box: # emaint sync —repo steam-overlay I get the error !!! Section ‘local’ in repos.conf has name different from repository ‘steam-overlay’ set inside repository which prevents me from syncing and installing steam on this machine. I’m interpreting this as the two repositories (local and steam-overlay) somehow knowing about each other and somehow getting their configurations intertwined. My repos.conf directory on this 3rd machine is identical to the other 2 machines (which don’t exhibit this error). .../repos.conf/local.conf maintains a local overlay in /usr/local/portage for a handful of personal packages/ebuilds. .../repos.conf/steam-overlay.conf maintains its overlay in /usr/local/portage/steam-overlay. Neither of these two files contain the other overlay’s name, i.e., local.conf doesn’t refer to steam-overlay nor does steam-overlay.conf refer to local. The two files point to different storage locations for their respective repositories. So I don’t understand how these two repositories know of each other’s existence. Or maybe I don’t understand the error message. Google doesn’t report many instances of this error, and following up with them hasn’t produced a solution. Any ideas about what’s happening? Thanks, John

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. I am using gentoo source 4.19.93 and it looks like I have all the configs in the kernel, like this: grep -i notify linux/.config CONFIG_FB_NOTIFY=y CONFIG_FSNOTIFY=y CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y I re-emerged incron with no joy.

Are you sure its supposed to detect them even if they are not mounted?
How would they be able to look at the files? Where are the image

[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 would expect it to only > rebuild libreoffice after the dependency had been changed. That’s exactly what happened. I issued an emerge -DuNv —changed-deps libreoffice first. That had the effect of 1) first upgrading several libreoffice dependencies, and 2) subsequently rebuilding libreoffice once the dependencies changed. I’m guessing emerge is smart enough to trigger both activities and sequence them appropriately.

And it has the advantage of fewer invocations of emerge. But at the cost, I suspect, of serializing the building of any memory hog dependencies that were excluded from consideration by the first invocation of emerge.

But still pretty simple. I’ve just used the “build in sequence” idea for an update that forced a libreoffice rebuild. It first upgraded a few of libreoffice’s dependencies in parallel, and then rebuilt libreoffice by itself afterwards. A subsequent emerge @world upgraded a bunch of minor kde stuff. I like this idea - seems to isolate the “hogs” so they build one at a time, and it does so without any intervention on my part. Thanks! John Blinka

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.

A couple of points, I am using a multilib profile, the ones that are not multlib say so and I have never used those. So, I copied the .la files to /usr/lib, they seem to be generated and not part of any package. 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.

Re: [gentoo-user] per package parallel build
There's no need to mess around adding and removing masks, just use the - - exclude option. Yep! For some reason, that option doesn’t always occur to me, but that’s clearly a simpler way to do it. Thanks for reminding me! John

Maybe they can > figure out a way to implement that?? There already is a mechanism you can use, but it’s not the automatic type that you (and, admittedly I) would like. I have 3 old 2 core machines, and I use distcc heavily to reduce emerge times. The “fastest” (not really) and best equipped has 16 gb memory. I do updates on this machine (with distcc help from the others) and distribute packages to the rest. After a lot of experimenting, I find that MAKEOPTS=“-j13 -l5” works the best on this fastest machine. That setting allows it to attempt a workload that it alone doesn’t have the resources to accomplish, but successfully distributes to the other machines. I use firefox, chromium, and libreoffice. Occasionally portage wants to upgrade more than one of these at a time, which I discover by running emerge —pretend. On those occasions, I’ve learned that I run out of resources and builds fail. So I just temporarily mask all but one of those updates, do the upgrade, unmask one of the masked updates, do another upgrade, and so on. Works well for me. No builds crash, essentially no swap gets used, and I have substantially accelerated compile and ebuild times. The tools exist to do what you want to do. If you were so inclined, you might even contemplate writing a script to automate what I just described. John Blinka

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.

[gentoo-user] problems with depclean
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. So, how can I protect myself against depclean going wild? Thanks in advance for any ideas. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

[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.

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.

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.

Hi. I have discovered that I cannot upgrade to zfs 0.8.x. The problem seems to be that there is no sys-kernel/spl-0.8.x at all.

OK, here is my preserved listing, I think this will give you a hint. totem and inn and mono are the packages that will not install, gnome-desktop and openssl install correctly but I think some library is being used by the two packages that will not install. I just did the world update maybe a weeik ago and have not synced since. Here is what emerge says: !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: gnome-base/gnome-desktop-3.30.2.1 * - /usr/lib64/libgnome-desktop-3.so.12 * - /usr/lib64/libgnome-desktop-3.so.12.2.1 * used by /usr/lib64/libtotem.so.0.0.0 (media-video/totem-3.24.0) >>> package: dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2r-r200 * - /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 * used by /usr/sbin/sendmail (mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.9-r1) * used by /var/spool/news/bin/nnrpd (net-nntp/inn-2.5.5-r1) * - /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0 * used by /usr/sbin/sendmail (mail-mta/sendmail-8.14.9-r1) * used by /var/spool/news/bin/nnrpd (net-nntp/inn-2.5.5-r1) >>> package: dev-lang/perl-5.30.0 * - /usr/lib64/libperl.so.5.28 * - /usr/lib64/libperl.so.5.28.2 * used by /var/spool/news/bin/innd (net-nntp/inn-2.5.5-r1) * used by /var/spool/news/bin/nnrpd (net-nntp/inn-2.5.5-r1) Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries Sendmail is something which I maybe could recompile, but I know I had problems doing that the last time I tried. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] how can I everr switch to profile 17.1?
It would seem impossible for me to switch to profile 17.1. I say this because I can never run emerge --depclean . I have a few packages which will not compile and one not in the tree anymore. the packages which will not compile are mono-4.4.1.0 and totem-3.30 -- I have filed bugs against both of them. Inn no longer configures and I have discussed this in another thread. So, where can I go with this? I hate to just go forward, although these packages look they don't have any lib32 dependencies.

It looks like the symbol is in one of the libraries compiled with the build, and this is what is so strange. I saw a post that talked about the order of the libraries in the link command, but it looks the same in ebuild and the tarball build. I configured the tarball using the configure line in the log from the ebuild, so that should be the same. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

[gentoo-user] problems trying to maintain inn for my own use
Hi. I use inn to fetch/post usenet news. I know its no longer in the tree, but I would like to keep it going. The last version in the tree 2.5.5-r1 no longer configures, so I wrote an ebuild similar to the ones that used to be there which I copied to my local ebuilds for 2.6.3. This configures and compiles fine, but gets linking errors where it cannot find symbol HISTLOOKUP. Now what is strange is if I just get the tarball and configure with the same parameters and compile out of tree, it works fine -- at least up to the point of make install. I would like to do things in such a way that portage knows its there in case there is a preserved lib or something that I need to take care of. I could not figure what the difference is as to why the ebuild does not work and my out of tree compile works, so it looks like I have two choices: 1. unmerge and just maintain the out of tree build or 2. Leave it there and just do a make update which copies the binaries over the old ones. If I do number 2, it might be impossible to go to the 17.1 profile, so I am of two minds about this. If anyone has any insight into this I would appreciate it very much. Thanks. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

In my latest update, there is a hard block sys-kernel/spl-0.7.13 is blocking 0.8.0. Can I unmerge the old one and still have access to my pools while the new one is compiled. My whole system except /boot is on zfs, this is wny I am asking, or should I do this one emerge from a rescue disk? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny.

That seems to work, I hope it does a sync somewhere in there.

Thanks, I found it, but the backtrace has no symbols, even though I
have features set so that everything is compiled with symbols like
this:
FEATURES="${FEATURES} -stricter -distcc -ccache splitdebug buildpkg"
I wonder what is happening here?

[gentoo-user] davfs2 suddenly not working properly
Hi. After my last world update, davfs2 is not working properly. I use it to mount my owncloud instance and it mounts fine, but the umount always segfaults and leaves the mount alone. Now, I can force to unmount by doing umount.davfs followed by the URL in question, but then the cache is never synced, so I just have to wait a while to make sure. The log says its seg faulting and claims that a core dump has occurred, but I can't find such a thing. Google and bgo reveal nothing. I am using the unstable gentoo and the glibc library was updated to2.29-r1 -- there is an r2, but I have not updated to it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] mariadb confused about expire_logs_days
. Hello everyone, I upgraded to mariadb-10.2.22-r1 from mariadb-10.1.38-r1 about 3 weeks ago. Just today I've discovered that the log files (/var/lib/mysql/mariadb-bin.XX) have been accumulating since that time. I have no use for all of these log files, so years ago I set expire_logs_files = 1 in my.cnf to keep just the most recent one. This has worked well until the upgrade. This upgrade also introduced a new way of expressing the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file. It now follows Gentoo practice of pointing to a directory (/etc/mysql/mariadb.d) which contains multiple files that are concatenated to produce the my.cnf file that is handed to mariadb. One of these files (/etc/mysql/mariadb.d/logs) contains [mysql] expire_logs_days= 1 Clearly, this is being ignored, since I now have 3 weeks of accumulated log files instead of just the latest one. When I attempted to log into the mariadb server to examine the values of the global variables, the login failed with the message mysql: unknown variable 'expire_logs_days=1' I then commented out the line "expire_logs_days= 1" in the file /etc/mysql/mariadb.d/logs. This allowed me to log into the mariadb server without the error message to issue the SHOW VARIABLES; command, which revealed that expire_logs_days was set to the 0 default. So clearly mariadb seems to think that expire_logs_days is still a legitimate variable. It looks like something is interpreting the line "expire_logs_days = 1" as just a variable name instead of name = value. Anybody else experience this? Any suggested solutions? I haven't found anything on Google or bugs.gentoo.org. John Blinka
