[gentoo-user] strange blocks b behavior
I was trying to do an --update --deep --with-bdeps=y world today and got the following strange message: [blocks B ] gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.22.0 (is blocking dev-libs/libgweather-2.22.1.1) Now I have neither of these on my system, so what is the matter -- is portage insane? I think I have a couple of more like that as well. Thanks. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

It can't know what is your root partition, that info is in fstab and fstab is on the root partition.So you tell it via a parameter boot But it fails with a message saying please append a working root=?? to the boot commands. expected result. see above. So reloading the install ISO I mount /mnt/gentoo/boot and edit grub.conf to say: title=kernel-2.6.25-r1 root (hd0,0) kernel /kernel-2.6.25-r1 root=/dev/sda3 That fails kernel /kernel-2.6.25-r1 root=/dev/hda3 (Thinking maybe grub does not understand sda) Nothing to do with grub. It's a kernel boot parameter passed verbatim to the kernel and needs valid kernel device names. What's the error you get? Is (hd0,0) a separate /boot? Does it contain a file called kernel-2.6.25-r1 at the top level? And you also should have a ro kernel parameter in there That Fails kernel /kernel-2.6.25-r1 root=(hd0)/sda3 Fails Won't work. (hd0) is a grub thing. You need a /dev/sda3 or similar in there I've even tried: kernel /kernel-2.6.25-r1 root=(hd0,2) Won't work. Same reason. And another failure... all with the same message about appending a working `root=???' I'm about out of ideas here. here's a working grub.conf for illustration: default 0 timeout 10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Default root(hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 ro title Gentoo-2.6.25 root(hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25-gentoo root=/dev/sda3 ro Seems my setup is identical to yours: /boot on /dev/sda1 aka (hd0,0) to grub / on /dev/sda3 Only difference is the ro boot parameter, which shouldn't make a difference - it's there for fsck purposes during start-up. What disk driver and disks do you have? Are you 100% sure you are either using the new ata driver (everything is an sd) or have scsi/sata disks? If your disk is IDE with the old driver, it will be an hd and will require that on the kernel line Well, I had to put a lot more parameters for it to work -- I am not using grub but my parameters aside from the ro are init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda2 udev and some more specific to me. I am using something close to the original gentoo configs, so it uses an initrd parameter also which you need separately in grub. Hope this helps. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] screen locks too frequently
Since doing emerge -D -uav system and emerge -D -uav world last Saturday, I have noticed that my x86 machine locks itself up whenever the keyboard and mouse are idle for about 10 minutes. Unlocking it is simply a matter of typing the user's password. However, the frequency with which I have to unlock the system is annoying. I would like to either deactivate the locking system or increase the period of inactivity allowed before the system locks. Unfortunately, I don't know whether the locking is done by gentoo, x11, fluxbox, or some other component of my system. My only clue is the appearance of the locked screen: In the center of the screen there is a rectangle, within which appear, from top to bottom, the user's name, the machine's name, a blank for the user's password, and finally three buttons labeled switch user, cancel, and unlock. I would be very grateful for suggestions about how to discover what program is locking the system and how to change its behavior. -- John P.

The truly paranoid would use two different backup methods on two physically separate destinations. - If you have disconnection during the rsync step (happened to me last night), your remote backup is temporarily corrupted. That should be fixable by having the script that runs rsync check the return value and try again if it fails.

[gentoo-user] strange ethernet behavior with Superjmicro mb and Gentoo
Hi. I have just gotten a computer with a Super Micro c2sbe Motherboard. Now I also bought a dual port PCI Express ethernet card. Now the normal kernel driver in my 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 does not recognize the ethernet port on the motherboard, only the dual port PCI Express card. So I found an Intel driver which seemed to be a later version of the e1000 driver and installed it. Now the strange part is that in order for the Ethernet on the mb to be recognized, I must rmmod and modprobe the module again and blacklist it from udev, although the later seemed not to do much. Does anyone know why I must do such a thing? If I don't do the rmmod and modprobe the dual port card is still recognized, but the mb one is not..

[gentoo-user] switching CPU's -- what strange things do I need?
Hi folks. I right now have my CCFLAGS set to CFLAGS=-O2 -mtune=athlon-xp -pipe -- now I am getting one of those new Intel e8400 CPU's and so I have two questions. What should I change my CCFLAGS to -- and do I have to recompile the whole system after this is done or what? Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- Your life is like a penny.

[gentoo-user] gnome-session no longer starts after updating world
Hi. After upgrading my system using emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y world I am no longer able to use x-windows. I saw a message for one package connection refused by server, but I saw that gnome-session had ended and that no other gnome apps had hstarted. There is nothing in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log, so I have no idea how to trouble shoot this at all. I am using nvidia drivers 100.14.19 and gentoo sources of 2.6.21-r4.

OK, an emerge --sync solved the problem, although I got a collision

[gentoo-user] Problem using the pppoe plugin
Hi. I am having a very frustrating prroblem when I use the pppoe plugin like so: config_ppp0=(ppp) link_ppp0=eth2 plugins_ppp0=(rp-pppoe) username_ppp0='vzeqmmst' pppd_ppp0=( updetach noauth ipcp-accept-remote ipcp-accept-local holdoff 3 lcp-echo-interval 15 lcp-echo-failure 3 ) What happens is that when I use this a computer on my local network has intermittent connection problems -- it connects to google just fine, but not to Microsoft sites and other places. Now what is very strange is -- if I use the rp-pppoe package independent of gentoo using there adsl-start command instead of the gentoo configs, then everything works just fine. Both methods are using the same local startup script for ppp which fixes up the packet forwarding, etc., so I haven't a clue as to why one has this problem and the other does not.

[gentoo-user] Re: [SOLVED] help with the dreaded mount: RPC: Program not registered
Not an elegant solution, or one that sheds any light on the nature of the problem, but this process worked for me: 1) Removed everything from the default run level except for the system logger and net.eth0. 2) Rebooted and started nfs by hand successfully after the reboot. Added nfs to the default run level. 3) Repeated steps 1) and 2) for each additional program I wanted to add the the default run level. Everything seems to work fine now. John Blinka

Re: [gentoo-user] help with the dreaded mount: RPC: Program not registered
Hi, Bogo, Your experience is similar in nature to mine. What I didn't post is that nfs isn't the only daemon that wouldn't start, and that for a month or two I've had to cajole and threaten my box - generic x86 - to get various daemons to start - all by hand, of course. All of this mystery started after a massive system upgrade. I've tried rebuilding the entire system with no effect, and now I'm contemplating a wipe-the-system-clean and fresh install to exorcise whatever ghosts are lurking there. I don't want to do that, but... Anyway, the existence of a fellow sufferer makes me feel better. John

Re: [gentoo-user] help with the dreaded mount: RPC: Program not registered
that should be /etc/init.d/nfsmount start. /etc/init.d/nfs is for nfs server. I''m confused by your answer, because tobey is the server, and /etc/init.d/nfs fails on tobey. Perhaps I don't understand something - wouldn't be the first time! John
[gentoo-user] help with the dreaded mount: RPC: Program not registered
Hi, all, I have 2 gentoo machines, lotus and tobey. tobey is an nfs server to lotus. Today I upgraded tobey, and now nfs doesn't work. Previously, it worked for years. The symptoms are: 1) mount -v /mnt/tobey on lotus returns mount: RPC: Program not registered 2) /etc/init.d/nfs start on tobey produces no output, no running nfsd daemons, and exit code 1. 3) There is nothing particularly informative (to me) in the system logs. There is one instance of tobey rc-scripts: ERROR: cannot start nfs as rpc.statd could not start after the reboot following today's upgrade. I've started rpc.statd by hand and then attempted to start nfs, but nfs still does not start. There is no information in the system log explaining why. 4) I've done the usual google search, and followed the advice of other people who have had this problem, and I have read the available Gentoo Wiki documents that discuss this problem and followed the advice there. The result: nfs still does not start. 5) tobey is a machine which doesn't like to start various daemons when it boots despite their being managed by rc-update. I have no idea why - this situation started a few months ago after an upgrade. I start them by hand after reboots. 6) I always do revdep-rebuild and always follow the post installation instructions mailed by portage's elog facility. So, any brilliant ideas about why I can't start nfs or how to debug the problem? As always, thanks for your help! John Blinka

Hi. When I boot using softlevel=single -- what seems to be happening is that it runs the default level and then stops all of those processes since there is actually nothing in the /etc/runlevels/single directory. Is there anyway to have it not run the default level first -- as this causes some strange problem when a script in the default level starts another process which I then have to kill manually.

[gentoo-user] Dell XPS M1710 and Sound
on Sunday 06/17/2007 Colleen Beamer([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote Hi guys, I'm having a heck of a time getting sound to work on my Dell XPS M1710. A while back, when I was first setting the laptop of with Gentoo, C. Lee Davis sent me a link on how he configured his system with Alsa. Well, I followed that both with Alsa compiled into the kernel and using alsa-driver. I've googled this and didn't come up with anything that was similar to my problem. dmesg shows no errors. Sound is not muted. On my *desktop* system, Alsa works fine - different sound chipset. The *laptop* soundcard is an hda-intel. On my *desktop*, KMix shows the following items for output: Master Master Mono Headphone 3D-Control-Center 3D-Control-Depth PCM PC Speaker On the *laptop*, Kmix shows only the following items for output: Master PCM Capture Mux On the laptop, Kmix shows only Mic as Input If anyone can lead me by the nose, here, I would certainly appreciate it. I have a Dell Latitude d820 which uses snd-hda-intel (I think this is the correct module name). I have a few more controls that that, but what I set by hand in /etc/asound.state was something called PlayBack Master Switch which was false when it came iand is now true and that brought up sound.

[gentoo-user] startup woes with sshd, rsyncd, nfs, portmap
Hi, All, After a long period of not updating one of my machines, I recently did a fairly large emerge -DuNv world. And now things don't work quite as they used to. Symptoms: sshd doesn't start nfs doesn't start rsyncd doesn't start system sometimes hangs on shutdown when it tries to unmount remote filesystems. There are no complaints in /var/log/messages. I can start all of these daemons by hand without a problem and all are in the default rc level.

[gentoo-user] madwifi-ng upgrade installs wireless-tools; why?
Hi, All, Since upgrading madwifi-ng a few days ago, I have had massive problems with my wireless connection. I use wpa_supplicant to connect, but I've found that the madwifi-ng upgrade also installs wireless-tools, and the presence of wireless-tools interferes with my attempts to connect via wpa_supplicant. Here's what happens when I try to upgrade world: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~-- emerge -ptDuNv world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies... done!

[gentoo-user] wireless failure after madwifi-ng upgrade
Hi, all,
I have been using wireless successfully for about a month, until I
upgraded madwifi-ng last night. Since then wireless has not
worked. I have a netgear wireless router which supplies the
wireless signal, and the configuration of this router has not
changed. And wireless works fine from the same box when I
boot Windows. So, the problem seems to be related to the
madwifi-ng upgrade.
No configuration files were changed - at least etc-update didn't
report any.
In /var/log/messages,, I find the following:
rc-scripts: WEP key is not set for NETGEAR - not connecting
Well... of course it isn't - my router uses WPA encryption,
and always has. My /etc/conf.d/net and
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf files are straight from
the gentoo handbook:
/etc/conf.d/net:
modules=( wpa_supplicant )
wpa_supplicant_ath0=-Dmadwifi
modules=( dhcpcd )
config_ath0=( dhcp )
dhcpcd_ath0=-t 10 -s 192.168.1.101
dhcp_ath0=release nodns nontp nonis
nis_domain_ath-= mydomain.org
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=0
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid=NETGEAR
psk=xxx
priority=5
}
So, why does the rc-script suddenly think I'm using WEP encryption
?
Thanks for any and all ideas.

Sometimes emerge would display important information in green or yellow stars after it's finished merging a package - such as warnings or valuable tips.

[gentoo-user] Can't start X after a few months of updates
Hi, My system had been happily chugging along with X and KDE running for a few months nonstop. Every Saturday I'd run an update world. But, I never restarted X and obviously never rebooted.

[gentoo-user] udev net persistent rules
on Wednesday 05/02/2007 Graham Murray([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote When updating udev from a version without persistent rules to one which has them, how do I force the system to create 60-persistent-net.rules with the current ethn assignments *before* rebooting the system? I am updating remote systems using ssh, and had a problem whereby one system had reversed eth0 and eth1 after the upgrade. I want to make sure that upgrades to other systems do not have this problem by ensuring that the persistent net rules are created before rebooting after the upgrade (which also upgrades the kernel, hence the need for the reboot) I am pretty sure you can do /lib/udev/write_net_rules and that will create the file which you then can fix the mac addresses in the file. -- Your life is like a penny.

The hourly, daily, weekly and monthly directories are handled by entries in crontab, but there is no such entry for cron.d - when would you expect it's contents to be run? It does work for me, as mentioned in the docs. The caveat is that entries have to be entered in /etc/crontab syntax (ie, with an explicit username). And if I take the entries out of cron.d and put them into crontab they are executed correctly and this is why I asked the question. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

Ignore my previous reply, whatever I was on, it had insufficient caffeine :( cron.d does indeed work here, provided the lines have exactly the same format as in crontab; e.g. tail -n 1 /etc/crontab /etc/cron.d/test works as it should. Are you setting the execute bit on the files in cron.d? In the past, I've found that this prevents their being run. Indeed the user exec bit is on, didn't know that it made any difference, but I will try with it off. Yep, that did it -- thanks much guys. Never heard of that before. -- Your life is like a penny.

If I try to log in using gdm as a non-root user, it logs me in, but does not even run gnome-session. If I run that by hand, it runs some things, but if I want to change some settings I am informed that the gnome-settings-daemon cannot start a new dbus session. Both dbus and hald are started and working if I log in as root. Check the permissions of the various GNOME files and directories in the user's home directory. I've seen something like this when the user was unable to write to the necessary files. I checked the .gconf and .gnome2 and even the .gnome2_private, but it looks OK to me. I even put a session file in the users .gnome2 directory changing the current directory to his home directory, but it will not run. Very strange. -- Your life is like a penny.
