Are you building your the iwlwifi driver not as a module but directly into the kernel? Are you including your firmware into the kernel? If you do the above, try loading the driver as a module. Also enable both DVM and MVM Firmware support. Then emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware without USE=savedconfig. Finally reboot and check wther it works. If it works, check which firmware is loaded in your dmesg.

[gentoo-user] System crash on "Detecting C compiler ABI info"
Hello Gentoo, my entire system crashes reliably on "Detecting C compiler ABI info" when compiling some packages, happened on sci-libs/netcdf and media-libs/svt-av1. I am pretty sure it isn't a hardware instability since I can compile everything that doesn't run "Detecting C compiler ABI info" without any issues at all. Does anybody have an idea why this happens?

Bash can do patern substitution in variable references.
Replace accum3=$(( ${accum3} + ${dataarray[3]} ))
with accum3=$(( ${accum3} + ${dataarray[3]/'.'/0} ))
and similarly with the other lines and any array value of '.' will be replaced

You can get your list of monitors: $ xrandr --listmonitors Monitors: 3 0: +*DVI-D-0 1920/518x1200/324+1920+0 DVI-D-0 1: +DisplayPort-0 1920/518x1200/324+3840+0 DisplayPort-0 2: +HDMI-A-0 1920/518x1200/324+0+0 HDMI-A-0 and then play with the locations until the mouse does the right thing when you move it between them :). Or fix it via the GUI and note which one is where; the description ends in +x+y with the offset for each monitor currently, so you can see that HDMI-A-0 is on the far left, then DVI-D-0 is in the middle, and DisplayPort-0 is on the right.

Here is the section for the "Screen" part of "ServerLayout" Screen screen-num "screen-id" position-information One of these entries must be given for each screen being used in a session. The screen-id field is mandatory, and specifies the Screen section being referenced. The screen-num field is optional, and may be used to specify the screen number in multi-head configurations. When this field is omitted, the screens will be numbered in the order that they are listed in. The numbering starts from 0, and must be consecutive. The position-information field describes the way multiple screens are positioned. There are a number of different ways that this information can be provided: x y Absolute x y These both specify that the upper left corner’s coordinates are (x,y). The Absolute keyword is optional. Some older versions of XFree86 (4.2 and earlier) don’t recognise the Absolute keyword, so it’s safest to just specify the coordinates without it. RightOf "screen-id" LeftOf"screen-id" Above "screen-id" Below "screen-id" Relative "screen-id" x y These give the screen’s location relative to another screen. The first four position the screen immediately to the right, left, above or below the other screen. When positioning to the right or left, the top edges are aligned. When positioning above or below, the left edges are aligned. The Relative form specifies the offset of the screen’s origin (upper left corner) relative to the origin of another screen. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?

Re: [gentoo-user] Issues with amdgpu driver: Compositor hangs, sysfs not working
AMDGPU-PRO is not a driver, but a set of libraries containing opencl,vulkan and advanced media framework. It operates on top of amdgpu. Mesa is the open source implementation of OpenGL, Vulkan, et al. graphics API specifications. If you are using proprietary AMD drivers then I understand all the graphics API instructions will go through these proprietary drivers, instead of being translated by Mesa. As you said, it could be seen as an alternative to mesa, but will not change anything about the firmware or the amdgpu driver. It therefore will not change anything about the framebuffer, since this is handled by the driver. That said, I do not have the described problems when starting gamescope from a tty, so my guess now is that its a Hyprland issue. I filed a bug there. I will also try to start Hyprland using amdgpu-pro instead of mesa. Thank you for your time
Re: [gentoo-user] Issues with amdgpu driver: Compositor hangs, sysfs not working
Thank you for your reply. Hello everybody, I installed an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX today, switching from Nvidia. But once I enable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y to have a tty once the driver is up, the following happens: 1) My Wayland compositor (Hyprland) takes very long to start. 2) reading from sysfs (e.g. running "cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/gpu_busy_percent") does not work and causes a hang. Once I disable FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=n, I have no issues with the starting speed of the compositors at all and the mentioned command works. But this leads to a black tty. You'd normally need this enabled to get a fb display on the console, but I don't know if this would be provided by proprietary drivers instead for your card - see below. I made a mistake here, sorry. The issue causing setting is DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=y, which on itself works with the open source driver, but causes issues as soon as I start Hyprland. It could be both. I don't think there's any Linux firmware released yet for this card - but I don't follow the latest & greatest so I could be wrong. You'd need the AMD amdgpu-pro on top of the amdgpu driver, to bring in the proprietary OpenGL, OpenCL, Vulkan and AMF components: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU-PRO This is what's in portage today: ~ $ eix -l amdgpu-pro * dev-libs/amdgpu-pro-opencl Available versions: ~20.40.1147286 ^fmsd[ABI_X86="32 64"] ["|| ( abi_x86_32 abi_x86_64 )"] Homepage: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-amdgpu-unified-linux-20-40 Description: Proprietary OpenCL implementation for AMD GPUs * media-libs/amdgpu-pro-vulkan Available versions: ~21.50.2.1384496-r1 ^md [ABI_X86="32 64" VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu"] ["video_cards_amdgpu"] ~22.10.4.1452060-r1 ^md [ABI_X86="32 64" VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu"] ["video_cards_amdgpu"] ~22.20.5.1511376-r1 ^md [ABI_X86="32 64" VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu"] ["video_cards_amdgpu"] ~22.40.6.1580631-r1 ^md [ABI_X86="32 64" VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu"] ["video_cards_amdgpu"] ~23.10.3.1620044-r1 ^md [ABI_X86="32 64" VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu"] ["video_cards_amdgpu"] ~23.20.0.1654522-r1 ^md [ABI_X86="32 64" VIDEO_CARDS="amdgpu"] ["video_cards_amdgpu"] Homepage:https://www.amd.com/en/support Description: AMD's closed source vulkan driver, from Radeon Software for Linux * media-video/amdgpu-pro-amf Available versions: ~1.4.24.1452059 ^md ~1.4.26.1511376 ^md ~1.4.29.1580631 ^md ~1.4.30.1620044 ^md ~1.4.31.1654522 (0/31)^md Homepage:https://www.amd.com/en/support Description: AMD's closed source Advanced Media Framework (AMF) driver Found 3 matches The firmare seems good, since it is loaded just fine, "dmesg | grep amdgpu | grep firmware" returns: [ 16.905914] Loading firmware: amdgpu/psp_13_0_0_sos.bin [ 16.905916] Loading firmware: amdgpu/psp_13_0_0_ta.bin [ 16.905917] Loading firmware: amdgpu/smu_13_0_0.bin [ 16.905917] Loading firmware: amdgpu/dcn_3_2_0_dmcub.bin [ 16.905918] Loading firmware: amdgpu/gc_11_0_0_pfp.bin [ 16.905919] Loading firmware: amdgpu/gc_11_0_0_me.bin [ 16.905919] Loading firmware: amdgpu/gc_11_0_0_rlc.bin [ 16.905920] Loading firmware: amdgpu/gc_11_0_0_mec.bin [ 16.905921] Loading firmware: amdgpu/gc_11_0_0_imu.bin [ 16.905922] Loading firmware: amdgpu/sdma_6_0_0.bin [ 16.905923] Loading firmware: amdgpu/vcn_4_0_0.bin [ 16.906095] Loading firmware: amdgpu/gc_11_0_0_mes_2.bin [ 16.906096] Loading firmware: amdgpu/gc_11_0_0_mes1.bin [ 16.906496] amdgpu :03:00.0: amdgpu: Will use PSP to load VCN firmware Also the mesa libraries work just fine, if I disable DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=n, I just get a black tty, but Hyprland starts and I can play games with the expected performance.

Re: [gentoo-user] Suggestions for backup scheme?
Le 30/01/2024 à 19:15, Grant Edwards a écrit : I need to set up some sort of automated backup on a couple Gentoo machines (typical desktop software development and home use). One of them used rsnapshot in the past but the crontab entries that drove that have vanished :/ (presumably during a reinstall or upgrade -- IIRC, it took a fair bit of trial and error to get the crontab entries figured out). I believe rsnapshot ran nightly and kept daily snapshots for a week, weekly snapshots for a month, and monthly snapshots for a couple years. Are there other backup solutions that people would like to suggest I look at to replace rsnapshot? I was happy enough with rsnapshot (when it was running), but perhaps there's something else I should consider? -- Grant I use restic [1] with the S3 backend. It manages snapshots and supports several backends. It is way faster than the previous backup solution I've used (dejadup). It came handy several times when I had to restore a specific file from a point in time. 1: https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-backup/restic

Did you try the not quite so hard "emerge --emptytree -a world" first?
It just recompiles your whole current system again, to make sure everything is
up to date
and has the current set of Use flags. Skips all the initial installation steps,
and keeps all
your /etc config customisations.

One option would be to avoid the menuconfig step entirely, by following any of the kernel configuration alternative listed in the handbook. I usually use the genkernel alternative which doesn't require to configure the kernel. On my last install I tried the distribution kernel alternative, which also went pretty smoothly. Menuconfig is probably one of the trickiest step of the installation process, so you'd save a lot of potential headaches by following one of the alternatives. Paul

[gentoo-user] meson build woes
For the past month or so (since the recent Python version changes) I haven't
been able to
get a full emerge update to complete.
The main culprit seems to be meson, but only because what looks like an
internal Python
module, "setup.py", can't import 'setup' from 'setuptools'
All the remaining failures are either the same error, or dependencies of
packages that get
the error.
I have been trying various combinations of which Python version is the default
and which
versions are in the "PYTHON_TARGETS" variable, but nothing seems to change much.
Rebuilding dev-python/setuptools didn't help either.
My google searches for the error message
"cannot import name 'setup' from 'setuptools'"
also haven't turned up anything that seemed relevent to my system
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try before I rebuild my system
from
scratch?
The relevant section of the build log in included below, and the full log is
attached.
"eselect python list" tells me tjhat the default should be python3.6

[gentoo-user] /usr/portage/distfiles vs /var/cache/distfiles
I recently installed a new server, and noticed that it is using /var/cache/distfiles rather than /usr/portage/distfiles. looking at the documentation, it seems that is the new default, and it says "new installations" will use it. I have older servers which are still using /usr/portage/distfiles. None of them have DISTDIR configured, so I am curious how portage is deciding between "old" and new"? If I wanted to migrate my older boxes to the new location without explicitly setting DISTDIR on them, what do I need to change? Thanks…

Has anybody tried out (or made an ebuild for) the Amazon Corretto jdk package? https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/ This looks like an interesting alternative that is no-cost and promises long term support. It will also be used for almost all AWS java deployments, so it should be well tested and stable.

Once I deleted & re-created the logical volume the newer versions had no problem. Unfortunately, since it was my root partition, that took moving data to a temporary volume, rebooting from there, re-creating the old LV, moving the data back, and rebooting again.

And the even bigger worry would be that a drive replacement and rebuild, which is the whole point of using RAID, may fail. The degraded RAID is working (so far) but a rebuild (unless it is *very* file system aware) needs to read EVERY BLOCK on the existing disks to rebuild the failed drive/s, and if it encounters any failed blocks in unused areas of the RAID it may be unable to complete the rebuild. I have seen this happen in previous positions. Not an easy thing to report to management, and the unexpected downtime to rebuild everything from backups onto new drives can be extensive (and expensive). This is why good RAID systems have a background task that regularly reads and checks every block of every disk, to avoid undetected errors. Hot Spares are also a good safety measure, along with monitoring software that alerts you when the spares have gone live. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?

[gentoo-user] LVM2 problem, meta data format change?
Recently I found that new kernels were not booting for me, because they could not assemble the LVM partition that I use for the root filesystem. Booting back to my old kernel still worked. I have tracked this back to the lvm2 version. After booting with the old kernel, I ran lvm and tried the 'fullreport' command. sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.184-r3 gives an error: lvm> fullreport LV root invalid: visible raid meta LV for raid1 segment LV root invalid: visible raid meta LV for raid1 segment Internal error: LV segments corrupted in root. After backing out to an earlier version, sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.183 the 'fullreport' actually gives a report. I'm assuming the only reason the old kernel boots is that it has the older lvm in the initramfs, and once assembled the handover to the live system still works. I can't find anything online that looks like the same thing to me, so I was wondering if anyone here had encountered a similar problem? The next step is to try and find how to update the on-disk lvm meta data so the later versions understand it, hopefully without having to rebuild my system from scratch. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?

[gentoo-user] openjdk?
So Oracle java has a crappy license now, and I see on the dev list they're even talking about removing it from portage. However, openjdk has no stable version, and the ebuild contains: if use gentoo-vm ; then ewarn "WARNING! You have enabled the gentoo-vm USE flag, making this JDK" ewarn "recognised by the system. This will almost certainly break things." Which doesn't build confidence as far as using it 8-/. icedtea is pretty old. What are people doing for java needs currently? Abusing the Oracle license? Running old icedtea versions? Ignoring the openjdk warning? I've been running the redhat openjdk build under Centos for a while and it seems quite stable, why does Gentoo still consider it not production ready? Thanks...

If there is no other type of data in the file, just "lines with dates" & "blank
lines", then it can be done with just the 'sed' command on it's own:
sed -e 's/.*\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\).*/\1/' YOUR_DATA_FILE

You can add an alternate regular expression that matches the blank lines, but
the '-o' switch will still stop that match from being printed as it is an
'empty' match. The trick is to modify the data on the fly to add a space to the
empty lines. I have also added the '-E' switch to make the regular expression
easier.

Mind you, I'm not even going to attempt to solve your emerge problems, but hopefully this will help you nevertheless. As far as I can determine everybody who uses Gentoo but you does not use your script or anything even remotely like it. As far as I can determine every now and then someone other than you has a merge issue, posts to the list and either gets their issue resolved or, rarely, has run into a legitimate issue and needs to patch, or wait for a bug to get fixed. As far as I can determine you update your system both very rarely, and using a method, if it deserves the name, that defies description and consistently runs into issues. These observations lead me to the following hypothesis: your frequency and way of upgrading are actually the *cause* of your problems. Until proven wrong, I'll stick to my hypothesis and offer you these pieces of advice: 1. update more frequently 2. let portage do what is was designed to do 3. read (and by read I do in fact actually mean try to understand) and follow the veritable heap of advice that was already supplied by the generous souls on this list 4. rename your script to jackass.sh and let that refer to anybody who even thinks about running it I'll bet you that: 1. your updates will go smoother, and 2. you´ll find it easier to get help here if for whatever reason you still run into issues. Best regards and good luck with your update, Paul P.S. I sync almost daily and update if there are no big packages that would interfere with whatever I'm doing. Today's update was done while I was writing this. Once again, no issues. Just one 'emerge @preserved-rebuild' left and I'm done. And I didn't even need to figure that out myself, as portage is telling me. So I can focus on other things, although in this case, only time will tell how useful I spent my time.

I'll go ahead and unmask it and upgrade over Christmas break with a local ebuild then, incorporating the three existing bug fixes and not force enabling the logserver for openrc. I actually use syslog for my logging needs with mythtv.
[gentoo-user] Umasking media-tv/mythtv-0.28?
Any dev thoughts on unmasking media-tv/mythtv-0.28? I don't generally have issues with keywording unstable packages for testing and deploying ahead of the curve, but I usually try to avoid things that are package masked, particularly on relatively production stuff like my daily dose of TV :). It looks like there are three open bugs on 0.28 that might need to be addressed before it gets unmasked: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582218 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582608 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591006 It also seems the current ebuild forces the logserver on if you're not using systemd? The logserver is deprecated and upstream recommends against using it, I'm currently using a local 0.27 ebuild with it disabled using openrc, any particular reason the 0.28 ebuild forces it on if you're using openrc? Thanks...

As a workaround, uninstall kscreen, create a shell script (named say xrandr.sh), and put the appropriate xrandr config in it, mine for example is: #! /bin/sh xrandr --noprimary --output DVI-I-2 --left-of DVI-I-1 Go to the KDE system settings, under startup and shutdown, and add this script in the autostart section as "Pre-KDE startup". This will result in your monitors being placed correctly under 5.6.x until you can upgrade to a version with the kscreen bugfix (at that time, remove this script and reinstall the kscreen ebuild).

You have a couple of options. First, start with "emerge -p whatever" and see what update would happen with no adjustments. Then try again, but specify the version you want and see if that works: "emerge -p =whatever-1.2.3" If it is still trying to install updated versions of libraries or other dependencies, make a file like /etc/portage/package.mask/whatever and block anything higher than the library/dependency versions you already have. A bit more work, but probably not much. However, if you get too far behind, the versions you want may have been removed from the portage tree. This is still not a deal breaker. Old ebuilds are available from the Gentoo attic at https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi and can be installed in a local overlay. (I put mine in /usr/local/portage). Just put "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage" into /etc/portage/make/conf and you should be set. You could also use the local overlay to just add the updated ebuilds for things you do want to upgrade (and required dependency upgrades, etc) but I think that would quickly become very unwieldy. > Other distributions usually (want to) update a lot of packages once you > update the information about available packages. > > >> > Stuff compiled with older gcc's should run with newer libgcc*[0], but > >> > stuff compililed with a newer gcc might not run with the older > >> > libgcc*.

Hi,
I have the following in a perl script:

That will print:
e: '69.99', t: '69.99'
When I replace != with ne (if ($a ne $a) {), it doesn't print.
Is that a bug or a feature? And if it's a feature, what's the
explanation?
!= does a numerical comparison. More on this below
ne does a string comparison. When viewed as a bunch of
characters, 69.99
and 69.99 are identical.
Now, your comparisons are NOT random. They are entirely
predictable, as
long as you know what is going on; you are running into floating
point
numbers. And as it turns out, computers never represent these
things
exactly (they are NOT integers). Even though they look identical
on-screen, in RAM they will not be (this must be so for perl to do the
print). Maybe they actually resolve to 69.99001 and
69.9900. You
see them as close-as-dammit equal, perl sees them as entirely
different.
Why can't it print the number as it is, or at least as it is compared,
like it should? If it would, one could see at once what the problem is.
Your print values are coming from the original variables. The numeric
comparison does an internal conversion to two temporary variables,
and compares those, WITHOUT affecting the original data.
This string to float conversion appears not to be deterministic, if it
converts two identical strings into two different float values, but I don't
know enough about the internals to comment any further.

Re: [gentoo-user] LVM not accessible after reboot
my ideas is that LVM2 is not ready at the time of mounting partitions. how can i do this? I had the same problem on a system where scsi initialization was very slow. Adding rootdelay=30 to the kernel command line fixed it. The 30 is how many seconds should the kernel wait before it starts mounting filesystems. There was an scsi-wait-scan module too, but I think that was removed from recent kernels. Maybe this is not the same problem you have, probably it's quite rare to have a slowly initializing disk subsystem.

I'm curious to know why nepomuk is marked deprecated when it's still in use. It doesn't appear there's a replacement for this functionality. Dan Interesting observation. Long story way, but I hate the whole nepomuk/akonadi stuff and disable it where I can. Looking at kdelibs shows that, yes it is disabled. This just begs the question, why is the ability to show two thumbnails side by side dependant on a file indexer? As to nepomuk being deprecated,, according to its website: https://userbase.kde.org/Nepomuk it's on the way out and something called Baloo in the new greatest thing/debacle since sliced bread. I might have a look at kdelibs as to why there is this dependency, but it looks like I'm going to have to live without my preview pictures Thanks to all who offered ideas etc, Andrew I recently deleted the complete nepomuk cache from my kde profile. The files hadn't been touched since November last year. I have had the nepomuk USE flag enabled for a long time, and I hadn't even noticed that the nefarious nepomuk implementation had been replaced with Baloo. Baloo seems to do what you might expect from a file indexer: it runs in the background and silently indexes you files. You wouldn't even know it's there. Actually I *didn't* notice it was there :-). I think the nepomuk use flag has become a bit of a misnomer by now, because there is no more actual nepomuk to pull in. Maybe it's worth a try to enable it again, and enjoy these pretty previews.

Re: [gentoo-user] Copying/Moving a file in KDE - is the preview missing
Op zondag 7 juni 2015 17:42:37 schreef Andrew Lowe: Hi all, Under KDE, which I use, when you go to move/copy a file and it already exists in the destination, you get a dialogue pop up with a heading of File already exists, it says in the dialogue Source and Destination with the respective paths underneath then underneath that a big expanse of nothing then below that some stuff including the Overwrite/Skip/Cancel buttons. My question relate to the expanse of nothingness. For example, if I'm moving/copying image files, should there be a preview of the two files in this nothingness? Is there some USE flag I've stuffed up that has disabled this. This happens, in my experience with Dolphin and Gwenview, but I'm assuming they both use a standard Qt/KDE dialogue so others probably display this behaviour as well. Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Andrew Hi Andrew, If I try to copy a file that already exists in the destination folder, I do indeed get preview images and some metadata, not a vast expanse of nothingness. For example, when copying a jpg the dialog shows thumbnails of the source and the destination, and underneath each image the type, size, width, height and the date it was last modified. Below that is an input field where an alternative name can be entered, which presumably you still have. Finally there are the buttons. As for what triggers the presence/absence of the preview, I have no idea. Paul

Is View/Preview a system setting somewhere, an application setting or you can't remember the actual title and it could be view or preview??? Thanks for the suggestion, Andrew . In Konqueror, Settings up top, Configure Konqueror. In the new window, expand File Management, click General then click the tab Previews. I have videos, images etc checked here. I can see previews of the files while navigating around so I knew this was set already, but checked to make sure there wasn't something new here. You're not alone tho. I have the same as you. Weird. Dale :-) :-) Well, nothing substantial comes to mind, but I have a few suggestions/questions to investigate. Have you tried with another, or a new, user? Do you use a custom theme? If so, you could switch it back and see if that makes any difference/ Is your disk full? Are both directories local, or are you copying to or from a remote directory? Paul

You can check man ssh_config for some other options to use, for example the User is very useful too. Here are some more tricks: https://blog.flameeyes.eu/2011/01/mostly-unknown-openssh-tricks There is a package net-misc/keychain which is useful to add your keys to the agent, and handles gpg keys too. Also note that most ssh servers allow only 3-5 authentication attempts, so if you have more than 2 keys in your agent, then connecting to a server with password authentication might fail. If you need to keep security boundaries but don't want to give up the convenience of ssh agent forwarding then you can use ssh-ident, as described here: http://rabexc.org/posts/pitfalls-of-ssh-agents (unfortunately no gentoo package for that one, but it's just a single python file).

Re: [gentoo-user] Question for users of the Firefox browser
Op zondag 17 mei 2015 13:52:21 schreef Andrew Lowe: Hi all, I've been using Firefox for ages and something struck me recently as a bit odd. In the Windows version, if I click up into the address or search boxes, the existing contents are highlighted and if I begin typing, the existing text is deleted and what I'm typing becomes the contents. On the Linux version, under KDE, it doesn't. I have to click into the appropriate edit box, highlight the contents and start typing or hit either home/end and then start deleting before typing my new URL. If, for example, the existing text happens to be a google search string, this can be quite a bit of text to delete. So my question, I suppose, is multipart: 1) Is this by design? Is this the normal behaviour? 2) Have I set a USE flag wrong somewhere that causes this behaviour? 3) How do people get around the problem I mentioned above regarding long URL's, such as a Google search results? Any thoughts, greatly appreciated, Andrew Hi Andrew, You might be interested in these settings (from about:config): browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll You can configure what happens when you click in the address bar. I have no idea why the defaults on win/linux are different, though, Cheers, Paul

Re: [gentoo-user] Strange new behavior from the mount command
On Sat, 18 Apr 2015 11:48:12 walt wrote: I have two similar but not identical ~amd64 machines, and *one* of the two machines is doing something new and strange when I type mount with no arguments. The bad machine prints the list of mounted filesystems as it should, but then proceeds to read the partition table on every disk in the machine and writes a fresh version of /run/blkid/blkid.tab . This has the very annoying side effect of spinning up any sleeping disks, including the floppy disk (but not the dvd player, thankfully). I re-installed util-linux, which installs the mount utility, but no difference. (The two machines both have util-linux-2.26.1-r1). This new behavior began on April 14, FWIW, and the only package I installed on that machine that day was gentoo-sources-3.14.38, which is why I blamed the new kernel for the new behavior but I discovered since then that it happens with all the old kernels too. I'm stumped. Any ideas? Are you sure they are both running the same mount command? What does 'type mount' or 'which mount' show for each machine? Is the 'bad' machine perhaps using the '-l' option, which looks like it may need to read information from partitions on the fly: -l, --show-labels Add the labels in the mount output. mount must have permission to read the disk device (e.g. be suid root) for this to work. One can set such a label for ext2, ext3 or ext4 using the e2label(8) utility, or for XFS using xfs_admin(8), or for reiserfs using reiserfstune(8). On the other hand, using '-l' on my machine didn't appear to try anything, and didn't rewrite /run/blkid/blkid.tab but that may be because I don't use labels. -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?

I believe imap and smtp are off by default, at least they were when I first installed mutt, my package use flags are: mail-client/muttsasl gpg imap smime smtp I think kerberos is pulled in for me by a global use flag. gpg and smime are only needed if you want to work with encrypted/signed email. I don't think I needed sasl but left it there in case someday I wanted to play with kerberos auth. Relevant lines from my muttrc are: set smtp_url=smtp://username@gmail@smtp.gmail.com:587/ set folder=imaps://imap.gmail.com/ set imap_user=username@gmail.com unset record set postponed=imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts set spoolfile==INBOX set header_cache=$HOME/.mutt/header_cache/gmail It works reasonably well. My main complaint is that it fairly regularly drops my persistant connection and I need to reconnect. That's most annoying when I just went through 100 emails and deleted many, and it drops the connection before the delete has been synced :(. Other than that it works fine. We recently switched to office365 at work, and it has the same problem with dropped imap connections. I'm not sure if they just both occasionally boot annoying imap users who have hung out too long or if mutt has issues with imap over a possibly flaky remote connection. Good luck...
