Actually, I log into KDE as a user and when Konsole opens, it asks for the root password. I have the KDE session saved so it opens all this on its own. Anyway, since I have it set that way, Konsole never opens, I assume because it can't find the su command. I have been doing it this way since back in the KDE3 days. It has never done this before. I finally got around to rebooting to check on this, hence the delay in replying, and found this in the boot up process, the stuff that scrolls up the screen. I'm having to type this in since it is NOT in dmesg or the logs but just printed on the screen. dracut: switching root switch_root: failed to mount moving /dev to /sysroot/dev: Invaild argument switch_root: forcing unmount of /dev switch_root: failed to unlink dev: Directory not empty INIT: version 2.88 booting Keep in mind, the three middle lines with the problems are NOT shown in dmesg, messages or anywhere else but the screen. I had to boot with nox to even see this. This is what ticks me on this mess. With the way it logs things, you better hope you got video buffer to scroll up with or you don't get to see the failure. Also, while booted with the init thingy, I made sure the real / partition was mounted. It shows sda3 was mounted and based on the space used, I believe it. I got to clean out some old kernels pretty soon. ;-) I'm attaching the results from the ls command. It's a bit lengthy. o_O Thanks. Sorry for the delay.

I'm not really an expert with ngingx and php-fpm, but afaict the error is in
the location line in nginx.conf.
You have:
location ~ .php$ {
...
Afaik this only matches the exact file ".php"
Try changing it to
location ~ ^(.*)\.php$ {
...
This would match all files ending in ".php"

Re: [gentoo-user] Tips for saving power needed...
Hi, maybe write your hw configuration first. Eg: CPUs, graphic cards, HDDs (size, speed, type) and others. Also provide lspci output and /proc/cpuinfo. Then this is a server, maybe with more than one GB nic. If you dont use spare nics disable them in bios. Do the same with other unneeded stuff. If you can access your server and replace cards, remove everything you dont need. Do not lower fans or dont play with cpu voltage. If you want to run this server 24/7 it can cause serious problems. It will not save you much power. Paradoxly this could lead to higher power usage in some cases, because of hotter devices. Remove spare memory cards, if you dont need much memory, etc. Robert.

thanks for advice. But nothing happen the result is same like before.
Blank website, no phpinfo output.
In logs stand only "closed keepalive connection, can it be that something
in php-fpm.conf not correct is set?

to get more info from nginx, try to increase the log level, eg
error_log /var/log/nginx/error_log debug;
php-fpm.conf looks correct to me.
You include fastcgi.conf. Could you post the contents?

Add this to your kernel command line: rd.debug rd.udev.debug Also, remove quiet and splash (if any) from the kernel command line. All this info is in the dracut man pages: man dracut man dracut.cmdline > Also, while booted with the init thingy, I made sure the real / > partition was mounted.

As I said last mail, could you check if in the shell that Krusader provides, what it's the result of "which su"? And also, what happens when (inside the shell from Krusader) you run /bin/su? Also, an "ls -l /bin/su" would be helpful (even from the virtual console: Ctrl+Alt+F1); it may be a permissions related thing. I think you can make that "ls /bin/su"; it seems that you have "ls" aliased to "ls -l". The listing of your initramfs seems fine; therefore, probably the problem is elsewhere. Again, please show us your fstab, and lets also see your kernel command line (in either GRUB, GRUB2 or LILO, whichever you use). And, I repeat, if you want to see the dracut output in dmesg, add the following to your kernel command line: rd.debug rd.udev.debug and remove "splash" and "quiet" from it, if they are set.

Re: [gentoo-user] Tips for saving power needed...
There's "powertop" that I use, which shows a listing of things that are keeping the computer busy. And it gives recommendations on how to lower power usage (including setting kernel options, enabling/disabling stuff in /sys, etc...). It also estimates power consumption in Watts and gives you approx time left. Many recomendations already posted in this emails will be suggested by powertop.

KDE no longer allows a person to login as root and I think it is a good idea as well. So, when I need to emerge something, edit a config file or do other things as root, then su or kdesu comes in handy. ;-) I am able to open about anything as root if needed.

Why do you have /boot/bzImage-3.2.11-1 in the initramfs kernel, but (hd0,0)/bzImage-3.2.11-1 in the other one? You have /boot in another partition, so in both cases you should have something similar to root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,1)/bzImage-3.2.11-1 ... isn't? (where "(hd0,1)" is your /boot partition, since you do use labels, I don't know the exact number). Could it be possible that you are booting with an older kernel when using the initramfs entry without noticing it? Can you "umount /boot" in your machine and see if there is a kernel in there, and if it's different from the one in the actual /boot partition? In any case, the two grub entries are certainly not "identical" besides the initrd line (maybe they should be?). Also, can a have a look at your /usr/src/linux/.config file?

The udev ebuild ask for: CONFIG_CHECK="~BLK_DEV_BSG ~DEVTMPFS ~HOTPLUG ~INOTIFY_USER ~NET ~PROC_FS ~SIGNALFD ~SYSFS ~!IDE ~!SYSFS_DEPRECATED ~!SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2" The dracut ebuild ask for: CONFIG_CHECK="~BLK_DEV_INITRD ~DEVTMPFS ~MODULES" So please check that you have all those options (and don't have the ones with !), recompile your kernel, and reboot. Also, the divergence between /boot/kernel... and (hd0,0)/kernel... in your grub could be causing funny things. Check that also.

And I had lots of problems with it - in combination with ati-drivers fglrx module (blank on boot, freeze while starting X, generell crashes and kernel panics, low performence...,...). So I finally decided not to use kms disable everything related to kms. Since then everything is running smoothly. Two weeks ago, I purchased an new video card (Radeon HD7770) and gave kms another shot. And again, everything went down the crapper. So disabled it. I can live without it for the time being. But still, I would be interested in the "why?".

After all, it just symlinks to itself. At least mine does here anyway. ;-) As to the kernel, it boots the exact same kernel. That is the only kernel I have for that version.

You either turn it on or off. Of course, you'll need a whole-kernel compile, but that's it. If you use menuconfig, IIRC there's another option right under DEVTMPFS' one that offers to mount devtmpfs on boot. If you turn that on, you *might* get away without a /dev in fstab. Rgds,

Dale doesn't need /dev on fstab (nobody does); I only asked about it since I had no information about the dracut failure trying to mount /dev.

[gentoo-user] trouble understanding a slot conflict
A normal update world turned up the error below (~amd64, gnome profile) !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: sys-apps/pciutils:0 (sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by >=sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1[-compress-db] required by (sys-fs/udev-171-r5::gentoo, installed) (sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot) I certainly see where -r1 and -r2 would be a slot conflict but 1. The comment with -r1 says it needs >= -r1, so why would -r2 work? 2. The comment with -r2 seems to say -r2 is not really needed and -r1 would work. The first one seems to say -r2 would be fine for everything; the second that -r1 would be fine for everything. But clearly neither is fine for everything since I have a slot conflict with both versions needed. Could someone please explain this? thanks, allan

Actually, the initramfs finished without a single error: between [1.962007] dracut: + source_conf /etc/conf.d and [2.395576] dracut: Switching root there is not a single error. The initramfs did what it needed to do; the user space failed *after* initramfs switched root. Did you recreated the initramfs after the kernel recompilation? 1st rule of non-trivial initramfs: you need to recreate it everytime you change kernels. Which partition is the LVM one? /home or /data? Either way, either partition should not matter to boot the system correctly. We need to see the errors *after* the initramfs switched root; maybe you can delete /var/log/messages, reboot, and post it?

The question is why you still > have the old version of udev. Did you maybe mask the newer udev to avoid > the infamous separate-usr-partition-is-deprecated problem? Yes indeed I have it masked for exactly that reason. I will be going to a combined / + /usr when the semester ends. I use this machine for my lectures and assignments so prefer to break it from late may through august. I just tried masking the -r2 (and higher) pciutils. But this conflicts with a newly-required hwids-2012-0401. The later is required by a new usbutils-005-r1 This led me to mask >=usbutils-005-r1. Now the proposed update world leaves portage happy, but me worried. I haven't actually done the update world. It is reasonably to have so much masking? (The output of the update --ask world is below) I am wondering if it would be safer to not update at all for 6 weeks. Then, with the semester over, try the huge update and if it is too hard to get working, do a reinstall. That certainly doesn't sound appealing. Does the following seem like too much masking or does it seem reasonable? in /etc/portage/package.mask (a directory) I have. README # First masked udev-181 to postpone needing to combine / and /usr # This then required masking consolekit # At that point things were OK for a while # # Now (2 april) I need to mask the new pciutils since the new one # causes a mysterious-to-me slot conflict. # This mask blocks hwids, which a new usbutils requires. # So I mask the new usbutils. # Now portage is willing to do the update. Success?? # The lvm mask is related but is probably a bug in lvm # (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409921) so I have # that one in a separate file udev-181 >=sys-fs/udev-181 >=sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5-r3 >=sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r2 >=sys-apps/usbutils-005-r1 lvm-2.01.95 >=sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.95 allan PS. I still don't understand the two error msgs from portage given in my previous msg, neither of which indicate to me a real problem. But that is more for my education and ability to decipher them better in the future than for fixing any problem. PPS.

And then I created /run/plymouth in my root file system, while this time system shows "plymouthd could not start boot splash: No such file or directory". I checked my Ubuntu virtual machine, which plymouth works well, there is no /run/plymouth directory in initram file system or real root file system. I googled this problem and found some guys had faced the same problem with me, but nobody have a solution. This is my first time to ask for help in the list, and this is even my first time to use a mailing list. Sorry for my poor English.
[gentoo-user] Apache upgrade to 2.4 error AH00027: Buggy authn provider failed to set user
I've just upgraded to 2.4 and am using mod_access_compat, so I can use the existing auth config in the short term. I've fixed a few things and now the daemon loads cleanly, however, when i try to get the anonymously available front page, it returns a 500 and error.log shows; [Tue Apr 03 16:13:33.595505 2012] [core:error] [pid 20896:tid 139858125358848] [client u.x.y.z:16567] AH00027: Buggy authn provider failed to set user for / At a password protected directory (there's an .htaccess) it also returns 500 and the log is; [Tue Apr 03 16:15:50.244851 2012] [core:alert] [pid 20895:tid 139858125358848] [client u.x.y.z:20702] /blah/blah/.htaccess: Invalid command 'Require', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Shouldn't "Require" from the .htaccess file be recognised by mod_access_compat? Any ideas about the AH00027 error?
