You can try killing the process named /usr/bin/X. I was in a similar
situation once and this worked, don't know how safe it is.

I forgot about the internal menuconfig search feature. After googling
UIDGID_CONVERTED I found this:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7215718.html

Apparently, I'm not the only one with this issue.

So, I searched for UIDGID_CONVERTED in menuconfig and only see it as a
bool and no dependency. However, if I:
echo "CONFIG_UIDGID_CONVERTED=y" >> .config
and then make menuconfig, this goes away as well - so I'm guessing
this has dependencies I haven't found. Though, I grep that option in
the kernel source tree and I only see two things that are documented
as "depends on" it and the listing for the option - I see nothing that
uses it.

Apparently 3.8 came out 2/15 and this patch is a few days later. I'm
not sure if this has any correlation to my issue?

[gentoo-user] netmount and nfs mounts

2013-02-27 Thread Francisco Ares 
Hello,

After a recent update (a few months) the init script "netmount" does not
work as expected and as it once did. There are some nfs mounts available in
a remote server, they are correctly set up in /etc/fstab (I know that
because later after boot, I am able to mount those nfs mounts just by
typing as root "mount [nfsmount]").

I have already added rpc.statd to the default runlevel.

Any hints?

Thanks
Francisco

Are you aware that menuconfig has a search option?

press "/" just like vi or less, enter "USER_NS" and get:

If downgrading nvidia-drivers doesn't help check your power supply. My
computer exhibited this issue a while back because the voltages went all
wonky and the hardware really didn't like it - I could still ssh in from
my tablet but the entire computer appeared frozen.

If I just ran at the console (ie not starting X) the computer would work
fine all day.

I don't know what nvidia card you have but mine requires two extra power
connectors but the PSU just couldn't supply enough power to keep the GPU
stable.

Have you tried updating your whole system and possibly a revdep-rebuild?

I remember one KDE upgrade I did quite a while ago did something like
that and revdep-rebuild fixed it. I think it had to recompile kdelibs
and something else but your case may be different.

Hi,

I have had that same behaviour for some months now, but wasn't able to find
the cause. I am now suspicious of one of the browsers (I use Firefox and
Chrome, and always kept them opened), because all I could get was a kernel
log message referring to browser traffic (?) prior to one of those freezes.
For a few days now,  I always close the browsers, and have had no freeze.

Good luck, and please keep us updated.
Francisco

I have a: GeForce GTS 450
It was flawless until recent upgrade; I don't suspect power supply.
It only freeze on me two times and right after upgrade; the last time was when I hit a link in thunder-bird email client but I think it has happen when I open a link in 
firefox as well (don't remember).

I'll keep monitoring it.  I did not upgrade the kernel only the nvidia driver.

Alon!
you were absolutely right. What I did before rebuilding a newer kernel,
is taking the config from the previoud.

so, instead just building the kernel straight away, I took a look in
netfilter and activated EVERYTHING (except debug and experimental
modules) in the netfilter section.


And it works.


Thank you!

[gentoo-user] Changing static IP remotely...

2013-02-27 Thread Jarry 

Hi Gentoo users,

what is the proper way of changing static IP-address remotely
without the need to restart the whole system (or locking
me out)?

I have one interface with static IP, so first I'm going to edit
/etc/conf.d/net. Then I will set up command for later execution:

# echo '#!/bin/bash' > /root/eth-restart
# echo '/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart' >> /root/eth-restart
# chmod 0700 /root/eth-restart
# at -f /root/eth-restart now + 5 min

Then I terminate my ssh-session hoping 5 minutes later
I can connect using new IP. Is this correct and all that
is necessary?

I think that is correct but not necessary.

just using a temporary IP address.

assume your remote host network interface is eth0, the original IP is
addr1, the last IP is addr2, the temporary IP is addr3.

You can start a ssh session to addr1, and bind a temporary IP to the
interface using:

# ifconfig eth0:0 addr3

then terminate the ssh session, start a new session to addr3.

changing the eth0's IP address to addr2

finally, you can start a ssh session to the last IP address *addr2*

and release the temporary IP.
# ifconfig eth0:0 down
