[gentoo-user] utf-8 puzzling behavior with cygwin xterms

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

I am experiencing a weird behavior of utf-8 when g++ sends compilation
info to the screen. 

In one case (the "remote" case) I use a cygwin x-term to issue a ssh to
connect to the target machine B, but I must connect to a firewall
machine A first. Therefore I typically use a single command

ssh -X -t [EMAIL PROTECTED] ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In this case, all g++ messages to the screen come out correctly. The
non-ascii characters are typically curved quotes.

In a second case I am local and do not need to login to the firewall
machine so I do

ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Here the g++ messages to the screen come out wrong. Anything that is in
between curved quotes does not show up including the quotes. This has
the disruptive effect of making all compiler error messages useless
since the symbols between quotes are not visible and I can't tell what
the compiler is complaining about. All I see is the character *a* with a
circumflex accent on top of it.

I always thought the problem was the cygwin x-term not being able to
handle utf-8 but now I know this is not the problem since the remote
case works fine. 

The puzzling thing is that if I am local but I do a remote login, I have
problems with non-ascii characters. However if I am non-local and I do
(need to) a remote login, everything is fine.

Sorry for the long description of the problem. Any insight appreciated.

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] building with off_t set as long long

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

Would anyone know whether it is possible to emerge a package setting
off_t as long long?

The particular case is the library gdbm. The default emerge sets off_t
to 4 bytes therefore file sizes can only be about 2GB. Setting off_t to
8 bytes would remove this constraint.

[gentoo-user] origin of kernel module: scsi_wait_scan.mod ??

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

I am compiling a vanilla-sources 2.6.24.4 kernel (2008.0_beta2 minimal
install) and no matter what I do to disable scsi support I end up with a
scsi module (scsi_wait_scan.mod) after compilation. When looking at the
.config file I see

CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DMA=y

CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m

CONFIG_SCSI_SPI_ATTRS=y

All of these should not be set because I did not enable them in
menuconfig. Something else is setting those. Would someone know what? I
turned off usb support completely in menuconfig. I don't need usb
support anyway since this is a virtualbox guest OS install.

Thank you for you help,

[gentoo-user] emerge-webrsync

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

After using emerge-webrsync I got


> Updating Portage cache:  100%

 *** Completed websync, please now perform a normal rsync if possible.
 Update is current as of the of MMDD: 20090219

I am not sure what the message means "perform a normal rsync if
possible." I used emerge-webrsync because emerge --sync does not work.
Do I still have to do anything else to update the portage tree? Also, I
did not get the typical message warning about a new portage version
(after emerge-webrsync finished) but I did   emerge --oneshot portage
anyway and got a new portage. Is this supposed to behave this way?

[gentoo-user] glibc unmerged by accident

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

After a successful upgrade from profile 2006.1 to 2007.0, I decided to
unmerge some unused packages from world and accidentally had glibc on
the emerge command line from a cut and paste operation.

glibc was unmerged and now I can't use common shell commands such as ls
or cp to list and copy files from a backup.

I am thinking that to fix this I will have to boot from a cd and emerge
glibc. 

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks,

I think I can do that. I have other machines I can build a binary glibc
package on. Then once I boot from a live cd I should be able to copy to
the machine I messed up.

I was unlucky and stupid for using cut and paste commands while
distracted looking at another screen. I didn't look back until the
unmerge countdown period was over.

This is true. After booting from a CD, 

   chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash 

does not work.

Indeed the solution was to build glibc-2.6.1.tbz2 with quickpkg on
another machine (luckily I had one) and scp into the damaged machine
when booted from the CD. Then copying all the files into their
respective places inside /mnt/gentoo/...
Also need to check symbolic links etc. Not a pleasant work.

Then chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash finally works. After that, an emerge
of glibc solves the problem.

Thanks for the inputs.

[gentoo-user] dev-libs/apr-0.9.12 pulled back by revdep-rebuild

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

How do I find out why apr-0.9.12 and apr-util-0.9.12 are pulled back
when using revdep-rebuild? What I have currently is:

---
->emerge --search apr

Here is the result from revdep-rebuild.


--
->revdep-rebuild --pretend --verbose

Checking reverse dependencies...

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run
revdep-rebuild.

[gentoo-user] memtest86+ taking too long

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

After looking at the /var/log/messages file, I saw an entry which seemed
to indicate a memory address problem. I decided to run memtest86+.
However it is taking too long. So far 17 hours and still going. The
"Pass" field reads 25%; I hope this is an indication of how much of the
total has been done. The "Test" field is frequently updated so it seems
memtest is running. The total memory is 10GB, the chipset: Intel E7505
ECC. 

Is this execution time expected?

Wow. In fact I don't have a clue when it is going to end. There are 2 fields 
with varying percentage values; but they get cleared from time to time. Another 
field is called "Test" and it was #3 (I think), and now it is at #4. So far it 
has taken 20:35h. On the upside, no errors detected.

RE: [gentoo-user] missing libraries in mesa-6.5.2-r1 emerge ??

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Additional info and question.

>From the log of the install of mesa-6.5.2-r1 I see

make[2]: Entering directory
`/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/mesa-6.5.2-r1/work/Mesa-6.5.2/src'
Making sources for linux-dri-x86
mkdir ../lib

which looks like it is doing a "make linux-dri-x86". I would rather have
it do "make linux" which I expect it will create the off-screen missing
library. 

Therefore, is there a way to tell the ebuild to use the make option
"linux" as opposed to linux-dri-x86? I suppose this could have an impact
on the packages that depend on mesa-6.5.2-r1.

Thanks for any comments/answers.

[gentoo-user] guest additions for vbox-1.6 gentoo guest on xp host

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

Has anyone been able to install successfully the guest additions in a
vbox-1.6 gentoo guest?

I get the following when installing the additions:

  Verifying archive integrity... All good.
  Uncompressing VirtualBox 1.6.0 Guest Additions for Linux installation

  ...
  VirtualBox 1.6.0 Guest Additions installation
  Which: no dkms in
  (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin...)
  Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel module...
  Building the shared folder support kernel module...
  Installing the VirtualBox Guest Additions...

  Could not set up the X Window VBoxClient service.
  To start the VBoxClient service at log-in for a given user, add the
command 98vboxadd-xclient to the file .xinitrc in their home directory.
  Successfully installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions.
  Your must restart

The Auto-Resize Guest Display in the vbox does not work, and seemless
mode is grayed out.

Also the screen size in my   /etc/X11/xorg.conf   does not work as it
should. 

Any inputs appreciated.

Thanks,

It is clean.

There is no 98vboxadd-xclient in my gentoo guest system. So I run
vboxadd-xclient within .xinitrc. However I also have tried from an xterm
and here is the result

Unable to connect to the host system.
Failed to connect to the host system.

Don't know where to go from here. Are there options when running
/usr/bin/vboxadd-xclient?

Yup.

I tend to agree.

Sorry I confused you. My host is a Windows XP. The guest addition is
certainly from vbox-1.6

RE: [gentoo-user] guest additions for vbox-1.6 gentoo guest on xp host

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Just to close this thread with a fix.

Instead of running vboxadd-xclient in the .xinitrc file, run
VBoxClient.

The seamless mode works and the auto-resize guest display works too.

Enjoy an almost fully functional gentoo guest inside windows xp. The
only issue still pending is sharing the clipboard.

[gentoo-user] profile upgrade from 2005.1 to 2006.1

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

After an emerge sync, I followed the instructions in

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml

for updating to 2006.1.

Proceeding to the system update:

->emerge --update --deep --newuse --pretend --verbose system

I get this error message before the list of packages


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating system dependencies  
Parse Error reading PROVIDE and USE in
'/var/db/pkg/x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4'
Possibly Invalid: 'virtual/x11 opengl? virtual/opengl opengl?
virtual/glu virtual/xft'
Exception: Conditional without parenthesis: 'opengl?'
*

Is this related to the current modular use of X11? Later in the output

7.1.

I did unmerge my old X and the message went away.

Indeed by emerge unmerge the old X the blocking message also went away.
And the new many X11 subpackages are being pulled in.

A related issue. My current gcc version is 3.3.6 and the new profile is
pulling an update

[ebuild U ] sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6-r1 [3.3.6] USE="doc%* fortran nls
(-altivec) -bootstrap -boundschecking -build -gcj -gtk* (-hardened)
-ip28 -ip32r10k% (-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nocxx -nopie
-nossp -objc -test% -vanilla (-static%)" 47 kB

and also the new 4.1.

[ebuild  NS   ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r3  USE="doc fortran nls (-altivec)
-bootstrap -build -gcj -gtk (-hardened) -ip28 -ip32r10k -mudflap
(-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nocxx -objc -objc++ -objc-gc -test
-vanilla" 38,326 kB

I am worried about some of the flags. Notably, -nocxx. The description
of this flag in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc

nocxx - Disable support for C++ (DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE DOING)

-nocxx is been set by the 2006.1 profile; I guess.

Any inputs as far as what flags to change?

Also is gcc-4.1 in a pretty good shape to use?

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] non-existing/masked ebuilds during upgrade from 2005.1 to 2006.1

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

I am rebuilding world as part of an upgrade from profile 2005.1 to
2006.1.

emerge -eav world

The corresponding system emerge finished okay. At the beginning of the
output of the aforementioned command I get.

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all
!!! masked or don't exist:
media-video/nvidia-glx media-video/nvidia-kernel app-shells/csh
x11-misc/gtkdiff sci-libs/lapack

I can't find sci-libs/lapack (emerge --search lapack). Could someone
tell me how is portage looking for it? I think I had it installed before
the upgrade. None of the nvidia stuff is currently installed but were
installed before the system emerge. I can't find gtkdiff but csh is
indeed masked:

Indeed system has been upgraded with gcc 4.1; it was a bit tricky.

Agreed. I used -e in the last upgrade step of system to rebuild it with
gcc 4.1 and ended up using for world.

There was a simple solution to this. Although emerge --search can't find
the packages, emerge --unmerge will unmerge them. So do emerge --search
nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel csh gtkdiff lapack

Then proceed with an emerge -eav world so the whole thing is rebuild
with the new gcc-4.1 compiler... Phew, over 600 packages will be
recompiled.

[gentoo-user] persistent broken dynamic link notice from revdep-rebuild

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

As part of the final stage of a long upgrade from profile 2005.1 to
2006.1, I get many messages from revdep-rebuild of broken links to files
that are not part of any installed package but were in the past. For
instance:


broken /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.1.8/modules-Q16/coders/art.la (requires
/-lstdc++)


As part of World, imagemagick-6.3.0.5-r1 is now installed and the file
art.la is found at

/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.3.0/modules-Q16/coders/art.la

Also the libstdc++ installation status is:

I also run revdep-rebuild twice as suggested by the final message after
running the first time but still the broken link messages continue to
appear. 

Any thoughts on how to obtain a clean revdep-rebuild run?

Thanks,

Yes I am going around with a fine tooth comb and fixing things. Still a

woods as this upgrade seems to be working.

This is a small thing but here is the current result from 

->revdep-rebuild --pretend

Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run
revdep-rebuild.

This happens over and over again. The package blackdown-jdk is not in
world and according to equerry depends blackdown-jdk a lot of other
packages depend on it. I unmerged it and did an emerge --update --newuse
--deep world, followed by an emerge --depclean, and still revdep-rebuild
complains about the broken link, reemerges the package with --oneshot
option and continues to do that after each revdep-rebuild. The library
libasound.so.2 is not on the system. This looks like a bug...and yes it
is:

[gentoo-user] all digest files missing for portage update after rsync with local server

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list.

My local rsync server has been upgraded to the 2006.1 profile
(gcc-4.2.2). All my other boxes that sync against the local server have
problems with missing digest files.

I follow the instructions in
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Local_Rsync_Mirror and
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/rsync.xml to create my own local rsync
server. 

An emerge --sync on the boxes updates the portage tree but the next
step: emerge portage, complains about missing digest files. I have to
manually create the digest files with 

!!! Type "ebuild foo.ebuild digest" to generate it.

for each foo.ebuild.

Does anyone know what the problem is? It seems to be the rsync server
configuration since the server had no problem with the portage tree
upgrade.

Thanks for any inputs.

PS: After the emerge --sync an emerge --search on any package returns:

Here it is what I did for the record. On my local rsync server I set
PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS in /etc/make.conf as in /etc/make.globals but removed
--filter=...

Then, still on my local rsync server I did an emerge --sync so the
digest files are pulled in. I also did an update of system and world.
BTW here are two warnings obtained (ignored for now)

--- Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9-p20070325

!!! A file listed in the Manifest could not be found:
/usr/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils/files/nfs.confd.old

!!! Fetch for /usr/portage/net-fs/nfs-utils/nfs-utils-1.0.12.ebuild
failed, continuing...

Now on my other boxes I proceeded with an emerge --sync to sync the
portage tree with the local rsync server. A new portage version was
available, then I issued an emerge portage. At the end of the emerge,
the cache was updated on its own. Nevertheless I did do emerge
--metadata. Is this the right time to do this?

Should the information you sent be included in the rsync documentation?
In the handbook

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=2

the section on 

"PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS sets a number of default variables used during sync,
each space-separated. These shouldn't be changed unless you know exactly
what you're doing. Note that certain absolutely required options will
always be used even if PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS is empty"

does not welcome users to explore rsync.

Thanks for your help.

[gentoo-user] Invalid atom in =media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9-p20070325

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

After a recent sync I get 

Invalid atom in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9-p20070325

anytime I issue an emerge command.

I wonder whether this is particular to my system.

Thanks,

Could you please verify these entries in your

Now that my rsync local server has been upgraded to portage 2.1.2.2,
should I still keep

[gentoo-user] keyboard autorepeat rates

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

Does anyone know what controls the keyboard autorepeat rate? This is for

[gentoo-user] xterm settings with utf-8 unicode

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

Sometimes I use an xterm in cygwin to login to gentoo boxes and I have problems 
with font display. For instance I see in the cygwin xterm:

src/ports/Mod4_initdt.f90:1: warning: unused variable â
src/ports/Mod4_initdt.f90:1: warning: unused variable â

when I should see

src/ports/Mod4_initdt.f90:1: warning: unused variable 'charvec_ptr'
src/ports/Mod4_initdt.f90:1: warning: unused variable 'ivec_ptr'

The latter I obtain by running an xterm remotely on the gentoo box. However it 
is not always convenient to fire up xterms on the remote machine.

Would anyone know what is missing either on the cygwin or gentoo ends to get 
this working? Almost everything displays correctly most of the time. Sometimes 
I have a few characters not correctly displayed on man pages. This problem 
started after I upgraded to profile 2006.1 with unicode utf-8 character 
encoding. The gentoo emerge --info is

Portage 2.1.2.2 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.18.6

IIRC, it is not possible to get a complete file list without actually
compiling the package, because the different USE flags declared change
which files will be installed.

However, if you are willing to build the package without actually
installing it to your system, you can run emerge with the '-B' option
to build a binary package. This command creates a .tbz2 archive
containing all of the files that would be installed by the package,
which you can then browse through.

HTH,

Matt

[gentoo-user] System.map not found - unable to check symbols

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

Following closely the instrunctions on the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook, I
installed gentoo recently (info below) and just did the first reboot
before finalizing the installation. All worked except for this message
during boot

System.map not found - unable to check symbols.

which doesn't seem to cause problems during/after booting (??).

I did a manual kernel compilation and the handbook didn't say anything
about copying System.map to /boot. On a second attempt to reboot I did
copied System.map to /boot. My grub.conf follows below. In /boot I have
System.map and System.map-2.6.15.1 files (System.map is a soft link).

Thanks for any help.

I tried the make all option and it added a /boot -> .
Inside /boot. Also, a menu.lst file was created inside /boot/grub that
points to grub.conf. Other than that there no changes/additions we made.

I rebooted and had the same problem occurring:

To do this, I always do:

make all modules_install install

This will do all the necessary steps.

I tried multiple times, different ways installing the kernel (vanilla
sources) and reinstalling grub. Still the same message of "System.map

[gentoo-user] setting up rsh and rlogin

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

I am setting up rsh and rlogin services between machines x1 and x2.
Following info on the web I go it working from x1 to x2. However when
going from x2 to x1 I get:

x2$ rsh x1 uptime
poll: protocol failure in circuit setup

x2$ rlogin x1
rcmd: x1: Connection reset by peer

I think I setup the configuration pretty symmetric between the machines
but don't seem to find the mistake.

Also on the log file in machine x1 I get the following when doing an rsh

May 11 17:50:50 x1 xinetd[7279]: START: shell pid=7346
from=192.168.0.102
May 11 17:50:50 x1 xinetd[7346]: FAIL: shell address
May 11 17:50:50 x1 xinetd[7279]: EXIT: shell status=0 pid=7346
duration=0(sec)

and for rlogin

May 11 17:52:16 x1 xinetd[7349]: FAIL: login address
May 11 17:52:16 x1 xinetd[7279]: START: login pid=7349
from=192.168.0.102
May 11 17:52:16 x1 xinetd[7279]: EXIT: login status=0 pid=7349
duration=0(sec)


Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

I knew I was going to get this question. These machines stay behind 2
firewalls and virtually have no connection to the outside network. So,
no reason to have secure internet service installed.

[gentoo-user] livecd does not boot after gentoo install

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

After using a livecd to make a successful gentoo install, I tried to
boot from the livecd again but in every attempt the bios keep booting
grub from the hard drive. If I remove the hard drive from the list of
boot devices in the bios and force it to boot from the CD rom I get the
message: OS not found; I am sure the livecd is in the CD rom but
apparently it is recognized.

Any inputs on this problem appreciated.

Thanks,

FW: [gentoo-user] livecd does not boot after gentoo install

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

I am posting the message again because I sent it over the weekend and
some of you may not have seen it.

After using a livecd to make a successful gentoo install, I tried to
boot from the livecd again but in every attempt the bios keep booting
grub from the hard drive. If I remove the hard drive from the list of
boot devices in the bios and force it to boot from the CD rom I get the
message: OS not found; I am sure the livecd is in the CD rom but
apparently it is not recognized. What would be the reason for this
behavior?

Any inputs on this problem appreciated.

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] multiple emerge --sync on the same day?

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello list,

I've been installing gentoo on 16, almost identical PC's. I wanted to do
a manual install once and clone the rest but I am having problems with
rebooting a gentoo box with the same livecd I used to install gentoo in
the first place (I've also tried with a fresh livecd). Booting with the
livecd would allow me to get an image of the hard drive to use for
cloning. I don't know an alternative way. 

I am planning to get a few machines going on a manual installation while
I troubleshoot the livecd problem. These machines are behind a router
and there will be multiple emerge --sync requests coming from the same
IP. Is this a problem? I read somewhere that the same machine should not
be doing more than one emerge --sync per day.

Thanks,

Thanks for the idea.

Obrigado for the suggestion. This will be a project for a future gentoo
cluster install expansion.
