[gentoo-user] Deleted /var/lib/portage/config
I accidentally deleted /var/lib (I meant to delete /var/lib/mysql). The only damage seems to be the deletion of /var/lib/portage/config and /var/lib/portage/mysql I'm not worried about world, I can easiliy fix that over time by running emerge -p --depclean and adding world entries. There are probably only about 10 packages anyways because this is a mythtv box. But what is config all about? On my other machine it looks like the file contains a bunch of hashes for config files in /etc/. Are these used to quickly see if a file in /etc/ is different or does it just do a diff? -- David Grant http://www.davidgrant.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Trying to active the irda into my laptop
Hi people: I'm trying to turn on the irda on my laptop but I don't know how to know which chipset it is, I think I need to know this to know which module I need to compile in the kernel. The command 'lspci'[1] does not show me any thing that looks like an irda. Looking for 'irda' into 'dmesg' neither find any thing. I have enable the infra-red into bios. I tryed to follow the tutorial like: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_mobile_phone_connected_with_IrDA But when I try to turn on the irda I have an error: # /etc/init.d/irda start * Starting IrDA ... Failed to open device /dev/ttyS2: No such device or address Maybe I don't active the correct kernel module but I don't know whic one it es. I tryed to active all the modules kernel into: /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/kernel/net/irda/ [2] Not the /etc/init.d/irda start Not the irdadump Not cat /proc/net/irda/irlap Shows to me some thing.

[gentoo-user] Re: glibc completed screwed my system
A very small step in the right direction...I unzipped the quickpkg I made into the /mnt/gentoo and now I am able to chroot in there. If I try to re-emerge glibc-2.3.6 though it complains that "downgrading" is a sure way to destruction. I'm pretty sure it would be safe for me to downgrade because I didn't really do much of anything after installing 2.4 so I'm not sure what the problem would be. The problem is that it still think 2.4 is installed. Ah, here we go. emerge -C =glibc-2.4* worked fully this time (it didn't work fully before, which I forgot to mention). Now it will let me re-emerge =glibc-2.3* overtop of the quickpkg that I unpacked. I am also not compiling with nptlonly (which came in to my profile through 2006.1), so it is now emerging with the exact same use flags that it was before (and the same as what the quickpkg is made from). So hopefully everything will be cool and I will be able to reboot into this machine (I couldn't even boot into it after this b0rking happend).

I've just tried it on my 1GHz iBook and boot time dropped from 74s to 60s. That's timed from selecting a bootloader option to the root prompt appearing, less the time taken to type in my luks/dm-crypt passphrase. Most of the saving came in the early part of the boot process, the part before the password prompt (which comes from bootmisc AFAIK). It looked like the udev stuff happened quicker, but I can't quantify that. Anyway, a 20% reduction in boot time is nice, wherever it happens.

You don't. The entire point of genkernel is to make it easy for newbies to compile a kernel, complete with all needed modules, lvm & raid support if needed, maybe a splash and an initramfs. I suppose you *could* use the correct options to genkernel to do it, but if you are creating a monolithic kernel then you must know what you are doing, so what you want is: cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig && make copy kernel, System.map, .config and whatever else you like to keep to /boot; edit grub.conf reboot Using genkernel for this is overkill, much like a bulldozer is overkill for digging one hole to plant a rosebush :-) alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Just replace the first line in /usr/bin/sux with "#!/bin/bash" You'd have to do the same for all scripts that depend on bash functionality.

I'm not sure where that error comes from, but it sounds like you do need to heed it. If you *want* a kernel without modules, then enable module loading and make sure all the drivers you need are compiled in. If you *need* to not have module loading, then I'd imagine you have no choice but to compile it manually. p.s. Do you *need* an initrd/initramfs? With no modules I doubt you do, so try genkernel with kernel instead of all. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

A quick look at sux shows it building a command to pas to exec that used $SHELL,. This is probably where it's switching back to /bin/sh, but I'm not prepared to spend much time looking for it to save 14 seconds. > Speaking of which, you probably should see the shell used in the > scripts from the sys-apps/baselayout package.

[gentoo-user] Audio CD support
Hi, Does somebody know how I can get XMMS to play audio CSs? "Play audio CD" simply cleans the playlist and doesn't do anything else. In Preferences->Audio CD the Audio CD directory is set to /mnt/cdrom (We don't mount audio CDs - do we?) My cdrom drive is on /dev/hdc but I can't browse to this node. Should I set it by editing ~/.xmms/config? Is there a USE flag I'll have to set - I didn't find anything apropriate in use.desc. Thanks for any help Frank -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The artist/title info is in the id4 tags - you can edit them with lots of tools, even inside most players. No need to recode them. And recoding: mp3 is a lossy format. If you turn them into wavs you have not only wavs based on reduced information, you remove the stuff that makes mp3 sound 'better' than they are. If you encode them again, you are removing more information. So after such a circle the sound quality would be worse. A lot worse. Hardly bearable worse.

But is it really so important? Do you watch the > timing information while listening to the song? to fix timing there is script Mp3Fixer for amarok Mp3Fixer (v0.9.4) About: Mp3Fixer is a script for repairing MP3 files which display a bogus track length or bitrate in your audio player. For example, if you have a track that you know is really five minutes long, but amaroK shows the length as one hour, then this script is for you. Mp3Fixer calculates the real track length and adds the missing XING header to the file. Additionally, Mp3Fixer is capable of repairing broken MPEG header frames. see also in portage: media-sound/mpck Checks MP3s for errors media-sound/vbrfixc Vbrfix fixes MP3s and re-constructs VBR headers -- Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r7 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ 20:53:00 up 10:06, 6 users, load average: 1.23, 0.76, 0.45 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You don't. The entire point of genkernel is to make it easy for newbies to compile a kernel, complete with all needed modules, lvm & raid support if needed, maybe a splash and an initramfs. Right. Although if you did still want to use genkernel to get an initramfs and a nice splash screen, the correct way is: genkernel bzImage initrd It might also be useful for you to read genkernel --help. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Decoding / encoding mp3 files
On 9/1/06, Hemmann, Volker Armin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: And recoding: mp3 is a lossy format. If you turn them into wavs you have not only wavs based on reduced information, you remove the stuff that makes mp3 sound 'better' than they are. If you encode them again, you are removing more information. Minor technical correction: wav formats are not even compressed, much less lossy. So converting from an mp3 to a wav (which is really just PCM audio with a header attached) is very much like playing the mp3 through your speakers. There should be no difference between playing a wav generated from the mp3 and playing the mp3 itself. But the point of what you said is correct...the wav file will not have the same quality as the original recording that the mp3 was generated from, and an mp3 generated from it will have even lower quality. Although I suspect that most people couldn't tell the difference between a 1st gen and 3rd gen mp3 if the bitrate is high enough. When I download stuff from iTunes, record it to CD, and then rip to ogg, I certainly can't tell any difference between the 3 versions. To answer the OP, I've used sox in the past to convert between formats. It can also apply lots of other transformations (noise filters, volume normalization, tempo adjustments, etc) to the files. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You can do anything you want. ;-) But it probably isn't a good idea, as the hotplug scripts are still used for...wellvarious things.

However, there is starting to become quite a bit of overlap (and occasional conflicts) between udev and hotplug, so I expect that eventually most of the hotplug functionality will just get absorbed into udev. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I am well aware of encoding/re-encoding between lossy formats but I still don't buy this. I habitually re-encode all formats to my preferred Ogg Vorbis format and have not once been overly (or even slightly) disappointed with the results. Unless one is the hardest-core of audiophiles with tens of thousands of dollars worth of stereo equipment I doubt they will either. "Hardly bearable"? Maybe if you have the ears of a dog. If you start with a decent bitrate in the first place (128+) I don't see a difference with naked ears at all. > Just say no to recoding. Nice blanket statement. Better advice to the OP: try it. Save the originals. Listen to both. Can you live with it? Make up your own mind Shameless plug: I have written a ruby script to re-encode between various formats: http://badcomputer.org/unix/code/sneetchalizer/ It will allow you to encode mp3 -> mp3 among others.

Well, I have lost xwindows/kde on (2) systems because of an upgrade of make.profile to point to 2006.1. I'm sure glibc was part of the problem. A third syxtem, an amd64, sits just slobering and drooling about; it will not even allow ls or cat to run. so I'm not so sure this one can be saved without a re-installation. It'd sure been nice if there was a little bit more detail on this, problem and recovery options. I've googled for links that help, but found nothing. So how is the new 2006.1 liveCD working these days? I'm soon to find out, on at least one system, maybe (3), Any ideas on recovery mechanisms, for this make.profile/glibc problem are most welcome.. I think I'll just drink (quite a lot) and read this list to see how the smarter half of this list dance around these pending upgrades.

Well, I have lost xwindows/kde on (2) systems because of an upgrade of make.profile to point to 2006.1. I'm sure glibc was part of the problem. A third syxtem, an amd64, sits just slobering and drooling about; it will not even allow ls or cat to run. so I'm not so sure this one can be saved without a re-installation. It'd sure been nice if there was a little bit more detail on this, problem and recovery options. I've googled for links that help, but found nothing. So how is the new 2006.1 liveCD working these days? I'm soon to find out, on at least one system, maybe (3), Any ideas on recovery mechanisms, for this make.profile/glibc problem are most welcome.. I think I'll just drink (quite a lot) and read this list to see how the smarter half of this list dance around these pending upgrades. I'm quite sure it's my fault, I just do not have the fortitude to fight through another twisted hack-fest of a weekend. Well all I can say is that without my quickpkg I would probably have been screwed. Although there is still one other thing I could have done. I could have grabbed a quickpkg of glibc from another box (although that box has the newest glibc so actually that wouldn't have worked). It would probably be possible to find someone on the mailing list with similar hardware and the correct version of glibc that you want and they could send you the glibc quickpkg'd up for you. Here is pretty much the bug as I experienced it: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125868 You can see detail there on how I solved it.

Not because of the program - I did not hear the voices or music, but that sound.

Any chance that was a fluke? I've done a few reboots with bootchart to confirm this and I don't get any speedup. In fact /bin/sh is never called because the gentoo init scripts explicitly use bash.

This can also be done with installkernel from sys-apps/debianutils
>From it's manpage:
installkernel installs a new kernel image onto the system from the Linux
source tree. It is called by the Linux kernel makefiles when "make install"
is invoked there.
The new kernel is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}, a link is made
from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the previously installed
kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old.

For grub.conf you can use the symlinks installkernel creates (vmlinuz and
vmlinuz.old). Now you'll never have to change your grub config again, just
make sure /boot is mounted ;)

In fact /bin/sh is never called because the gentoo init scripts > explicitly use bash. (sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.4-r7) I can't do it right now, I'm doing an "emerge -e world" on my laptop, but tomorrow I'll do a grep and sed and change #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/dash on the relavant parts of the baselayout and see if it has any impact, other than performance. "Slapping right hand to forehead...", This something I never thought of! Thanks for the idea. The other thing to consider is, you don't have to use "all" the gentoo init scripts... Just this week, I evaluated minit, initng, runit and fcache. For me, initNG offered the best overall improvement. However, I got even better performance with my own solution. Basicly, I use the very minimum number gentoo startup scripts. All I use are those that initialize the disks and that's it. The rest of the bootup process is done in local.start. My local.start configures all the devices on my laptop, including the lo, eth0 services. It loads the modules in correct order, brings up portmap, nfs, samba, cups, fam, hal, dbus, alsa, etc., etc. Where possible I run the commands as detached processes for even more performance... My local.start is ugly as hell, but very fast as there's very little bash/python scripting involved... and none of the python bloat that gentoo has going on in /etc/init.d. I'm able to get to a fully functioning command prompt in like 10 seconds after the kernel is done loading. Some configuration still goes on in the background, but I never notice it. I've got a lot more testing to do, but at first blush I believe the generation of this type of local.start could be automated. What I see happening is, once a gentoo user is satisfied that the box is setup to their liking, they'd run a script that would evaluate /etc/runlevels, scoop the necessary setup information from /etc/conf.d and generate a local.start providing the new boot process. The runlevels could be pruned automatically and on the next reboot, the new boot process is used for a dramatic decrease in boot time. I dunno, this could be fun. ;') Cheers all, Jerry -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Bonehead mistake
Hi,After you guys get finished ROTFL, I hope someone can help me out.I did a real "bonehead" thing. I *hate* slotted packages. What can I say, I'm a "neat freak". Normally, with the exception of genkernel, if a package is going to install into a new slot, I remove the original and install fresh. That's what I did tonight after syncing, but it was stupid. After syncing, I was told that there was a new version of gcc and that it would be installed into a new slot. Yes, I know that gcc is a compiler and that, without a compiler, things just don't want to compile. However, I removed it anyway and even ignored the error message that it was part of my profile and could damage my system. So, what's done is done. Is there a way to fix things without having to reinstall my whole system?Thanks in advance for your help and I hope I've given you the best laugh you've had for a while! :-) Colleen

[gentoo-user] Getting Photos From A Digital Camera
Greetings. This would be my first attempt at getting photos from a digital camera with my Gentoo system. I am using a Kodak EasyShare C533. With USBViewr I can see that the system sees the camera. That part of things seems to be working. However, I've not really a clue what software to use. GPhoto2 does not list this camera as a supported model.

[gentoo-user] OT: convert mov to avi
Greetings; Does anyone know of a program, command line would be great, which will simply convert a mov video to an avi video. Nothing fancy, just change the format. Thank you much.

[gentoo-user] OT: Atom RSS
I have tried the Google search and can't find what I'm looking for. I think it has something to do with the fact that I don't know enough to use the correct search terms me thinks. What I am trying to find is some step by step, idiot level instructions about how to set up Atom. Essentially I want to set up "podcasting". Geez I hate that term. I've never done this before, don't have a clue what I'm doing, and thus not able to find what I'm searching for. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

[gentoo-user] mdadm fails to add drive to arry
I recently had a drive failure in with a Raid 1 setup. However, for testing purposes I tried to re-add the drive to the array after I removed it. However I ran into the following error message. ~ # mdadm /dev/md4 --add /dev/hdj1 mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/hdj1 as 2: Invalid argument Where is the invalid argument? Or is this error message you get when it is time to buy a new hard drive :).

[gentoo-user] /etc/make.conf: changing CHOST on same system
Hi, I got some homebrewed problems :-/ This morning I tried to update to glibc-2.4-r3.

NPTL requires a CHOST of i486 or better !!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1555: Called dyn_setup ebuild.sh, line 668: Called pkg_setup glibc-2.4-r3.ebuild, line 1079: Called die !!! please add USE='nptl nptlonly' to make.conf !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. -- I added "nptl nptlonly" to my /etc/make.conf but the error (and the suggestion to add "nptl nptlonly" to /etc/make.conf) remain. BUT: For my CHOST there is an entry in /etc/make.conf: CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu" So I think, that the checker script for glibc looks there and thought, my system is running a i386 CPU, but it runs an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+. It seems my installation of gentoo, which I did months ago wasn't completly correct, it does run fine since then, though. My question is: Is there a way (possibly another one then completly installing all stuff from the beginning or to recompile all...) to correct my fault ? Thank you very much for any help in advance !

I would guess you would have a line such as: CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu" in there. So boinc was built thinking your platform is only a 386. Unless this is really old hardware, you should probably update it to "i686-pc-linux-gnu". There's a big warning in my make.conf file though about not changing the setting unless you are doing a Stage 1 install. So you might need a complete rebuild of your system if you change it. Someone more knowledgeable on these things should be able to tell you what you need to do to change your CHOST setting. Shawn -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yep, you will need to change your CHOST to i686-pc-linux-gnu to get the new glibc. Is there a way (possibly another one then completly installing all stuff from the beginning or to recompile all...) to correct my fault ? Nope. After changing CHOST, you need to emerge -e world.
