[gentoo-user] fsck.ext3 error (only sometimes)
Hi all, I've come across a weird issue. The other day I decided that it's been a while since I've had a good read/write badblocks run through fsck.ext3 on all my partitions. The problem is with /dev/hdb1 , normally mounted on my Gentoo system as /olddeb since it's a small install of Debian that I keep as a backup. Robotech / # fsck.ext3 -fccv -C 0 /dev/hdb1 e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) ext2fs_block_iterate: Ext2 file too big while sanity checking the bad blocks inode Robotech / # I get the same thing with one -c as well. The partition is unmounted. If I run it without any bad block check I get: Robotech / # fsck.ext3 -fv -C 0 /dev/hdb1 e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information 95216 inodes used (19%) 1854 non-contiguous inodes (1.9%) # of inodes with ind/dind/tind blocks: 5188/57/0 636738 blocks used (65%) 0 bad blocks 0 large files 78031 regular files 7459 directories 1326 character device files 4170 block device files 2 fifos 364 links 4217 symbolic links (3987 fast symbolic links) 2 sockets 95571 files Robotech / # "badblocks -nvs /dev/hdb1" seems to run fine, but I am worried about the "ext2fs_block_iterate: Ext2 file too big while sanity checking the bad blocks inode" message. Any hits I've found about this has other errors occurring as well, usually "DriveReady SeekComplete" errors. As a result, I'm only seeing responses about the other (more serious) errors, no explanation of this specific message. This is the only partition I'm seeing this on, no other error messages at all. Hdb 2,3, and 4 are fine (all ext3). I remounted /dev/hdb1: The largest file on it is 71 megabytes. After moving it to another partition, df -h shows: FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdb1 3.7G 2.4G 1.2G 67% /olddeb Unmounted and tried again, still getting same message. Any help is appreciated, Paul NM -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Isn't there a jumper or two on the circuit board that you should dis/connect according to the MoBo's manual to effect this? MoBos that don't have either a BIOS menu choice or a jumper set up and rely on a software hack perhaps mean that they are not meant to run (reliably) at anything other than default speeds - on the other hand it may just mean that HP/Dell/etc. were providing something cheap & cheerful with my granny in mind and couldn't be bothered to fic their buggy BIOS'.

But even if you did get it to compile with -X, the concept doesn't make sense. The whole point of gnome (and gnome-light is just a minimal subset of that) is to display stuff on the screen and for that you require X, so leave it in the USE flags so portage can do the right thing. Why do you want to do such a thing anyway? alan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you updated portage, maybe the reason is this: In portage-2.1.1, emerge --newuse is now sensitive to changes in IUSE.

[gentoo-user] glibc-2.4-rc3 failing on system with 2 glibc's already
Well, as the title, glibc is failing on me on my server. I have noticed that in the stack trace there is: "multiple definition of `__libc_multiple_libcs'" and emerge --info shows glibc-2.3.6-r4 and glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 are both installed. Not sure why. Not sure even if this is the problem. My instinct is to unmerge glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 and try again, but the ominous warning from portage coupled with the fact this is my live mail/web server is making me hesitant to try this. Any thoughts? Just wanted some input here before I plunge ahead... thanks.

Isn't there a jumper or two on the circuit board that you should dis/connect according to the MoBo's manual to effect this? MoBos that don't have either a BIOS menu choice or a jumper set up and rely on a software hack perhaps mean that they are not meant to run (reliably) at anything other than default speeds - on the other hand it may just mean that HP/Dell/etc. were providing something cheap & cheerful with my granny in mind and couldn't be bothered to fic their buggy BIOS'. With Gentoo compiling its own software the demands placed on a machine are somewhat more onerous than that seen by a typical M$Windoze setup. The Dell motherboard detects the CPU's FSB and sets it that way. The board officially supports 66/100/133. My Celeron 700 runs at 66FSB, but I'd like to try 100FSB so my memory will run at full speed and I can see if the CPU can handle 1050 (10.5x multiplier). Does anyone know of a way to set the FSB in software? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Don't add it to your global USE flags ! The minimal flag is used by several packages but you only need to activate it for a single package. You might end up with a seriously impaired system if you add it to your global flags.

It arises here because fix_libtool_files.sh modifies the .la files. One could argue that it is the responsibility of that script to check the md5/mtime information and update it. -- Neil Bothwick A computer scientist is someone who, when told to "Go to Hell," sees the "go to," rather than the destination, as harmful. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I tried the following bios configurations: * switch between ahci and ide * switch between legacy and advanced (native) mode * boot with "gentoo apic=off" Nothing worked. If I understood right, only 2.6.18 kernel would fully support ICH8, and that the 965 chipset douse not support AC'97 sound. Is there a way to do a functional installation of gentoo on this system? Does your MB have a JMicron [SP]ATA controller, by any chance? If so, try booting with "all-generic-ide irqpoll". If not, please post more details :) Nadav Cheers, Duane. -- "I never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine" - Bob Dylan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Maybe your are abled to mount the FAT partition after you "fixed" the partition table. Well, "fixing" it basically means: delete it, and create a new one. Typically, the FAT partition simply comsumes the whole disk. There should be a fair chance, that (c)fdisk chooses the same start/end-sectors for the partition like any other tool (including the camera).

I've been using just normal ntfsprogs on my Kubuntu Desktop. That works just fine. It even scans the ntfs drive on boot to clean it (something that is really needed - whoever wrote the ntfs driver for windows needs to be slain with torture for the sloppy job he or she did!) It is a bit annoying to have to wait for it to load as it waits for the scan to finish. -- http://lordsauronthegreat.googlepages.com/ pgpp8bhXJ3ky5.pgp Description: PGP signature

My (perhaps limited) understanding tells em that running a 66MHz chip at 100MHz blow it sky high. Although according to this web site[1] that's ok for celerons.

My install can't get pass this because some other packages depends on it. I have also tried a ton of other mirrors. I used mirrorselect -i and added them all in and get the same thing. A lot of the mirrors don't have the file. I even tried getting it from the freedesktop.org website with the same thing. This seems to work fine on my old install. What's up with this?

[gentoo-user] Real CPU speed
How can I determine my current CPU speed? I have a Celeron 700 that should be running at 1050 if I insulated one of its pins correctly. All of the information I can find on determining CPU speed is related to mobile speedstep processors and mine is a desktop CPU. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Not even a sound of silence...(longish)
Hi, recently I did a "emerge -e system; emerge -e world". Apart from some applications, which dont want to compile with the new system -- now based on gcc-4.1.1 -- everything works fine. (Before emergeing I did a full image backup of the "old" system on another harddisk of the same model (dd ...). ) But I have no sound anymore... I checked for the follwing: PC-BIOS: Onboard sound is enabled. diffing old and new etc: Inserting alsa devices again with /etc/modules.d/alsa Volume is up (alsamixer and speakers) Speakers have power and ready to play.

Hmm, can you post the output of "amixer scontents".

I already knew that it would not delete files in /etc/ and now I know why. LOL I never put the two together before you said that. Who knows, maybe in 20 years I'll be a dev. O_O I'll be too old then though. I'm working on a fresh install on another hard drive now. That will clear out some cruft. I copied my make.conf file and one other config file and that is it. Oh, the kernel's .config. I knew it was something outside of /etc. Thanks for clearing up my muddy water. Care to help with the rest now? LOL Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
