[gentoo-user] BOINC 7.4.42

2016-02-08 Thread Peter Humphrey
Hello list,

I've upgraded boinc from 7.2.0 to 7.4.42 and now boincmgr can't connect to the 
local host. Looking in stderrdae.txt I find this:

boinc: /usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0: no version information available (required 
by boinc)
boinc: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by 
boinc)
boinc: /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0: no version information available 
(required by boinc)

Does anyone here know how to fix this? I don't see any relevant USE flags on 
openssl.

Very sparse information. It would be helpful if you would tell us at
least the exact error message (I guess it's something like 
VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block...) and also what kind 
of chipset is inside your laptop (lspci). I'm really too lazy to ask
google about that. ;-)


Some ideas:

The bootloader isn't configured correctly.

Missing filesystem support in kernel.

Kernel SATA driver configuration isn't correct.

This is ok because this file is just a symlink.

I never used genkernel so I don't know if your home directory is the
right place for kernel sources. 
On my system the kernel sources are located here:

/usr/src/linux/

where "linux" is a symlink to the directory that contains the kernel
sources. 

So arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage is on my system located here:

$ ls -hl /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 18. Jan 04:46 /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage 
-> ../../x86/boot/bzImage

When I use "du" on this file I get back the same result, because it's
a symlink and not a "real" file.

$ du -hs /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage
0   /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage

But when I use "du" not on the symlink but on the "real" file, I get:

$ du -hs /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage
6,2M/usr/src/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage

[...]

For a SATA AHCI Controller these kernel options should be sufficient:

CONFIG_ATA
CONFIG_ATA_ACPI
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI

I don't think that you also need this one, but if it doens't work
you can give it a try:

CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM

What filesystem(s) do you use on your laptop? Are you sure they are 
included in the kernel configuration?

For ext4 filesystem you should enable these options:

CONFIG_EXT4_FS
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL

You should also enable these (regardless what filesystem you use):

CONFIG_DNOTIFY
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER
CONFIG_FANOTIFY


And now for something completely different... ;-)

The error message you've seen could also be caused by a misconfigured
bootloader. Unfortunately you didn't tell us what bootloader you use.

I'm still using the old grub. I don't have any knowledge about grub2, 
gummiboot or efibootmgr. If you use one of these I can't help you with
it's configuration. In this case the gentoo handbook should give you the
information that you need (or some other member of this list).

You should carefully check your bootloader configuration. If for 
example the path to your root-partition is wrong then your system 
cannot boot.

[gentoo-user] udev -> eudev

2016-02-08 Thread James
Hello,

Well I have one system I need to migrate to eudev. All sorts of things are
now calling for *systemd* and I do not want that at all.

Here is the blockers on the latest list ::

[blocks B  ] sys-fs/eudev ("sys-fs/eudev" is blocking
sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration-4, sys-apps/systemd-226-r2)
[blocks B  ] sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration
("sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration" is blocking sys-fs/udev-225,
sys-fs/eudev-3.1.5)
[blocks B  ] sys-apps/systemd ("sys-apps/systemd" is blocking
sys-fs/udev-225, sys-fs/eudev-3.1.5)


So just  emerge -C sys-apps/systemd sys-apps/gentoo-systemd-integration
sys-fs/udev

and then emerge eudev? 


Also from the gentoo wiki change package.use entries for udev
to the same for eudev and remove  those for udev. That's it?

Most likely your new laptop is UEFI BIOS, did you install in UEFI mode?
Did you enable the required EFI variables in the kernel and the GPT
partition format?

Just a note: Some new hardware with EFI is crippled unless you boot in
EFI mode.

Last time I had a kernel fail to boot it was because I forgot GPT
partition support.

Be aware of privacy issues with such setup. Your browser may leak
DNS requests, e.g. use standard system calls and they will be sent
over casual network (not TOR), thus your provider will know what
resources your are visiting as well as owner of DNS service you use.
Chrome may leak other data in background as well.

While such background traffic can be redirected to tor using tsocks
and iptables, this is not very trivial task. That is why tor browser
is useful: it does such stuff for you by ensuring that all browser
traffic is going via tor. You may use torbrowser overlay to use
this package in Gentoo.

If emerge outputs something strange for ebuild, this should be
reported as bug, as well as any other weird package behaviour. 

Of course, no one _must_ report this, this is a matter of a good
will.
