  1. Dimmed Virtual Consoles

    in Desktop Help

    Posted

    My dimmed virtual consoles issue has apparently been resolved by updating to the 3.18.1 kernel. When I updated my @world, I got a message, so I also added the VHOST_NET module (kernel accelerator for virtio net), and maybe that fixed the console problem, but I doubt it. I gave up on virtualization but maybe I will try again later. Anyway, updated my kernel and @world and the problem went away.

    Great ideas, Sandro! I'm using --backtrack next time! That's exactly what I need. I'm in the habit of using bdeps, not that I understand what that means in practical terms but maybe the update goes better. lol And I did get stuck with a full partition where /usr/portage/distfiles was and used eclean-dist. I was under the impression that I could remove the whole distfiles directory (and maybe increase fetching from the Internet), but I was not sure. And the /var/tmp/portage being expendable is good to know. You distilled your tips perfectly. Yes, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    I just updated funtoo on my laptop after about 4 months since the last update. It went smoothly and only took 36 hours. I spent maybe an hour of effort on it. That is phenomenal! I am up to date and it is only Tuesday. :)

     

    Happy solstice and all the holidays that please you! Thanks for making Funtoo!

     

    --Doug

     

    P.S.

     

    In case a newbie is reading this, hint: if 'emerge --update @world' fails, run it again to be sure there is really a problem.  (Note: --update is listed in the OPTIONS section of the emerge manpage not the ACTIONS.) I'm guessing some dependencies (are cycles?, idk, and) require a partial progress to unblock itself. Took me only three general runs of updating @world. I think it was about 300 packages. I spent more time trying to understand a line in the new /etc/boot.conf file about 'initrd /initramfs.cpio.gz' as a 'better' way. I did not see an option for making a .gz initramfs file under the genkernel manpage or a target for the same by running 'make help' in the kernel source, and since things seem to be working, I think I'll keep it the old way unless I see a more substantial promotion of the idea.

  4. glibc emerge fails

    in Portage Help

    Posted

    I am taking a friendly guess out of ignorance. This line caught my eye: <[31;01m*[0m   emake || die "make for ${ABI} failed">

     

    Your ${ABI} is "x86". Could it be something like compiling the kernel for 32 bit vs. 64 bit? You could look at the top of your .config???? file and see something like:

     

    #
    # Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
    # Linux/x86 3.14.4 Kernel Configuration
    #
    CONFIG_64BIT=y
    CONFIG_X86_64=y
    CONFIG_X86=y
     

    Did you recently change that or this in /etc/portage/make.conf?:

     

    sys-libs/glibc-2.18-r1 was built with the following:
    CFLAGS="-mtune=generic -pipe -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing"
    CXXFLAGS="-mtune=generic -pipe -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing"

     

    Maybe you need more room on disk? Can use 'df' to see how full the partition where /usr/portage/ lives? You could look at the manpage for eclean (man eclean) and run something like 'eclean-dist' if you need room.

     

    Otherwise, I would just guess with @Xxx-rebuild targets per 'emerge --list-sets', try perl-cleaner for the heck of it, and then try unmerging packages to make the world set smaller and see if you can get the core stuff to update first.

  5. upower Wants an XML Parser

    in Installation Help

    Posted

    Thanks, dantrell! Got both packages 'upower' and 'snortsam' to install.

     

    I noticed when I installed snortsame that it instructed in the output that I set USE flag 'snortsam' on snort and recompile snort. I tried adding snortsam as a USE flag on snort in two ways:

    1) New file /etc/portage/package.use.force with the single line: net-analyzer/snort snortsam

    2) Added 'snortsam' flag to my USE variable in /etc/portage/make.config: USE="gtk snortsam" (not showing every flag)

    After each change, I ran: emerge -uDN --with-bdeps=y --autounmask-write --ask @world

    And each time I got no updates to do after all the dependencies were considered.

     

    I notice that there is no snortsam flag listed in my file /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc . Perhaps I did not really see a message to apply a snortsam USE flag. I could be suffering from scroll blindness. After a week, I can run: 'snort -v --daq-dir /usr/lib64/daq -i wlan0 -A full'. Was hoping for a gui frontend to see the names of machines, etc. This is for a laptop NIDS.

     

    If anyone has relative easy answers for how to use snort (I can't make much sense of the documentation for snort or snortsam), some sort of Captain Obvious information, it would be greatly appreciate. Otherwise, I guess I am just going to avoid coffee shop wifi like I have been. Anyone have thoughts on tripwire?

  6. upower Wants an XML Parser

    in Installation Help

    Posted

    Addendum: My attempt to install snortsam failed in a similar way, but not with a concern with an XML parser. This time is refers to pthread_create. I have no &@(%ing idea at this point.

     

    Ideas?

  7. upower Wants an XML Parser

    in Installation Help

    I get a compile problem when I try to update upower as part of my @world update. I removed the upower package to try and install it. I tried upower-pm-utils because of what I found in this forum that was recommended for a different upower problem. Didn't help this.

     

    I want to show that I read the eselect news. There was the recent issue with in the news, but I can't read it now. My issue with upower is recent. I did a successful @world update one or two weeks ago. The news item is a month old, and I can't read it now for reasons I don't know.

    See how it asks 'removed?' I don't remember removing any news, but then I might have neurotic alheimers from too much screen radiation.

     

    BTW, I just used the BBCode for \[code\]. Where the heck is it with this new format? Does not show in the list for Special BBCode. Having to remove the double spacing that got added when I pasted outputs was a pain in the ass. Anyone know why I got double spacing? I manually removed it, at least I hope so.

     

    Anyway, if the upower compile fail relates to upower loses hibernate, sorry for my lack of prior planning.

     

    I seem to need upower for my xfce desktop:

    Does it look like there is a missing dependency in an ebuild? I am not familiar with them. Anything I attempt to learn is days of frustration. My latest bouts with masochism are with snort. I really envy you 140+ IQ guys.

  9. Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

    in Desktop Help

    Posted

    I figure it can't hurt to share my experiences. I once had a kernel panic problem, but all I had to do was avoid a specific single kernel version.

     

    I have had problems with drivers related to X11-base/xorg-11. I don't think it caused a kernel panic, but it would completely freeze or whatever. There is a thing called ABI, and if the kernel has one binary interface and the apps or drivers have another, it won't work. I found the command 'emerge @x11-module-rebuild' to be useful to get everything on the same ABI, at least for my problems. Useful set targets are listed by 'emerge --list-sets'.

     

    Did you see this in your dmesg: [Firmware Bug]: ACPI(DGFX) defines _DOD but not _DOS

    Since you are guessing power stuff, I guess so.

     

    I suppose you tried without ACPI and the power stuff; tried downgrading power management stuff. Maybe your hardware is not supported, bad luck, hard to reproduce if hardware specific. Related to new sys-apps/hwids? "[    3.583284] hp_accel: laptop model unknown, using default axes configuration &  [ 2.229867]   No soundcards found. & [    2.294729] ata1.00: ACPI cmd 00/00:00:00:00:00:a0 (NOP) rejected by device (Stat=0x51 Err=0x04)" Seems you should be able to roll something back, but guessing what is hard to do sometimes.

     

    You could look at your config stuff for acpi config and try without laptop mode or whatever: /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf

     

    Maybe the problem will get fixed upstream with an update in a week or two. :)

    Yes, I should have realized that. I had wondered why the icedtea-bin-6.whatever uninstalled. For the record, I was referring to my own alertness which helped me guess how to use eselect. Since eselect is so convenient, I figured it was funtoo but not gentoo, but I see with a quick search it is not. It's kinda like boot-update. You are the best a stitching together a linux distro IMO. So what's with those upstream people anyway? :huh: (I kid. I kid. I'm greatful to the entire Linux, and Gnu, community.)

    Usage of eselect appears to have changed. Nothing like a good nite's sleep prior to doing admin work.

    Basically, noodle around with eselect until you figure out a syntax it likes. I got my Java working again. Maybe you can too! :)

    Wondering if anything was done to push through oracle's java 1.7?

     

    Just did update. I had icedtea 1.6 but it got dropped and replaced by oracle 1.7. Now at command line java -version gives me error and Eclipse won't start. Not sure if this qualifies as a bug to post at http://bugs.funtoo.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa per the recent post on "News and Announcements". (Thanks for hard work, Daniel.) I installed virtual/jdk, but that didn't help. The eselect java-vm does not seem to be working (see bash excerpt above). If I use eselect show, I get something about user-vm, but that 'extra module' does not show up when I run 'eselect' without any args.

     

    Eclipse popup says:

    A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
/opt/eclipse-sdk-bin-4.3///default.ee
/opt/eclipse-sdk-bin-4.3///java
/opt/eclipse-sdk-bin-4.3///libjvm.so

    I will take another look at this tomorrow when I am more awake.

    I like to run startx and switch from the desktop virtual terminal to any of the virtual consoles. The new behavior after updating is that not long after XWindows is up and running, the virtual consoles dim way down.

     

    Any ideas on where to look for the problem and solution?

     

    I don't see how setterm -half-bright is the cause or the solution. I don't see a kernel setting in the new 3.15.1 kernel using the console menu via genkernel. I am not sure if the switch from 3.15.0 (no longer in portage tree) had anything to do with it, or perhaps some other package update. I don't see what I can config in /etc to solve this problem.

     

    My eclipse-sdk-bin-4.3.1 is acting buggy now since this recent update too. It was updated some time back. I think I will try to downgrade icedtea-bin from 6.1.13.3-r1 to 6.1.13.3 and see if I notice a difference. I don't expect it is a related issue, but I can't know for sure. The item icons in Xfce desktop submenu "Development" don't show up now. The icon files exist in the file system and are accessible for any process to read(r_x). The paths from the relevant /usr/share/applications/*.desktop text files seem correct. Again, probably unrelated. I don't see that a dump of emerge --info and the like is useful.

     

    Benevolent Dictator For Life, that's pretty funny, and logical.
