[gentoo-user] Several Gentoo-Problems

[chrissie]

Hi,

after a upgrade i ran into the following problems:
(emerge --deep --upgrade --newuse world)

I habe to Network Interface Cards installed in my machine: one VIA-Rhine-II
and one 3Com 3c59x. Now the cards get randomized at every boot, sometimes teh
VIA is eth0, sometimes the 3Com. I want the 3Com to be eth0 at every time,
how to fix this?

If i launch gnome-volume-control, i get the following message:
gnome-volume-control: symbol lookup error: gnome-volume-control: undefined
symbol: __gst_debug_min
I already searched the web, re-emerged gstreamer, gstreamer-oss,
gstreamer-alsa but still no solution.

Everytime i log into Gnome, the gnome-settings-daemon crashes, and bug-buddy
shows up. If i press Cancel in Bug-Buddy, gnome-settings-daemon crashes again
and again. If i move the Bug-Buddy-window to Workspace 4 everything works
fine and the settings are correct. Also the settings-daemon is running. This
happens after i emerged the clearlooks-theme.

The machine is AMD XP 1500+/256 MB RAM
And yes, i did etc-update recently.

Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.

Assuming you just upgraded to udev-103, run:

# /lib/udev/write_net_rules all_interfaces

Then edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to assign the
interface names you want if they turn up wrong.

I don't use gnome, so I cannot say for sure, but maybe you need to do
a "revdep-rebuild" to rebuild anything with broken dependancies?

I'm not sure how much this will help but I read this the other day when
someone else was having simalar problems.  You can tell udev to set the
names each time to the same thing.  It is done through udev rules if I
recall correctly.  I think it does it by using the mac address too.

I don't know how to do it but you may can search the forums or the
archives here and find a fix faster than waiting on a guru to roll out
of bed.  ;-)

I hope this helps, get you started anyway.

Set up some udev rules as in my post of a few hours ago on "net.eth0
net.eth1 net.eth2 *"

balearen chrissie # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

I think there is nothing wrong at the moment, via-rhine should be the eth0
interface. But it is the 3com at the moment (just wondering if it is
via-rhine after the next boot).

balearen chrissie # ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:4B:42:98:29
          inet addr:10.11.1.100  Bcast:10.11.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0learen

chrissie # cat /etc/conf.d/net

routes_eth0=( "default gw 10.11.1.1" )

Ok, i can remove the second card from this desktop-system because i really do
not need it at the moment. But i am looking for the gentoo way to solve this
problem, especially if you have three network cards from the same vendor.

if it already exists, try moving it to ~/ or somewhere safe, then run
write_net_rules again...  Hopefully you'll get both interfaces in there
then.

Both (er, all if you happen to have more than 2) interfaces will need
to be listed there for it to be effective.  The problem is that if
some device comes up without a rule and grabs eth0, then udev won't
take eth0 away from it when a device with a matching rule comes up.

So if one is missing, remove/rename the file as Iain suggested and
re-run the script.

Well the other old standby advice is to remove/rename ~/.gnome, so you
end up with the default gnome settings again, and see if that helps.

This seems to have worked! Thanks!

This did not help. But a Friend told me to do a

# emerge --emptytree world

This ended up with:

Looks like http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=161173

Try:
WANT_AUTOMAKE=1.9 emerge --oneshot =net-libs/gnutls-1.4.4-r1
emerge --resume

I fixed this by re-emerging 
gnome-base/gnome
strange, but worked.
