I have noticed xorg-7.2 just went stable. I am currently using 7.1 with
the stable binary ATI drivers ati-drivers-8.32.5 and the kernel
gentoo-sources-2.6.19-r5. Has anybody with the same configuration done
the update? Does it work for you?
(Yes, I know, binary drivers suck. I'm not trying to start a flamewar,
I'd just like to know if it works for somebody else before trying myself.)
Thanks.

Hi everybody
I currently have xorg 7.2 on a 2.6.20-r7 kernel. Can't get any of the
binary drivers to work
on my Radeon 9200 PRO card (as you might have read in previous posts),
but the open
source drivers works with a little tweaking of xorg.conf.
I use the hardend profil.
I had the following enabled in my kernel when I tried the binary drivers
from ati:
Device Drivers --->
Character devices --->
<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
Graphics support --->
<*> Support for frame buffer devices
I have the following settings in my make.conf:
USE="gtk gnome alsa hal avahi bash-completion"
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
VIDEO_CARDS="savage radeon fglrx"
and this line added in my /etc/portage/package.keywords:
x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~x86
With above settings I'm allowed to install version 8.35.5 of the ati driver.
But aticonfig can't generate a xorg file for me so I'm unable to start x, as
I haven't been able to configure xorg manually with the binary driver.
Just thought I would share..

Good for all list, have a nice day...
1.- Johannes I remember, you tried with xorgcfg or xorgconfig?... I don't
remember if you test with Xorg -configure, if you don't then try..
jejejeje... excuse me.. but I can't sleep without solve that problem :D
(it's a joke), but really after you try with that do aticonfig --initial,
because, if I am not wrong, the problem is because aticonfig can't find a
"legal" xorg.conf, well with the below commands you can generate a "legal"
xorg.conf and will modify with aticonfig...
2.- Remy have you some problem with your configuration or it's only to know?
Note: Please excuse for my english, I am still learning.
Thanks for your answers :D

My original question was meant to get feedback *before* doing the

Hi folks,
I also want to say "Thank you" to the gentoo devs.
Thank you for producing lots of circular dependencies
(ie. in the Xserver), which make maintenance complicated.
Cirular deps have been really sucking in SuSE and were one
of the major for dropping it to me.
Great, great thanks to the devs for forcing me to maintain my
own overlay to clean up the crap. (anyone who's interested in
it, please give a note).

Lots? If you'd posted this yesterday, I would have been able to recall
the last time I was hit with one.

I did get a circular dependency today, sdl and directfb and guess what?
The error message also contained the solution, which was to temporarily
change a USE flag.
The great thing about free software is that it all comes with a full
money back guarantee. So before you start shooting your mouth off when
something produced by volunteers in their own time fails to work for you,
stop and remember how much you paid for it and why.
Since you are clearly able to solve a problem that comes fro upstream
and which the combined might of SUSE and Gentoo has failed to do, why
not offer to help instead of posting sarcastic rants to a user support
list? $DEITY forbid, you could even file a bug describing the problem and
providing your solution.

At least several. I didn't find an good solution for checking
the whole tree yet, so I yet know some. Good candidates are
where PDEPENDs occour. For example the Xserver.
I'm currently in the process of fixing the ebuilds in my overlay.

*rofl* what a good solution. really clean. gread idea.

You don't need to give me lesson on OSS, I've did enough work OSS
projects over last 12 years to know how it works.
And I'm really tired of trying to talk with learn-resistent devs who
clearly expressed that they don't any of my help and told be to stay
away from b.g.o. So I'm maintaining my own overlay and concentrate on
getting things running instead of wasting time with certain devs.
The motivation of this mail is to inform other, probably frustrated,
users, that there's more than the official tree.

Which problem from the upstream ?
I'm a little bit involved in Xorg development (especially on the
modularizing project), so if you tell me the problem, I could fix it.
The problem w/ x11-base/xorg-server are the PDEPENDs on (external)
driver packages. I dont see any valid reason for depending the
Xserver on drivers, which themselfes depend on the Xserver.
If you want some package which pulls in an complete Xserver installation
*and* drivers (based on certain useflags), why not just an virtual
package ?
IMHO, there were days where it had been done so (when PDEPEND did not
yet exist). I don't know why this had changed, probably just to get
an new feature widely used. (BTW: I do not see any valid reason for
PDEPEND anyways)

I'm tired of trying to help where my help is not wanted.
As already said: the devs clearly told me that I'm unwelcomes, so
I leave them alone.
In fact, I'll provide an solution. It will be published within the
OSS-QM project. But I won't waste any second on filing any bug,
just for that it's marked invalid by folks like Jakub.

*What* are you talking about? PDEPENDs are packages that should be emerged
*after* the package in question. That A depends on B to be emerged *after* A
and B depends on A to be emerged *before* B does not produce a circular
dependency!
The PDEPEND of xorg-server is a convenience for the user to only need to set
VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES (or stick with the defaults) and have
xorg-server pull in only the requested drivers after itself.

virtuals are similar to meta packages (if you look at their contents) with one
very important difference.
virtuals provide a minimal functionality that other packages can depend on
without caring about what provides it. meta packages are a convenience to the
users that pulls in a bunch of packages and hence nothing is allowed to
depend on them.

In some situations they're in fact circular, ie. when using binary
packages.
BTW: I don't see any reason why the whole Xserve should be recompiled
if just some other device driver is needed.

Why not simply an virtual for that ?
I did it in my overlay, and it works very fine.

meta or virtual - where's the technical difference ?
I don't care about how you call them, but pulling in the drivers
should not belong to the server package, but an separate one.

As Bo has already explained, PDEPENDS cannot cause circular dependencies,
in fact they prevent them.

Yes, it is a good solution, because the circular dependency is caused by
changed USE flags in the first place. You did notice my use of the word
"temporarily", didn't you? If A depends on B and B depends on A, you
build A without support for B, then you can safely install B and A again
with the features you wanted. This is nothing to do with portage but a
consequence of building packages from different projects from source.
Naturally, you won't see this with a binary distro, because someone has
already gone through the "build A without B support, build B, build A
again" process, but without the benefit of USE flags to make it much
easier.
Having said that, portage ought to be able to handle this situation
better than it does, and work in continuing in that direction. Anal
sarcasm does not shorten the development cycle for such features.

"Certain devs"? Your previous batch of insults was aimed at "the Gentoo

The server does not depend on the drivers, it depends on them, it
wouldn't be much use without at least three drivers.

If the package management cannot handle such cases 100% automatic,
I'd consider it as buggy.
Just my personal oppinion, and I'll fix it at my site.
Anyone who shares my oppions and likes to join me, feel free
to give a note.

Great idea. Lots of redundant compiles and manual work just because
unclean dependencies.

In case of the Xserver ?
Okay, mesa still suxx, but the borderline between server and
drivers is clear.
Let's see if we get the driver API moved out to its own package,
so we it'll be some bit clearer (could also make licensing issues
some bit easier), but that's another story.

It *P*DEPENDs on them. That's an (strange) kind of special dependency
which is pulled in *after* install, instead of *before*. But still
it is an dependency.
So, Xserver dependens on driver(s), drivers depend on Xserver.
Circular dependency.

Ah, good things still happen ? ;P
Maybe we could have another try:
I'll publish my overlay in a few days. Feel free to try it out
and get some stuff into offical tree.

Lots? This new install has over 1000 packages on it, there was exactly
one circular depends, brought about by my changing USE flags too much. It
took around a minute to fix. If you are really that limited for CPU
cycles that this is a problem, I suggest you should not be using a source
based distro.

Yes, and one for the XOrg list, since Gentoo's policy is to stay as lose
to upstream as is feasible.

no ot doesn't, it PDEPENDS on them, thereby removing any circular

Give the guy a break :P. When your having to deal with lots of noobs
being retarded telling you you're wrong on a daily basis when you know
otherwise, I guess most people get frustrated at it :P.
So lets not be bashing him, especially when hes not around to fend for
himself eh?
Imo, the cyclic dep problem could be solved as thus,
A depends B
B depends C||A
Where C is a minimalist subset of A required for building B, which is
only depended on if A is not present.
A is also a replacement for C.
So the flow would go like such.
Emerge A:
* depends on b
* A is missing, so depend on C
*emerges C*
*emerges B*
*removes C* <-- otherwise A & C containing the same files = headache
*emerges A*
Yes, indeed I agree that we could just do this by hand by changing a
USE flag, but we should at least be open to the idea of looking for a
way to automatically resolve the problem. Computers exist to make our
life easier, not the other way around :)

Beware of conflicts !
AFAIK portage cannot handle them by itself, instead aborts and
leaves the job to the user.

Who exactly controls this flow ?
portage or the user ?

ACK. An "ideal" system would be able to do it all alone, the user
just tells what he wants. Of course ideal != realistic, but IMHO
its good to go into the ideal direction as far as possible.
BTW: some people expressed (within this thread), that Gentoo was too
easy to use and should be made more complicated. Funny, isn't it ?
Ah, just in case that 99% of the people didn't actually read my
postings, I'll just say it again:
The circular dependencies between Xserver and drivers do not come
from upstream. They're artificial. If we just want an simple-to-use
package which gets the Xserver *and* drivers based on useflags
(which IMHO is an good idea), it's quite trivial to do this by an
virtual/meta package. I've did it and it works good. You can get
it from my overlay via CVS:

How is this different prom portage installing the server and required
drivers according to USE flag settings?
VIDEO_CARDS is expanded to USE flags to install only the drivers you
need.

The difference is that you have *really NO* circular dependency.
PDEPENDS are in fact depencencies (no matter how many people deny
this fact), but with some hint for serialization. An additional
complexity which is not needed with my approach.

You totally baffle me. As I've previously stated, I just installed
Gentoo with xorg, kde, etc. on a new machine and there were no circular
dependencies or any other problems. The whole lot emerged without error
and installed my selected driver, nvidia. So where is the problem that
you are supposedly seeing?
Be lucky,
Neil

No, that is not funny, but I'll tell you what is humorous. That all
three posters involved in saying Gentoo was too easy were speaking
sarcastically and then watching you try to use it to prove some point
other than the obvious fact that you have no idea what you're talking
about. That my friend is pure comedy.

Just curious: why nobody suggests to allow Portage to use the preferred
method of binary distros: emerge several interdependent packages in one
transaction. Just prepare the source for A and B and compile both in any
order. IMHO this is what the ideal system should do.

Easy:
A binary distro dumps a load of files on the disk, and apart from an
optional pre- or post-install script, that's the entire install .
Gentoo is a SOURCE distro. It compiles stuff, and the stuff it links to
MUST be on the disk before the linker will link it. If B depends on A,
make B will fail if the required files in A are not present.

Because this just wouldn't work. They're not called "dependencies"
without reason. Or is it a transactional rollback functionality you're
talking about?

Certainly not. How do you want to link against a library that doesn't
exist yet, even if theoretically you might be able to create a stub
after running ./configure (for automake based build infrastructure)...

Gentoo is becoming too easy to use. We need to keep up the smoke and
mirrors. Stop being so nice everyone, you'll attract more newbies!
I think I'll raise a bug about this.

Circular dependencies are mostly a problem for new users since as soon as the
dependencies are installed the circular dependencies are satisfied and hence
irrelevant.
The real problem comes when a new user right after finishing install sets a
bunch of use flags and attempts to emerge gnome or kde only to be greeted
with 40 lines or more of circular dependencies.
Enrico's 'brilliant' solution is to split packages like Debian (which again
makes me wonder why he doesn't just switch back to that). The route the
Gentoo devs are going to take, however, is to improve portage which
unfortunately tends to drag on... For the impatient this is one of things
that paludis does a lot better than portage.
For the general case I fully agree with the rest of your post.

You mean I shouldn't have copied over a make.conf from another machine
without checking? ;-)
I think the important point about this was that it was such a trivial
hiccup to fix - USE="-directfb" emerge -1 libsdl - then continue with the
previous emerge.

Neil, I know you know more about this than I do but I always do a emerge
-uN world after I change my USE line in make.conf. Would that not be a
prudent thing to do? Seems that would fix that but it may mean
compiling something twice though.

It wouldn't have helped in this case as neither package was installed,
hence the USE-enabled conflict, each package needed the other to install.
When updating, changes i USE flags rarely cause problems, and will do
even less so when we get use-deps.

He's got *some* points, but he's being intentionally antagonistic and
taking a "my way or the highway" attitude. [Actually, maybe his position
would be better stated a "'the Debian way' or the highway", but I
digress.] So, yeah he's a troll, but at least it's a good troll.

Nonono. It's: We are not a binary distro so we don't need the workarounds that
binary distros need. What we need is an improved package manager (and a lot
of work is being put into that as we speak..).

This isn't anti-Debian. This is anti-trolling and anti-ranting. Please take
your trolling and ranting elsewhere.

And how much they got paid to write it.
Perhaps I'll take this oppertunity to say: Thanks, to everyone who
helped make gentoo what it is today. You do a fabulous job. This is
the best distro on the planet ; )
Present company excluded, I begin to feel resentful towards people that
complain but offer nothing to help. I _don't_ want to offend anyone
reading -- this mostly happens on the forums -- but c'mon people, if you
know whats wrong, why not help out the devs instead of mocking them?
This is supposed to be a self-supporting community, remember?
At any rate, I just installed X last weekend and had no big problems.
It may not work for everybody 100% of the time, but it works for me
99.9% of the time, and the .1% is almost always my own fault. Remember
how many people are collaborating on this project, and think of how
difficult testing must be when there are literally thousands and
thousands of hardware and software configurations. If something's
broken, why not help them fix? They'd probably really appreciate it --
and i _know_ i would.
Thanks again, to the gentoo team and the community here.

Hi Enrico,

Yes, thanks for a very very great job... I was installed gentoo a few months
ago and I don't want anything else...

are you about this?, if your answer is yes, please feel free to post your
errors...

SuSE != Gentoo? did you understand that?, SuSE is not bad at all but have a
lot of things wrong...

Believe me, it's a VERY good thing you have your own overlay, actually if
you think what all of this great work is "crap" and you have the tools or
knowledge to clean, feel free to help, be a constructive critic, not
destructive..it's very important more people to clean, to be a better
gentoo.
Please don't be sarcastic it's not necessary, the community don't need
troubles. Actually, I think you must to be gracefully to have this good,
wonderfully and excellent community... All people do this work because they
want, no pay for that, no money between their work and their intentions, all
work is free as in freedom. Please remember when you want more, give more,
when you need more please give more not sarcastic. It's very important, now
you are talking to many people in the list so much of thems are very very
good professionals and enthusiasts and activists of free software
specifically of gentoo.
Please be more corteuos and give the respect when you refer to this
community, remember a good rules... feel free (totally) to do all your
questions, ask whatever you want the gentoo community is there for help
people disinterestedly...live free, feel free, be free, give freedom..
that's what i think, Thanks in advance.

I think maybe you should look your gentoo over again... you've done something
really STUPID.

I haven't had one in a long while either. I have ran into blocked
packages or something minor like that but that's to be expected. Gentoo
is growing so it has to bust a button on occasion.

Ok, maybe I was a bit too quick on that one. I had to reboot today, and
suddenly DRI stopped working. I had to unmask and emerge
ati-drivers-8.35.5 to get it back.
Pretty minimal maintenance, I would say.

Hi everybody
I just installed apache 2.2.4-r1 on my server. When I try to start it
just after it has been emerge I get this error:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ...
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for marvin
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified
domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName [ !! ]
when I try to edit the Servername variable in httpd.conf to 'localhost'
and start apache again this happens:
marvin joe # /etc/init.d/apache2 start
* Starting apache2 ... [!!]
The server obviously don't s start, but I get no error messages and I
can't locate the server log (httpd.conf suggest they are located in
/usr/lib/apache2/
but htere is no logs there).
Anyone had similar problems and found a solution?
regards Johannes

The default location for Gentoo is /var/log/apache2 so check in there to
see if there are any errors.

I have this error in my log:
[Thu May 17 10:30:22 2007] [alert] (EAI 2) Name or service not known:
mod_unique$
Configuration Failed
so i search google and found this page:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/16212-apache-webserver.html
and added this line to my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
apache starts and everybody is happy :-)
Thanks for the pointer...

Well not entirley happy it turns out as I can't get apache to handle php.
I added '-D PHP5' to APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2
but when I restart apache i get this error:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files:
apache2: Syntax error on line 495 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax
error on li
ne 4 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php5.conf: API module structure
`php5_modu
le' in file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so is garbled - perhaps
this is not
an Apache module DSO?
I have php 5.2.2 istalled.
can't seem to find the right explenation for this behavior searching
google...any ideas any one?

I haven't done an install of Xorg on Gentoo yet (Right now I am running
off of a networkless install, so that doesn't really count). However,
when I installed it on an LFS build, on the same machine, I followed
their walkthrough, and it installed fine. Mesa would not install
without
installing Xorg first, and Xorg would not install without knowing where
the mesa source code is. Other drivers were left up to the individual
to handle, but that was enough for everything to load.
So yes, that is a circular dependency, even without Gentoo involved.
Not everything is simple, and not everything is cut and dry. Sometimes
the problem is not directly the package manager's fault. Give them time
to work out all the glitches. 7.2 is fairly new. The chip used by most
AMD64 machines, and a handful of Intel machines is not supported by the
Vendor with 7.2. All the support at this time has to come from the
Community, until updated drivers are released. It was considered a
greater
miracle when we got the ones we have now. ATI has nice graphics maybe
(I still prefer nVidia), but they are not friendly to the Open Source
World.
They throw us a bone every now and then, and people rejoice because they
can use the same hardware more easily between Windows and Linux.
End result is that when software upgrades, you either have to stay
behind,
or hope that the devs find a work around for you (unless you can do the
work around yourself).
I haven't heard too many complaints out of nVidia users though. :P My
lap
top is a laptop. It has to use whatever it already has in it. When
I build my next desktop however, it will use nVidia.
I guess it would probably be a good point to make that issues installing
X
Almost always come down to video card support.

Well, I really don't know what all this talk of glitches and circular
dependencies is all about. I just installed Gentoo with xorg, kde, etc.
on a brand new machine I built yesterday. It's an Abit motherboard with
an vVidia chipset (nForce 4 Ultra) and an nVidia GeForce 7300GT video
card. It all install without a single issue. In fact, I am typing this
on that very machine. :)
Be lucky,
Neil

Cool.
Even though ATI wasn't very Open Source friendly, AMD always has been.
:P
It is good when our allies buy out hostile entities. ^_^
I still prefer nVidia. :P Someone just needs to nudge them in the right
direction.
Maybe this will do the trick. ^_^ At the very least, we will hopefully
have drivers
for our ATI cards soon. ^_^

That is exactly what the xorg-x11 metapackage is designed to do.
If you don't add in a million USE flags that don't want to play nice,
then it should all compile (in theory). I say in theory, because
there are always things that can possibly get in the way. Bugs happen
on occasion. I am learning how to properly use USE flags myself. ^_^

Not exactly. The xorg-x11 package pulls in much more than
just the server w/ some drivers.
