 Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 1:24 am Post subject: Really upset with Gentoo |
 |
|
My experience with Gentoo has not been favorable. In terms of ease of installation it has been very time consuming due to technical glitches.
A) Trying to do an emerge -e system and the computer will occasionally freeze up while 'emerged 34 out of 241'.
In which case I'm forced to reboot and when I do an 'emerge --resume --skipfirst' it starts with 'emerging 1 of 241'. Cmon!
B) Tab autocompletion causes computer to freeze. What the fsck!!
C) Firefox crashes.
D) vi failes with PL_curpad, (???)
This is supposed to be a Linux distrubtion. If I wanted my system to crash or freeze up I would have been running XPi
The reason I'm running Gentoo is because I was under the impresssion this was the only distro worth trying to run on a PPC platform.
Suse is a very, very, very close 2nd, the only reason I'm not running Suse on this right now is because any form of streaming media is crippled on Suse.
In addition access to DVD is crippled.
Really frustrated with what could be a tight distro. |

Well, your problems are certainly not typical, but you haven't really given us much to help you with here.
Do you have preempt on? That can cause random lock ups and other issues. Are you running ~ppc or ppc? What exactly is the error you're getting with vi? During compilation? On startup? How does firefox crash? What kind of PPC do you have? What kind of clags are you using? Have you reported any of these issues on Bugzilla?

Sorry, I'm just really fried right now, I have really tried to get this to work on my own and to continue to be frank I sorta winged it.
I didnt go over the emerge docs with a fine toothed comb like many others had.
However in my defence I did bother to scour the forums for info that seemed to have somekind of similarity to what I am experiencing.
Perhaps this will help pave the way to getting my PowerBook on the road to being copacetic.

Firefox just outright crashes, I did install gplflash  , but by the same token I did an emerge -c.
Firefox simply ignored any macromedia stuff before I installed gplaflash but ever since there are random crashes when visiting pages with 'flash' or javascript.
Sound was working but while doing emerge -e (the second emerge -e in emerge -e system && emerge -e system), which I'm currently doing right now (finally!)
I went through the Stage1/Stage3 build recommendations, glibc froze the machine a few times but I simply hammared away at rebuilding it by rerunning the emerge glibc gcc (so on and so forth). Eventually I was able to gcc, glibc rebuilt with 3.4.4 proper. But the point where it froze a few times was at that NX stack thing. Those CFLAGS seems to be the ideal setup so far.
The PPC machine I have is a Ti 667Mhz PowerBook G4 (7450 CPU) DVD, DVI, I believe an '02 model
What else?
Thanks for your prompt reply

I wouldnt mind any of this so much if Fiirefox didnt crash so often.
It really hinders me from being productive.
I'm very much a DYI, but I have to draw a line somewhere.
If I did something wrong with this install please let me know. |

Well, I'll answer the firefox question first, then answer the rest later.
Try moving ~/.mozilla to some other name and start firefox without any saved profile information.

Doesnt help, firefox still crashes randomly.
For example www.investopedia.com, I jump around from link to link, I dont get past two or three before it crashes.
Some of the errors I get:
A) When I launch firefox from the an xterm
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter)'.
(Details: serial 30 error_code 169 request_code 146 minor_code 2)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (1)
B) When I first launch firefox from an xterm I get:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [/opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: _ZTV16nsQueryInterface]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [/opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined symbol: _ZTV16nsQueryInterface]
I tried to 'emerge -c blackdown-jre' and it doesnt seem to go away. Same with gplflash. |

emerge -c doesn't do what you think it does, "it will not remove unslotted packages" (from the man page). emerge -C will unmerge the package. You definitely should not be using blackdown it's old and has security issues, use IBM's JRE instead. (The 1.5 version has a mozilla/firefox plugin.)

My info may say "n00b" but I have been around here long enough (and written enough software) to know that straying from the path when it comes to optimization flags can be bad news. Btw, -fforce-mem is implied by -O2, -O3, and -Os. -ftracer is probably a pretty dangerous optimization to do. If nothing else, try the recommended CFLAGS first before you write gentoo off because any distro you are gonna use will be using less optimized CFLAGS to begin with. |

One of the other posters pointed this out: do you have preempt enabled in your kernel?

Will this have an adverse effect on 'emerge vim'?
I did an emerge -C vim, then emerge vim, here are the errors I'm getting:

emerge -C did the trick and helped stability.
Firefox does not crash like it had before.
The next problem I need to tackle is vi failing.
BTW, thanks for your help, really appreciate it!!

ACCEPTED_KEYWORDS="~ppc" <- What is ACCEPTED_KEYWORDS?
What version of vim are you installing? It looks like a perl issue to be honest, try re-emerging libperl and perl and see if that helps.

I lifted that from an x86 install I saw somewhere on the forums. Reason I even bothered lifting it in the first place was because I was having trouble compiling glibc.

BTW, emerge -e system completed yesterday, libperl and perl were part of that emerge process.
Should I emerge it again?

What kind of problems with glibc?
ACCEPTED_KEYWORDS is not valid, take it out of your make.conf.

| Do you have preemption enabled in your kernel? Under PPC this usually means LOTS of trouble. |

I should add that glibc has compiled succesfully by now, I believe what cured the failure was I had: ##CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fvisibility-inline-hidden"
and took that out and took out npt and left nptl (I believe those are corrected). Bottom line is I have only nptl. |

Blackdown is updated and modern for other architectures, just not for PPC. The java plugin included with the 1.3 series still worked in Konq afaik and there could be a reason why people would want to use an older blackdown JRE instead of the IBM one. That said, the default (filling virtual/jre) on ppc is the IBM JRE since it is more modern. I would expect the older versions of Blackdown will eventually be removed once the maintainer decides they're not useful any longer.

I did an 'emerge libperl perl', then did: 'emerge vim'; the libperl and perl reemerge worked but vim puked.
The following is the last few hundred lines of what I think is a relevant error message.
Any help, as usual is appreciated.

I think Java in general should be deprecated, its such a peice of crap of a language. Its design runs counter to any sound programming principles.
Lack of namespace, poor memory management (still!!), its only saving grace is the presumable ease of entry.
In reality Java caters to the lowest common denominator which was not why I had gotten into programming in the first place.
I always saw programming as an intellectual persuit rewarded by recognition and obviously $$$.
With the advent of Java and PHP, intellectual persuit seems to have taken a back seat to catering to the lowest common denominator. |

| Now that sounded like the start of a flamewar *laughs* The fact of the matter is, some people still use Java - I know a Java developer myself - and so it has to be supported in some form. |

Just my two cents here...
It seems as if our friend tried to completely optimize his system from the get-go with custom CFLAGS, etc.
I would recommend a standard stage3 installation, following the handbook. From that point on, if you don't have a good reason to add or remove something from the make.conf file, DON'T. And please don't use the phrase "something I lifted from a x86 user" as x86 is a different platform from PPC (obviously).

There's no error message there?
Can you post the result of
