Since shortcircuit is off so long I've given up depending on prologic and have my ports tree hosted here for now. http://romster.dyndns.org:8080/linux/ports/crux/ I'm still setting up my other ports directory's. If anyone can donate reliable hosting space for a mirror please contact me. -- Danny Rawlins <Romster>

Hello Everyone, I'm trying to upgrade to Gnome 2.22 it was recently put on the Gnome repo the past few days. I struggled with lots of packages failing and have fixed most of my issues however When I try to update Yelp it complains with the following error message. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtkembedmoz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [yelp] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/gnome/yelp/work/src/yelp-2.22.0/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/gnome/yelp/work/src/yelp-2.22.0/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/gnome/yelp/work/src/yelp-2.22.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 =======> ERROR: Building '/usr/ports/gnome/yelp/yelp#2.22.0-1.pkg.tar.gz' failed. -- Packages where update failed/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtkembedmoz collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [yelp] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/gnome/yelp/work/src/yelp-2.22.0/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/gnome/yelp/work/src/yelp-2.22.0/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/gnome/yelp/work/src/yelp-2.22.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 =======> ERROR: Buildinglgtkembedmoz '/usr/ports/gnome/yelp/yelp#2.22.0-1.pkg.tar.gz' faillgtkembedmozed. -- Packages where update failed yelp yelp I'm pretty sure lgtkembedmoz is part of mozilla-runtime but there isn't any mozilla-dev or mozilla packages on any of the repos I have and I already have firefox.

Fix for can't read /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libstdc++.la
by Danny Rawlins 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Note on crux update 2.3 -> 2.4 and recent gcc 4.2.2 -> 4.2.3 "can't read /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory" Is caused by libtool. Any library you have compiled and contains .la files, has references to non-existing .la files. On runtime, you will not notice anything at all of this operation. At compile time however, expect build errors about missing .la files. The bug isn't in the package that misses the .la file then, but in the package that references this .la file. The fix is to grep all *.la files and then use prt-cache fsearch foo.la to find what package it came from then to do a force rebuild prt-cache update -fr --install-scripts foo. -- Danny Rawlins <Romster>

I edited the original grub file while installing crux, but after that I was not able to boot crux for some reason.

I've already altered grub config (see above). Thanks Balazs

I enabled all these parameters as built-in. I think the problem is connected with the boot loading process. Maybe I should install and configure crux lilo or grub into the mbr or to the root at least. In the later case I should use chainloading in my original 'third party' grub menu.lst. Am I right?

kernel panic - unable to mount root fs
by Gellért Balázs 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi All, I am a Newbe. I tried to install CRUX 2.4 on my laptop. During installing and configuration, everything seemed to good. I was able to install the core system to my SATA harddisk, furthermore my other partitions were available as well. Though when I completed install procedure, I tried to boot CRUX from the harddisk, the boot process stopped with following messages: "VFS: Cannot open root device "sda6" or unknown block (0,0)" "Please append a correct "root=" boot option, here is the available partitioins: 1600 4194302 hdc driver: ide cdrom" "Kernel panic - not syncing: UFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)" I am sure my fstab and boot loader config file is correct. Could it be the problem that I did not use own lilo for CRUX in order to boot? I edited an existed grub menu.lst of another linux distro that runs on my laptop. Any help is appreciated, gellba

GRUB changes.
by Brett Goulder 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Due to my recent battery of changes to the GRUB port in opt, the config file name has been changed to match upstream GRUB, it is now menu.lst instead of grub.conf (a Red Hat convention and really, pointless cosmetic change). This will only affect users who would be reinstalling GRUB to their MBR or partition, people merely updating to the new GRUB version won't be affected until they rerun setup (hd0) or equivalent in GRUB. However, a simple mv /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/menu.lst will solve this problem. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc
