Do you have support for shm in your kernel? I am getting the same error as you, but on /dev/pts. I just checked, and I have no support for the filesystem in my kernel.

I also suspect devfsd and permissions.

I try and touch anything in /dev/pts(ie touch /dev/pts/.keep) and I get permission denied errors.

I recompiled my kernel with shm support ....and the merge complete OK.
i already had /dev/pts

thanks mmessano

mmessano : I have exactly the same problem you describeb here.

I was able to compile the baselayout-1.8.6.13 as follow :

ebuild /usr/portage/sys-app/baselayout/baselayout-1.8.6.13.ebuild merge

I hope it can help.

Regards,

Dunki

Worked perfectly, thank you!

Of course that worked since you merged baselayout-1.8.6.13 and not 1.8.6.13-r1 . -r1 gives the same problem running ebuild ... merge.

According to error.h this is a permission problem since error #13 stands for 'Permission denied'.

A workaround for the problem is to do:

Code: Select all


# nano -w /usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1.ebuild

and goto line number 305. And change:

Code: Select all


keepdir_mount /dev /dev/pts /dev/shm

into

Code: Select all


keepdir_mount /dev

Line #305 is if you are using devfsd or rootfs otherwise you need to change line #308.

Save the changes to the ebuild file and do either a:

Code: Select all


emerge -u baselayout

or a

Code: Select all


ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/baselayout/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1.ebuild merge

baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1 should merge fine now

Needless to say that after merging the new baselayout you need to be very carefull with updating the baselayout files using the etc-update command. Some crucial files are to be changed to the default. Make sure you make backups of these files and findout per file what has been changed before updating the files and rebooting your system.

Code: Select all

# etc-update

Actually, it worked flawlessly for me. I should have added that I used the 1.8.6.13-r1 ebuild. Compiling in support for /dev/pts directly into the kernel did not help, unlike /dev/shm.

Also, and I didn't notice this last night, there are NO config files to be updated. I am assuming that running ebuild directly simply overwrites files. Correct?

So what is the correct way to fix this. I am also having this problem...

mmessano · Post by **mmessano** » Fri Feb 27, 2004 4:01 pm

Both work. I have tried each, and have had no errors either editing the ebuild directly or running the ebuild. I am, however, concerned that there were no updated config files dropped

I think I will just wait till the ebuild is fixed. This is a production server.

Wanted to say:

Had the same problem, made it work by removing /dev/pts and /dev/shm from the ebuild like mentioned in an earlier post. I guess the ebuild is buggy and should be fixed.

theturtle123 · Post by **theturtle123** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 12:35 am

thanks for the correction of the ebuild
i had the same problem and now it's solved by editing the .ebuild
hope it'll be patched in the future
thanks again guys

NiXZe · Post by **NiXZe** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 8:22 am

Have anyone filed a bug report?

(/me changed the ebuild)

Thx Graadz for the fix

koubiak · Post by **koubiak** » Tue Mar 09, 2004 12:35 am

Ok doesn't work with me ...

I have try to modify line 308 but nothing change so

if [ "${altmerge}" -eq "1" ]
then
# rootfs and devfs
#dosym ../../sbin/MAKEDEV /lib/dev-state/MAKEDEV
# This is not needed anymore...
#keepdir /lib/dev-state/pts /lib/dev-state/shm
-> keepdir_mount /dev
#/dev/shm # /dev/pts
else
# Normal
-> keepdir_mount /dev
#/dev/pts /dev/shm
#dosym ../sbin/MAKEDEV /dev/MAKEDEV
fi

And to try I have change the second arrow but still

>>> /lib/udev-state/.keep
--- /mnt/
!!! copy /var/tmp/portage/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1/image/mnt/.keep -> /mnt/.keep failed.
!!! [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/mnt/.keep#new'

Any Idea ?

Please

koubiak · Post by **koubiak** » Tue Mar 09, 2004 5:14 am

Panic !!!!

Ok so I haven't find anything for my problem but now my laptop can't boot on linux it crashs on a lot of things and I have got a project to show to my advisors tomorow ... So i need to fix it quickly

So i call all the guru in the sector

because I can't start launch net.eth0 ...

Anyway first I need to do an env-update but it doesn't want cause of the crash of the emerge of baselayout so How I do to make env-update work ?

Koubiak in fear mode 11

koubiak · Post by **koubiak** » Tue Mar 09, 2004 5:37 am

SOLVED

I have retry to emerge it and it works I thinks i have done
/root/.keep#new and before i try to do that in /mnt/

I don't know why ... anyway

Koubiak a little less stressfull

Hi,

It is sys-apps and not sys-app.

editing the ebuild was the solotion for me and probebly the easiest way.
