Magic X.Org Upgrade failing at XServer Path

Post by faser »

Hi All,

I tried to update my system with magic. But afer libtool is emerged the script fails with the following message

*************
Emerge failed.
xserver patch failed.
Check your network settings and try again.
*************

Network Settings are OK, emerge sync has been done today, Clock is set by NTP.

Any idea, is there a log I can check?

Cheers

Xorg patch failed for me, too. So I completely deleted/ uninstalled Gentoox and reinstalled from the beginning. The Xorg patch worked then. Fortunately I had taken notes on most of my settings, network settings, etc.

I don't know if there is a way to make the patch work without re-installing, as nobody responded to my earlier post, and I don't have the time to devote to becoming a Linux expert.

Did either of you check for harddrive space? Xorg failed for me too, then I ran df and saw that magic had eaten up all my space :\
I'ts been running two hours now (running magic a third time) and it's already used up 160mb. I've only got 130 left :\ How long did it take you to emerge it, honukele?

It would help if you told us what kind of Gentoox installation you have there.

Your internet connectivity could have died for a few minutes :)
Box: XBOX ver 1.1
Mod: Xecutor 2.3 lite+
Hdd: WD 80GB
Dash: Evox, Ava, XBMC
Linux: Gentoox Pro 4.2

Hi Vplayer,

thanks for help to find reasons. My Internet Connectivity could not have died as I access the internet via my firewall which had an IPSEC tunnel which haven't reloaded.

I am not sure how I can tell you what kind of Gentoox Installation I have.

dmesg shows: Linux version 2.4.22-xbox (root@Xbox) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice))

/dev/hda2 is mounted to / and has 29GB free

Magic tells
You are running Gentoox Home 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Gentoox is distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Patch serial: 20050201008
wget: wget -T 30 -t 5

+ Gentoox Loader v5.4.
+ Xorg support.
+ magic f-drive and magic e-drive removed. See website.


I say
sync: no (already synced before starting magic)
xserver: yes
kde: no

Magic then does an emerge libtool (which if I do it by hand works smoothly)

And then after libtool is installed I get

Emerge failed.
xserver patch failed.
Check your network settings and try again.

Magic encountered the above error, please try again later.



I hope that gives you an idea what I have.

Cheers

Xorg patch fails

Post by john betonschaar »

Hi,

I have the same problem emerging xorg-x11, either by running magic or emerging manually. 'emerge xorg-x11' fails with the following error:

Code: Select all

 * Failed Patch: 9990_x86_6.8.0-xbox-20041024.patch!
 * 
 * Include in your bugreport the contents of:
 * 
 *   /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4/temp/9990_x86_6.8.0-xbox-20041024.patch-29379.out
In the .out file it says:

Code: Select all

patching file xc/config/cf/xorg.cf
Hunk #7 FAILED at 512.
Hunk #8 succeeded at 563 (offset 4 lines).
Hunk #9 succeeded at 590 (offset 4 lines).
Hunk #10 succeeded at 622 (offset 4 lines).
Hunk #11 succeeded at 651 (offset 4 lines).
Hunk #12 succeeded at 1584 (offset 4 lines).
1 out of 12 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file xc/config/cf/xorg.cf.rej
Since I have no idea where portage leaves the rejects (they where gone) I did a 'ebuild xorg-x11-... fetch unpack' and applied the patches myself, and the patch failed again, with the following rejects:

Code: Select all

***************
*** 608,617 ****

  #endif

- #ifndef DevelDRIDrivers
- #define DevelDRIDrivers mach64
- #endif
- 
  /* Sparc64 Drivers */
  #if defined(OpenBSDArchitecture) && defined(Sparc64Architecture)
  /* Amiga framebuffer module */
--- 512,517 ----

  #endif

  /* Sparc64 Drivers */
  #if defined(OpenBSDArchitecture) && defined(Sparc64Architecture)
  /* Amiga framebuffer module */
The mach64 lines are missing :-(

Strange, because it worked yesterday on the very same xbox? As a side node, that was *before* 'emerge -u world' completely borked my beautiful gentoox installation by 'downgrading' almost every package on my system, effectively removing binutils, bash etc. Still not sure how that happened, probably because I switched a fully loaded system to the default-linux/x86/xbox profile...

Anyway, I'm off trying to run magic again, editing the patch before it gets applied, and if that works we have a fix ;-)

Xorg patch fails - fixed

Post by john betonschaar »

Yup this solves it for me: in the 9990-xbox-.. patch file remove the following lines:

Code: Select all

@@ -608,10 +512,6 @@

 #endif

-#ifndef DevelDRIDrivers
-#define DevelDRIDrivers mach64
-#endif
-
 /* Sparc64 Drivers */
 #if defined(OpenBSDArchitecture) && defined(Sparc64Architecture)
 /* Amiga framebuffer module */
They're at lines 245 to 255 in the patch file I got when magic emerges xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4.

I copied the modified patch file to a temporary directory, ran magic again, waited until it started applying the xorg patches and before it got to the xbox patch I copied the modified patch over the one in /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4/work/patch. Emerging xorg as we speak... :-)

Maybe the patch needs fixing?

l8er,

Unfortunately, thats nothing to do with me.. thats another one of Gentoo's blunders which they will hopefully fix.

Great work, though!
