What's the deal with make?

Version 3.82 is (I think) the current version, but there's this note in the changelog:

Quote:

pasture/make-3.81-x86_64-3.txz: Added.
This version of GNU make is still needed to build many things.
Added the --libdir patch for proper library searching on x86_64.

Dose anyone know more?

The first one seems a typo: "athpriv" should probably be "authpriv". But where?
I have an unmodified syslog.conf.

Someone else reported that in ##slackware yesterday too.

Hi, all.

Where is the best place to add an entry for rc.mcelog to start on the rc scripts? rc.local?

Until Pat updates sysvinit-scripts, which i imagine he will before a new stable release, yes.

It's nice to see that I am not alone.

Haven't upgraded yet -- but excited to see new items in current to try out. Will be upgrading later tonight.

rfernandez · 10-14-2010, 08:58 AM

Thanks, sahko.

But it is strange, though. Just added an entry like this

Code:

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.mcelog ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.mcelog start
fi

to rc.local, and even though the script is called, mcelog is not started. I have to type in terminal, as root, the same line and mcelog starts.

Are you sure rc.local is called and executed?
It's called from rc.M, and in my experience,
if there is an entry in rc.M that is wrong, it will not continue.
Try to add an echo command to see if it's executed.

Kind regards

rfernandez · 10-14-2010, 09:08 AM

It is. I get the echo message

Code:

Starting mcelog daemon:  /usr/sbin/mcelog --daemon

but it is no on "ps aux | grep mce". If i start manually, it does show on "ps aux | grep mce".

EDIT: The complete output from init, before login:

Code:

Starting ACPI daemon:  /usr/sbin/acpid
Starting system message bus:  /usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure ; /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
Starting HAL daemon:  /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=yes
Starting wicd daemon: /usr/sbin/wicd &
Loading OSS compatibility modules for ALSA.

Starting gpm:  /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2
Starting mcelog daemon:  /usr/sbin/mcelog --daemon

but now I see this on /var/log/syslog, just after the initialization

Code:

Oct 14 11:11:15 darkstar mcelog: failed to prefill DIMM database from DMI data
Oct 14 11:11:15 darkstar mcelog: Kernel does not support page offline interface

I'm already googlin' this error to see if it is related.

Interesting. I noticed similar (not identical) messages here a couple of days ago:

Code:

Starting sysklogd daemons:  /usr/sbin/syslogd
syslogd: unknown facility name "authpiv" 
syslogd: unknown priority name "nonecrron.none"
/usr/sbin/klogd -c 3 -x

This is likely related to libc, but damned if I know exactly what :/
Pat's aware, and we're investigating...

Happens here too.
This is the most comprehensive resource i could find.

Speek · 10-14-2010, 10:40 AM

Hmm, it seems syslogd isn't writing logs at all anymore. The modify time of /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog is from before I did the upgrade. After that I rebooted and have been up for about 8 hours.

GazL · 10-14-2010, 10:53 AM

Yes, mine is the same Speek. Looks like it's good and broken.
