Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with new kernel

[Kevin Philp]

Yes ext3 and via_sata are configured in the kernel and not as modules.
All the filesystem sections are compiled directly into the kernel and
all the device drivers I need for the motherboard.

Did you create the partitions with fdisk? If yes try removing them again and 
recreate them using evmsn. It could also be helpful to turn them into EVMS 
volumes.

Re: [gentoo-user] pernicious printer problem [SOLVED]

For me (and I guess for many others), the main problem
with Gentoo is hardware setup. Not that I'm complaining -
I knew that when I chose Gentoo for my new computer, and
I learned a lot so far.

Printer setup however, was a breeze. It just went according
to the manual; configuring the paralell port, drivers installed
with CUPS and foomatic. No problem at all.

Well, just one - the printer does not print. Any print job
goes into the printing queue and then moves to the completed
printing jobs folder. However, the printer just sits there,
doing nothing (not even blinking a led), looking smug.

Now, I grant that the printer (a Lexmark Z42) is a POS and
in addition, I'm saving a fortune on ink. On the other hand,
my wife is starting to make sarcastic comments and reminds
me daily that she _could_ print under windows.

My system has an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, with an AMD64
processor, running Gentoo amd64. CUPS gave no suspicious
output (even after setting output to debug2).
/var/log/messages told me that /dev/lp0 was successfully
created, and lsmod shows that lp, parport, and parport_pc
are loaded.
Any ideas how to diagnose the problem?


Finally, I found the time to track down this one. Owing to
some foomatic weirdness the ppd file for the printer was not
installed. The really annoying bug however, seems to come
from CUPS, which did not complain at all that no ppd file
was found, silently did send nothing to the printer, and
filed the job as successfully completed.

Hooray! At last, I can print (well, I could print if my
children hadn't used up all the printer paper for their
doodlings).

Thanks.

Here goes another kernel compile!

I have downloaded bplay-0.992.tar.gz  gwc-0.19-10.tgz  gwc-0.20-10b.tgz 
gwc-lib-0.05.tgz  track_rec-0.03.tgz  wavlist.tgz

Which version are you running? gwc-0.19-10 or gwc-0.20-10b?

[gentoo-user] Suspend to Ram not waking up properly!

[Ryan Viljoen]

Hi

I am trying to get some for of suspend to ram or suspend to disk
working on my notebook. I have got standby working nicely on my
notebook. I tried to sleep (suspend to mem) it seems to suspend
(shutdown as such) but than I cant seem to bring it out of the sleep
state. When I press the power button you hear the harddrive starting
and it comes out of sleep mode but the screen does not switch on
again.

I have a Mercer notebook with ICH4 chipset and 82852/855GM Integrated
Graphics Device by Intel as well.

My acpi scripts are as follows:
-
sleep.sh
-
#!/bin/sh

logger "Sleep - Going to Standby"
touch /tmp/was_sleeping
#echo -n standby > /sys/power/state
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
-


-
power.sh
-
#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f /tmp/was_sleeping ]; then
 touch /tmp/was_sleeping
 echo -n mem >| /sys/power/state
else
 logger "Coming out of Standby"
 rm -f /tmp/was_sleeping
 /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
 /etc/init.d/hotplug restart
fi

Thanks Rav

Based on my experience, the use flag for binaries does not propagate.
Hence, if you use a pre-built binary and you don't like the USE flag,
used, it's not gonna be helpful to you.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think those binary packages
propagate into /var/db as well. (IF they do, I think they might not
reflect the actual USE flags used to built the binary.

Personally I found it much easier to use Shorewall, this is a firewall
which does all the low-level ip-tables config and gives you more
high-level access. Personally since switching i have not used IP-tables
rules at all.

Search google and have a look, you may find it more flexible then a script.

Frankly, I've stopped trying to grok iptables but rather I use a
frontend like shorewall. It's much simpler than doing it all by
yourself.

Perhaps you can take a look , perhaps you will like it?

Actually, isn't it a simple thing such that one can write udev rules
such that that disk will always be referred as TVstorage no matter if
it's sda/sdb/sdc/etc?? It can use for example, the DISK's or partitions
ID/Number etc.

Also, if you're on Gnome and you not heard of Project Utopia/Gentopia,
perhaps it's time for you to visit it and read about it.

Ps : Is /dev/sdb2 a removable disk? if so, perhaps gnome-volume-manager
can help (along with gamin/inotify/hal/dbus)

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] tips on my 1st try at iptables?

[Ryan Viljoen]

I tend to agree, I also tried to get a setup similar to what you have
or want up and running. I got bout 3/4 of the way there and no further
:( I havent had a chance to setup my firewall since than but shorewall
is definately going to be my choice when I get round to it :P Its
interface is a lot easier to use and to understand. Especially when it
comes to forwarding and such.

Sorry, askar, just got around to checking this.

YES, Thunderbird does support this feature:

(translated from Dutch, may not be exact, but should be close enough)

Edit=>Account Preferences=>Server Preferences:

Check : "Leave messages on server"

and the then-activated sub-checkbox:

"Until I delete or move them from the Inbox"

Don't know the effect if you use message filters, but probably not good
(since those would move the messages from the Inbox).

But still closer than you are, and better than setting up an additional
PC to enable IMAP, of all things.

Sylpheed-Claws (GTK2) does not seem to support this feature
"out-of-the-box", but a plugin may-- I'm not too familiar with
Sylpheed-Claws yet.

Hope this helps,
Holly

Yes, it does.  After more reading of the  docs I think I'll have to recreate

well, it is usuall, that the ebuilds are ready, before a kde release is out - 
hardmasked.

Maybe he unmasked completly kde3.4.x, or some dev unmasked 3.4.1 by accident, 
but I would not care too much about it. 3.4.1 should come soon ;)

Every one I've tried, both single slot and the multi-format types.

Card readers all use the standard usb-storage drivers, nothing special is

According to /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, the tarballs aren't
available yet (so I didn't bother unmasking). I thought maybe the
ebuilds were nonetheless in Portage because the devs have some secret
source for preliminary testing or something.

Thanks for the tip-- in the case that I want to emerge the newest
gDesktlets in order to try that spiffy new RSS tickerbar and get off of
KDE finally (I really like having a ticker and specifically a scrolling
bar, and Knewsticker doesn't so much like running under other DEs), and
so wind up with the same situation again, I'll keep it in mind.

In any case, I did quickpkg python-2.3.5 and portage, but it was not
necessary to use the backups; the unmerge of Python 2.4.1 went fine and
all I had to do was re-emerge pysol and java-config. No other
applications were disturbed at all.

Thanks,
Holly

I installed ipcop briefly (just to have a look) and between my lan

to put on the box (squid, local portage mirror, ntp server, etc).

The project is actually coming along quite nicely so far, thanks for

According to what I've read on bugzilla, this is a patch for kde 3.4.0

I think a far better option would be to filter them in
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf.  Then you do not have to re-patch your
kernel with every upgrade.

I use the following instructions to filter out the "PHY reset until link
up" messages that I get when eth0 is "up" (required for ifplugd to
function), but not connected to anything.  It can easily be adapted for
the RAID messages.

# The eth reset messages also bug me...
filter not_eth_reset {
not(match("PHY reset until link up"));
};

log { source(src); filter(not_eth_reset); destination(messages); };

Well, simple for you maybe. Not so simple for me. ;-)

However putting a label on the partition does seem to be working now.
I don't know why it didn't mount a couple of times but it did on later
reboots so for now I'm just going to chalk it up to electronic
gremlins and hope it doesn't return.

There is a similar new problem that may be related to this one that
I'm going to ask for help in a thread later this morning. Thanks in
advance for your help on that one.

Yes, sdb is an external 1394 hard drive. Practically it's not going to
be removed since it's being used for MythTV data storage. However when
I add another 1394 drive it may be recognized as sdb or sdc so
mounting my device name (/dev/sdX#) doesn't work. I also have to deal
with the case where maybe the drive gets turned off and then power
applied after the machine is up and booted.

Thanks,
Mark

Sorry, I think you have us stumped.  If you run:

[gentoo-user] HELP! - driver not working after boot but works when modprobed - did emerge -C devfsd cause this?

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I have a Gentoo machine that used to run devfsd but was converted
to udev to run MythTV. The conversion seemed to have worked fine.
devfsd was disabled and a kernel built that used udev instead. The
machine is using a development version of the ivtv driver not
available yet from portage due to the PVR capture card choice. The
driver was built and installed as per the included instructions. The
machine was working fine. It continued to work after many reboots,
etc., so everything was fine as far as I could tell.

   Later, when doing a clean up on the world file, the command emerge
-pv --depclean told me that it wanted to remove devfsd. I didn't do it
at first but later decided to let it remove devfsd in favor of
depending on udev. At first it appeared that there were no problems
but recently it seems that the ivtv driver is not loading correctly at
boot time. The driver is loaded and I do not see any error messages
but when attempting to capture video I get bad audio and a blue
screen. After doing an rmmod ivtv && modprobe ivtv both the audio and
video are perfect.

   My question is whether the emerge -C devfsd has somehow caused this
misoperation or is it more likely that some other update has caused
this problem?

   I have tried re-emerging devfsd and also re-emerging udev but
nothing I do so far seems to get it back to where it was.

   I really do not understand how udev works other than there are some
rules that create devices. Is it possible that with udev the required
v4l devices are somehow not created and the driver install at boot
time doesn't find what it needs thus causing this problem?

   I hope someone can help shed some light on this. Let me know what
sort of info might help about the machine. It's a fully up to date
mostly non-~x86 box running 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 and is an Nforce-2 MB.
It's been up and running Gentoo since it's birth almost 2 years ago.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
By memory try: 'emerge package-name -K' for unconditionally installing a
binary package, or use"-k" (small 'k') to install a binary only if it's
available, if not install from source. See "man emerge"
Usually binary packages are in '/usr/portage/packages/All/...'

This probably accounts for revdep-rebuild never getting it quite right
for binary packages like openoffice-bin and always wanting to
re-emerge it again?

Unless someone has a better idea, try turning on udev logging in

[gentoo-user] firefox sage

web-surfing. Here's the issue: when Firefox opened up
the first time it invited me to upgrade which I did by
clicking the link provided. But now when I navigate to
Firefox Extensions and click on Sage install, nothing
happens. 

Is there an ebuild I need? On a related note: as I
discover other programs I like, what is the procedure
for installing them if they are not found among the
distfiles or gentoo pkges? Do you just unpack and run
the install scripts a la slack-ware?

OK, here goes. The first batch is the reboot. I'll include the part
where the machine is going down in addition to the actual boot up. I
captured video after this boot. The video was bad:

Hi Maxim,

Really, there are very few programs that you (as a general user) might
like that are not found within Portage. Certainly Firefox is-- as a
precompiled binary as well as a source tarball.

So frankly I don't know what has happened when you upgraded some
otherwise-installed Firefox via some internal Firefox script to upgrade
to some unknown version. Meaning, I don't know what files and folders
you actually have, rather than the defaults installed by Portage.

Certainly I've had similar problems when my Portage-installed Azureus
client updates itself via the update utility (rather than through
Portage). It's just not a good idea.

That said, the first thing that occurs to me is that the Sage extension
(and possibly all of your extensions) may only be installable by root,
because the file where this "global" extension is kept is only writeable
by root. Most extensions install to ~/.mozilla/firefox/extensions, but
some require being in the application's directory rather than the user
directory, due to needing access to internal program functions. In the
case of a non-standard install, it's quite possible that all extensions
need to be installed by root.

What you describe is the behaviour I've sometimes seen when an extension
must be installed by root and cannot be installed by a user (depends on
extension; some of them try and fail to install, some won't even try).

It's also possible that the download has been blocked; the bar that
appears on top of a page when Firefox blocks a download from a
non-authorized site is easy to miss. If this is the case, it's also easy
to fix; the bar tells you where to click and then displays the
Reject/Allow dialog, so you can easily allow the site through (if you
trust it).  By default, the only site allowed is the new https site
(Mozilla Update), so if you aren't using that, you probably should be.
However, I know of several other "semi-official" sites, such as
Extension Room, which used to be official but are now "deprecated" by
the new site, yet are still useful on occasion. Such sites will be
blocked for downloading by the browser until you authorize them, but I
see no issue with authorizing them if needed or wanted.

So it's probably one of those two things. But if I was you, I would
emerge sync and install Firefox through Portage before going any further
anyway.

Hope this helps.
Holly

[gentoo-user] ssh/scp browser?

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I think there must be some sort of simple GUI-based replacement for
what I'm doing all the time with ssh/scp. I first ssh into the machine
and then find a file and scp it back here. Seems like there should be
some simple app that knows the account/password for certain machines,
shows me what's there and then allows drag and drop between the two?

   I'm looking in the category list but nothing pops up.

Thanks,
Mark

I would first open the CUPS administration web interface
(http://localhost:631 in your web browser) and see if the printer had
some stuck jobs in the queue, and stop them if so. If that didn't work,
I might even go so far as to remove the installed printer, stop CUPS,
restart CUPS, reopen the web interface and reinstall the printer.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

You could also try sftp. It allows you to connect to the machine, then 
search for some files (cd and ls) and finally download them to your 
locale machine (get).

If you are using KDE, type "fish://[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the location bar or
run command dialog. Navigate to the directory you need and bookmark it.

If you use kde, konqueror's "fish://" protocol with public key login 
will let you do just that, ie, access the remote host in a

This is indeed a "classic" pentium chip with mmx added. You can use

You could use sys-fs/sshfs-fuse. It allows you to mount a remote

Thanks Neil,
   I run Gnome. Prossibly there is an equivalent there? 

   sftp does connect but it's not gui based. This is to help my wife
and kid transfer files back and forth easier and they are not very
terminal oriented coming from Windows. (Heck - neither am I really)

I tried the gftp app but it didn't connect.  Possibly gftp didn't
know to use my ssh programs since there's a setup section in the
Options section. I'm looking around now for instructions on setting
that up.

   I appreciate your ideas.

I've always been able to do:

sftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dir/I/want

in the nautilus location bar in gnome. I then bookmark it in nautilus, easy to

When a binary tbz2 package is built, the /var/db data
for that package (USE flags, etc..) is appended onto
the end of the tbz2 file.  Portage and quickpkg use
the tools xpak and tbz2tool to handle this.  When a
binary package is installed the data goes back into
the /var/db database.

revdep-rebuild attempts to re-emerge any package that
has broken dynamic links.  This does not help a
package such as openoffice-bin that is not built
directly from sources.

[gentoo-user] basic network

[luis jure]

hello list, i'm trying to setup my very first "network" at home.

i have my desktop (gentoo linux) and a recently purchased laptop (still with
windows XP) both connected to a switch.

the switch is also connected to an adsl cable modem to the internet.

both computers connect to the internet using pppoe (the isp masks up to 2 ip
addresses).

so far so good, but i also want to transfer files from one computer to
another. which is the most convenient (meaning fastest and without
additional hardware) way to do that? and how can i [learn to] configure both
systems accordingly?

best,

list /mnt/gentoo, found all as it should be. 

And when I chroot / is there as if I had booted
normally. And so is /boot.

Makes no sense.

According to one respondent /etc/mtab might be worth a
look.

livecd / # less /etc/mtab
/dev/ROOT / xfs rw,noatime 0 0
/dev/hda2 /boot ext2 rw,noatime 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy msdos rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy msdos rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0

hmmm, that's strange; /dev/ROOT(hda4) is not xfs, it
should be reiserfs. And when it was mounted the
console noted that it *was* reiserfs. But /boot is
correct. Or is it that mtab just lists defaults? But I
notice that once I've chroot'ed I can mount drives
according to the options listed in the fstab I wrote
during the install.

It's all a darkness.

i think you should make an alias of your network interface for your
internal communication and bind samba, nfs or what you plan to use to
that interface.

look in the /etc/conf.d/net.example for how to make the alias if you
don't know how.

how to bind your samba, nfs ... to a interface is in the manuals or
howto's of the programm you want to use!

[gentoo-user] Can't find linux/wrapper.h

[Cheryl Homiak]

Hi.
I was trying to emerge the thinkpad package and got this error when it 
failed:
linux/wrapper.h: no such file or directory.
I thought perhaps it had something to do with linux-headers; apparently 
the 2.6.11 linux-headers ebuild has dependency problems and the 
linux-headers for 2.6.8 that I do have installed don't yield any such 
filename that I can find on my system. Can somebody tell me what I 
should be looking for?
Tia.

Yes, thanks, emerge --sync is awesome! But must it run

it know enough to stop? Is it repeating itself? At

The easiest way would be to use distcc.  You'll need another Linux

[gentoo-user] When a dependancy built by hand

[Harry Putnam]

I want to install emacs-w3m.  I have already built an emacs install by
hand from cvs emacs tar ball.  I always build emacs myself.

Running emerge -v -p emacs-w3m shows:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Emerge wants to install another emacs.  How can I tell it I already
have emacs installed?

One way would be to build it from scratch too, but I'd prefer to stay
close to an emerge installed system when possible.

I guess here would be where writing udev rules would be good.

Perhaps you can also try reading DSD's udev rules writing guide? (I
didn't have a use for it (yet) so I'm only going the simple path) :-)

I'm sorry but I looked inside the content of a tbz2 file and didn't find
that it has any references to the /var/db directory.

And what does tbz2tool and xpak do? There's not much of a Man page for
them.

[gentoo-user] Clarification on iso downloads

[cothrige]

I have been interested in trying out gentoo for quite a while, but
have been having some trouble making out just which files I need.  The
book seems clear for most everything, but as regards my particular
situation it is not so.  I want to install in the typical way, from
source packages rather than with precompiled binaries.  However, I
have a lowly dialup, and cannot even imagine trying to download each
package at that speed.  I do have some indirect access to a computer
with a faster connection, just a day or two a month, but I cannot use
torrent or be there to watch it and click on a bunch of links.  So,
what I am having to do is know in advance exactly which iso I need,
and then start the download at the beginning of the day and then later
burn the disc to bring home.

The book mentions a networkless install, but this seems to be a binary
package installation.  That is the inference I am drawing in regards
to the universal install disc and the packages disc.  Am I wrong?  The
day I have access to a faster connection is coming up this Wednesday
and I am hoping to clarify what I need so that I can consider trying
out a Gentoo install.  So, in short, which specific iso images can I
use to achieve a reasonably complete non-binary Gentoo installation
without any internet access whatsoever?  I very much appreciate any
help that can be offered.

The data not inside the tar archive.  It's appended
onto the end of the tbz2 file.  You know it's there
because if you unzip the tbz2 file then bunzip2 says
"trailing garbage after EOF ignored".

They take care of what's needed to handle the appended
data.  They're not documented because normally they're
only used internally by portage.
