What is happenning here is that lsdvd is cracking the css keys via
libdvdcss and caching the keys in ~/.dvdcss. If you move the image to
another computer, or try to read it as another user, the keys will
neeed to be cracked again.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Problem with disk: cannot mount as ext3 but can as ext2

[gregory . sacre]

Hello,


I had a hard disk attached on an old RedHat PC formatted and mounted
as ext3 filesystem.
I removed the hard disk from the PC and plugged it in my Gentoo box. I
tried to mount it as ext3 file system and got this error:


| # mount -t ext3 /dev/hdd1 /jukebox
| mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd1,
|missing codepage or other error
|In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
|dmesg | tail  or so


I then tried to see the partition type with fdisk:


| Command (m for help): p
|
| Disk /dev/hdd: 81.9 GB, 81964302336 bytes
| 16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 158816 cylinders
| Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
|
|Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
| /dev/hdd1   1  15881680043232+  83  Linux


My next step was to try to repair it with fsck.ext3:


| # fsck.ext3 -p /dev/hdd
| fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdd
| /dev/hdd:
| The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
| filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
| filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
| is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
| e2fsck -b 8193 


I tried what was written with e2fsck:


| # e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hdd
| e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
| e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hdd
|
| The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
| filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
| filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
| is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
| e2fsck -b 8193 


After googling for a while, and not really finding an answer, I tried
to mount it as readonly, and because of a typo, I mounted it as
ext2... and it worked!!! I tried then to mount it normally, not
anymore as read-only with ext2 format... and it worked!!!
So my first question is: how come?
I'm sure the filetype is ext3 as it can be seen in my old fstab:


| [...]
| /dev/hdb5   swapswapdefaults0 0
| #/dev/hdc1   /jukebox   ext3defaults
  1 1--> this is the one ;-)
| [...]


I thought maybe I could try to repair it with the normal fsck:


| # fsck /dev/hdd1
| fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
| e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
| /dev/hdd1: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short
  read while reading block 525
|
| /dev/hdd1: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short
  read reading journal superblock
|
| fsck.ext3: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short
  read while checking ext3 journal for /dev/hdd1


Is there anything wrong with my hardware? Is it a super-block problem?
Is there a way to solve it?

Thank you in advance!

[gentoo-user] new package in an portage overlay tree - howto

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I couldn't find an answer in the developers documentation.

How can I add a new package to the portage tree.
Say, I'd like to add  dev-lang/D  for the language D
in my overlay tree.
Even the very first
ebuild /dev-lang/D/D-xxx.ebuild digest
says
!!! /LOCAL/local/portage does not seem to have a valid PORTDIR structure.

So, what has to be changed/added for portage to accept this new
package?

Many thanks for a hint,

[gentoo-user] ucspi-unix alive?

[Jorge Almeida]

I just emerged ucspi-unix, and on first trial if failed to recognize
some of the options mentioned in its own man page (the -D and -d flags
of unixserver aren't recognized, the -U flag fails saying the variable
UID is not set, although it is).
The home page is alive but it is really dry regarding documentation (not
a single example). The "ANNOUNCEMENT" informs how to subscribe to the
mailing list, but a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] meets a brick
wall. The site with the archives http://lists.em.ca/?list=bgware seems
to be gone to the twilight zone, too.

Anyone knows whether this is just my bad luck or something more
permanent?
And is there any alternative to ucspi-unix?

(The compilation went without any problem. My system is really up to
date, and revdep-rebuild had no requirements.)

What is the exact, full path to this ebuild?  And what is the exact, full 
value of PORTDIR_OVERLAY as reported by emerge --info?

Here's an example from my system:
$ emerge --info | grep OVERLAY
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
$ ls /usr/local/portage/media-video/andrew/andrew-1.2.ebuild
/usr/local/portage/media-video/andrew/andrew-1.2.ebuild

Yes, sorry, it's my fault. The name of the ebuild within directory XXX
didn't begin with XXX-

[gentoo-user] OT: encoding MP3 files for iPod

[Adrian]

Greetings;

I have acquired an iPodNano and have been playing about with that.
I've been able to do everything I need to do using GNUpod, yet there is
an oddity.

Any MP3 file I encode on my computer will not play.  The file is there,
the iPod sees it, but when I try to play the song, it simply skips over
it.  I don't have this problem with MP3 files from other sources.

My first guess is that something is different in the encoding process?
A few hours of reading man pages and Googling haven't helped any.

Suggestions?
Thanks much

Adrian

Most likely problems are (1) bitrate (2) CBR vs. VBR and (3) metadata 
location.

I don't know exact specs, but the same thing will happen on my iFP-799 if I 
use a bitrate that is either too high or too low.  My iFP also supports 
VBR, but some devices may not.

If you know you are using a bitrate that is supported by your nano, try 
stripping off all the ID3 tags (and any other metadata), it could be that 
the contents or location are confusing it.  I've fairly sure metadata can 
be stored either at the beginning or end of the file (I know FLAC can do 
this) and it's possible, albeit unlikely, that the nano only works with 
one of those locations.

As you use the "" it is still a * in the $query, but you have to be
carefull when you use the variable.
Try something like  dbcommand "$query"  and it will still be a * in your
query

nevermind..

I did it like this
query="  select \" *\"  from table where column1='something'   "

and though it echoes back as
select "*" from

when it gets to the SQL server, it's actually 
select * from  


oh well..

[gentoo-user] no usb mouse in xorg 7.1

[Peter Gille]

Hello all,

I have installed beryl and Xorg 7.1 as described in this guide:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_nVidia_GL_Desktop_Effects
It is working great, except for the fact that my USB mouse, a Logitech
MX-518, is no longer working. It works in console-mode using gpm so I
assume there must be something wrong in either my xorg.conf or in the
evdev driver.
Attached are my xorg.conf and my Xorg.0.log.
/dev/input/logitech is a device-node created by my custom udev-rules.
If anyone have any suggestions for solving this problem they would be
greatly appreciated.

So, I found an error in my make.conf and I emerged some xorg program 
(mesa for example) again.
With nvidia flag I emerged only mplayer again.
But the problem is yet here. I want to try to update xorg to 7.1 and I 
hope that it works...

evdev driver has changed a bit and is now configured a different way.
It's no longer possible to use evdev with special nodes (like yours)
You have to use the original device (event*) or use the name.

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=1532 Product=0002 Version=0100
N: Name="Razer Razer Diamondback Optical Mouse"
P: Phys=usb-:00:02.0-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=mouse0 event0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=7f 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

According to the output I can use the event0 device to configure my mouse or I 
can use the name. You can configure evdev with the name like this.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier  "Razer Diamondback"
Driver  "evdev"
Option  "Name"  "Razer Razer Diamondback Optical Mouse"

No. One finds only US English there. French is not available.

it came up, and I have not seen it again. Probably something in another 
X application.


There is something else about KDE: when xdm is added to rc-update, the 
real KDE login panel shows up at boot, and it understands azerty 
(contrary to what I had found, see above). But it does not recognize the

This is serious: how can I fix it?

You have to use the original device (event*) or use the name.

No idea about that, just have to try, but you can always fall back to the 
event* device node.

Most important things are:
* don't use a custom udev node
* use either "Name" or "Device", not both
* if you use name, copy the name exactly as shown in /proc

[gentoo-user] Emerging world selectively

[Fredrik Tolf]

Here's a portage question that I guess is quite elementary, but I
haven't been able to find an answer to it on my own:

If, when I emerge -Duva world, it calculates a package that I, for any
reason, would like to delay/not emerge at all, how would I do to emerge
all the packages except that one. This far, I've been running emerge
-1va on all the others in the list (manually, that is), but I'm getting
quite tired of that method, and I'm guessing that portage has some way
of avoiding it.

Thanks for any answers!

MP3 Id3v1 tags are at the end, ID3v2 tags are near the begining. Some files 
have both. 

As for Flac, this is not true. As one who recently wrote a Ruby library for 
parsing Flac metadata (and thus read the Flac spec[1]) I can say that all 
metadata, including the VORBIS_COMMENT block are before the stream contents 
(ie: the audio bits). The various metadata blocks can be in arbitrary order 
but always before the actual music data.

try this one (example with gcc):
echo ">sys-devel/gcc-4.0.1-r1" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

Where gcc-4.0.1-r1 is the version you want to be installed and never
updated.

Is this what you want?

What is happenning here is that lsdvd is cracking the css keys via
libdvdcss and caching the keys in ~/.dvdcss. If you move the image to
another computer, or try to read it as another user, the keys will
neeed to be cracked again.


dvdbackup doesn't work on "The Life of Mammals" (and surely others)
and dd means bad portability.  Are there any other options for a full

I also have this soundcard. What kernel version are you using? I found that 
with 2.6.16 I only had one bar in alsamixer, just like you. However with 
2.6.17 I got two bars and the sound worked, but quietly. Some googling told 
me that the volume was fixed in alsa version 1.0.13, which is newer than the 
version in the kernel. So I removed alsa from the kernel and emerged the 
unstable version of alsa-driver, which is version 1.0.13. The sound is now 
louder, but still not as much as I would like. I get the impression that the 
driver for this card is a work in progress, so hopefully it will get better. 
Also this version of alsa identifies the chip in the card as being a 
Conexant, rather than just ID 5047, which has to be a sign of progress :-)

See http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml for information on installing 
alsa using alsa-driver rather than the kernel.

[gentoo-user] ath0 turbo mode (108Mbps)

[Grant]

Has anyone gotten turbo mode to work with their madwifi/ath0 cards?
It is supported according to this (search for "turbo"):

http://madwifi.org/wiki/FAQ/HowDoI

I'm using the latest madwifi-ng on my router and client, and the
client uses wpa_supplicant to connect.  I've set these:

iwpriv ath0 mode 3
iwpriv ath0 turbo 1

on both systems, and both return "1" from:

iwpriv ath0 get_turbo

The problem is, I only see a maximum of 54Mbps from:

iwlist ath0 rate

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, how can I set up the above commands to be executed
automatically?  I can't seem to make it happen in /etc/conf.d/net.

[gentoo-user] ebuild for python-fuse?

[b.n.]

Hi,

I am looking for the python bindings to FUSE, since I want to write a 
little thing taking advantage of it.
Unfortunately in the portage tree I can only find bindings for ruby and 
perl, but not for python. It could be the moment to learn ruby or perl, 
but it would be another project in itself :)


I googled a bit but, uhm, results were quite confusing. Found an ebuild 
in a personal overlay of a gentoo developer, but I'm pretty unsure if 
it's the best choice.


Is there some good overlay that maintains a python-fuse ebuild and the like?

thanks,

[gentoo-user] Portage: Show list of required files without downloading anything?

[Statux]

My mother has a computer which still accesses the internet via a dialup
connection. When I do upgrades on her system, I typically grab a portage
snapshot from my system, drive up to her house 12 miles away, install
it, check to see which packages need upgrading, then somehow figure out
(never exactly) which files she actually needs so I can get them, again,
from my system, drive those files back up to her house and compile stuff
hoping I didn't miss anything too sizable.

Question: Is there a way that I can get Portage to run through the
packages/ebuilds and, instead of downloading anything from the net, just
have it show me which files were not in /usr/portage/distfiles which
will be needed?

So if I had 8 packages which needed upgrading, which would result in (an
estimated) 6,382K of downloads, is there some way for me to have it go
through each one of those all at once, similar to --fetchonly, and have
it spit out a list of everything which it did not find on the local
system?

It seems to be simple enough and a useful feature on some level but I
haven't found the answer.

Thoughts?

Did as you suggested and removed alsa from the kernel and compiled alsa-driver 
but It didn't work.  The only thing that changed was the name of the chip it 
detected, same as yours.  I still only have Master with alsamixer and no 
sound not even quitely  I'm using kernel 2.6.17-r8 and the 1.0.13 versions of 
alsa

This might be part of the problem:
When I try to play an mp3 with madplay I get the following error
audio: /dev/dsp: no such file or directory
Am I missing something from the kernel?

Dunno about any script, but first step would be:

emerge -uD -fp world

Then just filter it, e.g. in every line cut everything after the first
white space and throw the meat to wget.

Something like:

# emerge --fetchonly --pretend --quiet -u world | \

while read SRC_URI; do \

Hi,

I would do something like this :

- "emerge aria2" on your box (nice wget replacement which can download
from more hosts/protocols at the same time).

- run this command on your mother's box :

for url in $(emerge -fpuvDN world|grep -v "These are the packages that
would be fetched, in order:"|grep -v "Calculating") ; do echo ; echo
aria2c $url ;done > packages.sh

- copy the packages.sh on your box

-  run  ". packages.sh" on your box. This will download all the
required pakages in the current directory.

regards,

Boris.

I'm not sure what would cause that, udev should be creating the device. On my 
system /dev/dsp is a link to /dev/sound/dsp. Does that exist?

I assume that your user is in group audio, so that you have access rights 
to /dev/dsp?

My mistake; the specification is quite clear that metadata can only appear

Fixed the problem.  I found the following solution on the gentoo forums.  It 
worked for me.  I think the problem was with the lack of alsa-oss :-)
Thans for your help

Matt

1. Use the alsa-driver ebuild instead of the alsa drivers in the kernel. 
Unmerge alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss and any other alsa stuff you have. 
 
 2. Before you emerge alsa-driver, configure your kernel as per the 
instructions on the alsa guide using the method for alsa-driver users i.e. 
JUST sound support and nothing else. Then remove your kernel modules 
directory /lib/modules/whatever-your-kernel-is, rebuild your kernel and 
install it (make clean, make && make modules install, copythe bzImage file 
to /boot or however you choose to e.g. link it for your boot loader). 
 
 3. Clean up /etc/modules.d/alsa. Well, just delete it, to be honest. 
 
 4. Reboot with your new clean kernel. You'll probably want OSS emulation, so 
before emerge'ing alsa-driver, check your USE flags contain both alsa and oss 
flags. The alsa-driver ebuild will pick up on this. Emerge alsa-driver. 
 
 You should pretty much be back on track with the alsa guide now, just emerge 
alsa-utils (should pull in alsa-lib), and alsa-oss as well. Then run alsaconf 
again. Run alsamixer afterwards. Add alsasound to the boot runlevel (not 
default). Reboot.

There are a couple of things it might be:

1. install gnome-volume-manager
2. add yourself to the plugdev group
3. remove any lines in /etc/fstab for the same device you want to

Hi Grant,

You won't like this and probably I'll get hammered, but... I stopped using a 
lot of the  gentoo startup scripts months ago, including the network stuff...

I simply add them to /etc/conf.d/locale.start. Much faster startup and much 
more reliable in terms of setup anyways

I do hate to hear that.

I can have the iwpriv settings executed with:

iwpriv_ath0=( "mode 3" "turbo 1" )

and I was told on the madwifi IRC channel that the 108Mbps rate won't
actually show up with "iwlist ath0 rate" because turbo just does
rate*2 down the line.  I'm still wondering if turbo mode should work
with wpa_supplicant and if there is any way to determine if turbo mode
is actually functional on my system though.

[gentoo-user] WPA with wireless-tools

[Grant]

I've been using wpa_supplicant to connect to my Gentoo router, and I'm
wondering if I can use wireless-tools instead.  I have the following
/etc/conf.d/net:

config_ath0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_ath0="default via 192.168.0.1"
essid_ath0="mynetwork"
channel_ath0="11"
iwpriv_ath0=( "wpa 1" )
key_mynetwork="s:mykey"

/etc/init.d/net.ath0 returns no errors, has all the right output, and
my PCMCIA card's LEDs are blinking like they are connected, but I
can't ping the router.  I get "Destination Host Unreachable".  If I
switch back to wpa_supplicant it works perfectly.  I did notice,
however, that intentionally submitting the wrong password with
wireless-tools has the same effect.

Can anyone help?

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: encoding MP3 files for iPod

[Adrian]

Thanks to you both.  Wanna here something strange. . . or maybe not.

It's the file name.

A file named Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon - 02 - On The Run.mp3

will not work.

I rename it to

pf-dsotm-03.mp3

and it works just fine.

I don't know why yet.  I have mp3 files which have come from the
internet which have spaces, capital letters, lower case letters,
numbers, and they work fine.

When I have time my curiosity will force me to experiment some more to
find out exactly what causes this, but for now I'm content to be
loading the thingy up with music.

Adrian

perhaps there is some newfangled encryption on it. What version of

I'm using version 1.2.9 and it looks like that's the latest.

[gentoo-user] lsmod and startx don't agree

[maxim wexler]

Hello group,

I don't remember the exact details but I noticed that
any attempt to upgrade x11 revealed that everything
under xorg-x11 was blocked. So I did emerge -C
xorg-x11 then emerge xorg-x11. So far so good. I ran
xorgconfig and passed it the same values as before
since the hardware hasn't changed. Now when I run
startx it gives:

<...>

The modules are there under

So I'm stumped.

I don't have an ATI card, but I am pretty sure, that X complains about the 
missing radeon driver, not the missing kernel module

X driver module =/= kernel module

you need both.

At that point you were supposed to follow the migration to modular X guide 
[1]. The important bits you've missed is setting the VIDEO_CARDS and 
INPUT_DEVICES variables in /etc/make.conf.

[SNIP]

That means /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so from 
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati is missing. That will be pulled in by 
x11-base/xorg-x11 if VIDEO_CARDS includes radeon. So set those two variables 
and run:

# emerge -va1 --newuse x11-base/xorg-x11

comma is the correct syntax, not semi-colon.

Once you've done that, log out and back in again.

looks ok.

if the logout-login doesn't work, then post the relevant part
of /var/log/messages when plugging in the usb device.

Also, post details of the usb thing that you're trying to use - what is
it? and the gnome, udev and kernel version.

HTH,
