It's been years since I configured ISDN on a Linux box and I've only ever done 
it with external devices, but the last time I did it, I configured it just 
like any other modem. I know we had some issues getting the settings just 
right, but once the two machines started talking connect times were almost 
instantaneous. It was quite nice.

[gentoo-user] KDE Sound

Hello.

I have a problem with sounds and KDE.

I have ALSA compiled in as per instructions, and sound works perfectly
from XMMS and ogg123... However, on KDE startup, I get the following
message:


Sound server informational message:

The sound server will continue to use the null output device


However, as reported earlier, if I start XMMS music works fine.

There is no file/directory called /dev/dsp

Go around. Check slashdot. Personally, I think this protest only hurts people

Here is the main anti-patent site with many links and background information.

And it is pretty objective too. For even more links you can check out

Oh, and by the way, as reported in the German heise newsticker, the vote in

Look at your XF86Config, you probably didn't enable the glx extension,
here is a piece of mine ( I use the nvidia driver with a Geforce4
MX440SE ) :

Load"dbe"   # Double buffer extension

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection  "extmod"

I guess I need to go do some reading, because I don't understand the
protest. It always seems, to me anyway, like the have not's trying to use
what the have's have for free. It always comes off, to me, like it's a
requirement for companies to pay employees wages, but companies shouldn't be
able to own property, physical or intellectual no matter what they paid the
people to do the work.

Where can I read a discussion about both sides of this to get the other
point of view?

And sorry for using bandwidth, but at least I am trying to be constructive.

oh wait, I think I have it..
I Read The Fine Manual:

Suspicious rcfile "x" 

The owner of the rcfile was not the recipient or   
root, the file was world writable, or the direc-
tory that contained it was  world  writable,  or 
this  was the default rcfile ($HOME/.procmailrc)
and either it was group writable or the directo-   
ry that contained it was group writable (the
rc-file was not used).

Hello,
xfree-drm is not necessary, if you are using nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx ;-) 
Have you changed your /etc/X11/XF86Config to use the nvidia-driver? There's a 
section that should read similar to this:
Section "Device"
  BoardName"AutoDetected"
  Driver   "nvidia"  <-- if you have nv or something diff here, change
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  Option   "dpms"
  Option   "HWCursor" "1"
  VendorName   "AutoDetected"
EndSection

If this does not help, could you post your /var/log/XFree86.0.log?

[gentoo-user] Tungsten T and Gentoo

[dsoper]

Hi all,

Has anyone gotten the Palm Tungsten T to work with Gentoo?  I've tried
the following:

1)  Replaced visor.c and visor.h in the gentoo sources with the
respective files in 2.4.22-vanilla.
2)  Compiled in all the kernel modules and inserted them as instructed
in the various howtos.
3)  Tried the various suggestions as to which /dev/usb/tts/ to use.
4)  Emerged hotplug.
5)  Done a hard reset.

When I try to sync the PDA, I can see the thing in /proc/bus/usb/device,
but I can't get it to sync.  Anyone have any ideas on this?

Cheers,
Dennis

How is one supposed to resolve a conflict like this one?

I've tried emerge -c libelf, but the package is marked as portected, so
nothing happens.

I'll second that. Shorewall works at a higher level of abstraction -
letting you design network zones and policies - rather that dealing with
the details of constructing iptables commands. It's very flexible and,

Re: [gentoo-user] iptables help

[Peter Eis]

Why hazzle with iptables?
I'd rather recommend using shorewall (emerge shorewall). It's much 
easier to configure and has as lot features you'll probably want.

In all this mess remember to accept packets to "lo" from your box as well as
posibly  icmp errors

$iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT  #Established related will take care of
the return packets

$iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type 0 -j ACCEPT
echo "Accepting ECHO REPLYS"

$iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type 3 -j ACCEPT
echo "Accepting DESTINATION UNREACHABLE"

$iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type 5 -j ACCEPT

#maybe
#$iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT
#echo "Accepting ECHO"

$iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type 11 -j ACCEPT
echo "Accepting TIME EXCEEDED"



And. if your doing this remotely copy this to a file make it exacutable and
set cron to run it every hour or so while your working out the bugs ...so if
you do lock yourself out the system will open itself back up without you
having to go anywhere.

i'm thinkin' you want:

# policies
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP

# accept established connections to save having to go through all of those rules.
iptables -A INPUT  -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

# dns, repeat for each address
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p udp -s  --sport 1024:65535 -d  --dport 
53 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -s  --sport 1024:65535 -d  --dport

# outgoing traffic
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -s  --sport 1024:65535 --dport 22 -m state

iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -s  --sport 1024:65535 --dport 25 -m state

iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -s  --sport 1024:65535 --dport 80 -m state

# incomming connections

note the following:
  (a) the chain policy (-P) should always be put at the top.
  (b) the output DROP policy is generally regarded as a little too
  restrictive, but i like it that way...  you may want to use them
  or not.
  (c) this script doesn't do everything, ie. it doesn't disable
  forwarding and check for martains etc.  i would suggest you buy a
  book and get the low-down on iptables to fully understand
  everything about it.
  (d) connection tracking must be available to iptables.  so you should
  either load the module (ip_conntrack), or compile it directly into
  your kernel.

Sounds like a good idea Ernie.  I'm afraid I've never done anything like 
that though, so I can't offer any advice.  I suppose you could use NFS, 
with an fstab entry like:
remotebox:/mnt/backup  /mnt/remote/mnt/backup nfs 
user,noauto,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nolock 0 0
(all one line)
...and an entry in the remote box's /etc/exports like:
/mnt/backup 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(sync,insecure,no_root_squash,rw)

Then you wouldn't need to use ssh.  (man exports(5))

The script makes a mirror of your system.  If you delete any files, the 
rsync "--delete" flag deletes those files on the backup next time it's 
run; otherwise the backup would continually grow (man rsync).  Downside 
of this is that you only have the opportunity to recover accidentally 
deleted files (one of the main reasons for having a backup, after all) 
up to the next backup run.  This isn't a problem for me because I have 
another backup strategy using tar.  I suppose you could alter the 
script so that it only does the delete thing once a week, say.

if it's Sunday; then
  rsync --progress --delete -av --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE / \
   $BACKUP_TO/rsync/
else
  rsync --progress -av --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE / \
   $BACKUP_TO/rsync/
fi

I have xfree installed.  I emerged xfree explicitly, one time with -X USE
flag, and one time with +X.  After each emerge, I attempted 'emerge
--oneshot ffmpeg', with both X and -X USE flags.  In all four cases, the
above error resulted.  I know I have (at least some) xfree libs installed,
because I successfully emerge imlib2 which links against them (I believe).

'emerge -p xfree' returns:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

It's been a little while since I've done something like this, but I think
I've got it.  'cat /dev/stdin' is the wrong way to read input to a
command.  Also, I'd just save everything in a variable, and avoid disk
access.  And make sure you're only sending the header.  I believe there's
an 'h' flag for procmail to do this.  Scanning every line of a 5MB email
will be a bit of a performance loss.

#!/bin/bash
notify_msg=""
while read header_line
do
if `echo $header_line | egrep -q '^(From|Date|Subject)'`
then
notify_msg="${notify_msg}${header_line}\n"
fi
done
echo -e $notify_msg | mail -s "Mail Notification" $1


If you don't understand the grep line, read the entire grep man page top
to bottom.  It will be one of the more useful things you do.

Hope this helps.

You misunderstand. With your example, I believe you have ppp0 as the 
external connection and eth0 acting as the internal connection to the 
LAN. ppp0 is not the internet connection. eth0 is connected to a router 
that is connected to a T1. I want to allow all traffic to and from ppp0 
and masquerade anything from ppp0 out to the LAN/internet through eth0. 
I want anything incoming connections into eth0 with a source address of 
192.168.254.0/24 to be allow through. Anything other incoming 
connections into eth0 (from the internet) I want to be blocked unless it 
is for port 22, 25, or 80.

yes, and if you use ssh to connect to that box you can try the following:

iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp --sport ssh -j TOS --set-tos 
Minimize-Delay

I use that for my outgoing connection, but don't really know if it really 
helps...

Peter,
Your script looks like it might do the trick for me. I do have a couple 
of questions though. How would I adapt it for a remote backup location? 
/mnt/backup is a normally unmounted disk on my secondary Gentoo box. I 
have configured passwordless ssh between USER with sudo privledges on 
the machine to be backed up, to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The way to ssh in to 
the remote box, mount /mnt/backup and then do the rsync eludes me. I 
wonder if you might steer me in the right direction.
The second question is about the rsync command in your script. What 
does the --delete option do? Does it delete old backups? Forgive me for 
being a bit dense here, but I'm rather new at scripting.

Correct?
Something I forgot to mention is that there is a 2nd interface: ppp0. I 
have a ppp dial-in server set up for my use. I have a few iptables rules 
set up to NAT stuff from ppp0 out through eth0. Will the above rules 
interfere with that?

Re: [gentoo-user] Slow boot with Serial ATA Harddisk

Thanks for the tips. I added teh hdg=none to my grub.conf and it worked like a

However I'm not sure what you mean by disable multi-mode I ran make menuconfig 
and under [IDE ATA and ATAPI Block Devices] 
[]"Use Multi mode by devault" is already disabled. Should I turn it on? 
or is there another setting I'm not seeing. I thought I could add the hdparm 
rc-script as a dependency to the checkfs rc-script so when fsck gets called 
the harddisk will already be in DMA mode. However I am yet to make this work.

Thanks again for taking the time.

I'd suggest using the projectfiles.com rc.firewall script. Works For Me,
and it can do some rather neat NAT sorts of things, too. I don't know
how well it'll work under Gentoo as a startup script, but you can always
just run it manually.

[gentoo-user] glibc 2.3 won't compile

[downtime null]

okay. i did kindof a stupid thing. i downloaded the binary version of
kmud and attempted to install it to /usr/local by copying the in the
lib, bin and share dirs in the package directory to their respective
locations in /usr/local. well, i didn't backup any of those
directories in /usr/local and i didn't use the interactive switch for
copy.

so, now, xnview (and possibly other programs) won't start and gives
this error:

xnview: /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found
(required by /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6)
xnview: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: version `GLIBC_2.1.1' not found (required

xnview: /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found
(required by /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6)

so i tried to reinstall glibc, but it gives me this error:

checking size of long double... configure: error: cannot compute
sizeof (long double), 77
See `config.log' for more details.

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.3.2-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 405, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)


i don't know why it would fail on something as simple as this. does
anyone know why this would happen and how to fix it? it worries me
that glibc isn't compiling. this could lead to a lot of nasty
problems. any ideas on how to get glibc to compile? or, is there a way
for me to get a binary version for my system that would be fine with
Gentoo?

[gentoo-user] promise ultra33 pci card and cdrom

[William Kenworthy]

I am using a promise ultra33 pci card to handle my ide cdwriter as the
two MB ideports each have a raid0 disk on them.  The promise card has a
cd only, no hard disks.

I am getting errors on the scsi emulation, but find I cant turn dma on
using hdparm as there is no /dev/hde, though /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is
present.

There is an ide host0, and a host2, but no host1 so is devfs stuffing
up?

Is there an alternative way to turm dma on, and any other features of
the ultra33 besides hdparm?

The first thing I'd do is have a look at /var/log/emerge.log and see 
what you changed just before your problems start. This should point you 
towards potential culprits. Then I would suggest trying to use a backed 
up copy of /etc/make.conf and/or /etc/etc-update.conf.

[gentoo-user] emerge plustek-parallel

[Ernie Schroder]

I have this old plustek parallel port scanner that I can get to work 
"sometimes" It currently isn't being seen.(probably a version# problem 
but it's been too much of a bother to futz around with it.
So, I was looking for the driver directory and did 
$ locate plustek
I was surprized to find an ebuild in portage for plustek-parallel-0.42.9
It IS masked but I decided to give it a shot. It failed and I've been 
looking at the output to figure out why but I can't figure it out. 
Below is the last 30 lines or so of the output:

Re: [gentoo-user] Procmail and mail "notification" (SOVLED)

[Jason Stubbs]

Hmmm

I've called the script notify and changed it as follows:

#!/bin/sh

TMP1=`mktemp /tmp/mailcheck.XX`
TMP2=`mktemp /tmp/mailcheck.XX`

cat /dev/stdin > $TMP1
grep Date: $TMP1 | head -n 1 > $TMP2
grep From: $TMP1 | head -n 1 >> $TMP2
grep Subject: $TMP1 | head -n 1 >> $TMP2
cat $TMP2 | mail -s "Mail Notification" $1
cat $TMP1

rm $TMP1
rm $TMP2


In ~/.procmailrc, I have put:

:0fw
* ^X-Spam-Status: No*
| /usr/local/bin/notify jason


However, *any* mail that goes through it comes out blank! Whether it is spam 
or not! The script works fine from the shell so it's got to be something 
wrong with how I'm using procmail. I can't see where the error is though. I 
checked the $TMP files and both come out blank, so it seems that procmail is 
not piping the mail through the filter. Either way, it doesn't explain why 
spam is being corrupted as well. Can anyone help? Pretty please??

Thanks in advance,
Jason

When it comes to the emu10k1 drivers on sourceforge, it appears you are
not alone:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=644751&group_id=44773&atid=440822

It appears that the cvs version of the emu10k1 driver may have some
Audigy 2 support. By now it could have complete support. I've opened a
Gentoo bug on this issue for you:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27529

Feel free to create a bugzilla account and add yourself to the cc list
for this bug (I think bugzilla should let you do that with no special
privs.)

Okay! Done it. Here's the script if anyone else is interested:

#!/bin/sh

MAILADDR="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
TMP1=`mktemp /tmp/mailcheck.XX`
TMP2=`mktemp /tmp/mailcheck.XX`

cat /dev/stdin > $TMP1
grep Date: $TMP1 | head -n 1 > $TMP2
grep From: $TMP1 | head -n 1 >> $TMP2
grep Subject: $TMP1 | head -n 1 >> $TMP2
cat $TMP2 | mail -s "Mail Notification" $MAILADDR
cat $TMP1

rm $TMP1
rm $TMP2


Piping the appropriate mail through it with procmail should do what I want. 
Now to test it in the real world...

Hmmm, I don't understand your script at all! But that's only because I don't 
know Perl. :-( That's alright though, coz I've got something that works. His 
a little bash script that does what I want:

#!/bin/sh
cat /dev/stdin > tmp1
grep Date: tmp1 > tmp2
grep From: tmp1 >> tmp2
grep Subject: tmp1 >> tmp2
cat tmp2 | mail -s "Mail Notification" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cat tmp1

The only problem with it is if two messages are being processed at the same 
time. And to put in the correct mail address... Anybody know how I can create 
a unique temp file from bash?

I don't have procmail on this computer, but I think I can give a rough
idea of what to do.  First, read the procmail man page about the flags.
You'll want to clone the message and process only the header.  If it's to
your girlfriend and not spam (with negative regexp for spamassassin header
line), then filter it.  The following script should work, though you
should doublecheck, as I haven't dealt much with multiline strings and
I've never sent mail from a perl script before.

#!/usr/bin/perl
$myemail = "";
$notify_subject = "New mail!";
$header = /^(From|Date|Subject)/;
open MAIL,"|mail -s $notify_subject $myemail";
print MAIL $header;
close MAIL;

Hi guys,

I posted this at gentoo-dev too - but I don't know where it actually goes.
a dev made this restriction - so this makes it belong on dev I think.

But on the other hand - I'm a user who wants to use it - not an official dev (only got 
a few ebuilds in the tree :)

I'm getting this when I try to emerge perl-tk:

Instead of just hitting enter at the boot prompt, use nofb. I had the

Re: [gentoo-user] HD back up

[Peter Ruskin]

Hi Stephen,

I obviously didn't make myself clear enough.

I have one disk dedicated to backups.

This is the backup script my-rsync, which I put in /usr/local/bin:
#==
#! /bin/bash
# /usr/local/bin/my-rsync
###
# Backup Script
###

BACKUP_TO=/mnt/backup
EXCLUDE=/usr/local/bin/rsync-exclude

echo "   Mounting boot partition..."
mount /boot -o ro
echo
echo "   Mounting backup disk..."
mount $BACKUP_TO
sleep 4
echo
echo "   Performing backup..."
echo
rsync --progress --delete -av --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE / \
$BACKUP_TO/rsync/

echo
echo "   Unmounting boot and backup partitions..."

/bin/umount -l /boot
/bin/umount -l $BACKUP_TO

echo
echo "   Spinning down backup disk..."
/sbin/hdparm -y /dev/hdc# spin down disk
#==

As root, I did:
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/my-rsync
...to make the script executable

In the script you'll see "EXCLUDE=/usr/local/bin/rsync-exclude".  This 
means that you list all the files you want to exclude from the backup 
in a file you create (I called mine rsync-exclude and put it in 
/usr/local/bin).  See `man rsync` for more information.

My /usr/local/bin/rsync-exclude looks like this:
#==
- /tmp/
- /var/lib/init.d/
- /mnt/backup/
- /mnt/cdrom/
- /mnt/floppy/
- /proc/
- /usr/portage/distfiles/
- /root/.ccache/
- /home/peter/.ccache/
#==

As Andrew Farmer suggested, you can use /etc/cron.daily to have it run 
automatically.  Before you do so, run it manually to make sure it works 
for you, altering the mountpoint ($BACKUP_TO) and /dev/hdc in the "spin 
down disk" part to suit your installation.  My /etc/fstab entry for 
$BACKUP_TO reads:
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/backup ext3 noauto,noatime,users 0 0
...so, like /boot, it's only mounted when needed.

When you are ready to add the backup script to cron.daily, become root 
and do:
cp /usr/local/bin/my-rsync /etc/cron.daily/

Hope this helps you.

Peter

Maybe you should add "noapic" to the booting line.

I also had strange issues with my Toshiba Satellite 2430 (P4-Notebook) with 
several kernels from Gentoo 1.4 or Knoppix 3.2. My self-made kernels were 
only working if "Local APIC support on uniprocessors" (CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC) 
was completely deactivated in the kernel config.

It can help when you try it with a Gentoo 1.2 Boot CD.

Best regards,
Christian

The graphical screen should appear as soon as initrd is finished loading. I'm 
not sure exactly what option you need to specify to turn off the framebuffer, 
but there should be help option somewhere in the boot menu. Find whatever 
says to use textmode and then try that. Also, I think it's turned off by 
default, but try acpi=off as well if you still have problems.

What actually happens is this:

Loading Gentoo...
Loading initrd...

Then the screen appears... And at what point should I have a graphical 
screen? The only thing I see is the boot prompt when the system starts and 
then the black screen...

I'd say to try without the framebuffer. Do you get a graphical screen at all? 
At what point does the black screen appear?

what kernel-sources are you using? did you make your kernel with 'genkernel'? 
 
i had once also a problem, that the kernel i did with 'genkernel' caused

[gentoo-user] basic Gentoo CD doesn't boot

[Nick Van Vlaenderen]

Hello,

I was going to install Gentoo on an AMD Duron 1000, but when I start 
booting, the boot prompt comes up... I hit enter and it starts loading. A 
few seconds later, a black screen appears. I tried the other kernel (smp) 
as well, but nothing happened. Can someone tell me what's wrong, or did 
someone else have this problem?

How old is the pentium? If its a pentium classic you need to set
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" instead of i686. If you don't you get the
problem you are describing. I made the same mistake on a K6 system.

Does it make a difference on whether you are starting X with or without 
your USB mouse present? I would think that X might have a problem as 
the mouse0 device does not always exist unless there is actually a

Does it also make a difference if you do not start gpm and comment out 
this section in your config? I'm not familiar with gpm usage, so it is 
just a suggestion to try and either narrow down the problem, or cancel 
this as a cause.

Also, have you had a look through X's log file? Anything interesting

Hi all,

as I know, I need to install mplayer in order to listen the music in some sites,
but do I really need it? I already have xmms and I don't want to fill my box
with programs that I'll (almost) never use. Furthermore mplayer brings a lot of
other stuff in emerging.
Can I use xmms with some setting to listen to that music.
I'm using mozilla and konqueror as brousers.

Thanks to everyone,

[gentoo-user] Procmail and mail "notification"

[Jason Stubbs]

Hello all,

I'm not too familiar with procmail, so I don't know if what I want to do is 
possible. I've only just started using it and thanks to Spider's guide have 
Spam-Assassin working with it correctly. Here's the current situation:

Me and my girlfriend have one computer - a laptop. I want to use it 24/7, she 
wants to use it just to check mail every so often. So, what I want to do is 
have procmail send details of any new messages that aren't spam to my 
girlfriend's mobile. That is, not the whole message, only the date/time, 
sender and subject - maybe a couple of lines like Spam-Assassin does for 
spam-mail as well.

My guess is that it is not directly possible with procmail. I'm guessing that 
I'd have to use some sort of script to pipe each e-mail message through. Any 
suggestions on how I could write such a script?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

What will be the standard content of

"rsync-exclude"

other than adding following

MAILTO=root
# do rsync backup nightly
0 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/my-rsync

What shall I change "my-rsync" to?

Thanks in advance.
