[gentoo-user] [SOLVED] Re: device eth0 does not exist

2009-10-04 Thread Cinder
  Thanks for all the input. I have the network up again. I'm not exactly sure 
how. I've compiled the e1000 in the kernel. The only thing I've changed is this 
kernel option ...
Device Drivers -->
   Network Device Support -->
  Ethernet 10 0r 100Mbit -->
 EISA,VLB, PCI and onboard controllers <*>
I don't know if that's it, but I'm online again. I've been over menuconfig so 
many times I don't know which is up. Also, I apologise for my fragmented 
posting. I subscribed no-mail.


P.S. I may be arcane, but I don't wear panties:)

I think this is a typo.  The command should be emerge -auDvN world.  The
upper case V would only print the version of portage.  That should
therefore be a lower case v.

Nope. What you have to do is to set up the correct use flags for xine-lib
(dvd). All the dependencies will be pushed, you don't even have to
implicitly install libdvdcss. When a given use flag is changed portage will
detect and recompile all the required packages with a simple emerge -auDVN

[gentoo-user] Portage should rebuild kaffeine after libdvdcss installed?

2009-10-04 Thread daid kahl
Hello all,

I was getting some Japanese-bought DVDs to play correctly on my
laptop, and I found that I after I installed libdvdcss from portage,
portage did not think to rebuild kaffeine (or mplayer, etc), but that
was necessary to get full viewing functionality.

In the first case, I wonder if libdvdcss should be pulled in by the
dvd USE flag.  Secondly, I think portage ought to be smart enough to
know to rebuild programs in such a case.

It's no big thing of course, but I wonder if anyone else has thoughts on this.

daid

That's just one of the things I dislike about vi and all the vi clones out
there. To me it is like the difference between edit to live and live to
edit. It's a good editor and I respect people who like and use vi, but I
refuse to use it unless there's absolutely no other option.

It looks like a KDE4 version of kworldclock was around in early 4.0
days but has been removed due to the fact that it does not have a
maintainer/anyone working on it. You can see the most recent sources
(not touched in over a year) from here, maybe it might build against
newer KDE4 versions. Let us know if you succeed. :)

If you do "ifconfig -a" and it doesn't show any eth* interface, then it is a
kernel/driver/HW problem, not a udev problem - ifconfig gets the information
straight from the /proc (or is it /sys?) filesystem - direct from the
kernel, so udev is not involved - udev can only change the name of the
interface, not cause it to not show up.

Can you do a fresh boot, try modprobing e1000, and then send the output of
dmesg and uname -a?

[gentoo-user] Xorg upgrade problem

2009-10-04 Thread David Relson
Just upgraded X.Org X Server from 1.5.3 to 1.6.3.901 and all is not
well.

First problem noticed is that copy and paste in gnumeric isn't
working.  I used to be able to use the arrow keys to navigate, ctrl-c
to copy and ctrl-v to paste.  The paste operation isn't presently
working.  I rebuilt gnumeric, but it hasn't helped.

'cause of the gnumeric problem, I restarted X.  It worked -- sort of.

My screen resolution has dropped from 1280x1024 to 1024x768, which is
not sufficient. I'm using a minimal xorg.conf -- no video and no
screen details. My ASUS mobo has ATI Radeon X1200 support on it --
rather low end but totally adequate for my needs.

A few weeks ago I encountered a similar resolution problem after
restarting X.  That was solved after discovering I had both
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati and x11-drivers/ati-drivers installed.  I
removed ati-drivers and all was good (until this upgrade).

xrandr presently offers 1024x768 as maximum, which is the same as
Xorg.0.log indicates.

I have thoughts of downgrading to 1.5.3.  Any better suggestions?

Regards,

David

FWIW, I've attached the Xorg.0.log files for both 1.5.3 and 1.6.3

[gentoo-user] No /dev/dvd after updating to kernel 2.6.31-gentoo-r1

2009-10-04 Thread Christoph Schrauth
Hi,

after i updated my kernel to version 2.6.31-r1 (gentoo-sources) there is no 
device /dev/dvd.
Before updating the kernel there was a device /dev/dvd linked to /dev/sr0.

Which drivers / settings are required to enabel IDE CD-Rom devices?

-> Device Drivers
-> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
-> generic ATA/ATAPI disk support  Y
-> ATA disk support  Y
-> lagacy /proc/ide/ support  Y
-> AMD and nVidia IDE support  Y I use a nVidia 
chipset
-> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support   ?Do I need this?
-> SCSI device support
-> SCSI CDROM supportY
-> Enable vendor-specific extensions  Y


Thanks and best regards,
Christoph

You also need to set USERDIR in /etc/conf.d/apache2.

APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D INFO -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST -D LANGUAGE 
-D USERDIR"

[gentoo-user] No news today?

2009-10-04 Thread meino . cramer
Hi,

while emerging I was informed be this process about
some new news:

 * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.


So I did

solfire:/tmp>eselct news
zsh: command not found: eselct
solfire:/tmp>eselect news
Usage: eselect news  

Standard actions:
  help  Display help text
  usage Display usage information
  version   Display version information

Extra actions:
  count Display number of news items
new   Count unread news items (default)
all   Count all news items
  list  List news items
  purge Purge read news
  read ...Read news items
new   Read unread news items (default)
all   Read all news items
item  Number of item (from 'list' action)
--mboxOutput in mbox format
--raw Output in raw format
  unread ...  Mark read news items as unread again
all   Mark all news items as unread
item  Number of item (from 'list' action)
solfire:/tmp>eselect news all
!!! Error: Action all unknown
exiting
solfire:/tmp>eselect read new
!!! Error: Can't load module read

What did I wrong here? I reinstalled eselect just to get shure that
in a proper state, but it does not help.

I am older than 30, please help me crossing the road... ;)

Have a nice weekend!

[gentoo-user] Bootup drops back to console from kdm

2009-10-04 Thread Mick
It must be a year or so now with all different kernels.  On boot up kdm fires 
up, but within 5 seconds or so and while the use is busy entering their 
passwd on the kdm screen, it suddenly returns to the console.  Alt+F7 brings 
them back to their kdm, but this behaviour is clearly wrong.  I suspect that 
this is caused by dhcpcd getting an IP address, or vixie cron (the last two 
things shown on the console when the user gets dumped back on it) but I can't 
understand why these two services will cause such a problem on this machine, 
when other machines with the same services work fine.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this one?  I can't see anything amiss on 
dmesg, or messages/syslog.

Mick

Typically the directory would be owned by apache and the authentication on it 
will be controlled by the apache htpasswd mechanism.  In your case you will 
need to set:

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All

for each directory.  The ownership of the files is less important - they can 
be owned by any user/root/apache/etc... BUT the permissions on the directory 
must be such so that all can access (x) and read (r) what's in it.  I'm going 
from memory here, so you may need to try out things until you get it to work.

green: official (developer or project overlay)

red: you cannot use it because it uses a VCS you do not have installed.
