[gentoo-user] Problems with USB-mouse

2003-02-23 Thread Erik Edelmann

Hi!

I'm having problems with my usb-mouse on my recently installed
gentoo 1.4_rc2 system.  

My first attempts to use the mouse were succesfull:
On the console, 'gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t imps2' worked well, and
in X, with the following in my /etc/X11/XF86Config

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver  "mouse"
Option "Protocol"  "IMPS/2"
Option "Device"   "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection

the mouse also worked as expected.  But the next time when I
booted the system, neither of the above worked at all.

Another problem (which might be related, I'm not sure), is that,
as the same time that the mouse stopped working, I've started to
get the message

modprobe: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than 
/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/modules.dep
modprobe: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than 
/lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r10/modules.dep

every time I boot the system.  Running depmod doesn't help.


Any helpful ideas would be appreciated

Update:  After I unplugged the mouse and plugged it in again,
it works again.  Problem solved.  Funny.

No, not funny at all ;o)=)
This or something similar cost me the whole night.

I also am in the process of setting up my new 1.4_rc2 system (hi,
gentooers!)

In doing so, I also installed a USB device for the first time: my mouse
(Logitech Wingman, in Debian I had it run as PS/2 with adapter)

I compiled, installed and inserted the modules (input, mousedev,
usb-uhci, hid; usb-core [CONFIG_USB] was already compiled into the
kernel), following the excellent Gentoo Desktop Configuration Guide.
Everything went well. So I, following the guide, put this into
/etc/modules.autoload:

usbmouse
mousedev
hid
input

(I don't know if this is the right order, but this is what the Desktop
guide seemed to say. The echo line given in listing 2.10 didn't make
sense to me and neither did it work)

Some time later I rebooted and the kernel hung, seemingly at "NET4: Unix
domain sockets", but still with a blinking cursor. Boot sequence up to
this point was eepro, agpart, usb, NET4, IP: Protocols, IP: Routing
table, TCP: Hash table, NET4: Unix domain sockets -> hang)

I then proceeded to boot with the Gentoo install disk, chrooted into my
installed system, emerged ck-sources, vanilla-sources,
lolo-sources-{r1,r2}, and tried to narrow down what happened with a lot
of different configs each.
As it turned out, when I removed the modules from modules.autoload and
unplugged the mouse, the kernel booted (sorry, don't know if unplugging
alone had worked too, had not the nerves for another try)

I now also have usb-core as a module, but don't know if this changes
anything, since I haven't rebooted since then (my nerves again :)

My MB is an Asus P4PE (Intel 845PE chipset, USB is UHCI)

Seems like a kernel prob to me. Although I found some USB-related hangs
on lkml, nothing was quite that. If somebody can confirm this or point
me to a config error on my side, I'd be grateful.

Cheers, M.

[gentoo-user] mozilla and phoenix woes

Hi,
I have both mozilla (1.2.1-r5) and phoenix (0.5). They work fine the

just stop working. They do not give me any error messages. They just

I can't really understand why would that happen. I use mozilla and phoenix for quite 
some time now and never had a similar problem. Try running them from xterm to see if 
they give any error messages there. Also remember if you tried to install any plugins 
in the few times that you launched these programs.

[gentoo-user] emerging docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.12

2003-02-23 Thread Brian Reichholf
i've just been emerging world and sadly enough can't get past a little
problem with the evil docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.12 package.

when working on the make files it just stops and exits in the relative
subdirectory: docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.12/doc/HTML as it's having problems
building api.html

it would work fine if i edit the Makefile in doc/ directory to exclude
the HTML subdirectory, but if i do so, and then re-emerge with:
emerge -u docbook-sgml-utils then it will just delete everything so far
and re-extract/re-compile which can be rather anoying :/

any experience with this problem?

the output of the relevant part looks like this:
--- begin code snippet ---

What do you mean by turning back to login screen? 'Login Denied' or does kdm 
restart?

I had the problem that /lib/security/pam_console.so was missing pam_get_item 
or thelike.

I found a similiar bug filed dor gdm in bugs.gentoo.org and the fix for this 
bug worked.

do : ldd -r /lib/security/pam_console.so and if it says some missing symbol 
then apply the fix:

#echo "/lib/libpam.so" >> /etc/ld.so.preload

If that was your problem
let me know and possible comment on the gdm bug 

Good Luck

Are you using any java plugins at all with either/both?  Thats the only
time I've had moz or phoenix hang and not wish to reload even before I
switched to gentoo...  If thats the case you will see java hanging
around and if you kill it the browser should restart ok.

i'm not sure but it seems that kdm restarts or something like that...
welll... the xserver is not restarting..
basicall i press the 'go' button, then the screen blinks once and then
i'm back at kdm... as if kdm started the session but it ended
immediately... something like that

thanks for the info... pam_get_item was missing , and i fixed it with

Try removing the file /usr/lib/mozilla/components/compreg.dat  and
chmoding the components directory to 444 I've had strangeness result 
from this file being written to by root.  It normally results in opening
galeon/mozilla and having it keep on opening windows, but this might be

[gentoo-user] transcode - compilation error

Hi all,

just tried to emerge transcode-0.6.3.20030116-r1 and got the following
error:

> subtitle2pgm.c:30: ppm.h: No such file or directory

I tried to switch off any compile-optimization - with the same result.
So I did a "ebuild compile" and inserted "#undef _HAVE_LIB_PPM_" to
subtitle2pgm.c (and also spudec.c) and then compile|compile|qmerge
worked.

I didn't report that to bugzilla yet because I'm not sure if everything
is ok with my settings. Which info do you need for telling me that?

Do my changes have any effect on functionality of transcode? 

Thanks in advance for any info

You can get the SVG plugin from Adobe or compile the SVG support with mozilla.

Actually, there's a note just above code listing 2.10 that says to not use
module "hid" and module "usbmouse" together (that they won't play well).
But code listing 2.10 puts both of them in your modules.autoload file. I
think I'll file a bug report about this one. I have no problems with my
USB mouse using just "hid" and "mousedev". I think "input" will get
automatically loaded as a dependency of "hid".

Mike,
Yes, I know that I can set this in bios, but... as I don't know which 
boxes are set up without this option, if I could shunt the keyboard 
connector, I wouldn't have to reboot the whole room. Nor would I need 
to drive 60 miles round trip to reboot.

Looking at  the keyboard pin-out, it uses only four lines:

keyboard clock, +5VDC, leyboard data and ground.

During the powerup sequence of your computer, you will notice that at 
one point your keyboard lights turn on and then off again.  Now I'm not 
sure if at this point in time if the kb sends anything to the computer 
(data) that varifies that there is a keyboard present or  if it just 
pulls the data line high/low.
I'm now using a usb kb and until the usb modules are loaded, linux 
reports no keyboard detected. I'll try pulling the data line hi/lo and 
see if this does report a kb and will post to this list(later this 
afternoon)

Re: [gentoo-user] maple 8

hi !
it's a problem with Linux/Linux/LinuxInstaller.bin

check 

http://www.maplesoft.com/support/Faqs/Maple8/Installation/10.shtml

the relevant content:

Copy the contents for a Linux installation from the Maple 8 CD to your local 
hard drive:


% cd /tmp
% mkdir maple8cd
% cd maple8cd
% cp -a /media/cdrom/Linux .
% cp /media/cdrom/installMapleLinuxSU .


Using a text editor, comment out "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL" found in line 1331 
of the LinuxInstaller.bin file located in /tmp/maple8cd/Linux/Linux as 
follows: 

#export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 

Save the modified script and start the installation: 


% cd ../..
% ./installMapleLinuxSU


After installation is complete, erase the CD-ROM copy from your local hard 
drive.



You can try also to change LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to your own kernel

   I've used Nautilus myself, though that is also overkill.  I couldn't get
the Adobe SVG plugin to work; it would crash Mozilla right away.  I believe
it's one of the 'compiled with different versions of GCC' sort of bugs, and
since the Adobe plugin is precompiled, there's not a lot you can do about
it.  the Bugzilla site simply suggests using a more recent Mozilla that has
SVG built in.

   One thing you might find (with the 'can generate a thumbnail, but not
open the image' issue), and a problem I had, is that an SVG image generated
for a web browser sometimes starts with something like:
   

   While I'm no expert on SVG or XML, I suspect the '100%' values are to
ensure the image starts off taking up the entire viewBox assigned to it in
the browser.  However, Nautilus at least doesn't pre-assign a viewBox size,
and thus can't handle the '100%' value.  To get some of these SVG images to
show up in Nautilus, I had to manually edit the XML to give real values to
the primary width and height variables (values I took from the 'viewBox'
declaration, so in this case I had 'width="2000" height="2000"').  I could
then view the image without trouble, though I had to zoom out to see most
of it.

[gentoo-user] Sound says it works, but it doesn't.

2003-02-23 Thread Steve Juranich

In all my years of installing and running linux, the most dreaded task 
of setting up a new system has been sound.  It seems like something is 
always "not quite right" and I have to beat my head against a wall (and 
rebuild the kernel a couple of times) to make it work.

This time (my first try with Gentoo) is really no exception.  The only 
thing different is that I've NEVER had this kind of problem before.  Any 
help offered is greatly appreciated.


I have one of those silly little via8366 on-board sound chips that, once 
configured, works quite well. The problem is getting everything 
configured.  This situation is a little strange in that it's not your 
typical "device not found" error or anything like that.

I am using the alsa drivers to get this sound working.  I installed the 
sound drivers, did the "modprobe"s recommended on the ALSA web page, ran 
'alsamixer' to turn the volumes up, made sure my speakers were on, I'm 
in the member of the audio group, and so on.

The thing is that now I'm able to play sound files (I don't get any 
system complaints), but I'm not getting anything from the speakers.  The 
volume on the speakers are turned up to their pre-gentoo levels, so 
everything should be okay.

This is the first time I've even heard of problems like this, so any 
help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Did you try to turn up all the mixer controls? Seems as if the labels
aren't always quite right: my Intel 8x0 onboard chip wants the surround
control turned up.
Also, did you hit "m" to unmute the channels?

This has happened to me a few times, and it is always a muting problem. It
isn't always clear how to unmute the right channel, but if you play around with
alsamixer enough you should get it eventually.

As I recall, the menu mode doesn't really work, so I'm a little
surpised you have it enabled. I submitted a patch
(, comment #19) which
includes a fully implemented dialog interface, but I haven't gotten any
feedback whatsoever on the status of it or whether it might get
included some day from a single gentoo developer.

There's also another patch that's been submitted
 which seems to provide
much of the same functionality (including the auto-merge stuff,
although seemingly not as integrated into Portage) which might actually
get included sometime soon.

Oh, it works for me, I use it since this text you mentioned is in 
etc-update.conf (according to Changelog since 19 Nov 2002).
I had only to emerge dev-util/dialog like it says in /etc/etc-update.conf.

Automerge functionality for trivial changes is also cool :-)

ERROR 404: Not Found, isn't this a HTML-Error Message?

When does this error occur? Could you send more from the output?

I tried it and orinoco-0.11b.tar.gz and pcmcia-cs-3.2.1.tar.gz is not found on 
my "local" server, so portage falls back to 
http://ozlabs.org/people/dgibson/dldwd/ and there it is.
