Re: [gentoo-user] mod_mp3 problem
Hmm. I've never had any problems emerging xmms, but you can try an older ebuild by looking in /usr/portage for the xmms ebuilds, and then doing the following: ebuild xmms-x.x.x.ebuild merge Where x.x.x is the version number. If xmms stable is having a problem, it might be a good idea to file a bug, unless someone else here has any ideas how to fix your problem.

[gentoo-user] Moving from Stage 2 to Stage 3 with RC3
Hey All, I got the network card thing working and now I'm stuck with my emerge system. Right now my USE options are "-X gtk -kde -gnome".

[gentoo-user] Alsa & software mixing
Hey peoples,
I want alsa to mix all inputs in software, (given that I doubt my SB
AWE32 supports hardware mixing).
This page:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php3?module=sbawe#why
under 'Software mixing', seems to think there is a 'dmix' 'PCM' device
declared in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf, which there quite clearly, is not.
Does anyone have the knowhow to get this functionality out of alsa. I
think they have gone for the way too complex for it's own good,
methodology of config files :)
Running:
aplay -Dplug:dmix
gives:
ALSA lib pcm.c:1814:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM dmix
aplay: main:462: audio open error: No such file or directory
quality.
Putting this in my ~/.asoundrc file:
pcm.test {
type dmix
ipc_key 1436# must be unique for all dmix plugins
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
}
}
.. then calling aplay with:
aplay -Dplug:test
gives:
ALSA lib dlmisc.c:109:(snd_dlsym_verify) unable to verify version for
symbol _snd_pcm_dmix_open
ALSA lib pcm.c:1788:(snd_pcm_open_conf) symbol _snd_pcm_dmix_open is not

[gentoo-user] GRUB hangs booting Adaptec 1200A IDE-RAID HD
Good-day all, I've just completed my second installation of Gentoo Linux, and this is my first post to the mailing list. All-in-all I'm very excited about this distro. I don't think I've ever had a cleaner installation. This installation was done on twin 30GB hard disks in a hardware mirrored configuration. The IDE raid card used is a cheap Adaptec 1200A which uses the HPT 370 chip. The primary drive is accessed as /dev/hde, where boot=/dev/hde1 and root=/dev/hde3. The files /dev/hdeX appear to be symlinks to /dev/ide/host2/bus2/target0/lun0/part1 and ../part3 respectively. I have CDROM drives on /dev/hda /dev/hdc. I assumed that I would be setting up grub on the boot partition of /dev/hde1, which seems like it should have been Grub> root (hd4,0) Grub> setup (hd4) The first grub command produced an error 21: Selected disk does not exist. The only one I could find that did not produce this error was (hd0,0) which I guess makes sense as it's really the only hard disk in the system, besides it's mirror. So then, what actually worked here was Grub> root(hd0,0) Grub> setup (hd0) My grub.conf is pretty much straight from the installation documentation default 0 timeout 10 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title=Welcome to Gentoo Linux root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/grub/bzImage root=/dev/hde3 ide-scsi=/dev/hda When trying to boot this array, grub hangs. (GRUB Loading Stage1.5. then GRUB loading, please wait...) and you can wait forever. I can boot the system from the boot diskette I created by issuing grub a kernel parameter and a boot command grub> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hde3 grub> boot Can anyone see what I'm not understanding? I'd really like this system to boot from the hard disk as I plan to setup a similar machine in the near future. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No need for this, Win4Lin has a mode that runs it's own X server. Type
fwin, at a console.
As for logging in as a user, you might be able to do something using
/etc/inittab
Yep, just create a /etc/init.d/ems script, (copy another in
/etc/init.d), start starts win4lin (fwin), which in turn starts your
prog, (via the windows startup menu, or Run section of the registry).
Don't forget to put the following section in your init.d script:
depend() {
need Win4Lin
}
And add your script to the default runlevel:
rc-update add ems default

Re: [gentoo-user] Open ports question
Ok, I tried again today. now nmap from a remote pc gives: Port State Service 22/tcp openssh 25/tcp filteredsmtp No more port 113! And what does the "filtered" mean? lsof|grep LISTEN gives: sshd 5586 root3u IPv4 7621 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) Which proves i'm not opening port 25 right? --- mikepolniak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 22:40 Thu 13 Mar , Pius Lee wrote: > > Hi, I recently used nmap to portscan my machine from another pc > and > > found that i've got the following ports open: > > > > 22 (ssh) > > 25 (smtp) > > 113 (pop-3) > > > > Now, I'm very sure that I only started the sshd daemon and I DON'T > even > > have an smtp/pop3/any kind of mail server installed. > > > > > > I don't see port 25 or 113 open, but why does nmap list them as > so? > > > Run lsof|grep LISTEN > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yup, starting portmap opens port 111/tcp. should i block this port using iptables? --- Spider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > begin quote > On Thu, 13 Mar 2003 22:40:25 +0800 > Pius Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > use "lsof -i" instead of nmap and you can know what it is that > does > what, instead of knowing something is open. > > but, "fam" (file alteration monitor) speeds up the listing of files > + > updates of them if you have KDE or Gnome, and that in turn starts > Portmap (the sunrpc client) > > > //Spider > > > > Hi, I recently used nmap to portscan my machine from another pc > and > > found that i've got the following ports open: > > > > 22 (ssh) > > 25 (smtp) > > 113 (pop-3) > > > > I don't see port 25 or 113 open, but why does nmap list them as > so? > > Blocking the ports with iptables would probably solve the problem, > but > > > > to get to the root of it, would tracking the daemons responsible > for > > opening them be a better solution?

Re: [gentoo-user] ack! cupsd has died a horrible and miserable death!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 is the cupsd process runing (ps -elf) check the network connection is there: netstat -apn -A inet inet6 should see somthing like : tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 22869/cupsd If it isn't started (no process exists) and the rc script still recons it has rm /mnt/.init/started/cupd and try again. try also executing the cupsd command on the command line as the rc-script would do it. you may see a few errors here. Alternately look in /var/log/cups for some nice error logs.

[gentoo-user] Maildrop problem :(
Hello, I have implemented the same mail system
that is described in the Gentoo Virtual Mailhosting System
Guide tuturial. And its working!
Now, I want to filter the mail messages in the server side with
procmail or maildrop.
I tested procmail, but i think procmail doesn´t support mysql.
So I tried maildrop, and it supports mysql. Maildrop delivers mail
suceffuly in my users, but when i make a rule to filter the mail he
gives me an error!
my .mailfilter file:
Code:
if ( /^To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ )
{
to "Maildir/.test"
}
the error:
Code:
cat 1047581881.770_260098.xpto.frew.org:2,S | maildrop -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
maildrop: Unable to create a dot-lock.
Can anyone give me any tips?
Thank you!

[gentoo-user] Alsa 0.9.1 + Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Hello, Has anyone tried Alsa 0.9.1 with Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and then managed to successfully get concurrent sound (5.1 or otherwise) **and** bass? The kernel driver has no concurrent sound and the previous versions of alsa have no bass. It would be nice to know if Alsa has finally provided both. Much appreciated. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Emerge sync warns: portage upgrade
Hello Since I'm still seeing messages about this highly elusive portage upgrade I thought I'd mention that I've already filed a bug and it has been fixed in a future version. To check progress please follow the link below. emerge sync warns wrongly of portage upgrade http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17316 Please don't begin tweaking your systems. It is just an issue of emerge sync not recognising masked status of new portage. With regards Dhruba Bandopadhyay -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
