Re: [gentoo-user] Having 2 cablemodems?

2003-05-29 Thread Jesse Jacobs
Hello Keith,

It's called bridging, and should be transparent to the network, having
the briding code determine the best route. Although personally I would
seperate the services run on the devices.  ie. mail/web on one and a
gentoo rsync on the other :).

 Hi,

 I have 2 cable modems and I want to combine them together with
 Gentoo and have Gentoo manage packets between the two nic's and
 combine the bandwidth for the network.  Is this possible?

I would unpack a stage-1 or -2 tarball and copy the inhabitants of bin/ into 
/bin. If tar does not work anymore, I would boot from a livecd and do it from 
there.

After that I would settle back, waiting for errors, only remerge packages,

   # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -s samba?

 Because the 3.0-packages are not only in the untested branch (~x86),
 but have additionally been masked in
 /usr/portage/profile/package.mask. Until they are removed from that

 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86. You will therefore have to directly emerge
 the ebuild with complete path. However, packages that are in
 packages.mask are usually masked for a good reason.

No, this is not bridging. Bridging is using a computer to make two subnets 
look like one. Your internet providers will not be happy if you do that (if 
it actually works). You want something which is called load balancing. This 
should be possible.

Re: [gentoo-user] logwatch ebuild 4.2.1-r1

2003-05-29 Thread Mike Morrell
  I noticed the missing file too.  I upgraded to the latest ebuild and
crontab no longer complains.  But, I still get no output from logwatch
at all.  I have tried running logwatch.pl and having the results sent by
email or by sending it to stdout (using the options in
/etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf) but I get nothing.  Have you actually
tried running logwatch.pl to see if it does anything?


Mike

 I saw some discussion on this list about logwatch.
 That reminder me that I wanted to install it.
 So i did.

 So I submitted bug# 21812.  The problem is that root's crontab is
 updated with a reference to logwatch.pl in the /usr/sbin, and the script
 is not there, it IS in /usr/share/logwatch/scripts.

 This can be fixed by fixing root's crontab. Or...

 When I went to fix the ebuild, I noticed that this is fixed in the
 masked 4.3.2 ebuild. So you could just load that.  Although I searched
 for a bug for logwatch (and did not find one), I probably should have
 looked at newer ebuilds as well, before submitting...

 Sigh...

When you configure your kernel for building, you'll find a networking
option to enable that capability. Sorry, I don't remember the exact
details off the top of my head - but the help screen for that option
should include some pointers to documentation on how to use it.

Be aware that both parties to such connections have to know about it -
you can't point such a connection at an arbitrary host or router and
expect it to know how to consolidate the packets.

[gentoo-user] DMA for ide-scsi emulated cd drives

2003-05-29 Thread MAL
Hi ppl,

Anyone know how to set (and check), the various IDE features, such as 
DMA, for cd drives that are being emulated by the ide-scsi generic driver?

Normally i'd use hdparm on the /dev/ide/blahblah...
But once they are being governed by the ide-scsi driver, they appear in 
/dev/scsi/blahblah, and hdparm refuses to work on them.

A couple of possibilities that I thought up were:

(a) compile ide-scsi as a module and run hdparm on the ide versions of 
the devices, before insmoding the ide-scsi driver.  I'm assuming this 
won't work for various reasons.

(b) add the original device mappings to /dev via devfsd, and hdparm them.

Just wondering if there is a proper way before I go foddling.

[gentoo-user] Asus A7N8X (nforce2) lockups (help!)

2003-05-29 Thread Alan
Hi everyone.  I just got myself a a7n8x (dx, with the dual onboard nics)
and I am getting some hard lockups that I hope someone will be able to
help me with.

The first seems to be related to the network card.  I'm using the 3com 
port and loading the 3c59x driver.

To reproduce this I just have to start transfering a large amount of
data over the network.  I've been trying to scp a backup of my home
directory from another box on my local network and a few seconds in the
box will lock *hard*, no numlock/capslock leds, and a hard boot is
required.

The second seems to be to do with large amounts of disk activity (could
be the same as the above).  After the last hard lockup my root
(/dev/md0, a raid0 array of 2x10G partitions on two maxtor ide drives)
reached it's max reboot count and a check was forced.  About 40 seconds
in it locked up hard again, same as before.

I'm going to try moving my network to the nforce NIC and see if that
helps at all, but if fsck is broken as well...  

Anyway I rebooted onto a knoppix rescue CD and ran the fsck normally, and 
it appeared to work just fine (I had to leave for work before it was done,
but it was still chugging along a couple of minutes in).

Activities such as normal use, or compiling the kernel, or unmerging
lots of data (two copies of the devel kernel) didn't affect anything.

Software:
Gentoo 1.4, updated with stable, a few unstable packages (mozilla, etc).
Kernel 2.4.21-ac and 2.4.20-gaming-r3 (might be with vanilla as well,
don't remember).

Hardware:
Asus A7N8X DX (nforce chipset, nforce/3com onboard nic, onboard sound)
XP2500+ (Barton)
1G DDR333 in the dual speed config (slot 1,3)
Asus Geforce4 Ti4200
Generic CDRW, generic CD
2x Maxtor IDE drives (20G,10G) 


Please help!  This system is smokin' fast normally, but if I can't even
fsck it it's useless to me :(  Things seem to work fine in XP BTW, I
installed it in a dual boot config and installed fresh, and it went in,
and updated with the 800 windows updates just fine.

TIA

Thomas I don't think that will work as those proc locations should not exist
Thomas if you have not loaded those devices using the IDE module.

Of course they are. If your motherboard has an IDE bus, the proc interface
will be there, no matter if you load the ide-scsi modules. That's the beauty
;)

I use that (with the ide-scsi for my burner and ide-cd for my DVD) in my
desktop machine, and it works. I use it too in my laptop DVD/CD-RW combo, and
it works there too. I ask the exact same question some weeks ago, and someone
(sorry, forgot the name and wipe my mail account) give me the right answer.

The /proc IDE interface is there no matter what (I think at least you should
select CONFIG_IDE=y in the kernel config, but I suppose EVERYONE has
that... except those with a only-SCSI interface... but then again, if that's
your case you don't need ide-scsi :))

I don't know. I do know that, for all the things I use hdparm, I can use the
/proc interface; but I don't know if hdparm can do something that can't be
done with the /proc interface.

I'm still using /etc/conf.d/hdparm for my HD drives.

[gentoo-user] local IMAP server on gentoo

2003-05-29 Thread Michael Perry
Hi all-

Just finished building a gentoo box that I would like to put to use as
an internal IMAP server.  Ideally, I would like to run cyrus, fetchmail,
procmail, postfix on this box.  The setup would be to have fetchmail
poll my POP3 server and then deposit the mail into the IMAP user
accounts.  Has anyone seen a howto or friendly manual which goes over a
setup like this one?

I had kind of settled on cyrus imap because it seems like its the best
these days as far as configuration options go.  If there is another
which would be easier, I'm all for it :)

Thanks!

Re: [gentoo-user] Asus A7N8X (nforce2) lockups (help!)

I have a similar system to yours. The same motherbard, but a XP2400+ CPU. 1 
GB of 333MHz RAM just as you have, using the dual clocking. I am however 
not using any raid0 partitions.

I've not experienced any lookups and I just tested putting some load on the 
3Com nic. A steady flow of 8 megabytes per second for about 5 minutes was 
no problem. At the same time, I watched a movie with mplayer.

You might want to try the gentoo-sources for your kernel, thats what I'm 
using. If that doesn't help, it probably has something to do with your raid 
setup since that would be the major difference between our machines. I have 
a Promise Fasttrack TX2 with 4x80 GB on it in the box, but I only use them 
while I'm running WinXP.

 You might want to try the gentoo-sources for your kernel, thats what I'm 
 using. If that doesn't help, it probably has something to do with your raid 

I'll give that a shot.  Maybe it's something in the preemp or low

Another thing that might be causing it is heat (my office is pretty
warm), assuming you have lm_sensors set up what sort of heat output do
you have?

 setup since that would be the major difference between our machines. I have 
 a Promise Fasttrack TX2 with 4x80 GB on it in the box, but I only use them 
 while I'm running WinXP.

Strange, I have the same controller with 3x80 on it (for a file storage
raid5 array) that was being used only in linux before, but when I booted
up I was getting all sorts of lost interrupt messages and the boot
process just ground to a halt until I unplugged all the drives from the
card.  This was happening just doing the kernel probing on boot, before
trying to mount them or anything.  Maybe the kernel again  I moved
the drives over to my http/ftp server though, probably a better place

Do you think maybe you could send me your .config, just in case I have

[gentoo-user] devel kernel problems

2003-05-29 Thread Kurt Bechstein
I'm working on trying the development kernel 2.5.69 and after
configuring and doing a make modules_install I get a lot of unresolved
symbol error messages.  Anyone have an idea of what I could be doing
wrong here?  I'm running 1.4rc4 all stable packages.  Thanks in advance.

Please post your grub/lilo conf.
what's the name and model of your SCSI card?
What partition is your /boot drive?

 I have a SCACI Drive do I have to do some thing special? I tried both

Did you build the SCSI drivers and SCSI support into the 
kernel - if not it won't boot unless you make an init ram 
disk.

[gentoo-user] apache trouble

2003-05-29 Thread Martin Larsson
Hello

just installed this system, and earlier today i tried to install apache.
Installation went good, but I can't start it, and i really have no idea
why


# apachectl start
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

I did a strace on it, and it complains about no /var/run/apache.pid, but
i dont think its a permission problem, cause cron for example is capable
of creating cron.pid

The only thing i edited in apache.conf was changing Servername, so it
shouldnt be anything there either.

Anyone have any clue about whats causing this?

 Hi,
I'm bringing up a second machine here in my office. I'm slightly more
 Gentoo knowledgeable than 3 weeks ago when I did this the first time. This
 time I notice a message about a portage update being available and a
 recommendation to update portage before doing anything else. emerge -p
 portage says that it would install 2.0.48. (I didn't know to do an
emerge -p
 on my first install!)

Is updating portage the right thing to do? Any problems likely to
happen?

Waiting for a quick answer before moving forward.

 Thanks,

No actually, was going to ask if someone else had :)  I have seen some
stuff about it at forums.gentoo.org, but I really want to get this
problem out of the way before I go into there.  One of the suggestions
was simply to re-seat the cpu fan, which I might do when I get home, as
I saw in the bios that it was running about 45-50 (not hugely hot, but
not as low as it could be, hot office aside).

   a Promise Fasttrack TX2 with 4x80 GB on it in the box, but I only
   use them while I'm running WinXP.
 
 Strange, I have the same controller with 3x80 on it (for a file
  storage raid5 array) that was being used only in linux before, but
  when I booted up I was getting all sorts of lost interrupt
  messages and the boot process just ground to a halt until I
  unplugged all the drives from the card.  This was happening just
  doing the kernel probing on boot, before trying to mount them or
  anything.  Maybe the kernel again  I moved the drives over to
  my http/ftp server though, probably a better place for them
  anyway...

 I've not experienced any such problems. The only problem I
 encountered upon install was that when I choose a framebuffer mode
 the computer completely frooze but when I ran the installation in
 plain text mode, it ran fine and now with the gentoo-sources I can
 run framebuffer upon boot without any problems.

 Do you think maybe you could send me your .config, just in case I
  have some sort of strangeness going on that I missed?

 kernel config attached.

 TIA

 Andreas

RE: [gentoo-user] New machine - recommended to update portage?

 Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] New machine - recommended to update portage?


 if you check the updated howto it does say to emerge portage
 before a sync.

?
What 'updated howto'?
Please provide an address for me.
?
Until the emerge sync step below the only howto I know is the web page below
telling me to run 'emerge sync', and only after this step was complete did I
receive the message that it was 'recommended' to update portage.

Anyhow, I have updated portage. Now looking at config file changes, then on
to one more emerge sync and finishing the build.

Thanks,
Mark



From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml

9.Getting the Current Portage Tree using sync

Now, you will need to run emerge sync. This command tells Portage to
download the most recent copy of the Gentoo Linux Portage tree. The Portage
tree contains all the scripts (called ebuilds) used to build every package
under Gentoo Linux. Currently, we have ebuild scripts for close to 4000
packages. Once emerge sync completes, you will have a complete Portage tree
in /usr/portage.

Code listing 9.1: Updating Using sync

In menuconfig you can specify whether or not the SCSI is a 
module or built in.  When you built the kernel you had a 
list of options you could go through.  One was SCSI - 
check it out.

[gentoo-user] Trouble analyzing logfiles (problem with reiserfs?)

2003-05-29 Thread Kim Leandersson
Hello!

I have a problem and need some help. I have a backup server loaded with
drives. Both gentoo boxes and windows machines do backup against this
server so it's pretty important to us. When I look into the logfiles on
this backup server I found some lines which I can't understand. Any help
would be appreciated.

As you can see the lines start at the same time every day. I don't think
that it's something in my crontab which would cause this (emerge sync
and slocate).

[gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo, pcmcia wlan card problems

2003-05-29 Thread D.J. Bolderman
I'm trying to install Gentoo on my Dell laptop. I have a pcmcia wlan
card, which has an atmel chip onboard. This laptop is currently
running Debian, and works fine with the atmelwlandriver from
sourceforge. However, installing Gentoo gives me a hard time here.

The card is not detected during the bootprocess of Gentoo. I have the
source of the atmelwlandriver, but I cannot compile it until I have a
working system. And, ofcourse, Gentoo will not install without a
network connection...

Is there anybody who got a similar setup working ?

Thanks,
Dick

[gentoo-user] Proper updating of /etc config files

2003-05-29 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi,
   Trying to do this right. After updating portage, I have a message about 4
files that need to be updated. They all start with /etc/._conf.

   It appears that the proper way to do this update is to save the existing
config files, rename these 4 files to their respective names, and then hand
edit back in any settings I had made to the earlier files.

   Is this correct?

Re: [gentoo-user] Proper updating of /etc config files

2003-05-29 Thread David
There is a command: etc-update   it will run through it for you. There are 
several options you can select while running it. Like automerge, ask for 
confermation to delete old file,

I only watch out for stuff that I edit. Like /etc/group , /etc/make.conf ,...
Other stuff usually just let it merge them.  The stuff I watch out for I 
either don't let it do it, select to show the differences and make them 
myself, or if the differences are minor then let it do it. 

Till you get use to it I would not delete the old file.

   Hi. Thanks. That's helpful, if a bit scary. Brand new build. No backups.
etc-update looks like it will possibly overwrite my existing make.conf,
which is the only one I've edited so far, so I think I should back that one
up. Or should I use this -5 option and then handle it after the fact?

first time I did it: 
cope the file to a save location (like your homedir)
deal with etc-update
if everything is still running smoothly after a few days, delete the file.

etc-update is rather straightforward.

 first time I did it:

Yes, thanks Finne - that's basically what I did. What I found after the
etc-update step was that it really didn't read my current make.conf
settings at all. It just took the new file and replaced the old one with
it. So, I opened up my old one, put all the old CPU architecture stuff
back in by hand, and have gone forward. Thing seem OK so far.

Thanks for your help.

 Hi,

It appears that the proper way to do this update is to save the
existing
 config files, rename these 4 files to their respective names, and then
 hand edit back in any settings I had made to the earlier files.
 

Turn on menu support in etc-update by editing the /etc/etc-update.conf
file:
# mode - 0 for text, 1 for menu (support incomplete)
# note that you need dev-util/dialog installed
mode=1

It uses dialog to generate menus, works for me. There are a couple of
other diff programs out there that you can use in X, but for the
majority of stuff, I review the diffs in an x-session, if
it's something I have modified (postfix configurations, apache configs,
make.conf and so on) I open the existing file, let etc-update update the
file and make the changes right then on the new file as there are
usually some other changes and updates done by the developers.  I tried
the merge feature a couple of times, and haven't figured it out yet.

Re: [gentoo-user] Proper updating of /etc config files

2003-05-29 Thread Carlos C. Gonzalez
Hi Mark, 

Be VERY careful when telling etc-update to go ahead and upate things.  I 
messed up my system big time after I told etc-update to update everything 
automatically after an emerge -u system.  

Best policy is to definitely back up your /etc/  directory through a bash 
script or something BEFORE doing the update.  Then like someone said if 
everything runs okay for a while (I would give it a good week or two) you can 
assume things are okay.

AFAICD, scribus does not import pdf files or allow one to edit
existing pdfs.  What it can do is generate annotations in pdfs
that it creates, much as pdftex can.

PdfTeX does have support for importing (parts of) existing pdf
files (if using LaTeX you want pdfpages; ConTeXt also supports
importing (parts of) pdfs).  It can create jsut about anything
that the pdf spec support, encryption being the big exception.

There are numerous toolkits that can add annotations to pdfs.
itext; several perl and python modules; C libs.  Even php can
probably do it.  But these solutions all require some coding.

Careful though when using etc-update, after you make changes to files in
/etc/ some of the time it will overwrite  configuration files you spent
hours working on, this is one of the reasons why it's very, very, very,
very, very, very important that you make backups to /etc/ especially
before upgrading things like your http or mail server. You can always
check the difference between the old file and the new by typing:
#diff /etc/._conf.file.config /etc/file.config

you will get the diffences between the files, and a lot of the time the
diffences will only be a header, comments, or maybe a new option in the
file that you may not need. in that case I just do:
rm /etc/._*

Tab completion helps a lot when determinining what files need to be updated.

diff /etc/._[tab] file.conf

also running etc-update without making changes will tell you what sub
directories your file changes will occur. Your ._* files are in the
directories where the old file is. For example if you update apache you
will probably be prompted to overwrite, /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf and
/etc/apache/conf/commonapache.conf If you've spent as much time
configuring Apache as I have you definately don't want to loose these
files, and you probably don't need to change your config files unless
your updating from apache to apache2, in which case a new directory is
created in /etc/apache2.
I hope this helps and I didn't confuse you. Summary, just be careful
running etc-update after making significant system changes, and always
backup.
