22 ofcourse :-/

the only problem i got was the permissions on the .ssh directory and the keys. If they 
are wrong you can not connect.

Re: [gentoo-user] Riva TNT & GL

2003-06-06 Thread mushis
Alexander,

Try "emerge nvidia-glx"
 
but first make sure that you have enabled MTTR support in your kernel,
rebuilt it and then rebooted.

There is a very good explanation of how to get the accelerated drivers for
nvidia working in the "Desktio Configuration Guide" which is on the gentoo
documentation home page.

Enjoy, I managed to get QuakeIII running on my dual pentium II 550, with a
Riva TNT and it is pretty impresssive under OpenGL, better than OpenGl in
windoze and that;s the truth!

I am told now that it will. However, in reading the man page for emerge, I
would not have guess that this was the purpose of the -e option.

> So will "emerge -ed world" be better?

I do not know. -d is 'debug'. Are you possibly thinking of --deep ? I
thought --deep was also specified as -D, but looking at the man page this
morning I'm not seeing that. Maybe the man page needs updating? More likely
I'm mistaken.

Yes. I've only done stage 3 installs so far and I'm able to compile

Does anyone have any experience with running Gentoo (or any other distro for 
that matter) on newer Compaq laptops?

I'm eying a replacement for my sucky Toshiba, and these seem to be the only 
reasonably priced laptops that will do greater than 1024x768. I haven't 
thoroughly researched though, so if anyone has suggestions, I'm open. I need

RE: [gentoo-user] SSH Problems

2003-06-06 Thread Kurt Bechstein
Possibly, the tcpd USE option is by default in your make.defaults
meaning it is in your global USE variable so unless you put -tcpd in
your USE link in /etc/make.conf sshd was compiled with tcp wrapper
support and yes then these files could be your problem.  That is unless
you have some sort of other firewall in place either at your system at
home or your work is filtering your outgoing traffic in some fashion. 
One quick way to test things would be to try and telnet to whichever
port you are running ssh on and see what happens.  I'm not sure if the
Windows telnet client supports that or not but it would worth a try.

The ssh client has a -v (verbose) option. Does putty have anything similar?
If so, did you try running your putty client in verbose mode?

The idea would be to detect if you get in contact with sshd, or if
firewalls are stopping you to contact your home server.

Paulo,
I had this problem too.  It came from not being careful enough with
the etc-update procedure after upgrading dhcp.  I believe that one
of the versions of dhcp overwrites the /etc/passwd and|or /etc/group
files.  This is _very_ bad.  Either, your root user got blown away,
or, more likely, you got kicked out of the wheel group in the
/etc/group file.  If you have a backup of /etc/group and /etc/passwd
I'd recommend finding the effected lines.

Re: [gentoo-user] cannot open root device

Thanks for all the suggestions, I finally got it to work. I took your
advice and did:

cat /proc/config > /mnt/gentoo/usr/src/linux/.config
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

It seems like the config you booted off with is likely to be a better
one than the default, so this is probably a safe step for any install.

Seems that not the dependencies but something in the sendmail script is
broken. If I understand this message right runscript.sh (that is the
interpreter for most/all initscripts) cannot retrieve the dependency
information from the sendmail script (I can be wrong of course).
It says that sendmail is started, but you report it as a problem, so I
take it that sendmail is not started? Or is your only problem the "Could

[gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory

Hi all,
is there any way I can mount two partitions (in two

I don't have a problem with my NICs, but with sendmails init script
which says that it can't find info on its dependencies.

RE: [gentoo-user] SSH Problems

2003-06-06 Thread Kurt Bechstein
Have you tried adjusting your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
files?  Is there anything being logged in /var/log/messages,
/var/log/secure, or /var/log/syslog?  Did you you compile sshd with the
tcpd USE option?

Thanks for the clarification =)
But the original problem still remains. Got any clues on why it says the
following as while trying to start sendmail through /etc/init.d/sendmail
# /etc/init.d/sendmail start
 * Could not get dependency info for "sendmail"!
 * Could not get dependency info for "sendmail"!
 * Starting sendmail...   [ ok ]

The only dependencies sendmail has (according to its depend()) is logger
and net. As I have both metalog and my NICs started I have problem
understanding the "warnings", and I _hate_ warnings!

It might be your ISP is blocking incoming port 80.  I've noticed a lot of ISPs 
have started doing that to enforce their 'no servers allowed' policies... i 
get 80 and 25 blocked on my cable modem provider:(..

They do provide net, it's not coded in the scripts but in
/sbin/runscript.sh IIRC. I think it is this way because multiple scripts
cannot provide the same dependency at the same time (e.g. multiple cron
or syslog daemons) but it's absolutely ok to have more than one NIC up.

It is fixed now (both libxslt and cracklib), and should be in the rsync
tree in ~10 minutes or so. Somebody else went and pushed it into stable
because of an upcoming GLSA, without checking on it first.
I've pushed both libxslt and cracklib into stable as well on x86 for it.

Hello Doug,

i have the same problem.
PHP 4.3.2 is recommended by php.net since there are several bugs in
4.3.1. So i guess that the the developers rashly put the 4.3.2 ebuild
in the stable tree. But the ebuild has still dependencies which are
from the unstable tree, e.g. libxslt, cracklib, etc.

Hope this will be fixed soon (if i am not wrong)

There is: /etc/init.d/net.eth0
(or maybe even .eth1 if you have several NICs)

Do this:
rc-update add net.eth0 default

and everything should work fine.

This should work:
1. Boot up from Live-cd
2. Mount and cdroot to your root-partition
3. Change passwd for root
4. Unmount and reboot

If this doesn't work something is seriously wrong.

[gentoo-user] Totem

2003-06-06 Thread Tim Oestreich
I got a couple of questions about Totem. I have it and
xine installed. Xine can play DVD's and audio CD's.
When I try to play them in Totem I get this error.

Totem could not play 'file:///home/tim/cda%3a/1'
Reason: Generic Error

Now on the net it can play the stuff from
www.shoutcast.com but when it tries to play real audio
or  ms video it will just sit there. Is there a plugin
I need to get them to work? I have RealPlayer 8 and
Mplayer and mplayer plugin installed. 

 I like the idea of Totem if it would work or is it
still in early development?

Too bad. In my case there is an extra on-board EIDE controller. I have 
the chipset one and the ATA-100 Promise controller. My issue was
caused (in some way I never determined) by this option about
booting from chipsets vs. other controllers first, just like Rex.
The Redhat kernel correctly handled my hardware while the kernel.org 
kernel did not.

Well, I'm tapped out, but I'll keep thinking.

Good luck.

I would like to ask one thing tho.

You have part1 as /boot and part2 as root.

But i have hda1 as /boot and part1 as root.

Where do you install grub?
is it hda's mbr?
or disc0's mbr?

if it is disc0 then how to you choose that disc?
did you choose in your BIOS to boot that disc first?

 I can boot with the liveCD. I can load the produles, ataraid and

 I follow the howto and do root=/dev/ataraid/d0p1
 My /boot is a seperate partition in hda1.

You've tried editing your ~/.Xdefaults and added these lines?:
# Begin .Xdefaults
Xcursor.size: 24 # Edit to your preference.
Xcursor.theme: whiteglass # Or redglass if that's what you want.
# End .Xdefaults

[gentoo-user] Cursor :(

I just upgraded to xfree-4.3.0-r2, and my redglass cursors are gone!  I can't 
even install another theme, such as tuxcursors 
(http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5359 ).

I've got a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/defaults/index.theme that has an

Well, in Gentoo, you have to add the LD_PATH to one of the files in 
"/etc/env.d", because Gentoo uses env-update to automatically regenerate 
ld.conf from the env.d files. I've had to add to the 00basic file the path to 
"/opt/zetagrid" when I installed it, for it to find the libs there, had the 
same problem trying to change ld.so.conf, but Gentoo overwrites it whe you do 
a ldconfig. So go to the env.d directory and add it in one of the files 
there, or make your own. Then run env-update, and you should be ready to go.

[gentoo-user] SSH Problems

2003-06-06 Thread Tracy LCpl Derek E
I just emerged openssh and configured sshd for protocol 2 only, X11
Forwarding, and to listen on port 80.  When at work (on a win2000 machine) I
try to connect to my home computer via ssh (using putty on the W-Box) and it
just quits nothing.  Then I try connecting to my home computer from my
hppa-linux machine at work using ssh and it gives me this after about a
minute: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

What gives can anyone give me some insight or point towards good
documentation setting up ssh?  I have tried the openssh website but didn't

nah.  I wouldn't think that this would be a problem.  Given that
the bootcd loads the drive as /dev/hda would tend to negate
my previous suggestion, anyway.

Did you specify the correct chipset when you were setting up
the kernel?  This is absolutely the last possibility I can
think of.

Hi all,

Is there a way to sync /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow?
there was no shadow file when I first set gentoo up and it added itself 
later some how, it complains sometimes that there is no entry in 
/etc/shadow for some users.

RE: [gentoo-user] Help with Promise RAID & Gentoo

Well my system is working :)

cat /proc/pci

.

Bus  0, device   9, function  0:
RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. 20268R (rev 2).
  IRQ 5.
  Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=4.Max Lat=18.

  I/O at 0xb400 [0xb40f].
  Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xf600 [0xf600].

Anyway i have 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 kernel and i compiled
with this options:

ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support  --->

  IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices  --->

So basicly i access my drives like if i used modeprobe pdcraid
on /dev/ataraid/disc0 (for the first array) ..disc1 for the second array.

What is the error that you are getting ?

Did you do anything special with the kernel?

Are any options you need to compile in. I mean i think i compiled

Rats!  This reminded me that I had the same problem at some point
because of multiple controllers.  I changed /dev/hda? to /dev/hde?
and things went just fine.  I think that it was loading the controller
card before the on-board controller.  Could this be a possibility?

[gentoo-user] Good ways to wine

2003-06-06 Thread Aaron Stout
Hi.

I have recently setup the stock version of wine and a small win98se
partition. In my fstab I made a little entry for users to mount the
win98 partition so they have read write permissions. I noticed that Wine
will once and a while move directories around giving them garbled names.
Thus making win98 pretty unstable until the garbled folders files are
moved back to their proper place.With the way I have things setup at the
moment. Many win32 applications have worked very well through Wine. But
I fear it will in the end tear up the actual Windows partition. To make
a long story short I would just like some good tips for setting up Wine
with an existing win98se partition if anyone has them. All i really want
to achieve is MS office. Games are no concern.

It's a total guess as I've seen something similar to this on Redhat,
although not with ext2 partitions. Is the 03:03 part a clue? Is that saying
something like it's looking for /dev/hdd? I might have expected it to say
00:03.

In my case it was getting confused about my specific EIDE controller on an
Asus A7V266 MB. To get around it I had to lie about what drive it was to get
it to boot and told it I was booting off of hdd. This only happened when we
built our own kernel from kernel.org. Redhat's sources managed to get it
right somehow.

If it is something like this, the clue will be a bit higher up in the
console while booting. Look at what drives it says it found. Does it see hda
or something else?

I could be completely wrong about this.

Best of luck,
Mark

Hi all,

I've tried to compile the kernel in my laptop with Pentium-4(gcc>31)

The interesting lines are:
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.

Freeing unused kernel memory: 116k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
I don't know if it matter but I've enabled framebuffer and when doing
lilo I get a message saying it doesn't recognize my video card or so.
Why can't it mount devfs. I've put nothing about it in fstab. Only
'Automaticly mount at boot time' option in the kernel is enabled. I've
followed the steps at the gentoo site.
Any ideas?
It sounds like you have the root= value wrong in your bootloader. This 
is mentioned in the install docs. It should point to your / partition, 
(not the partition containing /boot. it's an easy mistake to make)

For example, if your / partition was hda3, you would put root=/dev/hda3
The steps are different for lilo and grub, refer to the documentation.

Try a:
~#  grep REISERFS /usr/src/linux/.config

CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set
# CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set

you should see the first line =y ?  does yours match.  If it does then try 
this:

cd /usr/src/linux
mv .config /
make mrproper
mv /.config .
make dep bzImage modules modules_install
mount /boot
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

and reboot

The only working one I have at the moment is the liveCD. What's weird is
I've installed gentoo at least 2 other times on this exact same hardware
and never had this problem. Maybe I got a newer kernel source this time.

No.  -e will rebuild all things in world and all dependencies.  You seem

[gentoo-user] artsshell permissions (was Re: [gentoo-user] Laptop + Gentoo)

2003-06-06 Thread wes chow

So, I got it to work with a little hack.  Turns out that if I use OSS 
sound compiled into the kernel, I can suspend and resume, but artsd 
doesn't handle it very well.  If I run "artsshell suspend" to suspend 
artsd either before the suspend or after the resume, sound in kde resumes 
fine.  I put this into the /etc/apm/events.d directory.

Now, the hackish part is... artsshell only connects to arts if you run it 
as the user at the console.  It does not work as root, and apmd runs the 
suspend/resume scripts as root.  Does anybody know how to disable 
chekcking in artsd?  As it is, my script tries to figure out who's logged 
in at the console, performs an su, then runs artsshell.  I'm probably 
doing all sorts of naughty things security-wise.

I gave up using grub for this, and used (groan) lilo.  My /etc/fstab
looks like this:

My gut feeling is that the module didnt compile correctly, probably because of 
a missed-out make clean or make mrproper at the kernel compiling stage... 
without these lines the /urc/src/linux dir is still dirty from the last 
compile.

Try the following:

cp /usr/src/linux/.config /root
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean
make mrproper
make menuconfig
[ just save and exit ... this will recreate your .config file - as the 
'mrproper' stage just deleted it ;) ]
cp /root/.config ./
make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install

Then copy the bzImage file to /boot, point grub at it and try again :o)

For me maildir works better too. Except that I once needed to copy my maildir, 
but perhaps I should have it packed ;-)

I spent numerous hours last weekend trying to get gentoo to boot completely
from a promise raid also.  It saw the bood drive and started the kernel just
fine finally, but I could never get it past the root filesystem.  kernel
panic every time. tried both gentoo and ac sources etc.

I finally gave up, put everything on the regular ide channel, then mounted
the raide after the fact.

[gentoo-user] Init not found?

2003-06-06 Thread Paulo J. Matos
Hi all,

I've tried to compile the kernel in my laptop with Pentium-4(gcc>31)
enabled and after rebooting I get a kernel panic that it has nothing to
do with it, I think.
The interesting lines are:
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
mount_devfs_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err: -2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 116k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

I don't know if it matter but I've enabled framebuffer and when doing
lilo I get a message saying it doesn't recognize my video card or so.
Why can't it mount devfs. I've put nothing about it in fstab. Only
'Automaticly mount at boot time' option in the kernel is enabled. I've
followed the steps at the gentoo site.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Paulo J. Matos

no, use init=/bin/sash instead..  /bin/sh is dynamically linked. sash is
statically linked..  not important in this case, but generally a safer
bet in case of system hosage ;)

[gentoo-user] wierd problem with unicode

2003-06-06 Thread Spundun Bhatt
Hi, 
I installed indlinux (not supported by gentoo yet) for indian language
support some 3 weeks back, for a week or so it worked great, I was able
to type in scripts like hindi and gujarati, but about 2 weeks back
suddenly I have started having problems. I can still use the scripts
with gedit and gaim but I cannot use it in the file save/open dialog
boxes. I had named files in unicode but I canonot see them now in the
open file dialog box of gedit. In the save dialog box I cannot type the
filename in these indian scripts. I can still see the filenames
perfectly fine in nautilus(of the files I had named before this problem
started). And I can open them through nautilus also, the contents of the
file , I can modify in unicode through gedit file, but only the
filenames are causing this problem. I must have reinstalled something to
have had this problem.
Anybody has anyidea whats wrong?
Thanx a lot
Spundun

Re: [gentoo-user] how to start wm from console

2003-06-06 Thread Joel Brauer
If you want kde to be your default wm, then make sure there is a startup
script in /etc/X11/Sessions.  Probably something like kde-3.1.2.  Then
in your /etc/rc.conf file set XSESSION=kde-3.1.2 or whatever script you
want to be run from the /etc/X11/Sessions dir. Make sure you don't have
a .xinitrc in your home dir, because it supercedes all other methods.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

How can I start my favorite wm (KDE) from the console after login as a second 
user. My SuSE command: WINDOWMANAGER=kde3; startx -- :1
doesn't seem to work. With it I end up in twm instead.

Although, it is not "wrong" to reject qmail on philosophical grounds.  A
serious Free software person might wish to do that, but I do see
this done a lot and then passed off as a technical failing.

[gentoo-user] Help with Promise RAID & Gentoo

2003-06-06 Thread MooktaKiNG
OK. this is the most frustrating thing i've ever had with Gentoo.

I can boot with the liveCD. I can load the produles, ataraid and
pdcraid. it does work. I install successfully. Then i install Grub.
I follow the howto and do root=/dev/ataraid/d0p1
My /boot is a seperate partition in hda1.

But it just doesn't boot.

Grub does not know what /dev/ataraid/d0p1 is. To it it doesn't work.

My hd's are:

hda= 40Gb HD use it for this and that. /boot is loacted here.
hdb= My backup HD and i also usually have swap here
hde & hdg= Raid striping. each is a 20Gb ATA100 drives.

In BIOS hda is the first to boot.

My raid is partitioned:

hda1 is /boot
disc0/part1 as root
disc0/part5 is swap

I know a LOT of people have got this working.

I tried everything that i found in gentoo's forum
Without any luck.

Its just Grub. thats whats making me very angry.

I also have WinXP in hda2, and i might install WinXP in disc0/part2
if i can get grub to boot it.

Any help will be appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] Compiling gentoo-sources-2.4.20-rc5

I'd suggest going with Pentium3(gcc>31) until gcc 3.3 becomes standard and
unmasked. ;)
