  bah.  lucky bugger, I'm one of the people who have the issue of
  Synaptics support being detected, but not being there.  I had to
  remove Synaptics support from the kernel to make things work.  :-/
In the kernel I used there was no synaptics option, but there was in 
the mm-sources which I am not currently using.

What i did was set the mouse driver to "synaptics", the protocol to 
"event", and the device to "/dev/input/event0". This works like a charm.

cat /dev/input/eventX to find out which event interface to use. None of 
the mouse movements registered in the /dev/input/mice metadevice. Maybe 
the synaptics option fixes this, but why bother when this works 
perfectly fine.

Works fine here under 0.6 from source. At first it wasn't working
because javaplugin_oji.so wasn't in the right directory, but after
symlinking it from /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla to
/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins it works fine.
You might want to check your using the right .so file, That's the only
thing I can think of.

Your paths look the same as mine. I also have:
CLASSPATH=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/rt.jar:.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo as a server

2003-08-04 Thread Robert Bragg
> If you don't use the ~arch flag it's as stable, if not

This has niggled me for a while...
Are the ~arch flags intended to denote the stability of the ebuilds
or the stability of the packages? To me it makes more sence for them
to denote ebuild stability since software developers already have 
their own mechanisms for telling us which software they recomend as
stable (even and odd version numbers etc) and I think they should
know best about the software they wrote?

e.g. I was quite happy to find that mutts 1.5 branch ebuild has been
marked as stable (Their developer branch last time I looked) which
suggests that infact gentoo doesn't have a policy for marking stable
software, apart from the ebuilds themselves. (Somthing I would really
be happy with since I much appreciate being given a choice about 
what versions I run.)

Is this all clearly specified somewhere, if so can someone give a
pointer to the document, else should it be made more clear to people, 
since I guess their may be others who arn't sure how they should be 
inturpreted?

thanks,
Robert

[gentoo-user] problem with emerge world when using another /var/cache/edb/world

2003-08-04 Thread oom
As discused on a previous thread for rebuilding another gentoo box.. i
have done the following:

I may be a bit of a nitwit... 

Started with stage 3
emerged system and some other basic things.

copied make.conf and /var/cache/edb/world from another system, modified
make.conf to suit..

Now when I do emerge world -p instead of building the packages in the
world file it does this.. root # emerge world -p

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies   
*** Package in world file is not installed: app-text/spellutils
etc for each package in world file.

How do I force it to install things from the world file?



Thanks,

it makes perfect sense that it can't find the file there, because it's

Under other Linux distributions, these rcX.d directories are the 
locations for several startup scripts (for runlevel X). Under Gentoo, 
there are no such numbered runlevels, but named runlevels (for 
example "default").

So Gentoo's startup scripts are located unter

I haven't tried unreal-tournament-goty, but afaik no game is old enough that 
you get the full version. Even doom. My guess is that the ebuild is for the

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo as a server

2003-08-04 Thread Alec Berryman
Gentoo's version of stable and Debian's version of stable are
fundamentally different in that Debian's stable will not break the API
of an application on upgrade, while Gentoo will.  I just took down a
Gentoo server I haven't reinstalled in ages, and over its life I
remember Postfix updates especially being a pain because of config
changes from v1 to v2 and within v2.x.  So don't get me wrong and think
that Gentoo isn't stable enough for a server, just make sure you know
what you have in mind when you say stable - there's more to it than just
not crashing.

Possibly. Can you boot from the LiveCD and do the ifconfig eth0 there
as well?

That should help narrow it down further.

Having the wrong base address can indeed be enough to hose things; just
not yet ready to pronounce that as the culprit...yet.

There *is* a way to specify the base address to use for a module if
that's necessary, I believe -- but first, I want to make sure that this
is indeed the culprit before going that far.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo as a server

2003-08-04 Thread Cal Evans
It really is a personal decision as to whether or not it is stable enough.
 Personally, I have 8 servers including 2 firewalls running Gentoo without
a problem. (and 1 i-Opener just for fun)

Personally, I hope they don't do anything more than the ~* to
differentiate testing from production.  If I wanted a 'stable' release vs.
a non-stable release, I'd use Debian.

:) looks like a lot less errors :) so perhaps you were right about a

easy way to fix? e.g. without recompiling my entire kernel :) i rearly
compile kernels...i think this gentoo kernel was my second time :) i
will probably build a kernel for gentoo more thoroughly later on when i
have the patience. but until then, i would appreciate it, if i end up
needing to recompile part or all of my gentoo kernel, if you could be
specific, as i am not used to compiling kernels. im used to the quick
and easy compiles of gtk-gnutella, mplayer, etc :)

lastly, emerge -s ipchains said that neither ipchains nor

i use it here @home as a webserver/fileserver and even on a little pII 233, 
it's been wonderful.  @work i have a celeron 500 running apache, bind, nfs, 
samba, netatalk and rsyncd (for other gentoo desktop boxen).  while the load

see no reason why gentoo wouldn't support more users.

That method will only work if you are using maildirs but not if you 
are using mbox format.  It maybe easier to do the filtering 
directly in your mail client.

Hi,
   Very similar to Blackbox is fluxbox which I use very happily. 'emerge
fluxbox' and 10 minutes later you're running. It's very stable and very
simple. As my Linux usage is in the area of audio recording, I especially
appreciate that fluxbox runs very few processes by default.

   fluxbox provides 'the slit' which is a small area to place docking apps,
I can dock a number of things there, can auto hide them if I choose, etc.
It's nice, simple and fast.

   These simplified environments are far simpler and more stable that either
Gnome or KDE in my opinion. If you're looking for desktop icons you will
need to do some work. fluxbox operates primarily from a desktop drive mouse
based menu.

Good luck,
Mark

Just emerge blackbox.

Anything is faster and less resource consumptive than kde or gnome. 
Most wm's are quite stable.
go to /usr/portage/x11-wm and you will be astounded by the choices.
Some of the wm's I've used, and all are usable, are icewm, blackbox,
fluxbox, xfce.  I'm currently using xfce4, which is not available as an
ebuild yet (still beta or pre-beta).
Use google to look up these (and others) and try them out.

Yes, 'emerge blackbox'. Well, just about anything is going to be more 
stable and faster than a bloated desktop environment like GNOME or KDE. 
I'm currently using Fluxbox. I've used Enlightenment in the past. I like 
both. Just so you don't think me biased, I have used both GNOME and KDE.

Yes, this is possible. Run

As described in the openoffice ebuild, we have:

[gentoo-user] MozillaFirebird 0.61 java does not work

2003-08-04 Thread Collins Richey
I've been using the mozfb binary releases (now at 0.61).  I have the
compat libraries installed, and the usual plugins all work (shockwave,
realplayer, acrobat, etc.) but I can't get java to work.  mozfb shows
that the plugin is properly registered, but I get missing symbols
and a prompt to install java whenever I access certain web sites.

As you can see, I'm using blackdown.

JAVA_HOME=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1
JAVAC=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/bin/javac
JDK_HOME=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1

Has anyone got java working with mozfb?

What am I missing?

Re: [gentoo-user] Enabeling hyperthreading

2003-08-04 Thread Andrew Heberle
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Here is what I had to do:

1. Enable SMP and ACPI in the kernel.
2. Select Pentium 4 as the CPU type in the kernel (not sure if this is
really needed but can't hurt).
3. Enable Hyperthreading in the BIOS.
Please note that a CPU having the "ht" flag listed in /proc/cpuinfo
doesn't necessarily mean it actually supports Hyperthreading, my
P4Mobile based laptop shows the "ht" flag but does not support
Hyperthreading.
If all is well you should be able to reboot and play with your new
"dual" CPU system.

[gentoo-user] update all installed packages - emerge -uDpv world (don't work)

2003-08-04 Thread CrPy
Hi,

there are a concern, I like to have cleared and dicussed.

1. Why does
emerge -upv $(qpkg -I -nc) != emerge -uDpv world?
The first try to update all packages. All installed package are updated.
The second try to update all packages in world  'deep'. But the irst and the 
second are not the same. World 'deep' is less than $(qpkg -I -nc).

Where is my mistake, or is it a bug? BTW regenworld don't change anything

Subject: [gentoo-user] Realtek 8139 not detected at bootup

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Im trying to install gentoo on a new box for a m8.  While ive installed
gentoo 
many times previously, I havent come across this particular kind of
problem.

The box is a Shuttle sv24 with an on-board realtek 8139 NIC.  The LiveCD
[with 
no special options passed] detects the card on IRQ11 and uses the
8139too 
module quite happily.  The 2 USB hub's are also detected on the same
IRQ.

For the install, I selected both the realtek 8139too and 8139cp modules
just 
in case.  Unfortunately when booting the new install, gentoo doesnt say 
anything about eth0.  When I manually insmod the driver or attempt to
assign 
an IP to the device, it say's the device is unknown/not found.

Looking carefully at the dmesg output however, there is a section about 
conflicting devices on IRQ 11 [and it lists the usb drivers loaded], so
I 
tried disabled the usb hub in the bios [the keyb/mouse are ps2] but this

didnt seem to help.

The only other message that seemed to be of any relevance was 'ds: no
socket 
driver found' - but after carefully checking the kernel options to that
of 2 
other gentoo boxen I have, I cant see anything obvious which could be
causing 
the problem.

Like I said, I get the impression its an IRQ-level problem as opposed to
a 
driver-level problem, as the hardware isnt even detected, so how can a
driver 
talk to it?  For the record I have double and triple checked that the
'allow 
shared irq's' in menuconfig is checked :P

TIA :)

What is exactly your CPU référence ? i noticed that my Celeron 2ghz wich
is not HT capable has also the ht flag in /proc/cpuinfo

HT capable Pentium 4 are :
3.06 Ghz P4B ( FSP533 )
all the P4C ( FSB800 ) ( 2.4C 2.6C 2.8C 3C ( 3.2C ) )

So, since your motherboard is only FSB533 capable, to enable
hyperthreading you must have a P4 3.06 Ghz, and none other.

[gentoo-user] opengl-update borked

2003-08-04 Thread Sebastian Bergmann
  Hi,

  apparently [1] opengl-update is borked on my laptop.

  While OpenGL seems to work, at least glxinfo and glxgears do, I can't
  emerge packages that depend on it, for instance Blender.

  Any idea on how to fix this would be appreciated,
Sebastian

The solution is simply to remove the blocking packages:

$ emerge -C dev-perl/File-Spec dev-perl/Test-Simple

And then install the new Perl:

$ emerge -u perl

The files will be replaced with the files from the core Perl distribution.

The fix for this was covered in the previous? Gentoo weekly news letter - should be an
