Added the line "virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/vanilla-sources " to
/var/cache/edb/virtuals fixes the problem

eth0 is just a pci nic on the laptop, something interesting though, if I
plug in the ethernet cable to it I can ping the router and my other pc
but still not the outside world.

I set the default gateway for eth1 too, "gateway="eth0/192.168.1.1", but
this must be wrong since if I stop eth1 I can't go to any website.

Re: [gentoo-user] Silicon Image SIL680-RAID card

2003-09-01 Thread William Kenworthy
Ive just installed one of these, as an ide only (jumper)  with a cdrom
on it.  Works sorta OK, but insists on being hda, shoving the
motherboard (softraid) ide up to hde/hdg and refusing to give a /dev/hda
node.

Its only a winraid cripple so use software raid to drive it unless dual
booting.

Should drive 4 drives as master/slave, but you really need 4 masters
from everything Ive read.

Well, here's how I ended up doing it, but right now I forget where the idea
came from (this is from my tcsh .alias file):
alias   aoeu'setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc101 -layout us'
alias   asdf'setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc101 -layout dvorak'

One word of warning for long-term QWERTY users... it is SLOW.
I'm basically back to hunt and peck, but slower 'cause the keys are in
the wrong place!

Thanks for all the help, everyone!  Eventually I'll get it working in the

The problem here is you have to define a "line".  A line of email can have
up to 1000 (I think) characters.  Postfix will split the line at 990
characters by default.  And then there's all the extra information added
by using HTML.

What is the output of 'route -n'?  Also, since this is eth1, I'm assuming
you also have an eth0 configured.  Does that also have a default gateway?

[gentoo-user] problem pinging

2003-09-01 Thread Tom Hosiawa
After switch my home network from dhcp to static ip addresses, I just
noticed I can't ping anything; although I can still goto any website and
send this email.

I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 router with two computers behind it, on this
gentoo laptop I have my wireless card setup as such:
iface_eth1="192.168.1.4 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
gateway="eth1/192.168.1.1


If I try something like this, ping tsn.ca I get:
PING tsn.ca (199.246.67.211) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- tsn.ca ping statistics ---
72 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 71011ms I
get:


or ping 192.168.1.2 (the other pc on the lan), I get:

I get same result as above for pinging the router. Did I miss something

Sablotron depends on dev-perl/XML-Parser, which provides XML/Parser.pm. So I'm 
not sure why it can't be found.
Where is XML/Parser.pm on your system, and what version of perl do you have 
installed?

hmmm... will this work?! for me it did not work! i have tried a 'DawiControl' 
RAID-Controller which uses the SIL0860 chip. one time gentoo live cd detects 
it correctly and loads 'ataraid' and 'silraid', but neither a raid0 nor a 
raid1 array were detected correctly. the other times the livecd did not detect 
the card and manually loading the modules did not work! it seems that the sil- 
module is in an early state and not working well. 
 
further i have noticed, that the card claims to be ide0 and any linux 
installed on a hd that is connected to the onboard ide ports will no more 
boot correctly, because the names of the partition will also shift from hda, 
hdb,  whatever... to others... so your root-partition changes and will 
not be mounted correctly... 
 
a highpoint card will work well... (will be detected correctly, does detect 
raid-arrays and does not claim to be ide0) 
 
maybe you have a different experiences, ... so let me know! 
 
much fun,

I don't think you can do that Ernie - I would get rid of that file.

If you just want the summary you can try losing the "--progress" switch 
on the rsync command line.  I know it's tedious, but wade though `man 
rsync`.  It's worth the effort; I think it's an excellent tool, great 
for saving bandwidth, invented (I think) by the same clever Aussie who

As far as the log is concerned, I just put:

Try this:

Unless you have something wierd going on, it should work.  ifconfig
tends to be picky about having the device as the first parameter.

[gentoo-user] missing grp-install.sh script on livecd-1

2003-09-01 Thread Steven
Hello everyone:

If anyone knows how to effect a successful GRP installation, I could
sure use a hand.

I was able to get as far as the part where the instructions state that
I need to run a /GRP/grp-install.sh script. Only to find that the file is
missing. Of course the first thing I checked was to see whether I had
the cd mounted properly. I did. The "All" directory is there with all of
the precompiled packages waiting for the script to be run.

I submitted this as a bug. If anyone can help in the meantime, I'd
sure appreciate it.

Thanks in advance to all who even took the moment to read this.

Sincerely,

Steven

That wasn't what I was thinking, but yes, it is the problem, I'm sure.
There will be something you've got installed which depends on virtual/
linux-sources as portage believes you don't have anything installed which 
provides it, it's picking something.

You can add the line you need yourself, just like the rest. Note the extra 
space(s) on the end of each line, don't know if it matters, but suspect it's 
to make the code easier or something.

rsync.conf is for the daemon. The daemon generally listens for connections, 
and sends files out. Should really be split into 2 binaries, rsync and 
rsyncd.
I haven't followed this thread fully, but I understand you are in fact 
transferring the files over ssh. This is what I have always had to do when 
using rsync in this manner.

Theres no mention of gentoo-sources in /var/cache/edb/virtuals, or

I got that same error the first time I ran the script. since then (3 
more times) I haven't seen it

I see Peter in there and I just GOT to pick his brain some more.
I'd like rsync to log some basic information such as  the summary I see 
at the end, time started and time ended, but not all the file lists I 
see scrolling by. I have written a file, saved as /etc/rsyncd.conf on 
both the client and host, that has the single line:
log file = /var/log/rsync.log
on both machines there is no rsync.log being written. IIUC, the log

is the destination of the backup. But:

$ tail /var/log/rsync.log

If you don't need the color output use the "-nc" or "--no-color" switch.

First, emerge gentoolkit. This is a "Collection of unofficial administration 
scripts for Gentoo". The script you need is qpkg.
(a) qpkg -I
(b) qpkg -f 

Also you can emerge epm. It is a "rpm workalike for Gentoo Linux".

There's a nice tool, "epm", that provides an rpm-like interface for us
unreconstructed rpm users. If you install that ("emerge epm"), you can
get a list of installed packages with:

  epm -qa

or identify which ebuild provides a file with:

  epm -qf somefile

It doesn't provide all rpm capabilities, but I find it awfully handy.

[gentoo-user] How to determine what installed...

2003-09-01 Thread Ben Kennedy
Hello all,

This must be an obscenely rudimentary question, but I can't find the answer:

How can I determine a) which ebuilds I have currently installed, and b)
which of them provided a given object/file/directory?

For example... /usr/sbin/sendmail exists on my system.  I want to know
which package provided that.  In particular, I want to install courier-
mta.  So I would like to first figure out who put sendmail there, and
unmerge that package if appropriate.

In essence, my questions are how to do the gentoo equivalents of 'rpm -
qa' and 'rpm -q --whatprovides somefile'.

thanks,

-ben

thanks for your hint. 
I tried to remove everything in portage except profiles, ans rm claimed about 
a non existing not removed file in dev-tex.
So I unmounted /usr/portage, reiserfscheck that some corruption occured that 
would be only correctable with --rebuild-tree. And that was true. It showed a 
lot of permission&other errors and put it into Lost&Found-I removed it and 
did an rsync. Everything went fine.

This problem was solved by recompiling the kernel, the modules and
re-installing the moduels (all this, just in case) and latter by recompiling
iptables (no need to compile the modules inside the kernel).
Thanks.

I get that all the time - it's probably nothing to worry about.  If you 
look at _all_ the output instead of just the end you'll probably see 
what the problem is.  

rsync starts by listing all the files it's going to backup.  Then when 
it gets to actually do them, they may no longer be there to be backed 
up.  If you're emerging at the time, ccache files do this disappearing 
act, as do cache files for Pan newsreader.

no point to making them modules if the rules will always be active.

Often the ownership or permissions are wrong. For example, if you're running 
rsync as a regular user and some files/directories are owned by root, or the 
permissions are bad.

Yes the settings stay

mtrr is enabled , but where must i see if xvi enabled
In a console, under X, type 'xvinfo'. If you get a page or 2 of stuff, 
Xv is enabled.

I think my BIOS doesn't have that option... (it is an Asus A7N8X Deluxe), 
maybe I should try updating it to see if it is included.

You might try checking /var/cache/edb/virtuals.
I think I remember having a similar problem, and it turned out that portage, 
at some point, had left gentoo-sources in virtual/linux-sources.

I'm guessing you've emerged gentoo-sources at some time in the past? If so, emerge 
wants to install a newer version because of a security flaw in 2.4.20-r5 and below. 
emerge isn't smart enough to realise that you're not actually *using* gentoo-sources

It does. I can work in grub with my USB keyboard (fairly normal keyboard, few 
extra buttons that don't do anything), with USB mouse plugged into it.

The computer turns on and off, runs KDE, logs in and out, and reboots without 
error. My Mum and brother use it, neither are IT literate and have no 
problems so it must work well :) Sorry I can't be of any more use.

[gentoo-user] emerge wanting to install gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6

2003-09-01 Thread Adam Mercer
Hi

For the past couple of days whenever I do an "emerge -Uup --deep world",
emerge wants to install gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6. I've already got
vanilla-sources-2.4.22 installed and injecting gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6
doesn't effect anything.

Any idea why emerge wants to install this package?

NO!  that will pretty much negate the use of a firewall alltogether!  where 
are you droping/rejecting packets?  basically your script says this:

accept everything incoming
accept everything outgoing
accept everything forwarding
forward all traffic from ppp0 to eth0
nat your internal lan to eth0
accept all established or related packets
accept all incoming packets from the internal lan
accept all incoming connections from any ip, on any interface on ports 22, 25, 
and 80.
drop everything else that's incoming.

i can't be sure that you can reset the policy like that, but i can assure you 
that the aboe rules are in now way secure.
Here is a little background on my network. ppp0 is NOT an internet 
connection. It is an incoming dial-up connection used only by ME. I 
trust myself :) As for the actual internet connection, I have a router 
with an IP of 192.168.254.1 hooked to a T1 set to forward all incoming 
traffic to this particular box. This box only acts as a router for my 
own PPP connection. All boxes in the LAN use the router. So, what I am 
doing, if I understand iptables half as well as I think I do, is 
forwarding all traffic from my INTERNAL ppp0 interface out to the 
LAN/internet, allowing any box inside the LAN to connect to this box on 
any port, only allowing connections from outside the LAN to be made to 
ports 22, 25, and 80, and allowing in any traffic from outside the LAN 
that is part of an already established connection. Am I correct?

[gentoo-user] keyboard from hell (Logitech Elite Duo)

2003-09-01 Thread Pupeno
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello Gentooers.
I've bought a Logitech Elite Duo which comes with a Logitech Cordless Elite 
Keyboard and a Logitech Cordless MX700 mouse.
It's all USB and they all work with only one USB plug...
I've been having crashes and I didn't know what was till today... it was the 
keyboard/mouse.
I was using, both of them, with USB to PS/2 adaptors because I can't type on 
GRUB with an USB keyboard (is that posible ?).
In one of the crashes (it was while running off the computer for the KDE's log 
out dialog), I unplugged the keyboard and the computer un-freezed and turn 
off correctly... so, I decided to test it as USB... doing the same, the 
computer freezed but unplugging the keyboard wasn't enough, I plugged in 
another keyboard, a (real) PS/2, pressed ctrl+alt+del and it rebooted 
correctly.
Any idea of what might be wrong ? or what may I do ?
NOTE: since this keyboard is complex, it sends lot's of weird 'commands', I 
remember with another distro, the kernel complained about not-handled 
keyboard keypress number I-don't-remember-the-number or something like that.

I used a known good (worked before) stage1-x86-1.4_rc4.tar.bz2 on a

had set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in /etc/make.conf when I tried to 
bootstrap, but I'm currently running that way on my current system with 
no issues. If I have to, I'll download another Stage 1 tarball, but I'm 
on a 33.6 dial-up, so I'd prefer not to have to do that. Any suggestions?

NO!  that will pretty much negate the use of a firewall alltogether!  where 
are you droping/rejecting packets?  basically your script says this:

accept everything incoming
accept everything outgoing
accept everything forwarding
forward all traffic from ppp0 to eth0
nat your internal lan to eth0
accept all established or related packets
accept all incoming packets from the internal lan
accept all incoming connections from any ip, on any interface on ports 22, 25, 
and 80.
drop everything else that's incoming.

i can't be sure that you can reset the policy like that, but i can assure you 
that the aboe rules are in now way secure.

Unfortunately you do not specify explicitly the steps you have taken to

and
   # /etc/init.d/courier-imapd start

Alternatively, have you added them to the default run-level. What does

If you search Freshmeat for "courier" you will find a number of 
web-based front-ends for managing courier-imap (and other mail

Thanks for the message Michael. You're right, using /server doesn't work, I

Yes, thats exactly what it looks like is happening. Except I don't think thats 
the case. Enabling ident doesn't help, and not surprising since the servers 
that I'm trying to connect to I can connect with Irssi and my eggdrop without 
ident being enabled. From all appearances it looks like BitchX isn't waiting 
long enough to establish the connection before giving up. I have checked the 
BitchX CONNECT_TIMEOUT variable and its set to 30, but it doesn't wait that 
long. It disconnects after approximately 1 second.

Very strange. For now I have given up on it unless someone can shed some light 
on this... :)

[gentoo-user] grub

2003-09-01 Thread Ben Anderson
Hello,
My Bios is booting my second hard drive, which is gentoo.  My first hard 
drive contains Windows(ugh), but I can't seem to get grub to boot it.  
Here's my grub.conf

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
hdc=ide-scsi
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb3
title=Windows XP
root (hd1,0)
chainloader +1
it took me a while to figure out that grub considers my hdb hd0.  I thought 
it would be hd1.  So what would that make hda ?  I tried hd1 and hd0, but 
neiter seem to work.  I read on grubs' page about this map stuff:
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
I tried sticking it in there, but it didn't seem to work either.
TIA,
Ben Anderson

Re: [gentoo-user] multiple snd cards

2003-09-01 Thread Simon Mushi
Hey Rick,

Where is your Linux spirit! Where there is a will there is a wayif you
have time of course.the alsa documentation explicity talks about
having multiple sound cards and multiple dsp devices and so
forthanother post to this thread showed how it has worked in
practice

True that pro-audio support is not mature and that some of the mixing
software that you find abound in windoze world is not mirrored in such a
polished form in linux ...but a program that I have just begun to use
called bpmdj shows some promise in feeding two cards. So all i think i
need to do know is hit that ens-137x with the right driver and it should
be all good.

Cheers will keep y'all posted

If it does, sounds like a bug.

- From about version 2 of cdrtools there is NO NEED FOR IDE-SCSI EMULATION!

I have k3b running on a ~x86 box (cdrtools v2.01_alpha18 verses v2.01_alpha14 
for stable).
Make sure you've run k3bsetup, then if k3b itself still doesn't detect it add 
the device manually (find out where /dev/{cdrom,cdrw} points to ultimately, 
it'll be /dev/ide/...). Sometimes mine will detect it properly, sometimes it 
won't. But k3bsetup (and cdbakeoven) find it everytime, weird.

if this is the same problem i had, i'll bet you didn't include ide-scsi in

heh, already ahead of you, i tried that too and got the same result.  i did 
however run kpilotDaemon from the command linek, and since i compiled it with

Re: [gentoo-user] PERL and 'mail notification'

2003-09-01 Thread Jason Stubbs
Well,


Background: I'm writing a script to send a notification mail to an e-mail 
address based on an incoming mail. I'm using procmail to decide which 
messages should be notified about and to pipe them one by one into said 
script.


[edit]I wish I could perform edits like in the forums ;-)[/edit]


Here's what I've got so far. It mostly works but a couple of things left to 
do. Obviously, I still have to send the notification mail out. I'll try to do 
that in Perl but will probably end up using mailx so I don't have to bother 
with the mail headers. I also have to detect whether there are several MIME 
sections and deal with that - if there's a plain text one grab that else use 
the html. Those things I should be able to do by myself.


#!/usr/bin/perl

use Mail::Internet;
use HTML::Parser;

$mail = Mail::Internet->new(*STDIN);
$mail_head = $mail->head();

$msg_date = $mail_head->get("Date");
$msg_from = $mail_head->get("From");
$msg_subj = $mail_head->get("Subject");

$mail->tidy_body();
$mail_body_ref = $mail->body();
@mail_body = @$mail_body_ref;

@body_text = "";
$body_pars = HTML::Parser->new(
text_h => [sub
{
$text = shift;
if ($text =~ /[0-9a-zA-Z]/) {
@body_text = (@body_text, $text);
}
}, 'dtext']);
foreach (@mail_body) {
$body_pars->parse("$_\n");
}
$body_pars->eof();

$ntfy_head = Mail::Header->new();
$ntfy_head->add("From:", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$ntfy_head->add("To:", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$ntfy_head->add("Subject:", "Mail Notification");

$ntfy = Mail::Internet->new(Header => $ntfy_head);

@ntfy_mail = ("Date:   $msg_date",
  "From:   $msg_from",
  "Subject:$msg_subj",
  "\n", @body_text[1..5], "\n");

$ntfy->body(@ntfy_mail);

$ntfy->print();


What I am having problems with is getting around a known bug in HTML::Parser. 
It doesn't deal with embedded style sheets in HTML (or however they're 
correctly termed). Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can get around 
that? The mail I was using to test the script was a "Core Java Technologies 
Newsletter" but running any mail with embedded HTML that uses an embedded 
style sheet will show up what I mean.

The only other thing which I haven't had time to really check into yet - too 
much time spent reading man pages! - is that it seems 1 element of @bodytext 
has more than one line of text; that is to say, each of element of @bodytext 
has >=1 newline. This results in @bodytext[1..5] returning about 30 lines of 
text with the test email I was using. How can I use perl to get just 5 (or 
10) lines of text?


Regards,
Jason

Recently I had to use a temp motherboard while my real one was getting
fixed.  It had built-in sound.  So, I decided to use built-in sound in
addition to my Soundblaster 128.  It was quite possible.  /dev/dsp
referred to the onboard sound, and /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp2 referred to the
Soundblaster.  Of course, the on board sound was so crappy, I stopped
using it.  I don't know if it's similar under ALSA as it was under OSS,
though I've had luck with sending things to /dev/sound/adsp.

What device file is kpilot pointing to?  If it's pointing to one of the above 
symlinks, try pointing to /dev/usb/tts/1 directly.  For some reason, I've 
never been able to get kpilot to work with a symlinked USB device.

That sounds like a proprietary solution.  I guess you have to look at
their web-site, and order a Linux client...  I don't know anything
about checkpoint, so I might be wrong here.

VPN is really a broad term.  Running PPP over SSH also creates a VPN
(very simple to set up for point-to-point, an alternative perhaps?).

Ah yes, would you tell this my pc please? It refuses to stop working with my 
two soundcards (sb16 using ens1371 + EWS88MT using ice1712). Why shouldn't 
this work anyway?
I'd suggest to use the snd-ens1370-driver for the ens1370-card ;-)

total 0
crwxrwxrwx1 root root 188,   0 Dec 31  1969 0

"/dev/pilot" and "/dev/palm" both link to "/dev/usb/tts/1"

so given the above permissions, i don't see how that can be the issue...

Give it up, it will not work.

Typically, if you need more capabilities than your existing sound card
provides, you buy a better card. I think you would be better looking for a
software based solution - but I don't fancy your chances of it being Linux
based, pro audio is another one of those poorly supported areas.

I read a white paper on the subject a while back, may 4 months or so. 
Basically it proves that EXT2 is the fastest of all the non-journalling 
filesystems on linux. As for the best journalling performer, it was
EXT3. The 
differences of all the journalling filesystems were measurable, but not
so 
different that any one single filesystem was useless. The slowest of the

bunch, on average,  was XFS.

Give me a while... I'll try and track donw that paper for you.

Thank you, Those results seem quite surprising to me, I would have said
the order of performance would be:
  - XFS
  - ReiserFS
  - ext2
  - ext3

With JFS sitting some were in the list, it will be interesting to see
how performance was tested.

Whare are the permission on the device file and the usb file system if 
you're using usb?  It's been a while since I got mine working but I think
