[gentoo-user] postscript fonts???

2003-09-11 Thread Alberto Bert
Hi,

I don't know why gv display so terrible fonts. :-(

I'm generating my .ps via .dvi by dvips, but also postscript file
downloaded from the internet are unreadable.

I already tryed to emerge gnu-gs-fonts-std and gnu-gs-fonts-other but
nothing is changed (what's for are they?)

Any suggestion?
Should I emerge/install anything?

Thanks

[gentoo-user] Post Install Questions

2003-09-11 Thread Kevin Miller, Jr.
Okay, I have installed Gentoo 1.4 on my notebook.  I have two problems to
get passed now.  Be advised, I am a Gentoo newbie and it took nearly a week
to get this installed all the way (on my 4th attempt I might add).

Problem 1:  I screwed up on the grub.conf.  I forgot to add the root (hd0,0)
line.  I tried to edit it but as I saved it, I was told that grub.conf was
only a read file.  How can I edit grub.conf?  Do I need to mount something?
Note, I have only used Unix and Linux for a year now.

Problem 2:  Though I am able to boot Gentoo after some editing the above in
the grub, I now cannot get Gentoo to fully load.  It freezes after starting
the pcmcia.  Here is what I get:

Starting pcmcia
cardmgr[822]: watching 2 sockets
cardmgr[822]: starting, version is 3.2.4
cardmgr[822]: socket 1: 3Com 3ccfe575C71 Fast EtherLink XL
cardmgr[822]: executing: 'modprobe cb_enabler'
cardmgr[822]: executing: 'modprobe 3c575_cb'
It stops right here and I have to reboot the computer.

I know there was some discussion on Gentoo's lack of support for pcmcia but
it was a bit beyond my head.  Also, I still could not get my computer
connected online (which probably has something to do with the above pcmcia).

A newbie needs some help:(

Hi Florian,
   I think you do not want Radeon support compiled into the kernel. That
will show up when you emerge xfree-drm if you use a 'radeon' USE flag.
(Drepreciated, but still works for me.
   In make xconfig, under Character Devices, choose Yes for Direct Rendering
Support, No for Build Drivers for old DRM, and No for all options under DRM
4.1 drivers. Build your kernel and get it running.
   Then emerge xfree-drm and I think you'll be OK. You will also need to
modify your xf86config file. Come back later when the rest of this works for
you and we'll go through that if you are having problems.
Good luck,
Mark
Thanks for your support Mark! I hope i can manage it with your help.
I did the above, the result is similar, still the
(EE) LoadModule: Module radeon does not have a radeonModuleData data object.

But i will have a closer look now, i comment this on my site.

[gentoo-user] iPod G3 Gentoo

2003-09-11 Thread Matthew Coulson
Ok, I finally got firewire working on my Gentoo install :) My Deltron Speedzter 
external fwusb2 cases both work perfectly, hotplug automatically runs 
rescan-scsi-bus.sh every time a device gets added or removed, I'll be looking to 
script the mounting sometime... But for now I have to get my iPod working!

Under windows, I'd put the iPod in its dock, or on the cable directly. It'd 
immediately say do not disconnect on the display, and after 10-20 seconds pop up in 
device manager as a disk drive.

Under Linux, when I plug it in, run the rescan manually, or boot up with it plugged in 
I get nothing at all - no evidence it even exists! I know its still working as if I 
plug it into a Windows machine it installs straight away (and this machine was Windows 
based up until a week ago)

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Matthew

Re: [gentoo-user] ! SOLVED ! postscript fonts???

2003-09-11 Thread Alberto Bert

I probably understood which was the problem:

gv by default doesn't do the antialiasing fo fonts and aparently it is
needed (at least in my case.) Now I entered

GV.antialias:   True

in my ~/.gv file and everything is fine.

Anyone know why antialiasing is not on by default? Is there any reason
for that?

Re: [gentoo-user] telnet qpkg

hi! 
 
why don't you run 'emerge search telnet'? there you see some different telnet 
packages you can install... 
 
i am using 'net-misc/netkit-telnetd' (standard linux telnet client and server)

Zitat von Dan Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 
 
 Hot Diggety! Stroller was rumored to have written: 
   
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ qpkg -f /usr/bin/ktelnet 
  app-crypt/krb5 * 
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ qpkg -f /usr/bin/ktelnetd 
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ 
   
  Two questions remain: 
  - Why does app-crypt/krb5 (kerberos?) rely on what appears to be a  
  telnet app..? 
  
 It's kind of the other way around ;) 
  
 It's saying that ktelnet is a part of the krb5 ebuild. 
  
 That is, ktelnet is a special version of telnet that has been Kerberized 
 (yes, you're right, Kerberos stuff) where it passes along Kerberos tickets 
 to the local ktgt server and stuff to avoid needing to send passwords in 
 cleartext, only ticket-granting tickets (TGTs). Nifty technology, but of no 
 use if you don't have a Kerberos realm running either locally or remotely. 
  
 If you don't use Kerberos, chances are pretty good you probably don't need 
 that stuff at all and could likely safely unmerge it. 
  
  - Where has /usr/bin/ktelnetd come from, and why doesn't qpkg show me..? 
  
 Could it be /usr/sbin/ktelnetd by any chance?

cant do it .. so i opened a ticket to try and see what was going on and i
got an email from the postmaster, or some admin who states ..

Subject: [gentoo-user] Remove TLS from Qmail


 Hello list ..

 I have a problem that i thought was Qmail related, but because of the way
 Gentoo compiled Qmail, it seems its more of a Gentoo issue to undo ..

 I have been having issue subscribing to all sf.net mailing-lists .. i just
 cant do it .. so i opened a ticket to try and see what was going on and i
 got an email from the postmaster, or some admin who states ..

 ###

 Thanks for the note.  I hate to tell you this, but the problem IS in fact
 on your end: you have TLS misconfigured.

 /var/log/exim/mainlog:2003-09-09 12:25:55 19wo7B-0004BH-00 ==

 missing certificate: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or
 directory (#4.3.0)

 Once this is fixed, everything should work just fine.

 If you have other problems in the future, please report via our ticketing
 system:
 ##

 So after figuring that i probably dont need TLS, i did not intentionally
 instal it, i dont know how to configure it and i dont know how to create a
 certificate, i would just like to disable/remove TLS so that i dont have
 these problems with sf.net or any other mail that may be trying to get to
 me.
 Note: i have never had an instance where i didnt receive mail that was
sent
 to me .. at least not to my knowledge ..

 thanks for the help of anyone willing to help configure or disbale this
TLS

 to get this installed all the way (on my 4th attempt I might add).
 
 Problem 1:  I screwed up on the grub.conf.  I forgot to add the root (hd0,0)
 line.  I tried to edit it but as I saved it, I was told that grub.conf was
 only a read file.  How can I edit grub.conf?  Do I need to mount something?
 Note, I have only used Unix and Linux for a year now.
 
 Problem 2:  Though I am able to boot Gentoo after some editing the above in
 the grub, I now cannot get Gentoo to fully load.  It freezes after starting
 the pcmcia.  Here is what I get:
 
 Starting pcmcia
 cardmgr[822]: watching 2 sockets
 cardmgr[822]: starting, version is 3.2.4

 cardmgr[822]: executing: 'modprobe cb_enabler'
 cardmgr[822]: executing: 'modprobe 3c575_cb'
 It stops right here and I have to reboot the computer.
 
 I know there was some discussion on Gentoo's lack of support for pcmcia but
 it was a bit beyond my head.  Also, I still could not get my computer
 connected online (which probably has something to do with the above pcmcia).

I agree with Gabriel,

I use Shorewall myself and have for sometime before I started running Gentoo. Very 
robost, great
web site with awesome examples and FAQ's, and a great mailing list.

I myself have been told to learn iptables but I let Shorewall do all of this for me. 
Shorewall is
a frontend for iptables meaning that it basically makes the configuration of iptables 
easy through
the Shorewall config scripts. Its always a good idea to learn iptables though. I 
myself am to
overwhelmed learning tons of other things right now to through IPtables into the mix.

I would go with Shorewall though if your going to make a choice. Shorewall is very 
well maintained
and kept up to date bug wise. And now that your running Gentoo getting the latest of 
anything in
the linux world is as easy as emerge pkg name.. HeeHeee..

If you really have a need to understand the low-level details of managing
iptables, then you might not want shorewall. But shorewall lets you
work at a higher level of abstraction - designing zones and policies,
rather that dealing with low-level details. In most software development

[gentoo-user] SBLive module/acore won't load

2003-09-11 Thread Stephen Boulet
I'm running 2.4.22. For some reason my sound module won't load. 

I recompiled my kernel with acore as a module:

   make dep  make clean  make bzImage  make modules  make 
modules_install  emerge nvidia-kernel  env ALSA_CARDS=emu10k1 emerge 
alsa-driver alsa-utils

I have a nforce2 chipset board, so there is both my SBLive card and the 
onboard nvaudio too. In my kernel config, I just have sound as a module, but 
it seems that this is where the problem is.

But here's the output of alsasound:

Does gentoo chenge patches default file selection dialog box tia

http://arstechnica.com/reviews/003/software/gnome-2.4/gnome2.4-2.html
.
Anyone who has used GTK+ applications to any significant extent will love to hate the 
GTK+ file selector. Indeed, it appears to be traditional for GNOME reviews to slam 
this dialog box, with its separate directory (folder) and file selectors, and poor 
filtering behavior. Sadly, GNOME users will have to live with it until release 2.6. 
Release 2.4, using GTK+ 2.2, still uses it. While it is a poor dialog box, some 
distributors such as Ximian have patched in a different dialog box, which has also 
made its way into some distributions, e.g. Debian.

Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge'ing with dialup tips??

2003-09-11 Thread Joshua Banks
Thanks for the reply everyone.

Yes, definetly smarter to include the -f flag for Dialup users. Atleast this way I 
have all the
pkgs. local first. I've found that when I use the -D option this causes the compile 
time of these
pkgs. to take allot longer. My only understanding of the -D is what I read in the man 
emerge
page. Not really to much of a explanation for someone that is new to Gentooisum's...

So the way that I was doing this before was emerge -uD world when dialed-up. With, 
(example: 44
pkgs. needed in my case) I was now kindof trapped. It would grab the first pkg. 
compile and
would/can take for ever to compile that pkg. Meanwhile my dialup connection has to 
stay up because
from the previous command it's going to try download the next pkg inline after 
compiling the
previous. The other drawback to this is that allot of these packages are huge in size 
and trying
to download email or anything else at the same time proved to be very anoying. Not 
only that, but
some of these pkgs. would take acouple hours to compile and my ISP would kill the 
modem connection
when sitting idle for so long..Thats ofcourse if I wasn't in the room at the time 
pushing traffic
through the ppp interface.

After receiving everyones tips I did emerge -uDf world and it downloaded all of the 
needed pkgs.
and saved them locally without compiling. I was able to goto bed and have all the 
needed pkgs
waiting for me when I got up. Now the nice thing about this is that I can now emerge 
-uD world
and it will grab all the packages locally and compile one after the other without 
needing to go
out to the internet. I can then dialup and not have to worry about my downloading of 
other things
fighting with simultaneous outbound emerge connections trying to download pkgs sense 
they are
already local.

Kool with a K.

Thanks everyone.

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: radeon 7500 - module prob - radeonModuleData

 Thanks for your support Mark! I hope i can manage it with your help.
 I did the above, the result is similar, still the
 (EE) LoadModule: Module radeon does not have a radeonModuleData
 data object.
 problem. I guess it's not the guilt of the XF86Config. No idea
 what to do :(
 But i will have a closer look now, i comment this on my site.

 cheers,
 Florian

OK then, let's go back to basics and find the problem:

1) Since you built a new kernel yesterday, please provide the output of
'uname -a' so we can double check that it got loaded.

2) Provide the output of lsmod so we can see what modules are loaded. If you
have the wrong radeon module (I.e. - no 3D acceleration) then this problem
could happen.

3) If, by chance, the radeon module isn't loaded at all, then what happens
when you do 'modprobe radeon'?

4) 'emerge epm' if you don't have it and provide the output of 'epm -qa |
grep xfr'

5) Provide the output of lspci.

6) In /etc/X11/XF86Config, please make sure you have enabled dbe, glx 
dri, and that you are also loading

Driver radeon

in the Device Section. Maybe you have the wrong driver name there.

FYI - You will also need to go to the Section DRI are and uncomment Mode
0666.

Enough for now,
Mark

[gentoo-user] ssh timeouts

2003-09-11 Thread Anatoly Vorobey
Hello,

I wonder if anyone else encountered the following problem. My home 
machine is on an ADSL connection, with the ADSL modem functioning as a 
router and doing address translation. When I connect outside with ssh,
it breaks the connection after very small periods of inactivity (2-3 
minutes will usually do it) with Connection reset by peer. I verified
that this has nothing to do with autotimeout settings of the shell on 
the other side. In fact, the login shell and whatever else I ran from it
continues running on the other side. I don't experience connection 
breakage in other TCP connections originating from my machine (e.g. long
downloads, telnet).

Googling for information, I found many cases when people complained of 
this problem and were told to put ProtocolKeepAlives with the value of 
30 or so in their ssh config files. The problem is that 
ProtocolKeepAlives seems to be a debian-only extension (perhaps put 
there precisely to combat this problem?).

So, my question is threefold, I guess: has anyone encountered this 
problem? can anyone explain why this is happening, in technical terms? 
is there anything I can do to help it?

Many thanks in advance,
Anatoly.

same time I don't want to have problem in reading basic stuff.

If I do

# emerge -s font

there is a big number of packages and I get lost.
What I REALLY need?

Thank you,

[gentoo-user] foomatic's distfiles ???

2003-09-11 Thread Alexander Puchmayr
Hi list!

A few weeks ago I had a problem with upgrading: when it came to upgrade 
foomatic, it failed to download foomatic-3.0.0.tar.gz.
I submitted a bug, it was marked as fixed soon.
But now, I have the same problem again.

And how can I continue my emerge -uU kde ?

[gentoo-user] /lib/modules for multiple kernels question

2003-09-11 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi,
   If there's a page somewhere that explains this issue, please direct me
there before you write a lot of stuff down. I just cannot find the answer in
Google.

   I am quite unclear in the Linux kernel build process how to keep multiple
versions of the same kernel on the system when they require different
/lib/modules directories? How do I build the kernel such that I end up with
something like

/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6-ver1
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r6-ver2

and have the right directory associated with the appropriate kernel?

   I completely understand how to manage the bzImage file and grub to make
this work. I just don't get how to handle the modules part.

   Maybe I'm missing the point and somehow it can just be a single directory
with both version's modules in it, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
I'm not clear if this is a Gentoo issue or just a Linux issue in general.

   The problem being addressed here is that I _had_ a working kernel using
gcc3.2, but then went to gcc3.3 and lost the modules I needed for the 3.2
kernel image to work. I would have liked to keep them both.

Thanks,
Mark

 minutes will usually do it) with Connection reset by peer. I verified
 that this has nothing to do with autotimeout settings of the shell on

 continues running on the other side. I don't experience connection

 Googling for information, I found many cases when people complained of 
 this problem and were told to put ProtocolKeepAlives with the value of 
 30 or so in their ssh config files. The problem is that 
 ProtocolKeepAlives seems to be a debian-only extension (perhaps put 
 there precisely to combat this problem?).
 
 So, my question is threefold, I guess: has anyone encountered this 
 problem? can anyone explain why this is happening, in technical terms? 
 is there anything I can do to help it?


i had this issue, but only when connecting to non-gentoo (ie. redhat) machines...  it 
had to do with the keepalive time specified in the kernel, so all i had to do was run 
the following as root:

  # echo 300  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time

and to make sure it happens every time i reboot, i added this line to
/etc/sysctl.conf:

  # reduce keepalive time to stay connected to redhat boxes
  net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 300

i'm not sure why the keepalive time is different for gentoo vs. redhat,
only that this fixt the problem.  hope it helps.

OK then, let's go back to basics and find the problem:

1) Since you built a new kernel yesterday, please provide the output of
'uname -a' so we can double check that it got loaded.
2) Provide the output of lsmod so we can see what modules are loaded. If you
have the wrong radeon module (I.e. - no 3D acceleration) then this problem
could happen.
3) If, by chance, the radeon module isn't loaded at all, then what happens
when you do 'modprobe radeon'?
4) 'emerge epm' if you don't have it and provide the output of 'epm -qa |
grep xfr'
5) Provide the output of lspci.

6) In /etc/X11/XF86Config, please make sure you have enabled dbe, glx 
dri, and that you are also loading
Driver radeon

in the Device Section. Maybe you have the wrong driver name there.

FYI - You will also need to go to the Section DRI are and uncomment Mode
0666.
Enough for now,
Mark


I did everything, here are the results:

Thanks Shawn. So this would be line #1 or #4? Line 4 seems more likely to
me.

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 20
EXTRAVERSION = -gentoo-r5

Changing the EXTRAVERSION part would make lots of sense if it also creates a
/lib/modules directory and links the kernel with the KERNELRELEASE in line
6.

Thanks though. I didn't know this was here. It makes sense, presuming it
works the way I think it does.

 All I can add is ditto; Shorewall is great.  I might add, I'm using
 it with the 2.6 kernels (now on -test5).  It provides very
 meaningful log messages (/var/log/messages unless you alter your
 syslog setup).  After my initial setup, I discovered that my
 default setup was rejecting samba traffic from my lan, and that was
 trivial to fix.

Ahh, good point -- I did not try 2.6 kernel so far, and have a 
question: Is (and if yes what) there something new (some changes) 
in the netfilter implementation from 2.4 to 2.6? I mean, something 
like ipchains -- iptables from 2.2 to 2.4, or can I still use my

Yes. VERSION is the main release number -- to be specific, the full

So, if you wanted to have multiple versions of one kernel's modules,
just change EXTRAVERSION.

If you were able to modprobe radeon and then see it with lsmod, then I am no
longer clear what the problem is.

If you run glxgears and get something above 200fps (I get about 1760fps on
the 800MHz Athlon I have here in the office with a Radeon 7500) then
everything is working.

If you still get low frame rates then there is a problem that I don't
understand.

Wait! I do not see agpgart in your lsmod listing. Please turn that on in
make xconfig under Character devices. Or is it turned on but built into the
kernel? If so, then please make it a module, not built in. (I think I read
this somewhere...anyway, if you make it modular then you can see that it's
loaded.)

agpgart is built into the kernel, i also have several chipssets enabled, 
they might be superflouent, but i got the config from another 
thinkpadR40 site so i copied it, but i guess this is not a problem.

Currently:
CONFIG_AGP=y
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y
CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD_8151 is not set
CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y

I gonna make a new kernel with agpgart as a module and let you know what

Assign the key combination CTRL - ALT - ESC to the keyboard signal in by

If you don't want to reboot, run 'loadkeys /etc/keymaps' to load the

 Dear gentooists,

 I've being running Gentoo for about one year, both on my desktop PCs and

 to have two systems whose installed packages are identical, some sort of
 twin systems. This will allow simple fail over.

 If I understand well how portage work it should be just a matter of
 syncronizing the world file of both server and let one install new
 packages installed on the other.

 Is this correct?

IMHO: No

you should have to synchronize /var/db and /var/cache/edb
After installing one paket on the first one, you could transfer the binary 
paket to the second one.

The easiest way should be with rsync'ing the second server with the first one, 
but son't ask me about rsync ;o) Personally, I would fiddle with quickqkg, 
--buildpkg and a wrapper script, that transfers the paket a to the second 
server and installs it there. After getting this script working, I would 
format the second server, tar-up the first one and unpack it on the second. 
Then the emerge-wrapper would set up. Could be more elegant, but I am a 
(l)user only.. never had to sync two machines ;o)

For what it's worth and for a different answer ;) I have recently tried
rc.firewall (http://projectfiles.com/firewall/) and I really really
liked it. It is only one file which you run from your
/etc/conf.d/local.start. The good thing that I liked apart from it being
only one script file is that it is *dead* easy to setup and run. All I
had to do was fill a one line config variable and I was set. I went this
route because at that moment I needed a firewall ASAP and didn't have
time to even look at configuration files. Now I have it running on 4
machines without any problems so far. I recommend it at least as an
option. [disclaimer: I never got to try shorewall]

[gentoo-user] genkernel again (initrd)

2003-09-11 Thread Karl Huysmans
Hi all,

Honestly, I still can't figure out how initrd is created by genkernel. I
got a 3ware with 4 45 Gig disks connected (RAID 10). My entire system is
on this RAID.

Tried to build a kernel (2.4.22) with genkernel (1.7), 3ware as module.
During boot, initrd seems to load (detecting storage, detecting usb or
something like that) but the 3ware modules are not loaded, kernel panics
because it doesn't find /root.

Solved the problem by re-compiling the kernel (genkernel --config) with
3ware built-in, no problems.

But I would like to know how genkernel/initrd works. I remember from the
old RedHat days that their mkinitrd script looks in /etc/modules.config
and creates initrd with the modules found there. How exactly does this
work in Gentoo? Is there a file to edit? Should something be done in
modules.autoload? Should I edit /etc/kernels/? Ore is this just not
working yet ... 

THX

I filed a bug for you:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28469

...and assigned it to me. Will look into it before I roll the next genkernel
release. did you use vanilla-sources-2.4.22 or did you grab the kernel sources
by hand?

Oh, create a bugzilla account at http://bugs.gentoo.org and reply by adding 
a comment to the bug :) you should also be able to add yourself to the cc:

 Oh, boy, good timing is everything!
 
 I just found this problem myself about 15 minutes ago, and I think I've solved 
 it: I noticed that some error messages further up on the screen said 
 something about no acceptable javac. I did a which javac on the command 
 line, and sure enough, javac wasn't in the path.
 
 I checked in the Sun JDK installation and javac seemed to be there, in:
 
 /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.1/bin
 
 I made a symbolic link in /usr/bin to the javacc here:
 
 ln -sf /usr/bin/javacc /opt/sun-jkd-1.4.2.1/bin
 
 and reran the emerge command. However, it still didn't work - I got the same 
 error message, but this time it was complaining abou It not finding a 
 suitable jar.
 
 I did a which jar and sure enough, it wasn't in the path.:
 
 which: no jarr in (/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:
 /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2:/opt/Acrobat5:/usr/X11R6/bin:

 But then I noticed that the java directories in the path were under 
 /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2 and not /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.1. It turned out that the 
 /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2/ direcotry tree was nearly empty. I deleted that and 
 renamed /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.1 to /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2, and reran the emerge 
 command. It worked great.

This is what the utility java-config exists for.
Try java-config --help, java-config --list-available-vms, and
java-config --set-system-vm.

[gentoo-user] terminal colors

2003-09-11 Thread momesana
Does anybody know how to set colors on the terminals?
I don't mean the colors associated with the ls command which can be realized 
by the entry alias=ls --color in ./bashrc or ./profile but rather a way to 
controll how output to the console looks like. I need this because I want to 
make shellscripts that output something on screen look better (just like 
emerge :-) ).
I have tried:
setterm -foreground ... -background ... 
but it wouldn't work.
The only thing that works is setterm -bold under X and setterm -reversescreen 
under the ordinary shells (without X).

I have read through a bunch of mailing lists in order to find the reason for 
this and somebody had noted that it was because of some escape sequences that 
are automatically added because of my configuration.
I have pasted the message from that mailinglist beneath.

any suggestions? 
email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanx in advance.
momesana.

  setterm -inversescreen on

worked on my potato, but

setterm -background black -foreground green
setterm -background green -foreground black

seemed to do nothing... then i realized i have some escape
sequences built in to my command prompt -- plus, whenever i do a
ls --color the escape sequences always reset it to white.

just thought i send out a flare to give the folks new to
setterm a heads-up on various caveats... terminal settings can
be transient and changed easily through escape sequences
(editors, listings, etc)...

 Ahh, good point -- I did not try 2.6 kernel so far, and have a

 in the netfilter implementation from 2.4 to 2.6? I mean, something 
 like ipchains -- iptables from 2.2 to 2.4, or can I still use my 
 firewall scripts with a 2.6 kernel?
 

I can't answer that.  I've only done shorewall/firewall on 2.6.  The
only extra requirement that I found for shorewall is iproute-20010824-r4
(masked).  The rest was like falling off a log.  My generall impression
is that the netfilter implementation changes are only those required by
2.6 architectural changes and more bugfixes.

I'd classify it as a bug as -S should imply -s. We should remove the
emerge rsync action, it has been deprecated long enough.

this sound card really working? (I only have headphones and two columns+subwoofer, so 
I wouldn't need the fancier setups, but I need LineIn working.) The alsa site doesn't 
mention Audigy2...
Installing alsa is not that hard, but recompiling KDE is, not to mention uninstalling 
alsa later if needed.
TIA.

 If I do
 
 # emerge -s font
 
 there is a big number of packages and I get lost.
 What I REALLY need?
 

Just go to each directory under /usr/portage/media-fonts and read the
description in the ebuild.  Some fonts, for example, are for Chinese
only.  I currently have aquafont-2.7   artwiz-fonts-2.4  
sharefonts-0.10-r1 aquapfont-2.5  freefonts-0.10-r2

Re: [gentoo-user] terminal colors

I use xterm and what I do is to set parameters in my ~/.Xdefaults

My setting is:

# Font
XTerm*faceName:
XTerm*faceSize: 10

# Colors
XTerm*background: gray75
XTerm*foreground: gray10
XTerm*cursorColor: goldenrod1

# Cursor Blinking

but you can find a lot of other versions in the internet.
You can set any color you want (not just foregrond and background.)

 Does anybody know how to set colors on the terminals?
 I don't mean the colors associated with the ls command which can be realized

 controll how output to the console looks like. I need this because I want to 
 make shellscripts that output something on screen look better (just like 
 emerge :-) ).
 I have tried:
 setterm -foreground ... -background ... 
 but it wouldn't work.
 The only thing that works is setterm -bold under X and setterm -reversescreen 
 under the ordinary shells (without X).
 
 I have read through a bunch of mailing lists in order to find the reason for 
 this and somebody had noted that it was because of some escape sequences that 
 are automatically added because of my configuration.
 I have pasted the message from that mailinglist beneath.
 
 any suggestions?

 setterm -background green -foreground black
 
 seemed to do nothing... then i realized i have some escape
 sequences built in to my command prompt -- plus, whenever i do a
 ls --color the escape sequences always reset it to white.
 
 just thought i send out a flare to give the folks new to
 setterm a heads-up on various caveats... terminal settings can
 be transient and changed easily through escape sequences
 (editors, listings, etc)...

Yes, but the parts of KDE that the apps are dependent on will be pulled in
and installed so you'll end up with some of the bloat.

 So i'm just following the steps and here's a question:

   Make sure the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is off. The

 what about XFree 4.3. ? The same?

The kernel's DRM only works for xfree 4.2 and lower. Therefore, you
cannot enable DRM in the kernel with xfree 4.3. When you emerge
xfree-drm, it provides an updated DRM that works with xfree 4.3.

 Evolution can be configured not to send HTML email, I know - I'm using
 it.
 
 AFAICS there is *never* a need to send HTML mails, just turn it off.

   I'm running 4 boxes on a KVM here. 3 Linux )2 Gentoo and a Win98 box
 that runs my CAD programs. I have no problem with the Linux boxes but
 from time to time I loose the mouse on the Win98 box. That requires a
 reboot to get mouse control back. On the very rare occasion that I
 loose the mouse on one of the Linux boxes, I can get control back by
 switching to a virtual console and back. (ctrl+ alt+ F2 then ctrl+
 alt+F7) and the mouse comes back I'm running a Logitech 3 button
 scrolling Trackman Marble+ that uses the IMP/s protocol.

I haven't been that lucky.  Of course, I'm using a crappy 2 Port OmniView.
