Yeah, didn't think of that before. There's a link on the left side of

[gentoo-user] new baselayout/checkfs and evms bugs

2003-09-20 Thread Alan
Finally rebooted after the last stable x86 baselayout update, and had
some problems when my system started up again.

The first was that while I did have the evms package installed, the
kernel I'm using is the ac-sources, which doesn't have the evms patch.
/etc/init.d/checkfs and /etc/init.d/evms check for the existance of
/sbin/evms_activate and run evms_activate if it does, but don't (can't?)
check to see if it's actually supported in the kernel, giving ugly
errors.

The second was I moved a RAID array off my box some time ago, but
apparently still had it listed in /etc/mdadm.conf.  The new 
/etc/init.d/checkfs saw it there, tried to start it, found that it
didn't exist and bailed me to a console.  It took a bit of digging to
figure out what the heck was going on.  Maybe adding a suggestion of
where to look, or consider this a less fatal error (maybe only if it's
not / perhaps?) might be better.

seems pretty straight forward.  If the router hands out addresses by
dhcp, configure eth0 as such.  eth1, same deal.  The trick will be in
the routing table.  I've modified my routing table to look like what you
want:

# route -n

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse
Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0  00
eth0
127.0.0.0   127.0.0.1   255.0.0.0   UG0  00
lo
0.0.0.0  0.0.0.0 UG0  00
eth1


When processing a request, the kernel will hit the top line first, if the 
IP address falls in 192.168.0.x, it will send it out eth0, if it falls
in 127.x.x.x, it'll go the the loopback device (stay on localhost),
anything that falls through the previous rules goes to the default rule.
In this case, it will be sent out eth1 to the default gateway.  the
default gw is assigned by your ISP.

If your net.eth0 and net.eth1 are configured correctly, you shouldn't
have to mess with the routing table, it will be set up automagically.
the only bugger is that when you get dhcp address via the home router,
it will try to assign the default gateway.  check the manpage for dhcpcd
(client daemon) and see what option you may need to add to the init
script...

HTH,

Cooper.

I'm looking for some tips to start off creating a specific home
network.  My ISP gives me two IPs, I'd like to use one of them for my
desktop, and one for a wireless router (I don't want to put my desktop
behind the router because I don't want to compete with my roommate for

My problem is that I really have no idea what software I should use on

[gentoo-user] kismet-needed Orinoco monitor mode pcmcia driver patch for gentoo's pcmcia-cs-3.2.4

2003-09-20 Thread Bud Roth
I want to play around with kismet and airsnort, but my orinoco gold card
does not go into monitor mode using iwconfig.  There is a bunch of
patches available from http://airsnort.shmoo.com/orinocoinfo.html, but I
am reluctant to install one because the latest version of patcheable
pcmcia-cs is 3.2.1 and I am running pcmcia-cs-3.2.4 gentoo emerge on a
gentoo Dell i8k running kernel 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 with all pcmcia options
off in .config and pcmcia up and running.  (I am connected to the
Internet at the moment via my card.)

What should I do to modify my orinoco driver to permit monitor mode? 
Any guidance (even express directions) would be most appreciated.

No, if portage detects that fixpackages needs to be run and runs it 
automatically, binary packages would be fixed as well. fixpackages does more 
than fix binary packages, though; it also fixes the installation database 
when ebuilds are moved within the portage tree (e.g. app-games/* to games-*/
*).

If the computers are continuously networked then NFS is definately the way to 
go. Otherwise, would need to delete original portage tree and copy new one 
each time.

F-prot will catch it. Clamav not catching it was what caused me to switch.

[gentoo-user] Operation not permitted

2003-09-20 Thread Mike Williams
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Allo all,

After some messing about I've just moved my fileserver from 2.5.68 to 
2.6.0-test5-mm3, and everything appears to work ok, except!

rm: cannot remove `/usr/var/tmp/portage/lvm2-2.00.06/temp/ccgDUvgl.s': 
Operation not permitted
rm: cannot remove `/usr/var/tmp/portage/lvm2-2.00.06/work/LVM2.2.00.06/lib/
activate/activate.h': Operation not permitted
rm: cannot remove `/usr/var/tmp/portage/lvm2-2.00.06/work/LVM2.2.00.06/lib/
activate/dev_manager.h': Operation not permitted

And lots, lots, lots more of a similar ilk, over multiple disks, on multiple 
controllers, on multiple filesystems, over multiple boots. If I boot back 
into 2.5.68 I can delete/move/edit/etc the files with no complaints.
Portage tmp is on /usr ATM cause I thought it might be the original disk which 
was dieing. Currently portage tmp is on xfs, but has been on ext3 and resiser 
too with the same errors (so no funky chattr stuff here, lsattr confirms 
too).

The errors are not only extremely annoying, but causing no end of problems 
too.
I'm about to try a stock 2.6 kernel, but in the mean time does anyone know 
why/how files are being created that can't be deleted?

Cheers

I use nfs to share /usr/portage among three gentoo boxes, and I've found
that fixpackages runs automatically before the next emerge operation on the
two boxes which don't get synced explicitly.  So I don't think you need to
run fixpackages.  

But then again, I have no binary packages.

That's almost enough. You probably want to delete the original portage tree on

No it simply shows you that in memory one or bit's have flipped, but it 
does NOT tell you that the memory is faulty. I would check the PSU, 
because if that is not quite up to the need then compiling and 
memtesting can drain too much power from it. This leads to overheat 
condition, which then leads to massive or minor voltage oscillation.
This results can be seen either as memory or CPU failures depending 
which power rails the system stresses too much under heavy load.

Yeah it most likely is not memory error. Memory testing is the easiest 
way to determine that the system has something wrong.

> Can you fellows think of anything else I can do?

As a check up try to run memtest with open cover and put a table fan to 
blow inside the case.

If it still fails check, which parts of the system are hot, if any. So 
if the PSU gets really hot even in that condition then you most likely 
have too low speced PSU, which is the one thing that most peoples and 
COMPANIES are trying to save some money. A too low speced PSU is really 
an anoying thing, because in normal operation it works all right 
although it can still oscillate the voltages heavily, but if the 
voltages doesn't get too low the system just functions, but it stresses 
the HW and reduces it's life time.

If the PSU is not the problem, but some other part of the machine burns 
when touching then you have too low cooling in your system.

PS. This certainly doesn't mean that there is no faulty memories, but in 
reality from the quantities they are made only very small amount of the 
faulty ones gets pass the QA. People simply just think that the memory 
is faulty, but in fact the memory module might be just close of the QA 
limit, and a litle under powered or overheated environment rises the 
resistance of that module too high, which then shows up as a memory 
failure.

It doesn't matter. Compiling stuff yourself usually doesn't result in a
measurable performance gain (except if you link against the diet libc),
as the code gcc generates varies with different march-flags only under
some rare conditions.

/etc/conf.d/net takes care of the configuration for all of your ethX
interfaces. So, if you want to set up eth0 for dhcp, then you make sure
that the iface_eth0="dhcp" line is uncommented and that all other lines
that reference eth0 are commented out.

[gentoo-user] curious: gentoo on gateway laptop?

Has anyone successfully installed gentoo on a fairly recent-model
Gateway laptop? I'm specifically interested in the 200 series.
My 2-year old Dell Inspiron 4000 is (physically) starting to come apart
on me (thank god for duct tape!), and I'm sorta shopping around for a
replacement in the thin-n-light category. The new Gateway 200 series
looks pretty slick...

I just realized that the files in /etc/conf.d configure the running of
/etc/init.d scripts.  Call me slow.  So, there exists /etc/conf.d/net but
not /etc/conf.d/net.eth0.  Also that file has one line uncommented which
reads [iface_eth0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask

Check in /etc/conf.d/net.  A few lines from the top you will see:

# For DHCP set iface_eth? to "dhcp"

iface_eth0="dhcp"

Although I don't have one myself, have you enabled

Did you mean /etc/init.d/net.eth0?

... "net.eth0" is in /etc/runlevels/default.  So I looked at the
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 script and it looks like it has dhcp enabled there,
but I am not much of a shell programmer so I could have misunderstood. 
Can anyone verify that looking at the attached file?

The final question would be "If it's in /etc/runlevels/default and the
net.eth0 script has dhcp enabled what else do I need to do in order to
get the network going?"...

If you look in your /etc/init.d dir, you won't find a dhcpcd script, but 
you will find a net.ethx script.  So the answer is rc-update add net.ethx

run "rc-update add dhcpcd default" or something else entirely?

Thanks in advance.

[gentoo-user] No Terminals with kernel 2.6.0test4 on

2003-09-20 Thread Wayne Oliver
Hi All

I have the following problem.

I am running the new kernel to get my 
serial ports(expansion card) to work.
kernel 2.6.0 sets this up for me automagically.

However if I start X but when I try to open a terminal I get

openbox -> nothing
gnome   -> and empty terminal with no prompt

The above works 100% with kernel >=2.4.20.

Anyone else experienced this ?

Regards

Wayne

[gentoo-user] wireless-tools not working?

2003-09-20 Thread Matthias F. Brandstetter
Hi all,

I have a problem with my wireless NIC (Netgear WG311) and the 
wireless-tools. I installed the drivers for the NIC (madwifi) and 
they are working fine, I can access the internet (and write this 
mail).

But I want - of course - enable WEP encryption, so I set it up on my 
access point (128bit). Then I have no connection to the internet 
anymore. So I wanted to use "iwconfig ath0 key ..." (I enable the 
interface via rc-script and ifconfig), but nothing happens, I still 
can't access the internet and "iwconfig" shows encryption:off.

Do I miss something? How can I enable WEP encryption for this NIC?
Greetings and TIA, Matthias

the last command executed (/etc/X11/X) does not return. This is a symlink to /
usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. So maybe you can get further information by running:
#strace -f /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 1>out.txt 2>&1
On my laptop I see things like opening the config and loading the drivers 
specified there in the output.
I'm not very familiar with debugging such things, but I hope, we can get it 
running this way.

I've finally found the answer. Somebody broke the script that automatically 
creates the snapshot. "Should be fixed soon" was what I was told.

I've attached an archive of /usr/portage/net-misc/openssh. Untar it from /usr/
portage. I checked dependencies and all are satisfied by packages from before 
20030914 so you should not have any problems there.

I suggest you get the same files from somebody else as well and compare them 
for security reasons. Stroller?

Others: apologies if you hate attachments on mailing lists but it's only <12kb 
so I figured would be okay...

Jason

then all new files created there by any user (except root) will be

by user p2p.p2p and have modes 766 (rwxrw-rw-)
Ah! Excellent! I didn't know hat `chmod` worked like this.

Re: [gentoo-user] EVMS2 on root partition

2003-09-20 Thread Chris van der Pennen




Works fine for me, migrated from EVMS1.  I can send you my initrd, if you want.  Your linuxrc might be a bit wonky or something.  I created my initrd and linuxrc by hand, from the INSTALL.initrd instructions.

Hi!

Finally I've migrated from my old SuSE to Gentoo 1.4 :-)

With Dirk's help & advices I setup EVMS2 on my HD but have problems in
putting root partition under EVMS2. He even sent me a script (based on 
INSTALL.initrd file) to generate initrd file.

First I was just getting "VFS: cannot open root device ..", but after 
recompiling kernel and enabling "Automatically mount at boot" option under
Filesystems menu, I was able to boot, but there are bunch of errors and fstab
is not properly processed.

So, my question is if someone can share his/her experience in putting root
partition on EVMS2 under Gentoo?

Were it only that simple.  Same error.  :/

I'm going to try rebuilding everything from glibc up without ccache, it might help.

[gentoo-user] !!! Error Sourcing Ebuild !!! ????

2003-09-20 Thread Joshua Banks
I have a theory in regards to these paticular error messages.

But I'm unsure if my theory is correct or not.

I did a stage 3 GRP initial install.

I used the 2nd CD to install KDE,Gaim,PPP ect..ect...

Please correct my way of thinking here but arent the pkgs that come on the 2nd CD 
already 
precompiled. So they are in binary format ready to go versus downloading the source 
and compiling
it?

After the intial install of KDE and others off the CD, I got internet access and first 
updated my
system via "emerge sync" then "emerge -u system" then "emerge -uDf world". 
There was a list of about 25 files downloaded. 

It seems that towards the end of each compilation for each file I get the same type of 
(what I
believe to be) a "False Negative" error message.

Example:
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 1174: 
/var/tmp/portage-pkg/genkernel-1.5/inf/genkernel-1.5.ebuild: No
such file or directory

!!! ERROR: genkernel-1.5/genkernel-1.5 failed.
!!! Function , Line 1174, Exitcode 1
!!! error sourcing ebuild


Now the real interesting thing is that the errors seem to be consistent in 2 ways.

1> No matter which pkg I get the error on, the next line is exactly the same "!!! 
Function , Line
1174, Exitcode 1"

2> If I look in /var/log/emerge.log all the pkgs where merged just fine. But the pkgs 
that emerge
is complaining about are actually the binary packages that were installed off the CD.

So if this is correct then I would assume that emerge doesn't have a way to tell if 
the same pkg
its looking for was installed precompiled in binary format versuse being downloaded 
and then
compiled from source.. 

Just a theory. But it seems like a good one so far. Anyone else having these same 
errors as
possibly doing a stage3 GRP install. But if you do a "qpkg -I" the packages were 
upgraded and  
merged successfully?

Thanks,
JBanks

your commands look ok. A zero bit file is very strange. strace traces system 
calls and signals. I cant imagine, how this could be empty and the kernel 
locks. Could you try this as root, and add -f  to strace? This allowes 
tracing forked processes.
#strace -f X 1>out.txt 2>&1

In the chroot shell, run
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make modules

It should run fairly quickly and end in an error. If you could post that 
error, we may be able to help.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your advice.

Still encountered difficulty to proceed.

Yes.  I did as advised.

As super ROOT
I must proceed as follows otherwise 'genkernel' could not work

# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
# source /etc/profile
# genkernel

.
* Running "make oldconfig"... [ ok ]
* Logging to /var/log/genkernel.log...  [ ok ]
* Starting 2.4.20-gaming-r3 build... [ ok ]
* Running "make dep"...  [ ok ]
* Running "make bzImage"... [ ok ]
* Running "make modules"...
: aborting

I tried three times with the same result and could not proceed further.
