Re: [gentoo-user] Microsoft *.wav files

2003-10-01 Thread Arnaud BARRE
If your files are *.wma, i have a perl script to convert wma in mp3 file.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $log=\n;
foreach my $file (@ARGV) {
next if ($file !~ /\.wma$/i);
my $base = $file; $base =~ s/\.wma$//i;
system mplayer -quiet \$file\ -ao pcm -aofile \$base.wav\;
system lame -h \$base.wav\ \$base.mp3\;
unlink($base.wav);
$log.=$base.wma converted to mp3.\n;
}
print $log;

you must emerge lame and mplayer, it's all.

Re: [gentoo-user] Firewall Problems

2003-10-01 Thread Kevin Miller, Jr.
No luck.  I recompiled my kernel and still cannot modprobe these modules.  The 
iptables seems to work though.

Kevin

 modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack
 modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack_ftp
 modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack_irc

 I think if this was working before and stopped working after the upgrade
 then all that you need to do is remerge iptables again and reboot or you
 will need to manually add these to the kernel via genkernel --conifg
 (that is assuming that you used genkernel to compile the kernel for you.)
 , which opens a menuconfig editor for your kernel.

 Then goto Network Options-IP: Netfilter Configuration--- and make
 sure that the following are modules or m's.
 M Connection tracking (required for masq/NAT)
 M   FTP protocol support
 M   IRC protocol support

 I don't know anything about the type of firewall that your running and
 woudl thing that for any error messages that your receiving from your
 firewall that you direct your questions to a list thats maintained by the
 firewall that your using for a faster response.

[gentoo-user] turck-mmcache-2.4.1 ebuild

Hi guys,

I just upgraded the turck-mmcache ebuild to 2.4.1.

You can get the ebuild, Changelog and digests here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29728

It's very stable - and finally bug free (since 2.4.0) - atleast obvious
bugs that mess up some homepages and systems like PostNuke :)

Not sure I agree with you here.  On the contrary, you should have

someone can see something obvious that I have missed. I apologize in
advance for the length.
Can someone give me some pointers on how to troubleshoot this?
Everything seems to be working, but sylpheed just won't see it. Any 
help
would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know if I can be helpful, but I like courier-imap and find it 
interesting, so always like to respond to posts on this subject if I 
can.

Courier-IMAP, or imap in general, seems to be a bit quirky about its 
clients. As I understand this, it's because the RFCs on IMAP are 
unclearly written, and the standards are open to interpretation. The 
maintainers of the major IMAP servers seem unable to resolve this, 
apparently preferring to dispute matters.

I found this useful when I first started with Courier: 
http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.imap.html
You might also read this  contact the poster to see if he has resolved 
his issues - I think they are similar to yours. 
http://www.tmtm.org/cgi-bin/w3ml/sylpheed/msg/19594

Finally: how do you know Courier is running OK..?
Are you able to connect to it with some other mail-client..?
Can you see the contents of the Inbox, either with Slypheed, or 
anything else..?
Did you create your Maildir  its subfolders using the `maildirmake` 
connand..?

I have found Netscape, kMail, Outlook Distress, Squirrelmail  Apple's 
Mail.app all to work immediately, or with just a little tweaking. The 
significant issue, however, is the way that sub-folders are handled - 
this is the chief cause of quirkiness that I recall. Pine  Mutt can 
also be stroppy with Courier-IMAP, and I was able to get neither 
working _quite_ to my satisfaction. I seem to remember I was able to 
run Courier-IMAP with some verbose logging  to tail the end of the 
logfile when I connected; this confirmed, at least, that my username  
password were being transferred correctly. You might try emerging 
squirrelmail to see if that works with your server.

HTH,

Thanks for the repsonse Heschi. All that I was doing was following the Gentoo ~x86

Specifically in the configuration of the grub.conf portion.

I will read up on initrd. So is it safe to assume that I can safely remove that line 
from
grub.conf or is this message coming from how the kernel was compiled by default with 
Genkernel??

Kernel setup has:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y

Grub.conf has this line in it: (per the Install documentation)

[gentoo-user] Font size problem with X11

Hi,

I've got a strange problem with fonts under X11(4.3.0-r2). Sometimes
the fonts are very tiny(only a few pixels high) and sometimes the

When the problem appears I have to restart the x server and everything

What can cause this strange behaviour?

See man XF86Config. In the monitor section there is a Display Size 
option where you can set the size of your monitor in millimeters. 
That info should be available from the monitor users' manual or 
website, or the linux monitor database. I believe a standard 19 
monitor (crt) is 363x272 mm
There is another way...

You can pass the resolution to X when you start the server. (Someone 
please check my syntax)

$ startx --dpi -75

The # (75 in this case) can be any sane #. I favor between 100 and 
120. (I'm currently 112 at 1600x1200 res and 14pt impact fonts are 
fine for my old eyes)

I've got an ati radeon 7500 and just got a nice new lcd monitor that

Current rotation - normal

  Minor opcode of failed request:  2 (RRSetScreenConfig)
  Serial number of failed request:  12
  Current serial number in output stream:  12
$

I can see from the query that no rotations are supported (except the
normal one). Is this a limitation of the radeon driver? Is there a way
to fix this?

I'd be curious to hear of success stories from other people with pivot
monitors (or anyone with xrandr rotating success).

Is there anything that I can do to my network card or my dialup settings to maximize

Re: [gentoo-user] Apache 1.x and 2.x co-existing peacefully

2003-10-01 Thread Kevin Miller, Jr.
Try emerge pD mod_perl

Apache 1.3 should be listed as well as all the dependencies that may or maynot 
be needed to run mod_perl.  

You should be able to run both servers as long as you make sure that you set 
both to listen to different ports.  Maybe Listen 80 for Apache 1.3 and Listen 
8080 for Apache 2.  I remember having to do that in Windows XP since M$ made 
it difficult to uninstall IIS.  I just chose another port for Apache.

Tell me if it works.  I am thinking about installing 1.3 so I can use 
perl_mod.

Re: [gentoo-user] xrandr - rotation support on ATI Radeon

 I can see from the query that no rotations are supported (except the

 I'd be curious to hear of success stories from other people with pivot

The only way to get the rotation is to use kdrive instead of the
standard xfree drivers, which don't support rotation currently.

webmin-1.1.0 is in portage now but with ~arch KEYWORDS. You can't emerge

confusing that with GRPs, which are .tbz2's with a precompiled package.

So far, no to both. I don't think that Courier is set up properly, but

[gentoo-user] Three small but annoying problems.

2003-10-01 Thread Steve
I have my Gentoo system pretty much set up and running how I want it but I 
have these three annoyances:

1.  I can't use CTRL-ALT-F1-F6 to switch from X to a console.  Is this set 
in a config file somewhere, and if so how do I get it to work again?

2.  Upon booting I get this message right after Mounting Local 
Filesystems completes: 'modprobe: modprobe: Cant locate module 
nls_iso8859-1'  I have a feeling that this is related to perhaps samba 
settings in the kernel config.

3.  Also, upon booting, I get this message after Bring interface lo up 
completes: ' modprobe: modprobe: Cant locate module ppp0'.  This one 
actually displays twice.  I have ppp compiled into the kernel and not as a 
module and pppd works fine.

Any suggestions and help is appreciated.

[gentoo-user] problem with php permissions and squirrelmail

2003-10-01 Thread Ian Truelsen
I am trying to get squirrelmail working and am running into a problem
with, I think, the php setup. (Squirrelmail v. 1.4.1, mod_php v.
4.3.2-r4)

The default is to have session.save_path set to /tmp and I have left it
as such, however when I log into squirrelmail, it gives the following
error:

Warning: session_start():
open(/tmp/sess_e738fb3ddc36c92e11cd3e31e2bb, O_RDWR) failed:
Permission denied (13) in
/home/httpd/htdocs/squirrelmail/functions/global.php on line 295

Along with several others that are related to squirrelmail not being
able to access the session info in /tmp.

Has anyone else run into this? What permissions/mount options does /tmp
have to have for php to be able to use it?

I know that distcc is using /tmp without any problems.

i'd check your kernel config and make sure that the following are
enabled:

  File Systems / Native Language Support / Codepage 437
  File Systems / Native Language Support / NLS ISO 8859-1

obviously if you're not from Canada or the usa, then you'll want to use

[gentoo-user] Building packages for another system

2003-10-01 Thread gentoo
Sorry if this is duplicate.  I thought I'd sent it already, but wasn't seeing 
it come back to me.

I'm looking for options to upgrade a system that's currently
running another distribution of linux to Gentoo.  This system is
doing production work, so I want to minimize downtime and have a way
to backout the new load if I'm having problems. I have an extra hard
drive that I could swap in.

I've heard that there are ways to prebuild binaries from Gentoo
sources to speed up an install, but I can't find them documented
anywhere.

Is it an option to stick the hard drive in a different computer
and install Gentoo, or will it not likely boot once moved?

Anyway, any ideas would be appreciated.

RE: [gentoo-user] Building packages for another system

2003-10-01 Thread Jeffrey Smelser
Here is what I am doing..

Since you have an extra drive, I added the drive (or use another computer) and got an 
install working.. I then added all the users and copied over the /home directories for 
them. (making sure you either  use the same guids, or chown -R..

The key is, once you have down a emerge system, to install each thing one by one and 
get it working right. Then move on to the next.  

Once that is done, you can either cp -a to the the system. (I highly recommend a 
backup before hand) or just swap the drives.. (as I am doing..) just make note of your 
/etc/fstab is correct if they change at all. 

Its really not to hard, just gonna take time.

mod_php runs under Apache, which runs under the Apache user account/group.
 Give either one write permissions to /tmp and you should be golden.

I use /var/tmp/squirrelmail for mine, and set it to chmod 770 with

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Scripts Wake On Lan

2003-10-01 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi, 

I have an interesting problem with wake on lan and Gentoo. 

I have a nvidia ethernet card, which can do Wake on Lan. 

When I issue the following commands from the command line: 

$ pci-config -#12 -S
( This is pci-config from scyld.com) 

$ /sbin/halt -fdhp 

Everything works fine, the machine shuts down and wakes up from sleep. 

I also put the commands in the /etc/init.d/shutdown script: 

/sbin/pci-config -#12 -S
sleep 3
#Next command used to be /sbin/halt -idp, changed for Wake on Lan
/sbin/halt -fdhp 

Now after shutdown, the machine doesn't wake up anymore. 

I guess something happens in the shutdown scripts that blocks the proper=20
power-initalization of the network card, but I don't know what. 

The output of the pci-config command is: (both from command line and from=20
script)

I haven't followed this too closely, but do you need initrd?  Maybe your

I've never had /dev/root in fstab and thus never any problems.

One other thing you could do, point your local 3128 to squid on that
machine, and use localhost 3128 as your proxy. Then, all browser
requests to your ssh server will be as if they were local.

Of course then all traffic anywhere will be over the ssh connection to
your squid proxy... One way to get away with viewing pron at work...

[gentoo-user] Console login not working

At some point (unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly when it started) I
stopped being able to log in with a text console.  I can log in fine
through gdm's graphical login, but if I boot into text-mode I can't

What happens is when I type my username, it tells me Login incorrect
without even letting me type my password.  It does this to both root and
my normal user.

I was using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86, so I tried commenting that out in my

Apache 1.3 should be listed as well as all the dependencies that may or maynot

You should be able to run both servers as long as you make sure that you set 
both to listen to different ports.  Maybe Listen 80 for Apache 1.3 and Listen 
8080 for Apache 2.  I remember having to do that in Windows XP since M$ made 
it difficult to uninstall IIS.  I just chose another port for Apache.

Tell me if it works.  I am thinking about installing 1.3 so I can use

To find the package names that you have installed for the kernel:
# qpkg -I -v gentoo-sources

Then unmerge the packages:
# emerge unmerge package

This will remove most of the source files, but not the compiled binary
files.  To remove them just go into /usr/src and rm -rf the directories
of kernel you don't need anymore.

Then mount /boot and go into there and remove the actual kernel files
that are un-needed.

As a note, I generally keep two at all times, just in case.  IE:
Currently I have ac-sources-2.4.22-ac4 and -ac1 installed and available
on boot, but anything before that is gone.  This is good for well,
if you're paranoid anyway :)

There is another way...

   

I took a look at my XF86Config and everything looks fine. Actually it

Are you using Gnome or KDE (or something else)?  If you use Gnome try this:

I usually fire up Gimp and check the system monitor resolution under 
Preferences Monitor.  Then change the resolution in the Gnome 
Preferences Font Details window to match what Gimp reports.  this 
fixes the problem of varying font sizes for me.  Your mileage may vary, 
especially if you don't use Gnome.

You can also remove kernel modules from /lib/modules/. Just find the
kernel version and delete the directory.

Re: [gentoo-user] Removing Old Kernels

2003-10-01 Thread Kevin Miller, Jr.
Thanks everyone for all of your help.  I successfully removed the kernel from 
my computer.  I joted down what you guys told me to do and saved in in a text 
document.  Figured some of you would like a copy for the next noob:)

To unmerge an old kernel, follow these simple guidelines:

1.  If you do not have gentools installed on your computer yet, you will need 
 to emerge it.  If you do not know what this is, you probably have no 
 installed it.  To install gentoolkits:

#emerge gentoolkit

2.  To find out which package names you have installed for each kernel:

# qpkg -I -v gentoo-sources

Your result may look somthing similar to this:

sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5 *
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r7 *

Note:
a. The above uses a CAPITAL I as in Indiana not L as in Louisiana.
b. If you are using another kernel source, just replace 
'gentoo-sources'
with your preferred source, i.e. vanilla-sources

3.  To unmerge the packages:

# emerge unmerge package

Since I want to unmerge the kernel: gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5, I will input 
this:

# emerge unmerge gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5 *

4.  So far, you have removed most of the source files, but not the compiled 
 binary files.  To remove these files, go into /usr/src and rm -rf the 
   
 directories of kernel you don't need anymore.  In this example, you would  
 look for all files that relate to gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5.

5.  Next, mount /boot and go the /boot directory.  Delete all the files 
 related to the kernel version you just deleted.  When you are done, 
 umount /boot.

6.  Finally, go into the /lib/modules/ and delete all the files related to the 
 kernel version you just deleted.

  You should be able to run both servers as long as you make sure that you
  set both to listen to different ports.  Maybe Listen 80 for Apache 1.3
  and Listen 8080 for Apache 2.  I remember having to do that in Windows XP

  for Apache.
 
  Tell me if it works.  I am thinking about installing 1.3 so I can use
  perl_mod.

I have no idea if it is running correctly, only that the processes are

that is only a guess at this point. I am trying to figure out how to
debug it, but I have never had to debug Courier before (with the one

slow going.
Well, I guess maybe you could attempt to telnet to it on port 143  see

Is slypheed definitely trying to connect on this port..? Or might it 
think the server is POP3..? You can set DEBUG_LOGIN=2  tail the syslog 
to double-check the client is connecting.

In /etc/courier-imap/imapd you've set ADDRESS=127.0.0.1, so (dumb 
question) you are trying to connect to it only from the same machine, 
aren't you..? This is the configuration file only for imap, so you 
should be starting it with `/etc/init.d/courier-imapd start` rather 
than /etc/init.d/courier-imapd-ssl or any of the others.

Hope these suggestions are of some help,

try putting this in /etc/hotplub/usb/usb-storage for every device you want to 
handle with hotplug :

my /etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage script is made of different entries like this 
one :
-
if [ $PRODUCT = ed1/6680/100 ]; then
chmod 777 /mnt/usbkey
mount `ls /dev/sd?? -d --sort=time|head -n 1` -t vfat -o umask=000 
/mnt/usbkey
echo #!/bin/bash  $REMOVER
echo # Generic USB Flash Keyring  $REMOVER
echo umount /mnt/usbkey  $REMOVER
echo rmmod usb-storage  $REMOVER
echo chmod 700 /mnt/usbkey  $REMOVER
chmod a+x $REMOVER
fi
-

you can find what to put in the if line with usbview or dmesg, it's 
manufacturer/product/version without the zero padding

good luck.

Hi,

Just did a server with the same setup (Gigabyte dual xeon mainboard,
based on Intel E7500 chipset, dual 3-ware 8-port ATA-raid with 250GB WD
disks, 1 GB RAM.
I choose for xfs-sources, because it gave me the best options for
optimizing the file system for the ATA raid array's. But you might want
to choose for vanilla-sources if you don't need xfs. Basicly, keep the
kernel as simple as you can (depends on your needs).
APIC is default when you build an SMP kernel, if you need more detail,
there is plenty of documentation on the web.
HT should indeed just work when you run a SMP enabled kernel. On my
Gigabyte board there was no option for HT, I only see 2 processors. (I'
ve heard not all Xeons/P4's have hyperthreading). If the
processors/mainboard support it, I know it works, my personal
workstation at work has a single 2.6 GHz P4 and it behaves like a dual
processor machine.
For make options, look at /etc/make.conf, uncomment the -march=pentium3
line (do not use -march pentium4, you will run into problems).
You will probably use -j3 if only two processors are seen by the
bios/OS.
One good advice: start compiling gentoo form stage 1, on this kind of
hardware it does not take very long to get a basic gentoo system going.
Good luck!

Xeon's in particular.  So I thought I would ask you guys some 
questions
and if all goes well and the system comes up I might write an install
guide for SMP machines.

So here we go:
1) Any kernel variation suggestions and what should I enable/disable?
2) What is the deal with APIC?
3) What are the proper make settings (j8?)
4) I have booted once from the live cd (smp-noapic nofb) and only saw
two processors in proc.  Is this normal given that I have HT enabled 
in
the BIOS?  I thought HT just worked?
5) Anything else anyone thinks might be good to know before I start?

Any config files would be very welcome.

[gentoo-user] Urgent Quick CFLAGS Question!

2003-10-01 Thread Thomas Eastman

I'm about to start installing Gentoo on a new Pentium 4 box.

I need to know if it's safe to use -march=pentium4 in the CFLAGS, or if 
there's still potential problems with sse2 or segfaulting after compiling or 
whatever.

Will the version of gcc that the current livecd has on it be safe with a 
pentium 4?

The sooner I know the sooner I can start installing and play with my new 
computer.

Thanks!
