I had this problem because I was using a dvorak xmodmap file, but it did not properly map the codes to the XF86_* keysyms. My solution was to modify the keymap I was loading, and add the corresponding entries. Leendert -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Can you change to VT1? ctrl+ alt+ F1?n If so, but not to other terminals X is starting before the VT's are spawned. Not sure how to check for that though I can not change to any terminal once in X. Another thing to try Open an xterm (konsole if you're using KDE) and type: setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc101 -layout us -option "" Now try to change to a VT Can you? Typed that in and I was still unable to switch consoles in X If that works, the problem is in your XF86Config. If not, I would guess that your ctrl key is not working, perhaps remapped. Try the shift key instead. Do the function keys work for their other uses in X? (example: alt + F2 should bring up the "run command" dialog and ctrl + F1-4 should change desktops in X) You can also log on as root and start X can you switch VT's now? Try logging in as root, still no change. CTRL+ALT+BS works. One other possibility, other than a borked keyboard, is that some keyboard toggle has been set. For a while, I couldn't use the number pad regardless of the numlock LED status. It turned out that the combination shift+ alt+ numlock is a toggle for mouse events on the pad. There (may?) be a combination that toggles the ability to use the VT's but I've had no luck finding documentation. I do get this message when X starts: xkbcomp reports Type "Two-level" has 2 levels but has three arguments. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] [OT] LVM move troubles
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys, My turn for an off topic plee for help :) LVM, I know what it does, and why to use it (which is why I'm using it, duh :)), but it's still all a bit of a mystery. Currently I have this setup: Server: /dev/hdb 80gig maxtor, working /dev/hde 60gig deathstar, need to ask? :P development-sources, lvm2 As one big LV, formatted XFS Desktop: /dev/hdb 200gig maxtor, replacement for deathstar ck-sources, lvm formatted ext3 Once I've rescued as much as I can I will be ripping out the dead drive and putting the new one in. I'm aware that lvm2 can read lvm metadata, so I should just be able to copy the configuration across. But, I want to move the drives to a different controller, obviously changing their address. The new 200gig drive already has 153gigs of stuff on it, so funky lvm moves and add/removes can't happen. Then what configuration I can find is in binary files, so I can't even edit those :( Can anyone give me some hints on a method to achieve this? Or am I going to have to borrow a 200gig drive from work on monday?

A bit late on this, but you can setup dhcpcd to execute a script when a
machines ip is updated. Just add "-c /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe" to your
dhcpcd_eth0="" variable in /etc/conf.d/networks. Then every time dhcpcd
receives an update it will run the script dhcpcd-eth0.exe with the path
to the new info file and some other parameters (they're in the man
page).
The info files are setup as VAR="value" so you can just source $1 in the
script to get the new info, then you can do things like:
if [ ${DHCPSHADDR} = "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" ]; then
#mount nfs shares/samba shares here
fi
Just put your dhcp servers mac address in for "XX:XX..." and it will run
the code whenever eth0's ip is modified by dhcp. There are a few
caveats, but that is the basic idea. If anyone has questions, let me
know and I'll write up something with more in depth examples.

I have the same problem with my Geforce2 Go on my laptop with the actual driver version nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3. I do not have the problem with any older driver like nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r3.

Normally, you start kde with /usr/kde/3.1/bin/startkde. When you examine the first line $ head -1 /usr/kde/3.1/bin/startkde #!/bin/sh --login you see, that bash is started a login shell, so /etc/profile is sourced, but on a "dumb" terminal. Let us have a look into this file, you can find some lines which look like if [ "$TERM" != 'dumb' ] && [ -n "$BASH" ] then export PS1='\[\033[01;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[01;34m\]\W\$\[\033[00m\]' fi Now, PS1 is still not set. After starting a terminal emulation, bash is started not as login shell, so only ~/.bashrc is sourced. This is the correct behaviour, because you logged in with starting kde. Maybe you should define your own PS1 in ~/.bash_profile, which is sources too with starting kde, or change the above mentioned lines to something without [ "$TERM" != 'dumb' ].

[gentoo-user] gimp printing question
For my business, (I make inlaid mosaic table tops) I do some layouts in gimp that are larger than the page my printer can handle. With windows based apps in the past, I've been able to force say, photoshop or autocad to print full scale resulting in the file being printed to 2 or 4 or more pages which I can then tape together for my full size layout. I have not been able to accomplish this in the gimp. The print command gives me sliders and dialog boxes that will not allow me to print at any scale that would not fit on a single page. Does anyone know of a way around this? From a search of gimp-user list archives, it doesn't look like this is possible but there was a suggestion to use OpenOffice. Some pointers or ideas would be appreciated. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm pretty sure when I first installed gentoo, the bash prompt looked
correct but after some time, following an upgrade, the bash prompt
changed to its default.
After doing some research, I found something had changed in /etc/profile
(I think) that caused this and the best solution I found best was adding
this to .bash_profile:
[ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile

Re: [gentoo-user] OT migration to Linux
Of the migrations I have been asked to consult on, all have ended up being very company specific. There has been common ground, such as what to do with office documents and what to browse the web with, but the bulk of the work has been looking in detail at a specific companies existing IT requirements and how best to duplicate/replace those environments with open source alternatives. My best advice would be to contact a few local companies and see if any would like a free migration report. You can then study a real company and provide a very specific detailed report. IMO this will be of much greater value both to you and the company involved than just providing a hit list of common pros and cons. The other suggestion I would make is that you try to stay genuinely impartial to the final results. Its no good for anyone if you over zealously promote open source when in reality it is not going to be suitable.

However, the grsecurity patch is an all or none approach: either you deny writing to all of /dev/kmem, /dev/mem, and /dev/port, or you deny writing to none.

My fan went out on my northbridge a while back when I had windows on the machine, but windows never locked up. I formatted and tried to install gentoo from stage 1. It would start compiling and freeze soon after. When I underclocked, everything ran fine. Since then I have bought a better hsf for my processor and better cooling for my northbridge. The problem still exists. My next guess is to try some better memory which I now have, I just need to install it. The optimal fsb of my system is 333mhz and currently I have DDR266 PC2100 in there. When I underclock, I set my fsb to 266mhz. So I am now thinking that the memory is a problem. I have been running it at a higher clock than rated when I was running windows and it didn't mind but gentoo does. I'll get this memory installed in the next couple of days and let you know if it helped. Good luck. Robert F Donnelly -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] [Q] usb - keyboard and mouse
The manual on how to set up a desktop may be your best resource here. I got the below info from: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml Kevin Configuring a USB Mouse A USB mouse is your friend on a high resolution screen. The kernel takes care of the scaling so you don't have to move your mouse five times across the pad to make it across the screen. The first thing that has to be done is the installation of the kernel modules. The modules that will be needed for a USB mouse to work are usbmouse, mousedev, hid, usbcore, usb-uhci, and input. After the necessary kernel configuration is done, insmod the modules. Note: Use either usbmouse OR hid. If you install both, mouse will stop working. Note: When configuring the Input Core support for the mouse, make sure to enter the screen resolution that you will be using in X. This makes the scaling all pretty and correct. Now, unplug the mouse, and plug it back in, and check your kernel log for a message that looks something like this Code listing 2.6: Kernel Message hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2 input0,hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical] on usb1:2.0 Now that the mouse is detected, check /dev/input to make sure that your mouse is there and working. Code listing 2.7: Checking for USB Mouse # cd /dev/input # cat mice Move your mouse when you cat the device, you should see a lot of garbage. To exit, simply press control-C. Once the mouse is properly detected and installed, now we have to tell X to use the USB mouse. All that is required here is a slight change to what device X uses for the mouse. Code listing 2.8: Editing XF86Config # cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config.working # nano -w /etc/X11/XF86Config Code listing 2.9: Pointer section of XF86Config Section "InputDevice" # Identifier and driver Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol""IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Okay, restart X, and the mouse should be working! Don't forget to add the modules that your mouse uses to modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4. Code listing 2.10: Adding entries to modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 # nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 # We will add the following lines to the file. mousedev hid usbcore input - On Friday 03 October 2003 02:55 pm, YOON.

Check your CPU fan speed (should not be below 5000RPM) and make sure your cables are routed sanely in your computer. It could also be slightly bad RAM, which I don't think memtest86 can check thoroughly enough to cause to overheat. Some other things to try: There's a program called cpuburn, which is supposed to stress out your cpu. A few other diagnostics are available in app-benchmarks. Underclock your machine, see if problems stop. If so, get a better cpu fan/heat sink. If you have multiple sticks of RAM, remove one at a time until problems stop. Another possibility is if your power supply is starting to go bad, and will overheat from the higher power draw of heavy cpu load. Check your power supply fan. And on that subject, get a can of compressed air and a small brush and clean out all the dust from your computer, especially in the power supply and the heat sinks. This is something you should do regularly anyway. You're lucky that you can cause a computer lockup to repeat regularly - makes it much easier to fix. -- Marshal Newrock, unemployed Linux user in Lansing, MI Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Next time it happens, reboot imediately and go into your bios and check the temps. You also can try to prove that this is the case by removing the cover from the case and making sure that there is air circulation around the box. A fan blowing air at the open case will help. The second biggest reason for freezes durring long compiles is bad memory. Google for memtest86 and either install it as a boot choice that can be started from grub, or burn it to a CD and boot to it. Run the tests for at least a half hour, prefferably at least as long as it takes for the machine to freeze and see what happens. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Well, if it seems that ~/.bash_profile is trying to source ~/.bashrc then you should check your ~/.bash_profile . My ~/.bash_profile (which is gentoo default) looks like this: start here # /etc/skel/.bash_profile: # $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/skel/.bash_profile,v 1.10 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $ # This file is sourced by bash when you log in interactively. [ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc end here (the line after "$Header" has been broken by my mailer.) So as you can see, the last line checks whether ~/.bashrc is present and then sources it. That's why you create an infinite loop. There is also no point in sourcing ~/.bash_profile in ~/.bashrc since ~/.bashrc is read every time you start an interecetive shell (start a terminal emulator like xterm or eterm or Konsole in KDE, etc.) and ~/.bash_profile only when you start a login shell, which happens in most cases when you login at a virtual console (or start bash with "-l" or "--login"). Since I want to see the changes _immediately_ I only change ~/.bashrc and source it from ~/.bash_profile for the rare cases when I login at a console. Cheers, Renat -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] [Q] usb - keyboard and mouse
Hi, all! I really need to use usb keboard and mouse in my system. When my box boots, they are recognized and work well under BIOS and WindowsXP. But after the box gets booted under Gentoo-LiveCD, then the usb keyboard and mouse are gone. I even wonder whether they are recognized. The gentoo is RC4 (or RC5) and the kernel is 2.4.22. Could you give me a hint on what I am missing in my configurations.

Re: [gentoo-user] bash_profile
Hey Tom, I've been wondering the same thing ever since I installed Gentoo. This must have to do with how the Gentoo install doc walks you through initial install. I use KDM and login into KDE as my desktop. >From inside of KDE when I open a console terminal the console terminal always has the >generic line of: bash-2.05b$ No matter where I'm at in the directory Tree. If I "su" its the same thing but ofcourse the "$" is replaced with the "#" sign. This didn't really bother me at first until I noticed that I was always having to "pwd" to figure out which directory I was in.. and having to ". /etc/profile" to get somethings to work properly. Kindof annoying. Now if I ". /etc/profile", I get a nice colorful new bash prompt "deadmeat jbanks #" of which I was used to see'ing all the time before going to Gentoo distro. So now I have "machine name" + "current directory" for the shell command prompt and everything is peachee. What I don't understand is "from reading the ", and how I'm setup(login wise) from boot to getting to KDE desktop what bash is doing. Is this (interactive, non-interactive, what???)Not knowing, So, I did this: I added this to ~.bashrc . /etc/profile if [ -r ~/.bash_profile ]; then . ~/.bash_profile fi This didn't work and anytime I open another console window it would be blank and non-responsive. So I did this to trouble shoot and added this to see what was happening: echo 1 . /etc/profile echo 2 if [ -r ~/.bash_profile ]; then . ~/.bash_profile fi echo 3 And got: 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 So it would seem that ~/.bash_profile is trying to source ~/.bashrc for some reason, making it create an infinite loop. Now remeber I haven't done anything special configuration wise except for following the ~x86 Gentoo Install doc. I just don't have enough experience to know what to do or understand why this is happening. Tom I hope this helps get someone on this forum to give us some explanation as to why this is happening and what todo. I would assume that this happens to anyone that follows the install doc.. No? And just knows what todo to remedy the problem. NO?

Re: [gentoo-user] imhangul users / asian language users
after some experimentation, i'm able to input korean characters into gedit, but not mozilla web forms (as used in bulletin boards or web based email). 1) emerge -S korea 2) emerge all unmasked packages that appear on this list. (i installed "ami", but it may not be necessary.) 3) emerge imhangul ; emerge imhangul_status_applet 4) add imhangul_status_applet to your gnome panel. (you may have to log out, log in for it to be visible.) 5) right click on the applet and select "about". write down the url for the website (this may be useful in the future) ; this website has the documentation for imhangul (in korean). 6) open gEdit and right click on area where you input text. in the menu that just opened, there should be an item to select input. select hangul 2bul or something like that. 7) start typing korean. (this may require you to press shift-space. you will notice that the imhangul_status_applet will be populated with "A" or korean characters. that is the mode that you are typing in.) i haven't gotten it to work with mozilla web forms, so if you want to send web based emails in korean, then: 8) copy (ctrl-c) the text that you just typed into gedit. 9) start mozilla, log into web based email. 10) click on the link that composes a new email. 11) change coding for the page to "Korean (UHC)". the page should reload and the english fonts should change in appearance. 12) paste (ctrl-v) and address teh email to yourself. send the email. 13) view the email. if you can't see it in korean, then change coding of the page to "Korean (UHC)". you should be able to view the characters. if not, then check to make sure that the preferences for mozilla (navigator-languages) have the korean language included. interestingly, these instructions work both in the Englsih (American) and Korean locale for gnome.

Not sure how to check for that though Another thing to try Open an xterm (konsole if you're using KDE) and type: setxkbmap -rules xfree86 -model pc101 -layout us -option "" Now try to change to a VT Can you? If that works, the problem is in your XF86Config. If not, I would guess that your ctrl key is not working, perhaps remapped. Try the shift key instead. Do the function keys work for their other uses in X? (example: alt + F2 should bring up the "run command" dialog and ctrl + F1-4 should change desktops in X) You can also log on as root and start X can you switch VT's now? One other possibility, other than a borked keyboard, is that some keyboard toggle has been set. For a while, I couldn't use the number pad regardless of the numlock LED status. It turned out that the combination shift+ alt+ numlock is a toggle for mouse events on the pad. There (may?) be a combination that toggles the ability to use the VT's but I've had no luck finding documentation. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Here's the funny part about decreasing TTL - you have to wait for the old TTL to expire for the server to pick up the new TTL. So until your old TTL expires, it won't pick up the new record, including the new TTL. For domain migrations, it's recommended that you decrease your TTL way before the actual migration - I've heard (2*TTL) as a good number. So if your TTL is eight days, you should decrease your TTL 16 days before migration. At that point, you should drop it to 24 hours or less, depending on your migration strategy. Your authoritative TTL appears to be 172800 seconds, or two days. So two days after its' last refresh, the root nameserver should pick up your changes. ---Patrick M [EMAIL PROTECTED]:3784715-- Quote of the Week: "I probably won't start on the idea, and if I do it will wind up being an unfinished project on my personal website featuring pictures of my cat." rh2600 on /. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] glibc broken, and some blabbering about other stuff
don't panic, it's my own fault :p
right.
Situation:
I have an old laptop (p133, 32MB, 1.4G HD, no cdrom), and was quite
happy to have managed to get gentoo on it. Using distcc, building
packages was somewhat bearable.
Why o why did I do this:
I thought I'd give building binary packages a try. I did not fancy the
idea of building gcc en glibc on the laptop again (it's been a while
since i did a emerge world -u), even tho I used distcc.(1)
So I built it on my Athlon. CFLAGS used to be "-march=athlon-tbird -O2
-pipe -fomit-frame-pointer", so I changed it to "-march=pentium -O2
-pipe -fomit-frame-pointer", which are the ones I used on the laptop.
'env-update' and 'source /etc/profile' to be sure the environment was up
to date and then 'emerge glibc gcc -B'. Then I rsynced the binary
packages to the laptop and did 'emerge gcc -uk'.
And then it went all wrong. No matter what I did, I ended up with an
'illegal instruction'. The laptop was as dead as a dodo.
And now I think I know why. I never bothered to look at the CHOST
setting on the athlon box. I still don't know *exactly* what it means or
does. (anyone care to explain?)
Or is it something else?
All this being said. How do I get a new glibc on the laptop? (4)
Any comments on anything are greatly appreciated.
thanks
nessie
(1)
I would have compiled everything by mounting the root over nfs on the
other box, but nfs was being a pain in the neck all of a sudden ("RPC:
Program not registered"(2), although I never changed anything. The
router has been a serious pain in the neck these last few days too, so
that might be it(3). *sigh*.)
Besides, building everything on the other box over nfs is not feasible
for all packages, especially the really big ones like xfree, because of
limited diskspace. If needed, I mount /var/tmp/portage over nfs on the
laptop. I then once tried mounting the root back on the other box, but
nfs doesn't seem to 'recursively' mount. bugger.(is there a way to make
it do that?)
(2)
The athlon box had nfs-utils-1.0.6 and the laptop had nfs-utils-1.0.3.
Could that be it?
(3)
The router(SMC Barricade 7004BR) acting funny might be because of a
possibly virus and worm infested winxp box which I have disconnected
from the network, but that did not fix it. Also, I may have done
one-too-many firmware upgrades. The damn thing won't downgrade.
(4)
I originally used slackware and/or redhat bootdisks to install gentoo.
So I have reiserfs + network support. Not being able to boot from cd is
a real pain, I know.

[gentoo-user] boot and reiserfs
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I cannot boot using reiserfs as root filesystem (in fstab /dev/hda3 is mounted as / with reiserfs with noatime option, 0 0). I got message while going to maintenance mode stating: fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/hda3 exited with signal 6. and bread: Cannot read the block (XX): (Input/output error) So I booted to Knoppix and did reiserfsck --fix-fixable (I am assuming that while I have new harddrive no --rebuild-tree option is needed), it didn't find any error at all.

I think you need xfree-drm or something like that. I can't remember the correct package name, becuase I use NVidia GFX-card. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The paper shows how to add modules into a kernel even if it is statical and you have removed insmod. So whatever "gain" you got from disabling modules is gone again. //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus! Please copy me into your .signature!

Does anybody know a good cdrecord graphical frontend that uses gtk2.x? Seems to me that gcombust, gtoaster and xcdroast only work with gtk1.x. Thanks Davide -- Windows would look better with curtains. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] USB mass storage problem
Hi all, I'm trying to get a USB hard drive enclosure to work. It is an old disk I had laying around and I decided to use it to back up some data. Anywho, to make a long story short when I plug it in I get the following: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:1d.1-2 address 4 hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.1-2, assigned address 5 scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: WDC AC21 Model: 200H Rev: 0811 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 2503872 512-byte hdwr sectors (1282 MB) /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0:usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout after which all USB devices are frozen. I'm pretty sure I have all the kernel options I need compiled in as my USB CD-RW works fine (USB mass storage, SCSI emulation, SCSI disk support). Well any help would be appreciated. TIA.
