What happens when you do 'lpstat -h server' on the client?  Replace server

[gentoo-user] kernel disintegration SOS

2003-10-10 Thread a park

well, i tried to compile modules for ALSA support of my sound card last 
night.  ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml )  i followed the 
instructions and right before the emerge alsa-driver step in the 
instructions, i thought of an idea that may get my nforce2 integrated sound 
to work without using alsa.  so i changed a configuation file and rebooted 
my machine.  it came up, but without sound and NETWORK.  i decided to go 
ahead with the emerge alsa-driver step.  unfortunately, my only copy of the 
instructions was what i was viewing over the internet...

at that point, my wife asked me if she could use the internet.  she isn't 
too keen on linux and i force her to use it.  (no ms windows on my 
computer.)  but she does get very agitated when she can not use the 
computer.  i thought that i could save the sound installation for another 
day.

i decided to re-compile my kernel to start fresh.  after re-compiling, i 
restarted my computer and got to lilo.  after lilo, it displays something 
like:

loading Gentoo_Gaming 
.

but then freezes.

i popped in the gentoo 1.4 cd, emerged gentoo-gaming source, and recompiled. 
 i rebooted and receive the same thing.

i noticed when running genkernel a line with mrproper is displayed.  this 
line is not included in the output example in the gentoo installation 
instructions.  make mrproper is a step in the alsa installation 
directions.  could this be the culprit?

i'm not familiar at all with kernel compiling or module compiling.  at this 
point, i just want to get my computer to work again.  perhaps there is some 
residual stuff that was left over from my botched sound card driver 
installation.

computer information:

gigabyte nforce2 256 MB ram 30 gig hard drive
nvidia GeForce 4400
gentoo-gaming kernel (default)
lilo boot
i used gentoo-gaming because otherwise my computer would have a kernel panic 
in the middle of the boot up sequence.  the gentoo-gaming default kernel was 
working on my machine for several weeks before i decided to mess around with 
the sound.  i didn't change any configuration files other than trying to 
install the sound drivers.

thank you in advance for any and all assistance.

[gentoo-user] gentoo killed my pc - general hardware malfunction

2003-10-10 Thread Roberto Padovani

Hi !

sorry..i haven't being checking the ML for a while.
your problem is rather typical and (as others has already said) it's very 
likely due to the power supply.

checking power availability is first: with every mobo you find a manual where 
you find the minimum required power rating (nowadays PCs require at least 
250Watts on ATX mobo, CRT excluded)

if it's enough and if the system at least tries to boot, you can be sure you 
have +5 and +12 on the line...so, no need to check with a voltmeter.

however, those line could be the weak point. the fact is that every mobo 
requires a DC voltage, but no ps is able to provide it exactly.
from the plug in the wall you get an AC at 50Hz , 230Volts (in Europe) or 125V 
(or so.., in USA) and your PS job is to convert this alternate current in a 
DC one, but there will always be a residual AC component over the DC output.
For those unaccustomed to electrical stuff, there are two pictures attached to 
this post.
Now, if for ANY reason, your ps started giving out a DC voltage with a strong 
superimposed oscillation, then you mobo and hw are going to fail in a rather 
unpredictable way 
Unfortunately, checking with a voltmeter, you'll always read 5V and/or 12V 
because that simple instrument is NOT able (in its basic form of usage) to 
show you the AC components.
For those interested, you should check with an oscilloscope ( AC-coupling 
mode, detecting peak voltage) or a spectrum analyzer.

Example of reason why a fuxxing ps might leave unattenuated AC components:
- lightenings
- age
- nuclear explosions
- e-granade bombing
- electricity-society people at work in your last-mile net
- Murphy's Law

Finally, my suggestion is to change your ps (repairing is rather not worth tha 
cosi, if it's not self-done).

Just to let all of this be more useful for everyone, the most common cause of 
wierd hardware behaviour is the power supply ! So, check it out !!

nice hw hacking to everyone,

make mrproper is a thorough cleaning of the kernel tree - it wipes
out everything, including the .config file. It's sometimes necessary to
ensure that you don't have artifacts from old configurations... I can't

I don't think so. It scrubs the kernel build tree, not the /lib/modules
directory where drivers are installed. That is scrubbed (or not scrubbed)
when you install kernel modules, depending on what command you ran to
install the modules.

[gentoo-user] Installing without CDs

2003-10-10 Thread A. S. Budden

Hi there,

I'm hoping to install Gentoo onto my laptop.  It's a sony vaio
PCG-R600HEP with a docking station that contains a firewire CDRW/DVDROM
and a floppy drive.  It's also got a network card etc.

I have tried various ways of getting the installation started but have
failed every time.  However I boot, whichever boot options I pass to the
acpi kernel, it starts booting and then fails with the message shown
at the bottom.

As well as every option I could think of for booting from the Gentoo CD,
I've made a CD of Knoppix, but this fails as well, unable to find the
CD.

In the past I've managed to install Redhat 9 (not on the computer
anymore -- I did a complete restart with the windows recovery disc that
came with it and then shrunk the windows partition down to 3GB with
partition magic), but I did that by using the boot floppy that came with
it and then installing by ftp from another computer on the local
network.

Since Gentoo is supposed to be a network installed system anyway, is
this possible?  I couldn't find any bootdisk images and the only
references I've seen on the web talk about using slackware to get it
started.  Is it necessary to use a four disk system?  I don't even own
four floppy disks!  Is there an easier way?

Many thanks for any pointers,

Al

Re: [gentoo-user] Installing without CDs

2003-10-10 Thread Gustav_Schaffter






I've found the Slackware path being a 'very simple' way of getting Gentoo
installed on some of my more hardware-challenged computers. Initially I
resisted, thinking that Gentoo should be able to do this on it's own, and
that I don't want to learn yet another distro, but finally I gave in. ;-)
Slackware rocks for this purpose. (Not to say that it's less good in other
areas.)


BTW, I found http://www.kerstner.org/tutorials/gentoo_floppyinstall.html to
be very helpful. (It's not an absolute step-by-step guide, but very close.)


And yes, four empty floppies cannot be that hard to find. Look in your old
drawers. Look in some old socks in your wardrobe. (Doh!) Old diskettes tend
to lay around in the most remarkble spots in your house. Even if only some
of them works with format today, you will surely come up with enough to get
four working floppies. And then, you will clean out some old ones that
don't work any more to the dust bin.

If you really, really, really do not have any floppies at home any more,
then you might just go out and buy a set. They are quite cheap these days.

Hi there,

I'm hoping to install Gentoo onto my laptop.  It's a sony vaio
PCG-R600HEP with a docking station that contains a firewire CDRW/DVDROM
and a floppy drive.  It's also got a network card etc.

I have tried various ways of getting the installation started but have
failed every time.  However I boot, whichever boot options I pass to the
acpi kernel, it starts booting and then fails with the message shown
at the bottom.

As well as every option I could think of for booting from the Gentoo CD,
I've made a CD of Knoppix, but this fails as well, unable to find the
CD.

In the past I've managed to install Redhat 9 (not on the computer
anymore -- I did a complete restart with the windows recovery disc that
came with it and then shrunk the windows partition down to 3GB with
partition magic), but I did that by using the boot floppy that came with
it and then installing by ftp from another computer on the local
network.

Since Gentoo is supposed to be a network installed system anyway, is
this possible?  I couldn't find any bootdisk images and the only
references I've seen on the web talk about using slackware to get it
started.  Is it necessary to use a four disk system?  I don't even own
four floppy disks!  Is there an easier way?

Many thanks for any pointers,

Al

No :(

As you can see I have defaults in my fstab
defaults should not be used with other options.  defaults is just a

So either have _just_ defaults, _or_ noatime, notail, etc.

2003-10-10 Thread Frank R Callaghan

I am using an www.embeddedx86.com TS-5300 with rtia 24.1.11  2.4.19
it works great I even got the MTD driver working with the onboard flash
but I could not get 2.4.20 to work, as soon as I insmoded the rtai modules it
would segfault :( I tried sending requests to various groups but since the
segfault was in the kernel and the kernel group guys don't use rtai I had no
luck and was forced to go back to 2.4.19.
If you get 2.4.19 working please let me know ;)

Cheers,
Frank.

whatever it defaults to.

anymore -- I did a complete restart with the windows recovery disc that
came with it and then shrunk the windows partition down to 3GB with
partition magic), but I did that by using the boot floppy that came with
it and then installing by ftp from another computer on the local
network.

Since Gentoo is supposed to be a network installed system anyway, is
this possible?  I couldn't find any bootdisk images and the only
references I've seen on the web talk about using slackware to get it
started.  Is it necessary to use a four disk system?  I don't even own
four floppy disks!  Is there an easier way?

Many thanks for any pointers,

Al

[gentoo-user] devfsd question

2003-10-10 Thread Ian Truelsen

I have two sound cards, but only one of them gets an entry in
/dev/sound. Should devfsd not create an entry for the other card as
well? I am using alsa for both cards and they are both working fine.

Is there something that I need to do in, say devfsd.conf, to have an
entry in /dev/sound for the second card?

/dev/sound is the oss compatability for ALSA, isnt it? Does oss support  
multiple sound cards?

I would think in /dev/snd (or whatever alsa regularly uses) you would  
have multiple entries.

Are you using ALSA?  If so you need to setup /etc/?/alsa 
for two cards.  The ? means I can't remember off the top 
of my head what the subdirectory is.

[gentoo-user] problem installing cyrus-sasl

2003-10-10 Thread gentoo

I'm trying to install sendmail.  One of it's requirements is
cyrus-sasl.  The package keeps failing for me when I try to emerge
it.  Below is a few of the last lines of the emerge log, followed by
a shar file containing the entire log.  I tried emerging pam_krb5 in
hopes that this would fix the problem (my guess at what was wrong
based on all the krb5_ error messages), but it didn't help.

For the unenlightedned, here's how to get the log file from this email.
save the entire email to a file on your linux box (I'll call the file
email as an example).  Edit email with your favorite text editor
and delete all the lines from the top of the file to the
#!/bin/sh line, so that this line is the top of the file.  Save
and exit and run sh ./email. This will put a file in your /tmp
directory called 302-cyrus-sasl-2.1.14.log.gz.  gunzip that and there's
your log file.  Sorry if this is a pain, but it was a 57k file before
I zipped it up.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] Dual boot question

2003-10-10 Thread Monah Baki

Hi all,

I'm trying to dual boot gentoo with freebsd, I installed freebsd first, then as I was 
partioning my 
HDD, I noticed gentoo's device boot was labeled (/dev/hdc2p1, hdc2p2 and hdc2p3) 
Freebsd 
was hdc1. I wanted to enable ext3 on hdc2p1 but the system responded with 
The device apparently does not exist, and I checked /dev which was true. 

Any suggestions??

Re: [gentoo-user] devfsd question

2003-10-10 Thread Simon Mushi

Hey Ian,

Ahait took me 2 months (well on an off :) ) to figure out how to get
my gentoo box talking to the two sound cards (an SBLIve! and an SB
AUdioPCI) in my system via alsa. But I
think it was all damn worth it. I plan to use the box as a dj mixing
station and with my mixing coming around this weekend I think I'm gonna
have the neighbours pissed at me for a while...anyway...this is kinda what
you need to do:

1. Compile alsa with support for both sound cards...I am assumning both
your cards are suported? Which cards d'u have in there.
2. Edit the /etc/modules.d/alsa file to include device references ..such 
as /dev/dsp2 and /dev/mixer2 etc to the
new card...there is some sort a skeleton outline to follow for multi-cards
in there...but some parts of it were not that clear...i'll send u mine
when I get a chance...maybe tonight.
3. Run modules-update
4. Restart devfsd
5. Pray that the device nodes dsp2 and mixer2 are created ... i did and
they weren't but u may be lucky ... as I did some other stuff that made
this not so striuaghtforward.
6. If 5 failed then you need to create the new nodes manually (some
alsa-dev posting discussed the fact the there is something wacky with the
soundcore.o and devfs and something or otherIf you get this far I'll
send the manual dev node creating commands that you need. They are
online also...somewhere on the alsa-project website...I don;t remember
where though.

Best of luck,

Simon

You've got it backwards. Gentoo is on /dev/hdc1. FreeBSD's partitions 
are hdc2p[123].

Well I have used qpkg in the past, but completly forgot about it this
time. It doesn't look good. Seems as though emerge wnet through all of
the motions of compiling and installing bitchx but didn't for some
reason.

bash-2.05b# qpkg --list bitchx
net-irc/bitchx-1.0.19-r6 *
CONTENTS:

As you can see no files. Just for a test I did the same with xchat,
mozilla and both came back with a nice list of what was installed. I
guess this is a bug? I can file it on the gentoo bugzilla page, but
before I do... Is anyone else seeing this issue?

RE: [gentoo-user] Re: Where the heck is Bitchx?

I suggest a emerge bitchx  output.txt.. Something tells me that its erroring out but 
not realizing it. openmosix-user did this to me when I was trying to figure out one 
day where my mtop was.. I had forgot to change the linux symbol and the configure was 
failing. For some reason, emerge doesn't always detect this. It then went ahead and 
installed openmosix-user with nothing. Which is what you got..

  Weekly Newsletter has the solution: qpkg. Among other useful things,
  qpkg can tell you what files were installed by a particular 
 ebuild with
  'qpkg --list name of ebuild'. No more sending the output 
 of emerge to
  a file!
  
  Thank you, GWN!
  
  -Eamon
 
 Well I have used qpkg in the past, but completly forgot about it this
 time. It doesn't look good. Seems as though emerge wnet through all of
 the motions of compiling and installing bitchx but didn't for some
 reason.
 
 bash-2.05b# qpkg --list bitchx
 net-irc/bitchx-1.0.19-r6 *
 CONTENTS:
 
 As you can see no files. Just for a test I did the same with xchat,
 mozilla and both came back with a nice list of what was installed. I
 guess this is a bug? I can file it on the gentoo bugzilla page, but
 before I do... Is anyone else seeing this issue?

I wasn't getting very far. I wasn't able to compile it from the SRPM,

use the redhat 9.0 install CD which boots fine and choose emergency, this will allow you to boot into linux, create a new paritition ofr gentoo and then you can download the stage3 tar file and follow the instructions from there on, no need for a gentoo cd!

Hi there,

I'm hoping to install Gentoo onto my laptop.  It's a sony vaio
PCG-R600HEP with a docking station that contains a firewire CDRW/DVDROM
and a floppy drive.  It's also got a network card etc.

I have tried various ways of getting the installation started but have
failed every time.  However I boot, whichever boot options I pass to the
acpi kernel, it starts booting and then fails with the message shown
at the bottom.

As well as every option I could think of for booting from the Gentoo CD,
I've made a CD of Knoppix, but this fails as well, unable to find the
CD.

In the past I've managed to install Redhat 9 (not on the computer
anymore -- I did a complete restart with the windows recovery disc that
came with it and then shrunk the windows partition down to 3GB with
partition magic), but I did that by using the boot floppy that came with
it and then installing by ftp from another computer on the local
network.

Since Gentoo is supposed to be a network installed system anyway, is
this possible?  I couldn't find any bootdisk images and the only
references I've seen on the web talk about using slackware to get it
started.  Is it necessary to use a four disk system?  I don't even own
four floppy disks!  Is there an easier way?

Many thanks for any pointers,

Al

Re: [gentoo-user] nforce2, ATI, agpgart, and DRI

2003-10-10 Thread Javier Villavicencio

I was having the same problem for my oldie matroxg200 and a new kernel version (but i 
don't remember what version :+) that agpgart wasn't automatically loaded. Then for 
that kernel I compiled agpgart inside the kernel, enabled the DRI interface but no DRM 
moduels compiled at all, or just as modules, after that I emerged the lastest 
xfree-drm (-r6 maybe?), modprobe mga (in your case radeon maybe) after rebooting with 
the new kernel with agpgart compiled in, and xfree was working again.

I haven't this problem with recent (gs-sources/pfeifer-sources/2.6) kernels. But I was 
playing with my girlfriend nforce2 (ABIT Nforce2 + serialata) so this is where my 
experience on this area comes, (maybe is a problem loading the agpgart on this 
chipset, don't know at all) compiled in agpgart, worked fine.

Greetings.

How could I set limits on how much CPU, memory, procs, that my users can run?

And also, can quotas be used with ReiserFS?

Regards,
Carlos.

[gentoo-user] USB Memory Stick Problems

2003-10-10 Thread Jordan Elver

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble with my USB memory stick. I have all the correct 
kernel modules loaded and I can mount the memory stick as a mass storage 
device. That's all fine.

The problem is that it shows up as a different scsi device each time I plug it 
in. Sometimes it is /dev/sdb1, sometime /dev/sdd1 etc. How can I make it 
appear as the same entry in /dev each time?

TIA,
Jord
