Run etc-update. Type the number of each file that shows up, and 
merge.
If you _know_ you have never edited any of the files left on the

you may choose to use the '-5' option.

I am not very clear of what the advice indicated " then update

etc-update will update all the config files for portage. but make 
backups of files like /etc/make.conf, because -5 option will overwrite 
all the files that etc-update lists. you'll lose your USE variables and 
gentoo mirrors and all otherwise.

[gentoo-user] Permanently set parameters for eth0

[Michael Gruetzner]

Hi,

I need to set my network device from 100MB/Fullduplex to 10MB/Halfduplex.
I use ethtool to set the needed values but when I reboot, they are lost
and my network card is on 100MB/FD again.
Is there a way to store my preffered settings and autoload them when eth0
is comming up or do I have to write a custom start script?

Thanks for any help.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem emerging avidemux

[Petric Frank]

Hello,

answering my own post ...


> i tried to emerge avidemux. It failed with the following error:

[...]

I had instaled gtk+ 1.2.0. After ugrading to 2.2.1 all went well.
I don't know why emerge did not trigger the upgrade himself (the requirement 
was in the *.emerge file of avidemux).

This as hint for others with similar problems ...

Re: [gentoo-user] Missing /dev/sda* entries ???

[Bill Kenworthy]

Came onto this late but:
usb-storage ties itself to an instance so each time you plug/unplug the
cammera, rmmod the stack and re-modprobe it.  Does the camera name show
when you do a cdrecord -scanbus?  Note that it could be /dev/sd[abc](n)
- keeps moving around at times.  My info here - its on a laptop and the
cdwriter came adrift and needs a reboot to recognise it, but the camera
works fine.  I just unplugged the usb-mouse, plugged in the camera and
turned it on and ran the commands below.

Now I figure that install of mod_perl-1.99 which i have include Apache2.pm .  Whats the solution to this problem ?
I struggled with this same problem for 2 weeks. My solution: give up until mod_perl-2.0.



What if I install apache1.3 and the lower version of mod_perl would that solve the problem ?
Its very possible. In my case, it was on a production server that I couldn't afford the 
downtime on.

Run etc-update. Type the number of each file that shows up, and merge.
If you _know_ you have never edited any of the files left on the list,
you may choose to use the '-5' option.

[gentoo-user] Update question

[Stephen Liu]

Hi all folks,

After running

# emerge sync

following advice popup


* An update to portage is available.  It is _highly_recommended
* that you update portage now, before any other packages are updated
* Please do so and then update ALL of your configuration files
My questions are;

1) How to run update portage?  Whether
#emerge -u portage
will do the job
2) How to update ALL configuration files collectively/simultaneously 
afterwords?

Thanks in advance.

i second that.  although, at the same time i wouldn't want to discourage

ModPerl::Registry: Can't locate Apache.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/httpd/perl/webgui/lib /home/httpd/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Apache2 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl . /etc/apache2/ /etc/apache2/lib/perl) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/CGI.pm line 161.

Now I figure that install of mod_perl-1.99 which i have include Apache2.pm .  Whats the solution to this problem ?
I struggled with this same problem for 2 weeks. My solution: give up until mod_perl-2.0.

I'm no expert but it looks to me like USB is working.  Perhaps you need
to make the device nodes for /dev/sd*?  You can find out the details
in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt, for example:
# mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1


I tried to create the device but then when i try to mount the filesystem
i get the following error:
bash-2.05b# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera;
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
Also, I noticed something new.
I don't get the entry /dev/sda* created when i plug the camera but
i get the following trace in syslog:
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:07.2-1 address 3
usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x4a9/0x3075) is not claimed by any active 
driver

The number '4' increases everytime i plug my camera.
So it seems that something happens but this is not enough
for me to be able to create this entry /dev/sda...
I have ben looking on the gentoo forum. I found a lot of similar
threads. I found
- one which said there was a bug in the scsi driver
- one which said we need a module 'hotplug'
- one which says 'usb-uhci' instaed of 'uhci'
(How can i know which one is good for me? uhci or usb-uhci?)
It seems to be a common problem with no generic solution :-(

So I took a little advice from both, downloaded a new copy and ran make oldconfig. I 
am still not able to get this to compile. I get

net/built-in.o(.text+0x536f5): In function 'ipip6_rcv':

and then it dies. If I remove the IP6 option from my config file, it will compile but 
the kernel will still not boot past initializing my CD-RW.

Just FYI a dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 seemed to have
done the trick.  Did that and the 'file not found' errors from grub when
I was doing the 'setup (hd0)' step went away.  Still have to reboot and

It only ruthlessly overwrites if you specifically tell it to do so (the
-3 or -5 options). If you simply type the number of the file to update,
and merge the files, it merges them.

Personally, I merge them manually in a second term while viewing the

No, because I thought that would ruthlessly overwrite my entries with updated

Log out of GNOME2, log in to a console, and edit your $HOME/.gnome2/session
to remove all programs you don't want to open at startup. Retain numbering
starting at 0, and change the num_clients setting at the end.

Log back into GNOME2 and open the Sessions control panel. Remove the
setting to save settings at logout. This ought to fix things for you.

I'm not using Alsa, but I have in the past. You'll have to use some sort of

Try using esd (ulch!) with esddsp. (esddsp program1; esddsp program2)

Bill,
I use threading so I can keep track of what's interesting to me in the

[gentoo-user] QUAKE3 on 2.6.0-test8-mm1 with VIA Chipset...

[Jerry McBride]

If you're into running Quake III Arena locally, you know you can't do with out 
audio!!! 

After moving to the mm-sources for the 2.6.0 series kernel, I've noted some 
serious flakyness with the VIA integrated audio on my favorite MSI Ultra 2 
computer. Being able to have audio was hit or miss up until  2.6.0-test5-mm4 
and then disapeared there after, never to return...

Problems with the integrated audio in the VIA chips seems to be rather 
prevalent with the 2.6.0 kernel and probably quite unrelated to the fact that 
I chose the mm-sources as my 2.6.0 kernel solution. Fact is, there's a lot of 
help on the net that goes along ways for fixing the problem, but none worked 
for me, as well as my solution has. The fixes I found would work, but I would 
experience random lockups that I could easily prove to be caused by flaky 
audio support. Also, mp3 playback was... well... unnerving as the player 
would loose sync at random times and drive me and the family nuts. :')

However. I finally sat down and did my research and got it all straightened 
out now. No more lockups, no more funky audio behavour, etc(tm)...

And here's how...

The skinny is... Compile the kernel with the following sound support turn on 
as modules or built in... all other sound options turned off:

#
# Sound
#
CONFIG_SOUND=y

#
# Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
#
CONFIG_SND=y
CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y
CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=m
CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER=y

#
# Generic devices
#
CONFIG_SND_MPU401=m

#
# PCI devices
#
CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=m

#
# Open Sound System
#
CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME=m
CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX=m
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS=m
CONFIG_SOUND_DMAP=y

After the compile and reboot to the new kernel, modprobe as needed. All I do 
is list snd-via82xx in the 2.6 module config file and no other sound module. 
This one single module will drag in the whole sound setup... Don't believe 
me? Do a lsmod and see for yourself. ;')

Install the alsa devices in /dev. I did this by running the "snddevices" 
script found in an "alsa-driver" tarball. Once the devices are created, move 
to /dev, rm the existing dsp device and "ln -s /dev/adsp0 dsp".

Now, when ever an application calls /dev/dsp, it'll be using the adsp instead.

I lost my notes and the URL, but I believe ALSA refers to /dev/adsp as being 
the alsa oss emulator?

Now the magic, either from the command line or your favorite startup script 
execute:

echo "erase" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "* 0 0 disable" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss

Once you're all done with this, you're ready to play QUAKEIII or listen to 
your favorite audio entertainment

Go get them!

THE FINE PRINT: I only guarentee that this works 100% on my computer. Sorry...

There is only a "3" and "3.1" directory in /usr/kde.  Should there be more?

I came across an interesting problem. Both Abiword and OO can recognize and

in the font pulldown or menus. Something must be misconfigured somewhere, any 
ideas where?

[gentoo-user] cmedia 8738 + bt878, no sound

[Greg Donald]

I have been using Gentoo for about a year now on servers.  Last week I decided
to turn my WinXP system into a dual-boot Gentoo/WinXP setup.  I've since been
installing lots of software and customizing things.  I like to figure stuff out
on my own if I can but I am however currently stumped with a TV tuner software
issue.

I have the Asus a7v333 motherboard with onboard sound, it has the the CMedia
8738 chipset:

> grep audio /proc/pci 
Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 16).

I have a pci TV tuner card with the Brooktree 878 chipset:

> grep Capture /proc/pci 
Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 2).
Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 2).

My sound works great alone, applications like xmms play and all, but I cannot
hear any sound from my TV tuner applications.  I have xawtv and mythtv
installed, both work but with no sound.

Here are my modules currently:
> lsmod
Module  Size  Used byTainted: P  
floppy 47708   0 (autoclean)

nvidia   1627456  11
8139too14632   1
mii 2160   0 [8139too]

I am using the 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 kernel.  I have reconfiured it many different
ways, trying all the related drivers as modules or not.  Nothing I try seems to
work.  I even tried using a generic 2.4.22 kernel over the past couple of days
but am not getting any further.

Anyone know what I might try to change or install or reconfigure to get sound
working with my TV applications?

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] Stop Session Saving

[Matt Neimeyer]

How do I stop the session manager in Gnome 2.4 from remembering
anything?

I want each session to start with nothing open no matter what I was
doing last time. I've tried save-session enabled with nothing open
followed by un-selecting save-session in the hopes of the last saved
session having nothing... I've tried other mixtures of enabled and
disabled session saving and nothing seems to work.

Any advice?

Thanks!

The section he quoted was step 27 of the installation guide.

I think d and p are the device and partition, X and Y are the numerical values 
of those devices and partitions.
If you correctly mounted the "devicetree into the new environment" you should 
see what you need in /dev/ataraid, you gotta love devfs.

Do what it says :)
I use vo=x11 and/or vo=sdl, but try them all, can't hurt.
If you get it working, emerge aalib, then possible reemerge mplayer and use 
vo=aa, it will rock your world :)

That should be cool, given all the MD5-sum checking. Would NFS not do
the right thing, you will get a sensible error and can try again.

Re: [gentoo-user] (Successful)Installing KDE and Xfree problem

In /etc/make.conf is a line for PORT_LOGDIR.  Uncomment it and change it if 
you want the logs elsewhere.

This has nothing to do with syslog-ng.  The orginal poster wanted to log the 
results of a merge.

Seeing the thread was originally about a server environment, I want to add 
just one small possible problem in this scenario. What if two computers are 
trying to fetch the same file at the same time? What happens is that they 
both fail. Just playing the devil's advocate... for the most part, this 
situation is easy to avoid but one must be aware of it before actively 
avoiding...

I don't think you need to add this as a feature. I think that one each 
Gentoo machine you should be able to add an alias or wrapper so that 
`emerge -f somepackage` really calls `emerge -fp somepackage >> 
/path/to/shared/NFS/export/somefile.txt`. Then set up a cron job so 
that every minute the server wgets each line in that somefile.txt.

This needs some tidying & error trapping, but is a reasonable basis to 
work from, I think.

right now.  that is why i have xawtv 
But  why is it not compiling due to xawtv.  which seems to be the last
part that causes it to crash. on compiling of kdemultimedia.

Now i have manually compiled the others  kdeaddons and kdeartwork. that
leaves  kdemultimedia.

any thought on how to force it or do i need to remove xawtv?

first of all: did you run an "emerge win32codecs divx4linux" ?
i prefer xine. run xine, then simply choose VCD from the gui. that's it!
make sure in settings => input => path to your local vcd device file is

Re: [gentoo-user] libquicktime vs quicktime4linux

[Alan]

Check the contents of your plugins directory (both the
/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird one and your $HOME one (not sure where that is
though)) and make sure that the old .so files that are related to
quicktime are out of there.  qpkg -l  should show you where the
files are installed.  At this point I'd almost suggest just nuking the
quicktime4linux or whatever packages you have and getting your browser
up and going, then go with the mplayerplug-in.

Re: [gentoo-user] libquicktime vs quicktime4linux

yes, yes... but the plugin is worthless if the browser doesn't even 
open, saavy?

my problem isn't playing quicktime files, it's that MozillaFirebird is 
seemingly checking the library version and crapping out due to an 
inappropriate version number.

has anyone seen something like this before?

No, I'm not using the RAID feature. My logical volumes (LVM) are striped over

RE: [gentoo-user] i686 or pentium3 ?

[Stuart Stegall]

My laptop is a Celeron 2.4Ghz and in my testing it was a fair bit faster
with -march=pentium4.  BUT!!! Note that the current GCC code produces
bad SSE2 instructions and so Pentium4 should not be used.  So use
penium3 instead (which has sse support unlike i686).

Why?

 

Take a look at www.freehackers.org/gentoo/gccflags/flag_gcc3.html
There you find -march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer as right 
setting for you as the Celeron is based on the P4.

You could even use pentium4 (which would enable SSE2 optimizations).

I happen to be on a Windows box at the moment so I can't verify this...

I recall that I was asked at install time whether I wanted to install the 
extension shared or not.  I also recall a non-obvious response was 
required (Cancel?).

Anyway, I know that I could not get the shared option to work with my 
existing users perms so I tried the "other" option and it worked (Tab

Re: [gentoo-user] i686 or pentium3 ?

[Redeeman]

you would want to use march anyway, if you are looking for most
optimization, but i am not 100% sure if you want pentium3 or i686, i am
99% sure its pentium3 you want, i686 is generic so i am pretty sure, but
dont hang me up on it :-)

[gentoo-user] i686 or pentium3 ?

[Andrej Kacian]

Which setting in CFLAGS is better for intel celeron 2.2ghz - 
"-march=i686 -mcpu=i686" or "-march=pentium3 -mcpu=pentium3"

Why?

Re: [gentoo-user] libquicktime vs quicktime4linux

[Redeeman]

just emerge the mplayer package, it gives you a really good working
quicktime, it is much faster than quicktime pro under windows :-)

[gentoo-user] USB printer module in development-sources

[romildo]

Hello.

I am running sys-kernel/development-sources-2.6.0_beta8,
which I believe has been compiled with support for USB
printers, but I am not able to load the kernel modules
uhci and printer (they are not found by modprobe).

# uname -a
Linux gentoo.malaquias.no-ip.org 2.6.0-test8 #2 Sat Oct 18 21:32:45 BRST 2003 i686 AMD 
Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

# grep -i print /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test8/.config
CONFIG_PRINTER=m
# CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set
CONFIG_USB_PRINTER=m

Maybe the modules have changed its name.

Any clues?

Of course, I want to install them into my home dir. But I don't see how
to do this.

Re: [gentoo-user] Grub setup fails

Yup.  I discovered (by trial and error) that there are some subtleties
to how grub sees disks.  I have both IDE and SCSI hard drives in my
computer.  I installed to the SCSI drive.  However, when I booted the
Gentoo LiveCD (for installation), I had to do a "modprobe sym53c8xxx"
so that Linux could see my SCSI card and disk (my CD-ROM is IDE).
Keep in mind, the IDE drive had already been recognized by Linux.  So
during the install, (hd1,0) was my SCSI drive, and (hd0,0) was my IDE
drive.

My boot order (as configured by the BIOS), is Floppy, IDE CD-ROM,
SCSI.

So when I actually boot the *installed* version of Gentoo, my SCSI
hard drive becomes (hd0,0) and the IDE hard drive becomes (hd1,0).  In
other words, I used (hd0,0) in my grub.conf file.

Fun stuff :)

Re: [gentoo-user] (Successful)Installing KDE and Xfree problem

[brett holcomb]

Hmm, I did a sync this weekend and thought I remembered 
updating /etc/make.conf and seeing the log directory.  I 
do the update to /etc/make.conf by hand.  I'll have to 
check later as I'm not on the Gentoo machines.

root (hd0,0)
is what you need.  That means the first partition on the first disk - it 
doesn't matter that it's scsi.
