[gentoo-user] Firewire and USB Device Detection

2003-11-15 Thread Kent Jantz
Well I'm going to take another stab at this and see if I can find a 
solution to my problem.

I'm running the 2.6.0 test9 mm-sources kernel. I have 2 external storage 
devices, a Maxtor 80GB Firewire Drive and a 32MB USB Pen Drive. I want 
to assign these to a specific scsi hosts sdc and sdd(sda and sdb belong 
to my DVD Drive and CDRW Drive thru scsi emulation). I've tried using 
this in my grub.conf:

scsihosts=ide-scsi,ide-scsi,usb-storage,sbp2

Usb-storage is my pen drive and sbp2 is my Firewire drive. I've varied 
the order of the hosts with no luck. Is there another way I can assign 
hosts? I've tried compiling firewire and usb storage into my kernel and 
as modules, no change. When I used the 2.4 kernel and it modprobed the 
firewire modules at boot up it assigned the firewire drive a scsi host 
even when I didn't have it connected to the computer making it 
predictable for Me to assign specific scsi hosts, the 2.6 kernel doesn't 
do this. Is there a way I can assign scsi hosts other than the 
scsihosts=host1,host2,... command or am I going to have to do manually?

The fact that Windows can do this so easy really irks Me.

Thanks,
Kent

In my previous mail:

              Preserve as much as possible of the structure and attributes  of
              the  original  files  in the copy (but do not preserve directory

-a is just shorthand for -dpR

That certainly makes it harder.  You didn't mention that physical
access was limited in this way before, right?

Do you have MAGIC_SYSRQ compiled into your kernel?  If
so, it is possible to reboot the machine, and then if whatever
you have installed in the MBR doesn't prevent it somehow, it
would be possible to boot up with init=/bin/sh, thereby providing
root access without the need for a password.

Does the closet door have one of those standard inside latches
that can be easily forced open with a credit card?

From the cp man page:

  Preserve as much as possible of the structure and attributes  of
  the  original  files  in the copy (but do not preserve directory
  structure).  Equivalent to -dpR.

I did a test and it works fine. The command you'll want is:
cp -a /mnt/gentoo/var/* /mnt/gentoo/newvar

Be aware, however, that this will probably not copy .* files in the top-level 
directory, in this case /mnt/gentoo/var.

Instead of booting of a CD, you can also pass the "single" option to the 
kernel, which will boot up and drop you to a root shell before switching to 
the "default" runlevel. That way permissions listed with ls will be the 
proper users rather than numbers.

[gentoo-user] ? Recommended 802.11b pcmcia or usb ?

2003-11-15 Thread Heitzso
I've tried two pcmcia cards after doing some research and
have problems with both.  First was d-link 650 which used
to be prism2 and supposed to work but newer ones are no
longer prism & require proprietary drivers. 

Took that back and picked up netgear
but the newer netgear pcmcia 802.11b is also no longer
prism2 but realtek.  I tried downloading and building the
realtek driver but it didn't work.  I _really_ want to avoid
proprietary object code that close to the kernel so plan on
taking it back tomorrow.
The store I got the other two at also has the Microsoft USB
802.11b standalone gizmo.  I'm allergic to MSoft but if that's
the way to go, so be it.
I could also drive an hour and go to a bigger computer store
in Atlanta for some other brand/model. 

So, what works well with gentoo (802.11b wise)?

Or please point me to a forum/web page that's up to date.

Hmmm... Just checked out kdemultimedia-3.2.0-beta1.ebuild. The commented 
depend on alsa-lib has been completely removed, yet the alsa use flag is 
checked and the configure parameters updated accordingly. i.e. if this is the 
first emerged package to use alsa, it will die.

I have the alsa use flag set and already had alsa-lib installed, however, and 
the build went fine and is showing ALSA in the control panel so I guess all 
is well. The ebuild bug should be fixed before it is unmasked.

I'm not sure multiple *dm sessions would count as "fast user switching".
Ideally, the user would still have a choice of running a display
manager, and a single instance would handle the multiple displays.

Well, another problem I already mentioned is handling sound. I'm sure
you can imagine what happens when you try running xmms when another user
is running it on a different display. Ideally, the fast-user-switching
stuff would take care of that, and other similar problems. Linux has
always been a multi-user OS... on the console. Now it's time to extend
this philosophy to X.

I'll admit, I thought "fast-user-switching" was a neat feature in WinXP,
but I wasn't *really* convinced until I saw it in action on Panther.
Both implementations have several limitations, the flexibility of Linux
could really let it shine.

[gentoo-user] kopete & msn connectivity issues

2003-11-15 Thread gabriel
apparently msn screwed with their protocol again and the kopete team has had 
to play catch-up.  they have, however developed a patch and it's available in 
cvs.  from http://kopete.kde.org/  :

  As of today (Friday November 14th 2003), MSN made some changes to their 
  servers that prevent Kopete from connecting. The Kopete team went into
  action and fixed the problem in CVS within hours. To get the fix now, read
  the instructions on obtaining and building CVS. A solution for people who
  are unable to build Kopete from source will be available shortly.

so my question is, do i have to wait for an ebuild?  if so, how could i help 
the ebuild along?  thanks for any helpful info...

So you are having people run xinit on their own then?  If you run
xdm/gdm/kdm instead, the user will normally not login at the
console, so killing X won't yield access.

You might also want to use DontVTSwitch.  From the same man page:

Option "DontVTSwitch"  "boolean"
This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Fn sequence (where Fn refers to
one of the numbered function keys).  That sequence is normally used to
switch to another virtual terminal on operating systems that have this
feature.  When this  option is enabled, that key sequence has no
special meaning and is passed to clients.  Default: off.

Things like vcron require a text editor - any old text editor will do but it 
needs an editor. Therefor in the vcron ebuild you'll find 
DEPEND="virtual/editor" and in the nano, emacs, vi and many other ebuilds 
you'll find PROVIDE="virtual/editor". All the other virtuals list the same 
way.

The file is apparently meant to list installed packages that provide certain 
behaviour. The format of virtuals' file contents is:
  [ ...]
e.g virtual/editor app-editors/nano app-editors/emacs

I don't believe the file is touched during an rsync. emerge uses it when 
calculating the dependency tree. Any package that is listed against a virtual 
that is not installed will be marked as required. If an installed package 
depends on a virtual that is not listed in virtuals, then a default will be 
taken from /etc/make.profile/virtuals.

When unmerging a package, if all slotted versions are removed I believe the 
package should be removed from the virtuals file but it seems that in most 
(every?) cases it is being left behind.

So to fix your problem, you can just remove the reference to app-editors/emacs 
from virtuals. If it is the only package providing virtual/editor, then 
replace app-editors/emacs with the editor of your choice.

Why server rooms are locked restricted areas (or should be).  However,
you can take a number of precautions to at least force a console
attacker to have to open your box to reset the bios (remove battery for
20+ minutes, jumper the bios reset pins if equiped).

The correct answer, though, is not to leave a logged in system.  Then
you don't have to worry about it.

You know, you _can_ run multiple xdm (wdm/gdm/kdm, whatever-dm) sessions
similar to what I mentioned.  You just need to add some lines for it in
/etc/X11/?dm/Xservers.  You can even run logins from remote systems
(assuming you've turned on that feature, I believe now it's off by
default).

So the only "problem" you need to overcome is how to avoid the clunky
++ sequence, and that should be simple enough to code up.
 It's just a key sequence passed to the VT manager that isn't first
intercepted by X or another program that has focus.

Necessity is the mother of all hacks (and kludges, too).  I just don't
feel the necessity.  In fact, I'd rather not my kids were changing VTs/X
sessions all over :-).

Ciao,

[gentoo-user] Nvidia module won't load during boot

2003-11-15 Thread Brett I. Holcomb
When my system boots one of the modules I have listed to autoload is nvidia.  
However, it tells me it fails.  But I can do a modprobe after I login and the 
module loads fine.  Is this because nvidia is a "tainted" module?  If so how 
do I fix it.

Thanks.

Re: [gentoo-user] Alsa & Kdemultimedia

2003-11-15 Thread Brett I. Holcomb
Yes, it's merged without alsa.  What I'm saying it that at least on KDE 2.2.x 
I could tell it to autodetect or use oss.  Since alsa has an oss emulation 
maybe that will let things work.   Maybe not though.  Check the control panel 
and see what you can set up for the sound server.

I found both bugs with 'RESOLVED' status, so maybe the ebuild can be modified 
to re-enable alsa (only 2-3 # to remove), but I got a small prob with kde 
compiles ATM, so i can't test it.

You could try qingy. A replacement for getty which can punt you straight into 
whatever WM you wish (or a text console) from which ever vc you happen to be 
at.
I can login on vc1, lock my desktop, then someone else with access can switch 
to vc2 and login to their own xsession.

I've been using this method to allow my wife and I to share our computer
when booted into Linux, but it's no match for the "fast user switching"
features in Max OSX 10.3 and WinXP. Off the top of my head, better
security (see above) and handling of ALSA, as well as a way to switch
without using awkward key-combos[1] would be necessary before this
stopped feeling like a hack.

I've long toyed with the idea of created a set of scripts that made it a
little cleaner, or possibly integrating such features into xdm (we're
not using any display manager atm), but like most of my projects, it
would probably go unfinished. Is anyone else interested in something
like this? I always thought this feature would be worked into Gnome or
KDE, or put together by a "user friendly" distro like Mandrake, before
it trickled down to Linux at large. It might be a real feather in

Aye, the comment in the ebuild when the alsa configure flags are commented out 
says:
# alsa 0.9 not supported

You might want to test whether this also occurs on vanilla 2.6, and
vanilla 2.4. I don't know much about i875 chipsets, so I'm not sure
about needing to use 2.6.

By the way, since you used the driver from nvidia.com you overwrote your
GL libraries. Whenever you use the nv driver, it may be partially broken
due to this. That's the reason we have opengl-update.

I bought it when they were Caldera .  Gee, maybe they'll want me to pay a 
license fee!  The Caldera box was set up to be my working box back before we 
knew Caldera was going to stiff it's users.  It is being replaced by a Gentoo 
box but unfortunately I'm not ready to make the switch yet.  The biggest 
thing is to make sure my RAID problems on the new box are gone before I do 
the switch.

is that i had thought before i found of kind of ,,linux compatible
stuff" webpage that there are problems with this creative's... mouse ;)
quite queer to me and that's why i ask here for suggestions. 

btw. some of keyboards i've saw has several special keys. i found out
that for. example this logitech's cordless desktop mx keyboard generates
scrolling up and down as pushing and releasing of one key (i mean
scancode). Is there a way to modmap it to use that as normal cursors. i
mean for example binding push of this key as cursor up, and relase as
cursor arrow down?

Wireless keyboard and mice are no different to the computer than the wired

Re: [gentoo-user] wireless keyboard and mouse system

2003-11-15 Thread Brett I. Holcomb
I'm using a MS wireless mouse with Gentoo and Caldera.  It works but the only 
issue I have with it is that sometimes when I click on something it doesn't 
see the click.  I have to click harder or several more times.  The receiver 
is within three feet of the mouse so I'm not sure what's going on.  I may go 
back to a regular mouse if this keeps up.

You have done emerge depclean or other such thing.

linc is a deprecated package that has been folded into ORBit2 , but
should have remained on your system in order to prevent breakage like
this (therefore its not conflicted but silently left alone)


Fixing this can either be done by reinstalling "linc" and letting the
problems subside, or running revdep-rebuild (linker checker and
rebuilder)  or by checking what application links to liblinc, and
rebuilding that against current system, then it won't link to linc
anymore.

[gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.0: Xserver crashes

2003-11-15 Thread Christian Fischer
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

hi there.

i've tried kernel 2.6.0-beta9-gentoo because of having an i875 chipset. i use 
a nvidia geforce 2 mx 400 card. 
i've tried out 2 ways of getting the correct nvidia-driver, as first 
downloading NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.tar.gz from nvidia.com
and patching with NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4496-2.6.diff from minion.de, as second 
emerging nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx.

it's the same result: the nv-driver works and the nvidia-driver crashes my 
Xserver. if i try to attach any vt or if i try to shutdown the Xserver. my 
mashine freezes with 3 horizontal stripes on my monitor. i can't get local 
access, remote access is mostly possible. i've 99% cpu-load (events/0) and 
only reboot -f helps. 

any hints?

christian

[gentoo-user] XFCE-4.0.1 & Why I Love Gentoo

2003-11-15 Thread Bill Witherspoon
Hi all,

I've been running Gentoo for about 6 months now, and am fabulously
impressed by it. Case in point:

I emerged the XFCE-4.0.1 bugfix release and restarted X. There was a
long pause and XFCE informed me (something like) 'Your window manager
doesn't support window hints. Some XFCE functions may not work'.
Sure enough I had no window decorations, and could not move or resize
windows.

In my usual panic I re-emerged XFCE4.0, and all was well again. This is
why LOVE Gentoo. I know that something like this would have bbq'd my
system back in my rpm distro days.

Anyhow, did anyone else have this issue? Do I need to upgrade X (I have
4.3.0-r2)? If so, why didn't that get built as a dependency?

Or maybe something else is funky... please FAQ me.

TIA,
Bill

I followed those instructions step by step, with exactly the same wine

want to run "wine IEXPLORER.EXE", I get a bunch of error msgs (from

(all output is attached in txt file)

Has anybody an idea what is wrong here and how I could fix it?

[gentoo-user] after genkernel do I manually re-emerge module packages?

2003-11-15 Thread Heitzso
I ran 'emerge sync' and picked up a new kernel source package
automatically.  I noticed that it was upacked in /usr/src but not
compiled.
I'm running genkernel now to build the kernel image and
modules.
My question is ... all of the add on module packages ...
are they auto-detected and built by the genkernel process
or do I need to know which packages build modules and
re-emerge all of them by hand?
Thanks,

But, afaik, it will still be possible to ctrl+alt+f1 (or another f-key if

A way to solve this is with:

Run it in a vnc session.  Multiple logins at the same time, remote or

I run long term GUI jobs in a vnc session, then can log in from where

Yes.

Go to a console screen (++ for example), login and type:
startx -- :1
note that you _must_ use two dashes.  This tells X to start on a
different screen.  You can also tell it which vt to use if you want so
you know where it is (man X).

Once your xmule program is running, you can hit ++ to
return to the X login screen (or ++ to get back to a
console prompt.

Note: anyone at the keyboard can use the same method to get to your
login.

Hi,

I've already posted earlier (and in other lists with no answer) with a
problem using the ls program...

$ cd /
$ ls -la *

Segmentation fault

And sometimes it even blocks...

So I investigated a little bit and I removed the initrd.gz from lilo,
meaning removed the policy (from SELinux) from boot... And I tried ls with
no policy and guess what? It works ! So the problem lies somewhere in the
"policy" or using the "policy", right? But where? How do I know?
Now I cannot work with no policy because the files have the context placed
by "make relabel"...
What do I do? Please help...

Re: [gentoo-user] depgraph creation failed

   Paulo,

   This is caused when emerge needs a certain package to create the 
dependency graph for all packages in your world and that package is 
masked for whatever reason. The package may be masked for the version 
you need to build mod_php_4.3.4 (check /usr/portage/sys-apps/bzip2) or 
the version or package may be masked globally (/etc/profiles/package.mask??)

   Hope this helps

Re: [gentoo-user] LVM and mirroring

2003-11-15 Thread Guy Van Sanden
The upgrade is something we used to do on solaris boxes, it's about
applying patches, or installing software.
When we did that, we disconnected one side of the mirror, then did the
upgrade/patch/install.  If it went fine, we resynced the mirrors as
normal, but on failure, we resynced from the disconnected (original)
mirror.

Both disksuite and veritas VM have this functionality.

it only happens if you start X manually from this console, otherwise, when you 
kill X, you'll only end up seeing the console login prompt.

[gentoo-user] depgraph creation failed

2003-11-15 Thread Paulo Jorge de Oliveira Cantante de Matos
Hi all,

I've just emerged sync and then I did:
euler root # emerge -up --deep world
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating world dependencies \
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy
"sys-apps/bzip2".
 
!!! Problem with ebuild dev-php/mod_php-4.3.4
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.
 
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

What's happening?

Best regards,

Emacs is probably still listed in /var/cache/edb/virtuals.

[gentoo-user] emerge: unwanted packages

2003-11-15 Thread Oliver Lange
Hello everyone,

I decided not to use emacs, so i unmerged both
emacs and openmotif from my box.
Now when i enter 'emerge -p -u system', both are
listed as new download (N), while 'qpkg -I -q emacs'
returns absolutely nothing. 'make depclean' already
executed. (I also removed them from /var/cache/edb/world,
but updating the system would also merge them).
So, how can i tell emerge that emacs(+openmotif) shall
no longer be merged at system update, until the future
brings a new emacs dep. ?

Does the kernel output say anything about drives being detected or anything 
else that may help?

Valid point, however, in my case they are one in the same.

The hard drive is a western digital SATA raptor with a VIA SATA chipset.
This is enabled in the kernel.  I'm also using the same config that the
livecd used (which detected my drives no problem).

I hadn't thought about that.  I guess I thought it might have something
to do with it just because this is my first time trying out XFS and I
ran into problems.  I'm usually a reiserfs guy :) 
You are correct though.  It didn't say anything about XFS so I shouldn't
have jumped to conclusions.

Thanks!
