It seems that we have almost identical cupsd.conf other than the IP's. Viewing the error logs in /var/log, cupsd was trying to bind to 631 twice. Having a closer look at the conf I noticed that I had "Port 631" and further down a line "Listen 127.0.0.1:631" which I then hashed and restarted cupsd. It now works as it was suppose to. I keep asking others to look at their error logs and here I could have saved myself a lot of time and grief if only I had taken the time to read the dang log

[gentoo-user] mkraid on LiveCD

[Thomas Smith]

I'd like to setup Gentoo using RAID1 (/boot)and RAID5 (the rest). When I 
run /any/ of the RAID commands (in particular, mkraid) I get the 
following error:

cannot determine md version: no MD device file in /dev

I'm believe this is telling me that the /dev/md* devices have to be 
created, yes? I've searched the Gentoo site for information  to setup 
RAID during installation but there doesn't seem to be any.

Can anyone offer pointers to documentation (Gentoo or otherwise) that 
will get me started down the right path?

Ok, let me try.   I may not get this correct on the 1st go round, but we
will get there.

My server/firewall/etc box runs the real cups daemon and has my printers
physically attached to it -- except for the network laser.

Here is an excerpt of the cups setup for the server.  Note that this is
on a closed/firewalled network and there is basically no security on the
cups server/daemon.  I was forced to do this, as every time I tried to
restrict access, it completely broke cups printing.

That is all I can find right now.   If I am missing anything, I will
have to do some digging.  Let's hope that is it.  Give it a go.

I should tell you that the way I debugged this was to get an 'ethereal'
session running (filter traffic as required) so that I could watch the
cups traffic.  There is broadcasting going on.

How did you set the options for mp3, right now its encoding at variable

I have one.  It works quite well.  gripes:

the film adapter doesn't hold the film flat.  I had to come up with my own
kludge
to correct this.

It's a little slow, but I don't mind it too bad.  I didn't exactly buy a
professional
grade scanner.

I found the xsane negative color correction to be much more capable than
that
provided by epson-okawa.  (In fairness, I ran out of patience pretty quickly
with the epson-okawa software and just switched to xsane.)

I'm no pro, but I found everything to work well, with slow but reasonable
speed.

just my nickel's worth.

gcc version:  I think it updated to 3.2.3-r3 a few days ago.

i2c: kernel; I had no idea there was an ebuild

modules.conf:  I haven't touched it.  For now I use a script I wrote
to load the modules.  I just thought it would be easier to edit that
to adapt to changes until I think the box is ready for every-day use.
When I do work on it, I would be happy to share it.

I don't think that mythtv works on the framebuffer.  I seem to recall
that the qt libraries need a good deal of work still to work well on
on the framebuffer.

The framebuffer has never been important to me, other than to have a
better-looking console.  Vesa-fb works fine for that.

Overall, I've not really had any problems with it, until I tried to
use the -epia kernels (mythfrontend locks) or tried to use via's 
binary drivers.  I found that I couldn't use the Xfree drivers unless
I used their kernel modules.  When I use their kernel modules, I have
to use their videodev.  When I use their videodev, ivtv breaks.  ugh.
I do have high hopes for the -epia kernel with ivor's work added in.

good luck

Yeah, that's my major headache - ivtv being fussy. /dev/video0 works,

Lets compare notes. What gcc version are you using? Do you use the 
kernel i2c modules, or the ebuild (if so, which version)? Would you 
mind posting the ivtv section of your /etc/modules.conf?

The latest DirectFB includes support for the CLE266 video, so I've been 
bypassing X and running directly from the framebuffer. Works great.

[gentoo-user] Gnome problem with deleting and adding user

[Greg Yasko]

Hi all. Gnome 2.4 crashed hard on my PC today & my main user account 
will no longer start into Gnome when running startx.

The problem is, Gnome still won't load with former username even after 
running "userdel olduser", running "rm -rf /home/olduser" and then 
adding the user again & setting the password "useradd olduser -m -G 
user,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash". When I do all that and then login and 
run startx, Gnome is garbled on startup.

All other accounts are working with Gnome and new accounts can be added 
under any other username. There must be some hidden settings files for 
Gnome or X that I don't know of.

Help, anyone?

Thanks in advance,

-Greg Yasko

Well, good for you! Most people over 50 wouldn't touch anything other than 
Windows. I'm glad to hear that your giving it a shot. If you can master 
debian, Gentoo will be a breeze once you've jumped this little hurdle.

As per the other post, you'll need to unpack it.

Gentoo splits up what becomes the contents of /etc/profile into package 
specific components, which are in /etc/env.d. env-update will 
recreate /etc/profile from the the files in /etc/env.d. source /etc/profile 
will update your environment with /etc/profile.

The profile directory is /etc/make.profile, which is a symlink 
to /usr/portage/profiles/default--1.4/. Unpacking that 
portage-.tar.bz2 file above will fix this.

As per the install guide. You'll need to copy the packages 
to /usr/portage/packages. If you're using the one page install guide, I would 
suggest checking out the handbook at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/. 
The installation instructions there (which will eventually depracate the 
original one-page version) are much clearer and easier to follow.

This is supported on install and normal running as well. You would just need 
to specify a couple of environment variables, which are documented in both 
installation guides. Also, instead of using "emerge sync" you would/will need 
to use "emerge-webrsync".

This method should also work fine, though. Good luck and feel free to post if

Gentoo by default sources .bashrc from .bash_profile which is, of course, 
why I asked what shell he is using. If .bashrc isn't getting run, then 
perhaps he has a different shell without realizing it. 

The problem with symlinking one to the other as you suggest is if you ever 
use something like scp, you potentially break it, as the comment in 
.bashrc says. All my profile-ish things that generate output get put, 
correctly, into .bash_profile. Of course, if you never generate output 
with your login scripts then you're ok. Just something to keep in mind, 
though.

Re: [gentoo-user] Opinions on USB scanners in Linux?

[Matthew Vaughn]

I have to thank you all for the load of responses. :]

I'm rather intrigued at the number of these that have suggested the
flatbed Epson Perfection models. Upon some research, I found that most
of this scanner series has complete SANE drivers, sports relatively high
resolutions, and comes at a very affordable price. For this reason, I'm
starting to seriously consider the Epson Perfection 2400P, with its
2400x4800 DPI at 48 bits, the 35mm film-strip adapter thingy (whether
this is equitable to a dedicated film scanner or not is questionable,
but this flatbed does indeed deliver twice as many DPI as the film
scanner I had been considering previously), and its very low price: $129
at Circuit City. Considering the praise these receive from Gentoo users
I've asked...
Someone mentioned that 35mm film scanning becomes impractical below 2000
DPI. I'm inclined to agree, but I'm happy to report that this scanner
shoots me above said threshold (not by much, though). I don't need an
absurdly high resolution, though, especially when you consider what I
intend to use this for.
I am an amateur photographer. I also like to dabble in graphic design,
so I usually end up trying to integrate the two fields. The result is a
project I'm working on at the moment (it's, for once, coming along
nicely) which is an attempt to fuse a digital photographic portfolio
with writing and high-end graphics. I hope to treat it like a working
resume. The images contained there would certainly not be large, and
would serve a variety of functions ranging from becoming elements of the
design itself to simple galleries accompanied by text in some form.
We're not talking about massive detail here. This is a web presence;
size is limited. I don't intend to provide full-size copies. It's good
for me to have them on-hand, in either case.
Digital photography, some argue, is the wave of the future. I frankly
don't care for it when it stands alone. The inherent detail of 35mm film
still far surpasses the images that can be produced by any digital
camera today and it suffices for my purposes to use a scanner as an
intermediary between the film and the computer. Aside from the web-work,
I intend to touch up the images for distribution in one form or another.
As I said, though, the primary function is to establish a portfolio.

I'd be surprised if the r8->r9 upgrade caused this. To fix it,

Sounds a bit strange to me too. Although, sh-utils couldn't have been 
reinstalled because all the sh-utils ebuild does is output a text message 
saying that it's been replaced by core-utils and then dies.

To me, it sounds like emerge sync had been run without updating for a long 
time. sh-utils has been removed from system and so there are no dependencies 
on it. Running emerge depclean then just got rid of it. I think that 
dep-clean would have done the same thing in this scenario.

The moral of the story? Always check what's going to happen before doing so 
when operating on the entire package tree.

I thought that this one sounded pretty simple. The solution I would have given 
would be to just re-emerge xpdf. The fact that it was working and now isn't 
says to me that it was originally compiled with "motif" or "openmotif" in his 
USE flags and then the USE flag and the package was removed. Looking at the 
ebuild, you'll see it has optional motif support.

That works. Thanks. But why do state files go stale if I am legitimately

Thanks again.

When you initiate an interactive session, the shell chooses an
initialization script to run based on how you started the session.
If you use bash, it may run ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile. The
suggestion was to have ~./bash_profile run ~/.bashrc, so that you
get the results of ~/.bashrc when you spawned a shell that would
normally only run ~/.bash_profile. Personally, I like my suggestion
better, which is to symlink one to the other. Since you are using
~/.bashrc, I would delete ~/.bash_profile and link ~/.bash to it.
Like this:

mv ~/.bash_profile ~/.bash_profile.bkp
ln -s ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile

Then you get the same thing, no matter how you started the shell.
Also, you can edit either file and the other gets the edits, since
they are really both the same file, just with two names. For me this
works since I'm not taking any action in those scripts that depends
on how I started the shell. For some people, how they start the
shell matters, so this won't work for them.

If you have kdemultimedia installed, the problem is not alsa. The problem in 
that case would be that kdemultimedia also installs a version of timidity 
without the alsa-seq support which is first in the path.

The shell is what you use to interact with the operating system. By
default in Gentoo you use bash. Common alternatives include sh, ksh,
csh, and many many more...

Don't worry too much about optimizing the hell out of it.  I use:
-mcpu=i586 -O2 -mmmx -msse (from memory, not sure about the last one).

Too much optimization will increase the compile time so much it'll
annoy the hell out of you, with little real gain.  Mythtv works
pretty well without via's binary drivers.  I forced some things to 
load and recompiled mythtv to take advantage of the mpeg2 decoder
and it worked out quite nicely.  for playback.  Then, I couldn't
recompile the ivtv modules.

Right now I'm holding on until the latest reverse-engineered decoder
stuff is included in the -epia kernel (www.ivor.it/cle266) that a 
fine chap has put together.

Before I to include more of the goodies, I had the best luck with 
ac-sources for kernel, and the latest development release of
xfree86 (currently 4.3.99.901, I think).

The ivy tv page at http://ivtv.sourceforge.net can tell you how to
set up the lirc drivers for the pvr250/350.  I set that up some time
ago, so don't now remember details.

For a WM, I decided that something a little nicer than twm was in order,
so I used waimea.  Lots of people have had good luck with any of the
*box WMs.

good luck

I too would be interested in knowing how it goes for both of you.

I've been thinking about throwing a tv card in the home NAT box to serve
wireless tv to my laptop. You should definately document everything you

[gentoo-user] again: rp-pppoe

[Oliver Lange]

Hello everyone,

I just emerged rp-pppoe, but i can't get it running.
After adsl-setup, running 'adsl-start' just hangs
(tries to connect but tons of dots appear).
When i run 'adsl-setup' and 'adsl-start' from the gentoo LiveCD,
everything works fine, but not if i boot from my installed
gentoo system, so my best guess is that my kernel config
is wrong somewhere.
I was even clever enough to emerge rp-pppoe (and ppp as a dependency)
using the --fetchonly option, because i saw some configure script
checking kernel stuff like 'ppp-over-ethernet kernel support'.
Installing rp-pppoe while running the gentoo LiveCD kernel
is probably not a good idea, so i compiled both packages after
rebooting with my installed gentoo-kernel. Of course i've enabled
'packet sockets' and 'ppp over ethernet' in my kernel configuration.
Any ideas ?

Some further words:

After browsing thru' several online & offline docs, i still have
no idea what I exactly need to do. Some documents are real crap.
Let me introduce an example:
/usr/share/doc/ppp-2.4.1-r14/html/pppoe.html

It says:

  Make sure to enable PPP over Ethernet in the kernel configuration, as
  well as as the "Packet Socket" option.  You must also enable support
  for experimental drivers.
  
*LOL*, good one. The kernel configuration contains a ZILLION
'experimental' drivers and/or options. How shall i know what
these guys mean ?
And further:

  Include the following line in your ppp options file:

  plugin pppoe

Let's assume that they mean the file named /etc/ppp/options.
That file doesn't contain the mentioned option; I thought that
after emerging the packages, all that should be configured well,
so i decided not to screw up my whole system configuration only
due to several poorly written docs - like that one.
Another unanswered question: adsl-setup asks for something like
a 'firewall mode' (0-2). If i want to install a firewall later,
shall i enter '0' (no firewall) at adsl-setup and later install
a firewall manually, e.g. shorewall ? Would my custom firewall
(whatever I finally use) conflict with the so-called 'firewall'
that adsl-setup wants to setup ?
So many riddles.

Meanwhile, I'll better keep my SuSE router alive, until I find a
comprehensive pppoe guide that eventually ends with a successful
pppoe setup for a gentoo box. The SuSE pppoe guide is so good that
even my grandmother couldn't ever fail to install pppoe on a SuSE box.
I'm a gentoo user since about 4 weeks, i've already installed a
full-blown gnome box with tons of stuff, and a second box with
server stuff like apache, php etc etc, but this time I'm really
getting frustrated... such a simple thing like 'connecting to the
internet' appears to be a science..
Please - sorry for the unbelievably long mail and the hard words,
just frustration. Currently I'd swap a kingdom for a good guide..

If you look

you'll be able to make speedtouch-doctor.sh.  I found this an excellent

There is probably a stale pidfile. Just run "/etc/init.d/gnump3d zap" and the 
state of the service will be resetted. After that you can start it with 
"/etc/init.d/gnump3d start".


Hope that helps.

atitvout gived me this before I mess with the XF86Config-4:

# atitvout pal auto
VBE call failed.
Maybe this command is not supported by your graphics adapter?
Did your parameters (if you specified some) really make sense?
Please try all other available commands before complaining!

never detects TVout but when I mess a bit with some configurations I
have found in the net making a ScreenLayout with to screens then
atitvout detected LCD (with the -f switch) and TVOut. I didnt use
atitvout cause I dont want for now do activate or deactivate nothing.

so I gess it's a frequency problem or something like that 'cause it
gives me an B&W garble image.

I wanted to upgrade postgresql, but it said:

!!! ERROR: dev-db/postgresql-7.4-r1 failed.
!!! Function check_java_config, Line 66, Exitcode 0
!!! You need to use java-config to set your JVM to a JDK!

so started java-config and got the same error...

I'm also running 2.6 on a couple of boxes (not the one this error occured on) 
and it's not a kernel issue but one of ch{own,grp}:
Usage: chown [OPTION]... OWNER[:[GROUP]] FILE...
  or:  chown [OPTION]... :GROUP FILE...

Oh, I didn't realize you were using shorewall. This should be pretty
easy.

The fact that Dhcp is working doesn't mean that Shorewall is actually
started.

On the box that you have shorewall installed goto /etc/shorewall and do
a "dir". There's a file that you need to remove before you can start
shorewall if I remember correctly. This is in the shorewall doc's and
trouble shooting guide.

If you would like I can send you a copy of my shorewall files and you
can get an idea of what your doing wrong. Just let me know. I almost
bet that shorewall isn't started yet. 

If you goto /etc/shorewall and do a "dir", do you see this file
"startup_disabled". This is what I overlooked when I first installed
shorewall. If this is the case, simply remove this file and then from
the /etc/shorewall directory issue "shorewall start". 

Let me know if this helps frank. If not then the ball is in your park
and you need to let us know how you want to proceed. A copy of your
"interfaces", "rules", "masq", "policy" and "zones" files are the only
files that you should've messed with if that?

[gentoo-user] Speedtouch 330 Problems

[David Gethings]

Hi,

I know a number of threads on the forums have been devoted to this
topic: I searched through most if not all of them.

With their help I've almost managed to get the ADSL modem working. As
far as I can tell the problem lies with installing the microkernel. The
logs output the following:

I have donwloaded and installed the latest version of the speedtouch
drivers and mgmt.o. I have also compiled the kernel with the required
modules.

I know the modem works as I can connect OK with WinXP.

So any clues?

[gentoo-user] Scripts don't die...

[Jerry McBride]

I've noticed of late...


If during the boot process the runtime script /etc/init.d/gnump3d is 
started and sometime during the session I don't need it I can manually 
issue the command; /etc/init.d/gnump3d stop and the actual daemon will die as 
expected. However, if I atempt to restart it duing the same session 
with: /etc/init.d/gnump3d start gentoo complains that it's already 
running... 

What flag file isn't being deleted and how do I fix it or whom do I notify to 
get it fixed?

As far as I remember, I used the atitvout utility to change to TV output

Do your workstations know that 192.168.0.1 is your default gateway?
"route" will tell you. Are there any logs on the firewall to
indicate what it is dropping?

Then you know where to start focusing your attention then, right?

If you can ping up to your router with a private ip address but not
past the router then there is an access-list misconfigured or your
private ip's aren't being masq'ed/natted properly. 

You should have it licked from here on out Frank. Let us know what you
find?

try booting as a single user and mounting /proc yourself, you'll see
more messages than during normal boot.

it it's the glibc, you're gone for Knoppix, mount the partitions, chroot
and emerge.

good luck.

Re: [gentoo-user] Network problems

yeah I just remembered I cant ping outside our internal network
out I can ping inside and I am not able to ping to anything outside 192.168.0.1

I can ping the 2 RH boxes behind the router @ .31 and .32 and I can also ping the 
router but nothing goes past it.
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/09/03 02:50PM >>>
Sorry,
Top Posting myself,
I forgot to ask if you could ping (upto or past your default gateway by
ip first). If not then dns is a moot point and its time to start
looking into routing or firewalling blockage/misconfiguration.

c3 bails out with an error about target not supported. I did some

[gentoo-user] freeswan - pfkey write fails

[Richard Knepper]

Compiled 2.4.20-gentoo-r9 with ipsec modules enabled, and installed 
freeswan-2.04.  I set up /etc/ipsec.conf[1] according to freeswan docs for a 
net-net configuration (I'm testing just host-to-host, though).  When I start 
ipsec with /etc/init.d/ipsec start, I see:

 * Starting IPSEC ..
ipsec_setup: Starting FreeS/WAN IPsec 2.04...
ipsec_setup: Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r9/kernel/net/ipsec/ipsec.o
ipsec_setup: /usr/libexec/ipsec/eroute: pfkey write failed, returning -1 with 
errno=22.
ipsec_setup: Invalid argument, check kernel log messages for specifics.   [ ok ]

Looking at the output of dmesg (after setting klipsdebug and plutodebug to all 
in /etc/ipsec.conf), I see:

[gentoo-user] java-config error

[Robert Cole]

 * Setting sun-jdk-1.4.2.02 as default
 * Use java-config to reassign your VM.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/java-config", line 15, in ?
from java_config import jc_options
ImportError: No module named java_config

I tried installing sun's jdk and I get this so I removed it and tried 
java-config again with blackdown and I get the same error message.

Also I noticed a lot of ebuilds want to change permissions on things and with 
the new 2.6 kernel it doesn't work because the new kernel uses a : instead of 
a . between the user and group. There a way to add compatibility to the new 
kernel for the old way?

Anyone have any ideas? 

Thanks!

Are you sure XFS_PORT="-1" doesn't mean "use default port"? I have 'FontPath
"unix/:7100"' and it works fine. The Red Hat docs say 7100 is the default.

I do find that when I upgrade my kernel I have to re-merge "xfree-drm"
for some unknown reason. I'm about to upgrade to 2.4.20r8 and I'm sure
something will need to be re-merged.

The funny thing is that I don't mess with any of my use variables. So

about.

[gentoo-user] Help with 8211 wireless module

[Chris Wanstrath]

Hey everyone.  I've seen this discussed on the forums before but I have a 
unique problem that I can't seem to find a solution for.

I recently went from Red Hat 9 to Gentoo 1.4 [Stage 1].  My Red Hat kernel was 
2.4.20-8 and my Gentoo kernel is 2.4.20-gentoo-r9.  I have a cheap SMC PCI 
802.11b wireless card which uses a PCMCIA chip.

Under Red Hat, I had this card working.  When I try and reproduce what I did 
before (and when I follow the tips in the forums), it doesn't go quite as 
planned.

As far as I can remember (it was a while ago), to get my card working under 
Red Hat all I did was compile the source, enable PCMCIA in the kernel, 
recompile kernel, put the 8211.o module in a /lib/modules dir and then insmod 
8211.o.  Now, however, I get an error telling me 8211.o was compiled for 
kernel 2.4.19 and it asks me if I want to continue.  If I do want to 
continue, I have to use 'insmod -f 8211' to force it to work at which point 
it warns me I'm tainting the kernel (no license) and warns about unresolved 
symbols.

The forum threads I've visited said the unresolved symbols were normal but 
said nothing about the 2.4.19 / 2.4.20 error.  If I'm downloading the source 
and compiling the code, shouldn't it be compiled for 2.4.20?

depmod -a gives me the following:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols 
in /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r9/kernel/drivers/net/8211.o

After doing this, the howto's I've been to tell me to 'iwconfig' and see my 
wireless card (using the wireless-tools package).  The funny thing is, after 
I insmod I can see that I have an eth1 that wasn't there before but it tells 
me eth1 has "no wireless extensions."  When I ifconfig eth1, I can see it has 
a MAC address and I can bring it up.  The problem is I can't set any wireless 
channels or anything on it using iwconfig.

If anyone has any tips on the compiling/kernel errors or some advice on how to 
get this working or a link with my specific problem (I tried Google and the 
forums but of course I may have missed something) please let me know.

Thanks.

netstat -nlp
You should have a line like this
unix  2  [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 4874   2556/xfs
/tmp/.font-unix/fs-1

If not, firstly I'd try stopping and restarting xfs.
I use xfs, with the same config as you (the default) on at least 2 boxes and it works 
fine.

Not necessarily.
emerge depclean doesn't just uninstall any old packages.
Sounds like sh-utils may have been re-installed *after* coreutils had been 
installed, otherwise the mtimes and md5sums would not have matched and the 
files would have been left.

Yeah, and I would advise looking at dep-clean. I hear its a little more 
reliable.. emerge dep-clean isn't the best.. Its part of gentoolkit I think.

It's not necessary because the interface doesn't need to be configured

NOTE:  when running Red Hat (I am mirgrating to
gentoo) using X and XFS there is a socket
/tmp/.font-unix/fs7100

when running Gentoo there is NOT any /tmp/.font-unix
directory or socket within the directory.

Is X looking for this?  Why isn't it there? (I was
looking for something like /tmp/.font-unix/fs-1)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

that's right. emerge depclean tried to unmerge sh-utils and textutils I
think, because they were replaced by coreutils. as my system wasn't
quite up to date something wen't wrong. at least I could recover using
my slackware install.

so do I have to run 'emerge -uD world' or the like before using 'emerge
depclean' to avoid troubles?

I think it is a shame we don't automate the process of updating

and ~/.bash_profile so it's called whether I use a login shell or not.

correct.
Dennis Freise answered that i need to do that. Now, who is right ?

I don't see the need for an extra guide, installing rp-pppoe and running
adsl-setup should cover everything necessary for the network connection.
Installing and configuring ddclient (or another dyndns client) and NAT
routing are also very basic steps, so the whole guide would only be one
or two paragraphs.
Shall it really be so easy ? Well ok i'll try.

If you run `exec bash` instead of `bash` the exec will exit the first 
shell as it forks the new shell saving you from having to exit two 
shells. Run `man bash` and seach for exec for details.

Also in un*x most everyhing is a file, including standard in. Also

It probably runs ~/.bash_login on login. I've symlinked the two
files together, since I expect the same behaviour regarless of my
login method.

Also, a workaround to the "double logout" is to just source the
file. Run ". ~/.bashrc" (yes, that's a single dot followed by a
space and then your .bashrc) and it will execute ~/.bashrc without
causing a second login.

So you can't ping 168.210.210.254, 253, 252? Or you just can't
resolv yahoo.com? If you can't ping the DNS servers, is your
firewall blocking their responses? Check the firewall logs. Also,
what is the router's default gateway? Can you ping that from your
internal box?

The only thing you need is rp-pppoe, which should be installed before
you reboot or you won't have a network connection.

rp-pppoe does that itself, no need for a cronjob.

I don't see the need for an extra guide, installing rp-pppoe and running

You have to "rc-update add net.eth1 default".

No, you don't. Setup for dial-on-demand and enter a hangup-timeout of 31536000
seconds (approx. 1 year, so it'll never hangup and redial after loss of the
connection)

# man pppd
Take a look at /etc/ppp/ip-up & -down.
Then forget about that again and just
# emerge ddclient
and set that up for daemon-mode - no need for ppp-scripts ;)

'iptables' might come in handy to enter some basic packet-filtering rules...

sed is preferred.  Cuts down on the dependencies for buildtime. ( Not

Well, maybe it emerged just fine the first time and got screwed later, who 
knows. I've seen this happening on a server at my university but it was a 
SuSE server. On the other hand, I've never seen this on my system. But then 
again, I am pretty conservative with my make.conf settings and do nothing as 
root except etc-update and occasional debugging. Everything else is done with 
sudo since I very rarely change anything here.

I think what you've forgotten to do is unpack the portage image. After
copying portage-.tar.bz2 to /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage, cd to that
directory and "tar xvjf portage portage-.tar.bz2" to unpack it.

As simple and friendly as this recommendation seems, I get really tired
of hearing only part of the story.



There are so many posting threads that read:

Q. What do I do for 
A. You need to emerge  again
Q. Why didn't it get emerged properly the first time?
A. ??

Why in blazes is it necessary to re-emerge packages?  I almost never see
this problem on my system.  Is there a common problem here and thus a
common solution?  What is the rest of the story?

I can understand when the USE variables must be changed, but why are
there so many recommendations to re-emerge without any obvious changes?

[gentoo-user] no profile directory

[john gennard]

I tried to install 1.4 from a single CD and had to give up.

Now I've downloaded both CD1 and CD2 and still get stuck at 
the same point. (My basic difficulty arises from the fact
I'm well into my 70s and have little basis computer knowledge 
- although I do run Debian successfully).

Following the install write-up (ignoring a net connection),
I get to the point where after copying portage-20030911.tar.bz2
to /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage and chrooting and then running
'env-update', 'source /etc/profile' (don't yet understand that!)
and 'export CONFIG_PROTECT="-* /etc/make.conf', the command
'emerge -up system' still fails with the message "no profile
directory .. system mode unavailable".

Would someone kindly tell me what I'm not doing correctly.
Also, it will be helpful to know how I point 'emerge' to
CD2 which contains packages I shall need.

After getting a good install, I shall connect to the net for
upgrading and pulling down other packages. At the moment,
I access the net through a separate box which contains only
my firewall, and I need a browser to reach it - this is
why I want to do the initial install without net access.
I do have access to a neighbour's 1meg ADSL connection,
but only form a Win box (I got CDs 1+2 this way and burned
the images on that box).

Grateful for assistance.

Regards, John.

[gentoo-user] EPIA CFLAGS

[Jayson Garrell]

My M1N EPIA mobo will be arriving today and I wanted to get a
heastart on getting things ready. This board is going to be used as a
dedicated mythtv box. 

What are the best CFLAG opts for this mobo? Is there a C3 option or do I
need go with i586 or i686. I don't need any help installing Gentoo or
mythtv, I just wanted to make this setup as fast as it can be.

That's pretty much what I've heard.  I have a cheaper ($250CND) HP that
has the slide and negative scanner attachment for it (not a "real"
negative scanner by any means) that works ok except for the tediousness
of loading it that at high res can produce some nice scans, more than
enough for a thumbnail gallery (scans up to 1200x1200 I think), but is
still not professional grade.  

However, if what you're looking for is to get images into digital at a
decent resolution to display online and do some photo manipulation, a
set up like I have works fine, and the one you pointed to probably will
be around the same quality as a "normal" scanner, just much easier to
load and use :)

Good luck though, please post what you end up doing, as I'd be
interested in hearing what it's about.

BTW, good to see I'm not the only person who prefers 35mm to digital
(or at least I can replace my SLR with a digital rebel or *ist without
needing to sell a kidney to pay for it :)

touch the files to protect..

for file in $(find /path/to/files/to/protect); do
  touch $file
done

that may not be the "right" way to do this, but it works...

RE: [gentoo-user] Fonts

[Paul Fraser]

Actually, I think the default configuration for XFS is to use -1 now, not
7100. So you'll want to change your FontPath line to:
  FontPath"unix/:-1"

Also, I believe that if you are using xfs, (X font server, not SGI's file
system), you should put

  FontPath"unix/:7100"

at the top of the Files section. Then your fonts can be configured through
/etc/X11/fs/config.

Thanks for the confident confirmation Alan. That always helps.

Ahhh. Thank you. 

I will experiment with your method. Never used "locate" before so this
should be an interesting day.

I'll be sure to let you know whether or not re-merge'ing openmotif
helped. I'm sure it will do the trick though.
