I'm trying to remember this off the top of my head:

1. On the "client" systems, you need these lines in your /etc/make.conf file.  
Please edit the IP address to be your internal rsync server.  (The 
FETCHCOMMAND and the next line are a continuation of the same line.)

FETCHCOMMAND='rsync -vcrtz --partial --progress --timeout=600 
rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-packages/${FILE} ${DISTDIR}'
SYNC="rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-portage"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="rsync://192.168.1.50/gentoo-packages"

2.  You will need to emerge rsyncd.  Make sure to edit the 
/etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf to point to where you have your portage files.  You 
start the rsyncd by using /etc/rsync/rsyncd start

3.  On the "client" systems, make sure you have the directory 
/usr/portage/distfiles created BEFORE you try to emerge sync/rsync.  Make 
sure the permissions of the distfiles directory match those of the 
/usr/portage directory.


You will probably need to play a little with this to get it to work, but I 
have it working for several systems at home.

Good Luck...

I don't use the spanish, but I installed gcompris and libassetml and I have 
the spanish files.
It still didn't work right away.
I had to make a symlink (I used soft links, ln -s) directory called /usr/
share/assetml which links to /usr/games/share/assetml and another link 
called /usr/games/share/gcompris which points to /usr/share/gcompris.
I am not certain if libassetml added any additional files, or if the files 
were included with gcompris originally.

If both packages had been installed in /usr/games/share or both in /usr/share 
I think everything would have worked.  Not sure why the difference, but it 
was an easy work around.

Considering that one is an external drive, in the current setup RAID 1

You would need it to be RAID 1 if you were wanting redundancy.  RAID 0 
just gives you a perfornace increase.  IMHO RAID 0 should even be called 
RAID (redundant array of inexpensive/independent disks) because RAID 0 
has no redunancy!

I've set PKGDIR=/home/backup/packages and FEATURES="buildpkg ..." in
make.conf. If something goes awry I can blow away my / partition and be
up and running in no time using the packages saved to my separate /home
drive. I've got about 500 packages installed and my packages directory
is just under 3GB - If you've got the space it's definitely worth it. If
you have a few things in your portage overlay you should back those up
too. Kernel .config files are handy to keep as well, although fairly
easily replaced.

Yes, this is totally possible - just have your dad pop in the live cd,
type 'passwd' and set the root password, then have him start sshd - the
entire install is easily done over ssh.

One thing to look into will be Catalyst when it is capable of producing
liveCDs. You could create a liveCD for your dad with all of his
evolution and mozilla settings set up, with passwords set, sshd enabled
and his internet connection set up. If anything goes wrong you can have
him boot the liveCD and use his computer like usual as you rebuild his
system behind the scenes over ssh. When you're done have him reboot and
he's back up and running on his 'real' Gentoo system.

Re: [gentoo-user] Planning for a future crash

IIRC the LiveCD does support ssh.  You might have to start the ssh daemon 
with /etc/init.d/sshd start.  Long ago I used it to get the stage 1 tarball 
from one of my machines to the box that was to be a Gentoo box.

Backups:

/home/*
/etc/*
/usr/local/anything you've added here.

Seems like I'm missing something but I just shut down my main machine that I 
use for backups down for the night.

I upgraded ssh last night and stressed over the restart step. I went
ahead and it worked. I did not get this error, and my /var/empty
directory is dated Dec 9.

755 are the directory permissions. There is a file in the directory
called '.keep.backup' which has a size of 0 and is owned by root.

Na, just do setterm -blank 0.. do it in local.start and its good every time 
you boot. And you can do it at a bash prompt to start it right away.

[gentoo-user] esd not starting

2003-12-10 Thread Joel Konkle-Parker
I'm having a problem with my sound configuration.

I'm using the i810_audio kernel module, which is the correct one for my 
sound (I've used it before). It get loaded properly at boot, I can use 
the Gnome volume control, and my system beeps are sound-card generated 
instead of pc-speaker beeps. The volume control changes the system beep 
volume, although max volume-control doesn't make it very loud.

I have /etc/init.d/esound installed into /etc/runlevels/default. The 
boot sequence shows that it gets started successfully. But none of my 
apps (ayttm, savagedemo) actually play any sounds (except those system 
beeps in the console). A quick look at `ps -A` doesn't show esd or 
esound anywhere. `killall esd` and `killall esound` result in "No 
processes stopped'.

When I try to start it with `/etc/init.d/esound start', I get a message 
saying it's already started. `/etc/init.d/esound stop` gives "esound 
stopped..." followed by a "[!!]". Retrying the `start` command after 
that still results in a message saying it's already started.

Manually running `esd` says that /dev/dsp is busy, even though I'm not 
running anything that's using it. I'm in the 'audio' group.

Help?

Currently, it is masked so you will have to put a line in your

[gentoo-user] After upgrading openssh, cannot start sshd anymore

2003-12-10 Thread Aaron Walker
Man I hate to ask so many questions in so little time.. makes me seem so 
needy :)

I just updated the openssh package on my mail server (the P233) with no 
problems.. after the install, I restarted sshd and get the following error:

# /etc/init.d/sshd restart
* Stopping sshd...  [ OK ]
* Starting sshd...
Missing privilege separation directory: /var/empty  [ !! ]
I did etc-update before restarting, but I doubt that has anything to do 
with it since I think I was using the default sshd_config file anyways.

Any ideas?

"i know I know"  

man setterm for lots of nifty things about terminals :


-powerdown [0-60]
Sets  the  VESA powerdown interval in minutes. Without an argument,
defaults to 0 (disable  powerdown). If the console is blanked or the
monitor is in suspend mode, then the monitor will go into vsync suspend
mode or powerdown mode respectively after this period of time has
elapsed.


-powersave [off]
Turns off monitor VESA powersaving features.

-blank [0-60] (virtual consoles only)
Sets  the  interval  of  inactivity, in minutes, after which the screen
will be automatically blanked (using APM if  available).
Without an argument, defaults to 0 (disable console blanking).



this ought to do it.

[gentoo-user] turning off screen blank

2003-12-10 Thread Aaron Walker
I would think this would be a FAQ, but I didn't see it there.

How do you turn off the automatic blanking of the console screen (blank 
screensaver I guess you could call it)?

Thanks,
Aaron

Looks like you're missing some kernel-modules. Try settings these values in your
kernel .config:

CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m

You can also choose "y" instead of "m", that will build it into the kernel. If
it doesn't help, look again at your menuconfig and look for any ppp-modules that
might be missing. The problem is almost certainly related to your kernel.

Might also be that you're not running devfsd and you're missing some
device-nodes under /dev - check that too. In addition check, that your kernel
has devfs-support compiled in...

That about does it, also look in sys-apps, or whatever directory its in, there 
is a link that is created to the /all/gcc. Copy that to..

always try the simple things first: do you have a proper 'adsl' script ?
my note on ADSL says to create a script 'adsl':

  # /etc/init.d/adsl
  #
  # Script to initialise the adsl connection
  depend () {
  need net.eth0 # Or whichever device needed for modem
  }

  start () {
adsl-start
  }

  stop () {
adsl-stop
  }

then to  chmod +x  & execute :

  rc-update add adsl default

[gentoo-user] emerge'ing package on one pc for another pc

2003-12-10 Thread Aaron Walker
I know I have read about this before on this list, but I didn't see any 
archives on the gentoo site to try to search (unless I just missed it).

I am trying to emerge a package on my fast desktop machine and then 
install it on my mail server (which would take hours if I tried to 
emerge it there).

For example, I am trying to emerge the latest gcc for my mail server (a 
P-MMX 233).

I think I know how to do it, I just wanted to check with the list to 
make sure before I attempted it.

Is the following correct?

On desktop box:
# export CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
# export CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentium-mmx -funroll-loops -pipe"
# emerge -B gcc
The emerge man page says it creates the package in PKGDIR/All
so I would just copy the package to the mail server's PKGDIR then run 
emerge -K gcc?

Thanks,
Aaron

Depends upon the package. As it happens, Anjuta is Lisa's pet app, so
the ebuild was out about 5m after the release :) For other apps, you may
have to file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org/ .

We already have an ebuild in portage. So... emerge sync will bring your
box up to date. Currently the 1.2.0 ebuild is marked as 'unstable' on
x86 and ppc, so you'll have to set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS appropriately to
emerge it.

hi.

i have the same laptop. kernel-2.6

this is how i got tvout working:

i use the binary drivers from ati (emerge ati-drivers).
start fglrxconfig to generate an XF86Config file.

when he asks you, say yes to tv-out.
the mode i got it working is this:
clone mode (so the same thing is displayed on both screens),
and the TV had to be the primary, and the LCD the secondary screen.

after that it was only a matter of connecting the svideo out to my TV,
and it worked. (i think i had to switch the displaying to the TV with
Fn-key + F5 (or F6, i don't remember which switches the display :-).

i attached my XF86Config, that is set up for TV-OUT (i only use this
file when i want to watch something on the TV. for normal use, i use a
different XF86Config), hope it helps.

the only way to get it working is to go for the 2.6 Kernel.

Is there anybody who has got a similar system working with or without 2.6 ?

Refuse to go back to Redhat with its deep pockets (which is supported by 
Intel).  Support from Intel on anything else than Redhat is hopeless.

No promises that this will fix anything, but there has been a lot of traffic
on Alsa-Devel about problems like this. I use a different chip from Via, and
adding this option helped me. Try adding an option to your
/etc/modules.d/alsa file for the Intel chips:

alias snd-card-0 snd-i8x0   (or whatever yours actually is)
option snd-i8x0 dxs_support=4

Just add the option line. Leave the existing line alone. Try options 0-4 and
see which works best for you. It might help.

These require a reboot for me, but you might be able to just start and stop
Alsa. I don't know.

Good luck, and no guarantees!

You have to add a specific applet to the GNOME panel to give the systray

is called something like "system tray applet".

Nope, you're on the right track.  It doesn't really matter which
operating system you install first, as long as you have an HFS+
partition available to later install OS X (if you start with Linux),
or some free space available for Linux (if you start with OS X).

The 10GB listed as "free space" are what you will use to create your
partitions for Linux.  Just create a swap partition, a / partition,
and optionally a boot partition, and you'll be ready to go.  The
section in the install directions called "Preparing the Disks" is
really good:

It compiled libsoup ok, the configure failed on gtkhtml due missing

Or maybe it misses perl for XML-parser? How do I get it?

[gentoo-user] compiling gcompris

2003-12-10 Thread Manuel Pérez López
Hi!:

I can see that Gcompris includes assetml-xx for several languages, because I 
could read some xx-es-ogg, xx-en-ogg, etc... at installation moment. I think 
there is no need to install another package for languages, and the 30 Mbytes 
include the sounds. But... perhaps I am in a mistake.

Going to the problem: Gcompris say me that it needs aditional packages for 
spanish sound, and I think the files are into the machine. The assetml-es no 
exist at the gentoo portage. Perhaps it is a package bug, or is it *my* bug? 
Have anyone installed Gcompris in Gentoo?

See you later...

Apparently I used "atitvout -f t" for TVout (PAL) and "atitvout -f l" to
switch back to LCD. "atitvout -f lt" (both together) didn't work with my card.

[gentoo-user] binary library

2003-12-10 Thread Adrian Pirciu
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I managed to build (almost) a binary library for gentoo (optimized for 
pentium3 for me and some of my coleagues), including glibc, gcc and 
the "bootstrap" things (i modified make.conf including 
FEATURES="buildpgk" before running bootstrap.sh). Question now: how 
can i use them on another new install, so that boostrap.sh won't 
crunch numbers for more that 5-6 hours or so ? Is it enough to just 
copy them on the new system and emerge them and never use 
bootstrap.sh ? 

Second. I am using PORTAGE_BINHOST, having binary packages on a system 
with apache. What is a good set of parameters for emerge when trying 
to install new software from this server ? (i currently use emerge 
- -gK ... ). -g doesn't seem to be in the man emerge. It seems that 
when I use this, if the package from BINHOST needs something not 
installed on the machine, emerge will not search for that file in 
other places, but will stop like this:

Calculating dependencies   
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy 
"something".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

Is it possible that emerge would search the normal portage directory 
for a needed file if it does not find it on the BINHOST (it would be 
nice if it would show me which file will emerge from net and which 
one from the BINHOST). 

Thanks.

I have an HP DeskJet 845C USB and it works well.

Yes, I know that it's helpful to modify modules.conf.  I just hadn't
done it yet, because I didn't necessarily want things to load on their
own until I'm happy with how everything is working.  For now, the scripts
are what I want.

Thanks, by the way, for posting that.  It'll make my life somewhat easier.

What do you prefer for playback?  My own preference is to use the box for
a variety of multimedia tasks, and specifically as a pvr, so mythtv seems
to be the best fit for it.

I've had this problem before, and I couldn't figure out wtf was going

I know there was a problem with 3.2.1 and ivtv, but 3.2.2 has been 
blessed by the devs. I'm also running 3.2.3 and was starting to wonder 
if this wasn't part of the problem.

i2c 2.8.0+ needs you to make a small modification to the Makefile. Do 
you have any i2c errors in your logs when you access /dev/video0?

The Gentoo-ish way of handling the ivtv options would be to create 
/etc/modules.d/ivtv, drop your configs in there, then run 
modules-update. Here's what I'm using:

# WinTV PVR 350
alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 ivtv
alias /dev/v4l ivtv
options ivtv debug=1 
options tuner type=21
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1
options saa7115 
add below ivtv msp3400 saa7115 saa7127 tuner
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video0 -u 0x3000 -p4
post-install ivtv /usr/local/bin/test_ioctl -d /dev/video16 -u 0x3000

Hey,

I just realized spamassassins deamon was not running. Doing a rc-status, of

Has someone created a nifty script to run through the default runlevel, like 
rc-status, but actually make sure the daemon is running.. Maybe a check 
.

If not, I am going to write one.. Dunno how I am gonna pull it off. If anyone 
has some ideas on how I find the pid files dynamically. I know they are in

[gentoo-user] [gentoo users] Printing problems...follow

2003-12-10 Thread Primero.Franz
I've a Gentoo laptopo with a HP DeskJet 845C USB.
I've followed the printing guide from the official gentoo site, but 
something doesn't work good...

The first time i've used "hpijs" drivers, wich are the reccomended one  
from linuxprinting.org, with foomatic db.
I've installed it and from the CLI everything seems to be good. Then I 
opened the Cups Web Interface, the printer is ready, so i tried to print 
the Test Page but i received this error message:

"Media tray empty!"

I've looked for it on Google and i've found some information about a Bug, 
but all the links to informations about it are broken.

So, I've tried with gimp-print drivers , my printer is supported from them.
I created another printer , configured to use this driver and almost 
everything seems to work but the color.
Every printing done with this driver is Greyscale. i've looked in the 
options and the colors (normal option) are enabled.

What can i do now?
I would like to use the hpijs driver , but also the gimp would be good if 
colors were avaible.

thanks
primero
P.S. I think that all besides the printing driver is ok, cupsd is running, 
usb and usb-printing modules are loaded.

ADDED LATER
Now i've tried installing hpijs 1.5 (instead of 1.4.1 i had before) and 
things are getting stranger and stranger.
Now the printing starts, the "Media tray empty!" message is always 
present, but the printing is simply white ... nothing is being printed, a 
white paper exit from my printer ... :-((
please help :-)))

bye bye

I have to activate the plugin eacht time I start gaim. Otherways gaim

You have to add a specific applet to the GNOME panel to give the systray
icon somewhere to dock to. It's part of the standard applets package, and
is called something like "system tray applet".

  

I have emerged the gnome-applets package, still no go. Other trayicons
like battery status, weather etc work fine. So I guess it is a gaim
thing? Gaim is Version 0.72. Any other ideas?

[gentoo-user] XEmacs build problem

2003-12-10 Thread Christopher Tessone
I'm having some trouble building xemacs, and I thought perhaps someone
could help me out.  This is what happens when I run 'emerge xemacs':

bash-2.05b# emerge xemacs

emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/xemacs".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

Since I'm *building* a package that provides virtual/xemacs, I don't

bewildering.  Any help would be appreciated.  Here is the output of

Try "bash -l" for the session instead of just "bash".

Yes I did notice that also. It was in the stage1-x86 tar ball, but it is
there now that the system has been installed. After it finishes
compiling xfree & qt I will rebuild it system with the c3-2 flags. I
will post the results.

Also if any one is interested I have a 2.4.23 kernel built with all of
the cle266 stuff patched in. URL below.
http://kyi.sytes.net/downloads/epia/patch-2.4.23-epia1
http://kyi.sytes.net/downloads/epia/epia.config

The epia.config is my custom kernel, mostly modular vs. builtin driver
support. The patch applies cleanly to the stock 2.4.23 kernel & the -bk7
patched kernel. As the system is built I will provide complete configs &
docs to any one that needs them.

yes right, but that's only for testing purposes.

root isn't 'created' in the normal sense.
When you add a user 'useradd' with the -m flag the contents of /etc/skel (a 
skeleton user) is copied to their newly created home directory.
One of the first things I do on a new install is copy the contents 
of /etc/skel to /root

If you have to run 'bash' when you login I'd say your shell isn't bash.
My shell is bash:
sauron root # grep mike /etc/passwd
mike:x:1000:100:Mike Williams:/home/mike:/bin/bash

I also have this:
#This file is sourced by bash when you log in interactively.
[ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc

in my .bash_profile

Seemed I had some bad blocks. I had to force a scan before errors starting 
shooting left and right from it.. Works fine now that it cleared some bad

as I set up my gentoo system I forgot to install a kernel-logger and had
this messages appearing whenever I logged in as ordinary user. they
didn't show up when I logged in as root though. finally installing a
kernel logger solved my problem, but the error-messages are still there.

does this have to do with permissions??

[gentoo-user] gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1 & sound

2003-12-10 Thread David Obwaller
I recently built a kernel from gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1.

basically the new kernel works quite well. all apps like evolution,
nautilus... have a slight speed increase and seem to react more directly
to user input. however, I can't play back mp3 using mpg321 or rhythmbox
while doing other things in background. whenever I fire up some bigger
program (e.g. evolution), do something with an already running app or
shut down some program there's some noticable crackling in audio
playback, sometimes audio output is silent for a second. using the stock
linux kernel (vanilla-sources-2.4.22) this didn't happen. if I choose
some song in rhythmbox it also takes longer to load as before.

I tried using esd and directly play audio, no difference. I'm using the
ALSA i8x0 driver for my on-board soundchip.

has this somehow to do with why gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1 are masked? if
not, what else could cause this behaviour?

thanks in advance for any answers,
David

No, you don't need to do that. The . tells it to be parsed. You only need 
it to be executable if you want to execute it directly -- ie, ~/.bashrc or 
just .bashrc if you are already in your home directory.

Yep. Which again leads me to believe that somehow you aren't using bash as 
your shell. While you are logged in, you can type echo $SHELL or echo 
$shell (csh uses lower case while bourne-related shells use upper).

You can also cat or grep /etc/passwd to get your shell setting or, if you 
have installed finger, you can finger your user. To set bash as your 
shell, use the following:

usermod -s /bin/bash username

grep  /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $7}'

use chsh to change your shell.

add echoes in your .bash* files, like:

echo "executing bashrc"
echo "executing bash_profile"

so you can see when each file is sourced.

And neither bashrc nor bash_profile needs the x bit, since they're sourced and 
not executed.

Re: [gentoo-user] Solved: .bashrc over ssh

2003-12-10 Thread Oliver Lange
Sorry for the self-reply,

I just found out what's the problem with my bash init:

While /root/.bashrc exists, /root/.bash_profile didn't exist
after installing gentoo. Now i know that .bashrc isn't executed
anyway without having a .bash_profile file.
Sorry if i messed up this mailing list with my stupid postings,
but i simply don't know anything about bash and all that.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with PATH under KDE

2003-12-10 Thread Al Smith

Did you modify your path before or after you started KDE? And do you manually start 
KDE (via startx) or are you loading kdm?  

If you modified your path after you started KDE. Logout completly - down to console 
(if manually started KDE) and off or logout and at your shell goto your home directory 
and source your profle:  . ./.bash_profile this should update your path you can verify 
by doing an echo $PATH and see if the correct statment is there.

If you autostart KDE then you may need to boot to source your updated path. I am not 
100% sure because I don't autostart my Xwindows.

Either look in /etc/passwd or run 'echo $SHELL'.

If you are using bash then the system wide bash config file /etc/profile
will be used. It should then call your own .bash_profile. This in turn
can execute a .bashrc file.

As you rightly pointed out neither .bashrc nor .bash_profile are
executable. For the line in your .bash_profile to include your config in
.bashrc make it executable (chmod u+x .bashrc).

I am not sure but I think /etc/profile 'source's your .bash_profile so
it does not need to be executable. But I would check /etc/profile to
make sure.

Hope that helps.

Addendum:

I just found out that everything works fine as long i'm

when i login as root, even local login won't execute the
.bashrc in /root, no matter if i login locally or over ssh.

Hi,
This is taken from Gentoo installation guide.
14.Setting your time zone
...
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/path/to/timezonefile /et c/localtime
where /path/to/timezonefile is the path to your country and city. See 
the dirs under /usr/share/zoneinfo/...
Before that you have to decide if want to use GMT or your localtime. 
Also check the BIOS time settings.

Check your CLOCK setting in /etc/rc.conf if it's set to "UTC" then gentoo will 
show bios time +1 for CET. If you want it to show the bios time, then set 
CLOCK to "local".
