Re: [gentoo-user] KDE Install Problem
On Saturday 17 January 2004 06:09, Bob White wrote:
I'm a new Gentoo user, although not to Linux in general. I'm trying to
install Gentoo on an older HP Pavilion with a k6-2 333 processor. All
has gone well to this point - I have the base install (I started from a
stage 3 install), as well as X installed and operating. (Both -mcpu and
-march are set to k6-2 in make.conf)
There's no point in setting both -march and -mcpu. It's effectively the same
as using plain -mcpu. If you're not planning to change the processor type, I
suggest that you use just -march=k6-2.
I encountered a problem trying to install KDE. After starting with
emerge kde, it ran for a while and halted with an error on trying to
compile libvorbis-1.0.1. The problem occurs as the compiler is
compiling floor1.c. I receive an error that looks like:
{standard input}: Assembler Message
{standard input}: 13439 Error Value of ff7e too large for
field of 1 bytes at 4b4e
IIRC I've compiled libvorbis-1.0.1 on a k6-2. (I'm not abolutely sure about
the version since this was last week, and I can't check it now) My CFLAGS
were -march=k6-2 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer
If it won't compile with those, you could try setting -march=i586. In my
experience assembler errors on the k6-2 can usually be fixed like this. Just
remember to only emerge libvorbis with -march=i586, otherwise you'll lose a
bit of performance.
I have deleted the portage directories for libvorbis, resynced, and
re-emerged it. No success. I re-emerged libogg, which is required by
libvorbis, and it compiled successfully. However this didn't fix
libvorbis - it still fails in the same place.
If by portage directories you mean /usr/portage/media-libs/libvorbis, then
this is hardly surprising. Deleting directories in /usr/portage won't help in
these situations (or any others for that matter) since they only hold the
ebuilds and digests of the package. emerge sync fetches updates and deletes
all stale or modified files.

Re: [gentoo-user] Would be possible migrate from Gentoo 1.4 to Gentoo 2004?
That is right... unless there are a major architectural changes. If I understand this correctly, Gentoo borrows the idea from FreeBSD, everything is developed constantly and a release is just a snapshot of everything on the release day. And if Gentoo follow it even further it will be possible to do seamless upgrade... imagine your Gentoo Linux evolve instead of replacing it everytime with a new version. I think that is pretty neat!

Now, i've replaced it whith syslog-ng (replaced also in default runlevel). After doing this, all emerge will display this message: [SNIP] Have you done rc-update del metalog default? If so, you also need to delete the metalog rc-script, i.e. rm /etc/init.d/metalog (portage doesn't do this automatically since the config files in /etc are protected by default) Then do a rc-update add syslog-ng default, and it should work. You'll probably run into the same problem if you use vcron. The rc-script for it changed from vcron to vixie-cron (like the whole ebuild) late last year and caused similar problems. Again the solution is to delete the old vcron script from the runlevel and /etc/init.d/ and adding the new script to the runlevel. As a sidenote, when you unmerge stuff it's generally a good idea to look at the emerge output. Not all files are necessarily deleted. Things might remain behind because they're protected config files (visible as !cfgpro in the output) or because they've been modified afterwards (visible as !mtime). Generally it's safe to delete the config files manually, but the changed files might be trickier. -- Jani-Matti Hätinen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Problem is that I cannot tell you at the moment how to prevent cupsd from trying to acess usb printers. Maybe you can try googling after cups usb to find some answers.

When testing, respect the same rules as you always should do: test as if you were a first-time Gentooist (i.e. follow the Installation manual, don't use ~x86 when bootstrapping and so on) - Happy testing ;) -- GPG-Public-Key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0xC31DEDD8 Key-Fingerprint: 4E65 AAFE 785B 61D8 E4D9 1671 E017 87B7 C31D EDD8 ICQ: 239829549 Jabber:[EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

Is that something that is going to be installed on a regular gentoo installation? So to install with NPTL, do I just set the nptl use flag and bootstrap?

[gentoo-user] confused about NPTL and 2.6 headers
I have seen several posts recently stating that one must have the Linux 2.6 kernel headers installed in order to build glibc with NPTL. I was under the impression that one just needed to have a running 2.6 kernel and the glibc build will pick up the headers from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include That is how I have built my systems with NPTL, with 2.4.21 kernel headers installed.

I take it that courier is running on a different machine from that on

DESCRIPTION
The maildirmake command creates maildirs, and maildir
folders. This
documentation describes the maildirmake command from the
Courier mail
server, which creates an extended form of maildirs that
implements
additional extensions beyond the basic maildir properties
that were
first implemented in the Qmail mail server.
..
By itself, maildirmake makes a new subdirectory maildir, and
creates
all the necessary structures. The -f option creates a new
folder
within an existing maildir. maildir must already exist,
and the
maildirmake command will create a new folder in the maildir.

[gentoo-user] Bash Scripting - pipes, quoting stuff
Ok... I'm stuck. I'm trying to use vgetty as an answerphone. I have got it answering the calls, playing the out-going message recording peoples' messages to me fine. vgetty has an option in its config file to execute a command when it has finished recording the message, and will pass that command the message's filename as its argument. I want vgetty to email me the incoming messages, but some processing needs to be done first; since the file is saved by vgetty in .rmd (Rockwell Modem Device?) format it has to be converted to .pvf (Portable Voice File?) before being converted to .wav. I then want to convert it to .mp3 (to save bandwidth, and because the MP3 seems the most ubiquitous compressed format) before emailing it to myself. I *can* use `cat foo.wav | uuencode foo.wav | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] to send a binary file to myself and it would seem to be readable using my Mac's email client, but to be tidy and because I don't know on which system I'll be listening to messages in the future I want to add the correct MIME headers. After some Googling, reading of the fine manual, use of `apropos` c c it seems that I have a command called `makemime` installed on my Gentoo system (by CourierIMAP or maildrop) which should do the task. So I start to write a little shell script as a wrapper. I've spent a little time making sure each part works ok... piping text-files into sendmail, and renaming the original file after the timedate when the script has finished. But when I get to the actual piping of a file into `makemime` it falls over. Now this is really weird, because I can do it from the commandline fine, but not it seems as part of a shell script. At the commandline: $ cat foo.wav | makemime -c audio/x-wav -e base64 - Content-Type: audio/x-wav Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 UklGRqaKAQBXQVZFZm10IBABAAEAIBwAACAcAAABAAgAZGF0YYGKAQCAf39/f39/ gICAgICA gICAgIB/f39/f39/f4CAgICAgICAf39/fn5+fn9/gICAgYGBgYGAgH9/f39/ f3+AgICAgICAgH9/ ... I've attached my script. I'm guessing that someone out there will find it laughably easy to explain why this isn't working for me, but I'm absolutely baffled. If I run this script the result of the 2nd-last (uncommented) line indicates that I am trying the very same commands variables as I've shown above, and if I copy paste that line back into my terminal, it works fine.

Roy Kidder wrote: I recently installed Gentoo on a Compaq (there is very little differences between the Compaq and HP laptops, other than the name on the case). The install went pretty smoothly. The only odd thing I had to do was turn of legacy support for USB in the BIOS. Other than that, it was a pretty standard install. It even liked my display (1280x1024 instead of the standard 1024x768). Good luck, Roy Does USB work even though legacy support is turned off?

Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Courier Help
I take it that courier is running on a different machine from that on
which you're downloading the POP3 to..? Because it would be very weird
if you downloaded POP3 into the same folder that IMAP was reading from.
I only use courier's IMAP functions.
I want to support both becausesome of my users do not understand IMAP (Don't
ask my why they don't take the time to learn, but they don't).
And yes this is on a separate machine. I have several machines in the
network, and I'm trying (as a test) to download mail via POP and via IMAP
from the server to this client machine.
Anyway, you should already have looked in /etc to see if your install
has put an configuration files there, and taken a look at them so you
can edit accordingly. You should find:
It did, and that is one of the areas I have a problem with.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $ sudo grep -i maildir

[EMAIL PROTECTED] stroller $
ok, I'm getting closer I think... It lets me log in now, but it does not
show any message folders. Not even my inbox.
I noticed the maildirmake. I even ran maildirmake /home/dan/.mail/inbox, and
it said it created it. But despite the folder being present and having the
new, cur and tmp folders inside of it, cur containing messages (hundreds of
them) it does not show in my imap list. The pop system seems to be working
fine now that I set the pop3d MAILDIR property to .mail/inbox then I see
ONLY the inbox. Despite having around 10 folders there including the inbox.
Let me re-state my desired config for the imap system and you can tell me
what I've done wrong.
All new mail (that is not filtered by procmail) gets delivered to a maildir
folder at /home/user/.mail/inbox. For example, if user joe gets mail
delivered via the MTA, it creates a file in /home/joe/.mail/inbox/new. His
.mail folder looks like:
.mail:
inbox
.mail/inbox:
cur new tmp
now user sally has procmail setup so that messages from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] goes to the steve folder, and everything else goes to
the normal inbox. So her setup looks like:
.mail
inbox steve
.mail/inbox
cur new tmp
.mail/steve
cur new tmp
So when joe logs into imap for the first time his client creates two new
folders: sent and drafts, So now his mail folder looks like:
.mail:
drafts inbox sent
.mail/drafts
cur new tmp
.mail/inbox
cur new tmp
.mail/sent
cur new tmp
Meanwhile, sally also logs onto the imap server for the first time. She gets
the same two new folders, resulting in:
.mail
drafts inbox sent steve
.mail/drafts
cur new tmp
.mail/inbox
cur new tmp
.mail/sent
cur new tmp
.mail/steve
cur new tmp
now with this setup, to the Imap client, Saly sees four folders:
Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and steve
Joe sees three:
Inbox, Drafts, Sent
That is the setup I am after. Please help me to understand how to set that
up. I'm trying. I even PRINTED the maildirmake man page. I just am not
understanding what I'm soposed to do here.

Aaron Walker said: Does USB work even though legacy support is turned off? I'm not sure what Compaq/HP considers legacy USB... possibly USB 1.x? In any event, the only thing I've had the opportunity to test is a 16MB keyring flash card creature that came free with my laptop. Gentoo recognized it and loaded the appropriate modules, making it appear as /dev/sda. I was able to mount it and copy files back and forth, which was the extent of my testing.
