[gentoo-user] Re: gentoo and rc hell?
Dmitry S. Makovey dmitry at athabascau.ca writes:
Hi everybody,
Brief:
I've got simple question: is it possible to support multiple environment
configuration with gentoo like netenv in Debian?
Full:
I've got laptop which I use in several different environments: home, office,
presentation, server room, etc. Each requires number of configuration files
to be altered (xorg.conf, net, hostname, etc.) and different services to be
run. Now I've read about custom run-levels for gentoo but couldn't figure
out how to apply it to different sets of config files.
So far I've developed set of scripts to manage environment changes by simply
copying files from /etc/laptop.d/env_name to /etc so everything works fine,
BUT when I try to use those scripts on startup I have a problem: I need to
run my script after local systems are mounted (I have helper scripts
in /usr/local/sbin so I can reconfigure laptop on-the-fly without reboot)
but before hostname is set up and network interfaces are brought up. Doing
any combination of after, before and needs in my rc-script I just can't
make it run when I need it to (i.e. just after localmount and before
hostname).
Any suggestions and hints are welcome.
Hi,
i resolved this problem in the following way:
1) i created several entries in grub.conf for the same kernel, passing a kernel
parameter like this:
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/kernel-2.6.8.r3 root=/dev/hda6 acpi=on netlocation=home
The name of the parameter has been chosen by me.
2) i created a script that is executed during startup with the following action:
snip
#!/bin/sh
# description: copy network config file according to boot parameters
netlocation=
for copt in $( /proc/cmdline)
do
case ${copt%=*} in
netlocation)
netlocation=${copt##*=}
;;
esac
done
if [ -n ${netlocation} ]
then
cp /etc/conf.d/netlocation/${netlocation}/net /etc/conf.d/net
cp /etc/conf.d/netlocation/${netlocation}/hosts /etc/hosts
fi
exit 0
/snip
This examines the command line of the kernel for the existence of the parameter
netlocation, takes it value to construct a path and copies the files found there
in the right positions.
3) created the folders required (see the two cp statements at the end of the
script).
This can be extended to almost any config file, maybe there should be a test for
existence of each file before copying to have the choice which files will be
overwritten for each configuration.
Best regards,
Jens

I thought I will try Gentoo to learn more about linux. I had problem with configuring the kernel compiling options with the PCMCIA supprt. I got the following error: Cardmgr[5752]: no sockets found While this kernel boots ok, but the PCMCIA ethernet card does not work. Then I thought I will build a kernel with genkernel and use its .config file as the basis of my next menuconfig kernel. But I could not find one after genkernel has built the kernel. So, my questions is that 1. what is the cardmgr[5752] means? 2. where can I find the .config if the kernel is built with genkernel? 3. how can I check if a particular kernel has certain options compiled in? For example, the alsa support. Many thanks CHUN Ps, I now have a functional gentoo using the kernel built by genkernel. Hi, I don't know the answer your first and second question. At least I can answer your third question. If you use 2.6.x kernel, then there is an option about it. Kernel will store its own .config file and you can view it in /proc. The exact filename escaped from my mind, but it is written in the help of this option. If you are interested about modules, you could use modconf. It will list the available modules for the runnng kernel. HTH. Cheers, Tamas Sarga -- A day is 24 hours long. Egy nap 24 rbl ll. A box of beer contains 24 bottles. Egy tlcn 24 veg sr van.

Hi,
I also had problems with CDRW. My user somehow *fall out* from CDROM and

And of course don't try IDE-SCSI. It isn't recommended under 2.6.x.

[gentoo-user] can't get rw permissions on nfs mount
I'm trying to export an NFS mount for my LAN. Here's the relevant line of my /etc/exports file: /video192.168.1.1/255.255.0.0(rw,sync) Now, when I mount this share from another PC, I can't create any new files on it, even though mount reports the mount as being mounted rw: mount 192.168.1.1:/video on /video/septictank type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.1) Even as root I cannot create any files. In fact, I can only cd one directory below /video. On the NFS server, I set all my directory (and sub-directory) permissions to 777, yet that doesn't change anything. I have other NFS shares exported that work as I expect. The only that is different about this one is that it's an XFS filesystem. Can XFS filesystems not be used with NFS?

[gentoo-user] WiFi success story :|
Hi all, I can't nderstand why things working on LFS, Redhat 7, Aurox, Mandrake, Slackware and Debian don't work on Gentoo. I have (had) a working WiFi net at home. The machine I upgraded from Aurox to Gentoo wasn't a participant in this net some time. I need a driver - of course. The WiFi card is an Intel ProWireless 2200. I've choosen the Linux driver for this card. It worked on LFS, Slack and Aurox. O.K. I've built it for Gentoo too (without emerge - of course ;). The firmware of the card is uploaded using hotplug. So ... ``emerge hotplug'' ... and the driver stops working. O.K., I've solved this. # rc-update del hotplug boot # emerge --unmerge hotplug # bunzip2 hotplug.tar.bz2 # tar -xf hotplug.tar # cd hotplug # make # make install ``modprobe'' now shows, that everything works like a charm (and there isn't even a service started). Now I need wireless-tools. This is masked. I don't have a clue why. I have a working installation on LFS and (had) a working installation on Aurox. I tried to install the Gentoo package using ebuild. The fetch told me, that the Gentoo people force everybody who needs wireless-tools to download and install madwifi. WHY?? None of my wireless-tools installations is dependent on this (Intel ProWireless 2200, Edimax, Prism2.5 none of this cards need madwifi). O.K. this is solved too. # emerge --unmerge wireless-tools # emerge --unmerge madwifi # bunzip wireless-tools.tar.bz2 # tar -xf wireless-tools.tar # cd wireless-tools # make # make install Now I have a further working installation again. ... so the machine is in the net again :) I'd smile even more if I had achieved this in a more Gentoo way. :| Well, now when I've convinced the machine running Gentoo to co-work in the net, I've a further question.

Re: [gentoo-user] Virtual mail and mysql
Speaking from a postfix background...so it could all be rubbish! The tables can overlap in function. Generally you want virtual and alias - the rest can probably be ignored: Alias maps one local user to another ie root - fred would be typical so fred gets all the root mail. Relocated is for people who have left - ignore it transport is specifying a certain route (ie smtp server) for a non local user - ignore it users are the local accounts - john and paul, plus a whole load of default stuff virtual is normally when you can map one user to another in another domain, you can also map locally so thats why it overlaps with aliases. I generally use alias to redirect local mail to another local account and virtual to map full email addresses to local users. Kevin.

If you enable that option on Behavior and then hold hit Shift+Delete it will permanently delete the files. At least that was the was it was in FC1.

It's built into the kernel and I can't for any reason see why you're emerging it directly... The built-in alsa is working fine for my soundcard, so maybe that's you're original issue, but I don't know... I just did an emerge --search of alsa-driver and it is showing as not installed. Did an emerge --pretend gnome and it does not come up as a dependency to be installed. I've got alsa in my USE flags, so it knows that I'm using it. It's always been a pain to use alsa drivers of a different release than the one included with the kernel. They have to be defined as modules, they have to be rebuilt after a successful kernel upgrade (or the different alsa modules will not be available to the new kernel), etc. It has always been recommended by all distributions (and alsa project, I believe) to stick with the built in alsa driver version unless you absolutely need a newer driver.

Audio enthusiasts need a bleeding edge alsa than the relatively old one that's approved into the kernel. Just because good enough is OK for you, doesn't mean that it's ok for everyone else. I personally find what is built into the kernel to be fine. However, I also find the vanilla kernel to not be snappy enough for my requirements.

RE: [gentoo-user] Gnome Emerge fails
To believe that the box you hold with square holes is sufficient to satisfy all other people's shapes spherical and elliptical is just not what Gentoo is about. Nor do I believe that no one should use alsa drivers outside of the kernel; obviously there is full support for using a bleeding edge driver when it is needed. I happen to be running nitro patches on my 2.6.10 kernel so I'm already using the bleeding edge alsa driver, and I know many other folks may want and/or need a different alsa driver; that wasn't the point I was trying to make. Neither party said that they were trying to emerge gnome so they could use a bleeding edge sound application, they just indicated that gnome was failing, the failure was due to a lack of alsa-driver, and they could not figure out how to resolve the problem. Even if they were going to be using a cutting edge sound app, I'd still suggest to them that they use the built in alsa driver to get their core components installed (i.e. gnome), then upgrade to a new alsa driver when they're ready to install that new wizbang sound app. Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] DWL-520 Rev. E - anyone have this working on Gentoo?
Hi all, On my son's computer I run FC2. He just uses it for homework and I don't want to spend time building code so FC2 was a good choice for me. I got wireless working on that machine using ndiswrapper and a DWL-520. It works great. My wife's old, slow Windows box has been getting flaky from adware. I clean it up. It gets bogged down again. She got frustrated enough that she bought herself a new 3GHz P4HT machine and asked me to load Linux. Certainly it could handle Gentoo but in a rush I put FC2 on it and then went to the store to get a wireless NIC for her. I thought I was in fat city when I found that DLink still manufactured the DWL-520 and I could get it for $9 after rebates so I bought one, brought it home and installed it. Guess what? It's not the same chipset! My son's 520 uses a Realtek chipset and the new one uses a Prism chipset and ndiswrapper locks up on the FC2 kernel, apparently due to FC2 using 4K kernel stack sizes. So, does anyone have the 520 Rev. E using a Prism chipset running on Gentoo using ndiswrapper? If so I'll start switching the machine over this morning and likely she'll be a Gentoo user in the next day or two, but please don't ask me to do it for Gentoo vs. FC2 reasons. She'd be very happy with FC2 for her first Linux box. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I wrote both backup scripts back when I was using FC1 on my client PC.

Full backup is on Sunday; every other day gets iBackup. They're listed in the crontab to run at 3am. The trouble is each morning when I'm reading my cron report for the backup it says that there was a problem with tar in my script, but when I run the script from the command line as root it works fine. I scheduled the script in root's (su -) crontab. Probably a difference in cron's environment versus the environment that you're starting the command in as root... When I encounter things like this I'll tend to flush out the script with additional environment properties to make things work. You can do this by prepending environment settings manually into the start of the script (typically the PATH is the critical one), or you can automate part of it by following the suggestion for using an 'at' script as the basis for the cron script as documented here: http://www.cod.utvinternet.com/documentation/mondo-with-cron/mondo-with- cron -5.html This suggestion is from mondo-rescue, but you'd do a similar thing with 'at' using your script name. I'm willing to bet that this will fix your cron issue. Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] DWL-520 Rev. E - anyone have this working on Gentoo?
I thought I was in fat city when I found that DLink still manufactured the DWL-520 and I could get it for $9 after rebates so I bought one, brought it home and installed it. Guess what? It's not the same chipset! My son's 520 uses a Realtek chipset and the new one uses a Prism chipset and ndiswrapper locks up on the FC2 kernel, apparently due to FC2 using 4K kernel stack sizes. while I'm not knowledgeable on this board, did you drop the ndiswrapper and try modprobe prisim or prism54?

[gentoo-user] Updating world broken?
Hello! I have just noticed that pdflib and wine are not listed by `emerge -upvD world`.

But after `euse -E cups` it showed up in `emerge -upvD world` list, so I suspect that it can somehow be problem with flags. I noticed a lot of use flag changes (i.e i am sure cups was enabled before, but probably not in make.conf - does use defaults changed?). What can be a problem here? I just can have more apps that can be updated but I don't have idea which and I really like to be up-to-date :P Greets, Marcin Daczkowski PS: i found pdflib needs updating because glsa - it was on list of vuln but not in -upvD world :] -- chmod -x chmod -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

That driver starts loading but then says the card's firmware isn't present and bombs out. (The firmware is present. I put the card in a Windows box and it works fine.) I then switched to ndiswrapper which on FC2. You have to do pretty much everything by hand with ndiswrapper. In that setup ndiswrapper says the driver and hardware are present, and modprobe ndiswrapper will load the Windows driver, and genreally I can scan for and sometimes see the router, but then the system hangs after 2-3 minutes and I have to pull the power plug to get back. The box will not respond to any other stimulus. So, ndiswrapper seems like a reasonable way to go, and if I have to build a kernel then I'd rather use Gentoo and get the advantages of portage over time.

on 23 Nov 2004 for shadow-4.0.5-r{2,3}, and shadow-4.0.6,

Michael replied with his own solution, and you fired back, questioning the reason for using the alsa ebuilds. There are reasons, and that was the point I wanted to make. James probably should unmerge alsa, and use the version in the 2.6 kernel. Before knowing his reason for using the ebuild, it's not really fair to question it.
