[gentoo-user] Cobalt RAQ
Does anyone have experience with installation of Gentoo onto Cobalt RAQ?

Re: [gentoo-user] Dumping an image to a printer
I have a printer that doesn't have Linux drivers, but I know people are able to print to it from within perl by referencing the device directly. Would it be possible to print to this printer from within Firefox? I see that you can specify the exact command Firefox executes for printing, but I'm not sure what that would be in this situation. Is there a good command-line tool for sending a binary image file to a device (USB printer) for printing? From the looks of dmesg, the printer is detected and ready to roll. Are you using CUPS? If not, do! If you are running KDE you can use kprinter for that purpose (also in non-KDE apps). I am sure there is a similar solution for GNOME. I you don't run either of them you can still send the image to cupsd on port 631 and let CUPS handle how to treat it. Uwe Thanks guys but I've got to give up on this.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: How secure is osCommerce?
If you're a PHP guy you might want to stick with OSC, but even then I would encourage you to switch to IC. I have to admit I've never delved into OSC and I don't know PHP (IC is a perl app), but now that I've got it under my belt I feel like I have a huge leg up on every non-IC website out there. IC is really just another layer between the code and the developer, but it seems like if someone was building websites in, say: Perl, HTML, and MySQL for a while, eventually they would want to write tools (and a daemon) for the things they are doing over and over again so they can save themselves time, produce highly readable code, and have a really dynamic system in place. IC is like that, but with a bunch of different people developing it over about 10 years. It's still being very actively developed. Of course it's open-source, but I feel like I have 100% control over every aspect of what I produce, and I have never had to modify the core source files. - Grant can you post some url's of some carts, from what ive seen it never looks as smooth and professional as OSC, and the live demo doesnt do it justice, it has nice features, but im going for look. thanks Nick Smith You want look?

OK, this sucks. The ATI drivers are admittedly a (big) pain to install properly, but 1) this is excessive, and 2) this is gentoo, where the drivers are as easy to install as they are ever going to get (given a properly configured kernel). I know this for a fact, because I have installed and used the ATI binary drivers under Mandrake, Debian, SuSE, Slackware and Gentoo, from versions 3.2.8 to 3.14.6, so I'm really familiar with the intricacies of the ATI binary driver's general PITA-ness. Given that fglrx is loaded (it did load after the reboot, right?), this should not be happening. There could be several reasons that it is: 1) drivers not properly compiled (you have booted to the same kernel version that /usr/src/linux is linked to, yes?) 2) kernel misconfigured so driver does not work (main issue is that DRM must be off) 3) X.org misconfiguration (I'll look at your attachment again) 4) driver fault. If you are using the new 8.8.25 drivers, this is quite possible-- a *lot* of people are having trouble getting it installed, under a wide range of distributions; pretty much all of the major ones, though gentoo seems to be having the highest success rate so far. 5) application conflict with any one of the above. I've been following the initial reports on the new ATI binary drivers fairly closely to determine what I should best do (due to a number of factors I don't have gentoo re-installed yet, and these drivers are not backported to SuSE 9.1, which is what I'm using atm)... I do seem to recall some issue with the xv extension (you have to set something in xorg.conf to get it to work), and also conflicts between the driver and x.org 6.8 itself (you can't use the driver DRI and the x.org composite extension together), but one or both of us would have to research that to see what the issues and fixes are specifically. I would suggest checking out the many threads on the Rage3D Linux drivers forums: http://www.rage3d.com/board/forumdisplay.php?f=88 , as it's getting really hard for an 'outsider' like me to keep track of exactly what your config is atm, whereas you are in a much better position to see the big picture (exactly what your errors are, what you have done, how everything is configured). You might also check out the TVTime site at http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/ and/or the Xawtv website at http://linux.bytesex.org/xawtv/ . I also noticed this: you might want to downgrade Xawtv, if you are using version 4.x: Q: what is new in xawtv 4.x There are alot of internal changes which are required for the new features. Due to that several stuff broke. Some just isn't fixed yet and will be available again in the future. Some features are gone forever through. New features and major changes: * MPEG2 software decoding. * Support for DVB cards, including budget cards. * Reworked configuration framework. Dropped features: * Overlay without Xvideo extention. * Switching display resolution. If the fglrx driver has problems with the Xvideo extension (it does; I often can't get it to work), and the current version of xawtv isn't going to run without it, then maybe the version that does allow you to run without that extension would work where this one does not. There's also a bloomin' lot of kernel patches available on the site, which suggests that you might need some patching to get this to work. Sorry not to be more help-- it's not that I'm out of ideas, but that at this point, I'd almost have to be sitting in front of the PC to track this down, given that there are 4 vectors of error (kernel, fglrx driver, X.org, or application). So at this point I'd suggest you start eliminating the vectors methodically: first by checking available sources to see if anyone else has this problem (on rage3D and the TVtime site), then confirming that your kernel is properly configured (on the rage3d forums there is a very good ati driver install how-to, and check the TVtime and xawtv sites to see if there is any specific kernel configuration that those applications need), then making sure that the fglrx rivers you're using actually support the features you need for this to work (rage3d forums again) and/or if there is some conflict between the drivers and the specific features of X.org that may be preventing things from working, and lastly checking the applications' websites to see if the issue is in the faq or is

My ISP uses VPN as well, and at the moment I connect via the LAN using software routing on a Windows machine (the presence of Windows bypasses the OP's issue). However, we are waiting for a router, which supports VPN in hardware and is compatible with both UNIX and Windows, and is configured via a web interface. Don't believe that routers do it in hardware, they don't. ;-) So if the OP had such a router (or, alternatively, if and when I get my bf to switch to Linux, making this a one-OS household), such a kernel patch would no longer be necessary, would it (because the router understands VPN perfectly well, so as long as I give it the correct configuration details, it would work fine)? Yes, it will work with any OS that talks TCP/IP. The router will hold up the tunnels for the VPN and all your computers see will be a normal IP connection. Don't worry! One thing you probably should do (after you have got your router) is set the MTUs (Maximum Transfer Unit) of your computers' ethernet interfaces a bit lower than the usual 1500 to avoid IP fragmentation. I don't know the *exact* number off the top of my head but 1400 should do: ifconfig eth0 mtu 1400 Or am I missing something (I'm no network guru ;-) )? :-) Again: Don't worry, the router will take care of the VPN.

RE: [gentoo-user] OT: How secure is osCommerce?
To actually try and answer the question, I'm somewhat new to OSC. The one glaring thing I find that I wasn't very excited about was the fact that out-of-the-box OSC won't work without register_globals being ON in php.ini. Of course, a .htaccess file solves this locally. However, after looking into it a little deeper, I found that there are lots of 'contributions' to the project by very accomplished developers, one of which fixes this glitch so that OSC runs with register_globals turned OFF (and will tell you if it is turned ON). As far as the overall security, it appears as though it can run with SSL (although I haven't finished the setup yet). As an aside, the look and feel of OSC isn't the prettiest I will agree; but it doesn't have to stay that way. There are approximately 20+ pages of free themes that can be applied to it. The basic structure of the display remains (which is also customizable if you want to dig into the code or ask someone for help), but it's livable considering the amount of functionality that is packed into this app. hth... -Original Message- From: Grant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2005 4:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] OT: How secure is osCommerce? If you're a PHP guy you might want to stick with OSC, but even then I would encourage you to switch to IC. I have to admit I've never delved into OSC and I don't know PHP (IC is a perl app), but now that I've got it under my belt I feel like I have a huge leg up on every non-IC website out there. IC is really just another layer between the code and the developer, but it seems like if someone was building websites in, say: Perl, HTML, and MySQL for a while, eventually they would want to write tools (and a daemon) for the things they are doing over and over again so they can save themselves time, produce highly readable code, and have a really dynamic system in place. IC is like that, but with a bunch of different people developing it over about 10 years. It's still being very actively developed. Of course it's open-source, but I feel like I have 100% control over every aspect of what I produce, and I have never had to modify the core source files. - Grant can you post some url's of some carts, from what ive seen it never looks as smooth and professional as OSC, and the live demo doesnt do it justice, it has nice features, but im going for look. thanks Nick Smith You want look?

Don't believe that routers do it in hardware, they don't. ;-) Ok, I can accept that, but my point --as relates to the original complaint-- is generally that under Linux this is essentially the same situation as if one had a winmodem; you have to add another piece of hardware that speaks the language of VPN natively (whether that be a old box that one sets up with Windows as a router, or a hardware router that does so through its own firmware), because we have established that direct software connection via pptp + kernel patch is not going to be happening for perfectly valid reasons. It's usually not necessary to replace/add hardware under Linux, but on the odd occasion it is. It's usually not an expensive proposition, though (if a router costs too much in one's country, there is always the old Windows box possibility, which really should be cheap, since it doesn't have to be anything like a powerhouse; an old 486 will work for that purpose). I thought that the OP was overlooking this, but (not being a network guru) I wasn't sure.

Re: [gentoo-user] Any way to kill frozen X/KDE?
so far you have it completly disabled by having it set to 0 in xorg.conf. my guess it would either disable it or change it to one x. what I would do is re-enable it in xorg.conf and and try it disabled in the bios. but before you do run a glxgears and see if it improves it any if you disable it in the bios On Sat, 2005-01-22 at 03:43 +, Peng wrote: On 01/20/05 17:57, Peng wrote: On 01/20/05 14:12, Douglas James Dunn wrote: you try going into your bios and lowering the AGP settings to 4x or 2x?

[gentoo-user] A peculiar DNS puzzle...
I wonder if anyone can offer me any hints about a peculiar problem I'm experiencing - apparently with DNS lookups. I've been away from Linux for a few years but have recently installed Gentoo with a view to using it as a SO/HO email/file/print server... I used to consider myself a competent Linux user and adequate administrator back in the days of Redhat 6 - however I'm entirely new to Gentoo... so I'm ignorant of anything Gentoo related which I've not read in the installation guide. I've a small network with a WinXp PC, Gentoo PC and Dlink 504T ADSL router/NAT/Firewall/Ethernet Switch box. The Dlink serves DHCP services and DNS to my LAN - these DLink services have been verified as working flawlessly from my WinXp PC. The DLINK has an IP address of 192.168.1.1 (as is default) and this is my default gateway and DNS server setting under XP where everything seems to work fine. With Gentoo I opted for a stage3 install from the 2004.3 universal live CD - and found problems without having installed anything significant from portage. The first problem came when trying to run emerge --sync - where I couldn't do DNS lookups at all in a chrooted environment... I found a hack on the web and added an rsync server by IP4 address to make.conf - and that got me a bootable install. Once booted (and obvious configurations were appropriately tinkered with as suggested in the install guide) I wanted to install some portage... and here I hit a problem... wget fails to correctly resolve my selected mirror's DNS name - reporting that the domain resolves to the IP4 address of 1.0.0.0... and then it hangs while trying to connect. This is a problem for wget not only for the selected mirror but for every other website I try when using wget directly. If I ping the same DNS name, however, ping correctly resolves the IP, and there is no problem. Strangely - if I then try wget again - wget correctly resolves the domain name and downloads the source. The domain name resolves correctly for a few minutes allowing repeated use of wget - but after an hour of inactivity (I didn't time this) - I'm back to the old problem with 1.0.0.0 as the resolved address for DNS names when using wget. I've tried several ideas and made several observations trying to resolve this - such as: * Established that it doesn't matter if the WinXp or Gentoo box pings the DNS name - both cause wget to correctly resolve. *On WinXp IE/Firefox and wget,Ping,lynx etc under cygwin work flawlessly - and resolves DNS names all the time. * Flashing the Dlink with the latest firmware was successful but had no effect on the Gentoo DNS problem. * my resolv.conf file has nameserver 192.168.1.1 - which looks correct according to the docs. I've not installed a Gentoo name server (such as bind) - I was under the impression this wasn't strictly necessary. * Gentoo has an IP address 192.168.1.4 (assigned by the DLink - and the administrative interface shows no problems with that LAN connection. * If I update make.conf to include -ipv6 (which I assume would disable IPV6 support) in the USE flags and the use emerge to re-build packages where use flags have changed - this has no effect. * If I emerge lynx, lynx has the same apparent problems as wget under Gentoo - which sort-of suggests ping works somehow differently. * If I use wget or lynx to try and resolve a non-existent hostname I get an error message telling me about this - and not the address 1.0.0.0 - the wget process doesn't hang for invalid DNS names. Can anyone tell me if I'm doing anything obviously wrong? Can anyone tell me why ping 'magically' makes DNS work from Gentoo for a while? Can anyone tell me if I'm following best Gentoo practice configuring my nameserver only in resolve.conf ? Would installing a caching nameserver be a way to resolve the problem or complicate the issue of resolving this bug in my install? Can anyone say if this is more likely a fault with DLink DNS provision or with my own Gentoo configuration? Thanks in advance... Steve -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: AMD64 vs P4 w/HT
In my professional opinion... Its not worth it. Moores law is almost up. Soon we wont get any more transistors in the chips. The research community knows this. because And on top of that there has been remarkable strides in the field of quantum computing. There are already working prototypes of quantum computers. With a fully functional quantum computer ... well with the amount of compared throughput it would make modern computing now look like ... well a slide rule. The basic differences for the 64 bit processing is using 64 bits to process rather than 32. AMDs processor is basically an x86 with a 64 bit extension. A quantum computer on the otherhand instead of using a queue to process one calculation at a time. It can do a lot at once. I believe that 64 bit computing will just begin to gain momentum when quantum computing makes it obsolete.

It would be pretty pointless to install X on a server box. Is there a way to install these JDKs without X? As Matan Peled already mentioned, you do not need X to install the JDK. However, Java programs that use the AWT may need a connection to an X server - this includes several programs that create images since they use AWT facilities. You *may* be able to use the headless AWT functions (see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/awt/AWTChanges.html#headless for details) but otherwise you'll need an X server. If you want a headless server box, Xvfb (X virtual frame buffer) may be a good option to use for this. -- Manuel A.

Maybe courier needs hashes of the ca cert (i would wonder if this is true for server-only certificate policy, but it may be cruical when using client certificates).
