Re: [gentoo-user] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables help!
Can you compile a simple "Helloworld".cxx?
When I look at the output of gcc-config, I see you have both version 3.3.5
and 3.4.3 installed. Are you sure these don't interact in some unexpected
way?
When emerging something, you get a log file
in /var/tmp/portage//work//configure.log. Have a look at
it and look for the compiler's errormessage.
Greetings

Re: [gentoo-user][SOLVED] connrate replacement
- use "tc" and the QoS-Kernel-Features. I don't mind recompiling the kernel and would rather use a generic tool useful for system administration later down the road. Looks like tc is the way to go. It gives you a lot of options. It's in the iproute2-package. It has a little high learning curve, but you can do really interesting things and even simulate higher latencies. For a good introduction see the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HowTo, http://lartc.org You can use netfilter here, too, to mark the relevant packets. Eventually I came up with a simple tc config which works for me now but the actual transfer rates are 10 times higher than I would expect: tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: htb r2q 1 tc class add dev lo parent 1: classid 1:10 htb rate 56kbit ceil 56kbit tc filter add dev lo protocol ip parent 1: prio 1 handle 10 fw flowid 1:10 HTB FAQ: Why HTB sharing setup works with eth0 but on lo (loopback) it exhibits weird rates ? Try to execute ifconfig lo mtu 1500 or use parameter on "tc qdisc add" line. It is because HTB reserves rate table for 1500 bytes long packets and loopback uses 16384 as default. Except mtu 16400 should be added to the class. Happy now. Thanks again, Hans. That was quite educational. Using firewall rules to mark traffic for routing and throttling is cool. Exactly what I was looking for.. Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] connrate replacement
Could you please suggest something I could use to limit transfer rates to/from selected ports. Need to simulate dial-up connections locally. You can - use trickle, which is a userspace solution using preloading for glibc's networking functions (does work on a per-application base similar to "nice"), - use netfilter to route relevant connections through a shaper device (which is a - AFAIK - experimental kernel feature, - use "tc" and the QoS-Kernel-Features. I'd suggest trickle if the other solutions would mean that you'd have to recompile your kernel. It's very easy to use. Thanks a lot Hans, I don't mind recompiling the kernel and would rather use a generic tool useful for system administration later down the road. Looks like tc is the way to go. I have some BSD experience but I'm relatively new to Linux and probably was looking for traffic shapers in a wrong place. This netfilter approach you've mentioned. Is it something different from iptables extensions you have to compile with the kernel? Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] connrate replacement
Hi all, AFAIK iptables connrate extension isn't available with 2.6.10 kernels. Could you please suggest something I could use to limit transfer rates to/from selected ports. Need to simulate dial-up connections locally. Thanks in advance, Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

What steps did you take? I have the same MoBo, and the port that should be a 2.0 Port is acutally a 1.1 port (The uhci-driver grabs all four double-slots, the ehci loads and tells it has two ports, but they are physically not present).

You can use commands or something else - it's your choise. You can try emerge ldapbrowser for GUI. You need to authenticate in LDAP to modify entries because You need no anybody able to do this.

Re: [gentoo-user] Warnings on system startup
Sometimes I get warnings on system startup when caching service dependencies. Something like ln: creating symlink `/var/lib/init.d/started/checkroot` to `/etc/init.d/checkroot`: File exists or Read-only filesystem or similar warnings for other services. What's the problem here? It seems to be totally harmless but quite irritating nonetheless. Check the contents of your /etc/fstab, especially the 4th field which determines how your partitions are mounted (read-only, etc etc) I only have one partition for root and I'm sure it's rw. The above warnings probably indicate that root hasn't been remounted rw yet during system startup but why? Does it have something to do with udev? But you're ignoring one half of the possible causes: File exists *or* Read-only filesystem Maybe the probem is that the file (symlink) (pre-)exists, when it should/need not (since it is apparently created during the boot process)? It's either File exists or Read-only filesystem. It may be File exists for checkroot and Read-only filesystem for hostname. The list of services may vary from time to time. And it doesn't happen on *each* reboot. If the system shuts down cleanly /var/lib/init.d/started should be empty. Checked this a couple of times booting from livecd. I wouldn't mind these File exists warnings after system crash. But it has to happen yet. Read-only filesystem shouldn't be there either 'cause service caching should happen way after the root is remounted rw. I can only think of checkroot service failing to remount the root rw or something. These irritating messages are probably the only problem I have with my Gentoo box.

[gentoo-user] XORG keybord konfiguration
Hi there! After moving from xfree86 to xorg-x11 I have a serious problem with my keyboard. The problem is, that my notebook doesn't seem to have a keyboard that is 100% compatible with a normal german one. Inparticular, the less/greater key is on a different position and has a different keycode (106 instead of 94 in the "standard" one). Under xfree, it was sufficient to change /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 and redefine LSGT to 106, but this doesn't seem to work under xorg (I copied the xkb/keycodes/xfree86 file from the old version) What do I have to do to fix this?

Is kernel pppoe that much better performance-wise? I still run the
old system on my router, mainly out of lazyness ...
Another thing I noticed was broken in 2.6.1 on my Debian machine was
the IHC dhcp server - it complained because it was compiled with a 2.4
kernel, a simple recompile solved the problem, though.

Yeah maybe. By the way, may I suggest you openbox (version 3 and up)
instead of blackbox? It has more deps and the themefile format isn't
compatible to blackbox anymore, but it's pretty fast and looks pretty
similiar to bb AND conforms to freedesktop.org standards. It doesn't
have a RootCommand though. :P If you try it, try obconf as well, to
configure the wm.

It seems as if gcc produces assembler code that as does net (yet)
understand.
I suggest to switch back to pentium3 for the package that fails; I think you
won't notice any difference in performance. If it happens to more packages
in base system, I suggest to compile the whole base system with pentium3.
IMHO P4 optimization makes only sense for applications that really _need_
the performance. If it makes too many troubles, the performace gain of less
than 1% for "normal" applications isn't worth the time you spend.

Alex

AFAIK vmware create a large file in /tmp-directory, which represents the guest's physical memory. In your case this file will be >128M (it needs some extra-mem, don't ask me for what). These file is hidden, you can't see it (even with ls -la, since it is immedately deleted after creation). So, does the partition holding your /tmp-directory have enough free space to store this file?

Did you compile floppy support in your kernel configuration as module?
If so, you probably forgot to load the floppy-module...
So:
1) Check if your kernel has floppy support at all, either modular or
directly built in.
2) Make sure the kernel finds the floppy. When including floppy support
directly (i.e. not as module), you should look at the boot messages if it
finds the floppy. If compiled as module, there should come some message
when inserting the floppy-module. See the kernel boot messages with dmesg.
3) Make sure your /etc/modules.devfs contains the lines
# Floppies
alias /dev/floppy floppy
alias /dev/fd* floppy
If you never changed this file, its probably ok.
Greetings,
Alex

[gentoo-user] Xine and alsa: howto specify the card to use?
Hello there!
My PC has two soundcards, and I'd like to configure xine to use the second
one instead of the first, which is default. I'm using alsa, which is built
in kernel 2.6.0.
Question: How do I specify the device to use?
/dev/sound/dsp1
/dev/sound/adsp1
/proc/asound/card1/pcm0p
card1
None of these devices worked. I always get the error message similar to
this:
ALSA lib pcm.c:1906:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM /dev/sound/dsp1
load_plugins: failed to load audio output plugin
What is the correct device?
Is there some documentation of alsa's device naming scheme available,
i.e. what is the nearest equivalent to oss' /dev/dsp?
Thanks & Merry Christmas,
Alex

[gentoo-user] USB storage questions
Hi there! When I connect an external harddisk/cdrom/memory-stick via USB, a new scsi device appears, lets say /dev/sda, partition information is read correctly and I can mount and use partitions without any problem. After unmounting all mounted partitions of the drive and disconnecting it, the device /dev/sda is still there, of course giving me i/o-Errors when accessing it. Even after connecting a different disk, /proc/scsi/scsi still holds information about the old disk, no new disk. Accessing the new disk is not possible, I have to restart the hotplug to make it work. So, question is, is there anything I can do against it or is it just a nasty bug in hotplug/usb? BTW: I just upgraded to hotplug-20030805-r2 and restartet the service.

I have added the line to the kernel hdc=ide-scsi since the plextor is locatede on hdc. Also I have tried several commands: # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom # mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt /cdrom (Since this is the exact line in my /etc/fstab) # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 # mount /-t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom and these are the errors I have recived: mount: you must specify the filesystem mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: No media found mount: special drive /dev/cdrom does not exist Please help guys, I would really appreciate your help in resolving this drive issue.

[gentoo-user] Sound problem
Hi all, I've just installed gentoo 1.4 for the first time, so I'm not very familiar with the system yet, and obviously I've still got a few problems. Let's begin with the sound, when I run sound-using applications (as root), I get error messages of the '/dev/sound/dsp not found' variety. When I check, indeed there's no /dev/sound/dsp, but there is a /dev/sound/dspW. I suppose that's the device I need to use instead, so I made a symbolic link /dev/sound/dsp to it, but to no avail. IIRC in my previous linux install (debian woody) the sound device was /dev/dsp, and I got that one working fine (after fixing some permission problems).

Where are you in the install process? Is the livecd still mounted? Are you in the chroot shell? If this is a finished install, do you have an entry in fstab to support the mount /mnt/cdrom?

Currently when using a ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=arch system and mixing it with some ~arch ebuilds it will break 'emerge -UDvp world'. Leaving the -D (deep) out will fix this, but of course wont upgrade the ebuilds that aren't recorded in /var/cache/edb/world and have been installed as dependencies. What you could do, but what is pretty uggly is: # emerge -Uvp `qpkg -I|sed s/every ebuild that is ~arch masked//` Or instead of substituting the masked ebuilds, you could inject them. Also ugly IMHO.

I guess you had a dual-boot system, gentoo and redhat on the same drive at the same time in different partitions. Harddisks usually have different speeds at inner and outer sectors, which can vary upto a factor of two. Additionally, fragmentation is an issue, especially on very large files like iso-images (but it is far beyond the bad fragmentation behaviour of a fat fs, but its noticeable) Greetings, Alex -- Alexander Puchmayr PGP/GPG-Key: http://puchmayr.linznet.at/private/alex_pubkey.asc -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Printing 2 pages/sheet with cups fails
Hi List! The KDE (kde-3.1.4 on gentoo linux) print dialog has a nice feature to setup printing with 2 or 4 pages per sheet using "psnup". This works fine with LPD or LPR as print system, but does actually nothing when CUPS is selected as print system.

[gentoo-user] cloop and kernel parameter
Hi there!
I just tried to emerge cloop, and I got an error message:
* You have not enabled the zlib compression and/or decompression options
* in your Linux kernel.
*
* You must configure both options to be compiled into your kernel; cloop
* will not compile if the zlib options are compiled as modules
So, next step would be to enable these options, but my menuconfig does not
have these options (Library functions contains only quicksort, no zlib).
BTW: the kernel is gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r7
When I edit the .configfile myself and set the CONFIG_ZLIB... paramters to
'y' manually, then subsequent menuconfigs turn them back to 'm' again.
So, how do I install cloop?
Greetings
Alex

I've removed the ebuild and have no plans on putting it back in portage unless some agreement can be made between id software and the games team. Actually, this has prompted me to also remove RTCW and the quake3 based games, since they all have this same problem. > (3) The other non-interactive option is as mentioned in the previous email > adding a wrapper to the main executable which asks for consent on first > run and then stores evidence of consent on the local filesystem. All > future executions of the game proceed as normal. This isn't what Timothy was proposing. He was proposing a wrapper on the *installer*, which does us zero good and serves no purpose other than to add another layer of useless cruft. > I look forward to receiving feedback on these propositions and trust that > a mutual agreement shall be reached between all concerned parties. Yes, an agreement was reached. I removed the ebuilds from portage. I had already created a new ebuild and a new function for eutils which would display the license and force the user to accept before continuing. Apparently, this was not acceptable to id. In fact, nothing was acceptable other than running the installer itself. The problem with this is #1. it is interactive only, #2. it requires gtk (even for a server-only install), #3. we have no control over the installation path, so portage cannot track the files. Having an ebuild that simply wraps the installer is pointless since we would only be wrapping the installer. There is no tracking of the actual game files. This makes the installation no different functionally than a user downloading the game themselves and running the installer. For this reason, I have decided to remove the ebuild entirely. -- Chris Gianelloni Developer, Gentoo Linux Games Team Is your power animal a pengiun? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part --- End Message --- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Cups & Epson Stylus Photo 870
Hi there! I have heavy problems getting cups to operate with my Epson Stylus photo 870 printer. The first problem is, that it alwyas says "Media tray empty!", although there's enough paper in the tray. The status flags are 0x18 (returned by LPGETSTATUS) in the normal case (i.e. printer ready, enough paper), and cups interprets this as "No paper" and "Printer Error". So I commented out the lines checking the status in cups's source for the usb-driver (backend/usb.c). But this cannot be the solution to this problem. And the second one is that it calls ghostscript with some driver it does not support. According to the log, it calls gs with "-sDEVICE=stp", but gs does not have this driver compiled in.

I had similar problems half a year ago. The system worked fine until then, and during a few days instabilities came up. XServer hanging/crashing a few times per day, segfaults during compile, etc. I replaced my RAM and everything went fine again. Try to run memtest86 on your system, with all tests turned on. Even if it doesn't find any error, you cannot be sure. There are a lot of cases, in which RAM-errors cannot be detected by a memtest programm. Try to utilize your computer with some cpu/memory intensive jobs. Just recompile your kernel a few times(you don't need to install it), and use something like make dep; make clean; make -j bzImage; make -j modules replace with some proper value (=number of parallel gcc instances); It should not begin to swap (in that case you would rather test the harddisk than the RAM). It should NEVER fail (neither signal 11 or any other reason). If it does, you can be pretty sure that its the ram.

[gentoo-user] Xine DVD broken?
Hi there!
After upgrading to actual xine-ui and xine-lib, the dvdnav plugin does not
work anymore.
When clicking on "DVD" button, xine hangs and can only be killed by a
"kill -9".
The plugin xine-dvdnav depends on the old version of xine-lib, but that
conflicts with the actual version of xine-ui.
So, how can I watch DVDs???

Why don't you try openbox as WM? It's forked from blackbox like fluxbox, but is IMHO much better than these two. It doesn't have the tabs from fluxbox, but is standards compliant and has some other neat stuff. The focus problem you have doesn't occure with openbox, I just tried. I'd recommend openbox-2.3.1 which is masked ~x86, but works fantastic here. Alex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I would suggest openbox. It looks and performs better than fluxbox or blackbox, IMHO. # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge =x11-wm/openbox-2.3.1 Alex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

English isn't my native language, sorry. I prefer openbox because it is standards compliant, its xft font rendering is better, edge resistance, pixmaps buttons, excellent extra keyhandler called epist ..etc. Maybe fluxbox has some of this stuff as well now, I don't know as I don't use it anymore.

First off, gcc-3.3 is not masked in /etc/make.profile/packages, maybe you want to read the comments in that file to understand how it works? Also how do you *unmask* packages with *package.mask*? > I *CAN* unmask gimp-1.3.17 using > /etc/portage/package.mask and it ISN'T masked in > /etc/make.profile/packages. Of course it's not there, please see above. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
