Re: [gentoo-user] VMWare Workstation
Hi!
VMware does not entirely follow the Gentoo
way. /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware is the start/stop script for VMware
(/opt/vmware/bin/vmware relies on that one). A tip: whenever VMware
think's it has not been configured correctly it creates a
file /etc/vmware/not_configured. vmware-config.pl deletes that file
after a successful configuration. Problem is: sometimes VMware does have
troubles creating two devices: /dev/vmnet0 and /dev/vmnet8. In that case
you'll get a missconfiguration error over and over again - though you
actually didn't change anything. So I created a little script that helps
Vmware:
#!/bin/bash
sudo mknod /dev/vmnet0 c 119 0 /dev/null 21
sudo mknod /dev/vmnet8 c 119 8 /dev/null 21
sudo rm /etc/vmware/not_configured /dev/null 21
sudo /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware start
vmware
sudo /etc/vmware/init.d/vmware stop

Re: [gentoo-user] Do not get an ATi (Was: Newbie Hardware Advice)
Hi! That recommendation is quite harsh IMHO - although I prefer Nvidia over Ati myself. With the latest release of stable drivers both Ati and Nvidia fully support Xorg 6.8 including 3D DRI.

Re: [gentoo-user] boot nightmare. grub grub grub....
Hi! Ol' GRUB can be a nasty little fellow. Ok let's see: You tried to install GRUB to /dev/hda. During the installation GRUB needs access to /boot since it puts its configuration files into /boot/grub. Your fstab lists /dev/hda1 (where /boot resides) as noauto. Did you really mount it before you ran setup? An alternative way to install grub: grub-install /dev/hda --root-directory=boot-directory -- recheck If in your scenario the mount point for /dev/hda1 is /mnt/gentoo than the correct command would be: grub-install /dev/hda --root-directory=/mnt/gentoo -- recheck Regards spox Am Sonntag, den 27.02.2005, 01:13 -0500 schrieb J.

I was just relieved when I finally got rid of that junk crawling through registry settings since not even the uninstaller worked as expected.

It just seems to me that the original post was a stab at gentoo kernel development rather than any hope of starting any constructive discussion... But may be there is a possibility to create ebuild, which will download the patch from http://www.polbox.com/h/hs001/ , and then patch the kernel? I think this ebuild can be GPL'ed, but then user can decide does he want this bad kernel headers and other code be changed or not. Because the patch isn't GPL it means we can't include it in our tree without changing the licensing of our kernel (I don't think this would go down well). It's licensing is ok on its own, but what you suggest in an ebuild isn't practical, and would create lots of issues due to variation between kernel versions. If the author could recode it as a kernel module then that would be a start. Also, this does not address points 2 and 3 in my last post, which still prevent us from including this. Daniel -- Granted. But here's my question: is this issue not occurring solely because the user is trying to connect to said VPN through software? 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. 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)? Or am I missing something (I'm no network guru ;-) )?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: BT848 driver.
Tony, before giving up I'd say let's look into your xorg.conf first. There's a lot we could do regarding the stalling ATI drivers. For sound - that's a total different issue. I assume you already plugged WinTV's audio out into your sound card's line in ;-) Then we should check what sound card you're using, ALSA config and so forth. Let's strangle that beast!

Got xawtv working with sound but can't use wine, the monitor just turns off and the system locks if I try. That, afaik, is an ATI driver problem-- the same thing happens to me with 3.14.6 (the monitor goes on standby, must reboot to get a display back). Hoping this will be resolved with the new drivers (or, unless you want to play Doom 3, you can drop back to 3.14.1; 3.14.6 was mostly just a hotfix to enable ATI users to play that particular game, which otherwise crashed-- otherwise there are no changes from 3.14.1). If I load the fancy config file created with the ATI config program I can run tvtime but if I stop it, the monitor dies and PC locks up. So I unmerged the ATI drivers and although have no TV, my system is stable. You begin to see why people are waiting very very avidly for the 8.08 drivers due today. The ATI drivers are *really bad*. The badness of the drivers is actually the reason I installed SuSE when I broke Gentoo and needed an Alternative install system to reinstall from-- ATI works directly with SuSE to repackage the drivers for their distribution, so other than RedHat (for which the drivers are designed; and I mean RedHat, not Fedora or RHEL, RedHat 9, which I despised), the most reliable temporary distro for me to evaluate the new drivers on is SuSE. So it's not you, Tony we both made a poor buying decision and now are paying the price for it. Hopefully it will all be better soon.

Re: [gentoo-user] Monster emerge -- an odd thing or two
If you have an ATI card the downgrade to Xorg 6.7 would be clear. The ati-drivers package simply depends on Xorg 6.7. It is said ATI will deliver a set of drivers supporting Xorg 6.8 (and DRI) this month. In the meantime you could either go with 6.7 or re-emerge 6.8 but forget DRI for the moment (and yes it is working). 291 config files: how long didn't you update your machine? Kevin O'Gorman schrieb: Having carefully backed up my whole root partition, I just embarked on the huge emerge that had built up in just the few days around the new years. I was worried about Xorg, of course -- it was going to be a major pain if that didn't work. In the event, everything seems fine, but there were some oddities, in my opinion. It also seemed to replace much of KDE and a bunch of other things too. 38 steps. The oddities: For one thing, emerge first emerged xorg 6.8.0-r3, then downgraded it to xorg 6.7.0-r3, all in the same batch. Anyone know why it does this? I'm running on 6.70 right now, with no noticeable difference from the earlier XFree, so I'm not complaining. It just seems weird. Also very time-consuming. For another, when it was done, and quite aside from the automatic trivial config merges, there were 291 config file changes that etc-update wanted me to scrutinize. I don't have the attention span for that, so I looked at the 9 that I most nearly know what they do. The rest I just told it to automerge, and I'm hoping for the best. Is it really necessary to have 300 config files changed in a given update? There just seems to be something unfriendly about that. ++ kevin -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Heinz Sporn SPORN it-freelancing Mobile: ++43 (0)699 / 127 827 07 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Snail: Steyrer Str. 20 A-4540 Bad Hall Austria / Europe -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Palm/Visor + Gnome 2 + Evo 2 + gpilotd Problems...
Ok. I deleted the original Pilot entry from Pilot Settings. Restarted gpilotd-control-applet and added the Tungsten again which went fine. The terminal output was as follows: ** Message: No pilot userid/username information located ** Message: Unable to load pilot id/username, assuming unset ** Message: Cradle Type - USB ** Message: cradle device name - Cradle ** Message: cradle device name - /dev/usb/tts/1 ** Message: Pilot Speed - 115200 ** Message: Timeout - 2 gpilotd-Message: Activating object OAFIID:GNOME_Pilot_Daemon ** Message: No pilot userid/username information located ** Message: Unable to load pilot id/username, assuming unset ** Message: Cradle Type - USB ** Message: cradle device name - Cradle ** Message: cradle device name - /dev/usb/tts/1 ** Message: Pilot Speed - 115200 ** Message: Timeout - 2 Strange thing though: after closing the applet, /usr/libexec/gpilotd kept running and prevented jPilot to synchronize. I remember that in earlier Gnome versions there was a small applet that allowed me to turn that thing on and off allowing other applications to talk to the Palm. Nevertheless synchronizing with Gnome/Evolution didn't change a thing. Except for contacts everything is simply ignored.

It all started just after running Evolution 2 for the first time, when I tried to sync. It appeared to sync fine, went through the motions, but did not actually update the contacts/to-do/calendar in Evo or on the palm with new entries created on the opposite side. So, I backed up the palm and tgz'd the ~/MyPilot and ~/.evolution directories. I then tried a variety of different things to get things syncing. The only thing that seemed to make a difference was going to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/conduits and moving the non-2.0 conduits to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/oldconduits After this, it appeared to use the new 2.0 conduits, and attempt to sync the data into Evo 2. But I ended up with duplicate records. D'oh! Running pilot-dedupe got rid of some duplicates, but I still had at least 2 copies of every entry in the contacts, calendar and to-do databases. At this point, I opted to start over, so I attempted to restore from my backups: `rm ~/.evolution -fr` `rm ~/MyPilot -fr` Hard reset Palm Untar ~/MyPilot backup Untar ~/.evolution backup Use pilot-xfer to restore pilot from ~/MyPilot/* But now, when I try to sync up the palm, I get CORBA errors. Same errors when I try to use gpilotd-control-applet to get/send the ID to the pilot. Figured next I'd try removing ~/.evolution once again and doing a straight Copy-From-Pilot to restore my contacts and calendar, since they're OK on the pilot after the pilot-xfer restore. But still can't get the pilot to sync with gpilotd. Tried unmerging and re-emerging evolution, gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits. No change. Am currently at wit's end... Has anybody got any ideas?

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo or Debian for network product?
My partner and me developed a Gentoo based embedded Firewall/Router system. We decided to use Gentoo simply because of the easy to manage update cycle. In our opinion Portage is just superior over dselect, yast or rpm. Joel Merrick schrieb: Hi guys, I'm in a dilemma whether to develop a commercial network product (basically a glorified firewall with fancy features) with Gentoo or Debian. The problem is this... updates. While I could build a great Gentoo setup in my sleep for this, I'm not sure as to how to run the update procedure. Seeing as the device would not be suited for compilation (I don't want to waste clock cycles compiling updates) then I'd have to go the GRP and binary route. While this is perfectly feasible in Gentoo, the emerge sync and portage overlay is occluding my understanding. I can't get it figured out in my head the way I'd want to do it... The main points are; * Has to be binary based - all boxes will be same architecture (athlon-xp -- sempron basically) * Has to have a seperate update, not linked to the main portage tree, so that I can test packages and mark them stable BEFORE they go into the tree for emerge sync to pick up. * Has to support non-portage based binaries too (Frox being an example, it's got an ebuild, but not in portage, but could build the binary) With Debian I could setup the box easily and use apt-get with my own sources.list pointing to my server for updates. However I wouldn't have the flexibility of USE=-* (I don't think) and packages would generally be a little behind Gentoo (as I understand it) Has anyone evert tried similar or have any thoughts on this?
