Yes, I realize I could have made my whole linux install be EVMS volumes, I even tried to do that but I couldn't get it to work(had major problems with initrd on bootup) and besides I have 100MB for my boot partition and 2.5GB for my root partition, it's very unlikely I will run out of space with those 2 partitions. My swap is 512MB(I have 768MB of Ram) so I'm not to worried about swap either. On the other hand if you have a howto I can follow(I already tried the EVMS Sourceforge site and a couple of postings on the forum) maybe I'll try again. > > > /dev/evms/xxxlv(for the /usr, /var, and /home partitions).

[gentoo-user] EVMS2 Volumes Not Detected on Bootup
I installed a barebones Gentoo with a 2.6 kernel and evms on 10GB of my first hard drive. I then created the standard boot, swap, and root partitions on my main(second) hard drive. After that I created my evms volumes(/home, /usr, and /var partitions) on my main hard drive. I finished intalling Gentoo which included listing my drives in fstab as /dev/evms/hdx(for the root, boot, and swap partitions) and /dev/evms/xxxlv(for the /usr, /var, and /home partitions). I then try to boot up, evms loads ok(right after '* Calculating module dependencies') but later on in the process when it is '* Mounting local filesystems' it complains that it can't find my evms volumes and of course the rest of the bootup is a mess because there are no /usr, /var, and /home partitions mounted. I saw that there was a new experimental 2.6 LiveCD with basic evms support, would I have better luck with that? Thanks, Kent -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Kernel Panic-Init trying to kill itself
Right now I'm using linux-2.6.2-rc2-mm1 and genkernel 1.8. I also read the other posts on the forum, mailing list, and Google but none seemed to help. Well I'm getting this on bootup: Freeing unused kernel memory: 148k freed Initial RAMDISK Loading Starting... Beginning storage detection Beginning usb detection Kernel Panic: Attempted to kill init! At first I thought it was something to do with usb and tried different configs in the kernel to try to fix it but to no aval. Right now I'm stumped...

[gentoo-user] Newbie EVMS problem...
First of all I'm using the latest love-sources kernel(linux-2.6.2_rc2-love4) with the bd-claim patch and EVMS 2.2.1. Well as part of my new installation I figured I would try to do an installation with EVMS trying to follow these posts: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=16639&highlight=lvm http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=93085&highlight=initrd+root+evms and of course the Sourceforge site: http://evms.sourceforge.net This is how far I've got: Error returned from evms_open_engine(): Invalid argument I get it whenever I try to start with evms_activate or /etc/init.d/evms start. One note is that I haven't made any changes to my fstab file yet, I thought it would happen once I got into the evms gui and commited a change. Thanks, Kent -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Firewire and USB Device Detection
Well I'm going to take another stab at this and see if I can find a solution to my problem. I'm running the 2.6.0 test9 mm-sources kernel. I have 2 external storage devices, a Maxtor 80GB Firewire Drive and a 32MB USB Pen Drive. I want to assign these to a specific scsi hosts sdc and sdd(sda and sdb belong to my DVD Drive and CDRW Drive thru scsi emulation). I've tried using this in my grub.conf: scsihosts=ide-scsi,ide-scsi,usb-storage,sbp2 Usb-storage is my pen drive and sbp2 is my Firewire drive. I've varied the order of the hosts with no luck. Is there another way I can assign hosts? I've tried compiling firewire and usb storage into my kernel and as modules, no change. When I used the 2.4 kernel and it modprobed the firewire modules at boot up it assigned the firewire drive a scsi host even when I didn't have it connected to the computer making it predictable for Me to assign specific scsi hosts, the 2.6 kernel doesn't do this. Is there a way I can assign scsi hosts other than the scsihosts=host1,host2,... command or am I going to have to do manually? The fact that Windows can do this so easy really irks Me.

Re: [gentoo-user] quick restore
Andrew Gaffney wrote: I want to be able to quickly restore my system to a known working configuration from a burned CD or set of CDs. I currently backup my /home, /root, /etc, and MySQL dbs everynight to a tape drive. I also have a second HD that I perform a complete backup to everynight using rsync. What I want to be able to do is rebuild the system in a matter of minutes similar to the way a stage 3 install works. In case the box catches on fire or something equally unlikely, I want to be able to get my system back up and running quickly. What I was thinking about doing was using the quickpkg utility to create binary packages of everything installed on my system. I would then burn all the binary packages to a CD. In order to restore, I would boot from a LiveCD, create my partitions, extract a stage 1 or 2 tarball (if even needed), and then use emerge to re-install all the binary packages from my CD. I would then restore my data and configs from the tape backup. Would this work? Are there any major pitfalls anyone can see? Has anyone successfully done this kind of thing before? emerge mondo-rescue I've used this on some RedHat systems and it works flawlessly. It's a Disaster Recovery package that you can burn to CD, make an ISO file, or backup to Tape plus it's highly automated. http://www.mondorescue.org/ Thanks, Kent -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo or Knoppix for ancient laptop?
Carl Hudkins wrote: Hi, folks! Ok, here's the machine: 133 MHz (yes, *mega*, not giga or tera) Pentium! 48 MB RAM, 1.8 GB hard drive. (This is a Compaq LTE 5300.) It currently has a rudimentary OpenBSD installation -- it boots up, but X doesn't work and I don't really understand how the system is put together. (It's my machine for experimenting... and it has run Mandrake (many years ago when it would actually install on a 48MB machine), SuSE, Debian, and about a year ago I put OpenBSD on there, then forgot about it.) It has a floppy drive and CD drive that *SHARE* a bay, and a NetGear Ethernet card in the PCMCIA slot. I got OpenBSD onto it via a network install floppy set. Previously, Mandrake, SuSE, and Debian were installed by either putting it into "sleep" mode and swapping the drives out, or passing "hdb=noprobe hdb=cdrom" to the kernel when booting. Since I am fairly used to the way Gentoo works now, I am thinking that I could install it on this laptop, either using distcc to let my dual-P3 box do most of the building, or by using only binary packages. On the other hand, Knoppix has its appeal as well, since (if I could only get it to boot!) that would mean I could use the entire HD for just swap space and personal files. Yes, running it from a 4x CD would be slow and painful, but I wouldn't be trying to load KDE3 or anything... just Windowmaker or icewm or something lighter. I seem to have read that it is possible to install Gentoo from binaries only, so can it be done without installing GCC? I know, why not just go with Debian or something (after all, that's what Knoppix is based on)... and the answer is that I already know how Gentoo is set up, and I'd much rather have the same system on both machines, as that makes administration and housekeeping easier. BTW, I've just now found that I can (without changing a damn thing from whatever was already in place on OpenBSD) get into my files on the laptop using Konqueror and "fish://192.168.0.4/" -- so copying files to and from the laptop will be easy, though I'm not sure if any boot disks I might make on this machine will be able to handle ffs (OpenBSD's file system). I *have* made a GRUB floppy, but when I boot with it and then swap out the floppy drive for the CD drive, and try to boot a CD with (hd1,0), it does not work. (The Knoppix floppy also does not work -- it says it cannot find any CD drives and drops me to a horrible shell.) All I really need is, say, 25--50 MB, or even less, for personal files... and a laptop that can instantly become at home in any network (read DHCP) or *without* any network, just for personal use on the road. My question to those who, perhaps, have tried something similar, is: Should I continue to struggle with Knoppix, or is there a good way to get Gentoo on this thing? My thanks in advance for any suggestions! :) As much as I would like to run Gentoo on a machine like that it would be a big hassle to install not to mention keeping it updated even taking into account some of the things you menetioned and tried in your posting. I did install Gentoo onto a Cyrix166 computer w/64MB of Ram earlier this year and it took forever to install(about 3 days), I didn't even want to try a GUI install even if it was just something like Blackbox. Since Knoppix runs in Ram and your laptop only has 48MB of it I'm not surprised you're having problems booting it up. Even with using swap space in addition to the memory I have a feeling that it would be a big headache. I would recommend this: http://www.ibiblio.org/vectorlinux/index.php?menu=1 It's a distribution made for systems like yours, mind you I haven't tried it myself but it looks good.

Therefore, either one could be assigned "eth0". The net.eth0 script reads the conf.d/net for interface configuration information. Since it always sees eth0, I can't distinguish between the entries in conf.d/net. How do I make it so that eth0 can be either the ethernet or the wireless network?

I'm running Gentoo 1.4rc4 and KDE 3.1.2. In Control Panel->Desktop->Behavior theres an option for Dispaying devices on desktop which I have checked off. I'm using SCSI emulation. I have a DVD drive and a CDRW Drive, I have both CD Writer and CD-ROM mounted/unmounted checked off but the only thing that appears on my desktop is the CD-ROM entry(which is actually the CDRW drive). I've edited /etc/fstab, /etc/devfsd, and different ways of mounting the drives but I still can't get the CD Writer Icon to appear on the desktop, what is KDE looking at when it puts those icons on the Desktop?

[gentoo-user] Using Printer on Windows XP Machine
I'm trying to use my Dad's printer on His Windows XP Computer and I've successfully connected it before but it's just not working this time. Everytime I send a print job the printer just sits there, no errors or anything. I installed the printer OK using the KDE Print Manager, it found the computer and printer on the network automatically. I have Samba, Cups, Foomatic, and Hpijs(the printer is an HP inkjet) installed. Cups and Samba are also up and running. I have the correct PPD file installed. I have the correct username/password for the WinXP computer. I went over the User Doc for Printing. Is there something in Windows XP I'm missing? Thanks, Kent -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Can Evolution do this?
I want to try Evolution but there's one thing holding me up. I am currently using Sylpheed-Claws and one of the nice features it has is to check the age of the emails on the mail server and then delete them after X amount of days. In Evolution I see the option to leave messages on server but don't see an option for a user defined critera to delete them off of the server. I tried setting up a filter for this but the way the filter I setup reads(If date sent is X days ago then delete) it looks like it's deleting it off my local computer and not the mail server. I guess I could use a shell command to do that but I know next to nothing about that. Has anybody got something like this working in Evolution? Thanks, Kent -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Emerge Blackdown-jdk(you can do Sun's version to but it takes about 3 hours to compile), make sure it's installing version 1.4.1. 4. Type 'java-config --list-available-vms' (look for Blackdown 1.4.1) 5. Type 'java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jdk-1.4.1' 6. Reinstall Openmotif or Lesstif if you had them installed. 7.

Well, I made my decision. I going with the 4191 drivers BUT not on Xfree 4.2.1 but instead on 4.2.99. I just got done installing the 4191 drivers on top of Xfree 4.2.99 last night and ran: glxgears With the 4191 drivers on top of Xfree 4.2.1 I got ~140-145 FPS, with 4191 on top of Xfree 4.2.99 I got ~185 FPS. I know glxgears is not a truely scientific way of measuring things but it did show me that it is faster proving that the posts from other users using this combo were right. I'm 90% satisfied(don't have Gnome 2.2 installed yet) that this will fix the sluggish 2D performance enough. BTW, I'm not a gamer but that slow 2D really bugged Me.

The problem involves the last 5 lines of my /etc/fstab. You'll see that 4 of the lines have sdb1 mounting to fw1(4 partitions in the firewire drive-fw1, fw2,..etc), sdb2 mounting to fw2,...etc. The last line is the USB drive sda1 mounting to /mnt/usb. If I mount the firewire drive first then it goes to sda NOT sdb, I wondered how to fix this and a 30 minute search thru the forums I saw that you could create dev entries for devices in /etc/devfsd.conf.

Re: [gentoo-user] Display Power Management Question
Manually modifying my XF86Config file worked. I guess if I wanted to use the KDE 3.1 front end for this I would have a video card that has it's drivers already built into XFree86 and not separate(like my Nvidia card), am I correct?

[gentoo-user] Display Power Management Question
I have KDE 3.1 installed along with a Nvidia GeForce2 MX card. I also compilied Advanced Power Management BIOS support into my Kernel. I just want my Monitor to go into Suspend after X number of minutes. I set it via the KDE Control Panel but nothing happens. Is it the Nvidia card? Something else I missed in the Kernel?

Re: [gentoo-user] mother board recommendations
I have one of the new KT400 chipset motherboards from VIA and absolutely have had no problems with it. I'm using ALSA with it to and it found the sound chipset right away.

Yes, you can. I'm running Pan(Gnome app) under KDE 3.1, I also ran Krusader(KDE app) under Blackbox.

[gentoo-user] 2 Problems with KMail in KDE 3.1
Problem #1:
I just did a fresh install of KDE 3.1 to my newly reconfigured midtower(switched to
Raid 0). Before I switched I had a problem when I read certain posts on the Gentoo
User list that had PGP signatures in them, A little dialog box would pop-up and say I
don't have PGP installed so I left it and reinstalled my computer. Now my newly
installed KDE 3.1 is still doing it, I followed in detail the bugzilla
report(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13573) to fix this. I even inserted this
suggested script into my /etc/x11/Sessions/kde-3.1 KDE startup script:
if [ -x /usr/bin/gpg-agent ]; then
if [ -f ${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info ]; then
OLD_GPG_AGENT=`cat ${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info`
CHECK_PID=`echo ${OLD_GPG_AGENT}|cut -d ":" -f 2`
PROG=`ps -p ${CHECK_PID} |tail -1| sed -e "s,^[^ ]* *[^ ]* *[^ ]* *,,"`
if [ "${PROG}x" != "gpg-agentx" ]; then
rm ${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info
else
export GPG_AGENT_INFO=${OLD_GPG_AGENT}
fi
fi
if [ ! -f ${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info ]; then
eval "`gpg-agent --daemon`"
echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO >${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info
fi
fi
I still get the OpenPGP not found errors. I even generated myself a pair of keys and
configured them into KMail hoping that would help, no luck. As a last resort I told
KMail not to use any encryption tools but I still get the error. I didn't have to do
squat to Sylpheed-Claws, it just opens up these emails with no problems.
Problem #2:
One of the things I've grown accustomed to is leaving my email on the server and then
having my email client delete email on the server after X amount of days. I saw that
KMail had a POP Filter that would do this for me so I configured it to delete any
Emails off the Email server if they were more than 1 day old(my server currently had
Emails on it about 3 days old), activated it, did a send/receive, and it received but
did not delete the 2+ day old Email's. I then clicked on "Apply Filters", nothing
happened. I went back to my Sylpheed-Claws client and ran the same test, it had no
problems doing it.
Thanks,
Kent
