[gentoo-user] New Printer

2005-05-10 Thread Luigi Pinna
Hello!
I want to buy a new printer and I'm sure...
I found a cheap Epson printer (Stylus C66) but I cannot find info in the 
www.linuxprinting.org. Works it good? The the others model 
(C46,C60,C61,C62,C70,C80) works perfectly and the same models 
(C63,C64,C83,C84) work mostly.
Someone uses that models or knows if the driver are compatible with this 
model?
Thanks a lot,
Luigi

I think it is enough to add gcc to /etc/portage/package.keywords and 
emerge it. It will co-exist with your current version of gcc and you 
will be able to switch between them with gcc-config. At the end of the 
emerge it might or might not automatically switch to the new version, I 
do not know. I have one machine which has been fully compiled with gcc 
3.4 series and I haven't had any problems (although I do not use it all 
that much). It's been out for quite a while since 3.4 series has been 
out and my guess would be it is stable for most things.

I think if you're doing this locally, you can just copy .Xauthority in the

root's home directory is).
 
 Thanks Dimitri and to everyone who replied to this thread.
 

Maybe a slightly better approach:
I put this in root's .bashrc:
xauth merge ~yoyo/.Xauthority

when the information in .Xauthority changes, this get's it again, and
doesn't destroy any previous (if i connect as root to some other X server)

1) Couple of different ways come to mind.  If you don't want it at all just 
say no and don't compile it as a module or into your kernel. 

2) edit /etc/conf.d/local.start and add the following :

Use emerge -Duvp --tree world to see what will be upgraded and which 
packages are affected. If there are major library updates, it is a good 
idea to run revdep-rebuild afterwards.

 Excuse me jumping in here, but after reading the above line I think you

Ralph,
   Interesting read. I'll check that out later. Sometimes developers
have ways of sneaking things in. Happens on all distros I think.

   OK, so as per your idea I'm now sitting at the server (dragonfly)
itself. I'm trying to mount the NFS export in my home directory. I've
changed fstab on the server to add this line:

dragonfly:/MusicLib /home/mark/NFStest   nfs   
noauto,user,ro,_netdev  0 0

As user or root I attempt the mount. It doesn't work but I am getting
a different message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mount NFStest/
mount: dragonfly:/MusicLib failed, reason given by server: No such
file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $

This is a different message. At least the server is not down!

The directory is exported:

dragonfly mark # exportfs
/MusicLib   Dragonfly
dragonfly mark #

I currently have this (slightly changed from earlier posts) in /etc/exports:

dragonfly mark # cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).

/MusicLib   192.168.1.55(ro,sync,no_root_squash)

Brett recommended (Thanks Brett!) I take a look at the LinuxDoc.org
NFS-HOWTO. I found it here:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/server.html

It raises two issues I hadn't considered:

1) Whether inetd is running. (it is not on my Gentoo server. It
probably was on the FC2 server)

2) The contents o the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files.

Where are these files? They do not seem to be present on my machine?
Should they not be created by some part of the baseline system
install?

Obviously they haven't stopped the machine from doing most of what it
needs to do but possibly they are effecting this?

Is inetd required on the server? Maybe I need to emerge this?

 The files hosts.allow and hosts.deny are the configuration files for TCP
 wrappers/tcpd access control.  Anything that runs under tcpd (or is

[gentoo-user] gentoo guide for postfix

2005-05-10 Thread Claudinei Matos
Hi guys,

I'm a newbie to this email server things and some days ago I've
installed a postfix server just to send outgoing mail (relay) but now
I have to turn this server us incoming mail server to catch all
messages for us domain.
Well, I know I have to install courier-imap 'cause I want to use imap,
and will also need to be able to add other domains to this mail server
as I want.
Well, I'd took a look at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml but it's a little bit
confusing since I had not ever did anything like that and that guide
spoke about things I not sure I need, like SSL.
So, what I want is to know what I really need to make my server catch
all messages incoming to the domains I'll specify at postfix
configuration, and also, how to specify that?

Tks in advice,

Most prism2/GT boards work great with in-kernel drivers, but they can
be hard to find.  Atheros based cards are plentiful and are supported
through the madwifi drivers.  Some others can be made to work with the
windows driver via the NDIS wrapper, but I have never tried this. 
Unfortunately, manufacturers change chipsets frequently, sometimes
without even updating the version number of the product, so good luck!

I find that sometimes MAKEOPTS=-j2 is the culprit.  Make sometimes tries
to link an executable before all of its constituent object files are
compiled (this shouldn't normally happen, but maybe the structure of the
Makefile isn't exactly what make expects or something).

After modifying the MAKEOPTS line in /etc/make.conf to explicityly allow
only one thread: MAKEOPTS=-j1 (and patching
kernel-mod.eclass so that it respects KBUILD_OUTPUT

It is considered good practice to do a dry run with emere -pv before
installing any package to see what USE flags are in use and what
dependencies there are. If you dont, then you might get suprises like
this. The Gentoo documentation even mentions this several times. Therefore
the error seems to lie between your keyboard and your chair.


  

This bit me too, when I upgraded my X server a while ago.
And does it really show up when there is a new USE flag that is
set to false by default? It sure went past me, anyway, even with emerge -pv.

New USE flags that remove previous functionality when not enabled should
be set to true by default, IMHO.

Re: [gentoo-user] Are there ANY working wireless cards?

2005-05-10 Thread David D. Rea
On Tue, 2005-05-10 at 08:16 -0700, Richard Fish wrote:

 Most prism2/GT boards work great with in-kernel drivers, but they can
 be hard to find.

I have a source for the MiniPCI version of these cards in the
Philippines; we use the Prism GT Javelin chipset boards as an OEM
module in our product. The company makes both Javelin and Frisbee based
boards, as well as boards based on the Connexant/Intersil WorldRadio
chipset.

 Some others can be made to work with the
 windows driver via the NDIS wrapper, but I have never tried this.

I have successfully run a Broadcom BCM94306MP chipset using the NDIS
wrapper driver. It was a PITA, used closed-source drivers and performed
poorly. Avoid Broadcom's cards!

I ended up yanking this board out of my laptop and replacing it with an
Atheros CM9 reference design board. That is soon to be replaced with a
Connexant/Intersil ISL3886 (Javelin) based card.

 Unfortunately, manufacturers change chipsets frequently, sometimes
 without even updating the version number of the product, so good luck!

According to the local FAE for Connexant/Intersil products, the ISL3880
and ISL3886 (PRISM GT Frisbee and Javelin, respectively) are in full
production and have not yet reached maturity, so they won't be
end-of-lifed any time soon. The ISL3890 (Duette) chipset is in it's
maturity phase, and is thus not recommended for new designs. The
WorldRadio (PRISM GT Crossbow) chipset is also not slated for
discontinuation any time soon.

An important thing to note about the Intersil chipsets is the amount of
available RAM on the MAC. The newer Javelin chipset only has 512Kb of
SRAM on the MAC chip, so it require what Intersil calls a split MAC
driver, where some of the higher-level MAC functions reside in system
SRAM. The older Frisbee version of the PRISM GT chipset has 2Mb of
on-MAC SRAM.

Our product uses [vomit] Windows CE, so I'm not sure about split-MAC
drivers for Linux. I'm sure there's some mention of it at prism54.org,
but I won't be able to check it out until lunch...

 Check out:

 http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php
 http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz

Amusingly enough, when Xterasys end-of-lifed the XG600 (which is a
Frisbee-based MiniPCI WLAN card) that we were using in our product, that
2nd link is the one we used to locate another one!

We settled on a model from Easix. They don't have any US distributors,
hence my contact above.

One thing to note, if you're looking to change the MiniPCI card in your
laptop, be careful about what form factor it supports. Most laptops
support some flavor of Type III ... Caution is due because Type IIIa
cards are longer in the Y dimension than Type IIIb cards. Check the type
before you sink any $$ into a card!

Dave

PS - UPDATE - Looked on Prism54.org and it looks like the Linux drivers do
NOT support the so-called Split-MAC or Soft MAC cards. So stick with
the Frisbee-based versions! The web site gives a somewhat accurate, albeit
limited, assessment of the issue. The CARD manufacturers are designing the
Frisbee chipset out of their products because it's about $1.50 more
expensive in volume. So when they make 150,000 cards, that adds up to a
chunk of change. Connexant/Intersil just makes the chipset, and they
report they will continue to support and manufacture the frisbee chipset.

Get yer Frisbees while they're hot!

[gentoo-user] Kile dependencies after upgrading to kde 3.4

2005-05-10 Thread Juan Ignacio Sánchez Lara
Hi everybody

Finally I couldn't for kde 3.4 to be in the stable branch and I
upgraded. No serious problem until I tried to emerge --update --deep
--newuse world --verbose (the way I always upgrade my system). When I
tried to emerge that way, it replied that kile-1.7.1 had some
dependencies, and since I thought it would be because it's a
before-kde-3.4 version I upgraded to the -unstable- 1.8_beta2. The
problem is that when I tried again to emerge world it replied the
following:


Calculating world dependencies \
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ~kde-base/kdebase-3.4.0 have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- kde-base/kdebase-3.4.0 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 Software Availability in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!!(dependency required by kde-base/kdegraphics-3.4.0 [ebuild])


!!! Problem with ebuild app-editors/kile-1.8_beta2
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.


AFAIK kdebase and kdegraphics correspond to the old way to emerge kde,
isn't it? What's the problem, then? Are kile dependencies wrong?
Should I emerge/configure something I missed?

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks in advance.

Option MonitorLayout  NONE, AUTO

flickering (as it had a wrong frequency, it's hard for me to explain
that).

What else must I configure in order to make it work? I have installed

 Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Re: nfs export/remote mount problem
 
 Hi,
I'm going to recap and hopefully focus this discussion based on
 current results. Thanks to Richard, Walter, Ralph and Brett for your
 help so far.
 
 I'm working from these two documents:
 
 http://gentoo-wiki.com/index.php?title=HOWTO_Share_Directories_via_NFS
 http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO/server.html
 
 There are 4 machines on our home network that are involved in this problem:
 
 Dragonfly - Gentoo music server
 Flash - Gentoo workstation
 Godzilla - FC2 workstation
 Christmas - FC2 workstation
 
 Dragonfly used to be FC2. The /MusicLib directory could be mounted on
 all the other machines. Since converting Dragonfly to Gentoo we have
 not been able to mount it.
 
 As of this morning the setup on Dragonfly looks like this:
 
 # /etc/exports: NFS file systems being exported.  See exports(5).
 #/MusicLib   *(ro)
  
 /MusicLib   192.168.1.55(ro,sync,no_root_squash)
 192.168.1.29(ro,sync,no_root_squash)
 192.168.1.51(ro,sync,no_root_squash)
 
 The line commented out above was all that was required to allow
 MusicLib to be mounted when Dragonfly was running FC2. That hasn't
 worked under Gentoo, nor has the currently more complicated line shown
 above.
 
 Currently Dragonfly says it's exporting:
 
 dragonfly ~ # exportfs
 /MusicLib   Dragonfly
 /MusicLib   Flash
 /MusicLib   Godzilla
 dragonfly ~ #
 
 Results when trying to mount from Flash (Gentoo):
 
 fstab has:
 
 dragonfly:/MusicLib /home/mark/MusicLib  nfs noauto,user,ro,_netdev 0  0
 
 flash ~ $ mount MusicLib/
 mount: dragonfly:/MusicLib failed, reason given by server: No such
 file or directory
 flash ~ $
 
 Results when trying to mount from Godzilla (FC2):
 
 fstab has:
 
 dragonfly:/MusicLib /mnt/MusicLib   nfs
 noauto,user,ro,_netdev,proto=udp0 0
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ mount /mnt/MusicLib/
 mount to NFS server 'dragonfly' failed: server is down.
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$
 
 Results when trying to mount /MusicLib on Dragonfly itself is
 identical to Flash. Both are Gentoo:
 
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mount NFStest/
 mount: dragonfly:/MusicLib failed, reason given by server: No such
 file or directory
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
 
 So the Gentoo machines are consistent. As an NFS client they both say
 MusicLib is not exported, but according to exportfs on Dragonfly it
 is.
 
 The FC2 machines says that the server is down. I've tried with both
 the proto=udp in and out.
 
 I hope this focuses the problem a bit better.
 
 Thanks in advance,
 Mark

Yes, this is a potential problem although I thought I'd made them the
same on this machine under Gentoo as when it ran FC2. I'll double
check.

 
 2.  Server down implies it can't find the server so it gives up and then 
 gives you the error about not mounting the file or no such file.

It's not a consistent message though. It's 'server down' when coming
from the FC boxes but 'no such file or directory' when coming from my
other Gentoo boxes. I found a couple of posts on the web saying that
different distros give different messages for the same problem so this
may be one problem with different messages. Anyway, my Gentoo boxes
cannot mount so clearly I'm missing something.

 
 3.  What about the comment someone had from the FC list about FC2 or 3 
 breaking something.

I tried that on the FC2 machine but it didn't help. I've also rebuilt
the kernel a couple of times to make sure the NFS options on the
Gentoo NFS Wiki were exactly right. I tried the kernel with NFS over
TCP checked and unchecked. Always the same results.

I'm stumped, but I also believe this is a problem that the community
here can get me through so I'll jsut keep plugging away.

Thanks for the response!

If you have 22mbps hardware, you want the DWL-520+ (Same chipset, PCI version).
Its 'natively supported' (emerge acx100), but you do need an initial Internet
connection to download the driver. You could download it somewhere else and put
it on a CD/Floppy, of course.

But don't pull out that wallet yet!

genstef, the Gentoo dev that maintains the acx100 package (which also provides a
kernel module for your wireless device, acx_usb) wants you to contact him.

Send him an e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED].

I'm not quite sure why you're having those problems.  Maybe you don't
have dvb or v4l2 support compiled either into your kernel or as modules?

By the way, just as a sidenote, the order I modprobed the drivers was:

cx8800
cx88-dvb

cx8800 is the module that actually registers /dev/video0 (for analog
NTSC) and /dev/video1 (for digital ATSC HDTV.)

Hope this helps.  My guess is simply that you don't have all the support
stuff that you need (v4l2 and dvb specifically.)



Any idea where I can get those?
  


If you're using 2.6, you'll find it in the kernel's source tree.  Just
enable v4l2 and dvb, recompile and you'll be good to go.  Let me know if
it helps.

[gentoo-user] Mplayer and Framebuffer

2005-05-10 Thread James Colannino
Hey guys.  I just re-compiled a new system from scratch for the first
time using 2.6 instead of 2.4 and I've been very pleased so far.  I have
one problem though: when I was using 2.4 I was able to use mplayer to
play video directly to the console via framebuffer (/dev/fb0) instead of
svgalib, but when I do so with 2.6, while /dev/fb0 exists and while I
have it working with bootsplash just fine, when I run mplayer on
/dev/fb0, I crash the display and have to ssh into the machine from
another computer.  Even after killing the mplayer process, video remains
non-functional.  I tried shutting down the computer (init 0) from an
ssh'd terminal, but coming back into the room a few minutes later
revealed that the machine would not shut down and so I had to push the
button manually (which means yucky filesystem scans...) Anybody have any
ideas as to how I can get this to work?  I suppose it's not a big deal,
but I'd still like to get this working if I can.  I'm also planning on
giving XDirectFB a try one of these days, so hopefully I won't have the
same problems... :(  Thanks in advance.

 I'm not quite sure why you're having those problems.  Maybe you don't
 have dvb or v4l2 support compiled either into your kernel or as modules?
 
 By the way, just as a sidenote, the order I modprobed the drivers was:
 
 cx8800
 cx88-dvb
 
 cx8800 is the module that actually registers /dev/video0 (for analog
 NTSC) and /dev/video1 (for digital ATSC HDTV.)
 
 Hope this helps.  My guess is simply that you don't have all the support
 stuff that you need (v4l2 and dvb specifically.)
 
 
 
 Any idea where I can get those?
 
 
 
 If you're using 2.6, you'll find it in the kernel's source tree.  Just
 enable v4l2 and dvb, recompile and you'll be good to go.  Let me know if
 it helps.

So I was looking at the source tree last night for my kernel 2.6.9-r14
and I do see these options.  I was under the impression these were
only available for 2.6.12, but maybe what was meant was that for
2.6.12 you don't even need to choose to compile them in.  That said,
when looking at the tree for DVB, it seemed to want me to pick some
kind of front end - not sure what it wants there.  Finally, it
appears my version of ivtv (I've got a pvr 350 as well), 2.3 I think,
may be conflicting with the pchdtv.  Does that jive with your
experience?

Ok, the badly wrapped text would happen if your client did a bad job
of wrapping right?  Because my messages wouldn't wrap at all.

The other thing to consider is if I compose with a wrap at 70 and
someone's client wraps at 60.  Then they would get that crappy
short-line stuff if you know what I mean.  I hate that.

 And esearch can be used to do an emerge sync by typing - esync

eix is orders of magnitude faster than esearch, particularly the

Shaw i sometimes think that rlogin rsh rcp might be better to use on my
well firewalled LAN because basically there is no one there to sniff my
passwords or data, and why burden my machines with encryptng and
unencrypting the traffic.

Then i see the sense of not getting into bad habits, of making my
scripts safe to use across the internet in case I ever want to use them
beyond the lan, and maintaining only openssh instead of openssh and rsh,
and I abandon the thought as an idle fancying.

If you are a newbie and read somewhere that rsh and friends is a good
way of doing stuff across a lan, then read something more up to date and
forget it. If you know what you are doing and know the security
implications of your actions (and can stand the criticisms of others )
then go for it.

Hi guys,

Well, I know I have to install courier-imap 'cause I want to use imap,

as I want.
Well, I'd took a look at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml but it's a little bit
confusing since I had not ever did anything like that and that guide
spoke about things I not sure I need, like SSL.
So, what I want is to know what I really need to make my server catch
all messages incoming to the domains I'll specify at postfix
configuration, and also, how to specify that?

  

Well, the first thing to figure out is if you want to use mbox or
maildir style mailboxes. Then set up your postfix main.cf config just
like they show you in the virtual mail howto on Gentoo.org. Then, if you
need pop or imap, emerge something like uw-imap, courier-imap, or
dovecot to handle that. The configuration is quite easy. Search the
forums, as I know there are some good hints on there as well.

  Brett,
 Thanks. Now both machines are mounting. Actually the FC2 machines
  mount immediately. The Gentoo laptop takes about 90 seconds before it
  mounts. I don't see any messages about what's taking so long, but at
  least it mounts.
 You know I've been down this road... It was with my BSD server, COL and
 everytihgng mounted fine but Gentoo was a problem...
 
 I'll search through my archives tonight and see if I can find my notes...

Thanks Mike. What I've found to far:

Godzilla (FC2) mounts Dragonfly immediately
Christmas (FC2) mounts Dragonfly immediately
Flash (Gentoo) always takes 90 seconds to mount Dragonfly
Dragonfly (Gentoo) mounts Dragonfly immediately.

So it seems like it's the Gentoo client over the network and not the
Gentoo server that causes the slowdown?

Anyway I'm very happy to at least have it working.

Cheers,
Mark

[gentoo-user] xscreensaver-demo locks up laptop

2005-05-10 Thread Iain Buchanan
Hello once again,

this is a wierd one - xscreensaver-demo locks up my laptop (for certain
screensavers only) but the actual screensaver works fine.

eg, I see a working screensaver which is, say, BioF, so I unlock the
screen, log in and then go to xscreensaver-demo, and the whole laptop
locks up (because BioF is automatically selected).  Can't even ping it.

But for others, say anemone, it all works fine.

I don't quite know what to do next, given that I can't do anything until
I reboot, which is too late to see whats going on...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I have some Allnet ALL0271 prism54 PCI cards available if you're in the  
UK or Europe. They're very good, have open-source drivers, and do WEP   
master-mode, so are ideal for access-points / base-stations  routers.  
I believe WPA support is Real Soon Now.

 So I was looking at the source tree last night for my kernel 2.6.9-r14
 and I do see these options.  I was under the impression these were
 only available for 2.6.12, but maybe what was meant was that for
 2.6.12 you don't even need to choose to compile them in.  That said,
 when looking at the tree for DVB, it seemed to want me to pick some
 kind of front end - not sure what it wants there.  Finally, it
 appears my version of ivtv (I've got a pvr 350 as well), 2.3 I think,
 may be conflicting with the pchdtv.  Does that jive with your
 experience?
 
 
 
 I don't think I compiled any of the in-kernel tuner drivers (like
 ivtv.)  What I did do was compile all of the video stuff as modules.
 That way, modprobbing the drivers for your HD-3000 should automatically
 pull in only those modules you need (such as the v4l2 and dvb stuff.)
 Hope that helps :)  I actually can't remember quite what I did, but if
 you need further help I can go through my kernel tree again and tell you
 what I have enabled and what I don't.

Ok, making progress.  I unmerged ivtv and installed 0.3.4j instead
from www.ivtv.tv.  Now I get the following:

 Just got around to trying to boot Gentoo 2005.0 on my desktop.  My hard
 drive controller is now natively supported (Highpoint HPT372N), so the
 LiveCD booted without a problem.  But now my wireless adapter (D-Link
 DWL-120+) isn't supported, since I don't have any network devices other
 than eth0 (wired) and lo.  Seeing as how this is my Internet connection,
 I'm stuck yet again.  (I'm not a big fan of stage3 installs.)
 
 Since I (strangely enough) have money in my wallet, are there any

If you have 22mbps hardware, you want the DWL-520+ (Same chipset, PCI version).
Its 'natively supported' (emerge acx100), but you do need an initial Internet
connection to download the driver. You could download it somewhere else and put
it on a CD/Floppy, of course.
But don't pull out that wallet yet!
genstef, the Gentoo dev that maintains the acx100 package (which also provides a
kernel module for your wireless device, acx_usb) wants you to contact him.
Send him an e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED].
I'm emailing this message to the list as well as to you, genstef, just in 
case someone on-list (or reading
the archives at a later date) can benefit from this.  Correct me if this is a 
no-no.
All right, you wanted me to email you.  That's been done.  Now, to setup my 
hardware, I think I'll do this.
I've got one working Gentoo install right now, and then I've got my main 
computer.  This is what I'll do:
1. emerge --fetchonly acx_usb acx100 on my working Gentoo system to download 
the sources.
2. emerge --pretend acx_usb acx100 to get a file listing of the ACX packages.
3. Copy the ACX packages to my USB key, and then move them to my distfiles 
directory on my wireless machine.
4. emerge acx_usb acx100 on the wireless machine.
5. Continue with Gentoo installation.
If I copy over all the distfiles from the working machine as well as the 
stage1-x86 and Portage tarballs
(which I can download in Windows), then I can theoretically do a stage1 install 
without my wireless connection,
which will make me happy.  Does that sound feasible?  (And at what point during 
the installation does the
emerge command become usable?)

 Do you have Hotplug Firmware Loading support (CONFIG_FW_LOADER) in your
