I was recently able to deploy a Gentoo server with mediawiki. The installation was simple, and the configuration took about a day. It was then upgraded from 1.3.11 to 1.3.12. That was smooth and didn't cause a problem. It recently got upgraded to 1.4.xx and I haven't done the research behind it to see what needs to change from the database side - so it's been left at 1.3.12. No one has requested an upgrade (yet). Customising of the interface wasn't too difficult. Most areas were laid out logically, and the feedback from the users we have so far is they're happy with it - both in features and in ease of use. We've also made it that only people who have a login in can change content as well as protecting some pages that only the sysops of the wiki can update them.

Re: [gentoo-user] How can I make udev play nicely with my palm pilot

The problem is that most software (pilot-link, gnome-pilot, ...) seems to expect the nodes to be present all the time - and udev keeps deleting them! Even if I manually create the nodes udev will politely delete them after a sync - causing gnome-pilot to never sync again (until killed/restarted) Manually creating the nodes and commenting out the rule in 50-udev.rules didnt work either (the nodes stayed, just didnt work - no sync).

You should also check that you have md support in your kernel (or if its a
module, use "modprobe md" and "modprobe raidX" (where X is your RAID level
- if you dont know what RAID level means I suggest you read the RAID HOWTO
at tldp.org).
I use mdadm and I have not compiled md and raid0 as modules, but
directly into the kernel. The problem is that while booting md doesn't
find the raid properly.

Re: [gentoo-user] Browsing Network
You can use smb:/// to view all the network on konqueror and nautilus. You can also use the nmblookup command, but it usually returns IP addresses instead of names. Finally you can use smbtree to display recursively workgroups, servers and shares, but it should take much time if your network is big. For all these methods you must have a working smb.conf for your network. 2005/5/23, Matthew Cline <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Does anyone have any suggestions or such on how to go about browsing a > > > network?

[gentoo-user] Error when running ethereal through ssh tunneled X11
When I ssh into one of my servers, using X11 tunneling, then su - to root, then try to run ethereal the following happens: # ethereal The program 'ethereal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 128 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Well, then the question is, why is CMFPhoto looking in /root? It's no
surprise it doesn't have the permissions.
Ok, let's look at the source and try to puzzle it out:
> File "/var/lib/zope/zope-2.7.6/Products/CMFPhoto/Photo.py", line 20, in ?

CMFPhoto is initializing and wants to know if there is a conversion
program available, so it looks along the system path. The error is
evoked with the code:
> 23 def findConvert():
> 24 """try to find the convert utility in the search path

The problem is in line 35. Evidently "/root" is in the search path
(lines 31-32). Is "/root" in your environment? ('echo $PATH') It
shouldn't be. Executables should not be kept there. That's what
/usr/local is for.
I just checked the ebuild for CMFPhoto, and ImageMagick is not required.
So it looks like the search path is the real problem. It should not be
looking for '/root'. If '/root' is in the search path, remove it.
If '/root/' is not in your $PATH, then, as I see it at this point,
you've got two choices:
1. using zprod-manager and remove CMFPhoto from the instance. then
restart zope and see if you get any new error messages. Do this if you
need Plone up more than CMFPhoto.
or
2. *temporarily* change permissions on /root to get zope up and running
and then look at the CMFPhoto configuration; change the default
directory and then change the /root permissions back to what they were.
Since it's quick I would do (2) and then if that didn't work, go to (1).
HTH,
Kirk

[gentoo-user] [OT] Gentoo -> VMware -> XP trickery
Hello, I've got Windows XP installed within Gentoo via VMware Workstation. It's a great setup, but I'd like to avoid having to register the OS.

At the moment the intranet is in pseudo-html (basically ie-only, with lots of doze file links, etc), and is about as standardised as apple pie. The problem is that there are only a few of us (basically the IT dept) that are brave enough to code the html (and I am the only one who even tries to make it valid), so no one else changes anything. All the others write word files, and then just put them in known directories. Basically we have to have a wisiwig environment for there to be any interest. Even minimal tags will be too much for some of the long-toothers in the company. I had a quick look at wikiwig, which looks pretty much like it fits the bill. Has anyone used it seriously? Maintained it? I just might be able to get Gentoo on one of our servers if I can get a really polished wisiwig interface that won't crash every ten minutes... having locking is also (now I think about it) going to be necessary (almost got subversion for the intranet, but the lack of locking was not a plus...

First, if you want the md driver to autodetect your raid arrays, the partitions types on sda, as well as sdb4, need to be 0xfd. Use fdisk to fix them. You also need to create the arrays with "persistent superblocks." But, more importantly, your partition sizes are not even close to a match for raid 0. For example, /dev/md1 consists of sda2 and sdb2 according to your mdadm.conf file...but sda2 is ~92GB while sdb2 is 0.5GB. That means /dev/md1 (assuming raid0 or raid1) should come out about 1GB total size, wasting 91GB of space -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] How can I make udev play nicely with my palm pilot

The problem is that most software (pilot-link, gnome-pilot, ...) seems to expect the nodes to be present all the time - and udev keeps deleting them! Even if I manually create the nodes udev will politely delete them after a sync - causing gnome-pilot to never sync again (until killed/restarted) Manually creating the nodes and commenting out the rule in 50-udev.rules didnt work either (the nodes stayed, just didnt work - no sync). How can I make udev play nicely? BillK Just create a link like /dev/pilot pointing to the special node... I think that should help, but i don't know your exact problem. Necoro So ... ehm... after having had the same problem (I "migrated" to udev yesterday night), i know what you are meaning. And I have it solved as following: a) when you are using "/dev/pilot" as the device change in 50-udev.rules: KERNEL="ttyUSB[0-9]*", NAME="tts/USB%n" to KERNEL="ttyUSB0*", NAME="tts/USB0" KERNEL="ttyUSB[2-9]*", NAME="tts/USB%n" KERNEL="ttyUSB1*", NAME="tts/USB%n", SYMLINK="pilot" The important one is the last of the three.. (And perhaps there's somebody out there to put the first and second line together in a single one) b) when you are using "/dev/tts/USB1" feed gnome-pilot with this as the device... it puts out an error message which could be ignored - it works nevertheless hth Necoro -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] ipw2200
I'd recommend never use ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" at the command line, especially with the --deep option (-D), as you see it can cause a lot of packages to emerge with the ~x86 version. Your best bet is to find the exact version of the ~x86 package you want, and add =ipw2200-the-version-#-here to /etc/portage/package.keywords . I've seen several guides where it suggests to add >=ipw2200-version-#, but this is only if you always want to stay on the bleeding edge.

My CFLAGS (Pentium II, 504 MHz, 224 MB RAM): "-O3 -march=pentium2 -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -ftracer -fno-rename-registers -funroll-loops" I have a stable install of kernel 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 and GNOME 2.8.3. I haven't had a kernel panic yet, and I compiled and run the system with an overclocked 112 MHz front side bus. It was worth sitting around watching endless lines of text scroll by. My secrets? -O3: The highest performance optimization level before code starts to break. It goes up to -O9 if you're daring. (Use -Os to compile for size.) Implies a lot of stuff. -march=pentium2: Implies -mmmx and writes code specifically for the P2 processor. -mmmx: Build code with MMX instructions wherever possible. -fomit-frame-pointer: Don't keep the frame pointer in a register. You get an extra register at the cost of losing debugging ability. -pipe: Use pipes instead of temporary files. Not recommended on a RAM-limited system. -ftracer: Use the processor's branch predictor when compiling. I think it compiles twice with this flag, but it does compile more efficiently. -fno-rename-registers: Renaming registers is only done when running 32-bit code on a 64-bit processor. It's implied on x86 architecture anyway. -funroll-loops: If you can tell how many times a loop will loop (mainly for loops), then unroll it. Does it increase performance? If it does, it's unnoticeable. Don't tell anyone you use it though. It spreads the whole "Gentoo ricer" myth that's been going around the Internet.

The same is true of -funroll-loops...it can actually hurt performance in many cases. This is due to the effect of a cache miss causing the processor to fetch data from RAM, which takes a dozen or more clock cycles on a modern x86 computer. Those running CPUs that have big disparities between the internal clock and the memory bus are well advised to test the effects of these flags on their own systems. For me, compression and encryption (when I make backups) are my big CPU hogs. So those are what I tested, and I found -Os to be about 5% faster on average than -O2, depending upon whether it was gzip, bzip2, and what level (-1 thru -9) of compression I chose. There were some cases that were about 5% slower, but not ones I am likely to use. -O3 was either 5% faster or 20% slower than -O2. Compilation time was about 10% faster with -Os compared to -O2, and I don't really remember how much more time -O3 took. That is on a P4 3Ghz with HT. The encryption code didn't show any performance boost or hit with any of the optimization levels, probably because it includes p4-optimized assembly code. > If your Pentium 4 supports Hyper-Threading, adjust MAKEOPTS > accordingly.

Large C++ packages (like X11 and KDE) can require over one hundred megabytes *per module* for the compilation at -O2. -O3 will require even more memory.

Thanks for the help with everything. One thing to bear in mind is that, with wine versions, more recent does not necessarily mean better. Newer versions contain experimental features that sometimes break compatibility with particular applications as often as they achieve compatibility with others. Because of this I even ended up having to use multiple versions simultaneously, which got pretty messy. Some people say that the versions released in the middle of 2004 (not available in portage) tend to work better than others. However a user comment at gentoo-portage.com recommends the recent version 20050419, so you might want to give that one a try.

Yes - proper march settings will give you nice benefits. Just use
-march=pentium{2,3,4} as appropriate. You don't need the other options,
they're implied by march where appropriate.
And for goodness sake, don't use the ridiculous CFLAGS suggested by some
others. You'll have so many problems down the road you won't know what
to do with your system. Good ole "-O2 -march=whatever
-fomit-frame-pointer" produces fast, stable code. (Skip the
frame-pointer section if you want debuggable code.) Ricing not
necessary; neither is pulling your hair out because of random segfaults
from badly optimized code.
Not to mention that no devs (and few users) will help with anything if
you use more CFLAGS.

[gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant and unencrypted APs
Can wpa_supplicant connect to an unencrypted AP? I'll be connecting to a strange AP tomorrow and I don't know what to expect. I've got to be sure I can get online. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Console resolution on laptop

This means this that the resolution being displayed is less than that your TFT. I've recently acquired an IBM Stinkpad & have experienced the same thing. If you were to display a 800 x 600 desktop (or console) on a CRT display, then it stretches to fit the screen perfectly; because the CRT is analogue and the dot-pitch is very fine indeed there is no significant distortion from "stretching" the image. A TFT displays optimally at a 1:1 pixel ratio - if you stretch an 800 x 600 image to fit a 1024 x 768 display the image will be very poor, as it's not possible to scale pixels cleanly to 120% of their original size on a TFT. In this case a black pixel next to a white pixel might be scaled to something like three pixels: one black, one white and a grey one in the middle. This causes blurring & stuff, so many TFT monitors will simply display the low-res output from the video card in the middle part of the screen with a black border around it. If you knew this already, then my apologies, but your statement could have been better expressed: "my video card's output resolution is much lower than that of my TFT monitor" I tried adding append="vesafb:mmtr:ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to lilo.conf, and also played with different vga="xxx" settings but with no luck. I'm using vanilla 2.6.12-rc4 kernel. My laptops TFT is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I take it you're not using vesafb-tng in the kernel configuration options? In GRUB that requires the framebufer to be defined as "video=", like so: kernel /bzImage-2.6.11-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hda4 video=vesafb:ywrap,1024x768 The old vesa framebuffer is more mature, I think, and you might well find that it works more smoothly for you out of the box. But I think it'll also be depreciated in the future. I think that in any case you will also need the option for "framebuffer console" compiled in. On my system: $ grep -ie vesa -ie framebuffer /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_FB_VESA=y # CONFIG_FB_VESA_STD is not set CONFIG_FB_VESA_TNG=y CONFIG_FB_VESA_DEFAULT_MODE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y Has anyone succeeded in getting whole screen available after booting into console? Yes, although it took me a couple of kernel recompiles & I haven't yet got X working again. :/ On my system I needed to compile support for my video card in as a module before it would do so. $ grep -ie savage /usr/src/linux/.config # CONFIG_I2C_PROSAVAGE is not set # CONFIG_I2C_SAVAGE4 is not set CONFIG_FB_SAVAGE=m # CONFIG_FB_SAVAGE_I2C is not set # CONFIG_FB_SAVAGE_ACCEL is not set I found this advice in a forums thread by Googling for something like "T20 thinkpad vesa-tng" The important thing for you is to use `lspci` to check out what video card you have in your laptop, then Google for that. Btw, when I boot from livecd 2004.3, I get whole display available in console. Also, when I start X I get the whole screen. Good. This means that getting it all working right is achievable, and that your hardware is supported. When you've booted to the liveCD, try taking a look at `dmesg`. I use `dmesg | less`, then search for the lines beginning with "vesafb" - along with a few lines before & after, I found those quite informative. You can find the kernel parameters used on the liveCD by running `dmesg | grep command`, and I think you can also get the kernel config from the liveCD, too, but I don't know how and anyway, you don't learn so much that way. ;P Stroller. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] wpa_supplicant and unencrypted APs
I'm not using wpa_supplicant yet, but from googling it looks like you
should be able to do something like this in your wpa_supplicant.conf file:
# Plaintext connection (no WPA, no IEEE 802.1X)
network={
ssid="plaintext-test"
key_mgmt=NONE
}
I'm guessing you'll have to know the ssid of the network, but that is
easy enough to find: "iwlist eth1/ath0/etc scanning".

That may be just what I need. Thanks a lot Richard.

My laptops TFT is [EMAIL PROTECTED] To use the vesafg: line I think you need vesafb-tng compiled in, which is a patch to the vanilla kernel. (You get the patch automatically applied if you use gentoo-sources, but you still have to select it). without it, I think you have to use vga=xyz ... but if you've already tried that then don't know why its not working. Personally I don't use lilo, so I don't know if your lilo syntax is correct or not... Also, what video card is in your laptop?
