Hi, it's neither you nor is there something wrong. GnuPG 1.4.1 is the latest stable version in Gentoo, and it does not support s/mime. So the ebuild for gpgme is a little modified and does not recognize the smime USE flag. You have to unmask GnuPG 1.9.15 (as root, do echo "=app-crypt/gnupg-1.9.15 ~" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords ) and emerge it. Then you should create a portage overlay for gpgme, modify the ebuild for 1.0.2: comment out the line IUSE="" and uncomment these lines #IUSE="smime" # !smime? ( >=app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.2 ) # smime? ( >=app-crypt/gnupg-1.9.6 ) After that, re-emerge GnuPG and gpgme. Then you should have s/mime. Be aware that GnuPG 1.9.x is still considered unstable respectively beta by its developers and/or the Gentoo maintainers. HTH - -- Dirk Raeder I prefer encrypted and signed messages.

[gentoo-user] Dependency problems with Stage 1 install
Hi, I'm trying to do a stage 1 installation. I've followed all the instructions on the handbook, having performed (aparently) the bootstrap successfuly. But while emerging system, it failed during one of the packages stating that autoconf was not installed. Emerging autoconf --nodeps failed because it requires automake. Automake on turn requires perl. Perl required libperl. Finally I installed libperl, and attempted to install perl now. It needs libgdbm. So I installed it. So far, this is where I've come now, it is currently attempting to install perl again. I'm making this install on a slow old notebook and it is taking forever. I've configured distcc (according to the handbook example) and I'm not sure if it is using it. I have also activated the cccache. On my desktop, I made the installation using the same CD (Gentoo minimal 2005) from stage 2, and everything was OK. I wonder why I'm having these problems with dependencies. Any clues? Thanks in advance. Ezequiel Tolnay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I'm trying to get this working but I'm having some trouble. The
following command finds the unencrypted AP at two different locations:
iwlist ath0 scanning
but wpa_supplicant will only connect if I specify ap_scan=0. It will
connect that way but I get something like:
connected to SSID "whatever" at address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
and it always fails during DHCP after that.
Also, what should I be careful with when connected via an unencrypted
AP? I've read that SSH is OK, but passwords submitted via a browser
are in the open even if using SSL. Is that right?

RE: [gentoo-user] Hardware upgrade procedure question
Hmm. While admittedly extreme, shouldn't setting the new architecture work, if you recompile the entire system? Is this one of those should-work-in-theory-but- don't-try-this-at-home kind of things? I know there are some packages, like openoffice, that won't compile under the 64-bit arch, but I can just use the binaries for those, no? What if I don't bother updating the arch? Isn't the Athlon64 backwards compatible with the i386 arch? I know I would lose the benefits of the 64-bit arch, but I would probably be ok with that for awhile, until this upgrade path got a little easier.

Re: [gentoo-user] Hardware upgrade procedure question
Athlon64 processors can execute 32 bits instructions. But you can't use 32 bits executables with 64 bits libraries (or contrary), and this will append while recompiling your system (when a library used by emerge or gcc will be recompiled), so it should fail at any time. I think it can be done, respecting a certain order and maintaining executables links to librairies by hand. Already it's not really recommended to modify the CHOST variable without starting with a stage 1. On a running installation, you can have 32 bits and 64 bits libraries installed, and so you can run 32 bits programs if they are linked to 32 bits librairies. It is useful because some programs cannot be compiled in 64 bits (like proprietary programs or open-office), and others can't use some plugins or codecs if they are compiled in 64 bits. 2005/5/25, Zac Medico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > By "new config (AMD64)" do you mean change > CHOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu to CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ? > Sounds like a bad idea. > > --- Daniel da Veiga <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you boot from the > > livecd, chroot and > > emerge the system using the new config (AMD64), > > recompile your kernel > > to the new processor and configure the boot loader, > > you're able to get > > your new system to work with the old configuration > > and the new > > architeture. > > > > Of course, this could take a LONG while (recompile > > your whole system > > and all the installed portage tree)...

There's a much simpler solution, specifically for LAN setups: dnsmasq.

Re: [gentoo-user] Software RAID start
Top posting to keep flow... Sorry Benjamin, I think I missed something really obvious here. I didn't read your original message carefully enough, and thought you were having a problem with the kernel autodetection of your RAID. The part I missed is the "(skipped)" message you get... Looking through the /etc/init.d/checkfs script, it appears that the "(skipped)" message will occur if you have "noauto" specified for the filesystem in /etc/fstab. Take that out, and I will bet everything will work just like it used to. If you _do_ decide to rebuild the raid array, and you want the kernel to autodetect things when it starts, then you need to have the right partition types and create the array with the "persistent-superblock" option, or use mdadm to create the array. This is nice, because then you don't need a raidtab at all... -Richard Benjamin Sobotta wrote: >Hi! > >I think I'll redo the RAID as soon as I find time. For now it'll do the way it >is.

The amd64 processors are backward compatible with 32 bit x86 code. However, they also support a new x86_64 code. The x86_64 code itself is not backward compatible, so it requires different stage (AMD64). __ Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.

Re: [gentoo-user] Hardware upgrade procedure question
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you boot from the livecd, chroot and emerge the system using the new config (AMD64), recompile your kernel to the new processor and configure the boot loader, you're able to get your new system to work with the old configuration and the new architeture. Of course, this could take a LONG while (recompile your whole system and all the installed portage tree)... Maybe an experienced user can answer if this works...

Re: [gentoo-user] Hardware upgrade procedure question
If you want a 64 bit userland then you should start over with an AMD64 stage. So you mean that whenever the hardware platform changes are so substantial (as in this case), one should install the system from scratch?

[gentoo-user] KDE 3.4 visibility support disabled
Dear All, I have just committed a fix to kde.eclass and kde-meta.eclass that disables visibility support in KDE 3.4 (thanks to FlameEyes for the patches). This was a new feature in KDE 3.4 which has caused at least one obvious bug, and possibly others that are less obvious[1]. Anyone still using GCC 3.3 will not be affected by this bug at all as only GCC 3.4 and GCC 4.0 have visibility support. I have been working on a mixed system (some of KDE compiled with, and some without visibility support) and not encountered any issues. An easy way to see if you are affected by this bug is to open kasteroids and press any key to start a game. If it segfaults then you are affected by this bug, recompiling kde-base/kdelibs and kde-base/kasteroids (or kde-base/kdegames) with the patched eclasses will cure this problem. KDE 3.4.1 will be released soon, and so will prompt most people to recompile for all the bug fixes/enhancements it has. I would recommend most people just let KDE components recompile as updates are committed. Please find me on IRC, or post comments to the Gentoo bug[2] if you have problems after using the updated eclass.

Re: [gentoo-user] Creating RAID devices
You were right, now I have compiled the kernel with "CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y", but it's the same as before; there are not peculiar errors, but dmraid continues not to create the devices in /dev/mapper.

The raid configuration (as defined in the raidtab) gets stored in a superblock on each disk. If the partitiontype is fd, linux reads the superblock at boot and automatically starts the array. Since you have now encrypted the whole device, linux can't read the superblock at boot. raidstart works, because it reads /etc/raidtab and sets up the array. You need to rewrite the superblock to all devices in your array. I *think* this can be done by doing mkraid again. But please backup your data before trying out. Perhaps mdmam can do this in a more sane way. Christoph -- echo mailto: NOSPAM !#$.'<*>'|sed 's. ..'|tr "<*> !#:2" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Unfortunately, I don't have an idea. I'd try finding out if this is a known issue upstream, and if so, whether it's been fixed or not.

[gentoo-user] package.* mess!
Hello all, My Gentoo system is up and running beautifully. Along the way, I've installed many software. But, now, I want to make it all systematic, ie, use the files like package.use, package.keywords etc to list out the options i've used for the different software. Now the problem is that I've installed the software with different use flags and keywords right now the command line. Now I want to make it systematic and proper. I'm just wondering if you people could help me find a good way as to how to go about this. Right now I can see myself doing a very very tedious job of using equery and such and listing out everything properly... a few hours' work. I'm prepared to do it of course, but I'd like any suggestions that might help me do it better. Thank you. Yours faithfully, Mrugesh Karnik -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Creating RAID devices
You're right, the device manager was compiled as module, but I thought it was autoloaded at boot and finded no entry in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.
