[gentoo-user] ndiswrapper problems

As you can see, it works, despite not being listed on ndiswrapper's compatibility page. (I should probably add it.) Anyway, the problem here is that when you reboot the system, the wireless card doesn't find my access point (D-Link DI-614+), not even with iwlist wlan0 scan. It's only after bringing down wlan0, bringing up wlan0, and issuing iwconfig wlan0 mode managed essid my network ESSID channel my channel key open s:my key nick computer's nickname commit that it might come online.

Other modules are loaded automatically by some of these modules-- snd-seq-oss loads some other sequencer module that I don't remember without looking in the kernel config, but I do remember that you don't have to load it explicitly for that reason.

Re: [gentoo-user] What's wrong with my locales?
Maybe you're missing /etc/env.d/02locale, where you must set your LANG, LANGUAGE and LC_ALL. Bye. El mi, 15-06-2005 a las 16:21 +0200, Holly Bostick escribi: I've been trying to get my locales straightened out. I want to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ISO8859-15) as my default encoding. I originally followed the Gentoo Localization Guide and defined the following locales in /etc/locales/build: en_us/ISO-8859-1 en_US.ISO-8859-15/ISO-8859-15 en_US.UTF-8/UTF-8 nl_NL/ISO-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/ISO-8859-15 nl_NL.UTF-8/UTF-8 rebuilt glibc (again) and everything was kinda OK, except that 1) GDM was displaying in English, so clearly some global setting prior to loading the user desktop was set to English; 2) random programs, usually when run from a su - terminal, reported that the locale was not recognized, and were defaulting to C. This continued to occur even after I put export LANG=[EMAIL PROTECTED] in root's .bashrc (it had originally been set to en_US something, as an additional check against remembering that any given program was being run as root and to be careful). Then I found a how-to on the Wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_UTF-8_enabled_system . Of course, I didn't so much want UTF8 as I did ISO8859-15 (I've not found UTF, which I used previously, all it's cracked up to be, frankly, as the relative lack of applications that support it as opposed to the ISO8859 encodings seemed to cause the stated benefits to evaporate). But what I did find in the wiki article was this new (to me) information: Now you should create /etc/env.d/02locale file, specifying the locales to use. You can add one or two different values usually, but for european countries with euro currency you need to add a third. LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 I didn't have an /etc/env.d/02locale file, so I created one: LANG=nl_NL.ISO-8859-15 LC_ALL=nl_NL.ISO-8859-15 So now, GDM says Welkom bij (hostname) instead of Welcome to $(hostname), and the buttons on the side say things like Taal instead of Language. So I've done something right. But I've also done something wrong: emerge -av splashutils splash-themes-livecd splash-themes-gentoo perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = nl_NL.ISO-8859-15, LANG = [EMAIL PROTECTED] are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (C). perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = nl_NL.ISO-8859-15, LANG = nl_NL.ISO-8859-15 are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (C). perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = nl_NL.ISO-8859-15, LANG = nl_NL.ISO-8859-15 are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale (C). $LANGUAGE ? Where am I supposed to set that? And what's the syntax? Perl seems to be the only one upset by this; why? And where do I set the actual locale, since none of all of these settings seem to be what the system (or Perl) is looking for?

And then I need to run dhcpcd and then re-add the gateway (it's a different computer, not the AP). If it still doesn't work, I just mess around until I can ping an outside host. Is there an easier way to make this cheap card work without manual configuration all the time? net.wlan0 isn't in my /etc/init.d directory, but I did add wlan0 is in the autoloaded modules list.

Sometimes a package will upgrade/downgrade alternately when running 'emerge -uD world'.

I don't want to have to dual-boot or dedicate a machine to them. What are the recommended emulators to use under Gentoo? The DOS games probably bang away directly at IO ports, and Chessmaster 3000 could run under either Win3.1 or Win95.

DosBox is working well for me (although I have not used it for much as yet). As far as I can tell, you might well be able to run some Win 3.1 and Win 95 games under it (since there aren't any Win 3.1 games, they were DOS games, and half of the Win95 games were just DOS games with a GUI installer/loader stuck on ($DEITY, those were hell to get running). So I would suggest that you first go by the DOSBox homepage at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net and look at their database (it's very very long), to see if your game is listed, and its run status, by version.

[gentoo-user] 802.1x Wireless Configuration
Hi All, I'm having a devil of a time getting my laptop on the school's wireless network. Here's what I've managed so far: I've got a Dell Inspiron 5160. I know the wireless card works with the network because it works in WinXP without a problem. I also know that the linux driver is working because I have been able to connect to an unsecured network, and I can successfully scan this network with iwlist. The only problem appears to be authentication. I've emerged wireless-tools and wpa-supplicant, and I know I have to use them in some combination, but I can't for the life of me figure out what goes where. The network protocol is 802.1x and I've got an alphabet soup of Open WEP, PEAP and EAP-MSCHAPv2 that I don't totally understand. I know the ESSID and I have a valid login. The problem I have is that I have no idea how to use wpa-supplicant and/or iwconfig to get the thing running. I've read the help files and man pages, but I'm still confused. Do I use both in a certain order, or just one? It seems like the WEP needs an encryption key, but I think I use my password for the MSCHAP authentication. So where do I get the encryption key from? Is that my password too? Any help anybody could offer would be great. Thanks much! Sean Crandall -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

instructions for working with automake?
Portage does this automatically as long as you have the corresponding FEATURES
enabled.
Also, how do I tell the faster machine to just use it's own power and not
attempt to use the slower one?
When you run distcc-config --set-hosts on the faster machine you want to
exclude the slower machine.
I tried so far, getting distccd running on both machines, each distcc-config
--set-hosts has one IP entry, that of the other machine. Is this right?
You may want to include localhost.
I ran distcc-gnome and saw no activity reported on the faster machine when
emerging something on the slower one. So, it would seem it's not working.
Can anyone give me some hints? The manpage for distcc doesn't seem (to me) to
be much related to the gentoo how-to... '-)

Re: [gentoo-user] distcc configuration
Hi, In order for distcc to actually work there are a few steps to make: If you have one machine 192.168.0.1 second 192.168.0.2 and assuming 192.168.0.1 is the power These are the things you should do on the slow machine (there may be more, i've done it some time ago :)): first in /etc/make.conf make sure MAKEOPTS is something like this MAKEOPTS=-jN where N is the number of CPUs per machine + 2 (1 for each machine). This makes sure make will try to use as many parallel processes as it should make sure on both machines you have set-up distccd to listen and to accept connections, check /etc/conf.d/distcc on 192.168.0.2 make # distcc-config --set-hosts 192.168.0.1:3632 3 192.168.0.2:3632 2 this ensures the slow machine will first try the fast one and then then itself. The number 3 and 2 assume the first machine is a dual processor and the second is a single processor (number of cpus + 1 per machine) on 192.168.0.1 make # distcc-config --set-hosts 192.168.0.1:3632 3 only the power machine is used this way or add the same as above if u also want the slow in the portage features in /etc/make.conf there should be distcc Of course, both machine should use the same build environment (gcc + glibc + binutils) That's about it. # ps aux from time to time on the machine will show some gcc process and you will know it works :) If it works once it will work always.

Re: [gentoo-user] distcc configuration
There were some changes to the tool chain which means that distcc wont work across different x86 archs (e.g., athlon and pentium) and the devs wont change it (marked as WONT FIX on the bug). The workaround is to add CC-gcc and CXX=g++ to make .conf on the client, however this may break other things, not to mention that it isnt currently working for me with gcc3.4 (multiple toolchain scenario). This is a real pita as distcc is most useful when using a fast modern machine supporting slow older machines, which usually means different x86 archs. If you use distcc, turn logging on on the server and make sure its really working, and not going through the motions and silently erroring off. see the distcc buglist (#84942) and I think some forum posts for the gory details ...

One is significantly faster than the other, both x86 (pentium 2 and amd athlon-xp). I've followed the http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml instructions for configuring portage to use distcc. Should I need to continue with the instructions for working with automake? Also, how do I tell the faster machine to just use it's own power and not attempt to use the slower one? I tried so far, getting distccd running on both machines, each distcc-config --set-hosts has one IP entry, that of the other machine. Is this right? I ran distcc-gnome and saw no activity reported on the faster machine when emerging something on the slower one. So, it would seem it's not working. Can anyone give me some hints? The manpage for distcc doesn't seem (to me) to be much related to the gentoo how-to...

Re: [gentoo-user] Baselayout update blasted my wireless networking
Somewhere around Wed, Jun 15, 2005 at 08:04:48PM +0200, a message from Richard Fish went like this: Jun 14 21:01:02 gt40 cardmgr[5320]: executing: './network start eth1 21' Jun 14 21:01:02 gt40 cardmgr[5320]: + /usr/sbin/iwconfig eth1 channel 8 Jun 14 21:01:02 gt40 cardmgr[5320]: + Error for wireless request Set Frequency (8B04) : I'm not sure I understand this output...this happens even before the net.eth1 script is executed, because the first thing it will do is try to load modules, which causes the warning below. Did you modify the pcmcia network script to add an iwconfig command? I have had my wireless working right along using pcmcia and the /etc/wireless/wireless.opts. There are no iwconfig parms set up in that file though, just pretty much the same info I have in this arrangement. Could having pcmcia set to run at default and trying to configure the wireless have something to do with the problem? Ok, this message happens if iwlist eth1 scanning doesn't produce any output on stdout. Could you try running that command and see what you get? This is what I get when I run that command: eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning : Operation not supported Its been so long since I set my wireless up to run with the pcmcia script I have to back and look at how to turn it off.

[gentoo-user] Best way to build a Minimal Gentoo
I'm talking about something stripped down. Perhaps not to a size of 8MB but something less than 100MB would be good. How does one do that? This will be a box which will not have portage included once everything is up. Most likely will be building with uclibc and the uclibc stage1. Any other pointers? And how does one substitute bash(and others) with busybox can it be defined up front so it portage doesn't pull in the dependencies etc? -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
