Thanks Pupeno,

Unfortunately it's a sendmail setup on a hosted account and no info is
forthcoming from the admin.  It seems like an mbox style mail
implementation.  That's all I know about it I'm afraid.

[gentoo-user] gentoo workstation x/kde: disk size requirement...

[Jarry]

Hi,

I want to make my notebook dual-bootable (i must keep win because of
some software), and I would like to know how big partition do I need
for gentoo (basic workstation install, with X/KDE).

Would single (except for swap) 10 GB partition be enough to handle
updating and compiling? I would not like to see how portage eats all
my disk space and leaves me stuck in the middle of update process...

Actually, I had never noticed that the 100 light was not turning on

Hehehe. Until you push the network, you probably would never really 
notice. :)



dragonfly ~ # mii-tool -r

dragonfly ~ # mii-tool -v
eth0: autonegotiation failed, link ok


I must admit - this I find quite interesting. Somewhere along the line, 
the switch and the interface aren't talking to each other.



OK, so something is having trouble with this negotiation stuff. I'll
drag out some new cables after I send this and see what happens with
that. I looked at the LinkSys switch docs again. There are no user
settings that I see to get the switch to support 100Mb/S. It's
supposed to be automatic.


Your cables could be an issue. For 100MBps you really need Cat5, 
although Cat4 may be able to handle it (just not ideal). Cat5e is 
generally the best as (IIRC) it supports up to Gigabit ethernet.



Again, thanks very much. mii-tool is very helpful. I'll also have to
look at mii-diag to see if it can help with this problem.


Depending on the two computer locations, you could try connecting the 
two computers together via a crossover cable and seeing how the 
autonegoition works.


I think there are some switches which require all ports/nodes to be on 
the same speed/duplex settings as it can't handle the differences, 
although I find that unlikely with any modern switch (personally, I'm 
running two Netgear Switches - FS105, 5-port & FS108, 8-port, and they 
can handle multiple node-types - all systems are on 100baseTx-FD whereas 
my VoIP phone is 10base-HD, and they all work without a problem).


Try disconnecting one system and restarting the switch to see if one 
node is causing a problem. Also, if you can, try a crossover cable to 
see if it's the switch causing the problem and not the computers.

[gentoo-user] Adding Linux clients to samba primary domain controller

[Ryan Viljoen]

I am currently helping out my old high school.
They have just got some "new" pc's and they are wanting to run a dual
boot setup on them with windows 2k and gentoo. The profile and home
directories are all on a server and are mounted once the user has
logged on and authenticated... nothing out of the ordinary there.


Now how does one do the same thing with a linux client ie: the user
log in is authenticated on the server and once that is done their home
directory is mounted on the client for them?-- "When
you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just stare at

That should be fine, one of my machines has an 8GB disk and I run run

Yes, I have seen the same. It does seem to happen more often if either
the page has a java applet or flash, or if I have previously visited

I'm no portage expert but I think you have to re-emerge the meta "emerge

That's actually a good thing I take it you're doing this in a
terminal? Which one? Was it compiled with UTF8 support?What font is the
terminal using for display? A "?" replacing characters tends to mean (in
font-speak) that the character is 'known', but no actual character
exists to render under the selected font, or font encoding. So you kinda
get a"?" literally because the display doesn't know what to show there,
if you see what I'm getting at.

Are you able to actually use any of the files properly, even if the
filenames are not displayed correctly? Or are you unable to try that,
because you just can't read any of the filenames?

If your Winbox is Chinese, does your terminal, and the display font
chosen for the terminal support Chinese characters?

I've gotta tell you, getting UTF8 and font encoding properly set up so
that 'special characters' appear correctly across programs and terms can
be a pain in the butt, and I'm only needing it for another Latin-based
language, not any of the Asian or Cyrillic languages that use a
completely different character set. But it's well worth doing, because
it's more of a pain to not be able to read filenames or messages because
of these stupid '?'s or other 'placeholder' characters that must be used
in place of the correct ones when the system is not set up to support
the correct ones.

That should be more than enough. My laptop has a 8GB / partition
(/home is mounted in a separate one), and I never get less than 1.5G
free as long as I made sure to unmerge unneeded versions of the
kernels.

how many clients? AFAIK, on the linux computers in my department in a
university just has a file server, which gets mounted by every linux
box as NFS, and /home/user is just a link to /mountpoint/user

I've never administered a large network before, so I don't know how

our department and supports about 500 people, 150 machines or so.

It used to happen here. Most probably it has something to do with Flash,
as Firefox hasn't crashed even once since I removed it. Can't say
anything about JavaApplets, though. So few websites seem to have them
nowadays.

It doesn't. It mounts the NFS volume at boot up. The user homedirs

gcc along with some other packages are _slotted_. That means that you 
can have more that one version installed at once. To chose what 
version to use there is a program called gcc-config.
Try and run "gcc-config -c" to see what compiler your system currently 
use, and try and run "gcc-config -l" to see what compliers are 
currently installed on your system. Finally run "gcc-config #" where # 
is the number of the complier listed above that you want to use.

My gentoo system's locale is set to en_US.UTF8 and my
xfce-extra/terminal is fully support UTF-8 encoding.  As my previous
post says, I can see the Chinese filenames using CIFS with the following
command switches:

# mount -t cifs //winbox/movies /mnt/samba -o iocharset=utf8

But if I mount the path using smbfs, even specified
iocharset=utf8,codepage=utf8, the filename is shown incorrectly.  I
don't think it's because of my terminal encoding setting.

[gentoo-user] Blackscreen on Xorg-X11 after monitor and video card change

I just inserted an NVidia 7800GT and put the computer on a 2000FP monitor and adjusted xorg.conf to the correct refresh rates for my monitor but I just get an unresponsive blackscreen after doing startx. I had X11 properly running with an NVidia QuadroFX 1400 and with a gateway CRT.

[gentoo-user] mmx use flag on Pentium 4

[Robert Persson]

Should I enable the mmx use flag when I am compiling stuff (e.g. mplayer) for 
a pentium 4?  I'm confused because I've kind of got the idea that mmx is 
obsolete, but I'm not clear exactly how obsolete.

Many thanks

In theory, yes it is sort of obsolete - sse and sse2 are the preferred
method. However, so long as you have specified -march=pentium4 (and
-mcpu=pentium4 or -mtune=pentium4 with >=gcc-3.4) mmx/sse/sse2 will be
implied as part of the compilation process.

As for mplayer - unless you set the appropriate use flag, then almost
all C(XX)FLAGS will be remove from the process as (like gaim) it is
notoriously flaky with anything other than the basic settings.

[gentoo-user] multiple gcc versions

I'm mainly in x86 and thus using gcc-3.3.6. However, as i do some

to install gcc-3.4.4 additionally, so that i can make sure that the code 
i'm writing is accepted by gcc-3.4.x too [i know that i can't expect my 
code to work, as it is c++ stuff and the libs i'm using are compiled

[gentoo-user] Can't get iptables to work on AMD64, 2.6.12-gentoo-r10

[Michael Kjorling]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

My system is AMD64, Linux 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 (from gentoo-sources),
iptables 1.3.2 and generally up-to-date. I can't seem to get iptables
to work. Netfilter support is compiled into the kernel (compiling it
as a module and loading that gave the same result), as evidenced by:

$ zgrep -i iptables /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=y
$ 

but iptables refuses to run:

# iptables -L -n
FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.
iptables v1.3.2: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist 
(do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
# 

`iptables -X filter' gives me the same error message.

Any suggestions as for how to get packet filtering working (including
kernel configuration options to try) would be greatly appreciated.

  I'm running gcc 3.3.6.  I just ran "emerge --sync" a few minutes ago.
Running "emerge --ask --deep --update --world" doesn't mention gcc.  Are
you unmasking a test version?

I think gcc-3.4* is still marked ~x86; however since that version -mcpu 
has been depreciated in favor for -mtune.


As for the mmx information, that's valid across all gcc versions. If you 
specify -march=pentium4 and -mcpu=pentium4 as part of your CFLAGS, -mmmx 
and -msse, etc., will be implied by the compiler, and any programs built 
to take advantage of the extensions will be able to do so.

[gentoo-user] Default font for X

[visualnoise]

Users,

I just emerge'd --newuse --update --deep world then went to work.  When
I returned to GDM I had a different (and uglier) font at the prompt.
This change has also affected Firefox, perhaps more.  So how do I set
something more pleasing to the eye as a default font for all X apps?
Also, why did this happen?  I thought emerge left config files alone
when updating.  Also, I have checked out /etc/fonts/local.conf and to my
limited knowledge it seems to be in order.

Thanks,
matthew

ps - Also just found out that Abiword complains about not detecting 
fonts, though again /etc/fonts/local.conf look right to me

What are the NT file permissions of the share you're trying to mount?
You might also want to check the share permissions.  Depending on
which Windows OS you're mounting from, they may be different.  If I
remember correctly, NT permissions override share permissions.

Why blame random things when you have no clue what the actual problem is?  I

Your build logs show that in both cases you got segmentation faults when

Thanks,

It shouldn't be too much of a problem since they are different branches 
of gcc and should be default install side by side. I run 3.4.4-r1 and 
when I pretend to install 3.3.6


# emerge -p =gcc-3.3.6
[ebuild  NS   ] sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6

(from man emerge)   
  N = new, (not yet installed)
  S = new, slot installation (side-by-side versions)

First of all you would need to make the 3.4.4 version available

echo "sys-devel/gcc ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Then try # emerge -p gcc to test how it will install the new version. If 
it shows NS, it won't remove 3.3.6 at all. Otherwise you may want to 
hold off installing.


Use gcc-config -l to check what version it is using after the install 
and make sure it's set for 3.3.6, otherwise change it (that is assuming 
you are still wanting 3.3.6 as default).


Depending on how you compile your programs you can use the gcc-3.4.4 and 
 g++-3.4.4 (ie g++-3.4.4 -o foo foo.cc) commands if you do it manually.


Or else you can use gcc-config to set 3.4.4 before compiling your code 
to test if it compiles and then change back to 3.3.6 when you're done.

  The docs for 3.4.X are a lot more detailed than 3.3.X docs.  3.3.6
docs say that -march implies -mcpu but don't say in so many words that
certain values of -march imply -sse, etc.

  While we're talking about compilers and sparse documentation, I've got
an AMD64 K8.  The docs for an AMD64-bit install scared me off to 32-bit
land.  Later I found out that the 64-bit install docs are out-of-date
and the problems they mention seem to have been solved.  However, since
I have things humming along, I don't really want to tear my install down
and rebuild from scratch.  One question... I'm running
> CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -march=athlon -m3dnow -mmmx -msse 
> -msse2 -mfpmath=sse"

  Is there a way to figure out if I can use a higher version of Athlon
in my CFLAGS line in 32-bit mode?

[gentoo-user] Can I make dhcpcd run in background when trying to get an ip address?

[michael]

I have a computer with both a wired and wireless network card. At home I
use the wired connection, but when out I use the wireless.

Normally, I use the default net.eth0 for my wired connection, and my own
script for wireless :

ifconfig eth1 up
iwconfig eth1 essid "foo"
dhcpcd eth1

If I enable them both using rc-update, then if one isn't available (I
only plug in the wired network when I know wireless is not available)
the init process will wait until the dhcpcd times out, which is quite 
long (and it needs to be, because some access points seem to take a 
long time).


Is there some way I can have dhcpcd to run in the background, and to
provide an IP address to my interface when it gets a response from the
server? I seem to remember busybox had script that did this; is there a
general solution?

Thanks,
Michael

The first thing that comes to mind is to set
RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes"
in /etc/conf.d/rc

However, lots of things rely on the net.* scripts before they start.
Have a look at the output of
`egrep need.*net /etc/init.d/*`
and you'll see every service that will wait for your network script to
start (which means waiting for a dhcp response)

The second thing that came to my mind, and this would probably rely on
you only getting a dhcp for the wireless, and not the wired lan, would
be to "roll your own" /etc/init.d/net.eth1 script.  Make it exactly the
same as /etc/init.d/net.lo, but in the depend() function, add something
like "provide mywireless".  This, coupled with parallel startup, should
mean that no other init script will require your net.eth1 connection and
it can take time without holding other scripts up.

I've never tried this idea, so it could be fundamentally flawed, but its
just a thought!

HTH,

Well checking the supported products, only the 7800GTX is supported, not 
the 7800GT.


The first drivers to include 7800GT support were version 77.77 (windows 
only release) to coincide with the release of the 7800GT (also on August 11)


Windows XP/2000
Version: 77.77
Release Date: August 11, 2005


The latest Linux drivers were released 2 days prior to the 7800GT being 
available, therefore no support for that card.


Linux Display Driver - IA32
Version: 1.0-7676
Operating System: Linux IA32
Release Date: August 9, 2005

You would assume it would be fixed up in the next driver version, but 
that's no consolation. People have given benchmarks from a 7800GT on 
linux (gentoo even), but nothing on getting it to work.



It does also mention the NVIDIA device files so I suppose you should 
check that as well.


ls /dev | grep nvidia

Should give these two results
nvidia0
nvidiactl

Hi,
Not very much info i'm afraid, but a working solution.
Choose to use shorewall and in their site-docs (pdf including) there is
a graphical example of kernel config to use with shorewall.
As their's intentions are for shorewall to be mostly used for quite
everything with iptables, it has IIRC quite all options turned ON under
iptables. Use this for some 2,5 years (with very small changes).
Think you can also check the iptables site/docs (Google too).
There was some site (easyiptables/easyfirewall) with a web-page menu
driven config, don't know about kernel-config (check this ML archives).

If you run "dmesg | grep filter" do you see:

ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team

???

Can we assume you did "make modules_install" when building the current
kernel?

Did you run "emerge iptables" (Im assuming yes) ?

Do you have any IP tables modules too? ("grep IP_NF_
/usr/src/linx/.config" should tell you).

[gentoo-user] udev-070: cannot find dvd drive

[fire-eyes]

Hello, I am using udev-070 and I cannot find my dvd drive.

The kernel certainly finds it:

hdd: PLEXTOR DVDR PX-708A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

However /dev/hdd doesn't even exist. Furthermore, neither do /dev/dvd or
/dev/dvdrom or /dev/cdrom or anything of the sort. Leaving me zero
access to read or write cd's or dvd's.

Any ideas out there? I have tried udevstart several times.
