[gentoo-user] xorg-7: no console switching; can't exit gnome sanely.
I have just upgraded to xorg-7 and found that I can no longer use ctrl-alt-Fn to switch out of the x server. I am using the same version of fglrx that I was before I upgraded and this problem started happening. How do I get console-switching back? I have also found, since the upgrade, that I can no longer exit gnome sanely. The first time I did it I got a kernel panic; the second time I found myself back at a garbled login screen; and the remaining 3 times I have simply found myself with a black screen and an unresponsive mouse and keyboard. I can however, still exit kde and blackbox without problem. The garbled login screen was one I have seen before when I tried to start a second xsession from within a kde session. It looked a bit like what you get when you set a video card to a resolution your monitor can't handle, with a mess of broken horizontal lines across the screen at about the height the login window ought to be. I am still using kdm as my session manager, if that makes any difference (it didn't in the past). Any ideas what could be happening with my gnome sessions?

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on Mac Mini Intel
HI Rick, Yes, Gentoo should run on it. Use the plain x86 installer. that's good news :) . The only problem might be the new type of bios that is in the intel mac series, I'm not sure how well it is supported by linux. I haven't seen any positive or negative messages about running linux on an intel mac so can't help you there. I even wonder if all interfaces (USB, firewire, graphics) will work on the box. And dual booting should be possible, it was always possible with the old apples. I hope Apple didn't do some magic to prevent installation of other OSes like Mac OS X. Anyway, I guess I will give it a try. Thanks best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] OT? - resizing a windows partition to take up more space (and take from gentoo :-()
Hi, I have the following partition table /dev/hdb6 9004120 8780172223948 98% / udev452040 108451932 1% /dev /dev/hdb8 8803312 8388844414468 96% /usr /dev/hdb1 12289692 11802356487336 97% /winsux /dev/hdb2 10080520 7198664 2369788 76% /mnt/ubuntu /dev/hdb7 39068848 37834076 1234772 97% /mnt/b40 none452040 0452040 0% /dev/shm Basically, I want to give my ntfs windows winsux partition half the disk (.net2 is so enormous I have no space for anything else...). I have an 250gig external usb hd that I am formatting in ext3 (and it looks like it will take several hours!) that can be used for transfer. I would like to create images of both windows and gentoo and then restore afterwards - basically only / and /usr need to be imaged (I guess I could just copy them, and may end up doing that...) but I am pretty sure a straight copy of windows won't work. What I *might* try is to copy linux to the server or external hd and then simply resize the ntfs partition with ntfsresize. I have had success resizing ntfs with rescuecd so might go that route. Anyone got any suggestions on the best approach? dd? cp + ntfsresize? Cheers Antoine -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on Mac Mini Intel
Hi Antoine, I believe the idea was that you can do just that - dual boot with whatever you want for x86. I guess it depends on GRUB and if it can install so it is found by the Mac Mini BIOS. The inverse - installing intel osx on a non-mac machine is not going to be possible (or at least probably not legal). I didn't read the Mac OS X license, but as I'm not interested to install it on any other machine, I don't care. I want to install Linux on the MAC Mini, but if possible I'd like to keep OS X as well on it. Thanks for the thoughts best regards ce -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Instead, use just splash. Emerge splash and whatever theme you want. Emerge, if you haven't done so, genkernel. Use genkernel to create an initrd (actually, initramfs) for you even if you haven't used genernel for compiling the kernel: genkernel --gensplash=your_theme --gensplash-res=1024x768 initrd Replace your_theme and 1024x768 with your preferred settings. Add --menuconfig to the option if you want to look up your kernel configuration again, but if you change it you must also compile a new kernel. Inside the kernel, you need support for the framebuffer and for splash. Assuming you are using grub as a boot loader, you need an entry in grub.conf like this: title= NOS - The Namibian Office Solution by SysEx (Pty) Ltd. root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda2 quiet udev CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 video=vesafb:ywrap,[EMAIL PROTECTED] splash=silent,theme:sysex initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 Obviously, you have to adjust devices, kernel version, initrd version, theme and resolution to your liking.

Thanks for your ideas. Jonatan I had a 5200 card and two monitors and have never had this trouble -- either when using twinview or dual head modes. Here's an experiment. unmerge nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel and try installing the nvidia drivers directly using their compile settings and installation routines. Next, check your xorg.conf file again. Another poster suggested correctly that you should have Load dbe as well as Load extmod (see the sample configuration file included with the source. Next, check how the agpgart module is loaded. Is it built into the kernel? Is it a module? Is modprobe agpgart being run? It must be a module if you are going to use the NVAGP option. Without agpgart loaded, nvidia drivers might bonk.0 More than likely, unless there is a hardware failure, your problem is one of configuration. Hopefully, this will get you going in the proper direction. I have used the nvidia drivers for almost 3 years with both the 5200 and 6200 cards and various different screen configurations, including laptops. I _DO_ know that configuration is a total bear. Not easy, confusing, and not intuitive! A good way to see what a bare nvidia configuration will be like is to run Xorg -configure. It will create a file in /root called xorg.conf.new which will show every option the driver (in this case nvidia) reports. While I currently only have one monitor, FWIW here is xorg.conf.new as reported by Xorg -configure for my setup.

[gentoo-user] bind zone.file won't load
Running an authoritative name server on a small home lan as training exercise. And using DNS and Bind 4th ed as a guide.

(if mail doesn't mangle my asci production too bad.) My problem is how to integrate 192.168.1/24 into my zone.files The reverse-pointer zone.file for 192.168.1 is where the rub is. I'm very inexperienced with routing in general and nameservers in particular setting up a home lan nameserver is a training exercise for me. Where I get confused is what is the origin `@' for this zone? Can I use `@' or need to spell out 192.168.1? What happens to my domain... `local.lan' does it still cover what are now really two numeric domains 192.168.0 and 192.168.1? I've tried various combinations in the reverse zone for 192.168.1, but all I've tried have has one or another problem loading, or being ignored. The reverse file for 192.168.1 is below and at the end .. after names logs is the db.local.lan zone file. (naming convention stolen from DNS and Bind (4th ed)) I'll post, at the end the named log output from this zone.file as an example but as mentioned, I've tried quite a few combinations unsuccessfully.

[gentoo-user] Courier-Imap slowing to a crawl
Hey everyone. I've been running a Gentoo mail server here at home for almost 3 years and have had great luck with it. However, since I made a large group of updates a few weeks ago, Courier-Imap has been slowing down, so much so that my client requests eventually time out. A reboot fixes this, but it's gotten to the point where I'd have to reboot every single day in order to keep it running the way it should be, and I know there must be some way to fix this. I've tried just restarting the Courier daemons, but this alone is not sufficient. Courier-Imap was never updated, so that shouldn't be the problem. However, the packages that were updated (with new USE flags; using --newuse) were Postfix, OpenLDAP (newly merged), Apache (from 1.3 to 2.0), OpenSSL (I suspected at first that I had to build Courier and Courier-authlib again against the new OpenSSL, but this didn't prove to help) and a few others (unfortunately, I can't remember what they were, but I highly doubt they were related.) Just to see if this would help, I tried rebuilding Courier-Imap and Courier-authlib after having merged the new packages. Unfortunately, this did not help. Authentication itself goes quick. However, at the point where Thunderbird says, Looking for folders, (sorry I couldn't be more descriptive than that) it goes on and on and on and eventually times out. After I've rebooted, it goes quickly like it always did before the updates, but then it gradually slows down, and by the next day, it's usually really bad again. I wondered if something was hogging the CPU, or if something was leaking memory, but I checked both those things, and so far, I don't think either of those are a problem. The only other change I can think of is that I had been compiling with -O3 optimizations ever since the server was built (I always had great luck with that and it's been very stable; I actually believe this may have been the default setting at the time), but decided to step down to -O2 before I built all those other packages since I wanted to make sure everything would be stable. Does the fact that some packages were compiled with -O3 optimizations and the fact that more recently some were built with -O2 optimizations cause some kind of problem? Is there a way that I can rebuild my entire server on either -O2 or -O3 optimizations so that I can make everything consistent? Should I even care about that? I'm just trying to throw out every possibility here as this is one of the most bizarre things that's happened to me to date. If anybody has any ideas, or if anybody has had any similar problems, a reply would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks everyone. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] very slow booting
hi thereim having some slow boots after i upgraded my kernel from 2.6.12, before, all the boot process to the login took about 25-30secs, but i have tried the gentoo sources 2.6.15 and the suspend2 sources 2.6.14 and 2.6.15 (currently using this one for the hibernate feature) with the same bad results, it tooks like 50-60 secs just to get over the initial boot process, after that it goes smooth loading the modules and services that tooks like 8-10 more seconds, boosting the overall time at 70secs, just too much i notice that the boot stops some second on things like iptables and ip_contrack, but my question is why that doesnt happen on my old kernel 2.6.12? and what can i do about it?my machine is an inspiron 6000 laptop

Re: [gentoo-user] bind zone.file won't load
Running an authoritative name server on a small home lan as training
exercise. And using DNS and Bind 4th ed as a guide.
A quick sketch of this network(There are more hosts on it
but for simplicity):
(All have prefix 192.168 and netmask 255.255.255.0)
INTERNET
| (Dynamic IP)
|
NETGEAR (consumer grade router)
reader | 0.20 fwobsd
--
| 0.4| 0.3 | 0.5| 0.19
|| ||
[ m1 ] [ m2 ] [ m3 ] [ m4 ]
| 1.2| 1.1
||
rdmz fwdmz
So I have two networks here.. 192.168.0/24 and 192.168.1/24
M1 and M4 both have 2 nics and addresses in 192.168.0 and 192.168.1
as shown... (if mail doesn't mangle my asci production too bad.)
My problem is how to integrate 192.168.1/24 into my zone.files
The reverse-pointer zone.file for 192.168.1 is where the rub is.
I'm very inexperienced with routing in general and nameservers in
particular setting up a home lan nameserver is a training
exercise for me.
Where I get confused is what is the origin `@' for this zone?
Can I use `@' or need to spell out 192.168.1?
What happens to my domain... `local.lan' does it still cover what are
now really two numeric domains 192.168.0 and 192.168.1?
Here's a reverse zone file for my home network. It's 10.10.0/24
but you'll figure out how to tailor this to your needs.

[gentoo-user] Changing role of router
My current home network consists of several PC connected to a Netgear wireless router (using its default factory IP of 192.168.0.1). It also serves DHCP address to machines that need it. It, in turn, is connected to my DSL modem. I will be adding a firewall to the mix and plan to use the Netgear wireless router solely as a hub and WAP. I will disable it's DHCP serving functionality. My questions are: a) Given it's new role, will it still require an IP address? If so, it will be on my internal network (vs. DMZ with servers) and have an address of 192.168.1.1 for example. Should this be changed now before I rearrange the configuration? I assume it needs an IP as I will need to access the web-based admin interface to turn wireless on and off, etc. b) I would assume the WAN port would not be used and all machines using the hub would just plug into one of the four LAN ports. c) I have a true hub that will be used in the DMZ consisting of machines with addresses like 192.168.0.x. Here I assume the hub would *not* have an IP assigned to it. Just to be clear, the firewall box has 3 NICs. One will have an IP (dynamic) assigned by my ISP. The second will serve the DMZ and have an IP of 192.168.0.1 and the third will serve the internal network and have an address of 192.168.1.1. Just trying to clear some conceptual errors I seem to be having. Thanks for any input, clarifications, and/or corrections. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Can you show how a zone file for adding 3 new addresses to your scheme
One new machine new.iproducts.test whos sole job is to be passed copies
of all connection attempts at the firewall to internet interface.
This is an imaginary exercise and is not suggesting that you would
want to do something like it. However it is what I'm trying to do and
is the source of my bind problem.
`new' has two nics the one facing the firewall/router to internet is
only allowed to talk to that router on that nic (by pf blocking) at
10.10.0.5.
The second nic is `newdmz' at 10.10.1.1 and it is hardwired to a
simple hub and from there to a second nic on g40.iproducts.test.
Which is `g40dmz' at 10.10.1.2
The second nic is so 1 other lan machine can ssh to newdmz for what
ever reason.
So we've added:
new.iproducts.test. at 10.10.0.5
call them: newdmz.iproducts.test. at 10.10.1.1
g40dmz.iproducts.test. at 10.10.1.2
The two nics are hard wired thru a hub to each other but not to
anything else. Neither machine with 2 nics is setup as a router.
That is, forwarding internally is not enabled.
Now integrating those two on 10.10.1/24 in zone file:
db.iproducts.test is pretty straight forward
But the reverse zone file
db.10.10.1 is where my meager skills end.

I'm thinking the very nature of a module is that it isn't built in. Or do you just mean I'd chose `*' instead of `m' and move bzImage into place in /boot? (Most) kernel modules can be either built into the kernel, or separately from the kernel. Only a very few can only be builtin or only loadable. But whichever they are, they're really all modules-- the kernel is a modular framework, after all, which is why you have to configure it-- to say which kernel modules you want to build, and how you want them built (as builtin to the kernel, or as separate loadable modules). If they're built into the kernel body (*), they're called built-in, in which case they are an integral part of the bzImage, and increase the size of the kernel. Builtins will also always be loaded by the kernel just because they're part of the kernel; this is why you must build certain modules (like for filesystems) as builtins and not as modules, so the kernel has them loaded before it needs them to read the relevant filesystem. If the modules built as dynamically loadable modules (M. which produces little chunks of code-- *.ko files, I think-- in /usr/lib/modules/kernel_version when you run make modules_install), they are called modules (or loadable modules, or dynamic modules). In this case, they 1) do not increase the size of the kernel (because they're not in the bzImage that is the kernel), 2) they are dynamically loadable (modprobe) and removeable (modprobe -r), and may or may not exist at all (because you have the ability to pick and choose which loadable modules you actually want to build in your kernel config). So what Peter meant was that if you add the modules as loadable modules (by choosing M), you wouldn't have to do anything other than make and make modules_install to install the new module (you need to do a make so that the kernel config knows that there's a new module *to* make), but because the body of the kernel has not actually changed (since loadable modules are not compiled into the bzImage like the builtin * modules are), you don't actually have to install the new bzImage, because it's exactly the same as the one you had previously installed. You should be able to modprobe the new module and go right on without rebooting. However, if you compiled the new modules directly into the kernel (by choosing *, or compiling a module that has a sub-function that requires a *), then you would have to install the new bzImage and reboot, because the bzImage (the kernel) has actually changed.

I added some unnecessary confusion by saying `the very nature of module is that it is not built in'... sorry. Just sloppy thinking here thanks for clearing that up very well. But since my original question was: [How to -ed HP] Compile a module by itself (not during kernel compile) and insert that module into a running kernel. That would rule out `*' so that's why it confused me. However, if you compiled the new modules directly into the kernel (by choosing *, or compiling a module that has a sub-function that requires a *), then you would have to install the new bzImage and reboot, because the bzImage (the kernel) has actually changed. Nothing different really than just compiling a kernel In fact it sounds like the whole process is required for adding a new `loadable' module too, just leaving out the moving of bzImage. And no reboot required. I guess I sort of thought there was some trick way to just compile a module and not do all the linking and grinding of `make' against the whole tree. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Unless you've done 'make clean' previously, 'make' will only compile required files based on changes you've made to your config. My laptop runs a monolithic kernel with very few modules (PCMCIA and USB hotplugged stuff), but as long as I'm not changing versions, adding or removing features usually only involves compiling a few source files and linking the bzImage. If you just want to build new modules and haven't made any changes to the actual kernel, 'make' can be left out since the bzImage doesn't need rebuilding - 'make modules modules_install' will be sufficient to build and install your newly selected modules. If you've run 'make clean', which removes all previously compiled objects, a monolithic kernel will have to be rebuilt from scratch - but once again, running only 'make modules modules_install' will rebuild all your modules but leave the kernel itself alone.

[gentoo-user] sound recording software in gentoo
I wanted to see if there's a way to set up a home recording mini-studio using Linux. In Windoze, there's things like Cubase, Ableton, Reason, Wavelab, etc... What's available in Linux for that purpose (recording, sequencing, mixing, sound effects), and which of those does Gentoo have in the Portage tree? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
