Re: [gentoo-user] Linux design software recommendations

there's no professional CAD for linux, especially for woodworking:
http://www.ribbonsoft.com/de/qcad.html

A commercial solution is VariCAD, but it's mainly for the engineering 
market.

Besides xfig, there's qcad, a simple 2D only CAD system. You can even 
try Inkscape CVS which supports snapping to object borders and edges.

There has been a specialized woodworking CAD called LignumCAD, but the 
author stopped some years ago due to some "real life" circumstances. 
See lingunmcad.sf.net for details. It's 3D, uses openGL for rendering 
and mainly consists of a set of parametric objects.

I'm really old school, from the days when new things were considered

Being afraid of the dark is understandable, being afraid of the light is

Search the list archives, this came up very recently. i think the program
recommended was scdbackup.

Note that backing up to DVD/CD file by file will destroy file
permissions. I prefer to use squashfs to create a compressed copy of the
filesystem and copy that to DVD. then I can mount it and copy files back
without losing permissions.

It's in portage, but the latest version 0.9 is in ~ARCH.

And it does store the permission and ownership information along with
the files.

[gentoo-user] no video/audio from dv camcorder

[Robert Persson]

I am having trouble capturing from a camcorder via firewire. I can control the 
camera transport from each of the capturing applications (kino, cinelerra and 
mainactor), but I get no video or audio. Nor do I get video when I try to use 
the camera as a webcam in Ekiga (formerly known as GnomeMeeting).

I have made sure that I have read/write permissions for all the devices 
in /dev with 1394 in their names. I have tried every variation of dv1394, 
raw1394 etc. that I can think of in these applications' preferences. I also 
made sure to modprobe dv1394, ieee1394, video1394, raw1394 and video1394 
(whatever that is).

cinelerra has other, unresolved bugs to do with dv capture, so I didn't expect 
that to work perfectly, but the other two I +have+ got to work in the past. 

Apart from that, all that has changed since mainactor and kino worked has been 
whatever has got updated through portage, and a 2.6.15 gentoo kernel with 
reiser4 and suspend2 patches. 

Where am I going wrong?

Many thanks in advance
Robert

This is a package to definately put in package.keywords with ~arch.

Not only is it under rapid development, each ebuild contains a release (even 
the betas) that is almost of release quality.  I feel completely safe using 
the betas that come out of the audacity project for my every day audio work.

[gentoo-user] wired wireless routing

[Catalin Trifu]

Hi,

I have a Linksys ADSL router with 4 ether ports and wireless.
I have a desktop connected with wire to the router and a laptop
connected via wireless.
  Router IP   : 192.168.254.1
  Desktop IP  : 192.168.254.2
  Wireless IP : 192.168.254.3
   The desktop and laptop have both set up 192.168.254.1 as gateway
   The problem is I can not connect from 192.168.254.3 to 192.168.254.2 and
I don't understand why.

[gentoo-user] InkScape trouble

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I did:
 emerge -p -v inkscape

 which gaves me a couple of lines of output but nothing flagged as
 source of trouble, nothing, blocked, masked or such...

 "Ok", I thought, "let's go!"

 emerge inkscape

 ...the CPU was glowing hot for a while

 then...it was ready.

 As normal user I did:

 #> inkscape

 "Ok", InkScape thought, "let's crash!"

 BADABOOM!

 That's it.

 Please tell me, what I did so badly wrong here, since anything else I
 emerge exactly in the same way in the last days, either works well out
 of the box or failed to compile right in the beginning.

 (PS: I checked for any config-files of InkScape at home and removed
 them several times -- no chance)

 Slightly astonished,
 mcc

That's because it stores files in an archive, which is just what the OP
didn't want. There's a choice to be made, use an archive for 100%
backups, or store files individually for simple copying, you can't have
both. I used squashfs because any live distro with a squashfs enabled
kernel can be used to mount the archive and then copy individual files.
but there are so many backup systems out there, and everyone has
different needs.

I have found a workaround:

1. rmmod [all modules with 1394 in their names]
2. modprobe dv1394
3. rmmod eth1394   (because it doesn't play well with dv)
4. start your dv-capturing application


And just in case anyone wants to know:

1. I still couldn't get cinelerra to capture dv without freezing (but then the 
latest version wouldn't build for me).
2. Ekiga's dv support works, but with some serious limitations.

vt8251 *is* ahci-compliant, and in bios there is option to set
up sata controller as ide, or ahci. But no matter what you set,
vt8251/sata is not recognised with standard 2.6.15 kernel...

But there is unofficial patch/mod for ahci.c, and right now
I'm testing it. BTW, I have read on via forum that kernel-dev's
refused to include this patch in official kernel tree, because
there is something peculiar about it (some fix they do not like).
BTW, it's made by via and modified by some developers...

You might want to set your serial to a date format like:

When you do an update on the same day you just increment the last

2006032601

You are more likely to remember when you have done updates with a date.

Re: [gentoo-user] Linux design software recommendations

[Álvaro Castro]

Hello!!

Well, I'm an architecture student who has wasted tons
of time trying to get gentoo runing all kind of
necessary software for my studies.

Maybe if I tell you what software I use, it will help
you:

For 3d:
Maya for linux (prop.)
Pro/E for linux (prop.)
Blender -> IT'S REALLY GOOD (probably one of the best
pieces of software available) It is just not used for
companies.

For video:
Cinelerra

For vectorial drawing:
Sodipodi
Scribus (I really like it, it has all the necessary
things) -> use it instead of Adobe Indesign or
Illustrator

For raster images:
Well, of course, GIMP

For CAD:
Qcad (It is reeaaally BAD) unuseful for Autocad
people.
BricsCAD (prop.) It works OK for Autocad users. You
can get a Demo.


As you can see, unfortunately, there are still some
points where CAD/CAM and architecture linux users need
some propietary software. I tried many other programs
(like Varicad and so on) but they, simply, make you
waste your time.

Make any other question about this topic, I think I
can help you.

Good luck!!

I wonder if anyone has this chipset and knows how is

My kernel tells me that it sees a SATA drive, but I
imagine that if it says "you've got a SATA 2 drive" it
would be better.

I don't find any special option in the kernel
configuration or internet.

Hi,
No on "x86" there're no separate GRP packages (resp. CD).
But after some work dealing with all e.g. Gnome or KDE deps you can make
GRP packages yourself. How?
Using LiveCD-x86-2006.0, boot then just run: quickpkg package-name etc.,
store generated packages away and later use them. Or use stage4 tarball
for multiple identical systems.
Not very sure this will work but seems plausible and logical.
All this on minimum i686. Anyone here?

IMHO, the patch should only include the PCI-Id or something like that -
well, but the patch doesn't seem to be as simple as that.

Do you have a link to the patch? or even a link to the discussion in the
 LKML?

Can't see anything in my USE flage that would bring it in, but after changing 
the package.mask line as you suggested, portage wants to bring in 
mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-r4. I have mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.7 installed.

Do you have a link to the patch? or even a link to the discussion in the

The patched ahci.c is for example here:
http://grivell.home.comcast.net/ahci.c
Someone with nick "CodeRedLin" modified ahci.c with via patch...

Instead of standard ahci.c which comes with 2.6.15-gentoo-r7 sources
I used this modified one, and it really works! Suddenly both my sata
drives are detected. hdparm -t /dev/sda (sdb) gives me very nice
65 MB/s, and that is while I'm doing raid1-resync!

But he (author) says this patched ahci.c will probably not work
with 2.6.16 :-(

There is another patch for sata_via.c :
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/paulrbarber/sata_via_20060221.c
I did not test it, as that modified ahci.c worked for me.
BTW, I'm not sure what is better to use: ahci.c, or sata_via.c?

I have found a very good discussion about vt8521 & linux here:

No it's "net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.21" which fetches mozilla, --tree view

Nope ;-)

It stores the files as-is, in the same hierarchy as the source tree, and
the permission and ownership info in a separate file in the directory
".sync2cd" at the root of the CD/DVD.

This means that if you restore a file "by hand" with cp, you don't
restore the metadata. But if you need it, you can restore it with
sync2cd (which incidentally will tell you on which medium the file is
stored, in the case of multi-CD backups) and the metadata is restored.

There's still the solution "individual files with separate metadata".

True. That's why I have written sync2cd in the first place :-)

What's so confusing about it?  On the first level, mplayerplug-in wants
to be installed. But that requires mozilla-firefox, whihc in turn
requires mozilla-launcher.

It's read from left to right and from top to bottom.

But packages will be merged in ASCENDING order, that is from
bottom to top. So, first mozilla-launcher will be installed,
and then mozilla-firefox. This is of course logical, as firefox
cannot be installed without mozilla-launcher.

OK so at this point, mplayerplug-in wants mozilla-firefox, but I have 
mozilla-firefox-bin installed. Any way to fix that?

from mozilla-firefox-bin ebuild:

DEPEND=">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre5
gecko-sdk? ( net-libs/gecko-sdk )
!gecko-sdk? ( || ( >=www-client/mozilla-1.6 
www-client/mozilla-firefox ) )
|| ( ( x11-libs/libXpm
x11-proto/xextproto

gtk? (
>=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.0
dev-libs/atk
>=dev-libs/glib-2.2.0
>=x11-libs/pango-1.2.1
)"

Could I edit the ebuild like so?

DEPEND=">=media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre5

!gecko-sdk? ( || ( >=www-client/mozilla-1.6

I follow the logic, but, why won't mozilla-firefox-bin satisfy portage? moz 
launcher has been on the machine for a LONG time as has firefox-bin and has 
never wanted mozilla or mozilla-firefox before

As you have surely realized by now this suggests that mplayerplug-in and 
mozilla-firefox-bin are incompatible. If this is not correct and they are 
compatible then you should file a bug. To test it copy the ebuild to an 
overlay and modify it as you have suggested. If you do not copy it to an 
overlay your changes will be wiped the next you emerge --sync.

If you compare mplayerplug-in-3.21 with the previous version then you see that 
this is a new dependency of mplayerplug-in when the gecko-sdk use flag is 
disabled.

So probably they added mozilla or mozilla-firefox and forgot about 
mozilla-firefox-bin or mozilla-firefox-bin is in fact incompatible with this 
version of mplayerplug-in.

As other have said, mplayer-plugin wants to pull in mozilla-firefox. The 
reason for this is that it needs the Mozilla source libraries to build 
against. One workaround for this is to do


echo "net-www/mplayerplug-in   gecko-sdk" >>/etc/portage/package.use

This will make mplayerplug-in pull in net-libs/gecko-sdk instead 
(gecko-sdk is the minimal portion of the Mozilla libraries required to 
build plugins.)

Silly me, I took all the references to an archive on the web page to mean
an archive :(

I personally wouldn't store backups this way, I prefer a compressed
archive when storing on DVD, but it does seem a good compromise,
especially when the files you need to restore have easily guessable
permissions, removing the need to use special software to restore them.

So there is a good reason for mozilla-firefox-bin not satisfying it's depency

Perhaps... I didn't edit the ebuild to find out if firefox-bin would satisfy 
mplayerplug-in. Manuel's suggestion seemed to be more expedient.

[gentoo-user] leafnode and xinetd.conf

[THUFIR HAWAT]

I'd crosspost this from news.softwear.readers, but I don't have
leafnode configured yet ;)




Here is a sample /etc/xinetd/leafnode entry. The entry in the "server"
field has to point to your locally installed leafnode executable.
Dependent on the installation, this executable may not reside in
/usr/sbin but elsewhere (e.g. /usr/local/sbin if you installed
leafnode from the source code).

service nntp
{
disable = no
flags   = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= news
server  = /usr/sbin/leafnode
log_on_failure  += USERID
}




How do I know where leafnode is, please?  I can create a file

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/xinetd/leafnode
cat: /etc/xinetd/leafnode: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ date
Sun Mar 26 21:21:07 IST 2006
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $



such that it's appended /etc/xinetd.conf when xinetd runs?


thanks,

Thufir

[gentoo-user] OT: terminal with horizontal scrollbar

[Franta]

Hi,

does anyone of you know about an X-terminal with an horizontal
scrollbar?

I use to set linewidth in ORACLE's SQL*Plus to something like 1000 or
2000. If I run a select in SQL most of the columns will be lost beyond
the right border of the terminal.

Well, I could use a ''text'' widget of Tcl/TK and write something like
wsqlplus but I hope there is something ready to use for Linux too.

Thanks in advance
Frank

[gentoo-user] Further probs/phenomena

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 another thing I am currently not able to understand:
 In search of a dvb-t tv watching applikation I found kaffeine (as far
 as I know not supoorted by Gentoo).

 Kaffeine needs the xine-libs, which in turn are part of gentoo.

 So I installed the xine-libs and the xine-ui.

 Then I compiled kaffeine and installed it also.

 Right after I started that beast everything works fine (after
 correcting the perms of some related files in /dev/. ...)

 A second start of kaffeine files with this on my terminal:

 Script started on Sun Mar 26 22:38:16 2006
solfire:/home/mccramer>kaffeine

Script done on Sun Mar 26 22:38:42 2006


I reinstalled xine-libs, started kaffeine...works!

Quit kaffeine, start kaffeine againthe same scenario as described
above.

Any idea, what goes wrong here ? Especially, cause kaffeine is started
under user permissions, I could not understand, how this could change
/any/ file outside my $HOME. On the other hand: reinstalling xine-lib
will not change anything in my $HOME...

So what is the crazy logic behind this problem ?

Thank you very much in advance for any helpful reply ! :O)

Keep hacking!

Check out your /etc/xinetd.conf.

But /etc/xinetd.d/leafnode will be included, yes.

Well, I did all that and still no joy. The part about
not be able to connect to the net was true, though.

I thought emerging ftpd would be my salvation but that
doesn't work either. How do you start the bleeping
thing. I  even ran /usr/sbin/ftpd; it didn't gag but
it didn't start either. And there's supposed to be a
whole whack of files under /etc/. Nope. I found
xinet.conf but don't have a clue on how to edit it.

Then there's this. That 'disable' looks ominous.
Should that be set to 'no'? What about 'protocol'?
What should go there?

Yeah, it's just that I normally use my non-root account lsauron,
however, I sometimes will open a Xnest window and come in as root for
this or that, so I want to ensure that the same things work for both
user accounts.

I think that by now I'm down to just how to compile and update my
kernel with the ACPI stuff enabled.  I don't think that the last time
I tried that it worked, because it still tells me (KDE's Control
Centre) that ACPI support is not compiled into the kernel and that I
need to recompile with that stuff in the kernel.

Right well that doesn't look like a DVB-T card to me, it looks like a
framegrabber for ordinary analogue TV.

modprobe bttv

should load the module, and assuming it is the only v4l device you have
it will create a device called /dev/video0

now try watching with xawtv, and if that works graduate to tvtime. Both
in portage.

xmltv has no connection with your tv card. xmltv downloads programme
listings, but it doesn't tune your card. It tells you what is on TV, but
doesn't play it for you.

[gentoo-user] wget -c strange behaviour

[Iain Buchanan]

Hi all,

when using wget recently to get some "free" mp3's from Mike Baas'

When I continued, I used `wget -c ...` but I got "strange" behaviour:

$ wget -c

As you can see, wget didn't continue, instead it tried to download the
complete file again.  It must also be cached by squid, because I
certainly don't get 3.67 M/s on our shared 512k line :)

So the question is: why does wget try to download it from the beginning?
wget shouldn't do this even if the server can't resume, wget should just
die.

And why also does it not appear to finish, even though the mp3 sounds
complete?

many thanks,

[gentoo-user] [OT] Left/Right Channel as Mono in Mplayer

[Ow Mun Heng]

Hi All,

Got a few disks (Karaoke) which has this feature of left (with vocal)
right(Music Only). Commercial set-top DVD players can switch between
left and right channels with a click of a button and cycle through all
the options.

My question here is how can that be done in Mplayer/Linux?

I found that there is an option to play Left  / Right / Stereo using
mplayer, but the syntax is weird and cannot be switched on the fly.

the 2 ways are using PAN and channels.

eg:
mplayer filename -af channels=2:2:1:0:1:1
mplayer filename -af pan=2:1:1:0:0

Anyone knows how to do it on the fly? Keyboard shortcut keys?

[gentoo-user] order of module loading (udev)

[Nick Rout]

udev system, kernel 2.6.24-something.

serial is a module, as is lirc_serial.

How do I change the order of module loading, so that lirc_serial is
loaded first, and grabs the ttyS0 serial port? 

I suspect that coldplug or something is loading the serial module quite
early in the boot procedure.

Thanks.

I'll take some time to clarify this more. This is a copy and paste of my

It's not the best, but it should help anyway. Do you see the * to the
left of ACPI Support? That means that that is compiled into the kernel.
The same for Button. See the M to the left of Battery? That means it is
compiled as a module and has to be loaded when you boot up or whenever
you need to use. The ones that have nothing in there, they are not in
the kernel at all. Oh, do you see the little + sign at the bottom right
under Power Management Timer Support? That means there is more below.
You can use the down arrow to scroll down and it will come up.

As it says up at the top, you can press "y" to compile it in, press "m"
to have it as a module or press "n" to leave it out. You can also swith
through them with the space bar. There are a lot of gurus here that may
disagree with this, but I have no modules for my kernel unless I have to
have it for some reason. I did have modules for my temp sensors but that
was so I could reset it without rebooting. I'm sure someone will come in
with 100 reasons to have modules and some others will have reasons not
too. I say do it like you need to and whatever makes you and the system
happy.

When you make a new kernel, don't remove the old one. Since it does boot
up, you can use it to fall back on in case your new one fails for some
reason. Just give it a different name from the old one when you copy it
over. I do mine names like this:

> [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ls -al /boot/bzI*
> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2196613 Sep 18 2005 /boot/bzImage-gen-2.6.12-1

> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2225130 Dec 27 04:50 /boot/bzImage-gen-2.6.14-5
> [EMAIL PROTECTED] / #


I currently have three kernels that I can boot if one of them gets
corrupted or something. The last digit is like a version number for me.
If you can't boot the old one, you can hit "e" twice when grub comes up
and then use the arrow keys to edit which kernel you want to boot. It
can save you a lot of headaches too. After you edit that, you just hit
return and then hit the "b" key to boot it up. If it gives you a grub
error, just hit the escape (Esc) key to go back and try again.

Another thing you may not know, you can hit the tab key to complete a
lot of commands too. That includes on the grub screen. If you know it is
bzImage something but can't remember the rest, just delete back to the
bzImage then hit the tab key, may have to hit it twice though. It will
either fill it in or give you a list of the ones that match so far. That
works for a lot of things in Linux. Oh, the arrow keys work in there
too. You can left arrow over until you get to the kernel name to change
that. It will keep you from having to put the root= stuff back in that way.

Hope this helps. I'm about to take some meds and may not be around for a
while. Plenty of others here to help though.

  "man ftpd" (or whatever the package is called) for instructions on how
to start it in daemon mode.  A WAG from me is "/etc/init.d ftpd start",
and remember to use etc-update to put it in your default runlevel.

  That's about all I remember about ftpd, because  I've been using ssh
for a long time.  I strongly recommend switching to ssh.  ftp has
security issues for all but anonymous ftp.  This is due to sending
passwords in clear text.  ssh has both "scp" and "sftp", either of which
will push/pull files.  *AND* ssh allows encrypted tunneling *AND* a
secure "telnet" shell equivalant.  It's better all around.

The localhost is not a service it's an ip.

[gentoo-user] ffmpeg emerging

[Luigi Pinna]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello!
I broke a disc and I had to reinstall my gentoo box in these days; in 
the ffmpeg emerging, I found a lot of problem: no ebuild will complete 
with success the process.
All the ebuild failed with with error:

All the dependencies are installed (if I use emerge -D ffmpeg is the

I ask your help because that package is a critish package for me: (kino 
and xine cannot work for me...)
What did I forget? Or is it a bug?
Thanks, Luigi

If you really wanted to telnet to yourself (i dont see any
circumstance in which this would be useful), you'd have to set up a
telnet/ssh server:

It's a kernel patch called PAX, and Gentoo offers hardened-sources which 
incorporate this kernel patch. Google for Gentoo PAX, and you'll find a Howto 
which explains how to set it up.

Did you actually read the original mail? You don't need a telnet server to 
make a telnet connection to the NNTP server.

Well, it seems leafnote is either _not_ up and running or not listening for 
connections on network interface lo.

dito for telnetd.

vcn.bc.ca == localhost??

Because the services you want to connect to are not available.

It's enabled by default.  If you don't want it, you need to boot with
the "noexec=off" kernel option.

Hi,
Confirm all of the above, just to add a comment.
My current kernel (gentoo-sources-2.6.16) works with a PaX patch w/o any
issues. Had to apply it manually though (resolving a reject by some of
the gentoo's additional patches). Apply cleanly on vanilla-2.6.16.
PS:note however that is just a part of all hardening so if in need
choose one of hardened-sources projects.

Yes, that is the same as my config.

I had this set to be compiled into the kernel.  Should that present
any problems?

I had this enabled (compiled into kernel) since I do own a IBM X40.

What on earth is this?  I read the descriptor, but it didn't help me much...

I'm just going to try compiling stuff into the kernel first, before I
try and tinker.

So, I should rename one of my kernels and try and see which one is
which?  Or am I still off the mark?  It didn't look like it compiled
the kernel...  I think it should have taken longer, but it didn't.  I
may be missing a step.  : /

Just a question: if the support is made to be as a module (M, instead
of *) does that mean that you have to add something like "doacpi" to
the boot parameters?

maybe your services are not listening on lo, and only on eth0?
