As far as I can tell, there aren't any keybindings there.

Did you run etc-update? Make sure /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers says vt7 at the 
end. Try changing XSTATICVT in /etc/conf.d/xdm if you already have the 
vt7 set in Xservers.


On the side, is it possible to customize the appearance of XDM (I know I 
can for GDM)?


Yeah it uses the fun Xresources stuff. You should be able to configure 
for your system in e.g. /etc/X11/app-defaults/xdm. See the xdm man page 
for details.

I would really suggest installing the ipw2200 drivers separately from
the kernel, i.e. emerge  net-wireless/ipw2200. To do so you should
reconfigure your kernel so that it has basic Wireless Lan support, but
with ieee80211 and ipw2200 turned off. The ipw2200 ebuild would bring
in an outside copy of ieee80211, follow the instructions that come up
at the emerge to remove the in-kernel source of ieee80211 completely.
And you should also be able to use the 3.0 firmware. 

I've used the drivers from outside of the kernel since version 0.6 and
never had any problem.

[gentoo-user] ipw200 wireless config problem

2006-08-18 Thread Richard Watson




Hi can anyone help me resolve this problem. I'm 
running kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.16-gentoo-r9. I've built in support for the 
ipw2200 driver and installed fimrware image ipw2200-firmware-2.4 as the forums 
say the latest firmware image is not supported with my kernel version. I've got 
problems ... when I try and install. wireless-tools installs OK but no interface 
is present when running iwconfig. I get the following error on 
dmesg.
 
# dmesg | grep ipw
ipw2200: no version for 
"ieee80211_wx_get_encodeext" found: kernel tainted.ipw2200: Intel(R)

How do I check that ieee80211 is installed 
correctly in my kernel (not as a module I assume since ipw2200 is installed). 
any other tips would be really appreciated as I've been trying to figure this 
out for ages.
 
Thanks, Richard

[gentoo-user] Problem with X apps from remote PC

2006-08-18 Thread Matthias Fechner

Hi,

I have here Xorg running. My system is a AMD64, software is
up-to-date. X is compiled with xinerama tag.

Now if I start emacs or a xterm etc on my FreeBSD pc I can only see
the decoration of the window but nothing is displayed in it.

As window manager I use XFCE4.

Everything worked fine before an update in the last 2-6 weeks but I
have no idea who to solve that problem now.

Is it possible that with the new modular XOrg a package is missing?

Thx a lot for help,
Matthias

It is specifically checking for the "No medium found" message.  To 
be able to do that, the hdparm script should set LC_ALL=C itself.  
Time to report a bug.

Depending on which PC these packets are targeted to you should use
"INPUT" or "FORWARD" chains. If the target is a PC behind the firewall
("FW" from now on) use "FORWARD". If the target is the FW itself use
"INPUT". The rules should look like this:

"iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport microsoft-ds -j DROP" ( < the packets
have destination the FW itself)
"iptables -A FORWARD -d *target-PC* -p tcp --dport microsoft-ds -j DROP"
( < the packets have destination the "target-PC". )

If you omit "-d target-PC" from the second rule your FW will drop every
packet with destination port="microsoft-ds" and IP address different
from the IP address of the FW itself. Keep in mind that these rules may
not be matched if the packets match other rules you have added previously.

I guess I misread it then.  It is common for someone to not put the file
system root uses in the kernel though.  Me, I don't use modules at all. 
The only module I have is nvidia.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Scheme interpreter with readline support?

2006-08-18 Thread darren kirby

Hello all,

I have been searching for a scheme interpreter that has readline support (at 
least I think it is readline support) whereby I could have a sort of 
expression history where I could use the up arrow or whatever for access to 
previous expressions and also use the left arrow to edit the current 
expression if I make a boo-boo. Sort of like the embedded python interpreter 
or Ruby's irb...

I have tried mzscheme, chicken, and guile so far, and none seem to have this. 
I am also aware of environments such as drscheme, but I really just want a 
simple console interpreter.

I thought I would ask here rather than installing and trying all ~25 
interpreters in dev-scheme

Thanks,
-d

it starts in default runlevel, but i think with the new baselayout it
starts ealier then before.

Hmm, possible.  I just noticed that it has a "before bootmisc"
dependancy, so it is going to start very early on.  In fact, bootmisc
is considered a "CRITICAL_SERVICE" by /sbin/rc, so that means hdparm
is going to start at the same time as filesystems are mounted and
modules are loaded.  I don't know if previous versions of hdparm had
this same thing or not.

I think you can either file a bug about the dependancy on bootmisc
that causes hdparm to start too early, hack the init script yourself
to remove it, or reconfigure your kernel to include the drivers for
your CD-ROMs statically, not as modules.

[gentoo-user] XDM / GDM hangs when logging in.

2006-08-18 Thread Samuel Baldwin

I've recently installed GDM, XDM, and Fluxbox on a new Gentoo machine. When I boot to XDM, and login as root, everything is fine and dandy, with a nice Fluxbox desktop. When I login as my user, it just hangs on a black screen (which xdm used to do when it was pointing to a wm that didn't exist). CAD, CAB, and CAF1 do nothing, and I'm forced to reboot via the power button. I do not know why it is doing this (perhaps bad permissions for fluxbox?), and I would prefer not to do everything as root. 
On the side, is it possible to customize the appearance of XDM (I know I can for GDM)?-- Samuel (shardz)Noha+Shardz Productions: nsproductions.co.nr

What ever file system you use for /boot and for / must be included IN
the kernel, not as modules.  It has to be able to read it for it to load
the modules.

Well, I think so... is not a SCSI drive or similar. It is just an IDE hard

Anyway it doesn't matter I've re-formatted with:

My problem is the second one, it is a pdf A4 file and I want to print in
letter format.
I've tried pdf2html but all it does it generate png image (fuzzy image)
Though, I had a very good result by opening a PDF file with Gimp and
printing it (very clear image).

The simple way is to open it in something that can print to PDF (like
KPDF), and do a print-to-pdf and change the paper size.

However, this just scales each page to fit.  If you want to
re-paginate the PDF, there is no clean way that I know of.  You
basically have to do something like pdf2html to get the content out,
and then use something like openoffice/koffice to format it like you

Well you can start with "udevcontrol log_priority=debug".  That should
cause udev to output debug information to /var/log/messages.  What you
are looking for is a sequence of messages in the form of:

udev_done: seq 3110, pid [8009] exit with 1, 0 seconds old
udev_event_run: seq 3111 forked, pid [8024], 'add' 'scsi_disk', 0 seconds old
udev_event_run: seq 3112 forked, pid [8025], 'add' 'block', 0 seconds old
udev_event_run: seq 3115 forked, pid [8026], 'add' 'scsi_device', 0 seconds old
udev_event_run: seq 3116 forked, pid [8027], 'add' 'scsi_generic', 0 seconds old
run_program: '/sbin/modprobe '
udev_rules_get_name: reset symlink list
udev_rules_get_name: add symlink 'sdb'
udev_rules_get_name: rule applied, 'sdb' becomes 'usbkey'
...

The "udev_rules_get_name" parts would be the most interesting.

Other than that, the only other thing I might suggest is try a newer
kernel version.

Not sure what you mean above.  Is incoming being passed in from smtp
or what?

Please explain a little bit more about what you are trying to
accomplish.

You can invoke INCLUDERC from your .procmailrc that would contain
special stuff for a specific mailbox or several mailboxes.

My guess is your need is simpler and can be addressed with a simpler
approach but first we must here what you are trying to accomplish.

So you can set CD's, pata and sata drives separately.  So you are correct.

BINGO!!! This resolved it indeed :) Many many thanks for your constructive post 
Benno! I would never had thought on that!
The funny thing is that I was already searching in my ~/.slrnrc for any
faults and found the leading space in {followup,reply}_string and
removed it becaused I didn't like it. So I fixed it without knowing ;-)

I apologize to all the people who got bothered by headers in the body in my

Sylpheed-claws has a 'vcalendar' plugin which reports to be compatible

Yes, I've always performed the etc-update after upgrading udev. The
only line in 10-local is the following:

---/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules---
KERNEL=="js*",  NAME="input/%k", MODE="664", SYMLINK+="%k"
end file--

which is to make joysticks work under wine. 

The thing is, I compared the rules (50-udev.rules) between three
versions of udev, and to my eyes, the rules for sd* and sg* are
virtually identical for these versions:
  1) udev-068-r1, which works on my desktop.
  2) udev-087-r1, the one that was giving me woes
  3) udev-094, one that is running on my ~x86 laptop and also works

So I am not quite sure whether it is a rules problem or a problem on
how udev handles the events. Is there a way to check that?

Remove /var/cache/man (I don't have it anymore, so I am not really sure that 
this is the name) but it is the cause of the multiple entries.
Note that you will still have double entries for some pages, as they are POSIX

[gentoo-user] inotify problem

2006-08-18 Thread Marco Costa


Hi.

I am trying to use inotify but something is not correct.
I am using gentoo 2006.0.
kernel:  2.6.17-gentoo-r4
 inotify is compiled in.
glibc 2.3.6-r4

What happens:
I initialize inotify, it returns the file descriptor (fd). OK
I add a directory to watch with all flags. It returns the watch descriptor 
(wd). OK
I read (blocking) the fd. It blocks. OK
-> I touch a file inside the directory I am watching
the read unblocks, but it really returns 0 bytes read and do not block anymore.

Thanks in advance for any clue.

Marco

The code is as follows:

#include 
#include 
#include 

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
 int fd = syscall(__NR_inotify_init); 
 int wd = syscall(__NR_inotify_add_watch, fd, "/invalid", IN_ALL_EVENTS );

 struct inotify_event ev;
 char *filename;
 uint32_t  maxsize = 1024;
 int br=0;
 filename = (char *) malloc( maxsize * sizeof(char) );
 if ( ! filename )
 {
   puts("Could not allocate 1024 chars. Kill me!");
   exit(1);
 }
 while ( 1 ) 
 {

   do {
 br = read( fd, (void *) &ev, sizeof(struct inotify_event) );
 printf( "Bytes read: %i, sizeof: %i, wd: %i, mask: %X\n", br, sizeof(struct inotify_event), ev.wd, ev.mask ); 
   } while (!br); // I know it is not correct, just to catch the case where br is 0

   if ( ev.len > 0 )
   {
 if ( ev.len > maxsize )
 {
   maxsize = ev.len;
   filename = (char*) realloc( (void*)filename, maxsize * sizeof(char) );
   if ( ! filename )
   {

/usr/local/portage/gnome-extra/evolution-brutus/evolution-brutus-1.1.6.ebuild 
fetch

to test if ebuild could fetch the source. I naively assumed that ebuild
would look at SRC_URI before trying to download the source.
Unfortunately it tried to connect to all possible gentoo mirrors
instead. Can I get ebuild to download from my site without modifying
make.conf?

Thanks,

It is probably a bug at Gentoo: look at the "X-Virus-Scanned: 
amavisd-new at gentoo.org" header that is inserted in Stefan's 
slrn-messages at a correct place.  But after that the other extra 
headers get misplaced.  Maybe this bug is being triggered by the 
first line of Stefan's slrn-messages starting with a space?  As 
such a space normally means "continuation of previous line".
Could you try adapting the attribution line of slrn to not start 
with a space, Stefan?

> Still want to blame me that I'm messed up my slrn config?

Sorry, but I don't think Alexander suggested that anything was wrong 
with your config, Stefan, just with slrn itself.

Ehm... 'whatis' is not 'whereis'.  But leaving that aside, have a 
look at your MANPATH: echo $MANPATH.  If it contains repeated 
entries, you may have to clean up /etc/env.d a bit: cd /etv/env.d/ 
and grep MANPATH *, prune the identical repetitions, then run 
env-update, re-login and run makewhatis.

Also have a look at /etc/man.conf.  The NOAUTOPATH keyword is 
probably needed.  Check with:

[gentoo-user] using procmail to store mail in some box

2006-08-18 Thread Enrico Weigelt


Hi folks,


I'd like to use procmail to store mails (coming from stdin) 
into an certain mailbox (mbox) given by commandline. Does 
anyone know how I could do that ?

The manpage only states how to use an different config file,
but this would require one extra configfile per target box.

2006/8/17, Daniel Pielmeier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hi all,

it seems that the configuration of /etc/conf.d/hdparm has changed.

With the new baselayout i only get my harddiscs configured by the hdparm
init-script, but not my dvdrom-devices

starting the hdparm init-script gives me:

/etc/init.d/hdparm start
* Running hdparm on /dev/hda ... [ ok ]
* Running hdparm on /dev/hdb ... [ ok ]

here are my settings from /etc/conf.d/hdparm

hda_args="-A1 -X70 -d1 -u1 -m16 -a64"
hdb_args="-A1 -X69 -d1 -u1 -m16 -a64"
hdc_args="-d1 -u1 -a256 -E8"
hdd_args="$hdc_args"

Does anybody know how i have to change my configuration? Or is this a
problem with the new baselayout?

Thanks

You are very helpful indeed - I begin to understand ... ;-)

Some further testing revealed that I can send posts & followups to 
gmane.test without a glitch - the bodies look normal without headers in 
it. You can check that yourself here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.test/3138/focus=3138

Only if I post to gmane.linux.gentoo.amd64 or gmane.linux.gentoo.user 
the problem with the headers in the body appears :( 

Still want to blame me that I'm messed up my slrn config? Please stop 
that until the contrary is proved ... I really do my best to find out 
how I can stop this annoying problem!

But this thread is about setting the domain name initially. This is
something which desktop users want to do and the suggestion was that
/etc/conf.d/net is the correct place to set (as well as change on a

Ok - I'm using mutt now and hopefully can avoid the annoying headers in 
the body ...

I was looking a bit deeper in the case and still suspect news.gmane.org 

Ok - I'm using mutt now and hopefully can avoid the annoying headers in 
the body ...

I was looking a bit deeper in the case and still suspect news.gmane.org 
since posts to other newsgroups like alt.os.linux.gentoo with the *same*
user agent (slrn/0.9.8.1) and the *same* settings don't move any headers 
into the body.

I'll try to address that again at gmane.discuss but the responsible guys 
there are not very responsive since I already made a note there and got 
no reaction at all :-/

The best way to do this is to use emerge to tell you exactly what
sources it wants to download, get this info into a file then use wget on
a different machine to read this file and  download the sources: 

emerge -pvf world 2>&1 > emerge.txt

gives a list of files to be downloaded. Bash this file into shape with
something like

cat emerge.txt | cut -f1 -d' ' |  grep -e '^http://' | sort |  \
uniq > emerge1.txt

Use wget on the other machine to do the downloads:

wget -c -i emerge1.txt

copy these downloads to /usr/portage/distfiles on the gentoo machine and
run

emerge -avuND world

It might even succeed! I do this, as the company pipe is only 512k and
it's maxed out during office hours. To be polite to everyone else I
download after hours using the above and a neat cron job. It's more work
for me, but hey, at least I get to keep my friends at work :-)

My guess is that it's (partly) due to the following definitions in
/etc/man.conf:

MANPATH /usr/share/man
MANPATH /usr/local/share/man
MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man
MANPATH /usr/local/man
MANPATH /usr/man

...because /usr/man is a symlink to /usr/share/man, and at least on some
machines /usr/X11R6 is a symlink to /usr. I haven't tried removing the
"duplicates" though. The MANPATH_MAP possibly also have an influence.

On my system, he's "avoiding" the filters, as his messages don't have
a *HEADER* List-Id. And it's this header, on which I filter. Maybe you
do the same?

Does the route command show a default (0.0.0.0) route?  Is it pointed

What crashed was probably the evolution-exchange plugin, not Evolution
as such. 

I think you should try the alternative Exchange plugin, evolution-brutus
(e-b). e-b will connect you to Exchange 5.5 and never and are using
MAPI, not WebDAV which are used by OWA and evolution-exchange.

Read the initial announcement to the evolution-hackers list for the
technical details or go to omesc.com for the downloads:
