[gentoo-user] gentoo wirelesss access point
Can someone point me to a document so I can set up a gentoo laptop with a built in ipw2200 wireless as an access point using wpa ??? I need to use it for a demo of some wireless 802.11 phones. Looking at the conf.d/net file doesnt show what I need to fill out to get a working access point. Or is this best done manually (iwconfig and wpa_supplicant) BillK -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Your drive is 320GB (not 320GiB) That is: 320,000MB; 320,000,000KB; 320,000,000,000B; 320,000,000,000B / 1,073,741,824B/GB = ~298GB You are missing ~20GB unless you have a typo there... :-/ pgpofXFVisjeI.pgp Description: PGP signature

Technically 1 gigabyte is one million bytes, but computers have always used 1GB = 1024kB = 1024*1024B.

What > happened to the rest of the gigs? The rest of it goes in: - filesystem overheads (every filesystem suffers. some more than others. someone else on this list may like to comment more on my lack of knowledge here) - in Linux, a small % of the filesystem is reserved for root - this is so that an unprivileged user (or core dump, or erroneous program) cannot fill the filesystem 100% and stop even root from logging in. I think it's about 3% by default on ext3? (just guessing. It may even default to a fixed number of blocks - not sure). This can be configured when you run mkfs. On such a large drive, you may want to drop this down to 1% or smaller. Try `df -h` and see what it says. See if the difference is really all that great. If so, there may be other reasons you have less than you think... HTH!

"...hunk FAILED..." means: The file to be patched is to different from that one, from which the original patch was made. There is another way: As root edit /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh by hand (I did the same): In the file search for the string "seems to be moved" and then compare the context of that line with the text of the patch: There is one line to be removed and I think four or so to be added. Notging too complicate. Make a backup copy of ltmain.sh before. Make a diff afterwards and compare the output with the patch. If all fails: Mail me privately and we will find a solution.

[gentoo-user] ATI drivers
I have an ATI Radeon 9600 XT driving dual monitors. I had the setup working fine with the ati-driver binary drivers - single desktop spanning the two monitors with xinerama. Dialog boxes appeared in the center of whichever monitor I was on. Maximizing a window maximized it to the monitor, not the full desktop. A few weeks back, an upgrade to the ati-driver package broke the setup. The monitor running on the DVI output quit displaying. When I started X, I'd get the left screen, running on the VGA output. X thought the right screen was there - the mouse would disappear to that side, I could move windows over there, etc. but I had no display. When I first boot up, I get a mirrored text display - the same output on both monitors. After he upgrade to the ati-drivers, I'd get that on initial bootup but once I started X, the right monitor was asleep until I rebooted. Dropping out of X didn't wake it back up. After a bit of fiddling and digging and Googling, I put a line in package.mask to block the new version of ati-drivers, unmerged and re-emerged the package and got my desktop back working just as it should. At some point, however, the blocked packages interfered with other packages and their dependencies. By this time, an even newer version of ati-drivers had come out. I commented out the line in package.mask and allowed ati-drivers to upgrade. I didn't, at that time, restart X and everything continued to work fine. This weekend, I needed to do some other maintenance on the box and had to reboot. I lost my right monitor again. After more fiddling and digging and Googling, I gave up and tried to downgrade ati-drivers again. When I uncommented the line in package.mask, however, I couldn't emerge the package - it told me all versions were masked. Evidently, the old version I was using has been removed. I gave up on ati-drivers, unmerged it and compiled the open source kernel radeon driver. I tried to follow the directions here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Dual_Monitors#With_the_Open_Source_Drivers but they're broken or at least unclear. After a great deal of futzing with my xorg.conf, I have my display largely back. There are two issues remainging, however. First, xinerama doesn't appear to be working, or to be only partially working. It appears to not realize that there are two monitors. Dialog boxes pop up in the middle of the virtual display, meaning half the box is on one screen and half on the other. A maximized windows covers the full display - both screens. I'll paste my xorg.conf in at the bottom of the message. I set the xinerama use flag when I first went to dual monitors with the ati-drivers package several months ago. The currently installed packages are compiled with it enabled. Also, note that I don't particularly care if acceleration is working or not. This is primarily a work machine. The second issue is that several packages seem to think they depend on ati-drivers. I don't believe this is a hard dependency, since I don't think that cdroast, for example, only works on machines with an ATI video card. I've checked and can't find any sort of useflag which might be triggering the issue. But I'm getting this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ddjones # emerge -uDvat world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies - !!!

The root of the problem was that wpa_supplicant.conf moved from /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. My laptop that was connecting to the network didn't have /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf at all so the program must have used /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf instead. The desktop that wasn't connecting to the network had an example file in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf so it wasn't reverting to the old config location.

It seems to me that audacious is functionally equivalent to xmms, down to having the same command-line controls.

I have one question about xmms alternatives: xmms has this remote control feature that I use a lot (I have keys on my "multimedia" keyboard bound to remote controls and also certain voice commands bound to playing and stopping of music), can someone point me to an alternative of xmms that also supports remote controls?

[gentoo-user] Weird mysql problem.
Hi, I am running Gentoo ~amd64 and I recently upgraded MySQL from 5.0.26 to 5.0.26-r1 and things are not working anymore (for example mythtv). After spending a great deal of time looking at logs, changing configuration files (namely, my.cnf), installing and de-installing MySQL, I still cannot get any programs to connect to mysql, including "mysql_secure_installation" which outputs the following error message: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket ''/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'' (2) But, here is the thing, the socket and pid file values in /etc/mysql/my.cnf are set to the following: [client] socket = /tmp/mysqld.sock . . [mysqld] socket = /tmp/mysqld.sock pid-file = /tmp/mysqld.pid And, after re-starting the MySQL process (/etc/init.d/mysql restart) I list the processes and find that the mysqld daemon has indeed been passed the correct configuration values. mysql24056 1 0 11:20 ?00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/my.cnf --basedir=/usr --datadir=/storage/mysql-db --pid-file=/tmp/mysqld.pid --socket=/tmp/mysqld.sock Could someone please help?

Instead I found a patch here http://sources.catmur.co.uk/viewcvs/svn/gentoo/patches/sys-devel/libtool/no-seems-to-be-moved.patch?rev=596&view=markup which seem to try to solce the problem...but also it seems not to be included in the official gentoo distro. How can I prevent these tons of "seems to be moved" messages while compiling "bigger tasks" ? They do slowdown the process. As an example: I did a revdep-rebuild for: net-libs/libsoup-2.2.94 gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.6.2 mail-client/evolution-2.6.2-r1 media-libs/libmp4v2-1.4.1 media-libs/faad2-2.0-r11 [2.0-r3] USE="(-xmms*)" which results in 9100 messages of the described kind. I think, that can be avoided ... especially when it is harmless (== superflous) warning. Kind regards, mcc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Unfortunately it slows down compiling, when compiling each C-file spits a long list of "seems to be moved" messages onto my screen.

Why the sudden death? it death was not sudden. It is dead for years. Last release was two and a half year ago. It devs ceased any developing. It depends on a toolkit, that is dead too. Security problems and other bugs were not patched anymore. No maintainace release, nothing. It is full of bugs (-r16 should have told you, that there are lots of probs), there are lots of open bugs in the gentoo bugzilla that are so old, that they started to have children, saw them grow up, got to school, finish school, marry and have little bug children themselves. In short: it was hardly maintainable anymore and nobody stepped up to do it anyway. And there is a rule about unmaintained packages with dead upstream and working successors: they get killed. Everybody who reads gentoo-dev once in a while knew, that this day would come - and nobody should really be surprised. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] rdesktop can't connect to remote window systems anymore...
Hi, I've setup my new gentoo linux system, mostly as a clone of the other, but with some cleanup. As I need access to windows systems, I've also installed rdesktop. BUT I can't get a connection to any of the windows systems in my office! I always get the error message "ERROR: send: Connection reset by peer" On my OLD gentoo system, I DO get a connection! The use flags for rdesktop are the same on both systems: equery uses rdesktop [ Searching for packages matching rdesktop... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legen : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for net-misc/rdesktop-1.4.1 ] U I - - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too - - ipv6 : Adds support for IP version 6 - - oss : Adds support for OSS (Open Sound System) So - what gives?? One difference: The old system runs w/ linux 2.6.17, the old one w/ 2.6.16. If i run the sniffer tshark on my NEW system, I get packets with TCP CHECKSUM INCORRECT. Might that be the reason for my problems? TIA, Wolfgang -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
