[gentoo-user] recommendation for printer/fax/copier/scanner combo
We currently have an HP 7130 that is wearing out and needs replacement. I would appreciate recommendations for a replacement. 1. Good gentoo/linux/cups support (the HP 7130 does fine) 2. Printer, copier, fax, scanner 3. Color 4. Duplex 5. "Network Printer" I would like to plug it into our linksys router (wireless or wired ethernet is OK). The linksys is a wrt54G. 6. Also to be used (again via ethernet) from my wife's windows XP laptop 7. Usage level is light. My wife (windows XP) and I rarely print 50 pages in one day. 8. I have had good luck with HP printers so would prefer an HP (and would pay a little more for that). But this is not a requirement. thanks in advance, allan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] My Snort server -- I Don't know whats wrong -- It seems to go to sleep
Hi folks: Ive been fighting with this problem intermittantly for some time now and its starting to get the better of me. The short summary is the box keeps "going to sleep" on me. It wont respond to ssh or webpage requests till I ping it about 10 times after that it works normally. It's a brand new install, specifically built for snort. I have looked at powersaving in the bios (its all off) there are no options in the bios for making nics sleep (that I can find) It does NOT appear that when it sleeps, I am dropping packets, the packet stream in snort is apparently complete, its just like it gets concentrating on snort so hard it forgets to respond till I poke it a few times, BUT, as demonstrated below, the machine is basically just loafing along. This is getting REALLY annoying and I REALLY needs some help to track it down SYSTEM INFORMATION BELOW I have a pentium 4 workstation that I am using as a snort sniffer / logger.

[gentoo-user] metalog replacement
Hi, I've been using metalog for a long time. I like its way of config where you can set diff dirs for each service in an easy way: Mail : facility = "mail" logdir = "/var/log/mail" But its syntax is not "standard": metalog: Nov 10 12:30:00 [postfix/smtpd] syslog-ng Nov 10 12:58:10 afrodita postfix/pipe[27313] and awstats does not read postfix logs correctly (neither pflogsumm.pl) So, two questions: 1.-) Does anyone know how to change metalog syntax? I asked it to metalog ML, two weeks ago, but I had no reply... Forums are unmaintened... 2.-) What other log service do u recommend? May I create diff dirs for each service with syslog-nd? Thanks in advance. -- Arnau Bria http://blog.emergetux.net Wiggum: Dispara a las ruedas Lou. Lou: eee, es un tanque jefe.

[gentoo-user] [OT] VMware legal question
I apologize for the offtopic, but I think my question and especially its answer would be of interest to other list members. I'm concerned about this because I'll have to do something similar in the near future and I don't want to break any laws. Is it legal to do the following: 1) "emerge vmware-workstation" 2) build some images (within the 30 day trial period) 3) "emerge -C vmware-workstation" (within the 30 day trial period) 4) "emerge vmware-player" and use it to play the images created by vmware-workstation -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild wants to merge gcc over and over again
Hello, this is what revdep-rebuild has to say wrt gcc: broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la (requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la) broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-xml-sax.la (requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la) broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgcjawt.la (requires /usr/lib/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la) broken /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/libgij.la (requires /usr/lib/libgcj.la) but neither /usr/lib/libgcj.la nor /usr/lib/lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.la exist on this machine. For example, unmerging sys-devel/gcc-3.4.6-r1 removes both /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la and /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-xml-sax.la and re-merging it afterwards re-creates both - again with the dependency on /usr/lib/libgcj.la Here is a snippet from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/lib-org-w3c-dom.la: dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libgcj.la -lpthread -ldl -lz -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/i6 86-pc-linux-gnu/../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -lgcc_s -lc' For sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1-r1 the situation is the same. What can be done to get rid of this? Both versions of gcc have the following USE flags set: doc fortran gcj gtk nls objc Regards mks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
