[gentoo-user] udev and coldplug blocking each other!
This morning I did my regular emerge --sync and emerge -NDuva world and here's what happens: [blocks B ] =sys-fs/udev-089 (is blocking sys-apps/coldplug-20040920-r1) [blocks B ] sys-apps/coldplug (is blocking sys-fs/udev-103) [ebuild U ] sys-fs/udev-103 [087-r1] USE=(-selinux) 195 kB Normally, I'm not reluctant to solve blocks by unmerging stuff but now I'm unsure what to do.

Re: [gentoo-user] less and colourisation
On Sat, Nov 25, 2006 at 03:06:04AM +0100, Penguin Lover Thomas R?sner squawked: This is for programs having color output you want to pipe to less, not less showing a syntax highlighted file. This is done by the gentoo less filter that automagically unzips README.gz files when viewing them with less, fx. Does ls --color=auto produce colors in your xterm? Is your TERM envvar set to xterm (xterm should do this)? Do you have compared the current /etc/skel files to your user's home; when you create a new user with those files in his home, does xterm/less work for this account as intended? Oh jeez, I completely misunderstood the original post (not to mention that I didn't realize the colourisation is a gentoo specific filter). I just took a look at the filter program 'lesspipe.sh', and boy is it nice! Even extracts mp3info/ogginfo (not that I'd have thought about running less against mp3 or ogg-vorbis files before)! But I don't think the TERM envvar is the issue here (OP should check it in any case). On my rxvt term, I run TERM=insertsomething less somesrcfile if I set the TERM to something that doesn't support color (dumb, or some nonsense term), less (/usr/bin/less, not the lesspipe.sh) would complain that it is not compatible with the -R option (which should be set for all users in /etc/env.d/70less anyway), yet at the same time, it would still send all the ANSI color codes produced by lesspipe.sh as raw to the terminal, and the output still displays as colored. Just checking, in the xterm that doesn't work, what does the following envvars show? LESS (should be -R -M --shift 5 by default) LESSOPEN (|lesspipe.sh %s) LESSCOLOR (should be empty by default) LESSCOLORIZER (ditto) HTH, W -- A grenade thrown into a kitchen in France would result in Linoleum Blownapart.

[gentoo-user] wlan0/ndiswrapper failing after gcc-4 upgrade (and dual Windows boot)
Hi, I've been upgrading a couple of machines. Things are going fairly well but there have been a few problems. This one I need to work out first. 1) My son's machine was rebuilt with gcc-4 following the upgrade guide. Everything went well and it finished up yesterday afternoon. Since I use ndiswrapper on that machine I rebuilt the kernel with gcc-4 and I rebooted with the new kernel and new drivers. Everything worked great including wireless, MythTV frontend, Aqualung, etc. 2) This morning I cold booted and everything worked. I did an eix-sync and had a couple of things to build so I did that. One of them was new a udev package. Coldplug was removed from the machine. 3) I *think* I warm booted at this point and things still worked but I'm not positive on that. However I then booted the machine into Windows to check that it was still there for games, and then warm booted back into Gentoo. At this point wireless was completely gone. I tried cold booting but that didn't help so I don't think running Windows made any real difference. a) /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stays it's stopped. If I try to start wlan0 I'm told it doesn't exist. b) I have the link from net.wlan0 to net.lo. c) I rebuilt ndiswrapper and it loads. ndiswrapper -l tells me that the driver is loaded and the device is present. d) All the basic stuff like route doesn't see the interface, as expected I guess. Where might I look for what's gone wrong? As an aside, the Gentoo kernels remove support for stack size changes so ndiswrapper complains about the kernel when it's emerged. Is there a patch to get an 8K stack size option back again? Why does anyone remove this in the first place instead of just setting it to a sane default?

Before the upgrade and after I was using 1.2-r1. It worked yesterday but fails today. I am currently on the offending machine but using a wired interface with the cable stretched across the house so that I can give real results. Following along in the spirit of your response I don't even see version 1.23 so I've tried installing the newest masked version, even though I expect this failed on your machine: Sector9 ~ # eix -I ndiswrapper * net-wireless/ndiswrapper Available versions: 1.2-r1 1.25 1.26 1.28 1.29 Installed: 1.29 Homepage:http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ Description: Wrapper for using Windows drivers for some wireless cards Sector9 ~ # From dmesg you can see the effects of loading each driver, one at a time - not both together. I'm just posting both below to show the difference in dmesg: ndiswrapper version 1.2 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) or... ndiswrapper version 1.29 loaded (preempt=yes,smp=no) usbcore: registered new driver ndiswrapper (the second message was because there is a new usb USE flag. I turned that off and I then do not get the second message when loading, but the driver still doesn't work for me yet.) They load slightly differently. Maybe part of the problem is the changes in udev and the removal of hotplug and coldplug? Could that be involved? I am now using the newest udev. Maybe that's part of the problem? The newest 1.29 version of the driver shows this when I run ndiswrapper from the command line to install the Windows driver: Sector9 ~ # ndiswrapper -i 802.11g/NetA3AB.inf installing neta3ab ... forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 Sector9 ~ # I don't like those messages. They don't happen with the older version 1.2-r1. After modprobing ndiswrapper dmesg says it's loaded as does lsmod. There are no error messages. However when I try to start the interface it fails: Sector9 ~ # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start * Starting wlan0 * Bringing up wlan0 * 192.168.1.159/24 * network interface wlan0 does not exist * Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) [ !! ] Sector9 ~ # So it seems to be unhappy with the way the driver is working. That said there is no difference in this output for 1.2-r1 and 1.29 From the command line it appears that the newest version of ndiswrapper is suggesting I can now use a Linux driver. I have no idea how to actually do that though. Sector9 ~ # ndiswrapper -l installed drivers: neta3ab driver installed, hardware (168C:001A) present (alternate driver: ath_pci) Sector9 ~ # I do have the ath_pci driver and I can modprobe it successfully: Sector9 ~ # modprobe ath_pci Sector9 ~ # lsmod Module Size Used by SNIP ath_pci72800 0 ath_rate_sample10880 1 ath_pci SNIP ath_hal 189264 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample SNIPSector9 ~ # I don't see any errors in dmesg, or even any messages. Since I cannot get ndiswrapper working how would I go about getting ath_pci to work? Sorry this got so long. Thanks again, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

When doing

a C-file viewed with 'less' is coloured. But when doing
export LESS=-RM --shift 5
not. What is being tripped up where here?
Interesting, that is probably because of the following snip from
lesspipe.sh (the gentoo less filter)
# Only colorize if we know less will handle raw codes
for opt in ${LESS} ; do
if [[ ${opt} == -r || ${opt} == -R ]] ; then
${LESSCOLORIZER} $1
break
fi
done
I would probably consider that a bug worth filing on b.g.o. That
snipplet assumes that options would be specified 1 per dash with no
ganging, which does not fit in the old unix-style paradigm; but it
also completely ignores the gnu-style options given in the man page
(--raw-control-chars and --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS for -r and -R
respectively)

You should approach relationships like chess. And preferably as Deep Blue plays
it, or at least as Kasparov.

Since I cannot get ndiswrapper working how would I go about getting ath_pci to work? What card do you actually have? IMO NDISwrapper is a last resort for cards that have no native support for users who cannot afford a supported card. You should certainly be using madwifi or madwifi-ng (the driver which provides ath_pci, IIRC) if your card supports it. What does `lspic -vt` say? What does `iwconfig` say? Stroller.
