Look in the Postfix logfile (or syslog if Postfix isn't set to use its
own log). Is there any mention of connection attempts from Portage? If
not, the fault is with Portage. Otherwise, you should be able to see
whether the mail was accepted and where, if anywhere, it was delivered.

I just noticed that though.  It didn't do that a few months ago.  It
would always come up with a empty folder and just sit there.  I still
use gtkam though.  I can rename the file names as they are downloaded
with it.  Be nice if KDE would let you do that the same way.

You can also try to add the following to your /etc/conf.d/net:

dhcpcd_eth0=( "-l 3600" )

together with any previous flags you are using. With this, dhcpcd will 
recommend a lease time of

I decided to emerge dhcpcd again to see what I get. It reports an error
at the end of the compilation.

* QA Notice: USE Flag 'kernel_linux' not in IUSE for
net-misc/dhcpcd-2.0.5-r1

However it completes OK and seems to work OK other than having to

[gentoo-user] NFS vs. jumbo frames

[Matthias Bethke]

I've been fiddling with this for some days and can't but assume it's a
bug in one of the Gentoo patches to either the kernel or NFS tools:
Basically, NFS locking breaks as soon as I enable jumbo frames on both
server and client.
  touch foobar
  flock foobar ls
works fine in my NFS-mounted home with an MTU of 1500. An MTU of 9000 is
great for general net throughput so I wanted to use it on both the
server and the clients, but the above sequence hangs indefinitely when I
try. I'm aware flock() isn't supposed to work correctly with NFS anyway,
but all kinds of stuff depends on it at least pretending to.
The strange thing is, SuSE 10.1 as a client works fine with jumbo
frames, just my Gentoo box doesn't. I tried enabling nfs_debug with
sysctl and sniffing the wire with tcpdump and wireshark but with my
pretty basic knowledge of NFS workings I didn't spot anything
conspicuous other than that
  lookup(msbethke/foobar)
  nfs_update_inode(0:18/3424742 ct=1 info=0x6)
  nfs_fhget(0:18/1081970 ct=1)
  permission(0:18/1081970), mask=0x4, res=0 
seems to be the exchange after which the hang occurs.
Our server is running 2.6.18-hardened-r6 and nfs-utils-1.0.12. The
clients are mostly SuSE 10.1 boxes with kernel 2.6.16.21-0.21-smp and
nfs-utils-1.0.7-36 while my workstation has 2.6.20-gentoo-r6 (was
linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 before) and the same ns-utils as the server.

The following steps were successful (for me)

echo "app-emulation/virtualbox-bin additions dvitool" >> \

create the virtual machine (WinXP in my case) as described

I have a similar camera as yourself and don't think I've had this problem
before.
Can you make sure that the camera is actually connected, and switched on
(light is on) while running the "gphoto2 -P" command?
I find that there is a limited amount of time available from turning on
the camera to being able to download the pictures.

Also, can you make sure that libgphoto2 is compiled with USB support:
"gphoto2 -v"

You should see something like:

Your versions will likely be different but I would be able to test with a

But the thing you want to make sure you have is the "USB" part.

If none of this gives any indication, could you run the "gphoto2" command

Or, if this doesn't work, with:

And let me know if there are any further error messages in the logfile.

It sounds like Gigabit Ethernet to me.


Keep in mind that not all fastE or gigE switches support jumbo frames. 
Additionally not all cards support jumbo frames either though you can 
certainly set them to an MTU of 9000 and watch things break.


To the original poster, I'd do some googling and verify that all the 
network cards and switches involved can do jumbo frames and that it is 
enabled on each device as needed.

Does NFS have any negotiations to determine if jumbo frames can work
between 2 system, then use a smaller mtu if a larger (jumbo) mtu
is not suppported between devices?

Don't stare at NFS.  It's too high a layer in the TCP/IP stack.  And yes, it 
can deal with large packets. You can use NFS with localhost (127.0.0.1), 
right? That one usually has an MTU of 16,436.

The real issues with MTUs occur at layer 2 (ethernet or whatever you are 
using), IP (fragmentation and de-fragmentation) and ICMP (MTU discovery).

I know I had to download it from Sun's website but other than that, I
just installed what it said I needed.  I think I tried Blackdown or
something like that a long time ago.  It had a bug and someone told me
to use those above and it has worked fine until now.

It still does it though.  Sort of strange and a pest.  I can't even read

Any ideas?

Some cards do support jumbo frames, but up to values lower than 9000, 
for example I set up a NFS over a gbit link with jumbo frames with an 
MTU of 7200 because this was the lower common.

Based on my experience I would add to verify also the upper MTU value 
really supported.

[gentoo-user] Kernel config when a symbol has disappeared

[Iván Pérez Domínguez]

I'm currently using kernel 2.6.13. I tried to download newer versions,
but using the same configuration leads to many warnings that claim that
some symbols my .config talks about do not exist anymore.

What can I do to find what should be changed? I tried reviewing the
kernel documentation, but couldn't find anything about it, and my new
kernels can't get through the whole boot process all times (most of the
times, they just hang the computer after detecting the input devices).

Any clues?

[gentoo-user] System hangs when requesting dhcp on wireless card

[Iván Pérez Domínguez]

I'm coming with a very strange problem here:

My systems freezes completely when I try to get an IP address using
dhcp. I have an ipw2200, and it used to work perfectly.

The main problem in these kind of situations is that there's nothing
I can do to check what failed. Any ideas on what to do?

Cheers,
Ivan

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel config when a symbol has disappeared

[Fabio Correa]

Right after copying the .config file, run make oldconfig. This will
parse the .config file again, and will ask you whether activate new
available options. Run make menuconfig on another terminal to check
the help on the new options!!

Good luck,

I have used Googleearth before but not since this started.  My dial-up
is very slow so it takes forever.  I have went and took a shower while
it was loading.  :-(

Isn't there still a blackdown java out there?  Think it would be worth
waiting on and installing?  By waiting on, I mean the time to download it.

I'm open to ideas here.

Thanks

When make oldconfig prompts you with a new option, you can press ? for
help.

NO,

I found them, but, I'm not sure how to install a tar.gz file on gentoo,
and have it as part of the regularly maintained files. This is very likely the
problem. I never thoght that something like that would not be part
of the ebuild, as flash just works as part of the firefox ebuild.

I'll give this a whirl and see if any additional errors are given.

It just says:



No running windows found

and everything works as it does launching from the KDE menu system.

Hi,
Try the following:
#emerge =kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.6-r5 -aC
will ask for confirmation to unmerge.
The old kde-env ebuild must be in VDB (/var/db/pkg/...)

[gentoo-user] Cannot configure Synaptics Touchpad - Disabling Tapping & synclient

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello.

I'm having a hell of a time configuring my Synaptics Touchpad. Basically,
I'd like to disable the annoying "tapping" feature; with tapping, they 
mean, that the user shortly "hits" (taps) the touchpad and this is then
interpreted as a click. This annoys the hell out of me, as I accidently
tap the touchpad when I type something and as a result, I continue to 
type at the wrong location. Anyway, enough of the whining - I'd like to
disable tapping...

On various places on the internet, like 
http://linux-on-laptops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112
or http://copland.udel.edu/~doke/dell_d810/, I found, that it should be
good enough, to add

Option  "MaxTapTime""0"

to the Section "InputDevice" in the xorg.conf file. As you can see in
my xorg.conf file at , I did that.
Nonetheless, I'm sadly still able to use that annoying tapping feature :(

As this did not work, I tried to use graphical configuration tools
like gsynaptics, ksynaptics or synclient to access the touchpad. All
of these tools require, that

Option  "SHMConfig" "on"

is added to the xorg.conf. Instead of "on", I also tried "true", "1"
and "yes". None of these work - all the time, when I run one of the
aforementioned tools, I get an error message, stating something reg.
SHMConfig. For synclient, it is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ synclient -m 20
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?

I'm using on ~x86:

Is anyone able to configure a Synaptics Touchpad? If so, any idea

Thanks,
