Ugly, uh? :/
Yeah
A number of things, some of which you may know:
1) Don't add net.eth1 to runlevel. The ipw3945 module loading
(/etc/modprobe.conf) runs ipw3945d init script which brings up net.eth1
which is managed by wpa_supplicant. If you try and manage net.eth1
yourself (with rc-update, or with something like ifplugd then things
will get confused). I do have netplug configed for eth* but I think it
knows how to get out of the way of wpa_supplicant.
All you need to do is emerge ipw3945 - no rc-updating needed.
2) If you ever need to restart net.eth1, restart ipw3945d instead.
3) My wpa_supplicant.conf just as comparision:
# Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 :: wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # DO NOT remove this line!
ctrl_interface_group=0 # Only allow root to read config.
ap_scan=1 # Allows wpa_supplicant to handle AP scanning.
# The following configures wpa_supplicant for a WPA

Re: [gentoo-user] Reducing disk usage
Watch this one! I ended up with a seriously broken system after running localepurge - make sure you have your locale sorted out first! But it can save quite a lot of space - pity the system was dead in the water ... reiserfs is more space efficient than other filesystems like ext2/3 (depending on a lot of things ... YMMV) -O3 - saves peanuts overall rm -rf /usr/src/linux* - dangerous, lokk in there first and only remove what you are not using (i.e., leave your current kernel, plus one other "good" version as a backup - the number of times Ive had to roll back ... :) rm -rfv /usr/portage/distfiles - after thinking about if you need to keep these versions, consider if redownloading them wont be a problem (or write them out to DVD/CD etc. There are also a couple of distfile cleaner programs - see the forums. If you have another machine, look into http-replicator - highly recommended. rm -rfv /var/tmp/portage - this can all go - often cruft like crashed OO builds end up here - can be huge. run `du /|sort -rn|less` and see where your biggest files/directories are and see if they can go. In real tight situations, NFS can help by putting /usr/portage/distfiles, /var/tmp/portage, etc on other machines with more diskspace. I have found this to be very flakey at times depending on kernel versions, system loads, etc. Huge builds like OO rarely finished without a crash or two in the build process :) Use the -doc useflag and rebuild - this can save over a GB on a large systems there have been a number of threads over the years on saving space - search the forums.

Re: [gentoo-user] OT - Migrating databases to a new box
Michael Sullivan wrote:
Why bother? User accounts are stored in the db. Just move the whole thing.
/etc/inti.d/mysql stop

And this method will preserve all granted permissions with their
passwords? That would be great!
Moving the entire Mysql database store is very simple. Mysql puts all
data in /var/lib/mysql by default under Gentoo. You can even go in there
and poke around to see all the databases in individual directories.
Assuming you're using Mysql 5.0.26 on both databases with similar
my.conf files you should have no problems just rsync-ing the directory
and then starting Mysql on the new server. You can run into issues with
Innodb if data files are different sizes on each server. That's the
usual gotcha since Gentoo has changed it a few times between releases.
Or you can dump the mysql table and just copy the sql lines that you
care about if you're moving databases individually.
mysqldump -u root -p --skip-opt --databases mysql > mysql-db-20070436.sql
Then cut and paste any access lines from db and user into the new db.
How do I get those?
All passwords, account privileges, etc are stored in the mysql db within
Mysql. Notice the distinction there. All Mysql databases store user,
access, etc in a db called mysql. On disk that would be in
/var/lib/mysql/mysql/ and through command line you can see the data by
doing:
mysql -u root -p
use mysql;
select * from db;
select * from user;
So if you wanted to pull things out without thinking too much you can
just dump the mysql database with all the user accounts out into a text
file and then import only the parts you care about. Here some sample
data from one of my servers.
--
-- Dumping data for table `db`
--
INSERT INTO `db` VALUES
('localhost','sqlgrey','sqlgrey','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','N','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y');
INSERT INTO `db` VALUES
('localhost','postfix','postfixadmin','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N'
);
--
-- Dumping data for table `user`
--
INSERT INTO `user` VALUES
('localhost','sqlgrey','12231231313131231231312313123123131231C','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N
','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','','','','',0,0,0,0);
INSERT INTO `user` VALUES
('localhost','postfixadmin','1312312312312333432423131231312313123131','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N
','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','N','','','','',0,0,0,0);
So in these examples mysql.user defines the user accounts and mysql.db
defines the accounts and what access they are allowed per database. The
big hash is the MD5 password. You can log into your new Mysql instance,
use mysql, and then paste the above lines in to add the some access.
Additionally you can dump just the whole mysql db and import it from
the old db to the new db.
mysqldump -u root -p --databases mysql > mysqldb-20070426.sql
on the new server
mysql -u root -p
drop database mysql;
exit; (do not restart Mysql at this point or you'll be locked out)
mysql -u root -p < mysqldb-20070426.sql
mysql -u root -p
flush privileges; (this will load the new mysql you imported)
exit;

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel hangs after detecting the hard disk
Looks like I've come with a different situation now: I installed Ubuntu in a different partition, it works fine. I took it's kernel's config and tried to recompile gentoo's with it. Things are a little better now, but looks like it cannot find /dev/hda2 (my root partition) nor /dev/sda2. Since no root can be found, it cannot boot, and remains asking for the root password. If I log in, I cannot access my files in any way. I don't know why. On the other hand, I also tried to boot Gentoo using Ubuntu's kernel by setting root=/dev/sda2 (Gentoo's root partition) instead of root=/dev/sda3 (Ubuntu's). It goes perfectly (it even mounts the root partition), but stops after trying to remount proc (it cannot be mounted because it has already been mounted) since it's considered a critical task. Any ideas? Shall I send the new kernel config as well? btw, is there any web site with a huge database with config files or parts of them for different hardware, distributions (if applicable), and kernels? (I already did my homework trying to find it) If not, I think that would be a great idea.

[gentoo-user] why does gentoo's groff haven't chem's module?
Hi, list: Nowaday I try to learn groff's module chem to draw chemical strutrues, I find although gentoo has the latest groff, but it doesn't contain the chem module, so I want to know why? or maybe I make some mistake? Thank you for any advice or indicator. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Anyway, the great feature is it records on a 40Gb hard disk, but the annoying thing is the video files are named in hex: which is in completely the wrong order, so trying to categorise / edit the files becomes a pain, as the more files I have, the further out of place they get! `ls` doesn't sort it like nautilus - it does what I expect and puts it in the right order. so in short, is there any way around this? Can I tell nautilus to stop being "clever"? I had a look in the options, but I can't find it.

This is my configuration in net.
modules=( "wpa_supplicant" )
wpa_supplicant_eth1="-D wext"
wpa_timeout_eth1=60
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 5"
I don't know what "!plug" does.

my /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="x"
psk=""
priority=5
}
I use wpa-psk to make my wlan secure.
I hope I this can help you.
