re-emerge the qt packages in the right order. 
then emerge kdelibs again, then the rest. Stuff like this happens when qt is 
updated after kdelibs is built against it.

I can't get that to work.  I get:

# airmon-ng start wlan0
Interface   Chipset Driver
wlan3   ath5k_pci - [phy0]
wlan0   Ralink 2573 USB rt73usb - [phy1]/usr/sbin/airmon-ng: line 338:

mon0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)

It looks like I'm supposed to have /sys/class/ieee80211/phy1/add_iface
which isn't there.  I've tried with net.wlan0 started and stopped.

Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo mail server

[Tom Brown]

Freakin awesome guys!

Thank you very much for your replies. This is what I got out of it:

1) Gentoo evolves. There are no major upgrades. This is a huge "go with
gentoo" point. I've never seen an operating system that didn't have
issues after a major upgrade. This means an updated system with gentoo,
all the time. No 'reinstall from scratch' every two years. Oh yeah, I've
got software that won't work after a major upgrade.

2) Gentoo requires attention. These are production servers I'm talking
about. What sysadmin doesn't check in their production servers on
regular basis? Yeah, I check in the the debian servers all the time.
That's on top of the automated emails I get reporting on the health of
the system. Ok, I don't have to do anything to them. So, I'll have to be
carefully before doing an update. I don't see that as too much to ask if
I don't have to reinstall from scratch!

Thanks guys!
Tom

 ifconfig eth1 promisc

 But at least tcpdump puts the interface into promiscous mode
 automatically, so there is a chance that wireshark does the same.

Some basic info like emerge --info (or paludis equivilant) would be a good
start, likewise confirming that the build still fails with portage would
also be useful (im not saying anything about paludis before any flamewars
start, just wanting to rule out the package manager as a cause).

It looks like its failing on something to do with webkit maybe, so try
rebuilding webkit first?

Just some ideas to get you started :)

Even rm -fr /usr/portage/packages is safe.

If you want to do it selectively, remove the tbz2 files from ${PKGDIR}/
All then use symlinks (or find) to get rid of the dangling links this
leaves.

Ah... I didn't read closely what the reason for wanting to hold at the
current version was, in the little time I had at that moment I just
threw an answer to the exact question in the title of the mail...
"hold a package at a specific version" ... you're right, though, for
the given reasons they're likely far better off only blocking the
problematic one.

NX is the king... it's about a million times faster than VNC or ssh X
forwarding (or windows RDP).

net-misc/nxserver-freeedition is at the top of my "must have" list.
viewing full-screen images or working with gimp probably won't be a
treat no matter what, but it'd probably be many orders of magnitude
faster than ssh forwarding.

FWIW, have been using that version for about 10 days. Works great here.

Normally, that works unless the greater version is stable or you have
accepted keyword for the greater version in some other place.

[gentoo-user] Disable xterm scroll-to-bottom and auto scrolling

[David Sveningsson]

Hi, I disabled xterm scroll-to-bottom using -si but it is pretty much
useless since the output keeps scrolling anyway. I would like to be able
to scroll freely in the terminal output without any interfering
automatic scrolling. Like Terminal.app in Mac OSX. I've tried reading
the manual and googled a bit but I couldn't find anything. Is it possible?

Most X programs store their bitmaps in the X server - not the program.
You can see this if you look at the memory usage. So lots of data is
transfered if using gimp :)

BTW: If you can use cable instead of wireless, you may have a _much_
better experience, because of the latency that wireless adds.

BTW2: If your bandwidth is really small, you should use VNC instead of
ssh-X - though that's not to nice with image editing :)

gimp run without ssh on the remote machine looks just like gimp run on
the local machine.  It only looks funny over ssh.

Thanks everyone.  I didn't realize it but monitor mode is what I'm

Or, depnending on your driver, you could try:
ifconfig wlan1 down
iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan1 up
airodump-ng wlan0

This is assuming you have the wireless-tools emerged.

I see this sometimes with ssh even when I don't run an X app remotely.
I think it's an ssh thing and my guess is that it's local, not remote.
If I don't hit control C, go to another machine and shell into the
same remote machine my login on that end from the first machine is
gone.

I agree. Going across the net I find -C  to be quite helpful running
something like Firefox.

Note that since I manage the machine at the other end I actually use

ssh -X -Y -C -c blowfish

The -Y seems to let a few more things work. Not a big deal but it's
the way I do it.

I think -c blowfish may be the default but I type is anyway.

Cheers,
Mark

So what do gimp look like when you run it locally on the "remote"
machine (i.e. not using ssh)?

So this only happens with gimp? It may be that gimp doesn't exit
"properly"... I'm just guessing and I don't know why that would be.

Another way is to use airmon-ng from the aircrack-ng package:

[gentoo-user] KDE 4.2: Emerge of ksysguard and ksmserver failed

[Tomas Linhart]

Hello all,

I've decided to try out KDE 4.2. I unmasked all the packages that I
needed, but when I was emerging kde-base/ksysguard I got the following
error:

I didn't see any other error during the merge.

The same error occurred when emerging kde-base/ksmserver.

I tried to re-emerge qt-* packages but the error remains the same.

Does somebody have a idea what could be wrong?

Thanks.

ifconfig eth1 promisc

But at least tcpdump puts the interface into promiscous mode
automatically, so there is a chance that wireshark does the same.

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode monitor

Something like that. Not sure if the Gentoo Way(tm) is different but
that's the command I use in BackTrack live CD

[gentoo-user] wlan0 promiscuous mode

Does anyone know how to put my USB wireless network adapter into

Check the bind-address setting in /etc/my.cnf - if this is 127.0.0.1 
then no other machines will be able to connect to the mysql server. To

Yes, it's Real if you go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/ and click on

I experimented with saving these with mplayer recently, and I believe

The BBC iPlayer now offers radio, too, and I am given to understand  
that its radio shows are in decent (high?) quality MP3 format. You can  
download iPlayer shows using the iplayer-dl script  but I think you need to know the ID number of the show first, which  
you need to get from the iPlayer website. So this may not be so good

If anyone knows of an overlay which tracks iplayer-dl, BTW, please let

That's fixed in the latest PortageXS, which autounmask uses. It now keeps
