 Hi,
 
 I have an Intel 3945 wireless adaptor in my laptop.  I have always used
 the ipw3945 driver in gentoo because I have never had any luck with the
 iwl3945 driver.
 [...]
 Tonight I, again, following the wiki, tried building the iwl3945 driver
 into the kernel, but had no success.  I need to get wireless working
 because I am changing isp's and will not longer be using an ethernet
 connection, but a dsl one.

Have you found out yet what really isn’t working? It could be a number of 
things, but when dealing with kernel drivers “it doesn’t work“ is not enough. 
;-)

 I don't know if it matters, but I am using wireless-extensions as
 opposed to wpa-supplicant because it doesn't seem that wpa-supplicant
 supports the Intel 3945 wireless adaptor.

IWL3945 and wpa_supplicant are working just fine over here. My only difference 
is that I’ve built it as a module. Here’s what I set in the kernel config.

Networking
  [*] Wireless
-*- Wireless extensions
{M} Common routines for IEEE802.11 drivers
M Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
Device drivers
  [*] Network device support
Wireless LAN
  [*] Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11)
M Intel Wireless WiFi
  M Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection (iwl3945)

# lsmod | grep iwl3945:
iwl394580412  0 
iwlcore98076  1 iwl3945
mac80211  142636  2 iwl3945,iwlcore
cfg80211   82108  3 iwl3945,iwlcore,mac80211

IIRC, there’s nothing more to it, really.
I also added suppor for tun/tap and devices and some ppp options because I use 
vpn on my Uni’s network, but I don’t reckon they’re a requisite for wireless. 

Then I grabbed iwl3945-ucode from portage, and that was it, IIRC. Just last 
weekend I rebuilt my system from scratch and it worked right away after I 
installed the ucode, dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant. Then I created the symlink 
net.wlan0 - net.lo in /etc/init.d and added it to the default runleven via 
rc-update. Oh yeah, I had to add the driver module iwl3945 to 
modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6, because it didn’t get loaded (by udev?) at 
boot. Not sure if that is still necessary, but it was at some point in the 
past, obviosly.

Lastly, you need of course a correct wpa config, which is no rocket science 
either. Here’s mine for our WPA2 home network:

network={
ssid=our ssid
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#   group=TKIP
psk=our secret keyphrase
}

To connect, I did:

# wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -iwlan0 
# dhcpcd wlan0 

and I was ready to go (That is from my memory, it may contain typos or similar 
errors).

Open firefox’s about:config. Then add a string value with the name of
network.protocol-handler.app.file
and assign it whatever you like, for example /usr/bin/konqueror or 
/usr/bin/doplhin. Alternatively, once that entry exists, you can also invoke a

[gentoo-user] ATI-drivers versioning system - I'm confused

2010-03-25 Thread Helmut Jarausch

Hi,

would anybody please to kind to explain the x11-drivers/ati-driver
versioning system to me? I'm waiting for a version that supports
Xorg-7.x .

From the bug report
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290739
it looks like version 8.721 supports Xorg-7.x
and would thus be more recent than say 10.2

What's the difference between the 8.x and the 10.x
series?

Many thanks for a hint,

It should be build as a module because the driver needs access to
external firmware, and unless you are using an initrd with the external
firmware built into it, you're best of with a module.

FWIW, I've also been using the iwl3945 for as long as I can remember and
haven't had any issues.

 Helmut.

I can't answer that (as far as I know the devs will only say that it
will appear when it is ready) but I got myself into a pickle with
trying to switch from radeon to fglrx driver, running xorg-server
1.7.6.  It kept going around in circles with blockers and after
subsequent masking and unmasking I couldn't get it to emerge, so I
went back to the radeon driver.  Mind you I did not rebuilt the kernel
at the time and that may be why I was getting 'you can't have these
packages installed at the same time' type of message.

I only wanted to try fglrx, because someone on the Ubuntu forums said
that it stopped their laptop fan from running all the time (mine
starts when the temperature reaches 50C or so and thereafter runs
continuously).

[gentoo-user] KDE4 doesn't heed hal keyboard settings

Hello

I'm not sure how to specify the topic in more detail. Over the last to hours I 
tried to get KDE4 to behave like it did before I rebuilt my system. My goal is 
to have a German layout with dead keys. In the process I've even gotten the 
system to react to the menu key again. But apart from that, for some reason, 
KDE4 won't behave like I want it to.

I say KDE4 because KDE3 apparently works. I know because login with KDM4 
doesn't work at the moment, so I'm using KDM3. There I can input accented 
letters of all sorts (in the username input field). But not in KDM4 and not in 
my KDE4 environment.

I also tried it with and without KDE's own keyboard layout settings, where I 
set up a de layout of default variant (thus with dead keys). But to no avail.

Here's the content of my hal config file:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
deviceinfo version=0.2
  device
match key=info.capabilities contains=input.keyboard
  merge key=input.x11_options.XkbRules type=stringevdev/merge
  merge key=input.x11_options.XkbModel type=stringevdev/merge

  merge key=input.x11_options.XkbLayout type=stringde/merge
  merge key=input.xkb.options 
type=strlistmenu:Multi_key,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp/merge
/match
  /device
/deviceinfo

It worked before[TM], and I have no idea where else to look. Any ideas please?

I think taht KDE4 do not touch your initial keyboard settings (xorg.conf or
hal,...) unless  you change something in its keyboard config
(systemsettings -regionallanguage-keyboard layout )
maybe that you have wrong keyboard set explicitly there?

I have disable keyboard layouts under the layout tab selected,
but I can't say if it really works correctly (keeps the X
configuration defaults) right now, because I can't restart X right now,
and I change between
'setxkbmap -option grp:shifts_toggle sk,us qwerty,'
and a simple 
'setxkbmap us'
with some scripts, because the dual layout confuses some apps like
synergy, x2x, rdesktop, even some vnc clients... 


what happens if you you type setxkbmap de in an terminal (konsole,
xterm,...) after kde starts up?

F-Spot is written in C#.  C# is a CIL-only language, and requires the
Mono runtime to execute.

If you consider F-Spot a real Linux application, then clearly Mono is
used by real Linux applications.  The author of F-Spot, at least,
considered it stable enough to use.

If you don't consider Mono stable, you'll have to use something other
than F-Spot.  Unfortunately I don't know of an application for Linux
that does everything that F-Spot does, except maybe Picasa from Google?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: valgrind showing glibc warnings

2010-03-25 Thread Crístian Viana

I think --gen-suppressions may be a too complicated solution. valgrind
shouldn't find *any* warnings from the libraries of my system at all. either
valgrind is doing something wrong or there's really some errors on glibc. in
every other system I try, valgrind runs fine.

I rebuilt valgrind, but it didn't help.

I'm running amd64, by the way.

[gentoo-user] Image viewer with brightness/contrast adjustments


Hi,

I noticed something today.  I was looking at a image that I took with a 
camera and it was a bit dark.  I think I used Kview in KDE3 and it had a 
option to adjust brightness and contrast.  I can't find that in the KDE4 
Gwenview which I guess replaced the other program I was using.  So, I 
looked in porthole to see what I could find to use instead.  Most of the 
home pages show screen shots and all but I can't tell which ones has a 
easy brightness/contrast adjustment tool.


Does someone here use something that is fast to load, small, will work 
with KDE and adjust brightness/contrast and maybe some other simple 
things?  Right now, I'm using GIMP but it is serious over kill to just 
view a image and tweak a setting or two.   It also takes a while to load 
as well.  I'm looking for something much smaller.


Ideas?  Thanks.

On AMD64 you *must* build glibc with splitdebug in FEATURES.  And I 
think the very latest glibc versions also require splitdebug on x86 too. 
 And after that you must probably rebuild valgrind again :P


After you've built glibc with splitdebug, there should be no more 
warnings in valgrind.

There are always errors everywhere :P  The problem is you shouldn't see 
them since you're only interested in those in your own application.


Anyway, in this case, the error lies in that glibc recently started 
using sse instructions to speed up some string operations on 
intel-compatible CPUs, and Valgrind barks at those unless it has access 
to the debugging symbols.  On other distros this is no issue since they 
make sure not to strip the libraries in question, or provide installable 
*-debug packages.  Gentoo doesn't provide this fine-grained debugging 
support, and you have to build using splitdebug in FEATURES.

Re: [gentoo-user] default user permissions

On Thursday 25 March 2010 10:26:25 Hinko Kocevar wrote:
Hi,

Where is defined what permissions will the newly created folder/file
have by default?

This is done by the umask of the user creating the folder.

Eg. When creating a folder I would like it to have permissions right
after it is created, to void use of chmod/chown afterwards:

drwxrwxr-x 2 hinko users4096 Mar 25 09:23 folder1

while now I get only:
drwxr-xr-x 2 hinko users4096 Mar 25 09:23 folder1

That is group should have 'w' set.

This is a common misunderstanding about permissions and the Unix philosophy
about them, which is:

It's up to the user, not the system, to say what permissions he wants on new
filesystem objects.

Modifing the user's umask is not advised, as this is global. *Every* new file
or dir then ends up with g+w and you probably don't want that.

You need to use Posix ACLs for this, and your file system and kernel must
support them; you configure it per directory. It's all in man pages and on
google - better start reading.

Be warned though: you *will* forget you set this, and *will* wonder in future
why g+w is set in various places. ls gives precious little clue that an ACL
is in place.

I find that in real life, a find -exec chmod in a cron is a better solution

To avoid ACLs and still have group rw rights on some folders for
specific groups, you can make use of the 'user private group' scheme and
the setgid bit: [1].

Gentoo uses this scheme per default, although I think the umask setting
is different (has to be 002 or 007).

What Alan forgot to tell is where to set the umask: /etc/profile. Don't
use too strict settings because these are also applied to system
accounts. This can easily break your system.

I would have to modify the script since it does random too.  If KDE4

on KDE mailing list couldn't find a way either.  I even searched around 
in the config files and maybe changing a USE flag.  Still nothing yet.  
I really think it will be there eventually tho.

I got this installed but this is about like GIMP.  It takes a while to 
load and is somewhat complicated to me, although it looks really nice.  
It took about 30 seconds just to open the brightness/contrast tool.  The 
app took about a minute or two which is about like GIMP.


Anything simpler than this?  The old Kview, I think that was the name, 
opens in just a few seconds and was really easy to use.  It was simple 
and fast.


In case someone else runs up on this, it pulls in a lot of dependencies 
too.  I use kde-meta and it still pulled in several other packages.  If 
you don't like GIMP, this is worth looking into.


I have days where I just want to keep using KDE3.  :/

How about the display command from imagemagick (with use=X)? It's 
smaller than the GIMP, and loads quickly. The interface is a bit clunky, 
but it might do what you want. Just run 'display [file]', click on the 
image to bring up a menu, then do Enhance - Brightness. Or use
