Re: [gentoo-user] portage blockage gnome-control-center vs gnome-media
It's installing Gnome 3 stuff. Is that what you want? Look at your unmasking rules.

I saw CUPS documentation and it is written that printers supporting Epson ESC/P command set are supported on Linux. http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html#EPSON9 I'd like to know if anybody is using this printer here on this list or, does it require some hardware switch changes, etc (like jumper settings) to make the printer comply to particular command set? I'm buying a dot matrix printer for the first time, please help. It's urgent. Don't know. Don't have one.

[gentoo-user] texlive-2011 upgrade headsup
Hi list, Just a minor glitch I ran into in upgrading texlive-2010 to texlive-2011, I am not sure how reproducible this is, so I am posting it here instead of filing a bug, just in case someone else runs into the same problem. It is likely that this problem won't occur at all for those not using the cjk option. Problem: When issuing 'emerge --update texlive', the emerge chokes on the package 'dev-texlive/texlive-latex'. Checking the logs reveal that during compile it tries to load 'loadhyphen-zh-latn.tex' which does not exist on the system. Solution: 'emerge --oneshot texlive-langcjk' first. One of the config file updates with the 2011 version of that package changes the filename to load to 'loadhypher-zh-latn-pinyin.tex', which does exist on the system. Cheers, W -- Willie W.

[gentoo-user] USE-flags and CFLAGS of stage3?
Does anyone know what are the USE-flags and CFLAGS used for the current stage3?
The reason I'm asking is that I keep finding myself having to upgrade
glibc and gcc when I install a new Gentoo system, so I want to save
some time by doing a 'pre-upgrade' of glibc, gcc, and libtool. Then
I'm going to tarball the result in a custom stage3 ('stage3.1', if you
wish), and use this as the starting point for future Gentoo boxen.
Rgds,

Re: [gentoo-user] Assigning an IP in AP mode
I've added 'INTERFACES=wlan0' to /etc/conf.d/hostapd, created the /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 link, and added the following to /etc/conf.d/net: modules_wlan0=( !iwconfig !wpa_supplicant ) config_wlan0=192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 When I start hostapd it tries to start net.wlan0 but I get WARNING: net.wlan0 has started, but is inactive and hostapd won't start. If I don't add the INTERFACES line and start hostapd and then net.wlan0, hostapd starts but has no IP address and net.wlan0 gives me the same inactive error. I have the link inactive message (warning != error) on my client system, then it associates so the link becomes active, and then dhcp's. I dont get that message on my AP machine tho, but dmesg has wlan0: link is not ready I have net.wlan0 started by init, not by hostapd, not sure if that makes a difference. What message does hostapd report? AFAIK, it shouldn't care about wlan0 not having link. I know I've had this working several times before but I always have a hard time remembering how I did it. I've definitely never disabled iwconfig and wpa_supplicant before. That's from here; http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Wireless/libnl_Access_Point

I dont get that message on my AP machine tho, but dmesg has wlan0: link is not ready Yeah the inactive warning isn't very informative. I get that message all the time when starting an interface in managed mode. I have net.wlan0 started by init, not by hostapd, not sure if that makes a difference. You start net.wlan0 in master mode with /etc/init.d/net.wlan0? If so, do you have a PSK? What message does hostapd report? AFAIK, it shouldn't care about wlan0 not having link. hostapd doesn't report any error and I don't think it should. Everything works fine as soon as I 'ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.1' but I know there's a way to assign that IP automatically, I've just forgotten what it is. My description above is the trouble I run into when I try to set up that automatic IP assignment. As long as I issue ifconfig manually, everything works fine.

No - master mode comes with hostapd. It just gets started. hostapd doesn't report any error and I don't think it should.

Just let net.wlan0 bring the interface up and configure the IP for you.
