Anyhow I found the problem. It was pulseaudio. I rebuilt it with its udev use flag taken out. This didn't help. Then I rebuilt aqualung without the pulseaudio flag, and now things work.

[gentoo-user] HP PSC 1410 USB
Hi guys, I have a problem with my printer, wich is a HP psc 1410. It is USB, so I plugged in and follow the Gentoo howto: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml But I seems that no thing is detected :( This is my output os lsusb with the printer attached and on: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub I do use other things usb hot plug, like an mp3 and a cell phone, and work fine. So I don't think it is a Kernel misconfiguration. The printer I'm sure it's works, but I don't know if it's was ever installer on a Linux. Any ideas? anybody has expirienced with this printer? I'm kind of stuck... Many thanks in advance. Sebas

[gentoo-user] Bind9 and Samba4 setup nightmare

Doing the above 'echo' will result in kernel invoking mdev when a hotplug event fires; mdev will then act upon the newly-created device node according to the 'recipe' in /etc/mdev.conf, e.g., chown-ing the node, renaming/moving the node, making a symlink, or even triggering a script.

I said this before, but it sounds useful to try to reiterate: * It's probable that service-specific files should not be included in the init system package. * Service-specific init files should probably be part of the distro-localized version of a service-providing package. This doesn't mean modifying binaries, this is part of bootstrapping a service's environment. Call it "deferred installation stages", if you like; things which need to be done for the service to be configured and properly operate. -- :wq

Shouldn't you create the ipip tunnel here first?
Something like:
iptunnel_tun0="mode ipip remote 172.18.0.1 ttl 255" #not sure if local is

- Original Message -
Thanks for the help. It did give me some insight on where to look next, and now
it works perfectly. The problem was in part the ordering I was using, and more
specific, iptunnel_tun0_mode should have been iptunnel_tun0="mode xx". That
would've resulted in the creation of the interface. I've included my final
config for anybody else who may be interested in such a setup:
link_tun0="ipsec0"
iptunnel_tun0_remote="172.18.0.1"
iptunnel_tun0_local="10.0.0.1"
iptunnel_tun0="mode ipip remote ${iptunnel_tun0_remote} local
${iptunnel_tun0_local} dev ${link_tun0}"
mtu_tun0="1500"
config_tun0="172.18.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 172.18.1.255"
dns_servers_tun0="10.0.1.2"
routes_tun0="64.20.39.38/32 via 172.18.1.1
default via 172.18.1.1 table 1 "
rules_tun0="fwmark 1 table 1"
rc_net_tun0_need="ipsec"
preup() {
ip link show dev ${IFACE} 2>/dev/null || return 0
}

My point is that the startup, sanity-checking, and initialization code has to go *SOMEWHERE*. Where do you propose moving it to? This discussion reminds me of an ethnic joke. A bunch of workers had dug out a hole for the basement and foundations where a new house was to be built. The workers ask their foreman what they should do with the pile of dirt they had from digging out the hole for the new house. Their foreman, who is tells them to go dig another hole in the ground and throw the dirt in there. -- Walter Dnes

Where do you propose moving it to? Sure. But there's a difference between moving, e.g. sshd's first-time code into the net-misc/openssh package and moving it into the sshd binary itself. I don't want to sound condescending, but I really don't know how much of this is going to be generally known on this list, and I get the impression that it's unclear... (Also, I'm not an expert on this...) The distribution of software, as I understand it, generally has three groups of people who hold it: 1) Upstream. Generally, upstream will keep their software portable and agnostic, so it can be installed in a variety of places. That's not a requirement, but it's considered polite in the open-source world, and fairly necessary if they want the software to be broadly used. Upstream is expected to know their software well enough to keep it in active development, or at least in current maintenance. 2) Packager. A packager adapts upstream's software so that it fits in and plays nicely with the rest of the software in the system. The packager is expected to have the required understanding of both the software and the target distribution in order to accomplish this. 3) End user. The end user isn't typically expected to have a full understanding of the software or the distribution. He'll run the distribution's package manager to install the software, follow any instructions given for configuration, and apply any domain expertise he has to configure things to conform to site-local needs. What we're talking about with systemd vs openrc, and things like ssh'd first-time initialization is all within the realm of responsibility of the packager. It's a shift in the way the distribution itself works. We're not talking about a scenario where you shunt things upstream, so the whole "your position would have rejected Linux" angle is a red herring. Now, let's look at what an init system does. For each service, it spawns some process, checks a return code, declares either success or failure, and may take some further action based on that success or failure. Why does that spawned process have to be sshd? Why can't it be some shell script which does the one-time checks, and then launches sshd itself? Why does that shell script need to be distributed as part of the init system's package, and not part of the package associated with the service? Having the shell script be part of the package associated with the service keeps bugs related to that script associated with that package. As far as compatibility between init systems is concerned, you can symlink the init system's launch file (e.g. /etc/init.d/some_file) to wherever this shell script is, or you can configure the init system such that it knows where the shell script is. At least, that's the way I see it. Any issue of compatibility between the two can be addressed by the service's package manager, either by adaption via that script, or by expressing an explicit dependency on one init architecture or another. -- :wq
[gentoo-user] Grub2 can't find any commands
Hi all, I'm working on the exciting and challenging task of installing Gentoo on a new Macbook Pro with grub2 and EFI. I've got things booting, but every time grub complains of many missing commands including search, echo, and most surprisingly '['. It also can't find any modules, and in order to get everything to work I had to specify about 10 modules to be built in using grub2-mkimage. This feels a little suboptimal to me, but I can't figure out where various things need to be for grub to find them happily. My partition layout at least is simple since I don't plan on dual booting: /dev/sda1: big root partition using ext4 /dev/sda2: 200MB vfat EFI partition, set to bootable (yes this should be sda1: I didn't know you needed an EFI partition until after I had already made the root partition and started installing things. I was able to add this partition later with gparted) Of course I'm using GPT, not MBR. On /dev/sda2 I've got the grub2 image at /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI as is standard, and I have been mounting /dev/sda2 at /boot/efi. I can put either a grub2 image or a 3.3 kernel with EFI stub support at /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI and it gets detected just fine, so I'm on the right track. I've tried messing with various permutations of the -p parameter to grub2-mkimage, but haven't gotten anywhere. Right now the *.mod and *.lst files from /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/ can be found at both /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi and /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/. Where is it that they actually should be? Thanks, Julian
