Hi again... 

as there was no response and i did again a lot of googling there really seems 
to exist no way to use a usb fritzcard with a kernel  2.6.x and no one ported 
a driver...

Now i have the problem that i have to use a 20m cable to use an fritzcard pci 
in my main server at least that one seems to work with newer kernels.

 Another challenge is to make dependency resolution parallel

It's a challange but won't solve the problem: On fast processors
portage's speed is not so much a big issue. Moreover, the factor
you can obtain this way is in the (unrealistic) best case at most
the number of cores. Realistically, on a dual core perhaps the
factor 1.3 (and at the price of blocking parallel running applications
correspondingly more).

Hi all



I am doing a new Gentoo installation and I cannot get my network cards to
work. I have two cards



1) eth0 =  Realtek RLTl8111e

2) wlan0 = RaLink RT2561/RT61



Gen Kernel has support for both.



Please advise me as to what steps I can take to fix this?

If you are doing an install, you are probably following the handbook.
The relevant chapter is:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1chap=7

For the folks here to be of much use to you, you'll have to describe
what parts of this process work, what doesn't, and what parts you are
stuck on.

As worded, your question is too vague to answer properly, you haven't
given enough information.

A good start would be the output of lspci, plus a list of which drivers
you enabled in the kernel.

I run gentoo on i3 (double core), c2 (double core), athlon, and pentium3.
Only on athlon and pentium3 the speed is really annoying. So increasing
the speed on the two faster processors by a factor 1.3 by parallelization,
probably even at the cost of slightly decreasing the speed on the
slower processors (perhaps even dramatically if the algorithm then needs
more swap usage which already occurs now with 512MB RAM)
will altogether be perhaps even counterproductive for my use case.

I thought that's what the portage cache does, as far as it can.

True, the cache reflects the state of the tree and not the parts of the
tree a given machine is using, so how big a diff does that give? And
don't forget overlays - they can slow things down immensely as more
often than not there's no cache for them unless the user knows to do it
manually.

Well, AFAIK, portage needs to kind of simulate everything going on in an
ebuild to get the list of dependencies/blockers... If this can be
'pre-simulated' resulting in a simpler to parse 'database' of
dependencies...

[gentoo-user] Tcp Listener

2014-02-03 Thread xarman
I'm interested in making a TCP Listener in C / C++ on Linux to accept
many connections simultaneously. I did a relative search on the Web and
although I am aware of the C language as to a certain extent, I
struggle to find a model program. Essentially, it is the listener of a
server that receives a signal and stores it in a database and do some
other functions. I know how to do the functions but I'm looking for a
way to fix the basic skeleton of listener that will be always active.
I'm not sure if I need multi threading or multi socketing for multi
connections.
If you have any knowledge on the subject or have a simple example or even
some reference in order to work on that, I'd appreciate it.



[gentoo-user] re: ADSL+WiFi modem router possibly compromised

2014-02-03 Thread Alexander Kapshuk
Howdy,

I connect to the Internet via a TP-LINK TD-W8101G Wireles ADSL2+ model
router. It has been set up to acquire IP addresses via DHCP. My
'/etc/resolve.conf' has been getting populated like so from the word go:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from enp4s0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 192.168.1.1
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line

This morning, I discovered that the nameserver IP address in my
'/etc/resolve.conf' had changed:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd from enp4s0
# /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
nameserver 5.45.75.11
# /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line

I contacted my ISP about it. They said the nameserver in question was
not theirs.

The whole thing began to smell fishy.

What I've done so far is, I've reset my router to the default settings
and set it up again.
I've also changed the admin console password, as well as the WiFi access
point password.

As a result, my nameserver IP address has been defined as 192.168.1.1.

Anything else I can do to ensure my system has not been compromised?

Thanks.

Alexander Kapshuk.

  Howdy,
 
  I connect to the Internet via a TP-LINK TD-W8101G Wireles ADSL2+ model
  router. It has been set up to acquire IP addresses via DHCP. My
  '/etc/resolve.conf' has been getting populated like so from the word go:
  cat /etc/resolv.conf
  # Generated by dhcpcd from enp4s0
  # /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
  nameserver 192.168.1.1
  # /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
 
  This morning, I discovered that the nameserver IP address in my
  '/etc/resolve.conf' had changed:
  cat /etc/resolv.conf
  # Generated by dhcpcd from enp4s0
  # /etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line
  nameserver 5.45.75.11
  # /etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line
 
  I contacted my ISP about it. They said the nameserver in question was
  not theirs.
 
  The whole thing began to smell fishy.
 
  What I've done so far is, I've reset my router to the default settings
  and set it up again.
  I've also changed the admin console password, as well as the WiFi access
  point password.
 
  As a result, my nameserver IP address has been defined as 192.168.1.1.
 
  Anything else I can do to ensure my system has not been compromised?

 Google the number 32764 and you'll find a lot of info on a particular
 router bug.  You'll see a link to Steve Gibson's grc.com, where you can
 scan for port 32764 on your router to see if it's listening.



Thanks. I'll look into that.

None of the module versions in that output are in the tree, and current
perl does not have a build USE flag (but used to). Are you running
arch or ~arch?

I suspect you might have disabled some of the newer features of portage,
or make.conf needs some tender lovin' to bring it up to date. It looks
like portage is complaining that the modules you have are not compatible
with the perl it wants to install.

Easiest fix is to unmerge those modules and let a world update bring
them in fresh. If any get missed, and them back manually after the
update finishes.

You could also share your make.conf so folks here can look it over and
see if any modern features are missing. Those modern features DO make
life so much simpler :-)

That is a horrible one to solve :-)

All the usual tools (grep, sed, tr) are line oriented so they will take
one line and replace the CR at the end with something else plus a CR!
i.e. they don't do multi-line search and replace easily. I usually end
up resorting to using a text-editor

But sed can be persuaded to do it, if your really need a programmatic
solution:

I had this problem the other day.

I don't know that it applied to the same package names, but the blocking, the 
:0 slot and the conflics… build parts were the same - I remember them 
distinctly.

All I did was unmerge the affected packages - i.e. dev-perl/PlRPC, 
dev-perl/HTTP-Negotiate c in your case - and then reemerged Perl. Worked like 
a charm.

I think genlop depended on a Perl date module that I removed, and I had to 
remerge it again afterwards. To be sensible you should probably remerge all 4 
of these packages after resolving your conflict.

Emacs will happily let you enter a carriage return into the find/replace

According to your result of the ifconfig -a, your device dirver should

First, the eth0 interface, that is your wired connection, has already
been configured. If it's done automaticly, it should be worked. If it
doesn't work, you should check your network setting and if the cable is
connected in right way.

Second, the wlan0, the wirelesss adpater, maybe you need a wireless
network management application. you can just check the basic
configurations by the command iwconfig and iwlist first, if it's OK,
and your wireless has encryption, you should configrue the
wpa_supplicant correctly or using the NetworkManager to manage your
wirless connection.

Okay thanks, I got network working it was just a cable issue.

thanks for all the help

 According to your result of the ifconfig -a, your device dirver should
 be OK.

 First, the eth0 interface, that is your wired connection, has already
 been configured. If it's done automaticly, it should be worked. If it
 doesn't work, you should check your network setting and if the cable is
 connected in right way.

 Second, the wlan0, the wirelesss adpater, maybe you need a wireless
 network management application. you can just check the basic
 configurations by the command iwconfig and iwlist first, if it's OK,
 and your wireless has encryption, you should configrue the
 wpa_supplicant correctly or using the NetworkManager to manage your
 wirless connection.

Pandu Poluan pa...@poluan.info wrote:
  I was thinking: is it feasible, to precalculate the dependency tree?

 I thought that's what the portage cache does, as far as it can.

 Well, AFAIK, portage needs to kind of simulate everything going on in an
 ebuild to get the list of dependencies/blockers... If this can be
 'pre-simulated' resulting in a simpler to parse 'database' of
 dependencies...

This *is* the portage cache: Execute e.g.
cat /usr/portage/metadata/md5-cache/sys-apps/portage-
You see that DEPEND, RDEPEND, PDEPEND are readily available.
If metadata/md5-cache should not be up-to-date (e.g. if you
use an overlay without that data and without calling egencache),
portage generates a similar cache in /var/cache/edb/dep
(checksums and/or filestamps are used to verify that the
caches are up-to-date - this also takes somewhat time but
not very much and cannot be avoided to guarantee correct behaviour).

I'm interested in aggregating tips, tricks, ebuild suggestions and config

regardless if your system in resource constrained or not. The benefit
is not limited to resource constrained systems.

The idea is when a person ditches KDE (or other bloated environments?)
they can look at a single gentoo-specific document to get a list of
addtional ebuilds and config files to install resulting in but one possible
fast, cool, feature-rich minimal environment. with a mininmal of setup time
and effort.
