[gentoo-user] No network
So I rebuilt my kernel with r8169 for network NIC and rtl8723be for Wi-fi NIC, however I can't connect to internet. I think the problem here with interfaces, but could be something else, have no clue. I remember when I installed openSuse, it listed my interfaces like "SP0_something" instead of eth0. But I followed gentoo install doc and configured it with eth0. Can it be that problem lays somewhere here? And how to get the list of interfaces on my machine? Thanks -- German

I've had mine since 2010 and I've never had that package installed (media-libs/libhdhomerun). MythTV detected and used it without complaints. Or is it required for other programs?

Rather than try to remember everything, let the computer do some of
the work for you (novel idea ). Use the command...
xargs -a /var/lib/portage/world -n 1 equery d
to determine which files would be pulled in as dependancies.
***WARNING: DO NOT REDIRECT OR PIPE***. It won't work. Use a 2nd term
for the output, along with {CTRL-S} and {CTRL-Q} to stop and restart the
output. You'l have to run the command with root privileges to see the
file /var/lib/portage/world Here's how it starts off for me...
[d531][root][~] xargs -a /var/lib/portage/world -n 1 equery d
* These packages depend on app-admin/localepurge:
* These packages depend on app-admin/logrotate:
* These packages depend on app-admin/sudo:
* These packages depend on app-admin/syslog-ng:
* These packages depend on app-arch/zip:
sys-devel/gcc-4.8.3 (app-arch/zip)
www-client/seamonkey-2.32 (app-arch/zip)
There are no ebuilds depending on localepurge, logrotate, sudo, or
syslog-ng. It's up to you whether or not you want them. However, zip
is an absolute dependancy of gcc and seamonkey, and can be removed from
my world file. Absolute dependancies are easy. *BEWARE OF CONDITIONAL
DEPENDANCIES*; e.g.
* These packages depend on dev-perl/File-MimeInfo:
x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.1.0_rc2 (perl ? dev-perl/File-MimeInfo)
That says if you've built x11-misc/xdg-utils-1.1.9_rc2 withe the
"perl" USE flag, then dev-perl/File-MimeInfo will be pulled in as a
dependancy. You have to check whether you've used that USE flag on that
ebuilds.
And a "lib" is not necessarily always a direct dependancy. E.g. my
HDHomerun OTA TV tuner requires the media-libs/libhdhomerun ebuild to be
explicitly installed.

I beg your pardon, I typed too fast. I was referring to net-misc/openconnect, which is an alternative client for Cisco AnyConnect SSL VPN. The net- misc/openswan package is hard masked because of the security bug #499870. You could try net-misc/libreswan instead, a fork of openswan.

My understanding is that as long as you enable the networkmanager plugin in the strongswan package, it will interoperate with the networkmanager front end - but I have not tried it. Reading now the relevant webpage it says that it is *only* available for IKEv2 - so probably not good for your use case. https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/NetworkManager > > The latest version 5.2.2 has a bug with some IKEv1 implementations. > > There is a patch proposed which works and will be included in the next > > version 5.2.3 when released.

Any of > the "strongswan_plugins_*" use flags i have to enable here ? Since its networkmanager plugin is only useful for IKEv2 I don't think it would make any odds. You can enable it anyway and initially try it from the command line (/etc/init.d/ipsec start) to see if it works with the Cisco VPN gateway. If it does, then try it with the networkmanager front end, but I don't expect this to work. If a GUI is a must for you, libreswan with the net-misc/networkmanager-openswan plugin may be a better bet. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} offline backups
I own a BluRay writer. A few years ago I had a serious attempt at BluRay archival storage. It works - but it's slow (very slow) and expensive. Then there is the cost / GB - that remains high due to the low volume of BD-RE media sales... Now factor in the super high volume of MLC NAND flash SSDs prevalent on today's mass market. A good SSD will last far longer than the slowly degrading dye on a BD-RE disc. Just dust off an Intel SSD every 5 years and to run a level 2 Spinrite scan on it and it could potentially hold data for decades... No optical media could match that...

If I only had 20GB, though, I'd probably use cloud storage. Amazon would only charge $0.20/mo for that on glacier, or not that much more for reduced-redundancy storage (which is cheaper to restore).

For those interested in testing the newest versions of ceph(fs). it has received some updates. Last Night I installed it with 4 new flags a repo: [1] "xmw" /var/lib/layman/xmw. There is talk of version 0.93 (dev version) making it's way into an ebuild very soon. From the chatter of various locations, ceph is reasonable stable and starting to attract crowds of interest, for those folks interested in a Distributed File System. For me, the DFS has been the most challenging area of putting together a gentoo cluster, that support multiple frameworks simultaneously both fine grain and coarse grains types of problems. layman -s xmw sys-cluster/ceph/ceph-0.87.1.ebuild (a major release) sys-cluster/ceph/ceph-0.93.ebuild http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ceph enjoy!

Can't locate them Do as Neil told you and search them with / and lspci -k I have the same NIC as you do: RTL8111/8168/8411. It is under 1 GB ethernet controllers. The module name is r8169. However I've had multiple issues with the in-kernel drivers as windows driver leaves in out-of-spec state when booting. This i only an issue if you multiboot. I would only recommend compiling r8169 as a module. The r8169 is if I remember correctly meat for a different NIC, but will work with 8168. There is another option though and the portage provides ebuilds for it. You can use Realtek provided module which works much better for this buggy NIC. The package is net-misc/r8168. Just emerge that and you are fine :) This matter has been already addressed in the list so you could search the archives. I have grown much hatred toward Realtek during these past few years...

[gentoo-user] How to find all packages which need Python2_7
Hi, I'd like to install all packages which need Python, only for Python3 except those which cannot be installed for Python3. How can I find out which of the packages installed on my machine have PYTHON_TARGETS=python2_7" (only). I could loop over `qlist -IC` do an emerge -vp each grepping for this string. But is there an easier way. Many thanks for a hint, Helmut

You only need the version numbers if you want to restrict loading to particular kernels. However, you shouldn't need to add a network card module to this file, it should be loaded automatically by kernel hotplugging. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 00C: Memory hog error - More Ram needed. More!
