Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel module signature now shown on modinfo
Thanks for the link. It seems that the sign-file utility from the kernel (scripts/sign-file) has been converted to a .c file and somehow it produces a different output. I think if you really want to make sure the module is signed is by doing a hexdump and perhaps strip the signature out and try to load it.

[gentoo-user] Kernel module signature now shown on modinfo
Greetings,
I have enabled module signature verification on my kernel, and it does
seem to be enabled upon boot:

Recent changes in the kernel (at 2.6.21 unless my memory fails me) removed the need for most SATA drivers to use the SCSI layer of the kernel. The result being that many hard drives that were previously addressed as /dev/sda will now be available at /dev/hda. You'll need to change at least /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab to reflect this . Yes, it's a pest because it complicates booting into older kernels. You may not know that GRUB supports editing the boot parameters with the 'E' key, which goes a long way towards easing the pains. I think its preferable to get the SATA driver to handle the device if you can.

Does anyone know how I can get the suspend kernel to assign my hard disk as /dev/sda? I had this problem when I upgraded my kernel a month ago or so. I believe it occurred because the standard ATA driver grew support for my SATA hardware. It was unfortunately probing before the SATA driver and grabbing the device.

Re: [gentoo-user] Why can't kernel-2.6.19-gentoo-r5 see my root partition?

I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.19-gentoo-r6 this morning. I used

zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.6

After it successfully built, I opened up my /boot/grub/grub.conf file in
vim and copied the entry lines for the old kernel I was using
(2.6.18-gentoo-r6 - also created with genkernel) and changed the numbers
to reflect the new kernel on the title, kernel, and initrd lines.
However when I attempt to boot up with the new kernel, it goes through
its usual device checks, and then right when it should say "Booting
initramfs-{}", it says "/dev/sda6 is not a suitable root
device." (or something like that) and offers me either a chance to enter
the root device, or a shell. I asked for the shell. I did ls and saw a
directory structure seemingly similar to my / on my root partition, but
when I did ls /dev I didn't see any sda devices (or an other s* devices
for that matter). What's gone wrong, and what do I do to fix it? Below
is my /boot/grub/grub.conf:
I ran into a similar problem when upgrading. It looked to me like the
SATA device configuration variables had been changed or renamed. This
caused me to lose all my SATA modules when I rebuilt. After I went in
and explicitly added the new SATA drivers into the config the machine
could boot again.
Hope that helps.

(0-33~unstable, 34-66~testing, 67-99~stable) Each new package starts at 50. Whenever a user uses the package, he can then vote on it by giving +1 or -1 (on the website or through portage). As a package gains rating points, more and more users would be inclined to use it. A user could set the minimum stability rating that he wanted for all packages or on a per package basis. After the user does an emerge update, the system would check if an installed package is above the users minimum. If not, the system informs the user of the drop and asks if he wants the package to be removed or not. Only the maintainer would be able to actually modify the package itself. Of course, big status changes would happen soon after a maintainer modifies a package. Questions to think about: 1) Should modifications reset the status of a package to 50? 2) Should a plus/minus vote forward propogate to the packages that depend on it? Eg. if kdelibs gets a -1 vote, should amarok get a -1 vote too? 3) Should the votes backpropagate instead?

[gentoo-user] automatically adding a new user to cdrom group?
Would it be reasonable to request that useradd automatically adds a new user to the cdrom group? For a long time I couldn't figure out why the cdrom didn't work properly in user mode.

I have heard the same thing. I have watched some of them on TV get data
off some unbelievable drives. Some had bent platters, serious
scratches, been formatted a few times etc etc etc, After all that,
they still got enough of what they wanted. They put a chemical on one
and you could see the data with your eyes. It looked like a round bar
code sort of.
Whatever you use, if it does it quickly, it ain't worth the time.
Really erasing something and rewriting data over it takes a bit of
time. That little light should be on a while. I still wouldn't count
on it. Shreading it and putting it in concrete may be a good idea.
Maybe putting it in a MRI machine would help too. I would leave the
room though. O_O

I've been googling around and searching into bugs.gentoo.org. I've also tried some kinds of settings from `man resolv.conf`: currently I'm starting the `dhcpcd` service with '-R -N -Y' params and I've also tried setting 'dhcpcd_eth0' into '/etc/conf.d/net' to 'nodns'.

Re: [gentoo-user] Can't browse WinXP shares from gentoo
Go onto your roommates box and turn administrative tools on the start menu. Then go to Administrative tools, Local Security Policy. From there go to Local Policy - Security Options. In the right view, find Network Access: Sharing and Security for Local Accounts, then change that setting to Classic - local users authenticate as themselves.

Mutt is an amazing mail client, I heartily recommend it. Given that mutt is a console based mail app, the average user seems to be relatively open to hacking the various config options to get it working the way they want it. There's a huge amount of resources out there to help you do so, whether it be other people's .mutt files or mailcaps, or the docs, such as http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-5.html Indeed on gentoo at least, a lot of the work is done for you, the default /etc/mailcap has some lynx entries, and the default mutt config files have the correct auto_view's. So html mail should Just Work (tm). mutt just can't be beat when you get a *lot* of mail. I use it when I ssh to my home machines, but I use it exclusively at work where I receive a lot more mail. Like a good editor, the keybindings and options can be initimidating to learn, but once you have you tend to be much more productive than with gui equivalents. Having said all that, there's nothing I know of in mutt that will convert ascii smileys into little emoticons ;) > > You can see all sorts of obnoxious mail attachments this way, such as > > msword via catdoc, and so forth. > > I was about to say, "Why on earth would you send a Word attachment to a > mailing list?", then I thought about some of the posts I've seen on MLs > this past week-- somebody sent a *10MB* trace log attachment to the Wine > list so I realize that I already know that there are some people so > clueless that they seem almost mad.

True, true. But despite peoples' best efforts to the contrary, as sure as the sun will rise and set, people will still send html mail with msword attachments. Sometimes you're just going to have to suck it up and read it. Luckily with mutt and a couple of mime helpers, you can do so in plain text in one xterm without too much fuss. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Actually most console based mail clients can read html mail without needing X. Not to demean any of the other (excellent) arguments against html mail, but sometimes people do insist on sending it :( So in mutt, you would include the directive: auto_view text/html And have an entry like this in your /etc/mailcap or ~/.mailcap - text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML Text; nametemplate=%s.html You can see all sorts of obnoxious mail attachments this way, such as msword via catdoc, and so forth.

There's probably other (better) ways, but: :!rm $filename :n! The first line tells vim to execute the shell command rm, you have to give it the filename, but that's displayed in the buffer anyway (or you can get it with ^G). The second line tells vim to move to the next file, but to ignore the fact that you have a buffer opened that hasn't been written yet. :p goes to the previous file, if you haven't deleted it. Actually thinking about it, you can do the same thing with less - !rm $filename works too. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I added the USE flag, reemerged kdemultimedia (which wasn't autoemerge when I did emerge -ND world??) and artsd stopped crashing. So I guess, the more USE flags, the marrier. HOnestly though, is there some kind of standard set of flags one should have enabled?

Re: [gentoo-user] "Copying" between hard drives potential newbie question
MBR is probably damaged, hence why it won't boot. I would run grub-install just to be sure. You could also mount your old disk and the new disk, then use cp -R /mnt/olddisk/* /mnt/newdisk/ (putting in the appriopriate mount locations of course) Ben Blount On 9/1/05, John Jolet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thursday 01 September 2005 18:04, Neil Bothwick wrote: > > On Thu, 1 Sep 2005 22:36:59 +0100, Stuart Howard wrote: > > > My question :- > > > > > > I need to "copy" all from hdb to hda what would be the sugested route? > > > > If both drives are the same size > > > > dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/hda bs=4096 > will that get the mbr, or does he still need to do the grub-install step? > -- > John Jolet > Your On-Demand IT Department > 512-762-0729 > www.jolet.net > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Have I missed a step?
Are you trying to run emerge as a user? It can only be run as root
('command not found' often indicates that, assuming that the application
is installed, which in this case we know it is. The command cannot be
found in the user's $PATH-- because and so that the user cannot use it--
but in root's $PATH).
Nope, I tried to create a user, but the adduser command couldn't be
found either. Neither can the find and whereis commands.
Apologies if this is completely obvious, but you did say "newbie"... :-)
After you "select Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6" do you see a lengthy boot process or do you get
a command line instantly?
It occured to me that you could somehow be getting to the grub command line, which has
about a dozen commands... definitely no "emerge", "adduser", etc.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel
Thanks for the thoughts guys... I probably will wind up compiling the kernel again from scratch since I haven't been able to make any headway with this issue. I thought I'd read somewhere that genkernel was working pretty smoothly and saved a lot of hassle, but I guess it isn't all it's cracked up to be. As for your questions, the loss of keyboard and mouse occurs while I'm in X, however, I'm in X most of the time, so that doesn't necessarily mean that much. And after force-quitting X (there's something interesting... ctrl-alt-backspace still works!), I'm generally hosed on the command line too... sometimes I get the wrong characters for keys, sometimes I just get nothing and have to ssh in from another box and reboot. I also did try showkey and I'm pretty sure I was getting weird random keycodes popping out... especially if I typed fast. My hunch is that it's actually something in the PS2 driver and not anything in X or the keymap. thanks again, b Moshe Kaminsky wrote: Hi, I don't really know what's going on. Just wanted to suggest some things: 1. I don't think it has anything to do with the 'Unknown key' messages. This simply means that there are some funny keys on the keyboard that the kernel doesn't recognize. You can check it with the showkey(1) program (but under X) 2. Does it happen also when X is not running, or only under X? 3. Maybe you should try recompiling the kernel, and see if there are any options specific to your keyboard (in menuconfig, you can search for a string by pressing /). Maybe you should grep the kernel docs (/usr/src/linux/Documentation) for your keyboard name.
