Every ebuild that inherits the eutils.eclass validates the desktop
file of the package to check if it is conform to the specs of
freedesktop.org.
The specs have changed but desktop files created by the ebuild are
generated according to old specs. Also packages that ship there own
desktop file and have not updated them to the current specs will cause
this informational messages.
In your case the desktop file should have a trailing ; at the end of
the Mime key to be compliant to the specs.
There are bugs open for the eutils.eclass to generate valid desktop
files but this only affects the ebuild generated ones not the ones
shipped with the package. It will take some time until the new specs
find there way into all packages but this has nothing to do with the
functionality of the package itself. So don't worry about this.

Daniel

downgraded but this did not help. I had to unmerge and then reemerge
glib to get things working again.
So I think I will leave my fingers from compiz-fusion until it is more
stable or anybody knows a solution to this problems!
This doesn't sound very good :-(
I will wait, too, or does someone here got better results?
The dependcies for libwnck were lowered to the old version yesterday
by the maintainer of compiz. So this does not result in the inclusion
of the many unstable packages i mentioned above.
The other problems may remain, but now it is much easier to play
around with compiz{-fusion} again.

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem using the pppoe plugin
I answer to your last two threads.
OK, thanks to all who responded -- I had to do mtu_ppp0=1492 and then
I had to do the iptables rule. I still wonder why the native package
worked, but not the plugin? Go figure.
It seems that the mtu problem only occurs when you use the kernel module
and the ppp package. So this problem hit you when using the plugin from
ppp and not with rp-pppoe. From [2]: Warning: For people transitioning
from the rp-pppoe package, or for people who hit weird connection
resets, see the MTU section in the Troubleshooting chapter.
plugins_ppp0=(rp-pppoe)
Are you sure this line is correct?
Yep, otherwise it would not work at all, so looks like some
documentation needs to be fixed?
I don't think this is the correct configuration. I recommend you to read
here [1], [2] and the PPP section in net.example. The mtu problem is
explained there too.
Rp-pppoe is depreciated and has been integrated in ppp and I don't think
there is an option like plugins_ppp0=(rp-pppoe). But if you use
plugins_ppp0=(pppoe) the rp-pppoe plugin of the ppp package is used!

Anyone else noticed this found a fix? I also get the same xrandr output. Maybe it is not a problem with the ati or nvidia drivers.

Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg.conf changes and dual screen setup
Sounds like the server doesn't implement RandR version 1.2 What does xrandr -v say. For me it is Server reports RandR version 1.2 If you don't have 1.2 you won't have the --output stuff. Also --on doesn't exist even in 1.2. I found man xrandr helpful. Randr 1.2 was introduced in xorg 7.3 Xrandr -v reports version 1.2 here when i have xorg-server 1.3 (which comes with xorg 7.2) installed, but tv-out is not working! Maybe we have to wait for xorg 7.3 with xorg-server 1.4 to become stable! Unfortunately there are currently no nvidia drivers which are working with xorg 7.4 so we have to wait for a compatible release too. Although there seems to be an -ignoreABI switch for the nvidia drivers so they will work with xorg-server 1.4, but you have o disable the composite extension.

Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg.conf changes and dual screen setup
Since you are describing a TV out it might be your tertiary screen. When I type xrandr with no arguments I get Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1920 x 1920 VGA connected 1600x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 0mm x 0mm 1920x1440 60.0 1600x1200 60.0* 1280x960 60.0 LVDS connected (normal left inverted right) 1680x1050 60.0 + 1024x768 60.0 800x60060.3 640x48059.9 TV disconnected (normal left inverted right) VGA is what I would call the secondary (for me it is an external monitor, I believe it is always the monitor attached via the VGA or DVI output, LVDS is the screen on the laptop. Presumably TV is the signal to drive a TV (I never used mine). I don't know wheather the TV is secondary or tertiary, when i type xrandr with no options i just get the output of my primary monitor, as randr is not supported. I am not exactly sure which output i get as i have no access to my box at the moment, but i will check this. If you type xrandr --output TV --off does it stop driving the TV? That is what the manual suggests will happen. If not than it seems the nvidia driver isn't supporting randr 1.2. Perhaps that was what was meant by wont fix, nvidia bug. I guess a fix for this from nvidia will take ages as usually, is anybody out there who got tv-out working with the opensource driver from xorg with nvidia? Or do we have to wait for nouveau, mabe it does a better job! Regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg.conf changes and dual screen setup
Now my ~/bin/Xinitialize begins #!/bin/sh sleep 2 if xrandr | grep VGA connected ; then xrandr --verbose --output VGA --mode 1600x1200 --output LVDS --off else xrandr --verbose --output VGA --off --output LVDS --mode 1680x1050 fi xset s reset# above seems to blank the screen sleep 3 This sets 1600x1200 and turns off the laptop screen when the ext monitor is in. It sets 1680x1050 and turns off driving the external monitor connector (which may well be a useless step) when there is no ext monitor connected. Thanks for your answer, i will try if i can get it working like this but randr doesn't seem to work on the secondary device.

[gentoo-user] Xorg.conf changes and dual screen setup
Hi, the update to xorg-server-1.3 broke my dual-screen setup. It creates a virtual screen size with the same size of the primary monitor for the second monitor which is my TV. So i can only reach a zone with 800x600 on the second device, even scrolling within the virtual screen is impossible. I want 1280x1024 for the primary and 800x600 for the secondary Monitor which displays the complete desktop on any screen. The Xorg.0.log file does not show any errors which may give some hints. Hi have searched and found that there were changes in the xorg.conf file. But i have found no documentation which describes the changes which have to be made to the configuration file. I have also checked man xorg.conf but haven't found anything mich may cause this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: [gentoo-user] 1st time framebuffer setup
Those are just two different ways for setting up a splash screen; I think gentoo is currently more directed to bootsplash rather than fbsplash. But neither of them is mandatory for framebuffer usage (and framebuffer console). In order to use the framebuffer, you just need to load the relevant module and use fbset or compile the driver into the kernel and pass the right video=... paramenter to the kernel and you're set. Are you sure Gentoo is more directed to bootsplash. I think bootsplash is discontinued and fbsplash has taken over it, as mentioned at the bootsplash wiki.

I also dislike the colorization, but for a more specific reason. Gentoo seems to assume one is using white on black rather than the default black on white in terminal windows. This makes yellow lettering entirely unreadable to me. If I could just change all occurrences of yellow to orange (otherwise not much used) I'd probably not mind so much, but the entire scheme seems to be hard-coded. And I don't like white-on-black even though it's labelled Linux console in Konsole.

Re: [gentoo-user] Nvidia drivers for 8600 GT
Today I bought a graphics card with Nvidia 8600 GT chipset without taking into account that there might be no official nvidia drivers supporting this card yet. There are beta drivers (v. 100.14.03) available on nzone, though, that should get that card working, but there's no ebuild for them in portage. Does an overlay with an ebuild for those drivers exist? If so, where? I don't think that there is an overlay for those drivers. Take a look at this bugs [1][2] which are dealing with the new drivers. Maybe they will be added to the tree soon. You can try to rename the ebuild according to the new version and add it to your overlay, maybe it just works.

Re: [gentoo-user] package.provided
I have x11-wm/beryl-0.2.1 installed on a stable system. One of its dependencies is ~x11-wm/aquamarine-0.2.1 which dies during compilation. This is fine with me because I installed beryl issuing: emerge --resume --skipfirst and it works OK. My problem is that portage wants to pull in aquamarine every time I execute: emerge -DuN world or emerge --depclean. Following the official docs [1] I did echo x11-wm/aquamarine-0.2.1 /etc/portage/profile/package.provided but it doesn't seem to help. I guess you are using heliodor or emerald as window-decorator. You can try to unset the kde use flag for the beryl ebuild which tries to pull in aquamarine. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Thunderbird 2.0 browser fonts are tiny
Since upgrading to Thunderbird 2.0.0.0, the browser font used to display trees (folders, message lists) is tiny, so tiny that (a) I have difficulty reading it, and (b) nothing is rendered in bold. How can I change the size of the fonts in Thunderbird's browser? Go to Edit - Preferences - Go To Tab Display - Go To Tab Formatting - Fonts Encoding Here you can edit your message fonts. You can also specify a minimum font size, which is probably what you want. Im don't no if this works for the account-trees too. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It works because of [1] which means that as long as you are using a profile
that inherit from the base profile (all supported profiles do) you don't need
to add anything to /etc/portage/bashrc.
Functionality wise it is in no way different from putting a case construct

mail-client/evolution | gnome-extra/evolution-data-server )
CFLAGS=-march=k8 -O1 -ggdb -pipe
FEATURES=$FEATURES splitdebug

esac
in /etc/portage/bashrc.
This also means that not all FEATURES set there are going to be respected.
Only the ones that are read in bash code by portage. That does, however,
include splitdebug.

Re: [gentoo-user] Performance problem at writing big files and Multitasking
Hi i am back again! Unfortunately my problem is still bugging me! I will give short overview what i have tried so far. 1. Trying different I/O Scheduler ( cfq anticipatory and deadline) 2. Enabling Low latency kernel and Preemptible kernel 3. Setting 1000 HZ for timer frequency 4. Tried the new kernel 2.6.19-gentoo-r6 and even the testing version 2.6.20-gentoo with core 2 enabled in processor type Nothing seems to help. Hdparm also shows me that my disk has IO_support = 0 (16-bit) set instead of IO_support = 1 (32-bit) I can't set it to 32 bit as hdparm can only display settings for sata disks but not alter it. I tried sdparm and blktool but there seems to be no option for it. As i am using Xfce i installed the diskperf-plugin which monitors disk I/O. The monitoring is divided in disk-read and disk-write. I recognized that every time when reading stops writing starts. So is this staggering of writing to disk normal as the programs have to read data they want to write to disk? On my previous machine i didn't recognize such a behaviour. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It writes about 200MB with about 25MB/s then it halts for about 2-3 seconds and starts again writing data to the disk, after another 200MB it halts again and starts over again and so on. I also recognize the same behavior when i multiplex the video and audio together with mplex. What could cause this problems Also when some one of this tasks is running and i want to do some multitasking, the system reacts very slow on executing other programs. For example if i try to open just an editor by the start menu. The menu seems to be frozen and did not react at once also it took very long for the editor to load. I thought of wrong settings in cflags, or a wrong kernel config maybe the sata-controller or other things which may cause this problems.

maybe the dns_domain setting is wrong i have this in my config but iam not sure if this really sets the domainname you can also try setting this in /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 hostname,domain-name hostname -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] setting system's domain name
sorry it should be 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 hostname.domain-name hostname Hostname and domain-name must have a full stop in between. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
The only last thing I could suggest is running lsof to see what files are being accessed when you start the net.eth1 script. I tried lsof, but is there a possibility to run it constantly or for a specified time to catch the complete progress of the script, like the top command to monitor all files which are used by this process. As far as i can see lsof list only the current processes and the files used and then it stops. a better option would be `emerge --noconfmem package`, which esentially re-does all your conf files. I tried this also but i can't figure out which files could be responsible for this Additionally i tried this, running the init-script and then i applied this find command find / -mount -cmin -1 which lists all the files which status has changed the last minute, but there are no files which could be the reason for the changing if the tables. I don't know if this command does what i want. I think it lists the files which are altered and which are accessed. Am i right here? I used this find command for reinstalling shorewall and setting back the old settings too but without success. This gets a bit frustrating for me now i always have to reset my iptables manually after i start my internet connection. Is it possible that there is no real file causing this trouble? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
Hi all! Thank you very much for trying to help me on this strange things. I hope i didn't have overseen a very simple thing which causes this problem. dale wrote [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # equery files shorewall [ Searching for packages matching shorewall... ] * Contents of net-firewall/shorewall-3.0.8: /etc /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/shorewall /etc/shorewall ... As you can see all paths are containing shorewall, so a simple find would detect all the files and i have nothing of them remaining on my system ian wrote ah yes, I recall the cruft script! Does it exclude any directories? no i have checked that before there is nothing in my lib/findcruft which excludes shorewall from being detected. The only last thing I could suggest is running lsof to see what files are being accessed when you start the net.eth1 script. Thanks, thats a good idea, i will try that. uwe wrote I am using shorewall and it doesn't do it here. I haven't replied in this thread so far because I have not the slightest idea what causes the trouble. Actually I have tried to simulate what Daniel did. Even so, net.eth0 (in my case) doesn't change my iptables rules. Another thing i will try is to reemerge shorewall put my configuration back run shorewall and search for the files which have changed recently. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
I've been holding back on replying for a while now, but I think you should try a simple iptables setup like this one: Excuse me, but my problem is not that my tables are not working, they work very well. I applied forwarding and masquerading, also a basic set of filtering rules which block all access from outside. My problem is that these rules i hqave defined are somehow overwritten by the net init script, with some remaining settings from my previous shorewall configuration. I compared the tables i had with shorewall with my new settings and the one who are changed by the net init script are looking the same settings i had with shorewall for input forward and output. I am sure that i have removed shorewall completely, so i guess shorewall must have altered a file which is used by the init script, so that the old settings are restored everytime i start the net init.script. Does anybody has a clue? Regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
If you really removed shorewall from your runlevel (rc-update del shorewall default) try this: rm /var/lib/iptables/rules-save i have removed shorewall from my runlevels and added iptables Did you do a /etc/init.d/iptables save by any chance? That's the only thing I can think of. the way i have applied my rules is as follows first i load them with my generated script then i invoke /etc/init.d/iptables save and to be sure i do an /etc/init.d/iptables restart iptables -L, iptables -L -t nat, iptables -L -t mangle show me my new rules when i look in /var/lib/iptables/rules-save i also see my new rules when i issue /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart iptables -L, iptables -L -t nat, iptables -L -t mangle show me the old rules from shorewall -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Iptables
How can I install and run iptables (with conntrack and all other modules) in a Gentoo 2006.1 box with kernel generated by genkernel? I tried emerge iptables, but when I type iptables -F I get something like this: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found. iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. Hm, did you start the iptables init-script, i think it loads the necessary modules! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
hmm, shorewall must have done something that's more persistent. Have a look at /etc/runlevels, and make sure there is no shorewall stuff left in there. Also look in /etc/conf.d/net* and make sure there is no postup functions lying around. And make sure /etc/init.d/net.eth1 is a symlink to /etc/init.d/net.lo, and then make sure net.lo hasn't been modified by shorewall. you could do a `emerge --noconfmem baselayout` to make extra sure. **Read the man page first. Is there a /etc/shorewall directory? Perhaps someone who has it installed could do `equery files shorewall` so you could check that it really is deleted. Well, these idea's are really stabbing in the dark, but you gotta start somewhere! thanks for your hints, i checked all these things but there seems nothing of shorewall remainig! i am quite sure cause i am using a cruft script which searches for files remaining after an uninstall. The scriptt does its job there were several files from shorewall remaining, but now they are all gone but my problem still remains. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
Hi again, it seems that i was running in another problem. This are my current iptables! Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination block all -- anywhere anywhere Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywherestate NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywherestate NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywherestate RELATED,ESTABLISHED block all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain block (2 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywherestate RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywherestate NEW DROP all -- anywhere anywhere But everytime i start my internet connection with /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start it seems my rules were changed to this and i can't connect to the internet! Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination LOGudp -- anywhere anywhereudp dpts:0:1023 LOG level warning LOGtcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpts:0:1023 LOG level warning DROP udp -- anywhere anywhereudp dpts:0:1023 DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp dpts:0:1023 LOGtcp -- anywhere anywheretcp flags:FIN,SYN,RST,ACK/SYN LOG level warning DROP tcp -- anywhere anywheretcp flags:FIN,SYN,RST,ACK/SYN DROP icmp -- anywhere anywhereicmp echo-request Chain FORWARD (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain block (0 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywherestate RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywherestate NEW DROP all -- anywhere anywhere What could be the problem here? Is the net init-script changing my rules? I think i have removed shorewall completely, so there shouldn't be any remaining files which could cause that behavior. Or are there some remaining files from shorewall? When i invoke iptables save with my generate rules and restart iptables, the rules are ok and i can connect! Thanks in advance!

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
But everything looks quite normal, except for that packets aren't routed. So its up to somebody else to tell exactly what that policy module in iptables does -- and how. I don't have answers left here -- except for the case that a manual iptables setup is sufficient. Personally, I'm quite happy with $ iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE $ iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT $ iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT for the forwarding. All that fancy-schmanzy stuff that shorewall does isn't in there, granted. Thanks, so i think that i have to get familiar with iptables itself, because i want to some more than routing. I will try this rules in the evening and tell you if it works. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
Thanks for that link. The document is _very_ good and complete. But I don't think it's particularly well suited for beginners. My suggestion would probably be very conservative: netfilter.org's own docs. http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/index.html np, i thought when i have to learn iptables, then i want to know all about. it is mentioned at the netfilter site. but i will have a look at netfilter own documentation. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
Hmmm, me either. I'm not sure about what it would be called. Do you have gkrellm installed? Sometimes I use it to see where the traffic is. That is how I knew it was iptables in my other thread. The data was getting there because gkrellm was seeing it but my system was not. No clue how one can see it and the other can't though. no i did not use gkrellm, i am just seting up the new desktop machine no X until now, i want to do the basics first! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
I would check that you have done: echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward I think this is set, but i will check again. Also make sure ICMP isn't blocked anywhere. I have only blocked ping from the internet to the firewall and nowhere else. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a home router
Send the output from iptables-save, please. Otherwise we could only guess if the problem is with your firewall rules or somewhere else. Ok, i will do that when i am back home. i thought the output from iptables -L in my original post was enough. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

But since you can connect between router and desktop, I think you borked your /etc/hosts. localhost clearly doesn't seem to be assigned to 127.0.0.1. So fix your hostnames! This here: /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.1 gentoo-vdr.linux gentoo-vdr 192.168.0.2 gentoo.linux gentoo ::1 localhost I think localhost is assigned to 127.0.0.1, or did i misunderstood something? just can't be true if the routes above are the complete routes and you can connect to your desktop from the router. I can connect from router to desktop and back ping and ssh are working, i can connect to the internet from the router, but i couldn't do this from the desktop Another option than /etc/hosts may be a seriously broken dnsmasq config. I will post the config when i am back. For those who are not familiar with shorewall here are the generated iptables on the router. iptables -L -t filter Chain FORWARD (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination Empty FORWARD chain and policy DROP means everything not going to the router itself is gonna be dropped. Note that you made yourself a hard time since there's DROP and REJECT (built-in targets) and you also reference Drop, drop, Reject and reject targets. I never used shorewall, but if that naming is from them, they are clearly freaks. the whole iptables config is generated by shorewall, i recognised this different namings too. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
