What I've done is to add the default entry in grub.conf normally. After every menu entry, I've added `savedefault 0'.

Hmmm. bash -i is not a login shell. An interactive shell doesn't
read /etc/profile if it's not a login shell.
From man bash:
``When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a
non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes
commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading
that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in
that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists
and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started
to inhibit this behavior.
When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads
and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be
inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force
bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.''

Actually, GDM uses Xsessions and startx uses xinitrc files. If you look at the /etc/X11/xinitrc file, it looks for and uses the ~/.xinitrc file if present.

Methinks, Gentoo should stay focused. I don't think the goal of Gentoo was to become a Desktop Distro for the people migrating from M$ land. I don't care about ease of use. The current situation is great for me. I DO want the flexibility and the control. Quality matters, not the quantity. I'm not against ease of use. Its always welcome.

Aaah! Feels so good to be writing this email in kmail again!! So, as you might
guess, its working now.
The problem apparently was that I used upper case letters in the hex numbers.
I didn't know those hex numbers are lower case only :s
Oh and I HAD put them on two lines.
Anyway, now I get this message during bootup:
udevd-event[3110]: rename_netif: error changing net interface name eth0_rename
to eth1: No such device.
It works fine though. But, how do I get rid of that message? Its just annoying
to look at :/
/me thinks about setting RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes"
Anyway, all you people, thanks for your help. Very much appreciated!

[gentoo-user] Changing CFLAGS and cloning the system.. What are my options?
Hi folks, Please bear with me, even if this seems a little newbie-sh. I have a perfectly running Gentoo AMD64 system, with XGL and all. Now I've figured that I need to change my CFLAGS. It's some stupidity on my part, please don't ask. So I guess I'll need to rebuild my entire system. Anyway, I have about 11GB free on the hard disk. I am thinking about building binaries of all the installed packages on the system, keep them burnt on a DVD. I'll back up my /etc. All my data partitions and /home are on different partitions, so I don't see any need to back them up. Also, I'll keep the 2006.0 minimal install CD handy. It does support LVM right? What do I do with the stage tarballs? How can I make a snapshot of this working system as a fallback? I remember something about a Stage 4 in the forums a while ago.. I installed this system well over a year ago with a Stage 1 tarball. Should I keep Stage 3 handy? Is there anything else I should be worried about? Have I forgotten something in case something goes wrong and I have to reinstall the entire thing... Another thing, I'll need to make an exact copy of this system, once rebuilt, on a friend's laptop, albeit with a different partition setup. My system has LVM setup, the laptop won't have that.

[gentoo-user] OT - Need help with NAT
Hi, I have been having trouble forwarding packets using iptables on my Gentoo box. I am no iptables expert. I connect to the internet using rp-pppoe. I use firestarter for firewalling. Yesterday I installed VMware and chose host only networking between the VMs. vmnet0 was bound to 192.168.128.1 and the rest of the subnet being 192.168.128.0/24. As should be obvious by now, I need to forward packets from ppp0 to vmnet0 and allow outbound packets as well. I chose vmnet0 to be the adaptor connected to my LAN and enabled Internet Connection Sharing in Firestarter. I could ping my virtual hosts and do ssh and telnet, but I couldn't access the internet from those hosts. I also tried the Gentoo Home Router Guide. But to no avail. I still couldn't have the hosts access the internet. I have had this problem with actual physical LAN too. I haven't been able to allow any of the LAN hosts to connect to the internet through my Gentoo box. Could someone help me? Thank you. -- -------- Mrugesh Karnik GPG Key 0xBA6F1DA8 Public key on http://wwwkeys.pgp.net pgpHLqsu2JtzA.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, cgiirc-0.5.8 got installed as part of the regular update world cycle yesterday. It was slotted alongside 0.5.7.

[gentoo-user] Hardware issues, probably overheating, help?
Hi, I've been having issues with the computer shutting down automatically. Makes me wonder if it's an over heating problem. The system (AMD Sempron 2500+, MSI K8M800 mobo, two Seagate HDDs, an LG DVD Burner and a GB of RAM) has developed a habit of shutting down or restarting randomly, no matter what OS I'm using. A few days ago, the system shut itself down. I pressed the start switch but it would not respond, instead the power LED just kept blinking. I thought it to be an overheating issue and let it cool off for a bit. It worked fine for a few days and then this phenomenon just kept repeating itself and the frequency increased. There were a few lockups in between too. This would happen when running and update world while running Azureus in KDE or even when I was doing something as trivial as just chatting. One day, the system refused to start. I pressed the start switch after a few minutes of such a shutdown and all that happened was I could see the power, HDD LEDs and the DVD burner's LED all glowing, but the monitor wouldn't start. The CPU fan would be working. I let the thing sleep for a few hours. Later, I though I'd just run memtest to check if the RAM modules aren't causing any trouble. The pc actually started this time, but as soon as the memtest86+ screen came up, the thing shut itself down once again. Next day, I had the system lock up twice while editing the BIOS settings. This time I decided to dig out the processor and take the board and the processor to the dealer for checkup. Turns out that the processor had got stuck to the heat sink. After separating and reinstalling the two, the system worked fine for a few days. Now, again, a couple of days ago, I had the shut down. This time I decided to keep the room as cool as possible and have been running the computer with the lid open. But then again, just a few minutes ago, I had the shutdown while compiling K3B while running KDE and Azureus. Since then I've put up ksensors to check the temperature constantly. It's showing a pretty neat 35C right now, running Azureus, Kmail and Kopete. Anyway, the point of this lng emails is that I haven't exactly pin pointed the problem. If anyone thinks this is something other than over heating, please reply. Thank you, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Recompile all the packages with jack support. emerge --update --newuse world should do it i guess. Emerge qjackctl. Then emerge rosegarden with -arts and +jack..

I shut off the system. Booted this morning only to find /dev/dsp missing and alsasound giving errors about soundcard '0' being not found. I tried to upgrade all the alsa packages (alsa-lib alsa-driver alsa-utils alsa-jack alsa-oss) to 1.0.10. I have been using 1.0.9, because I get a very very low volume, even with Master and PCM set to 100% with 1.0.10. Anyway, even after upgrading and running alsaconf, I still had the same problem. I decided to downgrade udev to 077, which I had been using till yesterday. It worked, I got my /dev/dsp back and sound worked. But I still had to downgrade alsa to 1.0.9 to solve the volume issue. My question is, has anyone else seen this issue? Should I report this as a bug? Regards, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It's 32 bit and works perfectly with netscape-flash, which of course is 32 bit too. I just haven't been able to figure out how to get Sun's JRE to work with Opera though. It works fine with Firefox. So I use Firefox-bin and/or Opera for websites with Flash. Firefox-bin for Java. Though I also use Konqueror with Blackdown JDK, which is 64 bit, for Java stuff too. And there's Mozilla with VLC plugin for streaming stuff. Cheers, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

AFAIK, firefox-bin, thunderbird-bin, mplayer-bin and openoffice-bin are all 32 bit. I don't know of any other bin packages in portage. But it makes perfect sense to keep the 32 bit bin packages in portage. Regards, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Works perfectly. To run Firefox with Flash and Sun's Java, you can use 32 bit firefox-bin. Works perfectly fine when Flash is installed via Portage. As for Sun's JRE, you'll need to extract it yourself and just add a link to its plugin so in mozilla's plugins directory. This information is available in the AMD64 related documents on http://gentoo-wiki.com I also compiled Mozilla with VLC plugin for streaming stuff. Mplayer-bin which is 32 bit, is also installed for win32codecs to work. I don't use XMMS, I use amaroK. Works perfectly. So does ALSA. There's a nice guide in GPD for creating 32 bit chroots.

I ran into problems with DirectFB. I had to manually sort out the dependencies
and re-emerge libsdl and sdl-sound first. Other than that, everything was
fine. xine-lib also got recompiled perfectly after libsdl and DirectFB.
Thank you for your reply.

This is the only file that has libarts in its name. But the file xine-lib was
looking for was /usr/kde/3.4/lib64/libartsc.la, which obviously wasn't found
in the output of the command you mentioned.
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib64/ao/plugins-2/libarts.la in *... ]
media-libs/libao-0.8.5 (/usr/lib64/ao/plugins-2/libarts.la)
Anyway, should I still re-emerge all the packages with all the other *.la
files?
Thanks,
Mrugesh
P.S. I am emerging all the packages anyway. Let's see how it goes.

Highlight: load modules for devices that are discovered by your kernel before init runs. Meaning, coldplug is for loading modules for devices that are attached before init was started. Hotplug still exists and is used for automatically loading modules for devices that are attached after the system is up. I think what that ebuild says comes from the fact that hotplug and coldplug used to be provided by the same package in the past. Now, we have two separate packages.

[gentoo-user] Xine-lib and arts-3.5.. Doesn't get compiled
Hello, I upgraded to KDE 3.5 and removed the slotted KDE 3.4. xine-lib was compiled with +arts back in the KDE 3.4 days. Yesterday, I installed imagemagick and now wanted to compile xine-lib with +imagemagick which was - previously. The trouble is, that xine-lib doesn't want to get compiled with +arts, because it looks for the libartsc.la from /usr/kde/3.4/blah.. The file doesn't exist anymore because I removed KDE 3.4. So, my question should be quite apparent by now. How do I get xine-lib to compile with +arts with arts-3.5? Thanks, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user]Specific umask for a specific ext3 filesystem
Hello, I have couple of ext3 partitions for my data. I need to mount them in such a way that all the files created on those partitions would always bear a umask which is different from the umask globally set in /etc/profile. How do I achieve this? I tried mounting the partition with umask=whatever option, but apparently, according to man mount, umask option isn't available for ext3. Temporarily, I've put a little code into /etc/conf.d/local.start that checks if the the partitions are mounted and if they are, chmod's them.

[gentoo-user] Xorg.. twm not starting and terrible performance with fluxbox
Well hi again, It took longer than I expected to change the server. Anyway. The VIA Unichrome situation turned out to be a no-go for me. I had to install an NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 on the machine and get X running. I think this whole thread and me compiling various Xorg versions about 8 or 9 times was a waste of time. Because as it turns out, fluxbox, even on the nvidia drivers took ages to open xcalc and such. The only difference was that, the mouse pointer moved properly with nvidia drivers when fluxbox was trying to open xcalc. With vesa, the pointer lagged like hell! Something interesting did happen though. I had that "Unknown device" in my lspci output for both Gentoo and FC4 when I was on VIA Unichrome. Now after switching to nvidia, I can see a Host Bridge properly identified in its place. I wonder why that would be? I still am confused about one thing though... which exactly is the 2D driver for VIA Unichrome? I apologise to those who wasted their time reading this thread and replying in it.. but I found the problem worth investigating and I am still intrigued by it..

Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Best video player
what's the best video player in your opinion? Kaffeine is great for playing DVDs. I use kaffeine when in KDE. Kplayer is also good. Kplayer can use xine or mplayer as the backend, which is a nice feature. I prefer mplayer with directfb on the console though. Mplayer simply is great! Do not underestimate VLC though. I had some problems with its GUI, because I didn't compile it with wxwindows support. That I guess is an error on my part. But VLC is great! I use VLC in Windows.

Like most binary distros, the FC RPMs probably enable everything 'enableable'. I have no idea why the drivers are considered 'insecure', but assuming they are (which would not surprise me), it's well within the realm of possibility that they fall under the "you have to know what you're doing and decide for yourself' section of the Gentoo design philosopy (which is the major thrust of the Gentoo design philosopy, so that doesn't surprise me either). Why FC 4 would enable them and Gentoo would mark them as insecure well, heck-- FC4 uses GCC 4.0 *by default* as I understand it, and we have it completely masked (and most other distros don't use it either, afaik, certainly not by default yet). So since FC4 seems to want to live even further out on the 'bleeding edge' than we are said to do, again, I'm not surprised that the drivers would be enabled by default, no matter their status in terms of security, completeness, or stability. HTH, Holly Hmmm. Well, I love my Gentoo. I can always use the bleeding edge stuff with ~ keywords (As you would already know of course ;))!

I looked into portage and yaay! The VIA drivers package is there.. Only, its -amd64. I am on AMD64. I'm wondering what to do. If all fails, I'll have to buy an NVIDIA AGP card I guess. I love Gentoo too much to remove it just because of this graphics card issue. (Wise choice spending money on an FX5200 just to have Gentoo running??? Well, I can always install UT and say to myself, YES! Wise choice indeed :P ) Regards, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Richard Fish wrote: I think we have a failure to communicate here Actually no... The via_drv I am talking about is an _x.org_ driver, not a kernel driver. It has nothing to do with the kernel sources or rebuilding the kernel. It should exist at /usr/lib/modules/drivers/via_drv.o (along with all other X11 drivers). I know! My xorg just doesn't want to compile that file! So what I tried was to enable the VIA drivers in the kernel. It then compiled both drm.ko and via.ko and also via_drv.o, but the via_drv.o never left the /usr/src directory. I don't understand why you don't have this file. The only case this should be missing is if you have USE=minimal. Could you please post the output of "emerge -pv xorg-x11"? I surely didn't use the minimal flag. The first time I had enabled insecure-drivers and disabled font-server. Then after reading your first email, I tried to compile it with the same USE flags as yours. Once you have this file, then you will need to update your xorg.conf Device section and change the Driver option to "via". Already tried that, but of course, no via_drv.o! The kernel has a DRM driver for via, that (if compiled as a module) will be installed under /lib/modules as "via.ko". To load that, you will modify /etc/autoload.d/kernel-2.6 to add the line "via". However, again, this is only for DRI/DRM support, and will almost certainly require using the X11 via driver, so let's worry about that later! -Richard Well, the kernel modules have been loaded already... I noticed one thing, the agpgart option in the kernel is always disabled... !x86_64 says the Help for that option. As it is, I have a PCI card... I just can't understand why the file isn't compiled by xorg. Not to mention, FC4 uses "vesa" and works perfectly. I wonder what's going on with Gentoo :( Thanks for your help so far, Mrugesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

However, looking through the ebuild, it looks like the 'via' driver will be disabled if you use the 'minimal' flag. So make sure you don't merge with that in any case! One thing.. my Sempron surely supports mmx and sse. I have both of those USE flags in my make.conf, but when emerging something, both those flags are in the () and are not used... why is that? Flags in () are hard-masked by the profile. In this case, /usr/portage/profiles/linux-default/use.mask masks out mmx, mmx2, sse, and others. It is then up to the profile-specific mask to unmask them if they will work there...and at present only the x86 profile does this, so if you are using the amd64 profile, these flags are simply disabled. Ebuilds can still add the appropriate CFLAGS or configure options to enable mmx/sse however. The xorg-x11 ebuild does this for the amd64 profile. -Richard Still no luck. I tried compiling VIA Unichrome suppport in the kernel, but the kernel version of via_drv.o doesn't move out of /usr/src. xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 doesn't compile via_drv.o and my X is performing very badly!

Re: [gentoo-user] some i/o errors are making my portage useless!

Just last month a hard disk (IDE) of mine died after giving out io errors first on the logical volume that hosted my /usr/portage.

I did some more digging, and it seems you are correct in thinking that OOo should have this feature. But it doesn't seem to be enabled in the binary beta builds. I did an strace of the OOo startup under KDE, and it looks for but doesn't find a library named "libvclplug_kde608li.so". Since it doesn't find that, it drops to "libvclplug_gen680li.so", which is what results in the generic 'java' look.

I'm just wondering if you people could help me find a good way as to how to go about this. Right now I can see myself doing a very very tedious job of using equery and such and listing out everything properly... a few hours' work.

Unless I know I'm never going to upgrade the system *and* I can justify

Actually, now the system is up and I converted all the windows

partitions to the Linux ones. In the process, I added another 2 hard

[gentoo-user] The 2005.0 LiveCD hates me! :'(
OK. I just booted into Windows right now. This is the 5th time I've tried to install Gentoo from the 2005.0 LiveCD and have failed. Now, before you make any comments about anything... I've installed Gentoo from the 2004.3 LiveCD and had used it for over a month. IIRC, in my second attempt, I got it working fine with 2004.3. Anyways... Firstly, I managed to boot into the installed system once, but stuff like KDE failed to emerge. After that, I had to switch the hard disk, so I chose to reinstall anyways. Also, when in the chrooted environment, after compiling and installing the kernel and nvidia-kernel, nano breaks up. When I say "nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6", the console gets garbled and I have to use Alt+SysRq+e to get back to the prompt! Also, I have this problem with "netmount" trying to start (and failing) during boot up that I haven't found an answer to... All in all, I'm completely frustrated and pissed off. Now, I'm looking for alternatives. Maybe I can install from the 2004.3 LiveCD but I'm using LVM2 and I don't think the 2004.3 LiveCD supports it. Someone (sorry I don't remember the name) suggested to me in #gentoo that it has LVM1... So can someone please tell me how I can accomplish an installation with LVM2? Also, can I install 2005.0 using the Knoppix CD? I think Knoppix supports LVM2... right? Guys, I seriously need ideas... I can't afford to waste too much time trying to install Gentoo...
